- I've been to Wimpy and now it's time to try the US equivalent and give Wendy's a go, I've been asked by quite a few of you to give it a go so why not! Wendy's is an American international fast food restaurant chain founded by Dave Thomas in 1969 - so which one is better?

Thumbs up for the jacket potato comparison video 👍🏼
I was really hoping you wouldn't all be so keen! Lol
@GaryEats we are .... the humble jacket spud is the food of kings ... poor one's 😂 but kings all the same ... nowt like a gud un 👌 😎
I always like comparison videos.
Love a jacket potato especially In these austere times.❤
@kathyhayden2499 exactly ... can be topped with chilli, tuna mayo ... or marg n a bit of salt ... but tastes great 😊 whatever your budget it's hot tasty and comforting 😋
Hey Gary so here's the Canadian take on wendys near me. I've always just gotten a JBC and a sour cream and chives baked potato.
Wendys is known for having the best fast food bacon. The burgers are square because their slogan years ago ( before :where's the beef: was : we don't cut corners) your baconator looked much smaller than ours here. Your salad however looked top notch. Here they look like you bought them at a gas station. Beware here anyway the salads are usually more caloric than the infamous baconator.
My meal usually costs me 5.00 Canadian. Always satisfying and delicious. I start with the potato always because they microwave them.
They also have great wraps.
Your menu also offered items we do not have.
The frosty is called a malt here which most dip their fries into.
Glad you enjoyed your experience !!
You must be from Ontario.
What's JBC
Dip your fries in the thick shake?
Calgary @@EgilWar
Yes. Sure fo i just dont. Gravy mayo or dijon for me. Holland they bring you a bowl of applesauce @@brucethomas5123
Wendy's was my first job when I was at university. Burgers, chips, Frosty, and chili - that was the entire menu. And if they still stick to the same sort of cleaning discipline we were given, it really is one of the cleanest fast food places.
I think the spud challenge would be brilliant!
Wow great to hear and spud challenge coming soon
The "FROSTY" is a soft ice cream you eat with a spoon. The chocolate flavor is great,
Love to freeze the chocolate frosty, it's still a little soft 😋
Frostys are great with fries
Thank you!
disappointed with the Vanilla Frosty. Tasted too chemically. Dave's double was good, & fries were really good
@@ForzaMilan-di2zd no, not vanilla
Only chocolate
I didn't even know we had Wendy's in England! I'm certainly going to give it a go.
Give it a go!!
I have seen plenty of these Wendy's in the uk but there rubbish worse than McDonald's
@@jhonone484nothing is worse than McDonalds.
@@Codzilla71 I worked at McDonald's for 2 days and never ate a McDonald's again
@@Codzilla71 Their chips are lovely though
I’ve eaten at Wendy’s in the US since it opened and your meal looks better than what we get here 😆
True
For sure, Wendy’s here in States seems very sloppy compared to UK!
Probably better quality too with no growth hormones
But much lower cost.
Really? Wow that surprises me
Was just thinking the bacon looked much nicer than McDonalds, then you said it! If I see Wendy’s I might try it actually! Another great review Gary! 👌
Thank you very kind
Hi Gary, been watching your videos for a couple of months now, I'm a classically French trained Chef for over 40 years & love your proper honest opinions, it's obvious when you dislike something, you go red but still try to find a positive in the food, I love your passion for food but don't be shy of calling out the bad food, it's not your bad it's their bad, eg, German donner
Wow!
Been saying the same thing , I’m also a retired fine dinning Chef 👩🍳
Congratulations that is some accomplishment 👍 I do try to call restaurants out when it’s not good but definitely in a nice way 🤷♂️
@GaryEats thanks Gary, didn't expect a reply, if only more reviewers/ critics had your polite manner, keep up excellent reviews, all the best in reaching 100k
Not a problem, I reply to everyone as much as I can and I really appreciate your kind words - take care!@@user-ianiknak
Thanks for another great video gary always love watching you
Very kind Julie thank you 🙏
I went to the Wendy's in Kingston last week for the first time and was quite impressed. Price wise it's between McDonald's and Five Guys but I think it's the best value for money. The burger came with fresh ingredients and I was served almost instantly. I don't visit fast food places often but I will go again soon because it was clean and they serve quality products.
Apparently dipping your fries in a chocolate Frosty is a thing Americans do. Thank goodness they're over there and we're over here.
Don’t knock it till you try it!
Tried Five guys a couple of times recently after everyone speaking so highly of it, and really didnt get the hype - expensive and mine didnt seem very nice🤷♂️ Would be interested in Gary reviewing - or someone explaining where I’m going wrong!
The single burger is ok price...but they put up fries price so they not worth getting.
@@ManchesterKungFuno I'm with you there. Five guys was very underwhelming and expensive. Shake Shack are better, but not really worth the price either.
I use to dip my fries in my milkshake
You can’t get a jacket potato from Mac Donald’s, going to try Wendy’s looks lovely
In my view, Wendy is much better
well if you did it would be made of cardboard.......there bacon...yeeeuukk !! wendys looks fair !
N o Maccas
It’s far better then McDs 👍
Can you just buy the jacket potato on its own ,that looks filling enough ❤
Young Gary looking fresh with a smart haircut.
I have been trying to figure out his age. I would say mid sixties
@@expat3858I have Gary at early fifties.
@@expat3858I don't think this will get a like
@@expat3858he is not that old. Where did you get that from?
😮😮😮😮😮 mid sixties 😮😮😮😮😮 noooooooooo way
Ah man Wendy’s…. There used to be one on the corner of Gt Windmill St and Shaftesbury Ave in London. The square burger was a constant source of fascination. They were nice burgers, too.
It’s fascinating that McDonald’s became so dominant, given that if you put their burgers against BK and Wendy and Wimpy, they definitely come 4th 😂 there’s no accounting for taste.
Well, McDonald's was there first. I really think that's all. And their fries used to be really good back in the day, when they were cooked in beef fat. Now they're more run-of-the-mill.
There used to be one in the Strand too, the only one I went too. Much better than McD's, the square burger was novel.
Value, that's how mate.
@@strumbolli I reckon McDonald’s is all perceived value though. The size and flavour of their junk food is nowhere near as good as BK. Even though BK is more expensive
Interesting. I completely agree with you, McDonald’s is easily last but also the cheapest
Nice one Gary, great to see you on my home turf! Not been able to go into that Wendy's for a little while; it was a favourite of a friend who recently passed away, but your video cheered me up! Keep doing what you're doing 🥳
That is so nice to hear Richard and I’m really sorry for your loss mate 😥
Another great review of a popular fast food restaurant that is making a comeback in the UK. My late father loved Wendy's chili and I do like their cheeseburgers. I would love to see you review a jacket potato from The Spudman. I have seen some other videos, in particular the one on Rate My Takeaway, and they look amazing. Take good care of yourself and enjoy your week. Kindest regards, Anna-Marie from Pennsylvania, US!
Thank you Anna-Marie I will be doing the spudman and a really expensive one as well have a great week 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Also Gary excellent plan on the jacket potato comparison front !! 🙌😉
Thank you Kevin
When living in Vermont, Wendy's was my personal favorite. The Frosties are not shakes - more like dessert. After moving to Tennessee, very disappointed in most fast food here (we seldom eat it anyway) but discovered Freddie's (smash burgers). Love their burgers & custard (ice cream). All time favorite here in TN - Five Guys. Great burgers, best fries in the industry in my opinion. Very pricey, though. Had hubby take me there for our 27th anniversary on Valentines Day (I'm a cheap date😅) and loved it! I continue to love your work, Gary and am doing my best to catch up on your earlier work. Keep doing what you're doing - it's awesome!❤😊
Thank you so much, very kind of you 😄 hope you had a great Valentine’s Day!
Wish we had a Wendy's round our way.
Everyone who I know who's had one always rates it.
Cheers Gazza!
Take care Mark
Excellent as always, thanks Gary
Thank you Peter very kind
I'm also really impressed with Wendy's. Of the big burger chains I've tried, I'd rank them:
1. Five Guys (top quality burger and, so long as you order wisely, good value for money)
2. Wendy's (perhaps the best all rounder in terms of food quality, options and price)
3. Shake Shack (excellent burger - for me even better than Wendy's - but a bit overpriced)
4. Burger King (very decent burger but limited side order options and I just find the restaurants themselves really bleak)
5. Wimpy (nice burger in decent surroundings but hopelessly overpriced)
6. McDonalds (mediocre food that can't even claim to be all that cheap anymore)
Good list. Thanks for that, enjoyable read!
Another great review Gary and a definite yes to the spud challenge 😊
Thank you Liz coming soon I hope 😳
Yes I’d like to see a jacket potato video, it’s my favorite food! At Wendy’s you’re supposed to dip your fries into your Frosty, as tradition would have it. Good video, thanks for giving it a go! 🎉
Thank you very kind not sure snout dipping the fries 🤔
This is a special treat Gary there's not to many UK Wendy's reviews out there. Well done
Thank you very kind
The frosty is always super thick like that - it's actually closer to soft-serve ice cream than a milkshake. I never get it with my meal as a drink - I go back afterwards and pick one up for dessert if I decide to go for it. And you're right - you should have gotten the chocolate, which is quite mild but really nice. For years that's the only flavor they sold.
Wendy's here in the states had a bit of a dip in quality after Dave died some years back. I dont think they've completely rebounded - here at least - but they've been fighting to regain ground. I hope for the best, because they were my favorite fast food for a long time. Now its between them, Shake Shack ( originated in New York), Culver's (Wisconsin native, I think), and maybe In-and-Out (California kid all the way). But the latter 3 are not as widespread.
Glad you enjoyed it. Oh - they've done the potatoes for years (maybe always), the chile is made with their burger meat, and the chicken is cut from breast meat instead of the reformed chicken product used by many (looking at you, McD's).
WhatABurger from Texas is really nice. I prefer it to McDonald's, Wendy's and In and Out.
Ah, thank you Heidi for the info
Great review on a fast food outlet. You were very honest with your review, fantastic.
Thank you very kind 👍
Gary, another great review food, looked very nice and value for money 😊
Thank you Paul
Great video as always Gary, your a breath of fresh air on CZcams 👏👏👏
Thank you Ryan very kind 👍
Great review as always Gary!
Have to say the food looked infinitely better than the main competitors. Price point seemed reasonable too as the food ordered could feed three easily for lunch.
Definitely looking forward to the baked spud comparison 👍
Thank you very much Phil
I enjoy your videos Gary mate, you seem a genuine good geezer. Put it there🤝
Thank you Gary and so are you 👍
Hi Gary, I went to the Little Portland Cafe today with my son. I had sirloin steak, chips, peas and egg. My son had home-made steak pie, chips and peas. We both had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and 2 cups of tea, £29.40. Very friendly staff and the food was excellent. It was easy to find and at midday today it was only half full. I spoke to the owner and he told me that he remembered you going there. I said I had seen your video and wanted to “give it a go!” Cheers 😊
Ah excellent and that means a lot Alan. Glad you enjoyed your food and happy I could recommend it to you!
Gary, the healthy option is healthy because it has lettuce in it. You should know that lettuce neutralises all the bad stuff like chicken skin, bacon, and cheese 😉
I'm supposed to be watching my salt intake. It was surprising just how much salt is in fast food salads - unless you get the one with nothing but foliage.
@@JimmyMac-jo3zh Yes Jimmy, watching salt intake in a fast food place is practically impossible. Information on exactly what is in anything is not easily found either. I just thought it was funny that Wendy's called that a "healthy option"...peace to ya bud.
Haha indeed I do. Thank you for watching
Looks lovely Gary fair play great content as usual.
Many thanks!!
Hi Gary. After a long absence, it was announced in August last year that Wendy’s are returning to Australia and opening 200 outlets. I’m hoping that their Jacket Potato will be on the menu. McDonalds here need a good shakeup. This could be it.
As always, an important and enjoyable review.
Oh wow. That’s great news. Thank you Christopher
I rarely eat fast food, but tried the Wendy's in Camden Town. I had a filled croissant , because I don't like burgers. It wa super and so fresh. The staff were friendly and we could see the food being prepared. So impressed.
Super!!
Always interested to see what you come up with Gary, I'm not a great fast food fan but I don't mind a burger now and again, but unlikely to darken Wendy's doors. Your reviews are always honest and give people like myself an insight into different culinary experiences, thank you and best wishes.
That is very kind Colin thank you 👍
Echoing some others, the Frosty is usually eaten with a spoon rather than fruitlessly trying to drink with a straw - I'm surprised they didn't give you a spoon. The default flavor of a Frosty is actually chocolate, the vanilla is something they introduced in 2006. They've introduced other flavors over the years in the US on and off - strawberry, a Holidays peppermint, and an autumn pumpkin spice - but chocolate is the original Frosty.
As for all that bacon on the burger... well, they don't call it the Baconator for nothing.
They did give me a poon which I had to use lol, of course the baconator 🤷♂️
Yes please to jacket pot comparison.. Great vid as always ❤
Thank you and coming soon
Can you ask the lass behind the counter and pay cash as opposed to using that wretched machine?
Cash is king and should be safe guarded.
I think you have to use card Steevo, I didn’t see anyone at the front serving at a till
Where we live in a small rural Market town, cash is still widely used and promoted. However, as our last bank in town is scheduled to close within the next 12 months, I struggle to see how any of our local independent businesses will deposit and bank their cash daily. Thoughts?
@@grahamd9518 Cash is used widely and increasingly in my local area too and the banks have also shut all their branches over 2 years ago, but the small businesses use cash to pay their suppliers (who are often also small independent businesses) and use the local post office to pay into their business accounts. So not a problem, cash is definitely king.
Amen
@@grahamd9518 well, I'm old and glad I am.
The "future" if there is one, is not that bright.
In fact, it's pretty bloody bleak you ask me!
Everything digital. Everything you do will be surveyed. Freedom will be eroded.
Be a social credit system within 15 years. Horrendous.
Great Thumbnail
Fantastic upload as always Lads,
Keep them popping 🤘
Thank you David 👍
Top quality filming presentation, The Musical interlude at beginning, Gary has Class🎉
Wow, thank you!
Spud challenge, oh Hell yes!
Coming soon Patrick
Next burger review should be Five Guys. Top quality or overrated and too expensive? Only you can tell us.
Overrated and expensive in the UK , but very good in the U.S.
Can't beat a 5 guys
Bloody good as a special treat
Nice but way overpriced
They're ok but they charge table service prices for a fast food experience.
Wow. Took me back to the 80s when my parents took us on holiday to Florida a few times. Wendy's was streets ahead and their was a salad bar for my parents. Was fortunate enough to have a local Wendy's in London some years ago. Then it was very clean, good ingredients and very tasty. Hope one is opening near me soon. I vote yes for the SPUD challenge.
Thank you Steve making a comeback and spud challenge coming soon 👍
Another fab video Gary.
Never been but quietly impressed by how it looks - and for the price!
A few pickles on the burger or, as you said, maybe some lettuce, tomato, onion would've kicked it up a star.
It was very good all round 👍
I'm 53 (from Birmingham) and I don't recall ever seeing a Wendy's anywhere in the UK in my life.
I'm 51 and same here (Newcastle)
Same here im only 42 though@@stevenbrown8857
I think they must be mostly down South. A shame, they need a more even divide across the country
@@GaryEats I thought they would be, it took a while to see Five Guys up here. Most of these US centric places seem to only appear in London and surrounding areas.
@@stevenbrown8857 And Manchester
Great review Gary. Have been to Wendy’s, when on holiday in America and compared to other fast food restaurants, Wendy’s is the best. Enjoyed your review and score. Would be interesting to see your presentation on baked potatoes. Many thanks for sharing with us 👍👍👍
Thank you Andrea it’s better than the rest in my opinion
Another good video, Gary.
Great review 👍
Thank you very kind
Enjoyed this video. Good job!
Thanks very much Colin
That looked amazing Gary, really impressed. McDonald's chicken salad is some sad looking lettuce with some dry chicken, this looked so much better. I'll be giving it a go!!
Go for it Lisa I was surprised 😳
I think Wendy's is the best fast food chain out there (except maybe the higher level Five Guys or In and Out), it's always my go to when I'm in the US. We had them in Germany back in the early 80's, I wish they come back here!
They are expanding so you never know 🤷♂️
Looked great i will try this place great review again Gary 👍
Thank you Craig worth a visit
Totally agree with you I went to the Wendy’s in Brighton and throughly enjoyed it , proper fast food cooked well
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I checked the Wendy's menu here in America, and the Frosty is described as a dessert. So I don't think it is meant to be the consistency of a milkshake. It can be misleading as they give you a straw with it, but I'm pretty sure they also provide a spoon.
Forgo the spoon and try fries😊
Perhaps so. Thank you for watching
Oh yes please. The jacket potato video sounds a good one Gary Xx ❤️
Thank you coming almost soon
I've ever only tried Wendy's once then it closed down in Leeds! That was 26 yrs ago. My old friend slipped and dropped his food, so I had to share mine!!!
lol very kind to share Dave 👍
Yes yes yes for the spud challenge ,as for Wendy’s ,based on your comments and facial expressions it was a definite 8/10 .Another entertaining video and keep it up !
Very kind Bruce thank you and spud challenge coming soon
Great review as always Gary food looks fantastic keep up the varied content top work
Thanks so much Jack
Best at Wendy's is their chili! I like it with a plain baked potato because I have to be dairy free but I do have the butter. Single with tomato and mayonnaise if I feel like a hamburger. I don't eat bacon, too salty and fatty. Try their breakfast menu also sometime. I do have one of their salads now and then.
Love the Chilli!
Another great video Gary..
Thank you Luke very kind 👍
Ah wendys chili, I remember it fondly. I haven’t eaten fast food in many, many years, but when I did, Wendy’s was a favorite. Nice hair cut Gary. Always good to see you! Thanks again
Hello Sandria it was really good and thank you very kind lol ☺️
Thanks for the review Gary. I have never tried Wendy’s but that jacket looks worth a try. Go for that Celeb spud challenge. Always entertaining. Also a breakfast challenge with Wendy’s, McDs and Burger King will be fascinating. Thanks again to Gary and Mr Cameraman
You’re welcome Richard. I’ll take a look and hopefully I can film it!
Gary, the Frostee is not classified as a milkshake. Back in the 50’s North America, there were places known as Malt Shoppes because they used chocolate flavoured malt (a little like Ovaltine) to flavour thick frozen whipped milk and cream. Wendy’s has kept that tradition and it’s the only time I indulge in that kind of thing. They’ve changed their formula a bit in the last decade but it’s still alright. I appreciate the density of it. Quite nice. Thanks again for the post.
Thank you for the information really appreciated 👍
really like the range of items reviewed here! Good representation of what Wendys offer
Thank you we try our best 👍
never been in there ,it will be another very interesting video to watch , As always... thanks Garry
Thank you Malcolm 👍
Great vid yet again Gary!
Get over to north wales ! We will look after you Gary,
Best wishes as always,
Mallet & Si x
I will Mallet and Si thank you Wales 🏴
Great review as always gary. The food looks good. Have never been to Wendy’s. 👍👍
My first time and thank you
Love this channel, great review !
Looked like an 8 based on appearance
That is very kind thank you 🤩
Ah, brings back memories. I used to flip burgers back in the 80's at a Wendy's in Chicago. Before the Baconator, there was Dave's Deluxe: bacon of course, but also sautéed onions, the works.
Wow Peter good memories
Your baked potato looked to be the highlight of the meal (to my tastes).Last year Wendy's announced that they are going to try to establish a market in Australia over the next decade with 200 outlets (failed badly the first time).After listening to your comments they may have a better chance this time if they adjust to our market as all countries are different and what works in the USA does not always work elsewhere.Great review again and i would have given it an 8 which is high for me considering it is a takeaway place
Thank you Paul I think the6 have rethought the business plan 🤷♂️
They are pretty big in Canada too. They just backed off on surge pricing in North America.
The best two things at Wendy’s are the baked potatoes and unlimited refills when dining in.
Still, just like every fast-food restaurant they have gone up in price a lot, the best of the worst.
I didn’t know that Patrick, sorry
As soon as you say ‘come on then, let’s give it a go’ you have to smile! Great vid Gary 👍
Thanks Jeffrey 👍
Gary , great to see your subscriptions rising substantially , that is because you do an honest ' say it as you find it ' review in a way that makes me think ' I'd like to try that ' , you order a cross section of the menu , you'll be at 100k subs very soon and it will be well deserved , great review , I'm now googling for my nearest Wendy's lol.
Thank you John Wendy’s is a great burger but a little pricey
Great review, Gary. I went to that same Wendy's a few weeks back and tried the Guildford as well. Really liked their burger, better than five guys in my opinion, agree could do with tomato etc. Fries have great seasonimg also. Jacket not something I'd usually go for in a burger place but will try next time on your recommendation, it looked good 👌
Thank you the Jacket Potato was really good and a nice change from fries
Ahhh Wendy's!!! What memories! Used to go there when I lived in Milan in the '80's. No longer into fast food but I'd definitely go as a one-off if they reopen here in Italy or maybe next time I'm in the UK. Thanks Gary.
Thank you Christine and hello Italy 🇮🇹
Hello, Gary. The jacket potato comparison is a bloody good idea. For me, a good J.P is (funnily enough) the quality of the spud plus plenty of salt and butter.
Not visited a Wendy's so can't comment, but looked decent enough as fast-food goes - that salad was defo calo-rific!
Ever thought about reviewing some shack cabins? Roadside outlets that serve genuinely good local food, fast, and at a reasonable price? There are some amazing ones out there (and a few dodgy ones too!)
Enjoyed the vid, you're a top fella.
Great post as always, pal 👍.
Thank you as always a lovely comment and a suggestion I will be definitely doing 👍
Hiya Gary really happy to see u doing a review on Wendy's
I worked for them in the mid 80s n loved it . Well worth every penny .
Lovely seeing u again take care till the next video
Glad you enjoyed it Wendy. Hopefully see you on the next!
Thanks for doing this review Gary , I do love Wendy's . i used to live in Miami and this was my go to fast food along with IHOP ,your choice here was amazing .10/10
You’re so very welcome 🙏
Glad you like our hometown fare ! Dave Thomas opened his first Wendy’s in downtown Columbus, Ohio in 1969 and we have been enjoying his for since! Dave was a great guy, an orphan himself he always took part in the community. I grew up eating his creations . The baconator is delicious, as well as his regular burgers ( if you missed the lettuce and tomato) and my mother always opted for his jacked potatoes. A great winter combo is a large bowl of chili washed down with his Frosty .
Thank you so much for the information a great burger in my opinion 💯👌
Great review Gary, i haven't had wendys since the 80s on oxford st w1. The menu looks very good, especially the jacket,I'll definitely give it a go👍
Thanks John 👍
Really enjoy watching your channel. Usually late at night so I won’t feel deprived 😂 Thank you for your always cheerful
nature whatever the food. 🤗
Thank you, Carol. I hope you have a fantastic Sunday.
I was quite surprised and impressed at the quality there actually Gary I would of quite happily scoffed the lot.
They certainly have a good business model shaming all the other fast food restaurants out there, quality will always keep you in business. Take care Gary, Gareth
Me like you Gareth, not a lover of fast food but enjoyed this one!
Nice video, Gary ; I paid a visit to Wendy’s in Peterborough I found it expensive but excellent quality 👍 thank you for sharing CQ
Good to hear Chris how’s the singing going ?
I haven't had Wendy's since I was in florida in 2001!!!! One thing though, if i missed it, I do apologise! But I never hear you comment on the temperature of the burgers you're reviewing? I've had countless mcdonalds and burger Kings. And to be honest I'm lucky if they're just warm! Would love to know if your food is hot, cold, warm or could be hotter! Thanks Gary, always a joy to watch!
Much appreciated Dale
Good video Gary. I think the chicken salad and potato would be a great meal. I think you should do the challenge and compare them with Kumpir ( Turkish baked potato topped with all sorts of toppings, well known in Istanbul) Thanks Gary
Thank you Michelle not on this spud challenge but maybe another
Gary as always lets go,,!! Nice hair cut by the way. It all looked good. The misses is making an unbelievable chicken pie and it tastes amazing.
Keep growing you deserve it pal
Thank you Mark and enjoy the chicken pie 👍
Thank you Gary for some amazing content 😊❤ that all looked really good for a fast food chain, I love a good jacket potato and that one looked tasty 😋 ❤, yes please do the jacket potato comparison ❤ The Spud Man ?? Hope it is him , his Jackets look amazing ❤😊
You are so welcome Trudy 😄
When I saw a fast food restaurant review I didn’t expect it would go so well. I’m very impressed.
So was I Mike pleasantly surprised
It looked a great meal Gary. Was thinking that it was sufficient for two people so in the end it was quite reasonable.
I do like the thought of a spud challenge. The best baked potato I have had was in Turkey where they whip the cooked potato with butter unti lit is light and fluffy and then add the topping of your choice. They were massive!
Thanks for a great review.
I enjoyed it Conor and thank you
That whole thing looked absolutely Delicious and Very reasonably priced too...
You got that right!
I remember Wendy's in the West End on Shaftesbury Avenue - used to love the Salad bar - used to fill up on that for about £5 Cheers Paul
Thank you Paul others remember that restaurant as well 👍
Looks fantastic, Thankyou for doing restaurants like this also. You’ve got “Five Guys” Burger place to do now as there prices are very restaurant prices and yes the Spud challenge is a must too👍👍👍👍
I’ll be doing in a few months time Wayne 👍
It gets the thumbs 👍 up from me too. Have tried before they closed those years ago, and again recently. Still as tasty, almost homemade. Nice video Gary. Greek food on the horizon maybe? I'm not Greek by the way but love their dishes. Cheers 🍻
That’s excellent Dave. Yes, which Greek dishes would you like me to try?
@@GaryEats I'd recommend dolmades, (meat ones are best)
Small deep fried white bait, backed potatoes with anchovies, beef stifado and maybe grilled skewers of lamb with Greek salad, Gyros and stuffed aubergine or pepper. Corrrr I'm starving already 😀 best of luck Gary 👍🖐 p.s please please please KEEP AWAY from 'THE REAL GREEK' . They're rip offs.
I’ve never heard of Wendy’s before tbh, but that burger looked great considering it was from a chain fast food place, great review yet again Gary 👍
Thank you George my first time trying a Wendy’s
That looked really tasty, and regards anemic undercooked bacon I totally agree, not a problem here. I've never tried a Wendy's but will definitely 'give them a go' if there's one nearby. Well regards fast food you've now got to try them all Gary! I don't eat much fast food (just now and again) but I personally would go with KFC for chicken and Burger King for burgers.
Mcdonalds bacon drives me nuts!! Thank you for watching Stephen
Would like to see the jacket comparison video Gary. Wendy's looked well worth a visit, the burger looked good as did the chicken salad. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you I will se soon 👍
It must be my age but I do like the idea of going to a counter and ordering in person ?
Wendy’s does look competitively priced. Look good too!
I also prefer it
A couple of things:
1. The Frosty isn't a shake, it's why they serve it without a lid, but it's softer than soft-serve ice cream, too. That straw was never going to work...unless you wait until it's considerably melted.
2. Fun fact: their chili is made with the leftover fresh beef they use for their burgers. Less waste that way!
Thank you Chris on both points great information 👍
When you ordered that jacket, I instantly thought ‘he should try spudmans jackets’ and then you dropped the hint! Can’t wait to see that one !
👍
Huckleberries was a chain that never really took off in the U.K. back in the early 80s, I remember a branch at Turnpike Lane.
I don’t remember 🤷♂️
Best Darn Food Chanel on you tube , bar none ! Lo❤ve it .nice new haircut as well Gary 😊
Thank you so much 😀
