food was good. Service was good. Just had to wait a little longer than usual for the food, but not the biggest deal in the world.

Workers are rude, especially the guy taking the orders at the drive thru. No wonder they have a bad reputation

Service was horrible they messed up my order the girl at the window had a very bad and unprofessional attitude. The manager came to the window was not helpful at all and the girl hep threw her hands up in the air background and was very unprofessional. manager was very unprofessional as well I am not very happy with this experience you need to do better. I am not giving any stars because it was the bad. read more

Took them 10 minutes to give me my drink after I got all my food, staff kept ignoring me, also didn't get the fries that we ordered overall terrible experience read more

I went to Wendy's in Spanaway. I was in drive thru there was a few cars ahead of me, which it was like 5:30pm. I waited in the drive thru and the person running the drive thru took 3 orders from side of drive thru totally ignoring the side I was on. I waited for about 5 minutes while Merinda waited on 3 cars from the other lane. She finally came on asking if I had been helped. I told her NO, probably not my finest moment. I kind of snapped at her when I finally got to the windows, again not my finest moment. But the more I thought about the service, I realized that she was really trying to do her job (the only 1 working drive thru) and it was dinner time. I feel bad for acting the way I did. I want to apologize to Merinda for my actions. I hope she has a ver Merry Christmas! We will still be going there. They have amazing spicy chicken sandwich. Thank you for trying to do your job. Again I am so sorry. read more

Watch out! If your order has been taken by Patricia, watch out. I hate calling out anyone specific, but after having to contact the store on several different occasions only after having order issues with the host named on the recipe as Patricia, something has to be said. Usually I get something different than I ordered. And the order is usually hard to get in in the first place because she will talk over me as I'm trying to order, although this has become less of an issue in the past two months. There have been occasions where I didn't get the sandwich/burger that was part of the meal deal I ordered, usually I don't get the sauce I order. Today was a new level. I ordered a large biggy bag w/honey mustard and a dr pepper. Was told it would be $8.06. I get back to work, and find I have two sandwiches I didn't order, no sauce, no fries, and was charged $12.43. Apparently I need to hold her hand through the entire process. I have had so many bad experiences with just this one server, that I do not believe she should be working a high pace, high stress position of the drive through window. I really hope she can do better, but I also keep being let down. For you as a customer of this location, just watch out, and double check everything thing, BEFORE you leave the window. I would go to another Wendy's location if one was available. Order number 3213 read more

Horrible customer service, asked for the bathroom code before ordering and staff wouldn't allow that.

The one good thing about this place is I can catch up on all 100 of my Instagram stories while sitting in the drive through. They are SLOOOOOOW and consistently so. Literally 20-30 minute wait, not even wrapped around the restaurant! There's one person in front of you at the order window and this happens. How is this okay? How does this qualify for "fast food"? I just don't get it - many times one lane is closed with they still can't get it together. Do they need to hire more people? Do they need better management? Do they need a cleaner system? Why does Taco Bell and McDonalds and ____ have normal drive through times around here and not WENDYS WHICH IS THE ONLY PLACE TO GET A GOOD SALAD GRRRRRR read more

I could only give them a 1 star, otherwise I would give them less. One of the WORST fast food restaurants I have ever had the unfortunate choice of visiting. The employee Leroy is one of the WORST employees I have ever had to deal with. First, I understand under Covid that everyone is short staffed, and dealing with the pressures of the economy. However, when you run out of BACON, and get UPSET because someone orders a sandwich with BACON...there is a problem. Instead of handling the problem with managerial skills, LEROY yelled at customers because his establishment ran out of the necessary ingredients to make meals that they offered. He refused to remedy the situation, refusing to refund or cancel orders. He honestly yelled at customers and complained that his GM didn't order bacon. I am flummoxed and flabbergasted by the rude, obnoxious, and inappropriate behavior of the employee Leroy who proceeded to yell and get IRATE with customers who purchased food from his establishment. read more

Wendy's - Cheddar Bacon (w/o bacon) - Fast Food Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Was not giving out receipts and didn't say anything while ordering!!! Waited until you paid for food!

So I go to the drive through and order 2 chicken classics, 2 sour cream and chive potatoes & a medium Frosty. Two cars ahead of me and each car took ten minutes. So by the time I received my food it was 30 minutes. I asked the guy if the butter, sour cream and chives were in the bag? Yes sir it is for sure! Totally lied! Only the basic food and 2 spoons were in the bag! So they were slow and one of them told lies. read more

I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and they gave me a regular one, and took a very long time to give it to me, and forgot to get my friend his frosty, we had to remind them read more

If I could give 0 I would. Placed an order in drive through for a potato, 2 spicy nuggets, a nugget meal and a burger meal with fries. My nuggets rang up on the screen 2.19 when on the menu board they are 2.09. When I asked them about it at they window they looked at me like so what... the cashier went and got the manager and he was like ???? What's the problem. As I explain the price is wrong he tells me the menu board is wrong. Is it though??? Since when don't you honor the price shown on the menu mistake or not. Granted it was only .20 but it doesn't matter. read more

I am absolutely sick to my stomach. I went to Wendy's after work to grab some dinner, came home and started eating my salad and saw something literally crawling around!! I took it out and it was a bug. Put it in a plastic bag and went down there to raise hell and the manager acted like he was stupid and just gave me a number to call on the back of a receipt with a refund. No apologies, no nothing. Don't go to this disgusting place. read more

Wendy's - a piece of lettuce on a cutting board - Fast Food Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Apparently cash is not excepted here after 10 pm. Well anything larger than a $20. I'm on the road for work and carry cash cuz believe it or not there are places that do not except cards. I'm not going to carry $3-4k in $20 on me. Second thing is currency control and the loss of hard currency is a scary and real frightful issue as we started experiencing during the scam Demic. I mean pandemic. Do not support business that in any way manipulate our hard currency. read more

This location sucks. It must be managed horribly. My food always turns out absolutely horrible. No one cares what they do here. It also takes forever to get food or order. I avoid it at all cost. read more

Don't put in a big order when it's busy because they will make EVERY other order before yours and quote you 5 minutes when it's gonna be 15-20 read more

Went to order lunch from here. They were out of the first three items I tried to order. The fourth item they had to check. Thankfully, they had that. read more

I been coming here for a min now and everytime I come here I always ask for more sauce sometimes they don't give me sauce and sometimes they just give me one sauce for a whole combo like bruh be so for real you don't own the whole franchise you won't loose money if you just give me like three more sauces come on now and for the employees that are lazy like bro it's that that much to do all you have to do is grab throw into the bag like read more

There is always a long wait at this Wendy's they are soooo slow. The two lanes are always out of order. Needs new management asap

Just had a double cheeseburger from here tonight. Absolutely disgusting, it tastes like they had the patties soaking in water after they cooked them. Should have went to McDonald's read more

Took half an hour to order, exceptionally disorganized. Staff is milling about without direction. read more

Slow, slooooowwww, SLOW. This location has been slow since they opened, and their employees seem lost. Orders are consistently missing or wrong. Mobile orders take even longer. Expect a 20-40 min drive through wait on any given evening. read more

Earlier this month I decided to grab a sandwich and a bowl of chili Went through drive up. When I ordered the chili I was asked if I wanted cheese and onions I opted for onions. I expected chopped onions like I had gotten in the past. Boy was I surprised when I got back to work and started eating. See photos I called to complain and was told tO come back which I couldn't do as my boss was leaving. I won't eat here again. read more

See all

I'm not usually this harsh, but this Wendy's shouldn't exist. It needs to be shut down until it can figure out how to run a business. What is the point of a mobile order if you have to wait in the drive through line no matter what? Open the lobby for pickups? read more

Horribly slow service. 20+ minutes in the drive through. Food was cold and cheese wasn't melted on either sandwich. Do not recommend

Do not waste your time at this location. My large fries were half full, the line took twelve minutes to get through and customer service left a lot to be desired. I was handed my food and the woman quickly walked away without completing my order. After making eye contact with several employees and moments passed, the same woman asked me if I was missing something. Immediately handed me my beverage and the same employees that made eye contact had the audacity to laugh and ask under their breath why I wouldn't say anything. Look, no one wants to flip burgers on a hot day but the least you could do is be courteous. I was obviously sitting there for a reason. Easier to spread crap than joy for some people, I guess. Get your burgers elsewhere, folks. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could! Rude manager yelling at employees for trying to compensate customers for their lack of food. Went there tonight and they were out of fries. The incompetent manager was so frustrated and angry she couldn't even have a civilized conversation with me when I asked simple questions. This establishment is so unprofessional. I ADVISE EVERYONE TO PASS THIS PLACE UP AND GO STRAIGHT TO McDonalds! read more

If I could give zero stars I would, judging by the numbers it's a wonder how anyone would come here. Closed for lunch! If you can't be consistent, then close this location!!! read more

I remember the day when employees thanked me for stopping by when they gave me my food. ie "Thanks for stopping by, have a nice day" Not this place. Yesterday he reached out the window with my bag of food and said "HERE" that's it, just one word and went back to taking the next order. My order is almost always messed up here. Last week I ordered 2 baconators and got home and found 2 Dave's Doubles in my bag. There are lots of Vagrents in the Safeway parking lot the butts up against Wendy's. Once I saw a female employee get out of a car full of tweakers and head into the store to finish her shift So that's another issue if you don't use the drive through. 2 thumbs down for this place. I have extensive food service management experience. I would love to kick this place into gear because most problems boil down to lack of a good manager. read more

This place needs to understand customer service treating people as rude as I was treated I pull up behind another car we sat more then 4 min another car pulls up on the other lane they ask him right away he pulls up I backed out to go to the other side the other lady went up to window to place her order window I'm sitting saying hello hello lady come up on speaker ill be with you in a minute I said I waited over at the other side she said"you have only waited 25 seconds I told her not to be and ass and left I'll never understand people working after the last two years we all been thru but they think they can treat others so rude!!! I was in customer service for 15 years waitress we all need to come together and do you want these people representing your establishment??? read more

I want to give these employee props. When it's busy here they go as far as they can with excellent accuracy and customer service. I was here a busy night tonight, and the line was taking turns like normal. A DoorDash driver cut me off so I honked and said what the heck dude? He said he worked for DoorDash (mistake, already reported) and started cussing at me. I was on the phone with customer support reporting him. I had a mobile order. For some reason it didn't include the pub fries & they gave it to me without argument. It really helped my night I appreciate the kindness and respect for their customers, thank you guys!! read more

Riddle me this Batman...how do I pay for a a large but basically get a small? I'm confuzzeled. read more

Wendy's - french fries in a paper bag - Fast Food Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

This Wendy's has gotten worse over time. VERY SLOW, great place to go if you have half a day to spare. Orders not correct after waiting half a day so another wait to fix your order. I don't know if under new management or not enough workers? Seems to be both..... super frustrating read more

My husband and I went here on our way to Fantasy Lights. We both ordered burgers and fries. Both of which were cold and tasteless. Tonight my husband decided to try it again. He ordered the 4 for $4 deal. He didn't get his chicken nuggets and the burger was once again cold and tasteless!! Wtf is going on with this new Wendy's ? It's brand new!! It should be great. We will never go there again. And the staff is also cold. They're not friendly at all. I'm sure it won't last long if it continues like this. And I gave it a one star because there's no You Suck option read more

This shows every time they get busy these morons close the second drive-through lane because they aren't able to handle it. All it does is block the parking lot and take much longer for us to get our food. Corporate Wendy's should shut these guys down or fire the manager if they can't train their employees to handle a two lane drive-through like all of the other fast food restaurants that have them. It's completely unacceptable but they do this every day. The amount of money lost in sales to the franchise must be ridiculous. It takes forever to get food at this location. None of the other Wendy's restaurants have the problems that this one does. It's just completely unacceptable that they can't get it together it's been this way since day one when they opened. Half the time the line of cars is so long on the one drive-through that has the parking lot blocked and the road coming in and yet they still keep the second lane on the drive-through shut down every single day whenever it gets busy. The whole point is for traffic control and yet these morons continue to do this. read more

Wendy's - Every day they shut down the second lane when it's busy causing a huge traffic nightmare and slowing Service down - Fast Food Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

They screwed up our order. We were missing food. The employee yelled that I needed to learn to read the menu. Never ever again.

This is the worst Wendy's in all of Tacoma! Honestly, this location is so poorly managed there is a lot that I could say but I will just comment on my recent experiences. Twice now I've attempted to try the breakfast I've seen advertised but they never have staff for breakfast. The first time someone apologized over the intercom, the next time there was no response at all! When you come at any time, you'd better cut out at least 45 minutes to sit in the drive thru line because it is never "fast food". I would never come to this one if it wasn't the only one near my home & my child didn't love the frosty. At first I thought it was just employees with no sense of urgency or desire to work but at this point it is clear that there needs to be an investigation into the management. Get it together Wendy's! read more

food is good, customer service is negative. in my experience they act inconvenienced to take a order, rushed to get through the line. was charged for food I didn't buy becuase she was in a rush and it's my fault so she has attitude. no sorry, nothing just attitude. sorry I wanted to buy food here, what was a thinking silly me right. read more

JAMES IS MY N*G, made CERTAIN my order was BEYOND PERFECT! I only asked for my nugs to be cooked fresh AND THEY COOKED IT ALL FRESH FOR ME!!! so many fast food places just don't bc they think I can't tell but I sure fing can! I can't believe I told them to keep the receipt because I wanted to write a survey about how great he and his customer service is!!! I showed up 15 min before closing and he was still the sweetest! I wish this Wendy's was closer to me because this would be my joint! I really hope the manager reads this! BLESS JAMES!! read more
