Usually we have a great experience with Wendys. The last few times, it just has not been the same. This is the lettuce put on my sandwich. I understand lettuce gets warm, but this is not something I would serve. Nice service at least.

I was very disappointed in the way they applied the sauce. This looks nothing like the advertisement. If this is how the outcome will be for the new promotion. Cancel it because there will be a lot of backlash from this.

I am a regular here and have always had the best service with the best food. The manager Jesus is the best and always helped me when I would be arriving late and ordering food. Will always love this location and the sheer amazing customer service that was provided!

I gave abdul too much money and he was honest and gave it back. He deserves a raise. Considering it cost me $13.92 for a salad and two cookies.

I recently had an outstanding experience at Wendy’s, and I can't rave enough about the exceptional service and warm atmosphere, all thanks to their incredible manager, Jesus. From the moment I walked in, the restaurant was spotless, the staff was cheerful, and the energy was welcoming. Jesus truly sets the bar high for what exemplary leadership looks like. His attentiveness, genuine kindness, and dedication to customer satisfaction shone through in every interaction. Not only did he ensure my food was fresh and perfectly prepared, but he also took the time to greet customers with a warm smile and thoughtful conversation, making everyone feel valued. The team, clearly inspired by Jesus’s leadership, worked seamlessly together, delivering quick, accurate, and friendly service. The meal itself was delicious—crispy fries, a juicy, flavorful burger, and the Frosty was the perfect treat. If you’re looking for not just great food but an uplifting dining experience, this Wendy’s is the place to go. Thank you, Jesus, for going above and beyond. Your passion and heart make all the difference, and it’s clear that Wendy’s is lucky to have you leading the team!

I had an amazing experience at this Wendy’s, and I have to give a huge shoutout to the manager, Jesus. From the moment I walked in, he was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive—not just to me, but to every customer in the lobby. You could tell he genuinely cares about the quality of service and food being served. He checked in on tables with a friendly smile, made sure the dining area was spotless, and even helped his team behind the counter when things got busy. Jesus sets the tone for this location with his leadership and positive attitude. It’s rare to see a manager so hands-on and respectful, and it made my visit feel more like a personalized experience than a typical fast food stop. Wendy’s is lucky to have him.
