Quality That Stands Out

Dave Thomas knew that if you cut corners and sacrifice quality, you lose everything else. That’s why our signature square hamburger patties are made from quality, specially sourced beef. The vegetables that top our sandwiches and fill our salads are farm-fresh and freshly prepared in each restaurant every morning. Wendy’s attention to food quality and signature menu items separate us from our competitors.
