As a beloved hamburger and fast-food restaurant, Wendy's stands out with an impressive menu that satisfies both classic burger aficionados and adventurous eaters alike.

One cannot visit Wendy's without indulging in the iconic Dave's Combo, featuring a perfectly seasoned quarter-pound of juicy fresh beef, melty American cheese, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, zesty pickles, and a blend of ketchup and mayo—all lovingly layered on a toasted bun exactly as founder Dave intended. For those seeking a heartier delight, the Baconator® Combo truly reigns supreme with its whopping half-pound of succulent beef, complemented by six crispy slices of Applewood smoked bacon, cheese, and a creamy duo of ketchup and mayo. Every bite bursts with smoky, savory richness that carnivores will adore.

Good but little ghetto. Parked my bike there on light pole locked , a guy showed up next thing I know he was pretending to lock his bike next to mine but actually trying to break or cut the cable on my bike.

Chaniyah has awesome customer service skills. She made sure that all the customers had what they needed and was working hard back and forth between take out orders and dine in orders. Then she was sweeping the dining area while still making sure everything was taken care of at the counter. It was a busy night. She is great at her job and if she isn't a manager she should be.

I reluctantly went with a coworker for lunch, 12:30 and there's was no line. there was 10-12 people seated and eating. I walked in right to the register and my order was immediately taken I received my order in less than 5 minutes, hot and the fries were fresh!! BRAVO TO THE ENTIRE STAFF!!

Employees are very friendly. The food was good, however the size of the double burger was the biggest joke!! Two patties together was about half the size of a regular burger at McDonald's or Burger king. The chicken nuggets were very good. I was impressed with the size of the small soda, it would have been a medium at other places.

Definitely a good Wendy's location. hot and crispy (and well salted) fries, actual burger was great and they don't skimp on the sauce. good staff and good environment. only issue was the dining area was kinda messy but I visited during a rush so I assume they just didn't have enough staff to keep up at the time. that said, food being hot, fresh, and out fast (around 5 min) was great!!
