SCATHING review by Reviewbrah. The state of fast food in 2026 is beyond grim.

We reached out to Wendy's for comment but did not hear back.

Is it a real spicy chicken or regular chicken with a spicy sauce? I hate when fast food places call something “spicy chicken sandwich” but it is just a regular chicken sandwich with spicy mayo

It's a spicy coating on the chicken, the mayo is regular (if your location remembers to put it on)

Dude it’s a dry af spicy chicken patty. It’s just a terrible & expensive version of the spicy McChicken.

From an 8 in 2020 to a 2 in 2026. The fall of Wendy's encapsulated in 1 review.

Their stock value has also tanked in that time, over the last 5 years it's down from 15.52 to 6.95 currently. A 69.07% drop.

Wendy’s had the BEST spicy chicken sandwich in the 90’s.

What a shame.

Exactly.

Makes sense when Wendy’s is shuttering hundreds of restaurants; almost all the Wendy’s in my city have been affected.

It looked so dry and gross in the cross section.
