Food? Good. Atmosphere? Good. Pricing? Good. Would I eat here again? Yes.

I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich, medium fries, and a medium Fanta. Wait was short, and the service was pretty good.

That’s a fancy looking fast food joint.

That is quite some mid-century modern revival architecture for a Wendy’s.

There was a line out the door. Otherwise, I would have.

The one in my town is not even remotely modernized yet. Still just like it was in... the early 80s? I don’t know, whenever it was built.

This one was built within the last six months, so everything is very new and very nice.

There’s still some extremely old ones here.

Wendy’s in the 80s had tables with old timey newspaper-looking stuff printed on the tabletops.

The tables are melamine at this point, but they have pretty much exactly those chairs.

The local news was reporting that Wendy’s is spending over $10,000,000 in NC for renovations.

This is McDonalds in Freeport Maine

That's probably how old the food is, too.

Historic building codes FTW. I approve.

Head down to FuVar and hit the BoJangles...or the Chick-Fil-A there on NC 55....

Well, their Baconators/etc. are just as greasy-spoonishly good (?) as any other Wendy’s.

In Biltmore Village, Asheville, NC:

It’s the only McD’s I’m aware of with a player piano.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that it isn’t playing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.

Most of the times I’ve been in there they haven’t had it playing. That wouldn’t be too far down the list, though. I think it might have been playing The Entertainer on one occasion, but I honestly can’t remember what I’ve heard from it for certain.

Most of the Wendy’s in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area are getting remodeled also. It looks much better than the old Wendy’s, although I can’t quite figure out the point of the fake fireplace.

Best part about the modern Wendy's? Most of them have the Coke Freestyle machines, which means if I can think it up, the machine can pretty much make it.

Was there a 106 machine? The facelifted Wendy’s we stopped at in Scottsboro last month had one, if I recall correctly.

Got nothing on this McDonalds, complete with chandeleiers

Yeah, the Dairy Queens are quite shit now....

Mc Ds have become better though.

the one by me has a fireplace. it definitley makes cheap food taste better also the soda machines with all the flavors.

I hate BoJangles (revoke my North Carolinian card), and I work at a Chick-Fil-A, so I wanted to change it up a bit. There’s actually two CFA’s on 55, one in Holly Springs, the other in Apex.

Yes there was. Those are the best things in the world.

Probably the best McDonald’s I have been to.

That is a classy fast food establishment.

OK, you’re off the hook :) Bo can be really hit and miss; the one on Chatham St in Cary is usually good; I’ve been to some that were downright foul.

I’m going to Kings Dominian in two weeks with my workmates, and we’re stopping at Bojangles. I’m already dreading this.

Wow, snazzy.

This is about as fancy as Wendy’s gets near me. If memory serves, it looked something like this before its last renovation:

P.S. BRB, gone to Wendy’s.
