It's approximately 6:30 in the morning and have been on the road for several hours needing a potty break and food. I'm not really a fan of Carls Jr. but wanted to give it another try. The restaurant was empty and spotless. The cashier was patient and pleasant. I placed my order: Western Bacon Burger combo. My order came out hot but poorly assembled. You figure since there weren't any other patrons the employees would have a bit more pride in their work. The bbq sauce and bacon were slapped on and the onion rings were slime. The fry's were ok. Carls is a quick stop off of Hwy 5 but I won't be visiting again. read more

Service was friendly and quick through the drive thru even though there were quite a few people inside. The restrooms were clean at this location. I ordered a western bacon cheeseburger combo with fried zucchini and the burger was put together very well. The onion rings were cooked perfectly and the sauce ratio was perfect so I didn't need to add more sauce. The fried zucchini were crispy and delicious! Don forget the ranch! read more

My 2nd time here in the month of February. It's not super busy so the bathroom is easy to access, lots of parking, and a clean comfortable Store. As for the food, ordered a Cali XL, and Lemonade on both visits. Walked in moments after ordering via the mobile application and my order was ready and bagged. In my opinion this is not a good thing, because in both visits the lettuce was not edible so I'm guessing it was cooked ages ago, and or the lettuce stocked is of horrible quality. I liked the pricing, and idea of the items selected, but I will going forward avoid this location, and if eating at this chain customize my burger so it might be freshly composed. read more

Carl's Jr - Cali Burger and Strawberry Lemonade about $11 a bargain for the mid point of I5 between LA and the Bay Area - Burgers Near Me - Coalinga, California

I love Carl's Jr, but the service here is pretty bad, the front lady there is not friendly and ignores your existence. We ordered a burger online and were waiting there for a while. We saw an order ready and left on the ready shelf for about 5-10 minutes while standing in-front of her, but the lady only picked up new orders until we asked her and she said, "oh yeah, here." No smile & no apology given. If we didn't ask, not sure if she is ever going to announce the order. It wasn't busy in the store at all. While we were leaving, I heard the someone asked her 2 times, "did you say the order is ready?" Then we left. Not sure if it was regarding to our order or not, but if it was, good for him to notice that. The burger is ok, not bad. read more

Carl's Jr - Santa Fe chicken sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Coalinga, California

This location is allowing indoor and outdoor patio dining. They do require masks until you sit down at your table to eat. As soon as we ordered our food and sat down our food was hot and ready quickly. Everything from our hot fries to the burgers and chicken tenders were perfectly made and very delicious. With a car full of hungry people we appreciated this fast friendly service so we could get back on the road quickly. My only complaint at this location was the amount of flies in the restaurant near the window seats. We had to move to a another table away from the windows. read more

Carl's Jr - Kids meal 11/28/2021 - Burgers Near Me - Coalinga, California

This Carl's Jr. was ridiculous. We were traveling Interstate 5 and stopped for lunch. We had a Western Bacon Cheeseburger Combo and a Guacamole Burger Combo. Both singles. We had medium fry's and drink. The total bill was $39.88. Ridiculous. The same meal in Arizona is less than $28.00. We ate at a fancy Italian restaurant last night and the total bill was only $4 more. Beware of this place. They gouge you. read more

Stopped by on my way home from SoCal. The bathrooms were pretty clean and the staff were very nice. There's plenty of parking and they also have drive thru. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. I only ordered a cookies and cream shake, which I wish was a bit thinker but overall it was good. read more

Stopped by for something quick but were kind of surprised at the price. The beyond famous star - meatless burger was $9.29 just for the burger alone. 2 burgers came to $21 lol In comparison, we've had the impossible whopper before and it's about $6.99 for the burger and it's honestly a lot better than this beyond famous star. It wasn't really bad, but it wasn't great. It was ok. I think it would be better with sliced pickles instead of relish and seasoning on the patty. Would also be nice if it were put together with slightly more care, because it looked like it was thrown together - sloppy. I realize this is a fast food chain but still...there was no other customers inside or behind us in the drive-thru so it's not like they had a rush. I'd give it a 2.5 and don't think we'd get it again unless it were the absolute only option. read more

Carl's Jr - Beyond famous star w/o cheese or mayo - Burgers Near Me - Coalinga, California

Took WAY too long for one simple burger. Waited over 30 mins. The place also looked like it could cause a tummy ache.

We stopped in on our way back from the Bay area. We had a short wait for our meal. The burger was ok but even though we had a wait the food wasn't very hot. They need to pay attention to the bathroom conditions especially. The employees were nice. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite on our way to SoCal. Fast food seems to be going downhill. ESPECIALLY HERE! Service was okay, a little slow, bit oh well. Food wasn't very hot and the burger was as sloppy as can be. Look at the two pictures for comparison. I wanted to get back on the road so I ate it. The fries were not hot either. I Don't think I would stop here again. Fast food is EXPENSIVE now days - They need to add some quality into the equation. read more

As someone who doesn't have fast food that often, I was actually kind of excited to go to Carl's on the way to SoCal. Unfortunately I was somewhat letdown by this experience due to the high price compared to my local Carl's Jr., room temperature fries, and chicken sandwich. I should've known it would not look like the picture, but the chicken sandwich was a small piece of chicken with just mayo and pickles, and it was over $5 just for the sandwich. Of course I scarfed it down because I was hungry, but I was definitely expecting more in terms of taste and quantity. Maybe I came at a bad time or I remember Carl's hitting different, but I'd likely only come back here if I really needed to... read more

Visited this location at approximately 10:30 pm. Could not hear the person working the drive thru. Either the person needs to speak louder or they need to work on the drive thru speaker system. Couldn't understand the employee due to either their soft voice or the speaker system when they repeated my order or to tell me my total. Please look into this matter. A properly maintained drive thru speaker system or am employee speaking a little bit louder makes a world a difference. I would have bought more but didn't want to go through the effort of guessing what the employee was saying. read more

I wish this picture can show how old and dry the meat was. The cheese wasn't even melted. Don't waste your time stopping. Should've listened to the reviews. read more

Carl's Jr - California Burger - Burgers Near Me - Coalinga, California

*Vegetarian 30-Day Challenge Bonus Review* Figuring out what's healthy to eat while on a road trip is already tough enough, but the difficulty factor goes up when trying to maintain a vegan lifestyle. So big-ups to Carl's, Jr.® for now offering a Beyond Famous Star® burger* as part of their fast food lineup! The burger is 100% vegan along with their delicious criss-cut fries™ and fried zucchini―which are also vegan! We both enjoyed eating it and Carissa really felt like it tasted like a legit fast food burger, while I thought it reminded me of a Morningstar® veggie burger. Carl's will now be our new unofficial road stop standard and they should be commended for their vegan food effort―while McShitz™ should be ashamed of their paltry vegetarian selection. Even their famous fries aren't vegetarian, as they add some kind of beef product to them. *burger must be ordered sans cheese and mayo in order to be truly vegan. read more

Super fast drive they and they got my order correct - Cris cut fries and a vegan famous star (no cheese no mayo). Drive thru employee was friendly and no issues! Fries were freshly made as was the beyond burger. Definitely a good pit stop! read more

This is a regular stop for us on our way to the coast for a trip. The restaurant has a really hard time keeping staff and so you are always dealing with brand new people so be patient and make sure you check your order because they get it wrong alot. This is not a bad location it is just like anywhere else with a lot of new employees, it is always training and never really get the hang of it. read more

Possibly the worst sandwich I ever had. After a 30 min wait - customer# 4 - with maybe five other people in the restaurant, I got the grossest Grilled cheese sandwich I had in my life. Carl's - sorry, I had to throw it away. read more

Carl's Jr - Chicken sandwich. Does NOT come with lettuce or tomato Even after adding that is still sucked. - Burgers Near Me - Coalinga, California

Unusually expensive Carl's Jr location. What we wanted was not available and the cashier said it is because they are a franchise store so they are different than others. Umm, aren't most/all Carl's Jr. locations franchises? Their normal serving size of ~7 onion rings was over $4. It appears as though they are capitalizing on the relative lack of food options in the area. read more

Not bad at all for the middle of nowhere. Great service from Alex and quick delivery of food. Restaurant was clean, and luckily so were the bathrooms! Stopped by after a long trip, and it was worth it. Burger and fries hit the spot! read more

Made a quick pit stop on the way to L.A. with my daughters chow chow dog. After getting gas, I needed to find a place to eat with an outside patio for the dog. Carl's Jr. has an outside patio with tables, chairs and umbrellas. Ordered up my standard Western double bacon cheese burger, fries and my wife had the grilled chicken salad, Both items filled the need for sustenance. Since there are not a lot of choices Carl's Jr., provided a perfect place for us and our dog. They are the only place with a outside patio at the 198 off ramp and I-5 off ramp in Coalinga, California. read more

My wife and I stopped here while traveling down 5 to share an original Angus burger combo. I've always been a fan of Carl's Jr. and this is the worst fast food taste experience ever. The meat tasted old; the fries were somewhat soggy. Only the drink, a coffee, was ok. I literally had a terrible taste in my mouth from the burger all afternoon. As for the restaurant it was filthy: the toilets, the outdoor tables where we sat. (The restroom was borderline disgusting.) It wasn't an restaurant with acceptable hygiene. While the options off 5 aren't great there are bound to be better options than this place. read more

Truly believes this Carl's Jr. is racist. There were only Caucasian people in the store and we were clearly the minority. Was very mistreated by the manager herself, Kathy. Very rude lady, ignored me and disregarded my needs/wants. A store does not have value without a support base from the management team. Please replace her. read more

My husband and I stopped here on May 9th on our drive North on Interstate 5 to Oregon and I was so excited to try Carl Jrs. I haven't been there for years and was terribly disappointed. The fries were soggy and tasteless. My California Classic burger was a step below luke warm. We had to wait 5 minutes at the drive through window and thought we were going to get fresh hot food. Awful experience. We were down the highway a mile and didn't want to turn around and complain. Just had to complain. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Im on my way to the Bay Area starving, wanted to stop by and get something quick to eat. Girl at the Drive through says it would just be a minute. 8-10 min later I pull up to find them chatting out the window with what looks like a friend. The chubby kid at the window only stared me down. Id fire him. Worst service ever. No wonder its two stars. Dont know why I even bothered. Mcdonalds did an amazing job. And yes i took the time to write this review. read more

Carl's Jr - Even after I left they still kept at it. Terrible. - Burgers Near Me - Coalinga, California

Needing to pitstop on the way back to the bay, we pulled into this Carl's Jr because the parking lot was packed and it seemed a good place to grab a "light" bite. When we crossed through the dog-friendly patio, we immediately noticed that this place was absolutely filthy but as they say, we were already pot committed. I ordered a Big Carl sandwich to tide me over and it was the first time I've ever had a burnt fast food burger. For something with quality so heavily controlled, it's amazing that the screwed this up so bad. Definitely won't be back here again. There was even spoiled greens in my friend's salad. Definitely wouldn't recommend anybody stop here for a bite and since it's a little hidden, don't even bother looking for it. It's hard to recommend fast food, but anywhere else is better than this!

When I stopped by it was late at night around 1130pm in a Tuesday . The fellow behind the counter was really nice, my food was chicken tenders and fries and came out peeping hot and tasty.

They also have regular mustard packets so it was a win win all around. =) read more

This Carls competes directly with McD's and Burger King on West Dorris Avenue. It's a quick stop for most travelers to feed the cars and the people. The Super Charburger Combo ($8.39) is incredible. First of all, it's a monstrosity of a burger with two thick beef patties and lettuce, tomato and onion as well. The meat was nicely seasoned, and the other ingredients within the buns were nice and fresh. Basically, a great burger. A massive burger ! It also had a mayo-type condiment applied which was a nice touch. The fries were OK, but had been languishing under the heat lamp a little too long. But the star of the show is the Super Charburger. It does the job for a hungry traveler, trust me. FYI, I visited the restroom and found it reasonably clean, no problems to report there, as other Yelpers have. Also paid cash, so no credit card issues, either. read more
