Thumb Clean Probably the most iconic Wendy's in The Bay, if not maybe the country, due to the infamous "Chili Finger" hoax. For those not in the know, some crazy lady claimed to have found a piece of a finger in her Wendy's Chili and tried to sue. Anyways, long story short Wendy's fought it, did a bunch of investigating, and eventually it was discovered she and her husband bought the finger off a friend who lost it in an industrial accident. They (Wendy's) pressed charges, she's found guilty, and goes to jail. Google "Anna Ayala" for more fascinating details. This location has also been here for years. I've been working in the area for +24 years, and can always recall it being there. The Good: *Speaking of their chili, it really is my favorite fast food chili. It's all I get. That and an order of fries. They have good fries. If I'm really feeling like a fat ass, then I'll add a Chocolate Frosty®. Those are really fucking good. *Friendly service *Drive-thru The Meh: *Need code for restroom The Ugly: *Located in the 'hood. So lock ya ca'h, kid. Conclusion: Probably my favorite fast food meal, right behind McShitz™ McNuggies and Fries. read more

I went on Thursday the 23 of April 2026. The woman at the drive through was so nice and such amazing work etiquette. I got a frostee and a Burger. The frostee is just as good as I remember it. read more

if you want something cheap AND fast, you can't go wrong with Wendy's. just don't expect a gourmet meal, special treatment, or fancy dining. "sir, this is Wendy's." you already know you're here for something easy. go somewhere else, pay more, wait more, get less variety, and/or get less food if this isn't good enough for you. this place knows what it is, and it does it well! read more

Wendy's - #7 meal - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

i HATE WENDERS. I came in last week n my grandpa took me here in 2024 to get the baconator and new fries. IT WAS NOT FREESH. My buns tasted like shoe leather and fry and black. there was so condomments and because the hammy had been siting the cheese melted. I hate it here, will forever go to the big dough burger. Slso very unhealthy food is filled with ultraprocessed junk not worth my time bullshit read more

I did a mobile order for pick up. When I arrived, one staff was at the register helping someone else and several other workers, but no one bothered even looking my way. It was a little annoying as one staff was just walking around doing nothing and she still didn't offer any help. It wasn't until the cashier was completely done, that she helped me and my mobile order was already packed up and ready. Hot honey chicken sandwich: chicken was dry. Definitely has a kick. Not enough sauce and honey Spicy big bacon cheddar chicken: chicken was dry. Bacon jam was delish, but it needed more. The fried pickles on here were really good too. read more

Guess who used to be a fast food shift mgr? That's me, decades ago. Back in the old days of the 12-6 turn and lay. Anyway, I stopped at Wendy's for quick burger. And hey, it was pretty good! Cooked fresh, obviously by an experienced grill person. Cheese melted to give it that creamy goodness. Condiments added neatly, well done. The small Fries were slightly off. They were good, but a tad dry. And that's caused by? The frozen potatoes were allowed to thaw, and weren't frozen when they hit the hot oil. It's a warm day, it's hard to keep them frozen. You get 4 stars, drive thru was fast and friendly read more

Great service every visit! Used the drive through per visit where my experience with the staff are always welcome and gets my order right. Quick and efficient read more

I usually dont leave reviews for fast food but i haven't received a wrong or bad order from this location ever. The manager runs a tight ship and I have never had a bad experience here. Everytime i order a nugget party pack the nuggets are freshly made. read more

Worst Wendys EVER. Took my grandson to try the new fries, and ordered the baconator as well. The burger was NOT freshly made! It came out luke warm, patties tasted like shoes leather - dry and black - there was no condiments on it at all - no ketchup or sauce of any kind - and because the hamburger had been sitting so long the cheese melted into nothing. Total waste of the OVER the $20.00 this experience cost me. If they had negative stars that is how I would rate it. read more

I really like these guys at this Wendy's. One thing I like is once you pay for your meal they give it to you almost instantly. This is real fast food. They always are happy and smile a lot. I usually go through the drive thru so I don't go inside much. However, they recently remodeled and it looks great. read more

One thumb up--- no, really, I found it in my chili. Obviously that is a joke: In 2005, this Wendy's made international headlines when a lady placed her husband's co-worker's severed finger into her chili, claiming she was served the bonus meat. She served four of nine years and is no longer allowed to enter the restaurant. So she won't be back. Fingers crossed. I would love to talk to her but I don't have her digits. I didn't have any problems using the drive-thru of this World Famous Wendy's. Except my Diet Coke was flat. Pinky swear. read more

I've been going to this location for a long time. For a while, they've had the best meal deal, hands down (available in the Wendy's app): a small bacon cheeseburger, 4 chicken nuggets + ghost pepper sauce, small fries, large soda (upgraded for pennies from a small), often a bonus (free) small chili or large fries and any app rewards food you want to redeem for a very low price. They have 2 (!) Freestyle Coca Cola machines. The bacon cheeseburger isn't skimpy, either, including significant lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. I just love it. Meal in photo was $6.07 ($5.55 + tax). Bonus large fries was available that day. read more

Stopped by on Friday night around 8:30pm and it was very crowded & drive thru was also very busy so I went inside. One cashier and man in front of me having an issue ordering. Young man (Saul) who was putting orders together saw me waiting. Saul opened another register took my order recommended another way to order to save me some money. Saul then went back to putting orders together & working with French fry cooking. The kitchen was busy but he updated me on my order. Got my order and he thanked ME. I should thank HIM for caring about me and this young man is going places. (I asked him his name at the end). I also mentioned to manager this young man is great. Btw the food I ordered for my grandson he really enjoyed. THANK YOU SAUL!! read more

How do u sale breakfast sandwiches but no honey or jelly?? Smh no one eats a breakfast sandwich with syrup

First of all, the prices for the food here is outrageous. It's probably the highest of all the fast food chains. A burger, frie, and a drink is ridiculous. Same with the breakfast. Itslike the upgraded all their restaurants, and came out with this new menu, but push off the cost to do all this to us the customers. And Breakfast! Don't know if all Wendy's times are like this, but this location is.... Why the hell would you open for breakfast at 9am!!!??? Most kids are already in school and most people that have to work in rhe morning are already at work.who thw hell opens for breakfast that damn late. Hell most places stop severing breakfast at 10am and hour after you open. And no that's not your strategy to serve when others are not. Its simply laziness, saving money, and not giving a damn about the customers and community you operate in. But its okay. There's a reason why you don't jave as many chains or as big as other places, ao just keep operating the same. I'm sure people will keep helping you pay for your new buildings changes and new menu. I won't!!! read more

This location is decent in terms of quality and their food always seems to be fresh when you order it. My favorite time to come here is breakfast because I really enjoy their potato wedges. The breakfast baconator is delicious and it's not as greasy as the burger version. If you eat here, be sure to use their app because they have plenty of offers and rewards that can save you a lot of money. read more

Wow!! I am absolutely amazed by the customer service a young man named "Saul" was our cashier he was so kind and greeted us with a big smile!

Pulled into Wendy's to get a quick bite to eat before heading home. The employee at the register was friendly and helpful when taking my order. It seamed quiet considering it was Friday night. This Wendy's in a convenient location right off of Monterey close to downtown. My spicy chicken sandwich tasted really good and it was a good size chicken patty. I ordered the small fries but it was the perfect amount. read more

Wendy'a needs to go back to using plastic containers. Not sure why a 4 piece chicken nugget by itself is held within a container that is clearly meant for larger food's read more

How you closed as soon as I pull in the driveway, but you're sign says EVERYDAY drive try open until 1am..it's 12:12am.

I went here because i bought stock and it has been quite some time since i ate at a wendys. Pretty much interesting people eat herr. There was a woman that took a bunch of napkins forks and spoons when the staff was not looking and then asked the guy for a lot of condiments and she begged some drunk guy for money. The drunk guy had a conversation to himself. Now for the real review. The service was good as the guy took my order and food came out at a fast time. I ordered the pretzel bacon cheeseburger with strawberry lemonade and fries. Overall the meal eas good. The burger patty was a little dry but the bread was great. A little small for me but maybe it is a good thing since i am trying to reduce my food intake bathrooms was clean and had to wash my hands due to the lady taking the napkins. I would rather pay the extra money and go to five guys read more

Wendy's - Pretzel cheesrburger - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

It's 1130am I was craving a jr cheese burger. I came by for lunch I was in the nieborhood. I'm giving 4 stars because they forgot my jr cheese burger. 4 for 4 not 3 for 4. I think they gave me more chili to make up for my jr cheese burger. I should of checked before I left. I don't want to waste more time driving back .so check your food. read more

I'm 0 for 2 at this place. I moved to the area a couple years ago. No one I'm my fam likes Wendy's greasy burgers so I never come here. I've only been here twice in two years, very infrequent. Both times they have charged me for food that I did not receive. Today I ordered a burger and small fries. Was charged over $8 and only got the burger. My fault for not looking in the bag. But still annoying af. I won't be back. There are loads better and healthier burgers elsewhere. read more

Wendy's - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

Food is good I haven't had any issues with the food itself. I work & live very close to this location so I eat here pretty often. I love Wendy's burgers wayyy better than any other fast burger place. The reason for the 1 star rating is because of the service I've received the last couple times. The employee named Jorge is just horrible. Both completely different times he messed up our order. The first time I thought maybe he is new the second time I realized Nope he is just horrible at his job. We went through drive-thru and first time he kept us waiting for what felt like 10 mins finally when we said hello three times he responded very rudely. He then rushed us through the whole thing. He talked over us and said "yea I know" when we corrected him .... obviously no he didn't know because he got our order wrong. When we pulled up to pay he kept our credit card with him he even walked away from the register we had to ask him for it. Both times he got our order wrong which makes us waste more time waiting at the window. The first time he got our order wrong he messed it up AGAIN we had to park and go inside to fix it. Such a headache dealing with this employee when we come to this Wendy's. If you decide to eat at this Wendy's and Jorge is still employed here, good luck! read more

I haven't had any problems with this location before. Giving it five stars because this particular Wendy's is what I would expect from any other Wendy's: No mistakes on my order, quick service on reasonable hours, and polite. Everything during COVID times is done via drive-thru so this means you cannot walk in to order. Easiest way for me is to just order online or through the app and just head over. Keep up the great work. read more

Wendys has been advertising Steak Bagels for a while now. Early Sunday morning I called them. The guy that answered the phone was CLUELESS and spoke about 6 words of English. I asked if they have steak bagel. He replied yes open at 7:00am. We drove all the way over there to find NO STEAK BAGELS!! Ended up with sausage sandwich, so spicy it was NOT edible. The potatoes were COLD as ice and spicy HOT. The ice coffee tasted like it was drained from the oil crankcase of the car!!! Wendys.... stick to Frostys!!! it' about the only thing on your menu that you don't screw up!!!! You also need a few employees that speak English. We vote 10 thumbs down. Worst breakfast I have ever ordered and it all went into the trash. What a waste of money. read more

Worse decision I've made when it comes to getting fast food I got my baconator fries and when I got home the bacon was super hard to bite and the cheese wasn't even on all the fries read more

Wendy's - a tray of fries and bacon - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

Customer Service here is mediocre, their food, not that great. I usually come here when I'm in a pinch and the only thing that brings me back is their chili. Yeah, its not that great either, but I like chili. read more

This location is obnoxiously bad. They were out of frostys and baked potatoes. My mother and I ordered our to-go orders separately and they switched our sandwiches. Thank goodness we were going to the same place or else I would have been pissed that they gave me the wrong sandwich. She asked for chili instead of fries and they gave her fries anyway. The fries were cold, soggy and bland. Wendy's totally failed. read more

The drive thru digital menu sucks because it literally advertises one single chicken sandwich but won't show you any burgers or anything. So if you don't know what you want or what new things they have before you pull in, you won't know what they are offering at all, except their stupid chicken sandwich read more

I've never eaten inside, just ordered through the drive through. I don't know if it's the location, but it's always never any line, never too busy and never takes long to receive our orders. No matter what we order we get it promptly compared to any other Wendy's I've ever been to. Recommend getting the grilled chicken-- the honey mustard goes well with the chicken, lettuce and tomato. The chicken is a tad bit dry though. The crispy chicken is usually juicier. read more

Wendy's - Single classic & fries. - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

This location is open now and has been completely remodeled and the staff is really friendly. I took a star off because my food wasn't hot but I had a really good experience - for a fast food spot. read more

I immediately came to the first fast food place near me after finishing my diet. The interior was alright, it was a little bit dingy and the frying oil kind of overwhelmed the whole place so I got my food to go. I ordered a large chili and and some fries. The chili was pretty good (it comes with crackers and you can order cheese for extra and usually other fast food places don't serve it) but the fries were kind of soggy. Usually Wendy's fries are really crispy and they're one of my favorite fast food fries. Overall, not a bad experience after my diet but I definitely would only come if I were craving for chili. read more

Don't go to this one. They don't serve freshly made chicken sandwiches, at least for me. I literally sat down and my food was ready, which may be good to some, but I'm not exaggerating when it took less than 3 minutes for it to be done; that is not ample amount of time to cook something and have it wrapped ready to serve. You know when the edges of food get hard/chewy after microwaving and then letting it cool down a bit? That's what that chicken felt like. There's no way that thing was fresh. I didn't ask for a new sandwich or a refund because I was so damn hungry and ate the whole thing, and didn't feel like putting my two cents in until after I was fed lol. But seriously, I asked her how long it took to cook a chicken sandwich, she said 7 minutes. Trust me, I took the time when I was at the register into consideration; that was part of the 3 minutes lolol did she just prove me right? Shut down or make your food right, or get better employees. Just saying. There are HANGRY people out here. I dont usually Yelp. But I paid 6 bucks for that ugly sandwich :/ read more
