    Hard Shell taco

    There was hardly anything on the taco and the shell was stale. Absolutely ridiculous that they're charging as much as they do for hardly anything.

    Still slow AF. No receipt. No napkins. Underdone oles. Less than an ounce of cheese sauce. Sweet tea is delicious though. Time to take it to Taco Bell.

    I always like their food. I always get something when I'm able. Hopefully they bring back the street tacos

    Ordered a chicken quesadilla. They gave me a cheese quesadilla and still charged me for the chicken.

    I used to love Taco Johns growing up, but this last visit was gross. Way too much "goop" mixed in with the taco meat.

    One of the best Taco John's I've been to. Beans are really really good.

    PSA: Yuengling and Yuengling Flight on tap!!! Bonus surprise…read moreof the night. I was in the mood for a burger so we decided to try Burger Shed. We have been there before with friends for drinks and enjoyed the restaurant and good service so decided to check out their burgers. We were in around 5:15 on a Saturday night and immediately seated in a large booth. Our server was friendly and attentive and efficient (checked in briefly 3 times and let us say if we needed anything) all throughout the meal. The burger menu isn't super extensive but satisfying to all palettes- a classic/simple/just the basics, to specialty (see picture). I did sample the means for other offerings and there were many diverse offerings. Apps and dessert tempting but all I was craving was a good burger. I wasn't sure about Mac and cheese on my burger but it was a nice addition. I took some off the burger and enjoyed as an extra side/ it was creamy and mildly flavor so as to add more texture than actual flavor to the burgers. I should mention I had not eaten all day as normally I could never eat two burgers, however they were more thin than thick and tasted perfect on what tasted almost like a steamed (and soft) bun. I enjoyed the signature pickles on the side and added a little signature bacon jam to the burger which was a nice flair of flavor. My husband's burger was the perfect mix of cheese and mushrooms and flavor. Nothing special about the Tots or fries except a generous amount of both and their presentation in a mini fry basket. We waited about 10-15 minutes for our food but between water and drinks served it was a quick wait, especially for a Saturday night. This is a pleasant restaurant whether eating in a quiet booth or for watching bets while eating. Lots of options for couples or larger groups. There isn't much parking close to the restaurant but we found spaces at the hotel right next to it. Worth the drive. Craving satisfied.

    Great food as usual for a late dinner stop. Exceptional service tonight from Emily…read more Looking for great burger options, the Shed is a place to stop. Great cheese curds, too!

    For TWO YEARS I have avoided this Wendy's restaurant - I drive by it DAILY and just kept driving -…read moregiving my business to Arby's & BeBop's across the street. When I DID want something from Wendy's - I would drive into Des Moines to the Wendy's on Euclid. (quite a drive from Altoona JUST for 'fast food") Tonight - the temps dropped to the teens - I decided I wanted a bowl of chili. WENDYS CHILI! I drove around the building twice to see if the rude "manager" was working - didn't see one guy - all female employees and thought to myself, "well, tonight must be safe" - I ordered TWO large Chilis (one to put in the fridge for tomorrow) - pulled up to the window to find a nice lady with a pleasant smile filling my order - WHAT A CHANGE FROM TWO YEARS AGO! I asked if she was a manager - she said she was, I told her quickly how I had not been back in 2 years because of the former manager - she said, "HE was one of the first we fired..." THAT put a HUGE smile on my face! I will be returning to THIS Wendy's more often!

    It was around 8:30pm cst last night. 10/03/2025. They were super busy, so I tried to keep the order…read moresimple. Baconator combo only ketchup & mayo with a vanilla Diet Coke and a #9, just the #9 - 4 chicken strips, not to be confused with the #9 combo option as shown on the menu. There are cameras in the restaurant. Employee threatening to punch me in the face because he refused to give me the correct drink. I wasn't even being an a$$hole yet. Like, they're busy, I get it. I also know it takes all of 30 seconds to switch out the syrup. I asked him at least 5 times. I'm not leaving without what I ordered. The syrup IS out. I'm not drinking soda water that I did not order. You can see it, it looks like iced tea. Literally this guy takes my money and refused to correct the error. He wouldn't even take the incorrect beverage back. I dropped it in the parking lot, I did pick it up. He was all dramatic, putting his hands up like I was going to attack him or something, it was the best acting job I've ever witnessed in real life. It's all on the video footage as well. He tried to tell the manager that I threw it. I absolutely did not. To say it was insane is putting it mildly. The manager went to the lobby to fulfill my drink order and did absolutely nothing to deescalate this vile employee, likely because he's intimidated by his employee. Still not what I ordered, but I just settled. Medium Diet Coke is also NOT what I ordered. It was the dark brown we all know Coke, Diet Coke, vanilla Diet Coke looks like. He refused to even give me a receipt that I asked for. After he threatened to punch me in the face and was screaming at me, flipping me off, I left. HUGE learning curve, just because the machine says it's not out of syrup doesn't mean the machine is correct. This was a joke. "The machine would tell me if it's out of syrup." Clearly your machine is broken. Imagine that. Depending on a machine instead of visuals, taste and brainpower. I just wanted the large vanilla Diet Coke that I paid for. Real simple. I will NEVER go back to Wendy's. Not any of them. I didn't even eat my food. This place cannot be trusted. Even worse, when I was telling my daughter what had transpired, she described the guy to me! He's known to be like this to customers. Yes, he should 100% lose his job. He's in the wrong line of business, or they should move this lunatic to the BOH.
