I've been to 3 locations in Nanaimo and so far this is the best one. I've had no problems from them and the food is great.

What a dump We don't typically eat at McDonald's but I had…read mores craving for there fries so my wife son and I stopped in for a late 2:30 lunch After ordering we were told our food would be brought to our table So we took our number and went to find a seat There was hardly anyone in the place but every table was covered in garbage I finally picked to cleanest dirty table and removed the trays and used napkins to wipe it off We then waited 10 mins for our food 2 happy meals and a Big Mac meal The fries were brown and tasted like old Burnt grease I'm the time it took us to eat our meal the manager walked by 4-5 times but didn't even glance at all the dirty tables I don't know what I was expecting but clean fast professional service was not what I got Stay away until they start taking a little more pride in there restaurant

I order here all the time and it's usually good but last night I got a burger meal, there was mold…read moreon my burger bun and they put pickles on the burger (I'm allergic). Then they half filled the fries and put ice in my drink... I went back through the drive-thru and they said that because of COVID they could not remake my order and I would have to order and pay again, this is ridiculous!!!! How can you give me that burger with mold, an ingredient I'm allergic too and half full large fries and then expect me not to make a compliant- then tell me you can't remake it because you already handed it out the window!!!! I asked for the manager and this teenage girl told me to get lost because I was holding the line up! I left my order on the drive-thru window and drove away!!! This is horrible service and I will make the trip more up island (North or central nanaimo) next time I want a Big Mac!!!

I love the staff here. They are super friendly and helpful. It's nice to see the smiles. They…read morewent the extra mile to make my day and I appreciate that. Thank you. My favourite is the junior bacon cheeseburger. Perfect size and tasty every time. That drive thru doesn't really make sense though. Who designed that mall? Lunatics?

0 Stars Very Rude…read moreand Unprofessional staff combined with terrible food Quality!!! Just went through your island highway location drive thru and ordered a double wendys combo. The burger Pattie's were burnt, dried out and cold, as well the fries were cold. The burger was squished, lettuce and tomato was hanging out the bun on one side with the meat hanging out of the other side. One of the patties was actually missing a corner of the meat patty. It actually looked like a child who didn't care put it together. After two bites of the burger ending up throwing it and the cold fries in the garbage. Left me with a $14 drink for lunch. Not sure what's happened to the island highway location but this is the third time in a row the food was terrible here. The last time I went through your drive thru. I ordered a double combo and received a single burger and cold fries. Time before that, cold burger. Being I'm on the road for work Wendy's was one of my go to FF places for the past 30 years. As well the drive thru staff sure isn't very friendly and actually quite rude at this location. To bad this use to be my favourite location. Never ever going to this location again. Lost me as a customer forever. Head office should step in. It's apparent by all the negative reviews.There is a real problem at this island highway location. It must be under new ownership because it was never like this before. STAY CLEAR OF THIS LOCATION

Not sure why there are so many past negative reviews. My hubs and I ate here before we caught the…read moreferry back to Tsawwassen and found our two Teen Burgers (beef patty, bacon, lettuce, tomato, skipped the cheese though it does come with it, on a sesame bun) to be tasty, hot, and fast. We liked that it was grass-fed beef, hand-leaved lettuce, and all tasted fresh. This was our first time trying an A&W in Canada and we enjoyed it and would try it again. Taking off one star because the men's washroom toilet wouldn't flush and they were in the middle of getting it fixed. Otherwise, it was a clean and efficient place and had excellent air conditioning on a hot day.

Not enough can be said to convey how absolutely disgusting this place is…read more I've visited a few times since I moved to the area hoping, each time, that it would get better than the last one but it just keeps getting worse. They've gotten my order wrong on every visit. They're rude and agressive when their errors are pointed out. They charge extra for things that are free at other locations. Their bathrooms are f***ing disgusting. I've witnessed an employee lick her finger and then continue to prepare orders of fries without washing her hands. They're frequently out of the most fundamental basics needed to run a restaurant like napkins, beef, and chicken(yes, I'm serious). It just blows my mind that someone could consistently get things so wrong. It's pure incompetence and a lack of giving a shit and it's an embarrassment to the brand.  Do yourself a favour and avoid this location at all costs. There's another one about five minutes away that's a million times better.
