New Article: Wendy’s 99-Cent Super Value Menu!

Somebody had to do it. Here's an extensive review of everything on Wendy's 99-cent "Super Value Menu," from cheeseburgers to baked potatoes, and yes, even chili. I don't mention it in the article, but the place actually managed to screw up an order as simple as "one of everything." After getting home and noticing three cans of chili and sorely missing fries, we had to actually go back to the drive-thru window and go through everything all over again. It wouldn't have been so bad, but if you just ordered "one of everything," would you really want to go back to the place five minutes later? All for the sake of faux journalism. Check the review.

Wendy’s fries are great, but only when they’re fresh AND cooked properly – which is not very often.

When Wendy’s fries are slightly cripsy on the outside and steaming hot, they are really good. Two minutes later, they’re cold and nasty. There is no transition period, they’re great or nasty.

McDonald’s fries are decent even when sitting under a hear lamp for a 1/2 hour.

I was *far* too frequent a customer at the local Wendy’s last summer, due to it’s proximity to the highway entrance on my way to work. It was that or eat at the expensive highway McD’s, really, since I worked at the damn ‘gift shop’ attached to it. (The Mohegan references kill me – I worked on I-95 between 61 and 62 and somehow people missed the GIANT SIGNS for the Casinos…)

Big fan of the Mandarin Chicken, must say, but last summer it was Jr Cheeseburger Deluxe (for the veggies on it, I pretended it was healthier), fries, coke. 2.98+tx. Seeing as that was only about…1/2 hrs work, or so, that was the best I could do.

Totally could have used this last summer, is what I’m saying. So tempted to go get dinner early…

"Do you know where they get the meat for the chili? When they make too many burger patties during the day (exceed the demand), they throw them in a bucket, where they fester at room temperature all day, then at the end of the night they chop them all up and put them in the chili. Health code anyone?"

That’s not true, Once it starts to burn, it gets pulled and placed in a heat drawer, where it’s kept between 140 and 160 degrees for up to 4 hours (the same heat drawer that mcdonalds and burger king store their meat in ALL DAY)

Then, it’s rinsed off in the sink, bagged up and frozen. The next day, it’s boiled, drained of water and grease, chopped up, placed in the chili and cooked at 160 degrees for 4 hours.

You won’t find healthier meat anywhere.

Where’s the chili, chips and cheese?

Chestnuts roasted by JasonP @ 09/05/2003 4:25 PM

Chill best on menu?

I hope you guys know that the chilly is the left over meat and burned meat off the grill over the course of the day and when they close. It is by far the nastiest process I have ever seen.

Chestnuts roasted by Ex Employee @ 09/05/2003 4:59 PM

I’d just like to add that my Wendy’s also messes up 90% of my orders, and when you go back and try to get the rest of your food, they are INSOLENT.

Chestnuts roasted by i was a lion @ 09/05/2003 5:08 PM

I need a followup story. What did you do with all that food, Matty? You didn’t just throw it out, even if it was just .99$ menu fare, it still is food, and somebody could’ve eaten it… Sorry to turn all serious on you guys =^^=;;

Chestnuts roasted by jjgoreha @ 09/05/2003 5:46 PM

So….

What the hell is a Furskin, anyway? I hope to God it’s not anything like "foreskin."

In Texas most Wendy’s have a 99-cent burger called the 1/4 lb. Texas Double Cheeseburger

It’s 2 deliciously greasy patties of beef(?), plus cheese, slice of giant tomato, hunk o’ lettuce, onion + condiments.

It’s truly worth 99 cents!

Also – if you ever go to Wendy’s and want to truly test your ability to ingest grease – try eating a TRIPLE WITH CHEESE. (thats 3/4 lb of meat + cheese + enough grease to make them wrap it three times in aluminum/paper and still be greasy.) You can practically see through the wrapper it’s so greasy.

That chili equals the coolness. I used to get a cup a day. Then I got really bad farts. I still get a cup a day.

Chestnuts roasted by Bansheex @ 09/05/2003 6:15 PM

Hate to double-post, but, EEE! Thank you for un-banning me Matt. I promise to be good.

Chestnuts roasted by Bansheex @ 09/05/2003 6:16 PM

You know why you got screwed? You’re Wendy’s doesn’t have 99cent Texas Double Cheeseburgers, now that’s a damn fine burger

Chestnuts roasted by Bum @ 09/05/2003 6:25 PM

I’d love to read your review on the entire Taco Bell menu :D

Raptor eggs…teehee.

Chestnuts roasted by Wreny @ 09/05/2003 6:39 PM

When I started Wendys, it was just the ground up flesh of my daughter in those burgers… and that was some good eating. Now that im dead, with each bite of "burger" you are guaranteed to get a piece of me, Dave Thomas.

Here’s something usefull, mix some wiskey with that frosty, and voila instant icy-irishcream. (this is actually very good) Go ahead..get some fine canadian wiskey(or irish) about a mickey and get the biggest supersized cup and mix….mmm icy drunkeness

Funny that others have stories of being skimped on by Wendy’s. Wendy’s is the only place near my workplace that’s halfways decent to eat, and I always order the same thing, the 1/4pound single combo. Probably 1 time out of 5 they accidentally give me adouble instead.

A Wendy’s in Haines City, Florida has the best picture ever: an obviously hung over Dave Thomas shaking the hand of the manager. He looks about 3 seconds from hurling all over the guy.

FURSKINS FURSKINS FURSKINS FORESKINS FURSKINS! Great little secret commercial. Was it a secret? Or am I just an idiot for not knowing ahead of time. Only time will tell.

First off, Matt, the best slang term I have found for a ten-dollar bill is "ten-spot".

Now on to TEH WENDY’S GOODNESS!

I looove the Jr Bacon. I always get two of them. They’re yummy. The chili is also excellent. In spite of the people whining about it being leftover hamburgers, blah blah, since they didn’t take the trouble to read that fifty other people had already posted the same thing, it still TASTES good. I usually hate chili. But I like Wendy’s chili.

And the frosties. Oooohhhh, the FROSTIES. They must have done something terrible to yours, because mine are always so thick I can’t drink ‘em with a straw. I actually had a straw not just collapse, but actually *start to turn inside out* once because I was trying so hard to drink it instead of spoon it.

I love my local Wendy’s. The service rocks, they’ve NEVER messed up my order, they’re exceedingly friendly, clean and well-organized, the food tastes great ALWAYS… I don’t know what the rest of you fuckers are talking about. :P

Although McDonalds, yes, has the best fries.

In closing, I’d like to say, Matt, PLEASE do an article about Burple!!

Obviously those extolling the virtues of triples with cheese have never heard of the add bacon button. Get it with bacon, you wuss.

U.S. Money Slang 101: A five-dollar bill is a FIN; a ten-dollar bill is a SAWBUCK; and a twenty-dollar bill is a DOUBLE SAWBUCK. Class dismissed.

Chestnuts roasted by texas-tommy @ 09/06/2003 12:45 PM

Dammit, tommy, you stole my lesson plan for the day.

Also, I like Wendy’s, but I have an issue with their doubles. And I’m assuming their triples too, but I never tried one so I don’t know. Why is it a classic double with cheese only has one slice of cheese on it? Am I the only person who thinks a double cheeseburger should have double the cheese?
Yes, it’s true, I have no respect for my circulatory system. In fact, I think my blood has been replaced by gravy. Maybe cheese sauce.

Well, now I feel bad for saying that a couple of the Wendy’s Spicy Chicken burgers I’ve had recently tasted a little stale, because, apparently, most people here have much crappier Wendy’s experiences. All I can say is that the Wendy’s location on Peel in downtown Montreal is cleaner than most of the downtown Harvey’s locations, and at least one of the Burger Kings, though the McDonald’s restaurants are the absolute cleanest ones downtown of the major burger chains. At least the stuff I order from Wendy’s is satisfactory to above average (by burger place standards) 95% of the time… maybe they just got a bad batch of spicy chicken patties. For burgers, Wendy’s is about tied with McDonald’s as the best burger place for my tastes. (Do I have crappy tastes, or what? Well, I just happen to like fried patties more than flame broiled… what can I say? Also, we don’t have some of the smaller, supposedly better, chains like Sonic in Montreal…)
