No one could have predicted Wendys would become as successful as it has been. When the first restaurant opened. After all. Dave Thomas initially established the chain. So that his kids could work there during the summer.
But now Wendys is up there with the best of them. Wendy’s is well-known for more than just their food due to their nearly 6,000 locations across the United States. And their hilarious Twitter account.
But their food is what made them famous in the first place. And it’s what keeps customers coming back for more.
Best and Worst of Wendys
Wendys Coupons has become wildly popular due in large part to its square burgers. But the restaurant has a lot more to offer. Many choices may make it difficult to settle on a meal.
So, we ranked every Wendys menu item from best to worst to make your decision easier. Keep reading to find out which option prevails.
1. Sandwich with Crispy Chicken
You may have been tempted to buy this burger based on the assumption that it is inexpensive.
On the other hand. The low price may reflect the product’s low quality. Don’t get us wrong, this burger can be eaten, but it’s not particularly tasty.
As with the rest of KFC’s menu. Sales of the crispy chicken sandwich are down due to the abundance of high-quality alternatives from rival fast food franchises.
McDonald’s McChicken and Chick-fil-Chicken A’s Sandwich are just two examples of burgers that easily top Wendys crispy chicken sandwich in every conceivable category.
In conclusion, the Wendys crispy chicken sandwich is the absolute worst thing you can order.
2. Wendys Use a Double Layer
It’s true that some people will never be satisfied with anything other than a classic beef burger.
However, after eating a Wendys ‘Double Stack.’ You may rethink your stance.
Although this burger just barely edges out their crispy chicken sandwich in terms of flavor. That doesn’t make it a particularly good burger.
Your initial reaction to the double stack will be one of disappointment. For one reason or another, despite the name’s implication of a large burger. This one is surprisingly puny.
Wendys double-stacked two junior-sized patties for this burger rather than using a standard-sized one. That double stack won’t fill you up by itself.
This burger has decent flavor, but its enormous size and unappealing appearance prevent it from moving up the list.
3. The French Fry
Read our review of the best fast-food French fries to find out why we don’t recommend Wendy’s.
We dislike them for many different reasons. But what it comes down to is that Wendys French fries are inconsistent.
There are those who will find it hard to believe that Wendys could serve such subpar French fries. After all. Wendy’s French fries are traditionally simple: they’re just long sticks of potato cut into thin strips.
But Wendys consistently fails to meet expectations by over-salting their burgers or properly cooking their fries.
It’s not that Wendy’s doesn’t have good food; they do. It’s just that their fries aren’t among the best.
4. Wendys Dave’s Single
If you order a “Dave’s Single,” you will receive one of Wendys famous square burgers.
We use the word “enjoy” very loosely here because Dave’s single isn’t exactly Wendy’s finest burger. It’s not perfect, but it’s a vast improvement over the double stack we considered before.
We’ve looked at a lot of burgers, and Dave’s Single stands out because it’s made with high-quality ingredients.
This burger uses adult-sized, high-quality ingredients and is significantly more substantial than the double stack.
We gave this dish a low score because the burger patty is buried under all the other stuff in it.
Overall, Dave’s Single isn’t a bad burger, but it could use a bit more meat, which is why we prefer the ‘Dave’s Double,’ which we’ll review in a moment.
5. Crunchy Chicken Tenders
The chicken nuggets at any fast food joint are usually a good bet.
Unless, of course, you’re at Wendy’s. Wendys ‘Crispy Chicken Nuggets’ are usually inconsistent due to the same problems that affect their fries.
Wendy’s is known to occasionally serve up chicken nuggets that are cooked to perfection and taste amazing.
Sometimes the nuggets will be perfectly cooked and tender, but other times they will be overcooked and tough.
Wendy’s chicken nuggets have undergone numerous iterations over the years, but the company still seems to be working toward perfecting the recipe.
Wendys chicken nuggets were never going to be the best on the market because of McDonald’s. Unfortunately, given the current quality of their nuggets. They are more likely to come in last.
6. Wendys Club Sandwich with Grilled Chicken
There are problems with Wendy’s crispy chicken sandwich. As we’ve seen, but there are also problems with the grilled chicken sandwich.
However, we slightly prefer the grilled chicken sandwich to the crispy version. The burger’s flavor is largely to thank for this.
The chicken in this grilled chicken sandwich is on the chewy side. There’s a rubbery feel to it, but considering how cheap it is, that’s to be expected.
Honey mustard. Which is also included in the burger, and helps mask the burger’s chewiness.
Even though the grilled chicken sandwich isn’t Wendy’s best burger. It’s better than the others we’ve tried.
7. Chili
Wendy’s chili is the best you will ever taste. The Wendys chili is the best fast food chili I’ve ever had.
You might be wondering after reading that why such a tasty option barely made the top 10. Now, then, let’s take a peek.
The primary issue with Wendys chili is the quality of the ingredients they use to make it. Wendy’s uses old hamburger patties in place of ground beef. Just hearing that will turn off a lot of potential customers.
On top of that, Wendys chili has over half of the daily recommended salt intake, in addition to 9 grams of fat and 9 grams of sugar, making it an extremely unhealthy option.
Therefore, Wendy’s chili is the best fast-food chili you can get. You’ll see why it’s so low on the list once you find out what goes into its production.
8. Chicken Sandwich, Made the Old-Fashioned Way
All the chicken burgers we’ve tried from Wendy’s have been less than stellar. But their “Home Style Chicken Sandwich” is an exception.
It’s as if Wendy takes a critical look at their crispy and grilled chicken sandwiches. Made the necessary adjustments, and came up with the ‘Home Style Chicken Sandwich.’
The chicken is succulent and flavorful. The bacon is crisp and delicious, and the addition of lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise enhances the burger’s already stellar flavor profile.
Even though we’ve been pretty harsh on the rest of Wendy’s food, we haven’t had a single complaint about their home-style chicken sandwich.
9. Wendys Icy Vanilla Treat
When it comes to desserts, not everyone is a fan of the vanilla frosty.
This isn’t so much a problem with vanilla frosty as it is with vanilla ice cream in general, since many people find this flavor to be uninteresting.
However, the Vanilla Frosty is a must-try for any ice cream lover.
This has been a staple on the Wendys menu ever since its introduction in 2006.
Many people speak ill of the vanilla frosty. But if it were truly so terrible. It wouldn’t be available to order today. Despite the fact that it isn’t as well-known as its chocolate counterpart. We still consider it to be a delicious dessert choice.
Therefore, if you don’t like chocolate ice cream, Vanilla Frosty is the one for you.
