While I'm always mindful that most chain restaurants offer similar experiences, the Wendy's at Royal Windsor near Ford Drive has seen better days.
This place exists in a dead zone between Mississauga and Oakville, tucked away in a plaza with a bunch of other no-name restaurants you won't remember driving past seconds later.
I've been coming here for years, and despite a reno job they did a few years back (which had the restaurant closed off-and-on for months), it doesn't look any better and the design is still hideously out-of-date. Walk into any other Wendy's in the city and you'll find polished interiors with the wall branding, do-it-yourself Coke machines and much better seating. Walk in here and you'll feel like you had a bad acid trip and went back to the early 90s.
The food is nothing to write home about, but every time I come here I see the weirdest people. Lots of redneck-looking folks, slobs and teens yelling loudly. Maybe it's just the mindset of the local area, but the other patrons almost always distract me when I'm trying to eat.
This is one of those places that's worth going to only if you have no other immediate options in the area. Otherwise, steer clear. It wouldn't surprise me if this place shuts down in a couple years.
