Wendy's - Hawthorne

Very nice and CLEAN location, emphasis on clean because for some reason a lot of other places don’t get the memo to clean. Went inside and the line was fast and smooth, took the order with complete accuracy, and the food was hot and fresh, that’s really all you can ask for when visiting anywhere for lunch. Will return.

After having lived near the worst Wendys in America (garden of the gods in Colorado Springs) it's refreshing to live near one that gets it right. I ordered a big bacon cheddar combo to go, and I think it was like 11 bucks with tip? Great value, and the food was very good. I gotta ding one star though, because the thing that's never supposed to happen just did: My fries were soggy. I didn't even know the new fries COULD be soggy. I'm like a ten or fifteen minute drive from the location, which shouldn't be enough for them to go soft, so I assume they had them in the warmer for a minute. I DID order during the lunch rush, so I wouldn't be surprised. Edit: Order number 2, fries were soggy again. Clearly they can't cook their fries because these were legitimately undercooked. Not cold, actually not prepared correctly. Quit overloading the baskets, guys, half of the fries just taste like blanched potato when you do that. Also, my burger was missing a sauce (which sucks, because I took off all of the other sauces so it was just dry as hell) and they didn't include my dipping sauce. They messed it up last time, gave me ghost pepper ranch instead which I was into, but nothing? I'd have put the bbq on the sandwich and been fine... IF I HAD ONE. Takeaway from this is that the location is very inconsistent and they need to teach the cook how to make fries properly. Order the baked potato or something, that's what I'll be doing instead. Final edit: The manager offered me 2 free meals and a free sandwich when I said something. 5 stars, the management cares. Definitely go with the baked potato instead, it was fantastic. 5 stars just for making it right.

Better that the usual fast food fare. More adventurous. The new Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich is quite good.

For a price range of $10-20 per person, the food and service at this restaurant are both outstanding. I would rate both a 5 out of 5. Highly recommended for a delicious brunch option.
