Date: Saturday, October 25th, 2025 Party of: 2 Meal: Late Dinner Pickup Time Ordered: a little before 11pm Time Picked Up: about 15 mins later Ordered Thru: Carl's Jr App *Single Spicy Western Bacon Cheeseburger ($8.59) *Jalapeño Double Cheeseburger ($5.19) - Lettuce Wrap *6 piece - Jalapeno POPPERS Bites ($4.99) *Waffle Fries ($4.89) *Daily APPy Hour - 25% Off Sips, Sides, & Shakes: 2PM-5PM & 8PM-3AM (-$2.47) The hubby and I have been heading up to Tahoe almost every weekend from SJ. Since we have dinner once we arrive in Tahoe, we're always trying to find places open late enough for us to grab food. I decided to check out the CJ closest to Tahoe on the way. Ordering thru the app was easy as always. And you can use the coupons on the app as I know CJ's can add up. (They are one of the pricier fast food burger chains in my opinion.) I always adore a good lettuce wrap. For some reason, the ones here are always super messy since they just use pieces on lettuce on each side instead of actually wrapping the burger in a large piece of lettuce. Otherwise everything was standard. I'm always looking for spots open until ay least midnight to hit up on our drive. This is one of them. REVIEW #3900 read more

I normally do not review places, however I feel obligated to leave a review because in my 29 years of life, I have not visited such a fine Carl's Jr than I have here at this Cameron Park location. I believe it was Pablo that took my order and man he was on it. Very polite, and the food came out very fresh and delicious. Thanks Pablo. read more

Stopped by for our morning bacon, egg and cheese biscuit today. Usually a morning staple. Today We were so disappointed to open our breakfast to a cold unappealing sandwich. Hash browns were cold. Didn't find out until back on the road. Not a good start to the day. read more

You won't have a business without customers. If you treat your customers badly, they won't come back and eventually you won't have enough customers to survive. My daughter, my wife and I all ordered "hangover" burger which was free the day after the super bowl if you order through the app. All three of us ordered and I was given the task to pick all three up. Both my wife and my daughter texted me their order confirmations with their order numbers. Upon getting to the window at the drive through I was told that they didn't have any of the orders. The woman at the window even went so far as to say that the orders from my wife and daughter would require them to be in the vicinity since their location tracking didn't let them start the order until they were close. Both my wife's and my daughter's order confirmations said that their order would be done by 1:15? Is that a lie? Also, my wife's location tracking is off all the time and she uses the app all the time. What I got from them was a big load of B.S.#1 and B.S.#2 She then said that they would have to do their orders again. Really? I'm sitting in the drive through at the time they said the orders would be done with order numbers and they can't make the burgers? I asked if they could look up the order numbers...."no, we can't look those up." Load of B.S. #3 It sounded like the lady was going to have me leave the drive through lane and pull around front to hopefully get this done when her manager, Eric, stepped in and gave me load of B.S. #4. I ended up leaving with the one order (mine) that they did find. (load of B.S. #5) I've been paying good money (Carl's Jr aint cheap) for as long as this store has been open. They are consistently the slowest drive through experience that you can have and the food quality is spotty. Guess what....not any more. You lost my patronage and your future annuity that makes up my business. Look down in the reviews about a year ago on 2/12/24 from Sue T, and there is a similar experience from someone whose order wasn't found in their system. You should have fixed this issue a year ago (or more). I feel sorry for your employees. Soon they will be out looking for work because this store will no longer exist with no customers. read more

This is Carl's Jr is my favorite one to go versus the one in Placerville and Folsom (near the freeway). Since the pandemic, I have been living the drive thru lifestyle more so and have used this drive thru 4-5 times since. The food is always served hot, the burger fixins are fresh, packaged well, and terrific customer service. On my last visit, the drive thru staff person asked if I had a coupon. I did not, so she matched the prices to the best available discount option. That helped me save around $2-3 dollars. Yay!! The CJs is a block off the Highway 50. Pretty easy to get to and back in the freeway. To be honest, I do not know if the dining room is back open yet. I only use the drive thru. read more

Always good food. Breakfast burgers, Guacamole burgers, Steak and egg breakfast burritos, Famous Star single burgers. Served great & hot with French fries or hash brown rounds. Friendly service as well. read more

Great burgers with fresh lettuce! Guy behind the counter was friendly and even brought orders to all the customers.

Had a horrific experience at the Placerville location with Mayra and her staff. I drove to Cameron Park to get my food instead. Nick and the other people working are amazing! Service was great, food was amazing and I was laughed at, rushed to order, or treated rudely. read more

$9 for a fast food hamburger. Outrageous, they will be out of business in no time at all unless they change

From now on, I will take the drive down to this Carls Jr because they are SO much better than the Placerville location! Staff has always been welcoming and nice at the window and they know how to make a burger! Just look at my Placerville burger in comparison to my Cameron Park burger! Carls Jr is my favorite fast food joint so I know which ones are good! read more

The food bagging needs to improve. Both mine and my wife's fries and onion rings were placed upside down. Just careless. We are paying more money for worse service. read more

I was in California on business and stopped in for breakfast at the Cameron Park location. I had a steak/egg/cheese breakfast burrito with hash browns. One of the best fast food breakfast burritos I have ever had. Hash browns were really crispy and the manager brought me salsa when he delivered the food to my table. Friendly staff, clean restaurant and restrooms. Great experience!! read more

Was Jonsing for a Western Bacon Cheeseburger. Ordered it, was repeated back to me. Got home and it was a Super Star, not ok at these prices.

Closed 2 hours early and employee sat in the lobby and scrolled on her phone while I tried to get her attention then told me no. read more

Carl's Jr - Employee sitting on phone at 9pm with door locked - Burgers Near Me - Cameron Park, California

Most fast food restaurants get terrible reviews, you see 1 or 2 stars often. Why? It's not clean, and that turns people off. This place is above average clean on my recent visit and even the restroom which used to be pretty old, at this location has been recently remodeled. It's the same old Carl's, but orders here come out fast, correct and it's generally above average for the genre. Patio and play zone for children is also a bonus. Parking here can be tight, but if you are coming through with a rig or boat, you can use the dirt lot in the back (near the motel) or the Safeway parking lot across the street and do some walking, through not very walkable Cameron Park. Of all the fast, cheap food in Cameron Park, a road stop between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, this place does pretty well. read more

Carl's Jr - New and clean - Burgers Near Me - Cameron Park, California

Don't do many fast food reviews but if you want a new & clean stop over this will do just fine. The Super Star combo is the same as any other Carl's but its a comfortable place to get your energy back for the drive through the hills on the way to Tahoe. Friendly staff and well maintained, at least for us at 3 pm on a Sunday afternoon. read more

I'd say a 3.5. I never thought I'd ever review a Carl's Jr. I've never been or cared to go. But I've made the Beyond Meat burgers and I wanted to try it from a fast food setting. This CJ was modern and pretty clean. Some sticky tables but mostly tables were bussed and nothing on the floor. The service was polite. Dude may not have been 100 percent smiley but he was patient and helpful and showed interest in one of my tattoos. Food came out fairly quickly considering I doubt they get as many requests for Beyond Meat burgers as regular burgers. The patties are vegan but they come with cheese and mayo so CJ version is not. They are GOOD. Honestly. I really like them. They have a nice grilled taste to them, it doesn't taste weird. And with the mayo ketchup cheese combo (I've had them vegan before too, still yum) it's good! Wish I could get a double patty but it's pricier than a normal burger. I like the brand and I gotta commend CJ for adding these patties to their menu. This is to me the best plant based patty out there. Fried zucchini were meh tho. read more

Carl's Jr - Beyond Meat Burger. Yum! - Burgers Near Me - Cameron Park, California

This Carl's Jr has never been customer friendly...but today was beyond....ordered thru the app...confirmation came back with order number....employee said order never came thru...refused to honor the order. Told me it was my fault...really? I don't run the app...had to go in and make a sence in the restaurant next to another man who ordered on the app and his didn't go thru either....not a good look for your business read more

Zero stars as they wouldn't accept cash to pay for our food. Never going there ever again

I was so happy to find a Carl's near my work so I drove there during lunch, waited in the drive thru and placed my order. Team was friendly and seemed to have my order taken care of. When I opened my 5 piece hand breaded chicken strips it was the smallest chicken strips I have ever seen from CJ. I get times are hard but come on. Think I will find another location from now on. read more

It's 7:30 and we can't go in to order. We can't drive through because our rig is too big. Furthermore when trying to figure out if we could order in a different way, the manager was very rude. read more

We received a flyer in our mailbox (USPS) for a Gold Digger chicken sandwich. Now, I love chicken sandwiches and this looked like it would be a 'winner.' Oh, so wrong. We stopped in the Carl's Jr. in Cameron Park, CA on our way home from a quick trip into Folsom because we were going to stop at Safeway, across the street afterward. We ordered 2 Gold Digger chicken sandwiches (buy 1, pay $1 for a second) but what my husband was given had a pepper on it and NO bacon, plus it had cheese, never his fav. The service person did grab a couple of bacon strips for my husband to add to the sandwich they erroneously gave him after he asked for a new sandwich, the one he actually ordered. So basically, throw the bacon on and that will make the wrong sandwich ok? NOT! My sandwich, however, was exactly as expected, bacon, lettuce, tomato, breaded chicken piece, and the CJ Carolina Gold BBQ sauce. I admit I added his pepper to my sandwich because I frankly love peppers, but it was still tasteless except for a couple of bits that had seasoning in the breading. We also ordered 1 bag of onion rings. The total meal was, how can I say it nicely? UNDERWHELMING, to say the least. And what is it that they fried the rings in? The rings were undercooked and the oil is still sticking to my mouth and throat like a really bad peanut butter sandwich! Yuck! So disappointing. Needless to say, we won't be going back no matter what kind of deal they offer. read more

Super accommodating when they were short staffed to get us food when we could not use the drive through with our trailer. That's all I needed to come back again. read more

Very OWO environment. Overall good food :3 hehe. Service was, amazing fast, and friendly. Very clean and sanitary. The bathrooms were actually nice to use unlike other places ive been. THANK YOU CARLS JR STAFF FOR FEEDING ME AND BEING SANITARY :-D read more

This CJ is the best, most consistent fast food I think I've ever had. Been here 5 times now, and every time it's been Noticeably friendly people, giving you Noticeably fresh food. I frequent CJ about once or a month or so over the years, and this location stands alone. Tonight I was their very last customer to order from the drive threw, and as always, my fries were as fresh as if I were their first customer. Really exceeds my expectations every time. I'm not a yelp reviewer kinda guy, or even a fast food kinda guy, but I'm going out of my way to say this place deserves to be recognized. Good job guys! read more

We've lived within a few miles of Carl's Jr. for more than 17 years but today was the first time we went inside the restaurant. We went because we read that they're serving the Beyond Beef Burger which we've purchased before at the grocery store and prepared at home. Carl's has a Beyond Beef Star Burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and dressing. We really can't tell the difference between this and a ground beef patty. We seldom eat red meat and now this is a way to have a burger without the cholesterol and hormones. The restaurant was tasteful decorated in grays, reds and stainless. It was spotless and looked like it may have recently been redecorated because it looked so new, with tables, booths and counter type eating area. We ordered at the counter and they brought the food to our table when it was ready, which wasn't long. We each had a Beyond Beef Star Burger, drinks, and shared an order of fries and an order of fried zucchini. The man that we ordered from at the counter went back and changed the orders after we added the additional items, to combo meals which saved us some money. He was friendly and personable, a cut above the service at most fast food restaurants. He acted like he enjoyed his job. The fried zucchini was breaded, semi-crisp and deep fried to a golden brown, much better than we expected. The fries were typical. The Beyond Burgers got us in this place, but we will definitely be back for more. Prices are reasonable, although the Beyond Burger patties are $2 more than the cow patties. We love having the choice. read more

WOW. After many years of going to this place off and on (it's local and there are limited choices), and every time saying it was probably out last visit we went today. For some unknown reason, our burgers were delicious. The buns weren't soggy or smashed as usual, the meat was hot, and the cheese was actually "melted" on the burgers. AND, to top it off, the fries were hot and crispy. Most of the people working there are friendly and the service is good, but the food quality has always been abysmal. But not today! Nice job. read more

Haven't had Carl's Jr. in a very long time- total disappointment- since when are the onion rings salted???? Manager offered to replace but honestly don't know if I'll go back read more

Staff was rude and took a coupon from us without using it. They shooed us away when we asked why the coupon wasn't applied when it was valid and they just told us to leave. This isn't our first problem with this location. read more

This Cameron Park Carl's Jr. doesn't honor advertised specials. They lure you in on widely advertised food specials and then when you pay for your food, they charge you the regular full price. I consider this fraud and false advertising. Stay away from this fast food restaurant. They will Rip You Off. read more

Carl's Jr - Price they charged me for the items. Was suppose to be $2.49 each. They charged me $2.99 each. - Burgers Near Me - Cameron Park, California

Food - Great, consistent! Customer service - personable, order is correct. Speed - Lacking, especially at the drive-thru. Not sure what goes on inside the restaurant, the drive-thru is always at a snail's pace. Even with one car. Me. I don't understand. I try to avoid going here, but it's the closest location. I'll go in to order next time just our of curiosity. read more

This has to be one of the worst drive thru Carl's Jr. I've ever been to. Every time it takes so long to get food. I never learn... and a lot of times I only see one employee. Bad management if you ask me!! read more

Mess of a Carl's Jr. I asked for a Breakfast Burger combo. They gave me some gross combination of eggs, cheese, and jalapenos. The Drive Thru staff was rude and, as usual, out of Ranch cups due to a warehouse shortage. The tater tots were OK. First and last time visiting this restaurant. read more

Made a late night stop here on the way to Tahoe. My evaluations criteria for a drive through. Can I understand them through the speakers, does the food come out quickly and is it edible? The answer was yes on all three resulting in a 3 star rating. read more

Service is always spot on at this location. Carl's Jr in my opinion is one of the better fast food joints in cameron park. The All Natural Burger was alittle different than i expected it to be with the bread and butter pickles adds a nice touch to the burger. The redhook fish sandwich was not as tasty as i though it would. I couldn't really taste the fish. The prices are higher end for the thickburgers but that doesn't stop me. The powerade machine inside needs to be fixed or something. It just sprays the blue powder and water the last two times i've been there. read more

For the third time I was over charged. The price charge is not the same price as posted on the sign outside. I have brought it to management attention 3 times. Never offered the price posted or make and adjustment, only attitude. Today, again sign not fixed. After the manager Steve, said price is posted inside and IS CORRECT ON SIGN OUTSIDE. I drove to check to see and sure enough the sign was the price just as I have said 4 times! Bad day Steve? He told me if I do not like it, then don't come back. WOW! Great customer service. He also stated that they are not corporate and can charge any price they want. That's fine!! Just post your price correctly. read more

This is the worst restaurant imaginable. Their supplier parked his Semi in front of the store blocking our exit for 45 minutes. The Manager Robert didn't care and the staff laughed at the fact we and another lady parked in Handicapped could not exit. If attitude is any indication of the food quality and service----it sucks. read more

The drive through line was quite long and moved very slowly. Aside from that, my burger surpassed my expectations for freshness and quality, it ACTUALLY looked pretty close to their pictures they use for advertising- they did not skimp on anything! Everyone knows the "expectation VS reality" experience when ordering fast food: The picture looks amazing and what you get is nothing close! Not here, it was a nice big fat burger with all the fresh toppings. The fries were fine, could've been in the fryer for another 30sec because they were pale and limp, but they were hot and salty so I ate them up. I have really low expectations for fast food, so this place was a pleasant surprise!! This location will be my go-to when I'm working in the area!! read more

Always miss ketchup and I got their new California burger special and it was a soggy disgusting mess

Carl's Jr. use to be good. Not sure what happened to them. I've gone to this location 3-4 times hoping each time that it will be better. No luck. read more
