This has to be the rudest and dirtiest Wendy's I've ever been to. please stay far away I'm calling corporate I hope everyone calls corporate these people are rude don't get your order right then give you a attitude all of them are freaking rude all the way to the manager. Wish I could give -3 stars read more

The food is good and fresh however they always have issues at this location. I placed a order for a Chicken Nugget meal they didn't have Barbecue sauce or Ranch. I also placed a order for Bacanator fries which they were out of and the Chicken Sandwich meals. This location always has something missing and hopefully they can get the inventory together soon. read more

Well let tell you probably the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Placed a mobile order at 10:30 am and finally received my very simple order 2 bacon egg and cheese biscuits, 3 sausage egg and and cheese biscuits and 2 breakfast burritos at 11:10 yes 35 minutes in the drive up! The lobby was closed! Finally got to the pick up window and they ask me to pull forward to wait for the food. Another 15 minutes! I had to get out and knock on the drive up window where I was ignored! I knocked a second time and was greeted by a young rude clerk! Finally got my food!! Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy! read more

When is YELP going to allow a zero-star rating? Like my grandmother's moustache, this location is not worthy of a single star. 1. Their POS system regularly fails. You learn this after waiting in a non-moving drive thru lane for 30 minutes. Consider yourself lucky because you would have been disappointed had you actually had the opportunity to order. 2. If you do get the chance to order, be flexible! 1/3 of the items you want won't be available anyway. 3. You want fresh, crisp French fries? Tsk, tsk, tsk, silly man! You'll have to go to McDonald's for that! And don't you dare expect them to be hot. Now that I think about it, I wonder if they were actually even cooked at one point. Cold, limp and lifeless. It's as if they were forced to watch the movie Showgirls. 4. Apparently, the staff doesn't know the difference between regular and diet coke (wait-there's a difference??). Whenever I order a diet coke, I always ask the person at the window "so this is diet coke, right???" "Oh. You want a *diet* coke?" "Well, that's what I ordered but you're right-it's actually secret code for grape juice served in a construction boot." One person offered me Dr. Pepper as a substitute because, well, Dr. Pepper is about a similar to Diet Coke as an Ipswich Clam is to a tack hammer. Oh and I stopped trying to order Sprite Zero as 4 out of 5 employees believe that it is not available and will gladly argue with you about it. 5. When the chicken nuggets have been thoroughly overcooked and then dried out under the warming light, don't throw them away! How wasteful. Instead, cook them longer in the microwave to remove any evidence of moisture and freshness. Throw them in the refrigerator before serving however as, keeping with the quality of the fries, we wouldn't want them to be warm. They never have regular nuggets. Ever (they are somewhat mythical, like the Sprite Zero). Regardless of what you order, you will receive spicy nuggets. Oh, and apparently quantities are just an approximation. Order a 10-piece and you will get anywhere from 7 to 14 nuggets. It's like when your stoner roommate loses the bet and has to go pick up the food. 6. Nice thing about this place is consistency. They don't discriminate against any menu items, making sure that any meat product is thoroughly dried out before serving (don't want to go making the chicken nuggets jealous). In summary, if you want to spend a lot of money for a fast food experience that will provide as much joy, excitement and satisfaction as that which comes from gargling windshield glass, step to the front of the drive thru. But don't be surprised if they can't actually take your order. read more

This is by far the worst Wendy's I have ever been to. There is nothing good it is bad all around not going to waste time to point everything out it is ALL bad. My advice never go. read more

I don't expect good customer service from fast food since I know how tough a job it can me. Wendys was my first job and definitely get the struggles, but yikes. The line here in the drive through was slowwww. When I got up to order, I realized why. No one spoke until I said "hello??" And the girl taking the orders was rude and seemed annoyed throughout the whole process. Instead of asking anything else? She just said that's it? To top of off, I paid for the strawberry lemonade upgrade and got a child size cup. I was too annoyed to even fight it. The manager handed me my food and she wasn't any better. Got no receipt, no have a nice day, just a closed window lol. The worst read more

When I paid for my meal, the person wasn't wearing a mask, so I had to put mine on, even though I was in my cat. They were too close, so I could have caught Covid if they had it. I got my food from the second window and they were wearing a mask only covering their mouth, not their nose. The person behind them wasn't wearing a mask at all. I know Covid is mainly airborne, so few people catch it from touching services. I think my chances of catching Covid from them are low, especially since I was recently vaccinated. However, that whole restaurant looks like Covid Central. read more

There are very few late night/early morning options in Oak Park. There's Dunkin Donuts, McDonald's and Wendy's. Wendy's offers breakfast (which was news to me) and the full menu. The drive through line is usually a few cars plus but the drive though service was a nice option when in a crunch and perfect for a twenty minute drive home or when in need of a quick eat. When I was/am hungry, Wendy's was a viable and convenient option. And for that, I am most appreciative. read more

They don't comprehend the term FRESH. Avoid this location unless you're lit but the workers are ok I guess.

Update 5/9/2017. Bring your own ketchup. Napkins. Spoon. Management here is pathetic. Tables still dirty. Down to 2 stars. Pathetic excuse for a franchise. Original: I have to avoid this place. Kinda gross. Every table was dirty. Drink machines were half out and covered in filth. Carpet, filthy. But employees sure like their breaks. Manager was getting Chinese food delivered at front counter. Food was ok. But Wendy's quality has really gone down over the years. Overall, it's worth the effort to find another place. If the dining room is managed like this I really don't want to know about the kitchen. read more

Is this the worst Wendy's in America? I sure as hell hope so. I've lived a few blocks from this Wendy's for nearly a decade, and I work late hours, so this is my only close-to-home option for dinner on my way home from work. Honestly, the dearth of nearby late-night food options is the only explanation for how this store remains in business, as only the most desparate could electively decide to come here. 20+ minute drive through waits...out of items more than half the time (which one only finds out after waiting in line for 10 minutes to even place an order)...constant mistakes on the rare occassion they weren't out of what you wanted to begin with...glimpses of absolute chaos inside when you finally make it to the payment window....(I once witnessed the immediate aftermath of an employee brawl)...an absolute caricature of horrific operating procedure. Nearly a year ago, I swore I would never return to this Wendy's again, after 1) waiting in line for 30 minutes, 2) arriving at the first window to find out their entire POS system was out and needing to reorder, 3) watching the man in front of me get out of his car and urinate in the parking lot (I didn't blame him...I do blame the 30 minute line), 4) arriving at the second window to be asked what my order was again (because the apparent solution to an inoperable POS wasn't to write paper tickets...but instead to make every customer order three times?), and 5) still ending up with the wrong order. And I stuck to my word! Until I broke down tonight and stopped here on my way home from work in an act of desperation; I could see there was no line, I knew my fridge was empty, and I was seduced. Seduced into getting exactly what I deserved: a cashier with her mask pulled down below her chin, and a salad with half the requisite amount of (the wrong) dressing. I am an idiot, and I got nothing less than I deserved for breaking my own vow...as will anyone else who still goes to this Wendy's having read this review. read more

Is this even a real Wendy's?? Food has consistently tasted terrible, ingredients wrong or missing. Nothing I have ordered here has tasted like a normal, good Wendy's burger, nuggets, chicken sandwich, salad, baked potato, even the chili tasted awful! How? Why? Don't they all follow the same recipes and cooking, microwave instructions/settings, use the same ingredients or premade whatever?? Don't get me started on the lack of customer service-the employees there all mumble with attitude, no smile, no thank yous, no clear words, no nada- which really shows how much they love their jobs. Stay away from this location! read more

The lady who works Night Shifts is so nice!! Kudos to her, her customer service is always on point and super patient with my order, she deserves a raise :-) read more

It would be great if they paid attention to what they were putting in a clients order, because paying attention they are not. Either ending up with missing items or the wrong item. And once I drive away from their window, I am off to somewhere else and cannot return. So basically I'm getting ripped off for my choice of patronizing Wendy's. Especially this location. And by the way, their "new" fries? They suck. Rice flour coating on french fries is so 1990s. Even Burger King doesn't do it anymore. Give it up, Wendy's! read more

I order and get to the window to pay for 2 hamburgers with everything, 2 frosty and 2 fries. $18. The order was two cheese burgers and rest. Manager comes to assist changing the order to what I want and its $12. I get home I have 2 hamburgers with absolutely nothing on them. NOTHING! I attempted to call and get no answer. read more

Came here for lunch and they were out of juice boxes, ketchup and kids toys. The fries tasted stale... I was disappointed. The staff was nice enough but it was not the best lunch. read more

This locations is horrible. The bathroom was filthy. The soap dispenser was dirty, a latex glove in the urinal, the sink was dirty and had cigar tobacco on it. The fountain drink dispenser was out of half the drinks and the staff was arguing and being loud in front of customers. The dining area was also dirty and tables had wipe Mark's on them. The lines in the lobby were long with only one person on the register taking orders. The drive thru line was backed up to the streets. Please retrain or hire new staff members. I will never again return to this location. read more

See all

Service was horrible food cold 2 o'clock in the day no baked potato no chili almost time for dinner Rush the whole restaurant was dirty out of soda understaffedI have been coming here back in four different times within three years. Always have excuse why they don't have something this will be my last time coming here I see you keep having the same reviews and have done nothing about this situation that is the reason why I'm not coming back !!!! read more

For the last few YEARS I have tried to order a Frosty on my way home from work at various times from 7-10pm. EVERY TIME I'm told the machine isn't working. I call BS, the evening crew doesn't want to clean the machine at the end of the evening. Maybe corporate needs to stop by unannounced. read more

I am not sure why the employees here don't care about their customers. Its all a game and they are having a good time. Yesterday i went through the drive through around 9:40pm and placed my order. Saw that the lady taking my order put the order wrong. Drove up to the window where people pay. The lady at the window ignored me. I waited a couple minutes she was chatting with someone else... finally when i got tired of her not taking my payment i drove up to the second window. Aldo being ignored ... saw several employees inside laughing, dancing , sitting on the counter tops?? I promised you the amount of time i waited for my food was pretty clear due to the employees not caring about serving me my food in a timely manner. Where is the night manager shift?? Why do other wendys provide my food very quickly and yours 10 mins when i am the only one in the drive lane? Employees with their mask not being properly worn handleling My food, not caring about my long wait. No thank you at the window , no eye contact. Never again Wendys!! read more

Pretty terrible. Yes, it's a fast food joint, but...oh wait. It's not a FAST food joint. It's just a food joint. Aside from the restaurant not being clean and the condiment station being a nightmare (ketchup pump downright scary), ordering was a joke. When it was finally our turn to order, the employee didn't really acknowledge that we were there so we weren't sure if we should start our order or not. Then she said to the far wall, "can I help you?" So we assumed it was our turn to speak. While we were ordering, she kind of spaced out and started looking behind her, which was once again confusing. The good news is that we did finally get our order placed correctly. The bad news is the snail's pace with which it was fulfilled. Now we are late to the show we were headed to. So much for a quick stop! Food was ok, slightly lackluster but fine. read more

This Wendy's customer service is poor. I tried to give them a chance 3x now but the food is always cold and taste as if it been cooked hours ago. The staff and management never seem enthusiastic or care if they get your order right. This location is far the worse I have ever visited from this chain. I highly recommend you do not patronize this franchise with this poor quality of service. read more

Worst Wendy's I've ever been to. I've been here enough times to know it doesn't matter what time you go they always get something wrong or its just not good. It's literally a waste of time and money better off just driving to another Wendy's. read more

trash staff. trash management. trash food. ghetto crew. cold raw food. cold raw chicken. wrong order given. management uncaring.

This is the dirtiest Wendy's I've ever been to. Not only is the food disgusting so are the employees. I've never encountered such rude service in my life. I was rushed in the drive through to take my order, before I could even finish a complete order the drive Thru personnel kept Rudely saying" is that it is that it". When I got my son's food it had a large string of hair in it. I was pissed because I was already on the eway on the way to his game. I called the manger immediately. I took the food back this morning and got a refund. I explained to the manager how rude the employee was yesterday, but she didn't give a damn and was very dismissive. I will be calling corporate !! read more

This Wendy's has it all... inexplicably screwing up orders, no f**ks given attitudes, dismal conditions inside bordering on post-apocalyptic... esentially a supreme example of management failure at every level. You almost have to admire the purity of it. read more

Stay away! This Wendy's is so disgusting! Went today for lunch with my daughter. Flies everywhere, the smell as we walked in was stomach churning (I should've walked right out), and the service was SLOW! Should it really take 15 minutes to get food at a fast food restaurant? I really hope they can improve. I used to really like Wendy's. read more

There is not one single redeeming quality about this Wendy's. Everybody that works here, act like they don't wanna be there, like I get it the job isn't a fit for you but damn all of y'all hate working here?!? The service is so bad and they mess up your order so frequently it's actually impressive how bad they are. I'd really wish they'd hire a better staff cause this is ridiculous this location has been so fucking terrible for so many years I honestly don't know how it remains open. read more

Was told my total would be $10, then I was told $14 at the window. I paid but had to ask for a receipt and was told they "weren't printing". Drive through girl gave out some real attitude when asked so buyer beware. I've never had a drive through line ask me "what order did you have?". read more

The staff here are the rudest people that I have ever met in my life. The drive up people don't answer you they don't respond and then they won't take your order when you get to the window. Every time I have managed to successfully get food from this Wendy's it's put together very very poorly it's messy and I have never had a pleasant experience at this Wendy's I am imploring you to go anywhere else in the neighborhood except the Wendy's on Harlem and Madison. The staff is incompetent at best and the manager is more incompetent. read more

Rude staff and manger tried to charge me for something I did not order and the manager throws a fit about it.

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST FAST FOOD PLACE EVER I went In for a simple $5 biggie bag and ordering was fast but as soon as we went to pay they said they scanner wasn't working for point in the first window and told us to go to the second window as soon as we where about to pull forward told us that the other one wasn't working as well told to speak to the manager just to see if anything was possible for the app and she came in in a really bad mood started talking aggressive said loudly OUR SCANNERS ARE WORKING we said is there anything possible for this problem she said LIKE I SAID AGAIN OUR SCANNERS ARENT WORKING so we asked for her name in a paper or something and she rudely shut the window hard after a bit of waiting an employee came to the window and said oh our scanner isn't working we said we already knew only needed the managers name and the told us that they didn't have anything to write with not even a pen like who doesn't have a pen so then we asked for paper so we could write it and he said we can't give you paper at all so we decided to pay for the receipt to write her name down and same employee came and said oh our receipt machine isn't working a min goes by and we noticed that the machine just printed out a paper right in front of us we told him oh that just printed a receipt he said oh it's not working we then told them ok we want the money back he went and got the refund we asked how are we supposed to know if we got the money back or anything and deadass goes back gets a paper and a pen AFTER SAID THAT THEY COULDNT DO THAT and said here and wrote on the paper with the pen and just gave it to us all it had was 5$ biggie bag $5.50 And told us to have a good day like what kind of customer service is that worst place to go don't recommend this place especially the manager was really rude and one of the employees was rude too HORRIBLE read more

Ghetto, piece of crap location with lazy, dumb employees. Been here recently and they've either been "out of salad" or didn't know salads can have chicken. Slow drive thru with employees who are rude and don't want to be there. Awful service. Never coming here again. read more

If negative stars could be given, this location would receive negative 1 million stars. I've lived in the area for quite a few years, and this location is a late night option. And in that time, the level of cleanliness of the dining area (I can't imagine what it is behind the counter ) and customer service (from the "managers" and "staff") are both equally HORRENDOUS. I've witnessed employees speaking ill towards customers on many occasions, then closing the dining rooms before 9pm several times, and all without a care in the world. Tonight, as I entered the dining room before 9pm, and as per usual no one greets you, with 5-6 people behind the counter, mind you not doing anything. They looked at me like I head 5 heads and kept at doing nothing. After 5mins of me waiting for someone to say hello, anything, a member of their "staff" stated they're not taking any orders. It would have been courteous to say, "Thanks for waiting...Unfortunately at this time...". When I responded with what would be warranted after being ignored for 5mins, the staff member responded: "Oh well". I'm sure this Wendy's location is violating state and company regulations in regards to cleanliness and operations. read more

I went thru drive thru to hear someone come on speaker saying we're not taking any orders , we're short on staff. You can count on problems at this ghetto location every time, dirty and all. read more

Ordered via app for drive-thru and was told to go inside. Took 15 minutes to get food ordered via app--worried they forgot about me. Management was indifferent. My food was dropped on the floor before handed to me. read more

I love Wendy's but this location makes a point of messing up my order EVERY single time. I'm not exaggerating. I love their caesar side salads and have tried ordering them in different ways ("caesar side salad," "side salad with CAESAR dressing") and they always give me ranch, and sometimes the wrong type of salad. I don't think that the staff know what a caesar salad is. Or they just don't care. Either way, it's really irritating. Make sure to check your order before you leave. read more

I keep trying to give this Wendy's a chance but I can't anymore!! It is always a bad experience. I ordered online went inside and was ignored for 10min I even asked for help and they just looked at me and still ignored me! After they finally came up I didn't get a sorry for the wait just asked me what I wanted in a rude tone. They then told me they didn't have my order in the system and I showed her the order on my phone and her response was "well I don't have it". Well I already paid for it and have waited 15min on something that was placed 25min ago. They eventually found it and I proceeded to wait and finally got my food. Too bad they didn't have my drink and the fries were not good! I like Wendy's but I hate this location- Get new management and treat your customers with more respect! read more

I will not be returning. Multiple workers not wearing masks. Workers had the masks around their next but not covering their nose and mouth.
