Naming rights aside, I doubt another shitty burger chain will see success in Aus. If you want a shitty burger, we got that covered in almost every town and suburb. Aussie typically want higher quality fast food.
I’m waiting for the inevitable Carl’s Jr implosion, no way those restaurants are sustainable businesses.
You don’t even need to look at Carl’s Jr. Just look at taco Bell I’ve walked past it and am convinced it’s used as either money laundering or a tax write off. There’s never anyone there.
Nobody is in there because the food is beyond terrible. You don’t get cheese for your taco, you get lettuce that has a dusting of cheese in it. It’s dumb as hell.
You’re kind of not wrong. Collins Foods have just written of a $36.7 million impairment against the Taco Bell business, with Taco Bell stores posting a same-store sales decline of 4.8 per cent for the year.
Bloody horrible
I had a carls jr burger the other day, and it was the driest burger patty I have ever had.
Wendy’s in Canada is excellent. Dave’s Single and Double are the best fast food cheeseburgers IMO
Wendy’s in the US is actually one of the better day did restaurants. Still only about comparable to Australian KFC at best.
I tried a baconator once 15+ years ago in the US. It was advertised as having 10 rashers of bacon on it! I had to know for myself. I obviously bought fries and their signature Frosty (thickshake) too to get the full experience.
I learnt three things that day:
- Americans call the streaky bacon bit a rasher. So they’re about 3cm by 10cm, so not as hedonistic as imagined.
- a manufactured food that is 1/3 fat has a surprising amount of structural integrity.
- people dip their fries in their thickshakes.
I only ate salad for days afterwards. We really don’t need Wendy’s or even just another shit-tier burger place like them.
People who do number 3 should be rounded up and executed.
Ohh man you’re missing out on a great taste experience, the saltiness the chips pairs well with the sweet and creamy flavour of a milkshake, dipping chips in soft serve icecream is a great treat as well, especially if you get some of that fudge syrup.
I’ve tried it and it’s nasty!
Naaaaasty!
Boooooo BOOOOOO!!!
Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad for having it.
Fair enough, each to their own.
No! I won’t have it!
READY… AIM… FIREEEEE!
Missing out, dude. Back in my youth I used to stick fries in my caramel sundae at maccas. Delissssh
A number three is diarrhoea isn’t it?
Sorry Australia. Just another shitty fast food place.
Australia is already catching up to America on obesity rates. But fuck it let’s just go full America on this shit.
Come to Brisbane and you’ll see we are much obesier than America
Looking forward to trying my first Hungry Wendy’s here in Australia.
I mean isn’t there already wendys in Australia?
Im sure there was a wendys in the Northern Territory when i was a kid
Yeah it’s a hotdog and ice cream chain. I wonder if they’ll have to change the name similar to Hungry Jacks because Burger King was already a restaurant when they came over here.
An, i always thought they were the same thing.
There’s no longer a wendys in the Northern Territory so maybe they have gone under. If that’s the case I’m sure wendys US would be able to buy name rights and go with it.
They claim to still have 70 locations.
Yeah there’s one in the shopping centre where I live in Victoria.
Theres still one in geelong (victoria)

Does this mean the Australian Wendy’s stores have all gone? Our local one died in the pandemic, but I hadn’t heard the whole company went under.
My guess is they came to an agreement that their product offering is different enough that they can trade under the same name?
Do we get a vote, before they come over?
Lol - it’d be pretty uncharacteristic
You can vote with your wallet.
I do like me a Wendy’s burger
Goddamn rangas are taking over 😡
All the Americans are like “Wendys taste like shit” and my immediate snap back is “That’s because America has terrible food standards”.
Like yeah you wont die if you eat the food but you don’t know if its bacon or 1-20 dead rats flat packed together. I hope they open one in Perth and its open at 2am every day
