  • A brand new Wendy's has opened in Whitby North Yorkshire, much to the annoyance of many local people. As I had never tired a Wendy's meal before or been inside one of their franchise, I thought I would try something from their breakfast menu, than, after a coastal walk, I would come back and try their lunch menu, to see what all the fuss was about - I was shocked at what I found out!

    I made the mistake of going into a Wendy's when I was in Detroit for work. Worst burger I ever had, one chain crossed off the list! Thanks for taking the hit for us on this one.

    • @AlanMETALMAN

    We went to Whitby last week and I was quite shocked to see a Wendy's there. Looks out of place considering the history of the place. Had fish and chips in one of the many restaurants. Great review there. You got more guts than me having both breakfast and lunch fast food!

    Hi Alan! Being in such a quaint area, Wendy’s does seem to be a bit out of place at that location. Don & I haven’t been to Wendy’s in years, and it does seem whenever we do go out anywhere for a meal, that there is way too much salt on the foods. We don’t revisit those places. I found it interesting to hear your view on it. Being that we are across the pond, I’m always interested in the differences in foods, etc. Thanks again! ~ Kat (in the North)

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 28 dny +1

      Totally agree Kat, there is far too much salt in our food today, which is no good for my high blood pressure but this was on another level on those chips. To be fair the burger was the best I have ever eaten, so if I go it again it will be a burger only. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    👍13 we really enjoy your reviews! I hate all those touch screen ordering systems, they are popping up everywhere now. Looks clean inside, such a fast turn around from it being the Papas. Good job you brought your own breakfast drink! Still have fond memories of Wendy’s when I was younger. Great job with the copyrighted music on your return! Jill likes the sound of the salt! We do love our salt, excited to visit now! Wow, now thats a good looking burger. We will definitely try that burger on our next visit!

    I don't eat that much hamburgers in fast food chains nowadays. They don't taste good at all after my surgery and change of diet.
    But I remember one place in Whitby, that was a more "old fashioned American Hamburger Bar", but not sure they are still there. Those hamburgers were awesome and looked tasty too! They were on same side as this one. But a bit up. We passed it on the way from hotel we stayed at.
    Thanks for a honest review Alan.

    @Packsalot Před 12 dny +2

    Like any food establishment you typically know where to go and what to order at each. In an area like where you are you are going to go for the local establishments as your first choice. However, these chain restaurants typically have pretty affordable pricing here in the USA. On road trips for me, I like seeing a Wendy's show up because I know I'm not going to break the bank and I already know what I'm going to order. I have not tried any of the items that you tried and probably would not. From the looks of what you had it appears that the cook that day did not know what he was doing. Around here, I'm sure what you ordered would have been much better. I eat at Wendy's for lunch nearly once every week but I'm very picky on what I order. I never order breakfast items. for lunch or dinner, I only order either the Cob Salad with Caesar dressing or the I get the Baconator, nothing else! I don't get the fires and drink with it either because I don't really care for their fries. Nice review and way to give it a try. Take care and have a great day.

    Hi Alan
    We've had one open not too far from us too. Not been in it yet but obviously fast food places are not always coeliac friendly.
    Another great honest review
    Looks a big place
    I'm not a fan of salt either so not good for me. (Jo)
    Nothing worse than too loud back ground music.
    I agree much prefer independent places.
    It's always fish and chips when we visit The seaside 😊
    Hope you and Mrs Metalman are both well ❤

    @wendingourway Před 28 dny +1

    I would tend to agree with the locals of Whitby, as Wendy's would really seem out of place and character. The food all does look the same as here. In the past, I did ask for the fries without salt. These fast food establishments I find are really getting quite expensive and would rather just walk in to a place where I can talk to a real person and see what can be done for me with being gluten free. Those screens are death to me...if that is the only option, I'd be heading the other way pretty quickly. I'm with you on them not lasting too long...if I find myself in a place like Whitby, I'm there for a local experience.

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 28 dny +1

      Hit the nail on the head, Whitby is famous for its fish n chips and there are some amazing food options there, so for me it will struggle but time will tell. I hate salty foo and that was another salt level, so not for me or Mrs Metalman as she is gluten free too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    Hello Alan
    Thank you so much for sharing this video.
    We don't have Wendy's Burger restaurants in DK, though we have one Wendy's pit in Herning in Jylland It's about 8 hours with trains from this town I'm living in.
    But again, one of the reasons for that we don't have a Wendy restaurants here are that they have been talking about that they are using to much salt in their food and we have rules here, in this country (EU rules must be observed) about how much salt that would be allowed to be in the meat and potatoes chips (generally all kind of food)!
    So there's one of the biggest reasons for not having a Wendy's, the other one is that we already have a lots of fast foods restaurants.. McDonald's /Burger King / Sunset B / Pizza restaurants in 1000/Rib steaks house / Chinese foods /Mexicans foods / and many more..!
    Again thanks Alan for putting your own health on a game to check it out and do a rapport from there after 👍🏼☑️
    You are so Cool my friend
    It could be good if you could do more videos like this one in the future ❤
    Have a good new week

    Alan, I was surprised to see the place so empty in the morning. We have Wendy's here, and it's not too spectacular. In my opinion, their dinner menu is better than breakfast. The veggies in the burger are nice.
    I actually quite like their chilli if they have it there.
    I hope the other places survive, though, and Wendy's doesn't force the locals out. Sometimes, the big companies can run the little independents out of town even with low quality.
    Definitely a weird layout with all those stairs.

      You got that right, when I was walking down the stairs, a woman was walking up with a tray, I had to flatten myself up against the walk to let her past! The other food outlets will survive, especially the fish n chip places as they are really famous and people come from miles away just for them. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    So we have Wendy's all over Las Vegas. They used to be a lot better but went downhill over the years. The service got really bad, and their phone app sucks! The only thing food wise.I really like there are the chicken nuggets and the chili. Your frosty actually had sauce and toppings, which we don't have out here. Out here, we just have chocolate Frosty flavor and nothing else! It's pretty boring. This was an interesting video for me, and I appreciate you sharing your opinion.

Pete does love a good burger, so maybe that would sway us. But i think we would always lean towards the good old fish and chips at the seaside for a naughty treat 😋.
    Cheers
    Shell and Pete 👍

      If you do go in, I can recommend the burger, it was the best I have ever tasted, it was just the rest, that was such a let down. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    I haven't had a Wendys since I was a child....I used to love them ! Burger did look nice though. My wife wants to visit Whitby, so I might treat myself.

    Hi Alan, we'll let you into a little secret...neither of us have been to Wendy's despite living in America for several years! 😅😅 After your review, we don't feel like we've missed out! 😂 Ooh, it's like McDonald's with the touch-screen ordering system. Looked very clean inside. I hate loud intrusive music when I'm eating. Sounds like they hadn't quite got their act together just yet. Thanks for a great honest review ❤👍

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 28 dny +2

      Yes, they had only been open for 7 days but for me it was the wrong venue, far too small downstairs and if the lift is not working, having to walk up those steps, which are very narrow and very steep. I guess time will tell if they succeed or not but I very much doubt it. Real good of you to stop by, cheers Alan

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 28 dny +1

      Yes, there was a lot of local opposition as Whitby has it's own charm, especially with the unique independent shops, once one chain gets in, usually more will follow :o(

    The Metalman doesn't like music!! That had me laughing but I'm with you on that, I hate noise being pumped out and you have to shout to be heard. We don't do any fast food at all, except it's the only option, it's all very bland, very salty, and not personal. Kids love these places and I'd be surprised if it doesn't do ok. Oldies like us aren't the target market. Your review was great, hands on ( and mouth!!) And you tried hard to be fair. 5 was generous!! The ice cream looked not great too, which is where McDonald's are very good. Nice one, Alan, you've definitely good a flair for this. Regards, Ashley

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 28 dny

      Not that type of music lol but man it was load, really in your face, not what you want if you want to eat and have a conversation. I think the kids will enjoy it, as their taste is more salt driven, something they have been brought up on but far too much salt for my pallet. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    Alan, our local Wendy’s is not a good breakfast place. The burgers are average here too. We do go to enjoy a Frosty often. You need to video more of your restaurant meals. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best, I would rate our local Wendy’s at a 4. Thanks for sharing the video. Nice to have a midweek video to watch. Also, Whitby looks like a FANTASTIC place to visit.

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 28 dny +1

      We are just over an hour from Whitby, so a place we both love and visit quite a lot throughout the year. My first ever Wendy's and I was left underwhelmed, unsure what I was expecting but not what I got. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 19 dny

      To be honest, it is always packed when we go there, which compared to so many other seaside towns is good to see but regarding the new Wendy's there, time will tell if it wins over the locals. Appreciate you watching, cheers Alan

    Great video. I'm not a fan of these American fast food places at all. Would much rather go to a traditional fish n chips shop 👍 loud background music would annoy the hell out of me too! Don't know what I think of ordering by screen... Where there any staff about? Did someone bring it out for you or did you have to just collect it from somewhere? Like the food review vids and you're hiking vids 👍 take care

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 25 dny +1

      Thanks very much for watching Shirley and your kind words and yes, once you had placed your order you had to wait for your number to be called, collect your tray of food and then climb up the very steep and narrow stairs to the sitting areas. My first ever visit to a Wendy's and next time I am back in Whitby, I will be back to my favourite fish n chip shop again, cheers Alan

    Forced loud music, too much salt, with the awful touch screen do you get the option to opt out of salt? The food apart from the burger looked pants. It’s a huge no from me, will not be visiting them, it looks like an eye sore too. Surprised it was allowed. You’ve not been harsh at all, very gracious I thought considering how dreadful it was. Just subscribed.

    Yo alan they probs seen you and thought he looks like a metal man and turned it up 😂😂😂 the burger did look ok like to be fair first thing I said when I saw the breakfast was dty but totally agree with the stairs going up and down and yeah even when lift is fixed it will still hold a full shop up waiting around and maybe toilets could have been male and female down and the all mix toilet on top floor good honest go at it mate foe all next time I'm down I will stick to the old English fish and chips with a pot of curry lol nice one marra

    • @AlanMETALMAN

      Thanks for your concern lol and to be fair to Wendy's, their burger was not too bad at all but man, the rest was so salty, really on another level and far too salty for me. The venue is is a great spot but next time we are back in Whitby (we live just over an hour away) I will be back to our favourite fish n chip shop I think. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan

      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 21 dnem

      The burger was very good and the only redeeming factor. I did say at the start that I would be reviewing the food but also the suitability of the building, which imo was not appropriate. Burger apart, the food was a major disappointment, dry and so salty, never tasted anything so salty before. The lift was not working when I was there, so you had to walk up the steep and very narrow stairs with a tray of food in your hands and keep your fingers crossed you did not meet someone coming downstairs. I just cannot see it doing well at Whitby. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, cheers Alan
