Saw some reviews but probably unjust. I love this place. Especially after having a bad experience at another rival location. Bought $ 25 worth of food that tastes very good!

Incredibly overpriced(even for an airport). 2 cheeseburgers and a coke = $ 15. Servers are generally friendly. Food is hot and fresh. Limited seating so you might not have a table during busy hours. I’ve stopped here several times just for the convenience, but the prices are pretty absurd.

It’s an airport. This means all food is expensive and slightly lower quality than what you usually want to receive when paying a premium.

Food was fine but way overpriced. Staff was rude and didn’t get all of my order so I just went without what they missed instead of them offering to make it for me. No napkins in the bag. No dollar menu

Could you guys please offer a kids size frosty? A small is much too big for little kids! Thank you!

I was happy that a Wendy’s was at the airport and therefore I could eat some decent food, but my happiness was short-lived. The prices here are astonishingly high. Now, I understand that airport food is always more expensive than not, but $ 5.69 for a cheeseburger seems slightly excessive for what you’re getting. The best deal was the 5 piece crispy chicken nuggets at $ 2.49 each – nothing else was remotely worth noting from an inexpensive standpoint. My low review – given my happiness with most fast food locations – stems from many factors. Firstly, service. The service was fast, I guess as it should, but lacking any sort of human emotion… I guess as is normal for most airport places. I also did not receive any indication that grated cheese on my chili would be 30 cents extra, which would have been nice to warn me of(most Wendy’s don’t charge!). Secondly, the food. The food was decent, but the standards just didn’t seem as high as normal Wendy’s locations. The burger was hastily put together and was a complete mess of mayo and ketchup with some pickles slopped in. Third, accuracy. I clearly ordered – and I repeated and the cashier repeated – 3 orders of the aforementioned nuggets, but ultimately I only received two(as was indicated on the receipt). That was a major bummer(when you don’t get enough nuggets, your day is ruined). Plus, I also ordered the hamburger without cheese and without mayo, and lo and behold it came with not only mayo and cheese BUTALSO bacon. It seems like they just completely mixed up sandwiches or something, and I feel kind of bad for the person expecting a bacon cheeseburger and instead getting a regular hamburger. In the end, I could not believe that I was walking away from a Wendy’s with a less-than-great experience. Wendy’s is my go-to, and sadly, this one failed. In this case, what happens in Vegas DOESN’T stay in Vegas. The world must know that this Wendy’s is lame.

Got to have my frosteeeee Frosty, this one a half and half: chocolate and vanilla. Not so much a swirl, but a mix, in the tall cup. The famous Frosty dessert, trade-marked and found exclusively at Wendy’s, is a welcome sweet comforting treat, when trapped in this terminal of McCarran, waiting what seems like eternity for your extremely late flight. Then again, had it not been for the delay, I might not have wandered around and spotted the freckled red-headed burger girl sign. Anyway, the Frosty could very well be the only edible thing in an airport that isn’t outrageously priced. At just a few bucks, who can complain? Had I bought one of the square burgers, which I have not eaten in decades, this rating might be different, so that is the disclaimer on this review. But the frozen-ish creamy confection was perfect. If you happen to be stuck in Terminal C, you can fetch your own Frosty near Gates 24 and 23. Wendy’s holds down the left corner of a mini-food court, directly to the left of Sammy’s(as in, Hagar) Beach bar and grill. Popeye’s Chicken and some pizza and pasta concession comprise the rest of the fast food court.

Way over priced but that’s what you get when you buy anything at McCarran Airport. The staff is friendly, and I receive my food in a timely manner.

This is the best Wendy’s could develop for breakfast? It made me long for a McDonald’s. Meal: Breakfast. Ambiance: Filthy food court. Crowd: Sweat pants everywhere. Menu: American fast food. Service: Contemptuous. Food Ordered: Artisan egg sandwich, seasoned homestyle potatoes, and orange juice. Food Quality: The«artisan» egg sandwich tasted like grease and bread. The potatoes tasted like grease and spice. Finally, the orange juice was revolting. Value: Poor at half the price.

Interesting pricing on this Wendy’s. I suppose that is to be expected at an airport though. So I will forgive it. The food here was surprisingly good for fast food. The fries were hot and fresh. I ordered a double. It was good. And huge. When they say half pound they mean that.

If I have to eat at the airport, I usually go to Wendy’s. Sure it’s twice as expensive as a normal Wendy’s, but it beats out the other restaurants here. Employees are all friendly. Plus you can get a free drink refill!!!

Congratulations, Wendy’s, your track record is 100% — every time I order NO tomatoes, you put EXTRA. Must be something in your training, as it’s universal. Page 236 of the employee handbook, «When a customer orders no tomatoes, you can assume they are delusional. They surely meant double tomatoes. Give them extra and they will see the error of their ways. After all, we know what’s best for them. They will thank you for it, like Obamacare or the TSA.» They get three stars because the food quality was actually quite good(once I got my revised version). They were also very quick. They would have gotten 4 stars if the lady behind the counter hadn’t rolled her eyes, as if to say, «This PITA actually wants her order correct? As if!» Also, since they screwed up, they should have offered a free drink, French fry, or at least an extra napkin. Even a sorry would have been nice.

It was pretty average 3 stars seems about right for me. The spicy chicken sandwich barely tasted different than a regular one would. The fries were very splendid however the ranch that you dipped in seemed old

Good location & fast. BUT had sore stomach and diarrhea after having their lemonade. And some staff keeps coughing very loud in the back while we were sitting outside. Oh well… not going back again i guess.

Standard Wendy’s fast food. Nothing more nothing less. Visit was brief and uneventful.

This review is for the Wendy’s inside MCCarran Airport in Las Vegas. For some strange reason, this Wendy’s location was freaking amazing when we were there. I’m pretty certain it’s the best Wendy’s I’ve ever had. I had a Pretzel Bacon Burger, and my wife had some sort of breakfast flatbread sandwich. Everything tasted remarkably fresh, and the bacon was perfectly crispy. This was a very surprising experience. Honestly, the food quality was more like a sit-down restaurant than a fast food joint. Generally, I do like Wendy’s well enough. But this was far beyond other experiences I’ve had with the chain, so much so that I felt compelled to give them an Internet thumbs-up. I don’t know if this location is always this good, but wow… unexpectedly exceptional, especially for an airport restaurant. I did notice there are a few reviews on this airport Wendy’s from 2011 that are fairly poor. I wonder if management is different there now? I’m not sure what’s changed, but the place was pure greatness when we were there(August 2013).

Just what you would expect from an airport fast food establishment. Mediocre/bad service, horrendously expensive prices($ 3.00 for a burrito smaller than a small cell phone, or $ 2.62 for a small soda?) The food was alright, maybe it tasted better, I tried to savor each of the three bites that burrito took to consume, realizing each bite was $ 1.00.

Not really much to say other than the convenience of a Wendy’s in the airport which is nice if you are in the mood for a burger and a Frosty. The only problem was airport prices! The cheapest combo if I remember correctly was $ 8. I got a chicken sandwich combo and a small frosty and my bill was $ 13. Really sad! I just don’t understand the need to gouge the consumer for convenience.
