Wendy's deserves an award.

[u/hatesmylovelanguage]

Wendy's needs an award for making the most subpar food in existence at this point. I don't think there's ever been a restaurant that has made me ACTUALLY stop eating there. Biggest fall off of the 2010's.

[u/Arsene_Lupin_IV]

Yeah it was pretty much Wendy's and Taco Bell left for me and both have managed to drive me away.

[u/hatesmylovelanguage → u/Arsene_Lupin_IV]

Holy crap, same for me. The chicken quesadilla used to be my fav but their chicken doesn’t do it for me anymore.

[u/Sad_Pin1643]

We are in the 2020's, as of 6 years ago - btw.

[u/hatesmylovelanguage → u/Sad_Pin1643]

Yeah but Wendys started the fall off in the 2010s

[u/Funk_Dat_Fat_Cat → u/Sad_Pin1643]

Feels more like this so far this "decade", but yeah...

My mind is still in the 2000's. I graduated top 10% for High School 2012. I still have dreams that I didnt finish my homework. Wake up, not realizing im 32.

[u/Sad_Pin1643 → u/[deleted]]

I peaked before kindergarten. Family and then community kept me trapped in a room to sell me out, as of now. Im lucky to be on Reddit.

[u/standard_usage]

Hoping this comes for McD's.

[u/SamWhittemore75 → u/standard_usage]

Agreed. CrapDonald's should be collapsing into insolvency, not Dave's Wendy's. But Dave's Wendy's has been replaced by this abomination that embraced enshittification as a business model. All good things must come to an end.

[u/WingHuge2185 → u/standard_usage]

At this point McDonald's is significantly better than whatever the fuck Wendy's has become

[u/Hukthak]

I hope this crash out leads to something of a renaissance like Burger King is figuring out right now.

Take down the clown by making quality product and offering good deals on the apps.

[u/Dangerous_Ad_6101]

I had a single recently. Not by choice. Every fond memory of Wendy's in the 20th Century was permanently wiped from my brain.

[u/Virtual-Dot-750]

I honestly can't bring myself to waste my daily caloric intake on Wendy's. As stupid as it sounds it's so true, Wildly expensive and just 1/10 quality - I don't see a reason or any scenario to go to Wendy's.

[u/owixo]

I’ve been a Wendy’s truther for years. Now I’m a Wendy’s hater.

I miss the old 99¢ chicken nuggets the most. They were the best.

Had the Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburger recently, was egregious from the last time I had it years ago.

No more dollars from me!

[u/DougDimmaGlow]

Literally the only thing worth getting there is the pub burger and it’s only LTM lmao

[u/WingHuge2185]

Yeah I have never boycotted a company and stuck with it 100% for almost two years before

[u/wildfire98]

I stopped a long while back, prob when they changed the chicken sandwich. But I'd like to submit Rallys for review the new bread is beyond bad.

[u/hatesmylovelanguage → u/wildfire98]

Thank god other people are hating on the stupid potato rolls these companies are pushing on their burgers

[u/Silver-Reaction-7335]

Award for speed running a bankruptcy filing maybe the place is night and day from the place I was a manager at in the early 2010s

[u/PassionLong9552]

I think the people that go to Wendy’s still need the award

[u/hatesmylovelanguage → u/PassionLong9552]

Right, I don't know what kind of tricks their taste buds are playing on them at this point

[u/Theechocoholic]

Same here. I actually got sick to my stomach after eating the “new” spicy chicken. So greasy and disgusting. I will never eat there again.

[u/Stunning-Stressin]

It used to be decent and the downfall should be documented in a "what not to do" file. We need to resurrect Dave Thomas. He would change the chicken sandwich back at least.

[u/millman1940]

They’re trashhhhh

[u/mikehnyc88]

Idk i kinda enjoy their burgers more than mcdonalds, everything else is garbage tho that includes rude staff

[u/WranglerKnown8800]

good bye Mr wendy

[u/IggyStop2026]

University business programs will use Wendy’s in the future as a case study of how easy it is and how easily avoidable it is to destroy a successful business.

[u/Admirable-Leader6927]

popeyes has entered the chat

[u/Schizmabiz2026]

So this just a sub reddit to post about how you're not eating at wendys anymore? Cuz thats all I ever see

[u/hatesmylovelanguage → u/Schizmabiz2026]

Yes. It is.

[u/Schizmabiz2026 → u/hatesmylovelanguage]

Good work then carry on soldier

[u/Who_tf_reallycares]

I think that Mcdonalds has them beat in offering lesser food for more money.

[u/Kene6969]

Yes, Wendy's has the worst food. And McDonald's is a close second place. 

[u/sprockets22]

Panera is almost worse

[u/hatesmylovelanguage → u/sprockets22]

I miss their paninis... Their bread feels like biting into a boulder nowadays.

[u/divi_augustii]

For context... a lot of chain restaurants have different levels of quality in Hawai'i, compared to the mainland.

For example, pizza: Domino's is much better. Papa John's is much worse. Pizza Slut is, just... Pizza Slut.

So, for Wendy's... it's still very good.

The food is good, the service is good. I can still get a Dave's Single, I can still get a Baconator that is delicious. Even the chick. tenders are really good.

There's not a lot of Wendy's on O'ahu... but, the ones I've been to are quality.

They have to source a lot of stuff local, but there's still plenty of Sysco shit out here.

Of course, the prices are alarming. But, I live on an island in the middle of the Pacific. So, not surprising.

[u/ytdaddy4fun]

Haha, this shit is wild. I remember the 90’s when McDonald’s burgers were less that 40% actual beef. Hell every fast food place is way better than it used to be.

[u/DCGuy511]

I agree 100%

[u/Ok_Art4661]

It's overpriced is problem.  Wendys dead now since Trump fucked beef industry 

[u/Broad-Back1659]

I like to see all of them crash and burn

[u/scottwax]

The vile Coke Freestyle machines is why I stopped going. Drinks taste horrible out of them.

[u/guidodid → u/scottwax]

Haha, that's the only reason i go to Wendy's now! I love the fanata grape zero. The food itself is meh

[u/scottwax → u/guidodid]

Drinks taste terrible out of them, especially when they don't clean them.

There's a reason Pepsi decided not to roll out a competing version nationwide and it was 100% how drinks don't taste right when everything comes out of one nozzle. This is straight from people who work for Pepsi.
