| - My first time at Wendy's. I didn't expect too much, but they still managed to disappoint me. I got the cheeseburger with a baked potato with sour cream and chives and the bacon fondue fries, my fiance got chicken burger and also the highly anticipated bacon fondue fries. Best things first: they have one of those fancy soda machines that make my German tourist heart sing (vanilla ginger ale, yes!) and I really enjoyed the burger. Unfortunately, the bacon fondue fries were extremely sparse on the bacon and the fondue cheese sauce was not cheesy, what left us with soggy wet fries. Delicious. But the worst by far was the baked potato. I was sure nobody can mess up something as simple yet delicious as a baked potato - until today. The potato itself had zero flavor, the bland chives could not cut through that gustatory boredom, and if you think "well, butter and sour cream will make it palatable", oh no, not with the light (!) sour cream and low fat butter free butter spread they give you. It is a fast food restaurant, do you think I'd go there if I was on a low fat diet?
Two stars for the quick and friendly service, the soda machine and the delicious burger.
