I don't really understand the negative reviews. Every time I've come here, the service has been friendly and the food has always been fresh. Occasionally there's about a five-minute wait, but they communicate that clearly upfront. Honestly, the food quality here is noticeably better than the location just up the street. My go to is the spicy chicken or western bacon. Also, they have a large order chicken stats options I didn't know until I had 6 kids at my house to feed one evening. It was a hit and a great deal. read more

Burgers were nice and hot. Nicely put together. They did order as ordered. Fast. Service was fast and efficient

First time at this location! My husband and I were traveling and made a quick stop off at Carls Jr. This location is super easy to get to since it's near the exit and entrance off the freeway. There weren't any other customers when we got here, but it was also at a really random time in a Friday. We ordered chicken tenders and fried zucchini. I was surprised by the chicken tenders - it was crispy and moist! And the zucchini was super good and crispy. Definitely the freshest, straight-from-the-fryer order that we have ever had from any Carls Jr. Staff was friendly and welcoming. And the inside of this location is super clean. They have a code on the bathroom doors, but you just have to ask a worker for the code. Inside of the bathroom here is really clean, and there's one restroom for women and one for men. read more

Attempted to use the drive-thru at this location on July 17th 2018 and there was a sign that said the drive-thru is broken. That does not explain why they could not have taken drive-thru orders from the drive-thru window. In fact it was not the drive-thru that was broken but it was the employees who are too lazy to take orders from the drive-thru. This is just another example of poor management and low quality that this location has continued to offer. I'm really surprised at this location has managed to stay in business given something ludicrous like this. I will be following up with corporate to report the fact they are not fulfilling their obligations as a franchise. There were no customers there in the morning and this definitely explains why as the employees are not interested in running the business as it is required to be run. read more

Carl's Jr - What a joke - Fast Food Near Me - Corona, California

The food was hot and freshly prepared. One of the best meals I've ever had. The restaurant itself was clean and well run.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good their veggie burger is. We picked up a couple of those two days ago and I wasn't a fan of Carl's Jr. haven't been in eight years to any location but I did try the impossible burger or the beyond I don't remember which one it was. But it was very good!! A lot of toppings and very fresh onions lettuce and cheese it was delicious! Give it it a try. read more

Found mold on 2 of my burgers! And I found a bug in my drink. If I could rate this place 0 stars I would. I usually go to this location often and have had the usual items missed in my order. But I haven't had food complaints till today. I will not go to this place anymore and would strongly recommend others to avoid eating here. read more

Carl's Jr - This is the mold I found on my chicken sandwich. - Fast Food Near Me - Corona, California

Service wasn't great, cashier was rude and looked unhygienic. Food was ok, school cafeteria food was better. Took almost 15 minutes to get some coffee creamer, the manager walked in and was finally able to get me some. Dirty tables and counters, could be better read more

Never had an issue with this place or it's food. The workers here are nice and quick too :)

You really should be able to pay these people less. What's the point: can't take an order, rude and overpriced junk food. My mistake trying to acquire a quick meal for my team. This place is a homeless encampment I'm the parking lot as a bonus also. Corona is a disgusting location. read more

This has always been a horrible Carl's, even before Covid! Decided to go and to my surprise it was terrible yet again. I was in awe at what I was given. My lettuce was so old it wasn't even green no more. How is this location even open still? Calling the health department, hoping they shut down and replace it with something worth eating -5 stars read more

Freshest chicken stars I've ever had. Issac was also extremely polite. Give Issac a raise, he has no business being that sweet and friendly :) he didn't do anything in particular but just his overall vibe was A+ read more

We have a business around the corner and have eaten here for years and years. Up to today It has been 'okay' Today it was absolutely awful. The quality of our food was so bad today that I came on here just to write a review which I rarely, rarely do. I got a Famous Star and a fried zucchini and a Coke. The zucchini was super hot but complete mush and no crisp to it at all. I ate a couple pieces and realized how gross and mushy it was and threw it away. My burger was the worst one I've ever had from a Carl's Jr. The tomato was thin and long past its prime and should have gone in the trash not on a burger! The rest of the burger just tasted stale and off and funky. I told my husband it was the worst I've had in a long time. Apparently, since minimum wage has gone up to $20 they are cutting corners on the quality of food. I will not be back to eat here again. I'd rather just eat some crackers at my desk....I would probably enjoy those more than this sad food and high prices! Disgusting! read more

OK this was horrible. Heading home late the guys wanted a bite to eat and my son seeing all the 4 for $4 commercials had us stop here. Really shabby run down restaurant, in major need of a face lift. Service was friendly but slow and the food horrendous. The spices chicken very poor quality pressed meat, brought it home for the dogs. Fries cold, pale and soggy. The burger patties looked pretty sad and we about half the size of the bun. I'd rather spend $4 on pretty much anything else, really gross. read more

By far and without a doubt the worst Carl's Jr. that I have ever been to. The place was filthy, An employee arrived at appx. 1:00 pm for work and his pants were filthy. He went straight to work without washing his hands. The front workers were holding a conversation about the night before and when we got our food, the cheese was still cold on the burgers. The cheese wasn't melted at all. We spoke to the female manager and her response was, "ok!" Here is how on top of it the manager, DM and RM are. The employee of the quarter plaque was last updated in 2017. read more

Just wanted to give a shoutout to the gentlemen who took my order yesterday evening at the Drive Thru. Unfortunately, his name isn't on my receipt. However, I was order 244552 (6:06 pm, #1 Beyond Patty - No cheese/mayo) and I just wanted to make note that he was exceptionally thorough and kind. The order that was given to him, he personally checked before handing it to me, only to realize that it was incorrect and he addressed the issue even before it was brought to my attention. So thank you, I appreciate your attention to detail. read more

The worst Carl's Jr. In the world they take the ketchup packages out of the trash to re use and give to customers

I ordered food here and besides taking 15 minutes to receive it, I was also given attitude. If I order fast food I expect it to be made fast. Especially when it's en entire family trying to eat. So when you take a long time to give me my food AT LEAST GIVE ME ALL OF IT. I shouldn't have to go back and ASK FOR CRISSCUT FRIES THAT I ASKED FOR WHEN I MADE MY PURCHASE... Also DONT give me attitude for YOUR MISTAKE.. tell that worker to change HER attitude AND to make sure she gets her order right.... ALSO THE FRIES WE HAD TO ASK FOR WERE COLD.... THANKS FOR THE WASTE OF MONEY. read more

One star for the polite cashier, but damn my burger is terrible tasting. Charbroiled.. more like char burnt. Carl's jr is getting more expensive and for what? I paid money for my food and can't even eat it. There is barely any guac on it. WTF? Extremely disappointed. read more

This is one of the worst Carl's that I've experienced. Tables have a layer of dinginess. No napkin dispensers at the table do not help. Central dispenser empty. Fries were overcooked and brown. The tray they brought my food on had greasy smudges. The paper mat had obviously been used before as it had greasy stains and onion ring breading. I didn't have rings. How long does it take to replace a disposable tray mat? The food tasted okay, but I can only imagine the uncleanliness in the back of house. read more

Wow! Where do i start off.. By far the unsanitary place i can step foot in.This lady walks in with a dog clearly it is not a service dog, I wish i would have taken a pic while dog was shaking on the table, sitting on the table walking all over the table , and to make it worse, "THE GENERAL MANAGER PETER" Was not taking any consideration at all, all he supposedly told her, is if she can take the dog off the table, when i went to complain because i was eating about 2 tables away, he said its ok she will be leaving soon she will take her order to go. I waited and it was bs you can clearly see she didn't get it to go. She was feeding the dog in carls Jr. Smh.. Customers started walking out and even a few customers walked in and seen her sitting there and just covered their nose walked out instead of ordering.. Imagine someone else walks in to sit there with out knowing their is dog hairs everywhere, . Their is nothing worse than A "GENERAL MANAGER NOT CARING TO KEEP A RESTAURANT CLEAN.! I WILL NOT BE STEPPING FOOT IN HERE. read more

Carl's Jr - She knew i was watching her so she removed the dog off the table. Yuk she was putting food on the table so the dog can eat off the table. - Fast Food Near Me - Corona, California

Carl's Jr - I ordered a sprite not a cup of ice - Fast Food Near Me - Corona, California

I've been coming here every morning now. Ever since they came out with the $0.99 breakfast coupons. The drive-thru line isn't big at all in the mornings. I come here before work around 8:30am and despite the place being right next to a freeway entrance, there is never more than 3 cars at the drive-thru. read more

Very disappointed in my visit today. Opted for drive-thru because I was on my lunch break. Simple order: 2 sausage biscuits, hash browns, & a Sprite. I may be alone, but I strongly dislike the usual egg & cheese. The person read the order back to me & it was correct on the screen. After driving back to work, ready for my lunch/breakfast, and both sandwiches had egg & cheese. Because the biscuits are great, I was able to deal. But very frustrating. Probably wont go back, McDonalds is closer anyway. read more

The food is okay, but this location doesn't take coupons seriously. We handed it the person at the register, they set it down, didn't apply it to our order and told us we didn't get to use it after telling them that we handed it to them. Kind of disappointing on customer service area. read more

Just had the Beyond Famous Star with cheese and all toppings minus the onions. I thought it was great. I would definitely come back for it again. read more

I went to this Carl's JR and was called a liar. I ordered 3 classic double cheese burgers and was given something with disgusting thousand island sauce on it. I didn't order a California classic, I ordered a classic double cheeseburger. When I went back into the restaurant to replace my food the manager told me I was wrong and I ordered the California classic even though I never said the word classic. She refused to remake my food so I had to get a refund. Never go to this Carl's JR. None of them speak any English which is cool, but when they are all talking a language about you, that you don't understand it makes you feel uncomfortable. They were extremely rude, called me a liar and now I will never be coming back to Carl's JR. read more

Went here this morning for the Breakfast Platter. Good price at 1.99 but portions are way too small. This is not the platter I'd get in Iowa at Hardee's for the breakfast. I don't think there is more than a tablespoon of eggs and I can count the tater tots. I realize this is probably a corporate issue but let's get it together Carl's! Service was excellent so that's good. I would gladly pay more for the platter I used to get at Hardee's with more eggs and a pile of taters. The eggs too were really creamy and buttery at Hardee's unlike the dry globs that are served almost everywhere now. Keep it at 1.99 as not worth more. read more

Carl's Jr - 1.99 Breakfast Platter. Hope they keep this price as not worth it for any higher. - Fast Food Near Me - Corona, California

I love CJs, but the service here was super slow. I had to wait to place drive through order while there was only one car other than me in the drive through. When I got to the window I waited again, for 3 minutes before taking my money, I could see the lady while she chatted and texted. Then she came to window rude! I worked at CJs in my younger years, I would have written this employee up and probably fired them by now. read more

Don't know why i ever come in one of these..they are over priced and the service is always bad...they will take care of 3 cars while you sit and look at them...and you were there before any of rhem even pulled up...oh i know why there is no other place around thats why read more

This place is a little hard to get to, due to the road construction that is going on all around it. Hopefully that will wrap up soon. This location is clean although a bit outdated. It's right off the freeway (91), so it makes it a quick, convenient stop. That do have an outdoor play area for kids, but it looks a bit grimy and dirty. Probably wouldn't bring my kids to play in it. The food is good, the staff is nice, and I'm always receiving coupons in the mail which make it a little cheaper. I also use the Carl's Jr. app which earns you points every time to check in at one of their locations. You can use the points towards additional coupons they have on the app, or free food. read more

Can't beat their 2 for $3 burgers. Best around for value and flavor....Much better than McDonalds. BUT, I have issues with a few other things during my last 2 visits: deep fried chicken strips with chicken that was way, way undercooked....And, almost every time I go in this location, the salt and pepper shakers are usually covered with grease, ketchup, kiddie boogers and God only knows what else. How ofter (or should I say infrequently) to they ever wash those? My guess is NEVER. They just dispose of them when the run out. Tonight when I went in I opted for the Memphis Burger with the chopped pork. It sounds yummy on the surface, but when I bit into mine, the pork was soooo scalding HOT that I burned both my lip and roof of my mouth. As I suspected after conferring with the server, it was due to the fact that the pork is heated for 20 seconds in a microwave until sizzling and then placed upon the luke warm burger. When you bite into it, the bottom is fine, but the top will burn the crap out of anything it touches. I challenged the counter server to heat up a batch for herself in the microwave and then pop a forkful into her mouth. She declined. NOW, I challenge the manager or the corporate bozos who decided this was the proper way to make and serve pulled pork) to try the same thing. Let them see what unsuspecting customers have to endure. WHY can't they have a nice metal bin of it at the normal 140-150 degrees that can just be spooned out and put on top of the burger of a similar temperature? Perhaps others have had similar experiences to mine, as there were NO customers in this location at 5 p.m when I entered and still NONE inside by the time I left.. How does this place stay in business? read more

Came to the drive thru and since it's close to the freeway the clarity of the order through the speaker can be troubling. Nate, who was the young man that took my order was really helpful and considerate on this problem and kept repeating my order back to me several times to make sure I got what I ordered, which many of us who have had issues like this know how frustrating it can be, I appreciated the effort to keep me happy. I pulled to the window and my order was delivered by another employee and was ready to send me off before Nate came to the rescue and delivered my iced coffees, another situation that required dire attention, so after all this I felt the need to thank Nate for his heroism. Tip of the hat. read more

Came to Carl's Jr. and has the worst experience ever. As the freeway is very close it is troubling to hear through the speaker soo when I pulled up to the window I knew my order was taken incorrectly and so I needed to fix it and the girl at the window started giving me attitude and being extremely rude. All I wanted was to have a decent meal but now I have a sour a taste in my mouth Bc of the bad customer service. The girl just kept rolling her eyes and kept repeating the wrong order after being told multiple times that it was incorrect. I do not appreciate how rude these people are, couldn't even talk to a manager Bc they weren't available. read more

Somebody needs to report them the service is absolutely horrible they don't say can I help you they don't say thank you they don't say I'm sorry they don't see anything they're just so rude they need to bring friendly people that want to work at Carl's read more

This Carl's has literally been consistently good for the last ten years I've been going here. Literally ten years! Its always fresh, it's always good and the service is always quick. The only drawback is that you cannot order for crap with the freeway behind you at the speaker, but speak up and they always get the order right. Umm this makes me hungry for a charbroiled cheeseburger now! Watch for the coupons it makes it more reasonable, that's the only way I go... That and the AMAZING breakfast burger, OMG it's heaven! read more
