Why everyone keeps coming back.

For burger lovers, the Dave’s Combo is a standout choice—a quarter-pound* fresh beef patty crowned with American cheese, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, crunchy pickles, ketchup, mayo, and delicate onions, all nestled on a perfectly toasted bun.

It’s the perfect option for daring foodies craving robust flavor and a little adventure.

Complementing the main dishes are impeccably cooked sides that add the perfect touch of comfort. Wendy’s signature Natural-Cut French Fries, with their skin-on, sea-salted crunch, deliver a classic treat that never fails to satisfy. For spice enthusiasts, the Ghost Pepper Fries pack a punch with their hot and zesty ghost pepper sauce, while the Queso Fries smothered in creamy poblano queso and shredded cheddar cheese offer a decadent, flavorful alternative.

Dining in, got a $6 biggie bag. Double stack option. Had my food fast, I mean less than 10 mins fast. Everything tastes fresh, burger was picture perfect and tasted great. Miss Dee was very nice taking my order and even brought it to me at the table. I had all but given up on Wendy's but I have to say this location will continue getting my business! Thanks Miss Dee!

I'll admit that I ordered about 30 kinutes before close. I expected service that reflects this, but to say I was blown away is an understatement. The associates, Bradon and Ricky, made the entire visit enjoyable from the speakerbox all the way to the window. On top of ensuring my food was made fresh, they kept great energy and polite conversation the entire time. Definitely one of the best Wendy's I've been to in a few years!!

This is a Wendy's by my work, so keep that in mind. Honestly a lot faster than most Wendy's I've been to in the past, but sometimes they half-ass the food. I always get baconator fries and there have been a few times they just don't put cheese sauce on it without telling me they were out in the first place. One time I got potato wedges in it instead of fries. But hey, at least they keep me guessing.
