Tastes like every other Carl's Jr. which is a good thing. Staff are always friendly and helpful, whether at the drive-thru or inside. The two story seating is nice, and the place is always clean. read more

the food was ready quickly made correctly!! When I got it home it was a great feeling knowing that the food was hot and everyone's order was made correctly! The most important thing is that the order was correct (thank you Rosie & Emma) Service - The young lady who took my order (thank you Ekko) was very friendly, kind and patient and knowledgeable about the new hamburger on the menu. The atmosphere was very pleasant and friendly and clean. The staff was ready to take my order and gave me status of how quick it would be ready. Thank you! read more

The stuff is OK because some of the things that are going on with this restaurant are not their fault. The hours on the door go till 10 PM. However, the lobby is closed way before 10 pm leaving you to go through the drive-thru The drive-thru is OK however, the lights on the menu are out when it is dark, making it extremely hard to see the menu. The employees are full of excuses as they tried to get you to violate state law to use use your phone to light up the menu dark board as Carl's Jr. corporate offices don't care to fix anything In my opinion, this branch needs to be closed until everything is fixed read more

I've been avoiding this Carl's for years because of their low ratings but another nearby restaurant wasn't serving breakfast anymore (they'd already switched to their lunch menu) so I thought I'd try Carl's. It was a good experience. They took my order quickly at the drive-through and the order was correct when I picked it up and it was hot. It might have been a little bit on the salty side, but I would get another egg sandwich or whatever they're called. Staff was polite. read more

Obscenely overpriced food! No wonder this place will soon be vacant! $10.25 for a double cheeseburger!!!!! read more

Stopped by here for a quick grab on Christmas Day before heading out the road! I was surprise they are open for the holiday! Thank you. And great service as well! :) read more

It supposed to a pickle burger no pickle flavor never eating three again I'll tell my friends not to eat there

They are out of everything, the staff is rude, can't see the menu at night and everything was cold and disgusting. Wouldn't recommend spent 45 dollars and it was all terrible. Won't ever go back read more

We've been going to the Carl's Jr. in Gig Harbor for years and it has been our go-to fast food burger place when we need a quick meal. During a recent visit we were shocked when the cost for two medium burger meals and a side of zucchini chips came to over $35. This was a significant increase over typical prices. The drive-through attendant told use that they had recently become a corporate run location and prices were raised. The food was fine but we can do better for $35. We won't be back. read more

I've never had a bad experience here and I come through about once a month. The service is always super friendly and my food is hot, made to order and yummy. The restaurant is super clean inside and I love the upstairs area. I was shocked at how many bad reviews it's gotten. Hasn't been my experience at all read more

Just got a guacamole bacon hamburger from the Carl's Jr on Northern Lights in Anchorage, AK. The meat was cold. The bun was cold. The experience was unfortunate. Like most of the USA, Anchorage businesses are having trouble finding capable workers, so I have some sympathy for this fast-food outfit...but there's no excuse for serving a cold hamburger, especially when the Carl's Jr ads look so good! read more

Have been coming thru this Carls fairly frequently. Two orders of chicken tenders. Approx. $6.50 + per order. Instead of 6 tenders per order, I get 4 and 4. Soggy and barely warm. Apparently you have to tie up the drive thru and check you order! Harbor Food LLC not returning calls, and apparently does not give a shit! read more

Cold fries, house sauce wasn't supposed to be there and dr pepper was a diet something! I can't imagine being an employee & doing this!

Niggas put a fly In my meat burger but they gave me cookies so it's ok All the other food was good read more

I'd rather have the free lunch from the school cafeteria than this rotten food. The bottom bun was moldy and the fries were black. Unacceptable. read more

One of the better franchises in the area. Was passing through Gig Harbor and Car's sounded like a good stop. Not far off the freeway made it one of the better choices. Love the floor plan with the second floor seating and the TV on the first in the seating area. It is Saturday and it was on College Football, cool! Friendly cashier took my order with ease and food was delivered warm, fast and accurate. Of course fast food meals never look like they do on the photos, but that is expected as long as the taste is enjoyable, and it was. I have been to several locations in Pierce County and my burger patty has been dry and over-charred, this burger (Double Western) was moist and not burned. Well done! Only issue was the cleanliness of this location. First thing after any length of drive was to use the restroom and wash my hands. The urinal was not able to flush ( paper not stating to keep handle horizontal) and wet floor come in-place, but not able to flush. The waste bin was full. Yes, they are minimum staffed and it is lunch time so I will give them the benefit of the doubt, but two tables were not wiped and had trash on them from inconsiderate people who chose not to throw their trash away. It was cleaned off halfway through my meal. Staff was friendly and greeted me and thanked me after my order was complete and when my meal was delivered to my table. read more

Ate here with my boys on our way to a Boy Scout campout. Several minor issues and two major ones. The cashier did not listen to me and I had to repeat my order 3 times. No debit was available. The cashier did not know how to process a discount. The drive thru cashier was very short with him when he asked for help. The drive thru cashier kept delivering food to tables in the restaurant and as he was walking around he would almost yell into a headset, "Welcome to Carl's Jr." When our food arrived, it was all wrong. I ordered a double cheeseburger plain and it came with lettuce, mayonnaise, pickle and tomato. I ordered a double with grilled onions and got raw onions. I ordered two milk shakes to share with my boys but with no whipped cream. The milkshakes were just over half full. As for the two Major issues, while eating my burger I chewed into something nasty tasting and the wrong texture. It was a little round sticker with writing on it. I took it up front and asked to speak to a manager to show her the sticker in my food. I told her I found the sticker in my burger and in an irritated tone she said, "Sorry," and stared at me in silence for about 30 seconds. I opened mouth to ask for my money back and she spun on her heels and walked away. I said, "Ok well I guess I take my sticker and go home," to the space where she once stood, cleaned up our mess, warned the next two customers to check their for stickers, and left. The sticker was bad enough but her rude behavior and lack of response to my problem is unforgivable. Avoid this place. read more

This by far is one of the biggest disappointments I've encountered among all the Fast Food joints I've had. There was much anticipation in opening this facility - New building, two ordering stations, two floors and did I mention that everything's new? Let's put it this way, I went to the rageddy Carls Jr. in Tacoma across from Bass Pro with boarded up windows and I'm convince there were bullet holes too with Rick Ross in the kitchen, Bruce Jenner taking orders, Korean Bible study group in the lobby and your occasional crackhead using the bathroom but still delivered way better products than this place. The point is, even though its all shiny inside and out its the team running the place are the ones carrying the name. I was lucky enough that there wasn't much traffic when I decided to stop by and ordering was pretty straightforward. I waited longer than anticipate but its understandable since I order two of their biggest burgers and fries. Once done, I was handed a bag of my order and I felt that the bag was hot so I was convinced that everything was good to go. I thought everything seems to be going well but no... this is where the nightmare started. - Two huge burgers should be in separate bags - way too much salt on the fries. How much is too much? How about I'd rather eat a bag of Salt and Vinegar too much. - You call that a burger? I've had Whoppers thicker than that. So what happened was, the bag automatically ripped when I picked it up and had burgers rolling on the floor and lost half my fries. So I had fries in the parking lot and my neighborhood seagulls were so thrilled. I ended up eating half the burger and had a couple of bites of Fries. Over-all, it was a very disappointing experience. Some Joe gave this place 4 stars because its new and I have to totally disagree. You go to Carls to have burgers.. you rate the food and the service. The most I can do is two but this place deserves a 1 star. From the other feedbacks and the lack of changes implemented, my 1 star stands. I thought I could wait and see if there are any improvements from the management but I think this is a lost cause. I just wrote a review for another Burger Joint and I received a response within hours but it looks like this Carls is another burger joint that's only concern with profits and not upholding the name and standard of Carl's Jr. Eat at your own risk and good luck (just look at the photos of the other reviews) read more

3rd trip to this failing store, ordered 3 pc and 5 pc. chicken tenders, lg fry and a burger.Asked for honey/mustard sauce. Got a 3 pc chicken tender which was a very dark brown, and no honey/mustard sauce. Didn't get 5 pc tenders. Drive thru is definitely not one of their forte'. I'll try the Tacoma location .......no more in Gig Harbor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 read more

This is a interesting Carls Jr., it has two stories to it! The food is you're typical Carl's food- higher on the price then a average fast food joint- but if you get their app you can save money on that part! Not much of selection though on the soft drinks, which sucks so they could improve their! The service I had I had no problem with, very fast service- and I love their Criss Cut fries! For Burger, always go with their thick burger :) read more

I had been a long-standing patron of Carl's Jr until the last time I went to this one. As far as I'm concerned, they should not be allowed to use the CJ name. My favorite-- Super Star Cheese-- ended up unrecognizable. Meat looked steamed instead of grilled. Gray instead of brown. No secret sauce at all! Tomato almost green. IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT FROM CARLS JR. I will never go back. And to top it off, they served yucky shoestring fries read more

They said they closed at 11 pm. Came there at 10:15 pm and the stupid ass automatic voice responded and said they were closed . That's false advertising . If your going to put 11pm on the website then stick To it , or change the website times. read more

Eggs weren't even cooked in my breakfast burrito. Who ever was working 12/15/21 served raw food.

Carl's Jr. Really? Lb of bbq sauce? When I opened them, my whole house reeked of bbq sauce from them. The single piece of wet slimy green skin is a wrap with dry fringes. "wrap is supposed to be dry, not wet and slimy, so you can hold it and eat; this is not a sloppy Joe!". Both of my sandwiches were like this. I had like a inch thick of napkins from them and had to use all of my napkins to try and wipe off the excess bbq sauce from both of my sandwiches and that is how much bbq sauce still remained on one of the sandwiches. I eat here almost everyday and, as of late, I've been receiving what seem to be pranks like this one. Lately, I keep getting sick. I wonder why? There's a person in particular that when I go to eat here, it is when my orders get trashed like this one. I think she wears glasses with short hair and a hat. Every time I come back and explain the problem, they treat me like an inconvenient a**hole and they need a receipt for proof as they helped me the day before and gave me attitude. Then say sorry but I'll give you 10% off this order and that they have to follow protocol. You're lucky I even came back! Oh, and they keep removing this review. I'll just keep making new accounts and repost it until they stop removing my review. Obviously the person in this review has access on removing reviews or it's the owners family member. I'm starting to get it now... Keep the rightfully deserved review, it's yours. You deserve it! If anyone questions the open sauce packet it's buffalo sauce. I used it on the burger before this one. I would never frame a hard earned business or lie. I've had some beautiful burgers from here. Just seems a particular manager or someone; half the time they work here something funky happens and I get attitude. I'm a really nice and lighthearted guy. Love people. Not when they take advantage of people like this, though. The line was slow. There's no excuses of disgusting burgers like these with a pound of bbq sauce and thin piece of slimy lettuce on both sandwiches! This is after a 10+ hour day of work with commute and this is what I receive for dinner. read more

This is one of the better Carl's Jr. franchises. Large, two-story building, interesting décor. I've eaten at the Carl's Jr. in Tacoma and in Ellensburg and this is better than both of them. It resembles the flavors of the original Carl's Jr. when I discovered it back in the early '70s, but still misses the mark on the intense, unique charbroiled burger flavors of back then. The Carl's Jr. burgers of today lack that intense charbroiled flavor but they're much better (at this store) than Burger King or DQ which are where we've been going since their miles closer. I had written off eating at Carl's after the terrible burgers at those other two restaurants but I'm looking forward to eating here again. The menu's loaded with fancy., expensive Angus burger variations but the tried and true Super Star with Cheese and traditional fare are good bets here. And they still make my favorite fast food chain fries. read more

Disappointed! We were all given dried out/stale old buns and our order was not correct (not the first time but the last). We gave them one star for the friendly staff! Please do better! read more

Great good friendly workers but pretty spendy and slow service. The Double Bacon Western is the best!

Bought my family dinner through the drive thru of Carl's Junior Gig Harbor on 2/22 and when I got home my daughter opened her soda to put in another glass and found a large bug looking piece of mold in her ice. Been fighting with them since and they have done nothing for me. No refund, nothing. Lost my business forever and how they loose yours before they make you sick. Owner/Manager Jay was no help. Zero stars if I could. read more

The restaurant seems to be a brand new construction. It's even got an upstairs. I had a hankering for a burger and I didn't want to do my normal fast food burgers, and Carl was still on my mind after visiting a Carl's in Mexico. And i saw an interview of the CEO of Carl's who was defending the highly sexually charged commercials they have with girls in bikinis eating burgers. I was thinking "wow, a guy who can sound this believable, when he says 'i think our ads are very tasteful and respectful' deserves to get some new business." My burger tasted okay. I think I liked the seasoned curly fries more. I got the all natural burger. It was assembled in a sloppy way. I liked the standing tables in the middle of dining room. read more

TO THE GIRL WORKING THE DRIVE THRU TONIGHT i love u !! my mom and i came on our way home from the airport after a long day and we probably said our order wrong, but corrected it at the window and the girl who was working was SO sweet she deserves a raise!! thank u for excellent service read more

Unfortunately, the day I arrived, there was some exhaust fan problem, and the "restaurant" was choked with grease smoke. At first I thought that this was "atmosphere". I'd never been in a Carl's jr before. There were "double item" menus - not two-fers, just two items at a reduced price. I asked for two burgers- "No, sorry, you must get a chicken and a burger." Well, this sure isn't "Have it YOUR way" I thought. Ended up with a dinky DQ-sized cup of fries, a fried-to-death piece of ?chicken, and a 'meh' burger. NOT what I've seen advertised. They pay a lot for ads showing skanky hos in torn levi shorts, drooling all over the burgers. No idea where they found those burgers. The Hos can be found waiting tables in CA. Sorry- never again. read more

The food is Carl's Jr. Not much to say there. My comments are to the owners. 1. Don't make your customers ask for napkins. We're buying your product, and your product is messy, so just assume napkins are needed. 2. Your business in in the Pacific NW, and it rains here. How about putting a canopy over the drive through window so that when we're patronizing your burger joint, instead of one of the other four in the immediate area, we're not getting soaked when we roll down our windows? Little things, I know, but it's all about the little things. **Update It's been some time since my initial post, but alas, it has clearly fallen on deaf ears. Nothing has changed, So, from three to two stars you go. Customers are still getting wet, well, except for me, as I and my money have gone elsewhere. Cheers! ***Update - 8.10.18 The owners have said their piece, and what they think their customers are worth. Uno stars mi amigos! read more

I won't return. I used to come here for lunch sometimes, the drive through line is usually really slow but it's whatever. Today I got a chicken club meal.

By far the slowest service I've ever experienced! We sat in the drive-thru line for a solid 40 minutes, no exaggeration whatsoever. If there was a way to get out of the drive-thru line once you're in it, we would have left long ago. On average, it took 10 minutes to get one car through the line. We turned our engine off at one point; I even went inside to use the restroom - came back out and we hadn't moved! When we finally got to the window, they tried to give us someone else's order. Turns out they gave our food to someone who ordered inside. The only positive that came out of this is that they didn't charge us for our order after we asked if the person they gave it to had touched our food. We don't eat "fast" food often at all, and this was actually our first time going to this place. Needless to say, we will never be going to Carl's Jr again. read more

I came to this restaurant for a late lunch, I usually go in to order but they're dining room was closed. To my complete and utter amazement the young lady ran up to the door and opened it and was going to take my order right there at the door. That's customer service! Maybe that's just how they roll out here on the peninsula. Never in a bazillion years would any restaurant do this in Seattle. The food ended up being pretty good and they gave me a lot of napkins, good job Carl's Jr read more

PROS: New building is interesting and seating is good. CONS: Three different times I've been there, they've been out of something important. Not like diet coke, you know, but like onion rings, chicken patties, ingredients that make a burger. Last night the cashier was looking right at me, it wasn't busy, and I had to repeat my order 3 times (it was two regular size combo meals - not rocket science). The older man in black, the manager I'm told, literally stood there leaning on the counter behind her, staring through me - didn't move, didn't help, didn't blink. Fecking creepy. The fries were soft and cold. The bun on my sandwich was actually stale. I don't know how you mess up this bad, this often. I kind of understood when it was just opened, but shyte, it's not new anymore - and I'm still getting lousy service and they still don't know how to order inventory. Carl's Jr. rocks as a whole - but this location bites big-time. One note: This last time, I did see a kid in plain clothes (but a CJ hat, so I'm guessing an employee off duty?) JOG through the parking lot to catch up to an elderly man with a cane walking toward the entrance, just to open the restaurant door for him. And then he walked back to his car and left. Whoever this kid was, GIVE HIM A RAISE. read more
