I always looked forward to stopping here for my Western Bacon Cheeseburger..and the location was ideally located half way between Monterey and Palm Springs. I will truly miss this place. read more

Good stop on the I-5 between LA and Bakersfield. Clean and well-kept up. Food is standard Carl's. Staff is courteous and helpful. Even saw them sprucing up restrooms. And this time of year, air conditioning was welcome! read more

Just what the hangry travelers needed for this road-trip. Steak and Eggs Combo for her/Breakfast Burger Combo, no bacon for me. Both medium orders with hash browns and orange juice included. They got it right! read more

Quick lunch break. Ordered the Big Carl Burger lettuce wrap. The beef patties itself is so good and really don't need the bun. The drive thru was slow. It took a while for me to get my burger when I paid. Overall the service was well and the burger was good. read more

This 5 star review is for Cecilia who greeted us with a smile and was kind and patient with my elderly father this afternoon. She made helpful suggestions on what to order. The restaurant was empty when we stopped by this afternoon on our way back to the Bay Area. Cecilia was very friendly and we chatted for a bit. She expressed surprise when I told her that my father is 92, and commented that he looked much younger. Our interaction with her left both my father and I with a smile. I hope her manager sees this and realizes what a gem she is. Thanks for making our day Cecilia! read more

Monday August 23rd, 2021 @ 9:41pm *** Drove up to the drive thru and all we said was "5 piece" when we were immediately cut off by employee saying "we're out out of chicken nuggets". We spoke back saying "I'm sorry, what was that"? When the employee later yelled saying "WE'RE OUT OF CHICKEN NUGGETS". All we said was "thank you" and drove off. We've been to this location once before this visit and received great service but will no longer be giving our business here. read more

The restaurant is empty however the service is terribly slow. The drive thru has taken 10 minutes to serve 2 cars.

At least it's better than subway. The staff aren't very competent and the food could be better.

Driving by with my husband from Vegas. I was not expecting it to be amazing. When we walked in staff was friendly and we got our food in a timely manner. But the best part was the freshness of the food. Warm toasty buns, fresh hot fires read more

Yelp challenge 2015. 221/365 This place is in the middle of nowhere off the I-5 in Buttonwillow. You pass here on the way to Nor Cal, Kern River or the race tracks. Being in nomans land means the employees are from the middle of nowhere too. Zero excitement from anyone here. No dose of morning sunshine. Wish I had my happy spray. Was in town for a race event staying next door. The sleeping bear and my little dragon needed to be fed. Walked over and ordered a coffee and french toast sammie. Frozen french toast, you know the toaster kind. Stuffed with egg, cheese. And undercooked sausage, completely drenched in syrup. Way too sweet for me and the coffee not so fresh. I only ate 1/2. The bear of mine had the monster bisquit, OJ and iced coffee. The iced coffee was just okay, if you like it weak. He said his meaty bisquit was good. To me Carls does well with lunch. Not so much breakfast. Plenty of parking. Easy trailer, truck access. #706 read more

Absolute ripofff! $5 fries... $10 chicken sandwiches... poorly prepared with mistakes on the orders. Keep driving or eat at In n Out across the street! read more

All my love to the Carl's Jr soldiers who serve here. Incredible ambiance, almost ethereal and dream like. If you're a fan of Alan Jackson, look no further. We enjoyed seven back-to-back repeats of Country Boy (really had hoped to fit in a few more before we left)! Nothing quite like hot food and good tunes. Definitely check out on your way through to experience your fever dreams come to life. read more

No line. Burgers and fries available for breakfast unlike the Golden Arches...excellent. The Diablo burger...poppers, habanero sauces and jalapeño slices for 3 layers of heat that my husband promptly consumed. (Written by husband) read more

I stopped here because I was so hungry and all I saw were fast food restaurants at the usual pitstops. My superstar was underwhelming. It tasted like nothing. It stopped my hunger, but that's about it. Bathroom was clean as well as the restaurant. read more

Slowest service in the area. Come here cause there were no cars in the drive thru and still waited 15 minutes. Food is good but I come here for my lunch break but spend my time waiting. Horrible. read more

The food was good but I was so hungry But the music in here is awful. The bathrooms were gross. The soda machine had no ice. And only some flavors. Unless you're dying for a Carl's go somewhere else read more

muy limpio el lugar, buena comida y servicio a cliente exelente..........................

Been here several days. Employees are super friendly. Had the beyond burger famous star. Best veggie burger I have ever had at a fast food restaurant! I'm not a vegetarian but always enjoy a veggie burger as a break from the heavy stuff. Soooo good! read more

Do not eat here. We were heading North over the weekend and stopped for lunch. As we got on the highway, we went to eat our food. The idiot cook put a 50 cent piece size of chicken in the bun with two pickles and no sauce. It looked like garbage. Do they think it was a smart thing? Worst food ever. read more

This is probably the dirties carls jr. I have been to. Looks like the ladies restrooms havent been cleaned in days.. even the mens toilet was missing the toilet seat... the buns on my burger was anemic looking and soggy... it was a sad sad burger... and no place to change my baby for being right off CA I-5 and all the foot track im suprised at the condition of this restaurant... Needless to say I will not be stopping by here on my trips to Socal read more

-We decided to stop by here because we were hungry and needed to fill up on gas. There aren't too many businesses around which can be good and bad. We ordered some meals to go. It wasn't as busy which is good but we had to wait a little for our food to be ready. When we got our meal we doubled checked to make sure we got every item that we had ordered. We were missing one item and told them and right away gave us what was missing. Customer service was good, they were all nice and did not have a problem. -Food on the other hand was a problem. You can tell some of the food has been standing there for a while (ex. onion rings). Which makes sense since probably a lot of people don't order them. I would probably stick with the basics. Fries were also okay. I ordered a famous star and it was good, nothing much to complain about. My fiancé ordered a bacon cheeseburger and he did not like it at all. The bacon and onion rings on it were old and overcooked. Probably won't be eating here whenever we take a trip again up to Nor Cal. read more

Very poor service. Impolite staff. The food was cold. The coffee was cold. Restaurant area was dirty. The restaurant was crowded, but only one cashier worked, so had to wait in a long line to order. There are many good Carl's J branches, go to another branch. Do not waste your time and money on this one. read more

Idk what's with the bad reviews but I'm beyond amazed with this location, I've been to so many while over the road and this one topped it. Very clean, staff is very polite and the food and shake I ordered was definitely way better than any other location I've been to. read more

10:30 AM stopped for breakfast. Women's restroom was filthy, clearly not cleaned in some time, judging by pink ring in toilet and paper all over floor. No paper in one stall. Should have left before eating. Mentioned to server that ladies room needed attention, but never saw anyone go in there to check. Bad rep for Carls. read more

At 5 PM on Friday, they were out of coffee, tea, and milkshakes. The bathrooms were so filthy that I couldn't wait inside of it with my elderly mother because of the smell. On the positive side, the manager was very responsive to my concerns so I appreciate that. read more

Great tasting breakfast burrito and you gotta love the tater tots. My burrito was fresh and the orange juice hit the spot. My wife had the Sunrise Croissant and the boys ate French toast dips. Everyone was happy as we traveled back home from Northern Cali. The restrooms are clean and the service isn't bad. Make a pit stop if you need some Carl's Jr. while driving between northern and southern Cali. read more

I'm not too big on fast food but when traveling it's easy and fast to order from a drive through and eat as you drive. We pulled up and placed our order. After we paid they gave us our drinks.. First mistake.. They have us 4 cokes and a powerade while we asked for 2 ice tea, 1 powerade, 1 diet coke and a regular coke.. It's a good thing we took sips to make sure we had the right drinks. Then we were asked to pull up to wait for our food. Service seemed slow yet they weren't that busy. The order was correct but they forgot to put the sauce in the fish sandwich and didn't taste like it wasn't seasoned. The turkey burger seemed a bit dry. The other burgers seemed better according to my brothers, they had the western burger and famous star. I don't think I will eat at this carls junior again.. read more

My name is Quandale Dingle Berry, I came in after hours on the road, I was very hungry and I wanted some chicken tenders and a shake, but they were all out. I ended up getting a famous star and oh my it tasted like absolutely shit it's the only way to describe it. The famous star patty was more burnt than my Great grandma's ashes and tasted like charcoal. The restrooms were musty as fuck as I walked in there I thought I was in a sewer because of how bad it smelled and so many things are wrong with this Carl's jr. The burger hit me harder then my dad when I was little kid. I ended up with explosive diarrhea it was so bad I was bleeding hope they burn that place alive never eating there again. read more

The handicap restroom was filthy and the tray they served our food on has a squished dead fly on it. read more

SLOW!!! Doesn't matter if you're the only car or the 10th. You're waiting the same amount of time. Might as well go order a sit down meal.

AVOID!! AVOID!! AVOID!! If you survive the disease you get from the 3,000 people who went straight from the toilet to the soda machine and smeared their hands all over it before you, then you'll die of old age waiting for your food to get cold before they actually give it to you. Tomane or Plague....Either way you'll end up in the ICU for Christmas. Habib Garcia, the manager, really needs to rethink his holiday staffing schedule, because the one he's using ain't working. read more

The staff doesn't comprehend English. I ordered a steak, egg and cheese breakfast burrito. Yet I only got an egg burrito. So sad.

One star - food came quickly and drive-thru attendant was pleasant. Unfortunately the food was awful. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit. Biscuit was dry and super salty. Bacon was not cooked and horribly flavored with fake liquid smoke. The wife got a famous star with cheese which was dry with a hockey puck hard burnt patty. Just awful! read more

Seating area was filthy. Orders were messed up, soda machine was out of almost everything, food was burnt. The high chair for the baby looks like it hasn't been washed or even wiped down in who knows how long. Definitely won't be eating here again. read more

Classic Carl's Jr. Great burger. Clean. Friendly staff. Perfect spot off I-5. Easy On-Off.

So I thought the meaning of grilled cheese sandwich meant it's grilled? Just got 2 breakfast sandwiches and got home the bread still white out of the bag. Smh not cool carl's. Guess mcdonald's next door gets my business now. read more

One star is being generous. They never and I mean never get my order right. We were literally the only people there and they still messed up our order. Gave us the wrong order Twice! Ordered chicken strips and got a chicken sandwich. informed we would have to wait 8 minutes for them to correct it. Ordered a blue Powerade, when we got to the window was informed they do not have it also. To top it off the food tasted horrible. By all my experiences with this location I'd say its time to shut this one down and put in a Wendy's! read more

Food: 3/5 Price: 2/5 Service: 3/5 Ambience: 2/5 When you're on the road you really don't have many options. Stopped my Carl's Jr for a quick burger, and it was a bit disappointing. The store was quite dirty with sticky floors, and the cashiers were all talking in the back. I got a Charbroiled BBQ chicken sandwich which turned out to be very salty with way too much BBQ sauce. Sad piece of crumbled lettuce and soggy bread. The burger was huge though, probably twice the size as a cheeseburger from McDonalds. But the price was definitely higher. Ordered: * Charbroiled BBQ chicken sandwich ($5.69) read more

Never thought I'd review a fast food establishment, but my experience here was by far the best I've had in that category. Stopped here on the way home from SJ. Walked in, country music playing, I'm already happy as hell. It's so rare to find a place playing country music. Friendliest service I've received, quick food, these guys helped end my vacation on a high note. I hope you guys do well in life. Thanks for a good night. read more

Ok so I'm going in for a super star because I'm hungry ok and when I order it I look at my burger to make sure it's superstar and I get a famous star like why is it really that hard to put another patty on it read more
