Carl’s Jr.

Good value — as good or better prices than other locations in the SGV. Plus they have the Green Burrito menu (and a salsa bar), plus TV to watch.
QUICK UPDATE: Sad to see it go. It was right by my bank.

So long friend. I was so sad when I walked by earlier this week to see all your signs and furniture gone, and your space empty.
For years you served as my fast, cheap but filling alternative to Mendocino Farms. I’m not even mad at you any more for omitting the fried onion strings on my $ 6-​western-​smokehouse-​something-​or-​other-​burger that one time.
Thanks for the many fat/​calorie laden $ 5 Superstar combos you served me in recent months. If I die young I will ball up a fist and shake it towards you in petulant blame.
The fact that you had a retarded siamese Green Burrito twin that no one ordered from meant that you offered a salsa bar. Filling little containers of hot sauce to mix into my ketchup for french fries sets you a notch above the other fast food joints in the area.
Oh, and you had Cherry Coke too; so good. Sure, sometimes your lazy employees would forget to refill the syrup containers and you’d spurt out carbonated tap water, but it’s bad form to speak ill of the dead.
RIP, dude. Maybe your years of good service will get you reincarnated as an In-​N-​Out.

Alas this location is closing July 27^th, 2012.
This is more of a memoriam instead of a review. The burgers were well prepared here and the fries were always hot and just cooked.
Staff was equally good with friendly and efficient service. The dining space was large and the TV monitors always had a soccer game or some sports event on.
It was a good location and I will miss this Carl’s Jr.

I love getting the Carl’s Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger combo… BACON, cheese, onion rings, and BBQ sauce, how could you go wrong?
When I was asked to try the new Bacon Swiss Chicken Tender Sandwich. all I heard was bacon and I was sold! It took about 5 minutes to get my order, which is pretty timely for it being around the 11:30 lunch hour. I requested for my normal 2 house ranches (the square ones — I hate the one circle ones that they package) and went on my merry way back to the office. Two bites into my sandwich, I noticed something was off… THERE WAS NO BACON! The wrapper had a nice big bacon sticker on it to indicate it’s a bacon sandwich so how could you forget the bacon???
Sigh. It was too far for me to walk back so I ended up eating the thing in sadness. It just tasted like their .99 cent chicken sandwich, which I think is much better than what I just had.
One plus, they’re not stingy with their ranch sauces.

Nope — sorry folks. This particular Carl’s Jr. is slipping.
Mind you it (is) a great facility (location, roominess, big screen t.v.s, outside patio, spacious, etc.), but it has gone down a little since I last went there. I hadn’t been in for about a year and I was in the area yesterday (02−04−12), so I stopped by.
This particular Carl’s Jr. is a combined Carl’s and ‘Green Burrito’ store. In the past, the ‘Green Burrito’ combination plates were awesome, but apparently not any more. I ordered the 2-​taco combination plate (the price of $ 4.19 is good). I didn’t expect miracles, but the taco meat tasted like some of the worst imitation canned ground beef I have ever tasted. The beans and rice were just okay, and the cheese was so scant, I couldn’t taste it. The facility didn’t have that fresh perky look/​smell, although it didn’t appear real dirty or anything.
Also, the establishment needs to take care to sell a good product because they are in direct competition with other food establishments/​restaurants/​eateries in the immediate area — due to the many downtown workers that eat at them.
Due to the fact that this particular location is in downtown, it may be a little hard for the staff to keep derelicts or transients out, but hopefully this won’t become a permanent problem for this Carl’s Jr.

it’s just carl’s jr. inside citigroup building. big plus with plenty of tv’s for sports – it got pretty exciting last year at world cup time. they do serve beer, which can be plus or minus depending on you.

I’m sorry Michael R., although I can enjoy the Big Carl, the Big Carl couldn’t hold a candle to the Big Mac. The storied and enduring history of the Big Mac (including its early 90s avatar, Mac Tonight) will send it to the Hamburger Hall of Fame, whilst the Big Carl forever awaits its invitation. That’s just the way it is, the way it will be.
But alas, about this Carls Jr. — God Bless your soul, Mr. Carl Karcher — a diamond in the rough it is, sitting at the base of bunker hill across from the central library. It’s never missed a step since the first time I’ve walked through it’s doors back in 2004.
Let me count the ways…
(1) Fried Zucchini and onion rings — sensational!
(2) Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich, add red onions and tomato — BAM!
(3) jalepeno/​pepperoncini bar — spicy!
(4) pitchers of beer/​happy hour — oh yeeeah!
And finally, this Carl’s Jr. sports several flat screen LG televisions with surround sound, and so it made for a lively location to grab lunch and watch the 11am 2010 worldcup matches.
The staff is friendly and dine in (outdoors and indoors) service excellent.
If it doesn’t get all over the place, it doesn’t belong in your face — believe that.

This place as you yanks say SUX!
The burger tasted like cardboard and the fries were awful. My mate threw it in the bin that’s how bad it was (he never throws anything!)
There is something completely wrong with the ingredients. Try and eat the patty alone and you’ll see what I mean, totally lame.
The 1 star is for the advert on TV;
Burger
Fries
and a Coke!
It worked on us!

Let me preface this review by clarifying that «Six Dollar Burger» is not meant to be taken literally. It’s a trope. It’s like «million-​dollar baby.» You’re not supposed to believe that the baby is actually worth one million dollars. The baby is worth thousands less than that. But with this new (or at least new to me) Carl’s Jr. burger, it comes close to reality. This thing is worth upwards of $ 4.80.
The reason this burger is worth nearly four dollars and 72 cents more than other fast-​food sandwiches is because it is composed of pure angus beef. A boy named Angus once said in a movie of the same name, «I’m still here, asshole! I’ll always be here.» And on the soundtrack of this movie there was a cool Ash song called «Kung Fu.» And if you were to take that song and replace the lyrics «my teenage lobotomy» with «Carl’s Jr. Six Dollar Burger,» one of the lines sung would go, «I haven’t been the same since Carl’s Jr. Six Dollar Burger.»…Indeed, Ash. Indeed.
So, I am certain that if you are a vegetarian and you eat one of these Carl’s Jr. Six Dollar Burgers, then you will no longer be a vegetarian, if for no other reason than the fact that you would have just consumed some beef. Chomp!

Good spot with a Green Burrito and salsa bar. Really spacious inside with plenty of sitting room in and an outside patio.
