To be honest, I never had an issue with the service from this particular location. Seeing as how other people's reviews here are on the rather negative side, I thought I'd step up and provide my input. First off, as you all well know, this is fast food my friends. What do you expect? And as for it being fast food, these people are doing a rather decent job at it I might add. Yes, you can sense at times that some of them don't want to be there. But let's be honest though. Do you truly want to be where you're working at too? For most of us, I'd consider that a no. So, cut these good folks some slack. Ok, so now that that's out of the way, here's my review... On the aesthetic side, I find the architectural remodeling rather pleasing to the eye. That goes for both inside and outside of this establishment. I particularly like the way the front of the building facing the highway lights up at night. That is truly impressive in my book. Stepping inside, I am rather amazed by the openness that surrounds me. In the dining area, it doesn't feel like you're boxed in. There's room to move and stretch out if you'd like. What I am particularly fond of most is the seating area adjacent to the parking lot. From there you have a good view of the surrounding businesses and traffic from along the highway. And don't forget those picturesque views at sundown. The problem is most of us are too busy to scarf our meals that we take this for granted. To them I say, put that burger down and look around. You might actually be surprised with what you've been missing all this time. In regards to the interior decor, I like the overall layout. It is simplistic in it's approach, yet stylishly modern. One thing that strikes me odd is the TV running at the same time as background music is playing. Unless if the set is showing accompanying music videos, it makes no sense to having both on. I'd suggest removing the TV altogether as I highly doubt anyone is paying attention to it anyway. As for the staff itself, they're doing a fine job I must say. Very accomodating and respond rather quickly in fulfilling orders placed. Mind you, this is during lesser peak times. But even when faced with a higher volume of guests, I notice that the line still runs relatively smooth. In conclusion, I would just like to say the following... Everytime I have made a visit to this particular Wendy's location, the service has been excellent. No complaints whatsoever. They're serving typical fast food of which they do well. Hopefully there are some fellow Yelpers out there who can see beyond the basics (fast food, what a shocker) and comment on other aspects of this establishment. Of course, that's without posting just for the sole purpose of making a complaint. Avoiding run-on sentences in the process would be a much more welcomed approach here as well. To the staff and management, it's as simple as this... You're doing great. Keep up the good work. read more

Was cool that they gave us hot nuggets but the cold fries were not appreciated. Then would not take them back. So glad we went thanks for nothing. Won't be back read more

Missing food, was mean to me 1 star if I could give zero stars I 100 would we needed to order somewhere else needs to be shut down

They Always Forget Peoples Orders Like Something Its The Worst Wendy's I Been To Never Coming Back Even They Had Rude Service

When I came to Wendy's I tried the baconator it was so good I loved definitely coming back again

Horrible service, it was 9AM and they had the worst attitudes, no patience and gave us burnt food.

If I could give it zero stars I would. This place should be SHUT DOWN! I ordered chili today, when I settled home to eat. I felt something hard at the bottom of the chili cup. I started digging and I noticed it was badly burnt chopped up old hamburger meat. It looked hard as a rock and they are actually serving old meat to people. I should've known better because it's dirty inside and the drivethru takes forever even when it's fully staffed. Please avoid this place at ALL COSTS! read more

Since the stopped serving VANILLA , they stopped serving me! Who has gone for out for Ice cream, and been told they don't carry vanilla, only Strawberry and chocolate. Sneeze!! The most popular ice cream in the USA is VANILLA and followed by chocolate!! Strawberry is way down in the list. What were they thinking?! Wendy's!!! Think of all the customers you lost! And will continue to loose over this thoughtless act. VANILLA, tomorrow! Charlie Trexler read more

Takes way to long food is terrible , always gets my order messed up. I do not APPRECIATE this when I have 2 grandkids that are VERY hungry. 0-5 If I could. And look at my beautiful 4 year old grand daughters smile it was FLIPPED upside down after we ate those DISGUSTING fries, so DRY it is embarrassing. read more

Wendy's - My grand daughter. - Burgers Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

After waiting 5 minutes' my granddaughter says hello? They said to wait. We waited a few more minutes. Then I said hello? Said be with us in a moment Tenminures later with four cars waiting they take our order. When we checked, our order of baconator fries was missing. Went in to get them. No one acknowledged our presence at the counter. Finally, someone came and was apologetic. Then we get back in the car. We had the wrong sandwich. Too frustrated and hungry, we gave up and went home. Very poor Management, whom was working the drive thru. read more

Nobody was in the restaurant, had me waiting in line for over 10 minutes for nobody to answer.

We must get the half star removed. This place truly isn't worthy of the 1.5 rating, it deserves a 0. Just came through and ordered a baconator meal. Not a single other person inside or in the drive thru, but still managed to give me a plain burger with no cheese, onions and pickles. On what planet doesn't that sound remotely like a baconator? Fries were ice cold as were the Patties. Straight up lack of effort and whoever works Sunday evenings should be relieved of their duties read more

food is normally good, sometimes they mess up for not taking something off a burger but these past 2 times there were hair in my food. it was disgusting. read more

I never thought I would ever wish I had read the reviews for a Wendy's! This is a horrible place. Service was ridiculously slow in the drive through. My chicken sandwich was so overdone it wasn't even funny Avoid this Wendy's at all cost! read more

Longest wait, coldest food. Probably the worst wendys I've been to, ngl. Filler text ok

Completely dissatisfied! I ordered a double Bourbon Cheeseburger meal. What I received was a chicken sandwich meal. I had time so I took it back. The kids behind the counter were joking and laughing and not paying too much attention to what they were doing. I finally got in touch with the manager and they get my burger. I get home and the burger bun is hard and crunchy and the burgers were dried out. It isn't the first time I had sub par food from this restaurant. read more

yesterday, i went around 7 pm, the horrible service was by the drive thru, they made me wait for more than 15 minutes. they were going to give the fresh food worth the wait. manager must be pending on the quality of the food, don't vire since time was counted. read more

Stay away from this store their management is horrible. Got home our order must have been mixed up with someone else. Immediatly called the store and was rudely treated by a female manager. We never received a receipt. She said she had our receipt and we got what we ordered . It was not even stuff I would ever eat. She would not make good for it. I gave a call to the corporate customer service and they could have given a rats ass. They also would not offer to make the order right. I question the reason that she supposedly had out receipt . I will never go back here again. Just another fine example of our decline in customer service. read more

This is not my first issue with this same Wendy's. I dont know why I even go back. Had a coupon for a free 10 pc nugget with any purchase. The so called manager Arriana store # 6409 stats her system isn't accepting coupons. So I explain that is not my issue coupon need to be honor. She went on to discuss some sort of coupon option then back tracked and said there is nothing she could do for me. Great customer service. Handed my card back no thank you have a good day nothing. The inside is gross fee weeks ago there were flies all over. Reached out to corporate they took my complaint and never heard from them again no action taken. It starts with leadership and clearly this place has none. Will be filing a dispute with the BBB read more

Easily the best Wendy's in the Reading Area, and that's after years of Wendy's disappointing me. The inside is always clean, and has a more modern look than many other Wendy's in the area. Burgers taste much better than any other fast food burger offering in the area. At times, their burgers almost taste dinner quality. If you're on Fifth Street and you need a quick snack, this particular Wendys should be where you stop read more

18 minute wait in the drive-thru with only 2 cars ahead of us. They boy who took our order was rude and impatient. Out of the 3 drinks we ordered they were out of 2 of them. Then they proceeded to forget half of our order and when we brought that to their attention it was almost as if it were a pain in the ass for them to go get the items necessary to complete our order correctly. They also provided no receipt. I'll assume that was so I wouldn't have an order number to use to file a complaint with. Absolutely awful experience. read more

Yo omg I PERSONALLY watch a manager drop raw bacon in the chicken grease I was so disgusted I'm a Muslim so this was a violation on many levels that was gross I didn't want anything else from there ever since at least nothing that goes in the grease SMH even if you want to disregard religion that still cross-contamination on multiple levels and there's a few Employee's that work there that are quite slick with the mouth but they pick and choose who to get smart with read more

Please avoid this wendys at all cost I had nothing but bad experience at this lovation i ask for a spicy chichen and got a salty chicken..smh for shame wendys for shame read more

Honestly a 1 star is probably being too kind... made us wait in line for 10 minutes in the drive thru to tell us that they had no card machine... waited another 10 for them to even take our order and to top it off our food was completely cold. How hard is it to give your customers warm food? read more

My family and friends all really love Wendy's. This particular one, notsomuch. Recent drive-through experience resulted in a long wait, unfriendly service and being overcharged. We finally ordered after a very long wait for only 2 cars in front of us. Our hot sandwiches were cold and our Frostyccino's were warm with very little Frosty added; They tasted like day old coffee with some warm milk and ice added. Window drive through staff was disinterested and acting as if we were bothering her. Avoid this Wendy's as it seems to get a bit worse every week. read more

I can't judge the food at this location. I never got to eat. It looks like a really nice place. It seemed clean but I went to use the bathroom before I got in line. There was a mouse running around the toilet. Sorry but I'm not eating there. If the mice got into the bathroom I can only guess how many are in the kitchen. read more

I like the quality of the Wend's product.. However, this location is the worst I ever have been in. The place is not that old, but one visit inside will convince you not to stay. The only thing that is apparently clean in the floor. Cleaniless of the table bases have never been cleaned, filth lu and rusty. The dinniing room walls need painting, never cleaned.. behind the counter are the fryers and are filthy, old fries all over the place.. walls are dirthy, window filthy and it does not appear welcoming... service is extremely slow and no effort in getting the job come. No motivation.. there are two other Wendy locations some miles away (hamburg and pottsville which I frequent) and it different as night and day. Kudos to those locations for I will not stop at this location. read more

Very disappointed in this Wendy's location! The cashier had no listening skills. She messed up my order, I said dine in, she made my order to go. When I got the food, it didn't have a burger patty and didn't have the coleslaw in it. When I went up to tell her, she was like, oh we out of coleslaw. She didn't bother to tell me before I ordered my pulled pork cheeseburger. The pulled pork was not hot, it was room temperature. The buns were stale. I ended up throwing it away. read more

This place was absolutely filthy, its unfortunate that the lowest you can go is one star. Everything was covered with grease, appeared that nothing has been clean in a while. Huge puddles of water left for over 20 minutes on the floor, by the soda area that the workers gave nothing but a sign saying watch out. Tables has trash left all over (cups, french fries, ect). Bringing up personal issues in front of child customers. Burgers overcooked, windows and glass doors disgusting. Lets just say Im glad I didnt have to use the restroom, and brought my own hand sanitizer. read more

Again! Disappointed and mad! I had to stay in the drive thru for 10 minutes and receive no service. After being in the line, no one came to take the order. I had to drive away. 3 years ago, they had a big fly in a salad and refunded the money. The location has now been remodeled but it looks like the same bad service has remained. I'll never go to this location again. Horrible! read more

To start, the women behind the counter forget a small fry for my order. Then proceeded to place my baconator fries in the bag without a lid. After realizing what she had done, she removed the fries to then continue to take a piece of bacon from the fries. My friend also orderd and had said her order was to-go, however they placed her order on a tray. Bad service, would not come again. read more

Not even 1 star. Order was delivered with wrong and food smelled like burnt hair. Awful smell and taste was so gross I threw it in he trash. I ate NOTHING for dinner today. Thanks for the consideration, Wendy's. Never had this issue when Dave Thomas was alive. No, I don't want a replacement meal. I want the employees responsible for this nauseating meal to eat it. I challenge them to hold it down for even 60 seconds. YUCK! read more

My husband and my in laws and I all went to eat at Wendy's tonight for dinner. When it came time to pay the girl behind the counter did not know how to give out the right amount of change back. Then when it came time for the drinks my in laws had to get ice from behind the counter because the ice machine had no ice and not one employee filled it while we where there and the drink that my mother in law wanted was out and again nobody could fix it. When it came time to eat my father in law got a small cheese burger and the burger was only half the size of the bun like they cut it in half only gave him half a burger. My husband and mother in law well they had cold sandwiches my husband got a triple and all the meat was not heated probably and my mother in law got a bacon cheese burger and her bacon and burger was cold. We didn't have time to complain about it because I don't think there was a manager on shift and if there was he or she obviously can't do the job right. I got a cherry berry tea and it was semi warm and it didn't have a really good taste so I don't think we will ever eat at this Wendy's or tell anyone about this Wendy's. We will go elsewhere from now on you just lost our business so maybe you should go through a class with your employees on how to fix things cook food properly and count change back the right way. I will not be giving any stars because well frankly you don't deserve them. read more
