First of all I want to thank all of you for the helpful responses on my previous post a few weeks ago.

I got a lot of mixed reviews and was rightfully told that in spite of everyone else’s opinions I should just wait to try it myself.

So the Mrs and I ordered the following:

Baconator burger
Bacon loaded fries
Dave’s burger
Jacket potato with cheese
Spicy nuggets
And a chocolate frosty

I have to say as far as fast food places go, my favourite up to now has been Burger King. I am not a fan of KFC and I think BK’s burgers are better than McDonald’s. However after trying Wendy’s I have to say it’s my new favourite. The bacon really swung it for me as the BK bacon is floppy and soggy where the Wendy’s bacon is crispy and nice. Along with the burger meat tasting like a higher quality of meat, it definitely slides in at number 1 for me.

  3. Great review, I love Wendy’s too. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the old logo and yellow cups and french fry containers.

  4. The same people that were giving this guy shit for wanting to try Wendy’s are now the same ones that are giving him shit AGAIN for posting his results.

    I swear some of y’all can suck the fun out of a room faster than downing a Frostie

    Kudos to you, OP, for enjoying some delicious fast food. And oh yeah…Keep Pounding those burgers and fries.

  7. The UK is getting chick-fila in 2025 so maybe youll get to try it. If they opened a cookout anywhere near London it would be the busiest spot in the city at all times of night.

  8. In the 39days since the original post, the Wendy’s closest to my house closed down. Officially. Your food offering looks edible. Glad you had a good experience.

  9. I lean heavily carnivore (not entirely) with my diet. My go-to place for a quick couple of slabs of decent quality ground beef is Wendy’s. Their burger patties are (according to advertising) “fresh, never frozen.”

  10. Idk about your regions, but Wendy’s has been phoning it in out here. It’s hardly even an option anymore, missed its prime by about 15 years

  11. Since this is a Panthers sub I have to ask, have you tried Bojangles, Char grill, or Cookout?

  13. This is the correct opinion – Wendy’s is a good bit better than the rest of those places. Baconator is elite. Always fresh, never frozen!

  15. My issues were never with Wendy’s food it’s Wendy’s workers and the severely dirty establishments. I’ve been in some disgusting Wendy’s

  16. If you get there chance, next time get the regular nuggets and the ghost pepper ranch on the side. Spicy nugs are a novelty and always very dry. Regular nugs are a game changer and with ghost pepper ranch it’s even better.

  17. I am not sure how a panthers/wendys themed post showed up for me. But I also would like to add Wendy’s is fantastic.

  19. If you’re partial to chicken their spicy chicken sandwich is excellent for fast food.

    Some people here swear by dipping fries in a Frosty but it’s not my jam.

    And whenever you visit, yes, CookOut is a must.

  20. Love the Baconator, love the frostys,…next time you get Wendy’s, dip the fries IN the frosty. Sounds weird, but it’s great lol

  24. Okay, now that I read the original post, OP, I have a suggestion. Head to Wendy’s in your best Panthers gear and tell the cashier you want a “Carolina Classic”. They won’t have it, but if they can make it, you are as close as you can get to actually being in North Carolina. A very select few Wendy’s in NC make it, and it’s what we North Carolinians often refer to as “all the way”. It’s a burger with mustard, slaw (shredded cabbage with sauce), chili, and onions. IF they can make this happen, congratulations, and enjoy! If not, make sure you order one when you cross the pond for a home game 😉

  25. Have you tried five guys yet? A budget buster but it’ll send you to heaven

    Tip: order the small fry and get it Cajun. The small fry’s are massive

  32. Hey man. Hope you and the Mrs. have fun while your here. Sorry bout the weather. A few things. Chik-fila classic or spicy chicken sand w waffle fries and a frosted lemonade. No pimento. That gets chicken out of the way. For FAST FOOD burgers I believe Wendy’s to have higher quality beef and fresher ingredients across the board. I can’t even eat McDonalds burgers anymore but their fries still smack if freshly made. BK’s are usually a hot mess around here. Hardee’s for breakfast works to. Cook-Out gets an honorable mention for their double cheeseburger combo with a corn dog and milkshake. If you go to Cook-Out make sure you try some Cheerwine. It’s a soda that tastes a little like Dr. Pepper and is made here in NC. Cook-Out also has self serve Cheerwine on tap and the small ice cubes make it sing. Worth a trip for that precious liquid alone Friendo. Good luck and please post an update. The quality of food and service you receive can vary exponentially between fast food restaurants here even only a few miles away from each other. If the place you walk into is dirty and looks like a shit-show, order a soda, leave and repeat down the road. Harriet’s Hamburgers if you wanna splurge on a 12$ burger. Thanks for visiting

  37. I love Wendy’s! I just destroyed a Dave’s double today after a round of golf, it was delicious.
