This review is just for their new fish cod sandwich that I have absolutely enjoyed for Fish Friday.. soft fluffy bun, crispy fish with just the right amount of tartar sauce and a piece of fresh lettuce.. YUM! I would HIGHLY recommend! read more

My Wife and Grand Daughter went here yesterday. Burgers had no flavor, cheese tasted like cheese food. My Grand Daughter had a wrap with chicken it, smelled sour, she threw it away. Fries tasted like they were boiled in water, not good! Won't be back! read more

The size and look of the hamburger is WAY different than the reality. The picture being advertised is nowhere close to what you actually get. I love wendys but I wish they could structure their hamburgers a little more like the pictures. read more

Wendy's - Cisco here! - Fast Food Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Employee handling food wasn't wearing gloves. Cashier was putting condiments in the bag while already touching every persons credit card. Pretty unsanitary especially during a pandemic. read more

Came here early and I was the first customer of the day. Visited the hospital nearby with the family and was in the area so we decided to grab a quick meal. I ordered a burger meal and fries were good. But the problem here is after arriving home and preparing to eat my lunch I see that my apple pecan salad was going bad. Just look at the pictures and see for yourselves. I was the first customer of the day, right at 10am there should be no reason I'm getting a bad smell rotting salad. Apples were also rotting and the chicken looked nasty. Dont have that kind of time and energy to drive back and get my refund. This is a first in my life. Never had this kind of issue when ordering a "salad" wow. Shame. read more

See all

It seems as tho this Wendy's always has some issue plus having a line that goes so slow sometimes it's unbearable. All I wanted was a pineapple mango lemonade. Easy, the line is out the driveway and into the street. Okay- doable. The person in front of me clearly had some issue too - they took a long time after the food had been delivered and threw their hands up at the window attendant...... I get up to the window she ignores me after she says total.... just holding my hand out in the rain, and then obviously could not run my card correctly.... she said it was error -- I'm looking at my bank app in real time... it has plenty of money. I said please run it again.... she rolls her eyes -- maybe reruns it--- and just goes nope ... declined, give me back the drink.... and yanks it... I call the bank to check statement.... yeah... like I thought. Everything's fine on our end.... I'm just annoyed at the fact that the employee clearly was having a hard time running the window..... she is making the line back up due to her mistakes.... I want to get back in line to reorder but it's SO LONG NOW I can't handle it....... so I got home again-- without my favorite new drink. And to top it off, they don't answer the phone at all----- how would anyone even resolve anything. read more

I have been going to this Wendy's sense 2003 in Castro Valley there is 1 employee is stengy in giving refills on green tea my wife and I will be going to McDonald's and Taco Bell where we can eat from the dollar menu. Wendy's doesn't have a dollar menu and there prices are getting to expensive for us on a budget both of us are seniors. read more

9:30pm on Sunday 12/10/2017 I tried to order spicy chicken nuggets and they told me they didn't sell them anymore... I'm sitting in my car and am hearing laughter, I tell my brother they are laughing then over the radio I hear, "sorry," read more

I've been going here for years. Ever since my teen years. I never wrote a review cause, I mean..it's a Wendy's. The service hasn't been exceptionally bad. But...this is what happened. Friday night, I came here and ordered a meal. A spicy chicken sandwich meal with fries. Come 1 am, my stomach wakes me up cause I was in a lot of pain. I asked my boyfriend to please get me some tums. I took some and burped out some acidic gas. Then...it finally hits me, I get up, not knowing which end would have something come out of. I had massive diarrhea and I thought, ok, that should be the end of it. I got back into my room and sat for a bit. But wait..THERE'S MORE! I pushed my boyfriend out of the way, ran back into the bathroom and heaved out that spicy chicken sandwich. And oh man did it burn...spicy and vomit...there goes my esophagus. Definitely an unpleasant experience and def. learned my lesson to not get fast food anymore. After my episode, I laid in bed with my tummy still aching. The next day, my boyfriend's stomach starts hurting. Although he wasn't as extreme as me, he still had acidic gas after taking the tums. We didnt' eat anything else after the Wendy's. read more

Whoever was at the drive through at 230 pm on April 1st 2016, girl has an attitude problem. No smile horrible customer service.

The worst service ever, they messed up my order and then did not want to replace my food or refill my drink. I found hair in my food, buyers be aware!! The short Mexican lady manger that works nights at 9:35pm on Mondays is the worst. read more

Do not go this Wendy's if you want any customer service!!!!!!! If you have any problems with your window rolling down in your vehicle. I went there 5 minutes after 10 p.m. ( they close the dining area at 10 p.m.!!!) and tried to order inside the dining room because it is hard for me to go to the drive-thru, because my driver side window no longer rolls down. I admit it I drive a piece of shit!!! I just got off work and I'm freakin tired and hungry and I really wanted Wendy's!!!! .. i ask a very nice young lady who clearly was just getting off work and waiting to go home by the lock door, went and asked her manager if they would take one last customer in the dining room at 10:05 p.m.( remind you they been closed for 5 minutes and they told her that they would not accept me inside the dining room and I had to just go to the drive thru and open my door to order!! Wow really!!! well now you've lost my business forever I come to this Wendy's every week at least twice a week because I live around the corner well I won't be going there anymore !!! , I have worked in customer service for over 10 years and I guess it just goes to show just because I would go above and beyond for a total stranger that NOT everyone will. read more

food was cold and ask for something warm they acted like I did something wrong. Not one employee had a hair net on... so of course there was a hair in my food. When I ask them about it they acted like it was mine!!!! Never again will I come here for food. HORRIBLE CUSTOMERS SERVICE!!!!!!!! read more

I have been going to this Wendy's since my childhood. As far as Wendy's restaurants go, this one is pretty good. The food is made (or, heated and prepared?) right away, the staff is friendly and hardworking, and the dining area is clean. It is a nice, cheap way to enjoy a meal with friends. Although I have noticed the portions getting smaller lately. read more

Great service and food, I got my order a 1/4th burger with cheese and fries and a mr pib for a great price, Service was friendly. I will come here again!! read more

It's ok. They do not want to serve me in my rolly chair even though I clearly showed them I had 4 tires, a steering wheel and a radio. Oh well. They get my order right, don't burn the fries - what more could you ask for? One thing though, the chocolate frosties here taste like the recipe was changed, they are no longer nom nom. I thought maybe all the wendys has icky frosties so I tried one in livermore - YUM! Same old frosty I remember. Idk why this wendy's chocolate frosties taste weird, but they do. read more

I tried the new Wendy's breakfast and I threw up from number 7and the coffee is super bad

I love Wendy's...their burgers are juicy and made with "real meat" unlike cheap competitors which serve cardboard! Service is fast and restaurant is clean. read more

This won't be a long review because of it being Wendy's I have not been here since they actually had steak fries, man do I miss thee' somehow I think Burger King sends over thier french fries they taste act the same as burger kings fries, Wendys fries are now just "so so" I ordered a chicken sandwich, which was "A-OK" cooked out, not too tasty I guess. What can I say abou the soda, the same 5 selections they've had here for decades, the place was clean and orderly as usual. Its convienent right off the freeway. it's not rocket science, but I probably would have gone to Habit Burger if there was one, its alot better then Wendys read more

Very rude people, they do not take the order right and when you go back and ask why? They make fun of you and tell you we did not understand your accent, very pour service specially the drive through window, not recommended, they are other fast food places near by there that you can get quality food with perfect service, the Philipino lady with red shirt who covers her name tag and claims to be manager is very rude not to mention the window staff. Wish you luck if you really end up there hope you do not get food poisoning. read more

It's 10:30 pm and I'm picking up food on the way back home from work. Usually the staff at Wendy's are friendly and helpful so I noticed the tired, "I don't want to be here" attitude that was exuding from the drive-thru employee. But it's fine, I'm just picking up food, not to get a pep talk, so I promptly leave her to take care of the cars behind me. Then it hit me: she never asked me what kind of sauce I wanted for my nuggets. So I parked and dug through my bag. No sweet and sour, no BBQ, no honey mustard. No problem, I thought, I'll just go ask for one. Before I go on, I've been patronizing this particular Wendy's for years. I lived half my life in Castro Valley on Stanton Ave and two of my friends had worked at this Wendy's in High School. I know their policies more than I should. The drive-thru is packed by now and I need to get going. I notice an employee sitting around talking to another employee. I knock on the door in hopes that maybe one can come up and at least ask what I need. Both look at me then look away. I knock again and try to signal my need for my sweet and sour sauce. They stare at me. By this point I'm playing charades with them. I mean, is it really that hard for them to come up to the door? They didn't even have to open it, just close enough so that they can hear me yell "I NEED MY SAUCE". They make a shrugging motion. After about a minute, the manager pokes her head out from the counter. I'm thinking, "Finally, actual help." Nope, she makes the same, shoulders-up-head-down-hands-up shrugging motion as the employees. How helpful. I work in the thankless service industry, too. I know how it can be. However, it doesn't take much to tell me "sorry, we can help you because we are closed" in person. Instead I stand around helpless with the employees refusing to acknowledge me in a dignified way. Way to go, Wendy's. read more

I've been to this Wendy's several times and they are pretty conistent. I don't have much to complain about. Food is fast. People are nice. Their cod fish is great for fish fridays and their chili is good everytime I get it. I've had it at other wendy's where it's to bland or too salty. So if you want Wendy's I would go to this one. read more

THEY ONLY PLAY "KIDZ BOP" OVER THE SPEAKERS. The actual food/service is pretty decent, you should be fine if you do drive thru, but they've been playing nothing but "Kidz Bop" on the radio for almost 3 years now which makes the indoor seating area unacceptable. It would've been bad enough if they had regular vapid pop songs playing; having high-pitched 14 year olds singing every single song is unbearable. How the employees haven't lost their sanity yet is beyond me, if I was working there I'd have stuck my my head in the fryer years ago. read more

I ordered a double cheeseburger, fries, chicken nuggets, and a medium sprite at this contaminated fast food dump from hell before 12:00 pm today! Unfortunately, I returned to Wendy's for a 2nd time because my double cheeseburger was gross and it had a weird taste! My double cheeseburger was replaced with a junior bacon cheeseburger and I received a replacement order of fries as well as chicken nuggets. I knew something was wrong with my food when an older female (Filipino) employee gave me my food! She had a sneaky smirk on her face and when I inspected my food, the junior bacon cheeseburger did not look fresh, the fries didn't taste fresh, and the chicken nuggets were cold. when I took a bite of my bacon cheeseburger...it had a long, gross piece of hair in it! I immediately took the dog food back to Wendy's for the last time and that same older Filipino female employee gave me a refund with no apology! She pretended like she was beyond stupid when I asked her how hair got in my food and she continued to have a sneaky looking facial expression! My final statement to that unprofessional, middle aged employee was: "I will be giving Wendy's a review on Yelp based on my awful experience!" She gave me a blank, robotic stare and at that point I wasn't even surprised! I highly suspect an evil, malicious employee at Wendy's deliberately put hair in my food because I came back to the restaurant for a 2nd time as a result of receiving food that wasn't fresh! Each time that I ordered food at Wendy's today, I was very polite and I didn't deserve the horrible service or mistreatment! I will never eat at wendy's in Castro Valley as long as I am breathing! I will never purchase food for my dog at Wendy's in Castro Valley as long as he is breathing! I am also warning other people not to eat at that disgusting dump because the food definitely isn't fresh and the restaurant isn't sanitary! Hair belongs on a person's head....not in his or her food! read more

Okay, 5 stars for a Wendy's seems excessive, but I think for what they are and what they are trying to accomplish (low cost, fast, fresh, clean, polite), this is an unusually well run franchise. I have been coming sporadically here for many years now and feel qualified to write these words of praise. On the standard fast food metrics: Speed: Lightning fast - this is the fastest Wendy's around (and that is saying a lot). All you connoisseurs using the drivethrough and acting like you are perusing the menu at Chez Panisse - have your order and money ready or take it inside, please. Let's keep this Wendy's the fastest iin the west. Accuracy: I generally make a special request every time I am there and they have never gotten it wrong (at least 50 times over the years). That is really an amazing record of achievement in a fast food environment. Quality: Standard Cleanliness: These folks keep Wendy's ugly-assed design aesthetic sparkling clean. Customer Service: They know how to keep the line moving in a reasonably pleasant way, especially tough with the aforementioned connoisseurs. Although this is a chain and doesn't merit a food review, Wendy's makes the best burger in the business. Well priced, relatively healthy (the leanest beef in fast food nation - look it up), and meaty tasting, not greasy tasting. Leave off the mayo, add a size salad and diet coke and you have a not unhealthy meal at a fast food joint. read more

This is the BEST Wendy's around! .....We come from Concord, Hayward and Pleasanton areas for home and work and this one is the best! The food is always good and they don't seem to mess up our order like the others do, all the time! I wish they would bring back the fish sandwich though! read more

This Wendy's is horrible they messed up twice on my four for four order and now is taking forever to fix it. The Mexican lady the manager is very rude she talks so much mess in Spanish like yes honey I speak Spanish too . The lady taking my order is very disrespectful I would not come here ever again. read more

Great place to grab a quick lunch. I tried their baked potato recently and I was surprisingly pleased. I baked potato is great substitute for fried french fries. read more

I come to this Wendy's often, and they are fast, friendly, and the food is always hot. I haven't been disappointed by this location yet. I'll continue to return. Very friendly young man at the drive-thru window. read more

They have good burgers, fries and frosties here. Subtract one star for the creepy voice recording at the drive thru. I prefer a live person to ask me what I want to order, thank you. read more

I had a tough time to get the burgers with the restaurant closed and had to make it back the drive way after 10:30. P.m. I tried their chicken burgers ( breast portions) and they were amazingly good. Done to perfection. They are amazing. read more

Sorry guys. I've tried several times because its so close to my home. They have bad additudes. The food is way too greasy and no one understands because I have to tell my order several times. I hate to say it but McDonalds is where i will be going from now on. read more

Avoid this place at all cost, literally had ROTTEN burger meat in the quarter-pounder I ordered.

This Wendy's is probably the worst one out of all of them! The sodas taste like crap and the food is nasty! I don't recommend going there at all. read more

Ordered food at drive thru. No utensils provided (chili, baked potato, salad and double double with fries) eat with your hands??? They also shorted the fries part of the burger meal. They gave it to the person ahead of me. read more

Late dinner love their healthier options :)

For a quick and fresh meal, I would choose Wendy's over any other Fast Food Chain. Believe me, with 5 kids, fast food is unfortunately a way of life sometimes. With Wendy's, I know that the quality of the food is good and the value is great. My favorite is the Berry salad. I have it whenever I am craving salad and don't have time to make one. My kids like the Fries and Chicken Tenders. And the Frosty, well, who wouldn't like the Chocolate Frosty? read more

Been coming here for a long time. The staff really bend over backwards to be nice and I appreciate that. It's a homey atmosphere even when very crowded and I enjoy going there. The place is clean and the food really ain't bad either. I like the value menu and usually get away for very reasonable. One of my spots. read more
