Pleasantly clean inside. Ample seating for multiple people if going in a party of 5+ Food was as expected. Good potatoes, burgers, and fries. The only gripe I have of this location is that the soda machine was acting up. So I got all carbonation but no sugar in my drinks. read more

Food was fresh this time and the service was good. But do I need to ask for napkins and ketchup at the drive thru?

Never in my life going back to this restaurant , I ordered a whole meal, first of all my coke tasted like water, hamburger was a little cold, I asked for a barbecue & they said there's a 55 cent fee, mind you I'm getting a whole meal, Wendy's need to do better!!! read more

My family and I came to this Wendy's late at night after a long day, just looking for a simple dinner. We didn't realize the lobby was closing soon, but nothing was communicated to us when we walked in. One employee was already cleaning tables before we even sat down, which is normal and not an issue. What was an issue was the behavior that followed. After we got our food and sat down, the same employee came out from the back and let out an exaggerated, loud sigh that everyone in my family clearly heard. He then proceeded to stare at us and walk around the entire lobby muttering to himself. It was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and honestly rude. He kept saying his own name over and over, so I guess this is directed to you, Braden. If you're frustrated about having customers close to closing time, that's something to take up with management not to take out on paying customers who were never told to leave. The food was fine, but the attitude completely ruined the experience. read more

Not a big fan of fastfood drive-thrus, but in a pinch they have to do. Being new to the area, I figure I'd give this "newly opened" place a try. Mediocre at best! What did I expect? Nothing noteworthy. The public has an evolving palate. read more

Wendy's is one of my favorite fast food joints and it's quite unfortunate that I have to trek almost 2 miles to the nearest location, which happens to be this particular Wendy's in the Woodlawn Shopping Center. I'll admit the times I've been here, I've only ordered through their the drive-through during the morning hours which haven't been busy the times I've gone. I've also made it a point not to expect much inside (and even dine-in) if the exterior is dated and unappealing. In my experience of ordering here, service hasn't been terrible but it's not extraordinary. They haven't messed up an order, however, in a recent visit they did forget to include an item I ordered and thankfully I hadn't left the drive-through window so I was able to flag down someone to fill that order (which did take a hot minute but I'm not complaining). The reason I'd give the rating an above average score is mainly for the food. So far nothing seemed to be "sold out" or "unavailable", therefore, I've been able to order my usual menu items. Personally, I think the food is just better quality than McDonald's. The beef patties and the chicken is always juicy and delicious. I'm even impressed by how much their chicken nuggets have improved--plump, juicier, and beautifully crispy on the outside. I'll even add that I like that the kids menu comes with interactive activities, games or toys that parents and children can do together. I can appreciate the non-branding of kids meal toys, for sure. Overall, maybe if this particular Wendy's location can update their look, inside and out, I'm sure it would boost morale and bring in more hungry customers. Food is still great and it's worth it to me to make that drive when I have that craving. read more

Worst Wendy's. Truckers park their rigs 12 square blocking like 20 spots. Inside is old and there are flies plenty. It's hot! Super slow with no happiness. Stuff is crossed out on the menu. Won't be back. Down hill. Rebel: 2 read more

See all

I ordered a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, these used to be great but the last 3 I received have been so thin and 80% breading. They exchanged one today as I checked it before I left and it was worse than the one I turned in. I will not be ordering any more spicy chicken. Service is typically slow at this location and there is really 1 person on shift who can communicate effectively. I don't care if you raise prices to make a quality sandwich, just fix it. I totally feel ripped off ! read more

I don't know what happened but I think they have new staff because its much improved. I ordered a double cheeseburger with only onions, pickles, mustard and mayonnaise. I said those were the only things I wanted on it . As I pulled away from the ordering station the young lady said" sir?" But I was already gone and the car behind me had pulled up . When I got to the window they told me they just wanted to double check because even though I asked for a cheeseburger I had said I only wanted those four things. THAT would never would have happened before here ! read more

I stopped in here for lunch today right at 11am. It was great to see that they are finally allowed to open their dining room. I've never been a big fan of drive thru windows, and more often than not, I will take my meal to eat inside. So this is a welcome relief because I love Wendy's. Today there was someone at the register ready to take my order! This again is a big plus for me, because far too many times at other fast food chains, the employees pay more attention to those customers in the drive thru. I ordered the Baconator Combo Meal which is basically a hamburger with bacon and cheese. The combo includes fries and a drink if course. Ty e girl who took my order had everything prepared and bagged up for me in less than one minute. I love it when things go so smoothly. The burger was great too! read more

Wendy's - the inside of a fast food restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Figured give it a shot since it was just all redone. Not even reopen a week and place was disgusting. Walked in and it smelled like they had a sewage back up. Smell was atrocious even worse by a brand new soda machine. Soda tasted disgusting but at least the burger was typical Wendy's fashion. Food mediocre at best when compared to other Wendy's locations. The overall cleanliness of the place was awful. Really would have expected better from the employees of a recently remodeled store. Definitely will not return. read more

We were just in there to order some frostys and no one was in the store but us, but even with that no one acknowledged our presence. Two girls passed, looked at us and just walked away. They're chit chatting, laughing among themselves and ignoring customers. The place is quite dirty and run down. Also there's was only one car at the drive through. What's the excuse? Don't waste your time there. I don't expect good customer service from fast food, but any customer service at all would have been good. read more

Wendy's - Only one car at the drive through and no other customer inside the store, but we still did not get service. - Burgers Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

We ate at the new Wendy's on 8700 Richmond Hwy Alexandria Virginia on Tuesday March 28, 2023 doing lunch time. My husband and I placed an order for dine in Fries (Cold) Asiago Chicken (Cold) and Spicy Chicken Nuggets (Cold). I really did not enjoy at all I know they just open but the food should be piping hot not cold if you just open. read more

I rarely order food but have ordered twice from here in the past 6 months via Uber Eats. Both times my orders were completely wrong. Today I ordered a salad, which was clearly listed on the receipt and I got some fried chicken sandwich. I ordered an unsweet tea and got a regular cola and I ordered a small chili with onions and sour cream but got nothing. Got a full refund from Uber Eats but still had to tip a driver for nothing I could eat. Quality control is terrible and with so many options, I won't be giving them a third chance. read more

Don't go to this Wendy's near closing time. I waited forever in drive through lane just for a Frosty after dinner. Gave up on the line that hadn't moved for 15-20 minutes and decided to go inside. Was handled a frosty that was sitting in a cooler and half melted. If I wanted a chocolate shake I would have gone to McDonald's across the street. I wanted a FROZEN Frosty. Lost my business and I live in the neighborhood and WAS a good customer. read more

Drive thru experience only. This is the closest Wendy's in route 1 and I got to say, the drive thru staff are very friendly and I always get fresh food. :) read more

Just pulled away without my order. Same person taking payment is fixing food. Barely had a mask covering their face, also wearing what looked like Werewolf press on nails without gloves. Going to stick to my usual spots... read more

I ordered an Asiago spicy chicken sandwich and the chicken texture was rubbery with the skin of the chicken falling off. It was also hard to bite into which made the sandwich not enjoyable. I'm scared to see what other atrocities they serve people. I will not be coming back here again. read more

Slowest service I've ever had at Any fast food restaurant waited 25 minutes. I could have gone to a sit down restaurant and been served quicker. read more

I've been 31 years next to this Wendy's and gave up on it quite some time ago. Today I made the mistake of returning, because Subway (next door) had a broken drink machine. It's dirty in Wendy's, and the floor is sticky and full of debris at 12:33. Takes 9 minutes to get to the register because - there is only one. Then it took 11 minutes to get my very simple # 1 combo to the counter. I am here 20 minutes before my tray is ready, except its not. No fries ..... I asked three times for my fries, then gave up when I was ignored. So didn't even get what I paid for. And the ketchup dispenser was empty as well. Do yourself a favor and go to the McDonalds across the street or the Roy Rodgers 2 blocks south. They are far cleaner and more efficient, with a trained staff that knows their job. I won't be ever going back to this Wendy's. read more

Found a piece of hair in my cheese fries. It was hidden under a bunch of fries I'd already eaten. I am disgusted and will do everything I can to formally report this. read more

Drive thru is incredibly slow and the food is below par for Wendy's. Sometimes I've not even gotten a response at the drive thru. Inside is also bad, VERY SLOW and the inside is old and dirty. They just need a bulldozer to fix this place. The Wendy's on Fairfax County Parkway near 95 is much better, so that's your closest safe bet. read more

This Wendy's is in need of new ownership. I've gone a handful of times over many years and left each time disappointed. I returned recently hoping things had changed but still awful. The management/owner skimps on food products at every opportunity to maximize profit. My cheeseburger had one little curled up piece of lettuce, a slimy end piece of a tomato and half of a slice of American cheese. Really? They can't use one regular slice of cheap cheese but instead cut them in half. I'm familiar with supply side food costs - this place is ridiculous. The fries were cooked in old, rancid oil. Blech. read more

I have gone to this Wendy's multiple times because yes I am a fat*ss. But out of the 12 times I have gone they have only gotten my order correct 4 times. Now I'm not a smart man but that ratio does not add up well for you Wendy's. Y'all must of hired the three stooges, three blind mice and hellen Keller cause y'all really can't count or tell the difference between a chicken sandwich and a hamburger. I got 4 kids and y'all have put me in a bad spot too many times. How do I tell a kid instead of ten nuggies he got 4. Gawdamn it 4...my pitbull inhales that in 1 second. Retrain the staff on drive thru orders please for the love of Allah. read more

So this location averages 2.5 stars, I'm actually surprised that it's not 2 even. Fast food in general is not exactly gourmet but there's something about every single fast food place along Richmond Highway that is especially bad when it comes to either taste, customer service or sometimes even how long it takes to get your order, this Wendy's location is no exception. The food is barely edible, they weren't ready or prepared to make a chicken sandwhich and the fries were like clay. I'm not sure if it's just the 2 Wendy's in Alexandria but the Wifi is not easy to access or has a mediocre signal if you do get connected. About the only positive is plentiful parking at night. read more

Went through drive thru first thing guy says was sorry for the wait we are understaffed. Not looking good. Got our order $30+ all drinks were flat. Asked for no onions on one burger no mayo on another. Got both on both. They def having a rough night. read more

6/25 - The guy taking orders (drive thru) needs to do something else other than that. It's always a problem whenever I come there and he's working. He doesn't let you finish making your order. Interrupts and is very unprofessional. Ruined my order. No bacon on my sandwiches and there's tomato's after I said not to have them on there. This guy is ridiculous. Get him out of there. read more

We were traveling with a bus load of 37 eighth-graders and five adults. We stopped in at this Wendy's on our way back to the airport... unannounced. I was very impressed with the greeting we received. Normally if we stop in announced at a fast food restaurant, the employees do not appear very happy to see 42 people walking at once. Quite the contrary, we were greeted with a smile and received very friendly service! I was impressed to the point of being shocked at the speed of service. Our students quickly placed their individual orders and received their food and drinks promptly. In walking around to the tables and asking how the food was, they were very pleased with the quality of the food as well as the amount of food for the price they paid. When the students finished ordering, the owner came out and chatted with us. As we got ready to leave, he asked if there's anything else we needed and offered to give us bottles of water or more beverages. Overall it was an amazing experience considering what we as chaperones expected. We will now probably make this a regular stop on our way back to the airport each year after visiting Washington DC and Alexandria. read more

Very slow...long wait. Then when I got home I found out they gave me someone else's order. I paid almost $13 and got a bowl of chili instead of chicken sandwich and hamburger. read more

Very bad customer service. Walked in 3 employees looked at me didn't bother asking if I need to place my order. Finally I as was walking out the manager who also was one of the 3 that ignored me asked me if I was ready. I went ahead and told him how I felt ignored by them and still ordered. I sat down and opened my chili it was room temperature that my extra cheese I paid for didn't even melt. First and last time I came here. I did asked for a refund. read more

Worst Wendy's experience ever! Even a number 1 combo, a standard at Wendy's, was really awful. Soggy, cold and greasy. It was only 7 pm on a Thursday night but the food seemed to have been made days before. Horrible fries too. Again, cold and greasy. This is not like Wendy's elsewhere. Keep driving... read more

One time I got really bad food poisoning from here. Other times I've been OK. Saw an exceptionally hot girl in line also one time.

This Wendy's has very poor customer service with a low sense of urgency. Took 25 min to get one meal inside the lobby. The staff was arguing about orders in front of the customers, and only one person up front with others around not willing to assist. There were no smiles from the workers and everyone moves very slowly. I asked if they served the cookie sundae still, and got a response "don't know" without checking with anyone else. read more

The absolute worst. Waited over ten minutes for our food. Going through the drive thru and we were asked to pull ahead and wait. We had to drive thru again to get our food. And these clowns want more than minimum wage. read more

Nasty and gross soon as you walkin. Not only the decor n cleanliness but also the employee attitude. A lady stood there for 5 minutes while and employee was on her phone or was day dreaming and didn't acknowledge her. Stay away please so they can close that nasty place down read more

Always a problem when I come here. Already cooked Fries are always being re-dipped into the oil prior to serving. Charged me for someone else's order once. Airways a issue. Use to love Wendy's until this one. Gross, im done ordering here. read more

Don't spend your money for this garabage!! Their food is old, the restaurant is dirty and UNSANITARY! Food service is poor, manager RACIST! Employees do not have customer service. My order was messed up old /gross the manager said come in I'll comp the order. I go back get a tall Indian /middle Eastern decent manager rude ass hell! He talking to me like in a nasty threating manner, accusatory like I was lying trying to get free food!! WTF ..the nerve and the cashier was incoherent and biased. Like they need better managers, a more diverse group of CAPABLE employees. That manager go tell me to pay 50%, ugh no! I paid for all the food originally and it was trash! I had a green tomatoe on my sandwich!!!! The bake pottoes were baked 190 times dry and old. I wish I would of read the reviews. Basically this whole area has terrible food service. read more

This Wendy's was the worst one I've ever been to. We ordered two chicken nuggets meals. One had two sets of fries & no chicken nuggets. The other was missing nuggets. We had to explain twice what was wrong. They took back the bag. They gave us the wrong number of nuggets again. The fries had no salt-but that may be normal for them. The kids meal we ordered for our daughter only had 3 nuggets instead of 4. They didn't give her the drink. We had to ask for the chocolate milk. The one they gave us was warm. We ordered honey mustard & ketchup & they didn't give us either until we asked again for it. They were frustrated when we asked for ketchup. read more

Awful.This is my first review and I actually downloaded Yelp just so I could complain about this. Waited for 30 minutes and then my order was wrong. A guy actually had to ask for his money back. Then the manager complained to the employees about the guy after he had left. If you don't realize that that is a problem, you should be fired. read more

SLOWEST PLACE EVER! No stars, get it together! I shouldn't have to sit at the screen for 7 minutes to order!
