Fast food places are supposed to be standardized everywhere you go - that is, when you get a Baconator in Sudbury, it shouldn't be any different from one you'd get in Windsor. That being said, this Wendy's doesn't stick out all that much in terms of food quality, but where this place really shines is its walk-in window open until 4am every day. This has been next to lifesaving for curbing my late-night fast food cravings. It is well-staffed and the sandwiches are made pretty well too, unlike the McDonalds down Oxford (see my other review).

I'm not much of a fan of fast food. So when I'm getting the hunger attacks and need a quick fix, Wendy's is my preferred go-to joint.
What I like about this particular location is that they are open until 4:00 am nightly, it's close to home, and the customer service there is good. I wind up there about 5 or 6 times a month and have yet to deal with an unpleasant employee. Good on you Wendy's on Oxford!!! That's pretty uncommon in this day and age, unfortunately.
My only gripe about this place is a recurring one. Usually on about 1 out of 4 visits, my order is given to me incorrectly. I use the drive through so by the time I get home and figure it out, it isn't worth it to me to go back. Before I leave the window I do check the bag to make sure the items I ordered are in there now (before I did not and would on occasion get home to find the fries or whatnot were missing). But usually the mistakes are not obvious until you are eating. For example: yesterday I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich combo with extra pickles. The drive thru girl rang it in just as I ordered. As I drove away I started munching on the fries - which were not hot - but accepted and kept on going. At home I opened the sandwich to find a heap of mayo! I found it strange but figured someone just went a little overboard. Nope. There were zero pickles on the sandwich but lots o' mayo. On top of that the chicken was so dry that the breading was actually lifting off of it when I bit down. I could assume that they mixed up my order with another but there were no cars before or after me in the drive thru. I really think - based on the frequency of incidents like this - that there must be someone in the kitchen with a limitation such as illiteracy. (It's like they recognize the extra symbol but can't read what to put extra of so they just guess.) I do have empathy for them. However, I realize that each time I go I spend around $8.00 for my meal. Sit-down chains that also serve takeout like Crabby Joe's and Red Lobster charge about the same price for a healthier lunch. And then there are all of the mom and pop places too.
I guess my issue is that while I like the convenience of Wendy's I have a higher chance of being satisfied someplace else, as do you if you'd like to eat what you actually order.
Customer Service: 4 stars
