Wendy's Greenbelt | Slow but Good Service

The dine-in experience is quite different when you’ve been stuck ordering online, and not having the human interaction that has slowly settled in for most people that have gotten used to having their meal in the close confines of their homes. It’s not the same for those who would cherish seeing random individuals entering the restaurant. With Wendy’s in Greenbelt, they’ve been busy especially on a Friday night. There are other food establishments nearby, but nothing like an American burger joint to have the usual dine-in experience before going around the shopping centre. Personally, it’s rare to have dinner out though this is just another rare occasion to appreciate the opportunity that presented since it’s been a while having a good meal.

Wendy’s may not attract the Filipino masses because ‘this will do’ mentality is not the answer to everyday eats just because of value for money.
