Went inside to order... This location is unusual... it's half gas station & half Wendy's... but the Wendy's side is as big as a regular Wendy's --- we hadn't seen this before. Anyway, we rarely go to the 'gas station restaurant' regardless of the restaurant name... but we knew that we were very close to getting back on I-65 and didn't know how far north we'd have to go to find more restaurants. We had already went to two other places that didn't seem to want to serve anyone, so we bailed out of those....
So, they get a tray ready for a couple ahead of us.... they had some sort of sandwiches (wrapped items), fries (open), and chili (no lids). They had overfilled the chili and the manager was telling them that she spilled it and was laughing about it and asking if it was ok or if they needed a fresh tray.... this wasn't the problem... the manager was leaning forward and talking right over their food.... this is not allowed anywhere by any health department... she was going on and on, laughing, etc... you know she spit all over that food. I know most people don't see it this way and don't think about it... but it is against health department codes everywhere (in the US), but laws and health codes don't seem to apply...
If we hadn't already ordered, we would have left. Luckily, someone else besides this nasty manager had bagged our food. We had to wait over 25 minutes for our food... we got it, walked out to the car, and checked the order before we drove away.... Our sandwiches were COLD. The fries were also COLD.
We took them back inside... they claimed that they gave us hot & fresh food and they didn't want to replace it.
They replaced the food.... again, it was COLD.
We just got a refund. We ended up driving all the way up to Athens and went to Whataburger... paid less and got fresh, HOT food. read more
