I drive to/from Arizona frequently, and I used to stop at the golden arches in Banning and Blythe because they have diet Dr. Pepper. I always buy a large coffee and a large soda, and a cheeseburger and medium fries in one of these two cities. After one too many $14-$15 meals with a microwaved, smashed burger & one lonely pickle chip, and coffee that was usually stale and burnt, I stopped buying these items and just purchased a diet Dr. Pepper on my visits. Driving home from Arizona about 3 months ago, I stopped in Blythe for a diet Dr. Pepper. I was hungry, but I figured the soda would suffice. Something finally clicked, and I couldn't make myself drive into the golden arches parking lot. Carl's Jr. is directly across the street, and that's where I landed. What a fantastic difference! I was happily surprised that Carl's Jr. has diet Dr. Pepper, on that point alone I'm a committed customer. No microwaves in sight, no smashed buns, no lonely pickle chips - Carl's Jr. food is freshly prepared and tastes good. I think prices are comparable to the golden arches, but the food is far superior and definitely a value for the dollars I spend. Bonus - the coffee is excellent - always fresh, and a good strength. I've visited 5 times in the past 3 months, and I've ordered food each time: either a Famous Star with cheese, a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, or Chicken Stars, with medium fries. Each meal was hot, delicious, and satisfying. The team works quickly and efficiently. They pay attention to each other, and to their customers. Even when it's crazy busy, someone is aware of every customer who walks through the front door. I don't mind waiting to place my order, because customers are always acknowledged promptly. I know someone will take my order at the counter as soon as they can. I've never had to stand there hoping an employee will walk by or glance at the counter to see if any customers are waiting for help. If you're stopping in Blythe for a snack or meal, I recommend you visit Carl's Jr. You won't be disappointed. read more

I'm not a Carl's Jr regular so I don't know if this is how the burgers normally taste, but I'm losing my faith in having a decent fast-food meal. Now I'm not expecting anything gourmet, just a good-old burger and fries. Is that so hard? The burger was disappointing to say the least, tasted like chemical-sauce. The fries were cold ish and lacking in fry taste. I don't even know how to explain it. We were trying to grab a fast meal on the road and just felt gross the rest of the trip. You know when you just can't get that taste out of your mouth and it's just a constant reminder? Yeah it was just like that. read more

Carl's Jr - Ordered a spicy chicken sandwich I got this nasty slimey lettuce 0 stars - Fast Food Near Me - Blythe, California

Let me start by sharing that I absolutely love Carl's Junior. Growing up, the only burger my father would eat was the Carl's Junior Famous Star burger. I love Carl's Junior, this Blythe location could be much better, they just refuse to do so. In highschool and college I worked at Carl's Junior to pay for my school and books. It is quite unfortunate that I show up, ask for a Third pound burger (fresh off the grill) and get a luke-warm, sweaty, greasy, and non-charbroiled meat patty. In the practice of common decency, I typically do not send any food back. We never know who is working the back grill, I worked at Carl's Junior many moons ago and never saw anything myself, but I heard plenty of stories of workers at other burger joints messing with peoples food. Carl's Junior doesn't do that, Carl's is a cut above the rest. At Carl's Junior, the customers love and enjoy the food. Well, that wasn't my experience today at 2:27pm at the Blythe location. I spent $14.33 for a Third pound burger meal, the cost is fine, my company pays for my meals, anyway. What was not okay was the sub-par preparation of my char-broiled burger. My burger was a luke warm, sweaty, greasy, un-charbroiled burger patty. I ate half my burger and tossed the rest. Disappointed, I patiently sat in the restaurant dining area for nearly an hour closely observing the movements of the kitchen and cashiers, based on my training and experience this Carl's Junior location in Blythe has gone rogue. Corporate upper management needs to immediately intervene in regards to food quality and preparation. Step it up, Carl's Junior Blythe. Carl's supposed to be a cut above the rest. Step it up. read more

Carls jr has usually been my go to spot whenever i want to grab some of their snacks after work usually before 2am, But for some reason their system always happens to be down around that time only when the big women of color is working there (have been told multiple times on different occasions), she seems very passive aggresive and when i drive past the window she is never even doing anything. Im not sure if she doesnt want to sell the food or what not but seems wrong on her end if thats the case. read more

They can not get orders right the wait is 15 minutes or more! I'm so tired of getting the wrong food and waiting too long forgot! Now they have some BS AI evil ordering program still got my order wrong! Will not be back. read more

Was on a road trip 9 weeks ago on our way back home to Atlanta. We came here to eat lunch after finding out that a neighboring fast food restaurant closed its indoor dining area to customers. Carl's Jr has its own free parking lot, and there were lots of available spaces. We walked in and got into a short line of customers. Only one employee was at the registers, but she did a great job taking customers' orders in a very quick and efficient manner. I ordered a Famous Star with cheese combo meal, and R ordered a hand-breaded chicken sandwich. The sodas are self serve our of their dispenser, so I filled up there, and we looked for a table. A clean table. Any clean table. And we found just three clean tables that weren't occupied. We waited only a short time before our number was called, and I picked up our food at the order counter. R said that his chicken sandwich was good. My burger tasted good, but it was already messy when I was just unwrapping it. My Famous Star looked like a ketchup bomb exploded all over everything. In spite of how much ketchup it looked like there was on the burger, the taste was not overwhelmed at all by the ketchup. I love the charbroiled taste of the burger, and the amount of onions that the employees put on the burger perfects the overall flavor. The burger was so good! Overall, great service (except for how the burger looked, but, then, I got to eat burgers, not just look at them) good tasting burger, but this place needs a good cleaning. read more

Don't eat here. Just don't. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The girl taking our order was shouting about her own personal things to other coworkers when we walked in, and back at it again after taking our order. Went to grab some Root Beer, and the dispenser looked odd as it came out, so we tasted it; it was not mixing properly. Took a taste, and it did not taste like Root Beer. Moved on. Our order came out before we got a chance to sit, which was not a good sign. Sure enough, fries were stale, and burgers were smashed up as we unwrapped them. We were hungry, so we ate our crappy food. Went to the restroom to wash my hands, and it reeked of sewer. I almost threw up my crappy food from the smell. Worst Carl's Jr I've been to in my life. read more

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE FOOD!!! Ordered a double western burger and got not one not two but no cheese at all.

So, obviously when you're driving through the desert there are few options for a quick lunch before getting back on the road. We chose Carl's, the clerk was very polite and helpful, she even gave me great advice for where to take my dog for a potty break nearby. The food was pretty good considering it is fast food. I liked the cherry coke. It was clean and had a bounce place for the kiddos. read more

On a road trip from Northern CA to AZ and after 9 hours finally decided to pull over to eat. It was 8:30pm and after parking we found that the lobby was closed because the AC was down. We certainly couldn't go through the drive through because where would we eat? It was 104 and no places to sit outside. Not convenient for travelers with no place to go and just before hitting miles of nothing but desert. read more

I have had terrible drive through experiences with careless employees. The food is usually good if they remember it all. I've been the only person in the drive through lane on multiple occasions for over 10 minutes and they'll have me move forward and not get me my food for a long long time. They are probably trying to get their "efficiency" up by making it seem like they're moving customers in their drive through quickly but in reality they move you up and after you're past their window you're an afterthought and they are no longer trying to rush and take their sweet time. I've tried to contact them but it's almost impossible to hear back in multiple contact methods on their websites. Would not recommend this Carls and these experiences make me reconsider not coming to another Carls ever again just because of the lack of accountability from the corporation and terrible ethics. read more

fry's were cold , fish sandwich was disgusting, used to love the grilled fish but this fried thing is really bad. the tray of food had no ketchup or napkins so I had to go back to the counter. what a mistake picking this place. read more

Terrible service. If you're going to ask the customer if they would like to add a piece of chocolate cake to their order at least put it in the bag. My order was $26.02 and that was using a coupon. Got home and the cake wasn't in my bag so I called them and they said you want to come back and get it? I said well not really but I decided to go back and pick it up or I may never get it. Went 10 miles to pick it up and was offered nothing for my trouble. This place is redicoulous for the prices. read more

Firstly - friendly service! Just tried the beyond famous super star. This is the first time I've been back to Carl's Jr. in 7 years. The fries were good and cooked with skin on the potato - just how I like em! The double burger was great, fresh veggies with a generous amount of onion! Burger comes to $6.50 as a single and $9.50 as a double (without cheese). Get your vegan on at Carl's Jr.! PS, confusion at the register yielded a super star but the manager was super friendly about upgrading for the $4.00 up charge. read more

We used to get the tacos on sale, loved. Took the sale away ate the fish wrap it was terrible.

Stopped there after traveling from Arizona. Restroom was disgusting. Food was okay, service was was good.

Not friendly at all. Person on the front (Jenissa F.) was rude from the start. Was not busy, no person on front of or behind us prior to ordering. Not a good vibe. I hope her day got better. read more

This is the second time we've been to this location. Both times as were passing through town. The first time there were homeless in the parking lot. Luckily, we parked just to switch driver's and went through the drive-thru to get our food. Probably not an ideal place to stop at night if alone. The food was made well and the expedite time through drive-thru was good. read more

Carl's Jr - Burned breading. - Fast Food Near Me - Blythe, California

Congratulations to this Carl's. I always knew that one day I would actually find the hell hole of a fast food restaurant and this was it. I have travelled from CA to WI, from WI to FL, AR, TX, OK, through some seriously back water areas, including somehow landing at a place in MO that people were told NOT to bring their guns into, because they didn't want to clean up a mess, ( different story there!) And you would think that a major corporate business like this, on a major freeway leading from CA to AZ would be somehow different, especially with covid running rampant. Seriously, the only reason I stopped was because I needed to use a restroom. However, I'm one of those types who truly believes in buying something if you are going to stop. Ok. Run into the bathroom. 1. Not one of the doors lock. NOT ONE. Most of them look like they have had the locks drilled out at least once. 2. If that bathroom had been cleaned in the last week, I would go back and eat off the floor. That's how sure I am that it hadn't. Yes, toilet paper, but nothing else had been touched. No covers for the toilet, and it needed one. I used toilet paper. 3. The smell when you flushed was like a thousand cat boxes regurgitating back up the pipe. There was a woman waiting for the stall behind me and she and I were both gagging. 4. Went to order food. No one behind the counter had any clue. It was a hot mess of fries scattered, sticky counter and bored employees. Ordered. Famous star, waffle fries, drink. When received the bag looked like it had been run over in the drive through and then replaced back in the pile. The drink was so watered down that I'm sure the carbonated water took one look at the pipe and just went in to die. Got into my car and left. The fries were so cold and soggy I'm sure they had been waiting for a day for a random person to request them. My burger was not hot, but at least it had a temperature that was above warm. Someone at the corporate level needs to go take a serious look at this place. With all the money that should be running through it, I'm floored that they would allow an owner to keep it such a miserable dump of a place. It was seriously shocking. Won't ever darken that door again. It would have been cleaner to pee in the parking lot. Visit was on 10/13/20 read more

After repeatedly getting the wrong order, you would think I would know better. Lazy immature unprofessional employees at Carl's Jr in Blythe has not only convinced me to check the items ordered but ensure the order is accurate. I only ordered 3 items. One of the items had been sitting there because it was stale and dry. The steak and egg burrito was actually a bacon and cheese burrito. Jokes on me read more

I talked the family into going to this place because I like the Santa fe chicken sandwich . . . They didn't put a chile on it. I took it back and they didn't start over, took my sandwich and put a chile on it. I got it back with the cheese wiped off and the previous tomato missing. Why cant places just get it right from the beginning? How hard is that? It wasnt a specialty order and its 4th of July. . . The place is empty! read more

Wow, No yelpers in Blythe? Me the first review? HHmm.. OK - Well, first of MAD PROPS to the new natural fries!! Three stars for sure! Good move on the part of Carls Jr. They still have the skin on, and are cooked nice and crispy - with a hot, yummy center - as the fries should be. But, damn - I burned the roof of my mouth they were SO hot!!! - had to spread them out on the tray, so they could cool a bit! (Better hot than soggy or cold.. or greasy tho) ZERO stars for the Santa fe chicken sandwich - The bun was smooshed - the lettuce was dead - limp and lifeless - toilet paper woulda had more life than the lettuce. - and, it was a mess (and not a six dollar burger mess that is good) - the santa fe secret sauce, and the liquified goo cheese was everywhere but where it should be.. I almost think they microwaved one they stepped on or found under the counter. I shoulda stuck to my old stand by - the guacamole six dollar burger - but I was traveling, short on time, and needed to skidaddle! Next - SERVICE - ZERO STARS - 8:09pm - place has two customers sitting down. Three people behind the counter at the registers - ALL three are talking about how someone just came back from lunch - and how someone else needed to go. My daughter and I are the only ones in line... we stand.. they look.... All three look at a register.. and stare at it.. almost like it is a sacred relic they are afraid to touch. I swear - they just stood there... Finally the manager walks up (I know this cuz he is about 20 years older than them, and looks like he has a clue) - says have you been helped? I said no. ... - He puts one of them at the cash register - and the guy snaps out of the coma. He takes the order - I order a Santa fe chicken and my daughter orders a drink (She didn't want to eat - guess it was her intuition this place was hinky) I pay - I am hungry, tired.. total came out to $10.10 ... Well, I saved the receipt (cuz I was gunna yelp this place for lousy customer service ) So, good fries!!! Crappiest sandwich from Carls Jr ever (AND I am the one who prefers this place over the Mcdonalds, Burger king, etc) Service was LOUSY Well, since this is a popular tourist stop to re fill, and grab a quick meal - I figure they don't need to train employees as good. Or maybe this is "the best of the best" help out there? YOU tarnished the Carls star douche bags! (See other good reviews I gave another Carls jr) read more

Negative stars. This place went down so fast. Service is okay at best. Drive-thru didn't even answer the other day... I left. I can't go in that restroom anymore, I felt sick. I will stick to drive thru. And the soda always tastes flat. This place had started off great a few years ago. It was clean and decent. The breakfast biscuits are great when they don't over cook them. Just seems like the place is being sabotaged. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. We walked in today to get some food. The gentleman that walked in ahead of us (hispanic) did not have a mask on, and the workers in the back (hispanic) had their masks pulled down under their chins. The cashier (hispanic) took the guys order in front of us, without a mask, and then proceeded to tell us that we had to have masks to take our order. My husband said wait a minute, you're telling me that you will take this guys order with no mask, and your workers in the back don't have their masks on, and you won't take ours because we don't have a mask on? Note that we are caucasian. She said I won't take your order. So we walked out. I am ok wearing a mask if there is fair and equal treatment, but this was not ok. I will never stet foot into this establishment again. They definitely need to do some housekeeping in their employment department. read more

In keeping with the theme of others reviews on here Carl's Jr managed to mess up our order too. We stopped here on our long drive across I-10 just like most others do and after successfully merging back onto the highway there was no way I was turning back around. That being said we were frustrated by the experience since they weren't busy at the time either. Side note, 7.5 minutes is too long to make a fast food order in a drive thru. They had a clock in the window. read more

Nothing special, we stopped off on our way to Cali for a quick bite. Just your typical fast food franchise. Food - OK Service - OK Price - OK Location is in a bad area, surprised by the amount of homeless people around. But it is just off the freeway. read more

Usually we like them a lot. Though I went there the other day and the baby back hamburger sandwich was the worst ever It was burnt. Nothing like the pic, no fries, dry, barely any sauce. Even the strawberry lemonade was blah. My husband said he rather have my cooking any day,! read more

Absolute worst customer service. Should've known when I walked past McDonalds and it was super busy and this place was completely empty of any customers at all. The lady behind the huge plexiglass barked at me over a mask. She didn't have one to give me. I suggested that I walk through the drive through. She said she wouldn't serve me unless I was in a car. I couldn't drive my semi truck through their drivewaI. Obviously they don't care to have any customers read more

First of all, let's get through the lone high point. The chicken tenders that my sister got were amazing. Fresh, tasty, juicy - excellent all around. Driving through from Phoenix area to Bakersfield and stopped for dinner and a bathroom break. Something in the ladies room is dead. I'm not sure what - I'm not sure where - and I'm not sure for how long - but it smells like death in that bathroom. It is quite possibly the filthiest, most disgusting bathroom I have ever entered in my almost 45 years on this planet. It was horrific and I wouldn't wish that nastiness on my worst enemy. Food. My burger was a sloppy, disgusting, over-mayonnaised mess. It was essentially liquefied by the third bite. It was impossible to eat like one normally eats a burger. The bun was sogged out, the meat was slightly burned and the large, end cuts of unripe or over-ripe vegetables were covered in a layer of goo. My husband's burger was better - but not by much. read more

I don't typically give bad reviews of places (I just won't review at all), but this place was absolutely horrible. The bathroom is absolutely disgusting and smelled rancid. There were a couple stalls with toilet seat covers covered in poop stuffed in the corners. Does this place not get inspected?! Also, the girl taking orders (she seemed to be training though) was very slow, and had to turn around and ask if the Western Bacon Cheeseburger had cheese on it. Ugh, not a good place to stop. read more

We stopped to get breakfast on our trip to Arizona. We walked in, there was a cashier taking payment from another employee. After paying they both walked away, no acknowledgement of us being there. We then stood there for a good 2 minutes plus and no one said hi, we'll be right with you or anything. Employees looked at us several times and did NOTHING. I've seen bad customer service many times but no customer service? We finally walked out with 2 employees watching us. Wrote twice to Carl's Jr corporate and nothing. They will never get another dollar from us. I would give them zero stars if I could. read more

I decided to write this review after I couldn't achieve satisfactory resolution of a messed up order with the manager. Here's what happened: I ordered a Guacamole Bacon Burger Meal with no onions, to go. The Guacamole Burger costs more than the others, presumably because of the guacamole. Later, after I left and started eating it somewhere else, I discovered 1) there was no guacamole whatsoever and 2) there were onions. Since I was starving, I removed the onions and ate the burger anyway. An hour later I went back to the restaurant to politely point out the error they made and asked for a resolution. I showed them the picture of the guacamole-lacking Guacamole burger I ate, and the onions. No, they did not give me another burger. No, they did not offer to give me a full refund. No, they did not even refund me the $1.10 difference between the Guacamole burger and another burger. No, the manager on duty did not apologize. She said there is nothing she could do since I ate the sandwich instead of throwing it away. Interesting logic! I pay you for something, you don't deliver what I paid for, and there is nothing you can do? Fellow Yelpers: if one day you have a hankering for a Guacamole Burger without any guacamole, at the full Guacamole Burger price, this is your place! Otherwise, there is a Jack in the Box down the street... read more

This location is terrible. I'm only giving it one star because there are no lower choices. Bathrooms look like something you'd expect south of the US border. Tables were dirty, greasy and didn't look like they'd been clean in a while. Not sure how this place passes health inspections. I would also think that Carl's Jr corporate would do random checks. read more
