Before I start, a quick note to CM Sarah C. of Portland Oregon https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=meff4yE5gLIYIXt4G6BPmQ who published the lists of the Most Prolific Yelpers of 2024 https://blog.yelp.com/community/50-most-prolific-elites-of-2024/ and 2023 https://blog.yelp.com/community/the-50-most-prolific-elites-of-2023/. You'll see at the bottom of this review a count of how many reviews I've written this year so far - 2500. I have exceeded last year's count when I wrote 2023 in 2023. I wasn't tracking how many tips I wrote last year, so I only have 2024's number. When you published the list this month, at that point I had more than 1200 tips and 1000 Firsts to Review and over 800 check-ins for the year. My 2300 reviews through 2024 at that time was more than #1 and #2 had written in their entire Yelp careers! But you know that now because I mentioned it in the emails that you didn't answer when I asked why I was excluded. I also sent emails to Andrea R., the Senior Vice President of Community last year and she didn't answer either. On to the review! After spending the morning at coffee shops in Reidsville and Greensboro, it was lunch time and I was still needing wifi and power to work. This Wendy's fit the bill as it's close to the highway and they have both of those. I arrived to find a clean parking lot and a mostly clean dining room. After getting settled at a seat next to a power outlet, I brought up the Wendy's app and placed my order. A few minutes later, I picked it up from the counter. My "Junior Cheeseburger Deluxe Biggie Bag" was correct. The burger was assembled properly (though the lettuce core was meh), the nuggets were warmer than warm but not quite hot, the fries were done properly, and I was able to refill my drink a couple of times at their Coke Freestyle machine. I like the sugar free Minute Maid lemonade. Despite sitting with my laptop for nearly two hours, I was undisturbed and no one minded. I got to see a good flow of customers coming through and none came back to the counter with problems. That's a good sign. Overall, this was a "Good" experience and I'd hit up this Wendy's again.

See all

Wendy's in Advance needs to do better!!! burger was ice cold nuggets were so hard. fries tasted like old grease. made us all sick.

Went through the drive through around 5:30 pm on a Saturday. Few cars in the parking lot and none in the drive through. Order was simple enough and still ended up wrong when we got home. Burgers were dry, like they'd been sitting out a while. The Coke I got was incredibly sweet and I dumped it down the drain. I used to really like Wendy's but it has gone downhill. They don't need to recreate a flashy menu. Just get the basics right. Don't imagine I'll be back. read more

My experience here was nothing less than magical. The service was impeccable, I've never ate more delicious food in my life. I ordered a Biggie Bag and after finishing my fries I asked for a refill and I got one. Amazing. 5 Stars read more

What is up with Wendy's in Advance, NC. Either management is very poor or the workers just don't care! So tired of being out of menu items. Kids working in there are rude and obviously don't care. We asked about the Salted Caramel Frosty and was told " we ain't got it." read more

I assume everyone knows what they are getting at Wendy's. Decent fast food. The salads, yes salads, are pretty damn good for you Keto mo-fos like me. Note, I'm pretty sure this is the Wendy's that made national news several years ago when an employee took a bath in the sink. They shut it down for a few days. Now, to be fair, that was several years ago and I have worked hard to rehabilitate my reputation so I can get another job in the fast food industry. This location is right off I40 if you are wanting a Wendy's fix and traveling on the interstate. Now, it is easy to get to from I40. Getting back is a little tougher due to a divided road and traffic. read more

They always get the order wrong! Always missing something!! Please recheck order before giving it to a costumer!! Always a hassle!

Terrible place to eat. I ordered a cob salad and was told they had no grilled chicken. So I ordered a taco salad. I got all the way home before I looked at it. All of the lettuce was brown and wilted and the cheese was soured. I was going to take it back but was far from the restaurant. Service was okay. read more

Still can't get the order right. Don't go. Unless you want to make 2 trips Looks like someone should be checking read more

This place is why I'm sick of the BS excuse of "short staffed." My order was COMPLETELY wrong. I ordered a grilled #12 sandwich and got fried instead; not only that, I also ordered a 4 for $4 with a Jr cheeseburger, nuggets and got two fries, and then when I was given the nuggets, they were spicy and not regular nuggets. I also got a chicken sandwich instead of the burger AFTER we told them the initial screwups. Not to even mention the smug look and attitude of the lady at the 2nd window who acted like she hated being there. No straws or napkins and they were out of salt, of all the things in the world. I want someone who heads this location to answer me and tell me that (s)he has competent people working under him/her. Better yet, someone from corporate explain how this makes ANY sense. You deserve to never be in business again and I truly hope and pray that happens. Update - 6/11/22. I sent this to corporate and they've YET to reach out and acknowledge the issue. Wendy's will NEVER get any of my business again. Sit and spin. Update #2 - 6/14/22. The nimrods at corporate said I have to have the app on my phone in order for them to do anything. Talking to people who have this app, they've even worse experiences than mine and nothing was done for them, either. I repeat to Wendy's: SIT AND SPIN. I implore to customers: avoid Wendy's like you would rotten eggs. read more

Terrible service. Last three times Ive been here they have gotten my order wrong. Do not recommend

Usually don't expect much from a fast food place but dang it was horrible! The food was decent but the workers had no Wendy's float hung on both workers had headphones in the bathroom was trash the drink machine only had two options working with no ice when I asked to get some ice to the workers they told me no. read more

This place is as bad as the one in Clemmons. One of the main menu items is baked potato. Why should you have to wait one hour to get one. There was still three hours before closing. There should have been some ready. The person waiting on me offered no apology. He was a dud. Will not return to either of them. read more

Had an unfortunate experience today at my local Wendy's. I once ordered a small lemonade. When I got home, I took a few sips and was distressed to find I'd been given a very small amount of lemonade and a cup filled with ice. From then on, I've always ordered my lemonade with no ice. Well, I placed a mobile order today and went in to pick it up. I instructed the guy no ice and watched as he filed the cup to 2/3!! It's bad enough that they charge a premium for the lemonade over other drinks. I complained and the guy put a little more in, but he still refused to fill the cup as if the lemonade was his own personal supply. I've seen all kinds of stuff online about how Wendy's is so bad and corrupt, now I add my experience. Just can't believe they would quibble with me over an ounce or two of lemonade!!! Just so ridiculous; shame on you Wendy's!!! read more

Truly unbelievable in the scope of bad service. Stopped in after a several hour drive to grab a bite. I was the only customer in line. I waited. Then I waited some more while three staff members had an extended personal conversation while completely ignoring me. They were literally 2 feet from me across from the counter. I waited a bit more as each made eye contact with me and then right back to their conversation. Five minutes later I just walked out. This was November 8th 2017 at 1135 AM. Abysmal in every way. read more

I don't believe that your computer systems are actually down multiple times in the same week. I don't appreciate being lied to. Be transparent about your issues. Three times in one week makes me want to go out of my way to a Wendy's that has their shit together. read more

I was ordering with my boyfriend through the drive thru window for lunch during our break, and mind you he's a very patient person. He was ordering while it was raining and this white older lady taking the order completely cut him off after ordering my food first. He tried getting her attention and she ignored him while he was getting wet from the rain. So we proceeded to the window since we were being ignored and she was getting louder and louder saying she didn't want to add anything to the order so we either payed for the meal we ordered or she would cancel it. Even after explaining that we tried to order more but she cut us off she proceeded to repeat multiple times "can you understand me" (we are Hispanic) like we don't speak English. We speak clear English even though it's our second language. So we asked to speak to a manager and she said "I am the manager" and with everyone being frustrated we just left after she slammed the window on us after cutting him off again! I'm so disappointed that she really tried to bring our race into a simple food order. This is disgusting. read more

Very clean location with friendly employees working at this location just off of the interstate. The location has a perfect rating of 100% and each time I have visited, the drive thru has moved quickly. I give them 5 stars on the fast food scale! read more

Eat HERE and avoid McDonalds!! Great service now, has MUCH improved! Always fresh food, good fries. I honestly prefer Bojangles, but the kids get tired of it at times, so we come here. They are fast, too. Never had to wait long. read more

This Wendy's is probably the worst in the state. My order is guarantee to be wrong every time. The prices keep going up, so your spending 20 bucks for 2 combos. For the price they need to get the order right. read more

Found a piece of hair inside my burger. Poor service. The people working here didn't seem like they even care. This is why I don't eat at fast food restaurants. read more
