Since my family and I were traveling with a young toddler, we decided to stop by this Wendy’s for breakfast due to its proximity. We didn’t want to spend too much time searching for a place to eat, and we wanted our son to have something quickly.
There was only one breakfast option available that didn’t contain pork, which was surprising—especially considering the variety most places now offer. That said, I don’t usually eat out often, as I prefer preparing my own food, Alhamdullillāh, so I’m not always familiar with what’s on the menu at places like this.
The server was very polite and genuinely seemed eager to help, though I found it a bit funny when she didn’t seem to realize that sausage and bacon are both pork products. For clarity: I understand bacon can be made from turkey or other alternatives, but when it’s not specified, I assume it’s pork. So when I asked if they had any non-pork breakfast options, she responded with, “You can do the bacon,” and I was like, “That’s pork,” and she smiled and said, “Oh yeah, that’s pork.” I don’t hold it against her—she seemed young and friendly—but Wendy’s should consider offering more non-pork options and providing better training in this area.
We ordered the chicken and honey biscuit, and I asked for honey mustard on the side. The chicken, to me, seemed undercooked, and the honey mustard had a very strange smell—almost like kerosene, Subhān Allāh. My family and I couldn’t bring ourselves to eat it.
We also ordered some drinks that I thought were healthy options based on their names (similar to the fruit-based drinks you might find at Chipotle), but they turned out to be extremely sweet. Even after adding a good amount of water to dilute them, they were still too sugary for us. But to be fair, my family and I don’t really have a sweet tooth, so others might enjoy them more—Allāhu Aʿlam.
In the end, I gave the service and atmosphere a three, mainly because the young lady at the counter was kind, polite, and sincerely seemed to want to help.
