WARNING: THEBURGERINTHECOMMERCIALANDINTHEPICTUREDOESNOTEXISTANDYOUWILLNEVERRECEIVEANYTHINGREMOTELYCLOSETOIT. The new California burger is an attempt to copy the In & Out double double, and it fails. I ask at the counter and point to the picture«Is it gonna look like the picture?» SHELITERALLYLAUGHED. I said«No, really. Could I have it look like the picture?» Well —- green lettuce doesn’t exist there so get that out of your head. At least the fries tasted good. Ever see a Whataburger commercial? What you see on TV is REALLY what you get! Very first visit I order the new burger with the onion crispies and TWOGIANTTOMATOSLICES according to the picture — and get back this irritating sad sack of a burger with a single small end slice of tomato. OH how I was looking forward to that picture in the window. last week I get the Famous Star burger, order extra tomatoes. I get my drink. I spy my burger being made. She’s putting an inch stack of WHITE lettuce on it. WTF. I pipe up NOLETTUCE. At least I got my extra tomato. Apparently these people don’t care what a real burger is supposed to be. Carl’s used to be the best with FLAMECOOKED burgers, now I just watch my sad patty come out of a yellow McDonald’s plastic heat box. Don’t worry Carl’s workers, you’ll soon be relieved of this miserable life when your location closes and someone worthy moves in. You’re one step away from Jack in the Box for the worst burger ever. WHOPPERSRULE!

Seems like every time i come here lately, a side order of bad attitude that i didn’t order, is served up! Won’t be coming back after the particularly snotty attitude I got from a Ms. Elizabeth tonight though. What a shame, the sweet potato fries were actually decent here…

It’s been a while since I’ve eaten at this location. Was in the area for a quick lunch and decided to get: Western Bacon Cheeseburger, $ 3.99 Big Carl, $ 3.99 The Big Carl has become one of my favorite Burgers at Carl’s Jr. The Western Bacon Cheeseburger is an old fav of mine… and is just OK. This particular location does a good job of making a decent fast food meal. It’s also a very clean restaurant and the employees are friendly. Return Factor — 60%

When I was a kid the Western Bacon was one of my favorite burgers. Forget about Whoppers and Big Macs because I was all down for putting a fried onion ring and BBQ sauce on my burgers. Fast forward to today; I honestly don’t think this is the best fast food sandwich anymore. I think everything has changed about it. Well basically it seems like Carl’s Jr has changed all of their vendors and quality of products. Ingredients are still the same, it just tastes different. Carl’s Jr. buns are now kind of waxy, their burgers don’t taste that good, and the bacon is just chewy fat strips. I just hate these sandwiches now. I won’t be eating one again or at least not for awhile. p. s. I had to order their onion rings because they changed up their fries. I’m sorry but I loved their French fries, but their new ones are the worst. These onion rings suck too!

Carl’s Junior is one of those good fast food places you don’t find east of the Mississippi. One of the surprises with moving to the Valley, was discovering Carl’s, Jr. As with most fast food places, I rarely give higher than three star, because… well… they’re fast food, not Three Star Michelin cuisine. But Carl’s Jr might be the exception to my rule. I would offer they are at least three and half stars on most occasions we’ve dinned here. We would recommend any of the burgers, but also the Chicken Strips. They are flavorful and as good as any we’ve had, including the Colonel’s and Popeye’s. We would also recommend the Malts and Shakes. They use real milk and make it fresh before your eyes. Nice! Also, be on the lookout for coupons in your Sunday paper. Most times there’s buy one, get one free. Enjoy!

This place is clean, the food is fresh, and the employees are friendly. I expect less from a place where I can get a full breakfast for under $ 5. Bravo!

Go here quite often on the weekends to catch up on my reading early in the morning. This place gets it. They have wi-fi, it’s always clean and the employees are friendly and get your order right. I usually order the french toast which is excellent. Also, their large sodas are a buck plus tax. I wish the other fast food places would copy and paste the $ 1 Large Sodas to their menu. I sometimes stop by in the evening for a $ 1.49 oreo ice cream sandwich. It’s not the greatest but gets the job done.

There are a couple of things on their menu that are different and pretty good… Chicken sandwiches are ok, and I like the deep fried zucchini too. Its fast food, don’t eat it often or you’ll die an early death, but this place is pretty good once in a while.
