I was pleased to read that Wendy's had surpassed Burger King and takes the number two spot in the fast food standings. I think Dave Thomas has better burgers and much better not-burgers, including the salads and baked potatoes and the chili. Nothing beats the original chocolate Frosty! I popped in for a quite bite this weekend and found this Wendy's to be solid. Standard layout and the standard menu. My Junior Bacon Cheeseburger was perfectly put together and the Cheesy Cheddarburger hit the spot. With a small chili and a small Frosty, I was stuffed and all for less than $5. That's a deal!

This is my second time coming to this location in a month. Its right there w/ where I regularly get gas during lunch. You would think that w/ it being right next to Carowinds and its the summertime that it would be faster during lunch time . Today's visit was not any different. They only had one person taking orders at 12:30 and the drive thru had like 4 cats waiting for orders to be taken. Workers behind the counter didn't know what people ordered so they were confused. If this place wasn't connected to the gas station I like to use, I would go across the street to Subway or drive 5 min more to the McDs when I want a burger. I mean prime location and they're taking advantage of people they know will come here because of their location.

I make it known that I am not normally a fan of fast food places and especially drive through but I have to say I enjoyed my experience with this one the other day. After running errands all over town on my lunch hour, I needed a quick bite to eat and for once this drive through line wasn't that long so I stopped. The "problem" is the car I got behind. I was listening to them carry on in the car. They must have changed their order about 5 times. As an employee, I would have been irritated but when I got up to the mic, the order taker was pleasant and when I got to the window she was smiling. Must really enjoy her job. For food, I ordered the Carolina Classic which is my favorite burger from Wendy's. Burger, mustard, slaw, chili...mmmm yum! And just enough mess to make it all worth while! Wendy's fries with sea salt are really good too and they got my unsweet tea order right as well. So Kudos to this Wendy's for dealing with difficult people in a positive way!

Stopped here to get a quick sandwich before hitting the road. I'm always skeptical of gas-station/fast food restaurant pairings since there is always a lot going on, but I got in and out okay and the food hit the spot at that particular time. I can imagine this place gets super busy during the summer once Carowinds opens up and there is a lot more traffic coming though.

I just happened to go to the Shell gas station and my son said he wanted wendy's to eat. Now we dont normally eat out often but today I said ok. We got the gas, walked in wendys and instantly I saw how filthy the restaurant was. Then I walked in further towards the cash register and there was this aweful smell. We automatically turned around and walked out the restaurant. My first time there and this was an aweful experience and I will not eat there again. They need to work on keeping the place sanitary especially being a good place....

Oh my goodness it's frustrating to enter, park, and exit this Wendy's without making an illegal turn. I would try to go to this place during my trip to Carowinds and the only way I could safely enter was by making an illegal U-Turn at the Carowinds exit. I tried doing it lawfully by making 3 left turns but got stuck in the mess of a hotel parking lot chock full of one-way streets. Once you get to here, it's very crowded, and you will frequently find yourself accidentally boxing in parked cars as you try to wait for the drive-thru. That being said, once you get your food, you will find that it's the same Wendy's food that you get at other stores, except slightly more rushed looking due to the crazy influx of tourists from Carowinds. It's not a big deal to me, and FAR better than paying $10 for a tiny meal at Carowinds. Getting a burger and chili really hit the spot on our trip to Carowinds and I would gladly do the same again. The only reason this place gets 3-stars rather than 4 is just because of its wait time, and it's poorly designed parking lot.

This is one of the worst fast food place I have to go too. 1st visit I was really craving for a frosty. Went thru the drive thru.. Ordered and she gave me the frosty. And that's it. No spoon or straw. I'm now annoyed. Asked her if I can have a spoon or straw. With my annoyed face and voice.. Her response., "oh you want a spoon or straw"?? Mind you, you should see the attitude and the neck rolling when she said that.. So I said.. Duhhh, common sense isn't it. I feel I'm about to jump out of my car and she about to climb out of that drive thru so it best I drive off. Livid at this point... I saw the commercial 2 days ago for the steak salad, I really wanted to try it.. So since my man is heading to Culver's. Why not stop by Wendy's for the salad.. Well, this is great. I got the salad with no steaks.. Was I surprised.. Not at all. He called to tell them about it and asked if I wanted him to go back for "the steaks". I said don't bother and I guess I'll be Yelping about this. Honestly I really don't think anybody here cares about their job that much.. It's a prime location.. Next to Carowinds. And location on one of the busiest streets. Take it or leave. Well 2nd strike and I'll say I'll leave it. Many more places who will want my money, and they will gladly give me my orders w/o attitudes and get it right the 1st time.
