| - I like Wendy's. Of all the fast food joints Wendy's is one of my choices just because, in my opinion, their burgers taste much better. I've seen my fair share of good Wendys', bad Wendys' and Wendys' where crass cashiers with too much make up and hoola hoop for earrings are allowed to engage in crass, insulting and demeaning arguments with their customer and are then protected by their managers.
This Wendy's is dead smack in the middle with maybe a few fractions of a degree tilting towards good. Not because they are actually good but because in the fast food industry if you don't majorly suck, you're leaning towards good.
I actually went through the drive through and we were helped with a very nice "Thank you for choosing Wendy's, 'can' I take your order" which already beats 99% of other similar establishments and their usual, "Take y'order" greeting. We pulled around, paid and politely were told to pull ahead as one of our items was being "put together". Fair enough.
We waited no more than a couple of minutes and our food came right out to our window. Overall a good, fast and accurate experience.
Then I realized why Wendy's is known as a BURGER JOINT.
I ordered a Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap. The wrapper, for whatever reason was soaked in, what I hoped, was water but fortunately the wrap itself was dry. Not a bad taste except for the actual Caesar dressing which was too strong and salty for my taste. And I love salty food!
I also ordered the half Berry Almond Chicken Salad which was a nice portion (I couldn't finish it). It was as decent as any pre-packaged salad with Raspberry syrup disguised as salad dressing can be. The chicken was a little too spiced for me... not spicy, but whatever spices they used for the chicken it just had too much. The entire thing was very bland but exceptionally the blueberries. The salad also had some flat, white, tasteless strips of what I thought was Provolone cheese but turned out to be Asiago. It really didn't add much to the salad. I couldn't detect the almond flavor even though I felt the crunch of the almonds as I chewed. The strawberries on the other hand were nice, big, plump and nicely sweet.
At $4.50 thought? I think I overpaid a buck fiddy...
From now on, I'm sticking to burger though.
