Carl’s Jr.

"The staff are helpful when the new automated ordering system doesn't work right. My food is always hot. They're also open later which is mostly when I go. The staff on my last visit were very helpful and provided excellent service."

"Carl’s Jr. — in a throw-down match with MacDo to see who can deliver the most expensive fast food burger, they offer their Bacon & Swiss Chicken sandwich for only $8.29. What a steal! But that’s not all, folks! My old favorite BBQ Chicken is now only a measly $7.29… shouldn’t that be $17.29? Nope, those aren’t on _my_ menu. Carl’s Jr. is “fast food”. It’s supposed to be fast and inexpensive. If I’m going to spend more than $10 per person on a meal, it sure as heck ain’t gonna be a combo at a corporate fast food joint. The menu prices are all over the board and lead me to believe Carl’s Jr. employs a bevy of 3-year-old corporate analyst toddlers to price their items, throwing french fries, fried zucchini, and catsup at the corporate whiteboard to see what sticks. But hey, if they think their Fried Zucchini ($4.19) is worth more than their Big Hamburger ($3.89), that’s their business. And if I think they’re exaggerating their prices, that’s my business and I won’t order them. (I didn’t.) But they do have a “California Classic Double” for $3.29, charbroiled and quite yummy, and that’s worth stopping by. It is far tastier than a Big Mac and at a price I can afford. I visited during the lunch rush… it appeared there were only two people working: a cook in the back and one clearly overworked fellow in the front who was taking orders from both the counter and drive-thru, rushing out orders to the dine-in customers, bussing tables, and apologizing for the wait. He needn’t have apologized, they were clearly doing their best to keep up with demand. They really needed a third staff member to help out. Overall, they get 3 stars for the food (only because the prices are generally too high, except for Cal Classic Double). 4 stars for the service (overworked front end, but clearly trying, caring), 3 stars for atmosphere (it’s a fast food restaurant with florescent lighting, not my idea of a fine dining experience). (Interesting to see the plethora of 5 stars left here by Google reviewers who have only 1 review listed. Hmmmm.)"

"Stopped by for breakfast. They had a 2 for $5 breakfast special of either a burrito or two different breakfast sandwiches. Ordered the bacon egg cheese burritos and hash rounds. The young man (receipt had cashier name of Angel)at the counter was so friendly. He brought the food out to the table. It was hot, delicious and plentiful not to mention cheap! He was cleaning and the tables and floor were very clean and as always I am impressed by a place that keeps up with that."

"Stopping by Carl's Jr. was a solid experience, way better than I expected. The vibe was chill, and getting greeted as soon as I walked in was a nice touch. The standout part? The service, especially from the manager, Scott. You could tell he's all about making sure everyone leaves happier than when they came in. He was around, checking on things, and just had a good vibe about him. The staff seemed on their game too, making the whole visit pretty smooth. The menu’s got something for everyone, and I went with one of their classic burgers. It hit the spot - fresh, tasty, and just made right. Scott threw out some suggestions for sides that didn’t disappoint either. It’s cool to see a manager who knows their stuff and isn’t just behind the scenes. Cleanliness was on point as well. In times like these, seeing a place that looks after itself so well gives you extra peace of mind. All in, my trip to Carl's Jr. was more than I bargained for, in a good way. Scott’s doing a great job keeping things running tight and making sure the food’s top-notch. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re after a no-fuss, good meal. Props to Scott and his crew - they’ve got a good thing going."
