Not sure why I keep ordering from Wendy's. Last three orders messed up. Missing or wrong items. The latest was a mobile order, paid for it and when I get there they tell me no chocolate frostys. Only can get vanilla. so I have a choice of taking the vanilla, or having to contact corporate to get a tefumd, which they won't do btw, and will only give you a "coupon" that can be used toward another purchase, which they will mess up of course. The manager does not even offer an apology. The time before this, I waited in the lobby for 20 minutes for my food, as they were busy. Then I discovered they never even started my order. I was told it would be another 20-30 minutes. I asked for a refund and the manager said they don't do that, I could either wait for my food or leave with nothing. Bad, bad service. read more

Food always fresh & good. Staff also always pleasant & courteous. Best Wendy's near me. read more

Is this place better yet? I go to the McDonald's or POP's on 127th if I want anything similar to Wendy's. The staff on Harlem has been absolutely TERRRRRRIBLE This is the first and maybe only review I'll ever write because hopefully something is done about the staff there... Otherwise many people I know along with myself will not be wasting our money there. From shutting the ice cream machine off an hour and a half before closing time to cold fries and burgers... I haven't had a single pleasant encounter in the drive-thru in about 10 visits there. Based on the reviews I'll never trust corporate and order online. Only reason I gave this place so many chances is because they're the only one close to my house. I've lost hope and haven't been there in well over 6 months. I'd go there tonight... but I'm writing this review and going to Chipotle instead. Last time I went to the Chipotle location on 111th/Cicero everything was great. They'll be getting my money until the Wendy's on 127/harlem sharpens up. It's a shame cuz I'd kill for a double baconator with loaded fries and a lg choc. frosty right now. Wendy's will cave before I do. Or they won't get my money. Simple as that. The 0 replies that Wendy's team has left to the negative reviews on here suggests this location most likely needs a new owner.... ...Either way I'm not wasting anymore time on this place until I see the reviews get consistently better read more

No iced tea at three different Wendy's. I am unhappy that there is no more choice of either unsweetened or sweet ice tea.

An employee named Kiera locked up 15 minutes early. We tried to come in and got forcibly removed- some could say disrespected as she shoed us away. She physically touched one of my friends and had a terrible at attitude. I will never be coming here again. read more

Would like to leave zero stars bec that's what they deserve but it isn't possible. Went there Sunday morning during hours when they were supposed to be open Doors were locked and no one visible through windows Restaurant dark. Waited around for about 15-20 minutes and still no one came to open restaurant. It is no wonder reviews are so poor. If they have closed permanently, a sign should have been posted. read more

Disappointed. It's like, what it's happening with this place. One of the best locations in my experience, but then today, a second time going trough the same. The food was not cooked to order. In fact it tasted like the two double burgers we ordered had been sitting done for a while and then sold to us. No tomatoes in the burgers. The ketchup barely there, same with the mustard. And then ended up having to add salt as the meat was tasteless. Before this, couple weeks ago, a similar experience with a chicken sandwich but much worse. The chicken was over cooked and totally dry and then cold. We also asked for a triple burger with no pickle or onions. Both left in. Not a big deal, but I'm sure you can do better. Service was both times on the drive through so not bad speed wise, but the food? What it's going on? Short staffed?? A manager/ owner not paying attention? Not going back, at least for a long while. It's a shame because they were really good. Always fresh. Not anymore it seems. Other options near are better and then consistent read more

Barely warm fries. No "thank you" - just attitude in the drive thru. Paid by credit card - no transaction has been posted on my account, and I received NO receipt! Are they scamming/skimming??? I can't send a complaint without the restaurant number, because it is only on the receipt, which I did not receive!!! read more

Ordering online is a joke at this location..pull up to the drive thru window and they tell you to wait near the door or in parking lot for your food while they service other customers behind you and prepare there food first(they are on a timer so they can cheat there time on online orders do they look good).by the time you get your food 20 minutes later it is wrong/out of sauces ie bbq sauce )then when you bring it back to be made right ..you get the best customer service attitude ever..they give you an attitude ..well done palos heights Wendy's ..(other Wendy's do not have this attitude)..I do have a suggestion to owner just close down this establishment if you are not interested in catering/caring about customers read more

There's bugs going around. And the precautions needed to be taken aren't being taken by this place! I just got some food there on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. When I ate it, later that night I threw it all up. I had to go to the hospital it was that bad. The doctors told me it's a bug that gets picked up from surfaces and transferred into food when your hands aren't washed. THEY GAVE ME THIS BUG AND I COULDNT EVEN EAT THANKSGIVING FOOD THIS YEAR!!! IF YOU EAT HERE PROCEED WITH CAUTION. read more

The absolute worst Wendys ever. Still understaffed in June 2023. Cannot handle more than 2 cars in their drive thru. Wait times are ridiculous. read more

Several years ago, this Wendy's ranked as one of my favorites. Over the past year or so, this one has gone downhill, hard. Indoor dining has been closed for a while in the last year or so (I understand the challenges of hiring after post C-19). Have to go through drive through on my recent visits which has been slow, typically about 10-15 minutes. On 9/21 at ~5 PM, waited 19 minutes just to get to the ordering station. I asked the order taker how long would it take to place an order for 2 combo meals. He says "pull up" to the window. I asked if he can answer my question so that I can order and not lose my place in line with others behind me. He says more directly "PULL UP!" I thought doing that would have meant adding more delay and having to order at the payment window. SO i left and went to McDonald's a block away where my drive through order was completed in ~6 minutes. I called the Wendy's where I asked for the manager (same rude guy that I encountered answered with no customer service manners). Eventually spoke to the manager to report my experience. She told me that they were in "transition" and was not interested in my feedback if I would not come back to place the order. She said thanks for stopping by their store and hung up on me. I'm never coming back to this Wendy's again! read more

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! You can be the only one in the drive through, and they will still ask you to pull up to the door and wait an additional 10 minutes. read more

Well, I was reluctant to come to try this location, due to my past experiences as well as the bad reviews, but they had a BOGO going on and it had been awhile so fingers crossed. Got screwed AGAIN!!! Ordered 2 singles NO CHEESE. 2 chicken sands and 2 med frostys. Bag was pretty full and left confident in my purchase. Get home and I got 1 cold single WITH CHEESE. (no receipt) yes I should have requested it ‍ So they got me for $5. All I can suggest is check your bag and GET A RECEIPT !!!!! read more

I will give credit where credit is due! I went to this Wendy's at 10pm, on a Saturday evening, the night before Easter. Was greeted by the most pleasant young man, DeShawn via the drive thru. I am not saying I expected bad service by any means, but I certainly was not anticipating this quality, authentic, positive upbeat voice came thru that speaker- especially on a SATURDAY AT 10PM BEFORE EASTER. I was impressed by his positive attitude. Like- super impressed. He honestly made my evening. I don't think most people understand how far kindness goes. I think this young man has a great future ahead of him. That kind of attitude takes you places in life. I appreciate him and am thankful to have had the pleasure to meet him. Wendys seems to have a great system for their hiring process, the employees do always seem very nice- but DeShawn was a breath of fresh air. read more

Idrc if they remember me because of what I ordered but it was so simple I ordered a single baconator (with no mayo) and fries with a drink as well, I get home and I get a whole different burger with lettuce tomato onions and other condiments so I respectfully drove back to get my order right and asked if I can swap out my burger for the one I originally ordered and ofc this is an hour before closing time so ofc they would rush the order through without checking to see if the order is right to begin with so I get back home to check to see if the order is right again they got the burger right... but they take away my fries I ordered with it $13.61 btw and I didn't even get to eat half of my meal. read more

I ordered ONE SINGLE BACONATOR "NO KETCHUP". And what did I get when I rolled up to the drive through window someone trying to charge me for 4 baconators and the one baconator I got had ketchup on it. Never coming back you guys SUCK! I mean what if I was allergic to tomatoes...... read more

Wendy's - a piece of bacon wrapped in foil - Fast Food Near Me - Palos Heights, Illinois

Rude ass customer service. Literally screamed at me and the homies through the drive through. Literally cancelled. Do not come here, there def going to spit in our food. Service again is dooky. I see why they got a 1.5 star review . Negative ambiance in the drive through. The place was ass literal shitttt read more

Avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid and just in case I wasn't clear avoid this location. After my last two visits here, I will never go back here any more. And the most aggravating part is that I took their stupid survey questions and wanted to talk to someone in charge, still waiting. From getting cheated on a mistake refund, cold stale fries, and a salad that was not prepared correctly; I'm done. Throw in some incompetent employees and you have the making of a future smoke shop. read more

Maybe the worst Wendys in the USA. It doesn't matter who or when, the employees DGAF! They stay high and will let customers sit in DT for hours w/o caring. STAY AWAY!! read more

Were in line for half a hour charged for baked potato that they were out of and not told. They substituted a baconator fries when we went to the speaker and were told to go to the door my mother who is in her 70's and has mobility issues was at the door for another 10 minutes trying to get there attention and finally had to leave because she got so mad she thought she was going to break the door. Got home and my sisters burger was still raw inside why can't we give zero stars that is what they deserve. read more

absolutely amazing food is so good I ordered a grilled chicken wrap, made conversation with the workers and they were so nice definitely recommend, the music they play is awesome, and the ambiance of the place is just the best. also very clean read more

Wendy's - delicious burger The manager ensured that there was attention to the customer - Fast Food Near Me - Palos Heights, Illinois

Recently took advantage of their breakfast dollar sandwich promotion. The eggs were under cooked and runny which made the sandwich less than good. I ordered take out and took them home to firm up the egg portion in the microwave. Despite the problem they were still a great deal at $1.00. I suspect that they are not designed to be defective sandwiches. This Wendy's has a predominately Black staff which as we all no promotes inattentive sloppy performance. Instead of a just right performance many Blacks have a just enough not to get fired attitude. read more

Worst Wendy's I've ever eaten. I swear to God they poison me . I had the five dollar bag. That's no problem with the chicken nuggets . french fries were cold . The sandwich is what made me pop my cork . Two minutes after . The dirty look I got from the manager . never again ! they are dope dealing terrorist gang working here poisoning at their whim. They made me violently ill. read more

Every time I come here, I am highly disappointed. Today I ordered a natural lemonade, burger, nuggets and fries... the lemonade tastes like it's been sitting for days. The fries taste old and reheated. They're always out of something. Today it was barbecue sauce. read more

The awesome employees went out of their way to accommodate my Autistic son's request. They were so nice and happy to help. I will never forget their kindness. Thanks again, guys!! read more

This location is getting very bad. Just went through the drive thru and it took almost twenty minutes Dropped my sons dinner off and the Baconater Fries were only half full and there was an order of fries missing. Tried to call and no one answered the phone. I try to support businesses in my town but literally every time we go here there is a problem! Avoiding this place from now on. read more

Referring to todays visit only, about 35 minutes in line. Went home, missing 3 items. Tried calling, they never answered their phone. Returned to store. Difficulty even talking to someone, because only drive thru open. Had to argue with manager to get the 3 items we were missing. Absolutely not worth it. read more

This Wendy's is awful. I've come here multiple times and they never have chili, frosty machine is always down, and have gotten order wrong so many times. Just awful. Do better. read more

Pop machines were almost all empty. They literally gave us 3 packets of ketchup for 2 large fries and nuggets. And this is when we waited 5 minutes to be greeted and there was no one in here. This location is going down hill fast. read more

This is Jennifer S and updating my 7/21/2020 - so Rebecca general manager reaches out and offers $34 giftcard or credit. I ask for the giftcard - reached out to her three times and still no giftcard and 4 months have passed. AVOID THIS PLACE - WANT TO GIVE ZERO STARS read more

Be aware: Here is my unpleasant and humiliating experience ordering via mobile app. On Nov. 25, I went in the evening to Wendys located on 127th/Harlem in Palos Heights, IL to pick up my first order placed via Wendys application that I just downloaded and created my new account. I chose my burger and fries, completed order process via the app, paid using my credit card and followed the instructions to pick up my order from the "drive through" window. Upon reaching the window I explained that I placed my order via app, I paid for it, and that I would like to pick it up. I showed my order info by showing it on my phone. The lady called "Petty" or "Patti" was rude and shouted that they don't have mobile ordering system. When I asked to verify the location address she refused to confirm and begin to shout even more, humiliating me by saying that she won't give me free food ( like I tried to steal it). She continued in a very inappropriate manner so I asked for her name. She answered "Petty". She continued being rude, I just left, drove to the closest parking spot and called Wendys Customer Support as provided in the app: (888) 624-8140. She wasn't able to help, except the promise to notify the management and to reimburse for the order. I'm currently waiting to see how the management will handle this issue. Happy Thanksgiving weekend from Wendys... read more

Don't usually eat at Wendy's. Needed something quick and it was on the way. Ordered Baconator Fries. They were cold, dry and old. Threw them out. It was only 11:30 am, wonder how long they sat there. read more

For a few years after this place first opened, it was a great place to eat clean facility, friendly staff and fresh food. Not anymore. The last few years it's been all down hill. I gave hem many chances to improve and filled out many surveys pointing out deficiencies, to no avail. Today was the last time. Dined in. The smell of the place was off. Soda machine out of order, a bathroom out of order, condiment stand was neglected and every surface felt sticky. Even the cashier was picking at her finger nails while taking orders. Outside was trashed and food stains everywhere. No one seems to care, so I'm no longer wasting my money there and you shouldn't either. Can't wait for the "Under New Management" sign to go up. read more

Beautiful, new, clean, bright Wendy's. However I had a not so pleasant customer service experience. I tried ordering a 15$ gift card, and the cashier rang it up at 50$. I corrected the cashier, who made it seem like it was my fault, and continued to repeat that it sounded like I said 50$. Someone needs to teach her that "the customer is always right." The manager however recovered and was very friendly. read more

They didn't even ask me what fucking flavor frosty I wanted smh, and there service was complete ass, there was sprite on the floor and everything. read more
