I love the juxtaposition of reviewing a fast food chain and then a fancy restaurant, so I'm gonna do it here ya'll. After tearing up Copper Mountain as much as we could stand it for opening day today (until the heat and crowds got to us), we were darn hungry and had to feed ourselves before driving back to D-town. I heard the siren song of the baconator, so we ended up at Wendy's. I know. I know. It's Wendy's. Your expectations can only be so high when you're eating fast food. We started reminiscing about the day of the baked potato bar and the much-sought-after chili, which in my grown-up state just doesn't seem tasty. I don't eat a lot of fast food, but it should be a fast and cheap way to fill up, yes? I was shocked to see that 2 their "healthy" dishes - like a baked potato and chili - start at $5.40. So, if I got a baked potato and a Dasani water, it would be $5.40. What happened, Wendy's? I guess it's inflation, but I'd rather spend that on deli sandwich or a gyro or something. After we ate our meals, my BIL summed it up quite nicely. "Well, that was the most unsatisfying Wendy's experience I've had." (Or something quite like that.) I agree. My baconator was lukewarm upon arrival and cold after two bites - but I was hungry so kept eating. Fries were good, as expected, but that's about all I can say. Next time: we're packing lunch!

It's really good during the day, but of course, up in the mountains, the 99-cent shit are like $1.39. Still good though. However, do NOT come here after 8pm unless you are drunk or high. The food seriously sucks ass. The hamburgers are always cold, and the fries taste like they've been sitting under heat lamps all night, they're dry and flat. I went last night, and there was a manager and I thought to myself, "Oh good, maybe he'll make sure everyone gets their shit together and prepare the food fresh n hot." Yeah, I was wrong. Ice-cold burger. Yummy. It's only good during the day here... I've gone by here at night 3 times, and each time it was cold... needless to say, I won't be coming back after 8pm... sucks because sometimes I get off work so late and they're usually the only fast-food restaurant that I like that's open. These guys sure are making Dave proud.

OK, it's a Wendy's. You get what you expect for a meal - it's reliable and tasty. What I really appreciated was the regard the staff has for their customers. I left a small bag at the restaurant with medical necessities on my way from Steamboat Springs to the Denver airport. By the time I realized my predicament, I had no time to return to the restaurant before my flight. However, I did call the Wendy's and spoke with one of the staff, who told me nothing had been found. I left my name and telephone number, just in case. When I arrived at my destination, the shift manager, Julie, had left a message on my phone that the bag had been located. I called her, and she told me she would ship my bag to me. I got it today. I sincerely thank the staff at the Silverthorne for the respect and kindness shown to a stranger.

Mmm, I can't help it but I love Wendy's! Easily my favorite fast food restaurant. Their burgers are even better since they changed them around 18 months ago to be thicker and juicer. The only down side is the burgers that are on the dollar (or a little more?) menu are still the older style of thinner burgers so you have to purchase the combo meals to get them. I'm also not a huge fan of their new, thick cut fries but the deliciousness of a Hot n' Juicy Half Pound Double cheese burger more than makes up for it. If it's chain restaurant fast food burgers that you are looking for, give good ol Wendy's a try!

It's Wendy's. You can't get too excited about Wendy's. However, it's a a nice enough place to grab lunch for cheap along I-70. Tables and bathrooms are clean, employees are efficient, and while it will never be something to write home about, their burgers and sandwiches are decent and their fries are reliably tasty. I'm sure there's better options in Silverthorne, but this isn't a bad choice for a quick road trip stop.

Most of the Wendys I have been to are good but not that good. This one I feel is about the same, but slower. Walked into a line around the corner at dinner, decided to wait it out. Big mistake, slow and do mean slow. Waited for about 45 minutes to get fast food. This Wendys is right off of the highway and in a very busy part of town, not sure that was the problem. Short staffed seems to be more of the problem. People we very sorry it took so lang and the food was delivered to or table. I think I will go back but if I walk into a big line again I will know better than to wait it out. Hiring people to work in enviorment like that might be almost impossiable to due, so can kinda understand.
