Had an issue with a worker. and malik who was the night shift manager came through and helped diffuse the situation. He was very caring attentive and friendly. He is an awesome manager. He turned a bad situation into a positive. Today's society needs more people like malik.

Very quick and friendly service with a smile. We had to ask for another salad. We ordered a salad with meat on the side. They quickly, and gladly gave us the right one. Thank you high school kids. Great job. God Bless you all. Thanks Wendy's West Rome.

When we arrived today at 12:30 the store looked closed. Only 1 car in the parking lot. They was open, even there dine in. With only the manager and 1 employee. The manager was beyond polite and appologized for being so short handed. Food was perfect in EVERY way. As a RGM myself I understand the difficulties in the industry and appreciated the hard work, dedication, and the fresh food despite the hardship.

We enjoyed a drive-thru experience here during lunch time. They seem to have a promotion going on that guarantees fresh crispy fries! And I will say, our fries were hot and crispy! The service was about what you'd expect from a fast food location but it was nothing to be upset about! Happy I got to enjoy lunch here.
