Wendy's is Pricey...

My son and I went to Smashburger on 120th when it opened. Good food but around $20 and change for just the 2 of us.

Oh yeah, sodas at most ANY place are the big money-makers. Most folks don't even think about it, but their mark-up is awful.

Two small sodas, one double cheeseburger, 1 single cheeseburger and one large fry, that was it...and it was over $16.00 bucks!

Something ain't right here. My wife and I eat lunch together every Wednesday and this last wed we went to Wendy's we got two single cheeseburger combos (so 2 burgers, 2 small sodas, 2 small drinks) and it was $11 and change (and when they have the singles on sale you can get them under $10).

Combos and value menus really shave off the extra cash.

Tried 5 Guys once......ONCE. Over priced, over hyped and the fries where nothing to sing about. Just a bunch of Hipsters falling for the scene.
If you have not been there, save your cash. Nothing new you can't duplicate in the backyard.
Red Robin....close to $40 for three people. Never again.
Culvers! That's the place for value and quality.
Kids meal even get a ice cream desert!

This.

Those were my sentiments exactly. I got home, ate the food and said to my wife "Its not bad... but its not better than anything else, and I think I would have rather gone to Good Times."

The fries were bland, and the burger was just O.K. Way too expensive for bland and O.K.

Guess I'm lucky. The local grocery store deli does great cheeseburger combos for $6. The pizza place has a cheeseburger sub for cheap. The "good" restaurant in town has a big burger platter for around $11.

Why do I want to go eat fast food?

wendys in colorado springs has pretty much done away with the dollar menu from what ive seen. the 99 cent jr bacon cheeseburger is 1.59 now, their 99 cent fry is 1.39 and their dollar frosty is like 1.69. my normal 4.26$ meal (2 jr bacons, 1 fry, 1 frosty) is now almost 7$ with tax. needless to say, i dont go to wendys anymore.

Same here in Canon City. Could feed the family for $12 on the dollar menu, but now looks like McDonalds is the only one to keep a dollar menu!

Never buy soda or fries. That's my rule. If they are free, I'll usually eat them, but I won't pay for them. Well, I will for soda, but NEVER fries.

Haven't you seen "Wendy" in the new commercials....somebody has got to feed her!

What a hog.

We used to stop at the Draft behind Dillards at SW plaza had a good burger, beer and lots of sports on the tele.

That's too much. Did you check your receipt?

Yeap, I agree! I eat a Wendy's frequently and that price sounds excessive.
