Bacon Portabella Mushroom Melt

I always get sad when someone mentions these, because I get all excited for mushrooms on burgers, then I find out it's just up in Canada or whatever :negative:

Looking it up, they do have a pretzel baconator coming out here, I'll probably give that a try. I've been craving a big Wendy's burger lately, although I've been disappointed that their pretzel buns don't really taste noticeably different to me.

still think the queso burger is drat good, especially since i've actually been able to get the jalapeno bun the last two times i ordered it

was not impressed the one time i tried their pretzel bun, but i'd try it on a baconator sure

Finally made it to Wendy's, and not a pretzel bun to be had :sigh:
So, I just got a regular baconator. Those things are tasty - it'd been forever since I'd had one, what a beefy burger. I won't want to eat a cow for days.

I had the pretzel baconator because I hate myself and it was not really worth the pretzel bun imo. I'm a sucker for a good pretzel bun but the amount of meat in the sandwich really overpowers whatever the bun tastes like. I mean, it was delicious, but the different bun didn't add anything.

Got a spicy chicken sandwich. The chicken was paper thin and hard as hell. Queso fries were hard even though they were hot. No bueno. Shoulda hit up Popeyes.

1-cent burgers at Wendy’s? Can anyone with the app confirm this?

Yah, it's in my app. They also have a BOGO cheeseburger, and 1 cent drink, free 6nugs, and a 2 for $6..

Of course, you can only use one deal once, so it's pretty much just lower end stuff.

the breakfast burrito is real bad

like everything in it is just fine even if bacon ain't usually my thing for a sandwich or burrito but the tortilla is several magnitudes worse than a store-bought mission tortilla and ruins the entire point of the thing

Well that stinks, I don't like most of their breakfast stuff but I thought that one had a solid chance since it's the breads I usually dislike. I think I saw a coupon to get one for a couple bucks, maybe I'll still give it a try on the cheap, just in case.

I tried the breakfast burrito today, honestly I thought it was fine. I guess I'm more tolerant of fast food tortillas, but that part was better than the biscuits/croissants/English muffins on their breakfast sandwiches. It was also a lot bigger than I was expecting, I got a breakfast baconator too because I figured the burrito would be small, but it's a full breakfast on its own.

The baconator was better than I remembered - the filling's solid, and the buns seem weird for breakfast but they taste fine, putting them ahead of the other sandwiches. The funny thing is, the breakfast baconator seems unimpressively small compared to the regular one. I guess the breakfast toppings are more densely packed, but the sandwich just feels tiny compared to two slabs of beef.

There's a sign inside Wendy's that says "Service that doesn't cut corners"- I thought okay, great- but now I realize it's because the patties are square, not round :aaaaa:

They still have the iodized salt packets though. They changed from the classic double-barrel flip-and-tip to a standard rip-and-pour design though

This is a bad take. Sometimes I go to my local Meijer just because they have a freestyle. Wendy’s is the only place you can get a Sprite Zero Sugar with Ginger. McDonald’s is actively removing customer operated soda fountain in their remodels

Freestyles are awful abominations. They seemed okay at first, but now whatever drink you get tastes like the previous 5 drinks mixed in. My wife refuses to use them she dislikes them so much. Thankfully the places around here have been removing them and putting the old style machines back. Apparently changing out the flavor carts is too much work.

Freestyle is good because it accurately meters out the syrup so you don’t get lovely watered down soda because of a cheapskate franchise owner

I love freestyles, although I agree that if you go somewhere that doesn't clean them well (Wendys, Jack N the Box) it's a worse experience overall.

Normal fountain machines are trash too. Nothing more disheartening than seeing the clearly unmixed syrup and soda water alternately sloshing out of the dispenser :nallears:

I like the Freestyle machines in theory. They suck to use when you have someone waiting behind you and you have to navigate the stupid interface from a pre-iPhone early 2000s touchscreen phone.

speaking of freestyles and wendys and running out, i found it very funny a few weeks ago when they ran out of "vanilla"

like they had all their sodas and stuff, they just ran out of whatever goes into the vanilla freestyle cartridge
