    ( update- they only make the when-fresh-delicious iced tea once a day in the am-meaning it's going bad by late afternoon and they don't care. But weekdays are probably safe all day because of how much drive-through traffic they get on weekdays- came back on a slow Saturday afternoon to tea going/gone bad. Saul was amazingly helpful and the ladies cooking nailed it. Still in the area so came back 4-5 hours later to see if they'd made new tea by then: nope, and?. Got an unfortunate experience with a fellow who said roughly 'we only make it in the morning and ( emphatically) it's always fresh - no one else complains- only you ' at which point I thanked him and departed with the 2/3 cup of bad tea from earlier in the day. This Carl's now on a time-out but only because of the bad attitude guy this evening- everyone else is golden) . I do worry about my beloved Carls though. Under CKE's foolish watch? Cancelled Green Burrito, cancelled Beyond Famous Star, went from corporate guidelines of new tea roughly every 6 hours to I'm told 8, and many just making once in the am a zero regard for quality. Fast food lives and dies on consistency (re: the iced tea) and with in n out putting up locations right next to Carl's ( pressuring 2 Laguna Niguel Carl's under with that riff, trying for a 3rd in San Juan And CKE knee-caps Carl's ace over In n out in the form of the former Vegetarian/Vegan ( if you got a lettuce wrap instead of bread) Beyond Famous Star Right when in n out was moving in for the kill? Kind of seems like there's a traitor in the house ( working for in n out) at CKE corporate office What's next an in n out on the being-remodeled Dana point pier, while the miles at CKE taps his or her finger steeple like Mr Burns? 'Excellent' Now? No quality control on locations to keep from serving unsweetened Iced Tea that's gone bad Instead of 1. Having made fresh unsweetened iced teas after 8 hours out of a commitment to quality? Or 2. Making it at the customer's request when it's turned bad and instead? 3Some guy behind the counter going after me like I was the problem? I'll be sure to use up my Carl's rewards and brace myself for the unfortunate inevitable. And file my fond memories of Carl's with those of Farrell's ice cream and for that matter the founding fathers' America, under 'bittersweet memories' And speaking of 'rewards'? I had 15.000 points in Carl's Super Star Rewards app the closed and abandoned without warning 2,599 in the 2nd rewards points system 1000 which I'll be clearing out in this the 3rd rewards system Getting a bad taste in my mouth. Might just be from the remains of a $4 bad iced tea

    $50 for fast food. Insane!

    $50 for fast food. Are you serious? Expensive burgers and fried food. I ordered chicken stars and they gave us chicken strips. Son still ate them. Food was okay. Not worth $50.

    Superstar Cheeseburger,Zucchini, and Dr Pepper.

Today, on a Saturday at 12-ish, as a family of 4 we were able to get seated right away. Our server was attentive and offered/brought waters right away. We were seated inside which was open and spacious but loud enough to make it family friendly. The tables were far enough a part that you did not feel like you were on top of each other. Next time, we might ask to sit outside so our young boys can watch the cars drive by. We learned that the kitchen is nut free (always double check as this could change), which was amazing since our son has a severe nut allergy. He was so excited to learn this as he can be limited at other places due to cross contamination or the wrong oils. Then when the food came out and it was delicious - it sealed the deal. It is now in the top of our list of places to go. The kids cheeseburger is good size and not a smaller version as some places do. The chicken tenders were panko crusted which was so crunchy. My husband and I shared the smoked carrot and chicken tacos and we enjoyed them both. The beer was also very good with my husband and I each trying a different kind - an IPA and a Pale Ale. We are so glad we finally stopped in and so should you!

Parking during the lunch hour can be a problem, you may have to walk a bit from the upper neighborhood. Some of the residents there do not hold back their disdain for tourists parking in front of their homes. Place your order outside, like a fast food joint, get a number and sit down somewhere after you get your drinks from another outside window. They are very busy here and have a good system in place to process and complete the orders. The wait time for your food is minimal. The vibe here is touristy yet the crowd is young. Beach goers mostly I suspect. Picnic tables inside with an assortment of round patio tables and chairs inside and out. The burgers taste good. They are a double patty, so they were cooked up quickly and were definitely served hot off the grill. The meat is without much taste. The cheese is American which is nothing more than a mysterious blend of yellow ingredients, few which are probably real dairy products. It does melt easily though and kind of makes a runny addition to the sauce they use. Flavor from the sauce and the texture from the meat made the burger interesting but not great. Probably on the level of an In and Out puck. The bun was ok, it held up well to the sauces. Since this a well cooked double patty, there was no juice to sog up the bun. Of course the lack of juice makes the overall product lacking. The fries are great and ample but the stingy amount of catsup provided is almost good enough for only half the fries. The ice tea is average and very small. It is not enough to wash down the meal. Make sure you get waters because your ice tea will not be refilled.
