Carl's Jr - Dinning area - Fast Food Near Me - Alpine, California

If I could give 1/2 star I would. I've been going here since it opened more than 20 years! I tried one more time, it's my last!! This franchisee is rationing their food and using horrible quality for a Carl's Jr. No wonder they are going out of business everywhere. It is the franchisee!! My zucchini 1/2 full. My "Big Carl"? Was thin as paper, and I paid extra for a pepper and got a sliver. Barely any Santa Fe sauce, as well!! No wonder there is NEVER a line there anymore. I'm disappointed and the REAL OG would be, too!! read more

This Carl's Jr. has definitely stepped up their game recently. You can tell the gals working there really care about what they're doing. I've been going to this Carl's Jr. for a long time--since I was a kid. Back in the day the food was so good. It was one of the best Carl's Jr. locations I've ever been to; it was basically the poster child for the brand. I'll be the first to say there was a period where it seemed like nobody wanted to be there. The employees didn't seem to care, and the experience just wasn't the same. But something has changed. They're doing a much better job now, and I hope they keep it up, because every time I go there lately I know I'm going to get a fresh burger. read more

The food is good and there are not many locations. This one is clean and friendly. It is literally the only burger spot at this exit and luckily they are good! read more

Dislike the automated drive-through ordering. Abrupt, rude staff member at the window. Burger was lukewarm. Paper wrapping was thrown around the burger and 2 small napkins crumpled and thrown in bag. Won't be back to this location or any other Carl's read more

Rawley is absolutely horrible. The soft drink I ordered was unavailable, when asked if anything else would work, I honestly told Rawley that another drink could be substituted, but I asked if they could not be charged, which I thought had been agreed to. Rawley refused to give me any drinks because "I didn't want them". They proceeded to leave items out of my order, forcing me to come back and ask for my items. When Rawley gave me the missing items, it felt like I was stealing their firstborn child.... Absolutely ridiculous and I warn anyone visiting... if Rawley is working don't expect anything to be correct. Double check your order before you leave. read more

Friendly service and decent parking. Went in here because of a ongoing road trip. You had to buy something to use the restroom. Although there was no blood, there were other bodily fluids and materials in the restroom. Not clean! Ate a single patty signature burger that looked like it was stepped on. Should have thrown it out. After eating it had a bad reaction. It only stayed put for a few miles down the road. Not a clean establishment. Glad it was a mild case of food contamination. Made a full recovery the next day -- but it made the trip uncomfortable. Stop only if you must! read more

Rude, teenage, chopped, skinny, long hair, long face, slow talking, kid also the bathroom was so dirty you can see the people in the stalls.

Carls Jr Alpine Ca., please rid of the A.I. robot drive thru, it's not working in your favor. The order typically never equates to what I actually ordered. I Ordered a burger lettuce wrap with easy sauces. Of course the robot misses the "lettuce wrap and easy sauce" part cause it doesn't show on the drive thru screen. I get to the window and tell them the robot did not repeat my order correctly so I tell them what I want. The juvenile delinquent at the window yells my order to the back. I got a messy lettuce wrapped drenched with sauce to the point it's so soggy it's falling apart cause they don't give a damn. I asked to refund my money and the juvenile delinquent gives me exact change. I advised him the sales tax should be added to the refunded item. Delinquent gets mad and says, here's 50 cents. I told him he needs to do the correct math according to the sales tax for Alpine. He asked do I know what it is, but he's the one working there so it's his job to know, not mine. He says here's a dollar and tries to berate me saying "go ahead take your dollar." Well, I will cause you're literally cheating folks out of their money by not funding the sales tax and you gave me more sales tax than what's required so you shorted yourself! Sales tax for Alpine Ca 7.75 %. Moral of the story Carls Jr corporation /franchise needs to step in and give their people training on customer , money tendering and ethic s. It's shameful when employee are rude to customers when they are in the wrong. Don't let the kid with zero maturity and zero emotional intelligence run the window! Better yet close this location down, so many bad reviews. I will not be giving them a dime of my money again, never going back. read more

Says dining room is open until 10. I show up at 9:38pm to get food after a long drive and checking into the hotel next door, doors are locked and they won't let me in... very disappointed this has happened twice already. The place is open until 1am and I'm not planning on eating indoors I was just going to take it to my room. Service here really sucks. read more

Rawley is garbage. I didn't get the soda I ordered, they didn't provide alternatives and then half of my order was missing, making me go back to the location I am already unhappy with, just to get attitude and aggressive reactions from the staff member who didn't do their job in the first place. Completely uncalled for and unexpected. If rawley is working I WILL NOT provide patronage to this location. There are plenty of Carls Jr's that don't employ "Rawleys'" and therefore are infinitely better than this location. If rawley is working... CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE LEAVING!!! read more

Kid with tattoo on his arm messing up orders and giving the wrong sauces on purpose. our sandwiches were probably messed with lol.

Could not chew the chicken on the chicken club my drink order was wrong the overall wait time in the drive thru was crazy long my daughters chicken strips were way overcooked overall a very poor experience I won't be back and I checked the receipt it was correct however the order was not correct read more

We are on a road trip and needed to use the restroom, so I went in and had to wait over five minutes to even be acknowledged. I ordered extra crispy fries and asked for the restroom code. My fries were not hot nor crispy, which is a major fail, even if I'm only spending 3.00!!! read more

Do not use the drive thru we ordered 1 burger zucchini French fries and a chocolate shake. We got 3 hamburgers and no zucchini. Check your order. They do have a computer taking your order. read more

Went through drive thru, AI ordering system that doesn't understand. And then the people that work there don't understand or know how to fix it. Neither AI nor the humans working understood chicken star kids meal. So what you get is surprise in a bag. Chicken strips which had a microwave consistency - gross!! This is my 3rd time attempting Carls Jr, NEVER AGAIN!! Negative 5 stars... read more

I consider myself to be a man who is honest and full of integrity.. And to be completely transparent and totally honest... I was absolutely blown away by the fast food experience I just received. I ordered my food after midnight and we all know to have low expectations; that being said, it might as well have been a Michelin Star level restaurant that I was ordering from because the food I received was absolutely immaculate. Everything came out piping hot, fresh, and absolute divine in terms of taste and quality. Delicious doesn't even come close to describing this heavenly meal. I wish I could time travel back an hour just to enjoy this food one more time. To whoever is back there manning the grill- just know that you made my whole night, heck, my entire weekend just by proving me with such an exquisitely curated dining experience. Please continue to bless others with your artistic culinary skills you beautiful bastard! read more

Do not go here. Went today 5/28 at 12:30 and the female working the drive thru stole our Venmo card. Said she gave it back but didn't. Told us to call the police if we wanted them to check the cameras. She then proceeds to yell at me to go. Venmo card now turned off and a 10 day wait ensues. Thanks for nothing Carls Jr! Guess the $15 an hour isn't enough. They steal customers money! read more

Dining room was clean and only a few diners at the tables on a Sunday afternoon. Bathroom was trashed, paper towels jammed into toilet. Staff was dismissive and disinterested: the sole employee at the counter ignored us as we walked up and then informed us that she was on her break and that someone would help us. While we were waiting, the person at the Drive-in station informed the people in the kitchen that we were waiting to be helped. We were ignored again after the kitchen staff saw us. Finally someone walked over, took our order for 2 chocolate shakes and after about 5-8 minutes handed us two cups with soft ice cream on the bottom, milk poured over and whipped cream. It was not blended. She told us the straws were on the counter and turned away. read more

why is the order machine a robot? it feels extremely in humane and kind of terrifying. I got the right order tho.

Does anyone know the contact number of carls Jr in alpine,CA? The phone number on their website is a fax line. I had great food this afternoon but I forgot something in the restaurant. I would really appreciate any help on this. read more

Not A Good Choice. Location: Easy to reach from the interstate and near fuel stops with plenty of parking and should be room for Motorhome/RV/Trailers in the adjacent lots if not their own. Service: Slow with indifferent attitude. Felt like they neither cared if we were there or not. Food: Shakes and hamburger buns were okay but on the fast food scale I give them a fair to adequate rating. Cleanliness: Fair to good depending on if the bathroom trash was recently emptied. Overall: There are better places to eat in the area that are probably more appreciative of your business. read more

I've read the bad reviews and see that some of them are with service and the interior spaces. I'm just commenting on the food. I've been to this location several times and have never had a "Great Meal". My ideal or a Great meal is when the fries are hot, and the burger seems fresh and juicy with a bun that is not heat-lamp wilted. With that being sad, none of my visits accomplished this goal. I'm sorry to say that I do not recommend this particular establishment to anyone. My experience with McDonald is the complete opposite. They care of there. Please do better Carls Jr. read more

I would never recommend this place to anybody. I was waiting in line more than 20 minute and the cashier guy was talking to his customer friend and totally ignored the people waiting in the line. I will never come back again to this location. I live very close to restaurant, but I will never make it back to that Carlos Jr. also, my friends went go there. Very disrespectful place. read more

Right off I-8 in Alpine, access is good. There's plenty of parking with room for a few RV's and 5th wheels. I found the drive thru to be the most efficient while the dine in service to be very slow. The food is ok, it does ok in a pinch. My opinion is that Carl's Junior food quality has really gone down in quality and up in price. The Alpine location for me on has only reinforced my opinion. I've been a customer for over 40 years and I am finding myself losing interest in there brand. read more

Carl's Jr - Fast Food Near Me - Alpine, California

It is a crime to call it fast food because it takes forever here. None of the employees have any sense of urgency whatsoever. It's like they are volunteering read more

If you have a duty truck don't even think abatir going to this place. Because my truck did not fit I did not have the right to eat in this place. This is bad read more

This may be my third or fourth time ever dining at a Carl's Jr and I can see why lololol. We stopped in on our way home to Phoenix and this was on the way. Even though I had ordered the burger, and the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, I felt the burger had been sitting under hot lamps for hours. The bun was mushy and wet, the fries were seriously frigid y'all. Next time, we'll keep driving until we find Mickey D's or the King. read more

I don't know what is going on at this location but I'm never going back. First, you can't eat inside because the doors are locked. There were people in the dining area, so... ? Specifically there was a young woman running around the dining room looking upset and another woman behind her. This was about 4:30pm on a Saturday. So we wedged the SUV through the drive-through. The kid on the speaker sounded like he was just barely alive, or seriously stoned. We asked to split the order between two credit cards. I asked for the fish sandwich and the deathly ill/stoned guy says "We're not making that now." The only reason I agreed to go to this dump. The cashier was nice but she took one credit card and said pull ahead and my cousin said "What about the other order?" and she just says "Window two." Huh? So we go to window two and he says "You only paid for one order.. " We had to BACK UP and pay for the other order. I don't know what the hell is going on at this place but I'm sticking to McDonald's and Fred's from now on. TLDR: Never again!! read more

So I've came here multiple times and EVERY single time I come here they seem to some how mess up the EASIEST order ever ! They say I should be very specific and I repeat my self twice!!! A big carl and a really big Carl should be clearly different and the cooks seems to just f*** it up every time ‍ horrible horrible horrible read more

This was the nastiest Carl's Jr. I've ever been to, if I could give it 0 stars I would. Food tasted disgusting especially the spicy chicken sandwich I felt sick immediately after eating it and definitely got food poisoning. Never go here if you don't want the feeling of having to soil your pants 30 min later. read more

I used to go through the drive-through ~ 2-3x/month and did for years. In fact, I went by today. Little has changed. Pros are that the their cheeseburgers are good and the orders seldom wrong. The only real con IMO (which may not matter to many people) is that - with one or two exceptions both of whom staff the window where one pays - those who hand you your food are invariably impolite. The typical interaction will occur without a "thank you," or "you're welcome." Many involve the staff member simply sticking the food bag out the window without saying a word, and never even meeting your eyes. Again, this may not matter to some but I find it rude and - as I live in the area - is the only reason I don't go by more often. In fact, I will often go out of my way not to go there. After all, I go by frequently to/from SD and there are plenty of fast-food drive-throughs en route where the staff are helpful and friendly. FWIW. read more

Extremely rude staff....the lady (younger Hispanic lady) who took my order tonight way beyond rude and was of zero help. When I asked to change me drink at the first window the last said "I don't know how to do that just tell them at the second window..." okay....so I did. But wad then given an eye roll by the Hispanic lady along with a dirty look because it clearly was such an inconvenience for het to change my drink ‍my burger was disgusting ; the bun was literally decinigrated due to to much sauce..we will not Be back to this location ever again! read more

Everytime you ask for ranch they get mad at you and say they don't have it or say you have to pay extra, if I'm paying $40 for food you would expect to get some sauce for no extra charge, I asked for barbecue once and they made me take the sauce out of my bag and give it back for them to give me it. Simply ridiculous. The manager there is also extremely rude, the sauce I want should come with the meal I shouldn't have to pay extra. read more

RUDE! RUDE! RUDE! One would think that if an order was wrong, that the manager would want to correct it. Nope - this manager rather argue and be right, and make you feel like you did something wrong. I hope the owner reads this, because that manager is ruining your business. Don't waist your time going to this location. read more

AVOID THIS LOCATION AT ALL COSTS As this is the closest location to us we do try it at least once or twice a month. This 'restaurant' has rarely gotten an order correct in the last 5 years of service. Tonight was at least the 3rd time this month they closed randomly between 9pm and 11:00pm, so ignore their posted "hours" of 12pm as it is a waste of time to venture to this location in the evening past 8pm as who knows when they are actually open. "Shaniya" ( I apologize if the spelling is incorrect) was the one who informed us they were closed as of 11pm this evening after we had spent the time and gas to venture to this location. I guess the managers here do not care about their customers or training their employees. It is worth the extra 10 minutes to travel to El Cajon where you can get decent quality and correctly serviced posted hours. I am so tired of the horrible service at this locations, and I am sorry I neglected to wait to long to review after such a ridiculous amount of bad service from this location. I sincerely hope this helps future customers to seek elsewhere to get the basic service that is offered at 99% of other locations. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g29082-d4976746-r792997251-Carl_s_Jr-Alpine_California.html# read more

They're literally so rude. I asked for a drink and the woman literally yelled that they didn't have any and if that's all. I tried to say I wanted something else instead, since they didn't have that drink but she literally rushed me out. I didn't even get to order my drink or complete my order. I tried to just brush it off but when I paid and received my food, they literally gave me the INCORRECT ORDER. I asked for a double western and got a cheeseburger with jalapeños in it. Save your money. read more
