Wendy's — Restaurant in Manitowoc

So I walked into Wendy's, fully expecting to grab a quick meal and leave. Little did I know, I was about to embark on a culinary journey that would rival fine dining—if fine dining involved Frostys and nuggets you eat in your car while parked at the far end of the lot like a food goblin.

First off, the cashier greeted me with the enthusiasm of someone who just found out they’re getting off work early. I ordered a Baconator because I believe in living life on the edge (and by "edge" I mean dangerously close to a nap afterward). This burger wasn’t just a meal; it was a meat lover’s fever dream wrapped in a bun and smothered in enough bacon to make a pig file a complaint.

The fries? Oh, those glorious golden strips of salty joy. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside—like a tiny potato pillow that tastes like happiness. I dipped them in a Frosty because I’m an adult and I do what I want. Sweet and salty, hot and cold—it’s like my taste buds went on a rollercoaster and didn’t want to get off.

And let’s talk about the Frosty itself. Is it a drink? Is it ice cream? Nobody knows, and frankly, I don’t care. All I know is I’d dive into a pool of it given the chance. Chocolatey, creamy, and the reason I smiled like a lunatic on the drive home.

Wendy’s, you sassy red-headed burger sorceress, you’ve done it again. 10/10 would recommend. 15/10 if you get a side of nuggets and talk to them like tiny meaty friends (not that I did that... okay,...

After the employees messed up our order we went back through drive-through they said they would correct the order and when Justin “The store manager” and “CEO”he claimed, came outside he had a very disrespectful attitude, for the fact being that he had a long line and I was double checking to make sure that all of the food was there so we didn’t have to repeat the process again, he got an attitude and was shoving the lemonade drinks in my face as I continue to say one moment sir, he kept putting the lemonades in my face and I told him if he could wait a second so that I could check the order, I told him it was not my fault that you failed to do your job the first time and messed up the order and now I’m checking it again, he then said he was the store manager and I told him OK I will be contacting a higher up because it was extremely disrespectful that he was shoving drinks in my face, he then said he was the CEO, so I’m not exactly sure if he is the store manager and CEO or both but all in all a very very...

Alright, so I got there around 7:30, and the line was super slow. I waited like, five minutes just for the person in front of me to order. I figured they were probably short on people. But then, after he orders, I had to wait another three minutes before they even asked me what I wanted!

Finally, I get to the window, pay, and then it's another 3-5 minute wait for my food. I only ordered the Takis Fuego Meal and a Son of a Baconator, so it's not a huge deal. I check the bag, and guess what? No burger! They gave it to someone else! So, I had to pull forward and wait AGAIN for my sandwich. When they finally bring it out, the guy doesn't even say sorry, no coupons, no discount, nothing!

I didn't get home until 8:00! That's like a half-hour just for a meal and a burger. By the time I get there, my Takis fries are all soggy, and they barely put any of the powder on them. Seriously, the best part of the whole meal was the Dr. Pepper and the bag of...
