I remember when this was the first in the city many years ago. It went through a major renovation in the last few years, but the food quality is appalling. POS was not working in the drivethru so had to go inside. The pop machine...does not appear to have been working, no ice and flat lukewarm pop. The food was nothing for them to be proud of. Most was thrown out as it was cold.More

Wendy's provides consistently good fast food. My wife is not a big eater so the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from the value menu is her choice. I'm happy with Dave's cheeseburger and we share fries. Only thing missing is onion rings from the menu. The apple...pecan salad is great. They will replace the blue cheese with feta. When the store was renovated they reduced the seating area. However it was not an issue the time we visited.More

I was just in the area doing some errands and popped in here for some lunch. The location is in a busy area on Upper James and it can sometimes be a bit difficult to get here if you're trying to make a left hand...turn depending on the time of day. This is a historic Wendy's because it is the location of the first Wendy's in Canada. (Hamilton is a first for these things, having the first Tim Horton's too). There is a plaque near the door stating just that. The restaurant itself has gone through a recent (and much needed) remodel, which has made the service far more efficient, this place used to be notoriously slow. The food is typical for Wendy's, but one of the things I like is their drink dispensing machine which lets you have dozens of different options like a Raspberry Coke or a Vanilla Barq's Rootbeer. (And you can mix those together if you want). Good fast food option for sure if you're in the area and they're now offering delivery through SkipTheDishes.More

I am giving this a 5 star because out of all the fast food places such as Mcdonalds, Burger King, etc. I find that Wendy’s has the best fast food based on chicken strips. I am chicken strips fan. I always order the chicken strip...combo with the sweet and sour sauce, it is delicious. Their frostys are also very good, especially when they had the butterfinger frosty(don’t know if they still have that).More

When I want a burger fast I like Wendy's baconator, fries and a frosty. My hubby likes a tripple cheese with bacon combo. The fries are so good. Service is usually quite fast.

They totally stripped out the old building and build a nice fresh restaurant. Yes it is fast food but it delivers what you want, food you expected with consistent quality, quaikly and with good service.

This was the first Wendys in Canada and was recently upgraded to the latest corporate design. Now, instore customers do not play second fiddle to drive through customers as is the case with most fast food places.

I think it's wonderful to dine at the original Wendy's and they have a wonderful little lady on staff I think of as Mrs.Claus she is a delight and still working!Plus who doesn't enjoy a Junior Bacon cheeseburger and a great milkshake!
