Generally I wouldn't review a standard chain place like Arby's/Wendy's/Taco Bell/McDonalds, but since I live right around the corner from these particular 4 locations Google keeps asking me to, so let's just get it over with...

This Wendy's location is far and away the most frequent fast food I purchase. It's right around the corner from my house and it's mediocre. The reason I go here is because the crew is superior to the crews at all of the other competition on High Street in this neighborhood. That's really it, the crew is the only reason I go to this location.

Seasonally we get the pulled pork fries and during that season I'm all over Wendy's, but for the rest of the year they're just the best bad choice.

But again I want to give credit to this crew. I've seen this location clear their entire drive through line in the time the McDonald's across the street clears one single car on at least four different occasions. I've seen this crew slammed with sports teams, overflowing drive through, and filled dining area and was blown away at the professionalism and dutifulness of the crew managing those rushes, particularly within the context of the crews at all of the other nearby fast food chains. Usually during my visits there's this old guy named Greg managing the crew. He's not too personable, he's kind of short and abrupt and I never hear a please or thank you from him, but he's a quick worker and he's always in humble command of the crew. I gotta give this guy props.
