Wendy's

Wendy's is the king of good, filling, cheap meals. Their 4 for 4 meal is my standard when I'm out and about and need a quick meal. This Wendy's location was busy! The drive thru took a long time. The food was standard Wendy's. Good chicken nuggies, decent fries a drink and the perfect junior bacon cheeseburger. Everything looked good. Everything tasted good. The girl in the window did an excellent job answering my questions all while being friendly. A solid performance from this Wendy's. I liked it! #NatsJourneys #KCFoodie #CulinaryAdventures #ExploreYourCity #TopekaKS #NatApproved

UPDATE: 4.17.2022 7:51 p.m. 'OOPS, I DID IT AGAIN' I made the mistake of stopping at the GAGE location out of desperation. THIS LOCATION JUST NEEDS TO CLOSE. We pulled into the FULLY LIT restaurant, with multiple vehicles in the parking lot, because we saw 2 employees in the drive thru window and trusted that they were working. When we pulled around to the drive thru menu, before we spoke, we were told, very quickly and quietly, that they were closed "due to lack of staffing." So, why are all the lights on, including the menu board? Are you incapable of shutting the lights and board off? Are you guys so broke that you can't buy a piece of poster board to tape to your menu board stating that you're closed. Could you spend $5 on a road cone to place in your drive-thru indicating it is closed, like other restaurants do? I'm embarrassed to say that this is not the first time I fell for the 'lights on' trick. It had been very irritating, during a couple of previous disappointments, when the only indication you had that you were not open was the little eight and a half by 11 piece of white paper on the drive-thru window that said you opened at 11 a.m. Of course, this was only able to be read after I had driven around the building and pulled up to your window. PLEASE, just give up. I was much more understanding during the lockdown. But the fact that the other Wendy's locations do not seem to suffer from the same problems as this one is a clear sign that this location is a problem. When other businesses that have multiple locations are having staffing issues they move staff between locations. Why not this location? Is it because it is the least profitable? Do us all a favor and close this location so that you can focus your energies on the others. I promise to visit the 8th & Topeka location and, less often, the newest, North Topeka location.

Ordered an avacado southwest salad and there was no avacado. Fries were cold even though they advertise fresh hot fries guaranteed. Will not visit this store again. Edit. I decided to call the store to let them know my experience, and inform them so they could check the other salads so this didn't happen again. Live google status shows the store is not busy at all however 2 attempts to call both rang through long enough the call just ended.
