No refunds sign because they can't even make fast food correctly.
Casey B.

I have never been to a worst Carl's Jr in my life. It took repeating our order 4 times at the window and we only got 3 things. They could not understand English at all which I can be patient with but after the 4tg time it was frustrating. The receipt had all the food rang up correctly but we got wrong items on 2 of our orders. We had them remake they order after going inside and showing them what was wrong. They then made us the worst possible burgers in history. It took me 5 napkins just to get enough of the sauce off my burger to eat. It was literally swimming. My wife's burger was cold and the jalapeno poppers were also cold. The sprite was out of syrup so we got bitter soda water. We then asked for a refund because we didn't eat anything and after 5 minutes the manager Laura Vera finally came out and informed us they have a no refund policy on all food. She pointed to a small posted sign that they had clearly printed themselves. Not even visible to drive thur customers. Barely visible to counter customers. I'm attaching a photo of the sign. Do not go to this location. They are a franchise that doesn't care and they are not run by Carl's Jr corporate according to the sign on the wall.

Fiesta chicken sandwich

Even in this stage of recovery. They should put a decent amount of chili on their fiesta chicken sandwich. Just unacceptable really.

The way that this Carl's Jr is ran puts all other fast food chains to shame and here's why: Right away, once we walked in we were greeted by the manager. He was a bit busy at the moment, but still made the effort to tell us and others in queue that "we will be right with you" and they certainly were. Another register was opened almost immediately to move people along. When ordering, the cashier was friendly. She seemed genuinely enthused to be working...yes, really. Upon confirming that we would be eating in house, she handed us a placard to post at our table because... They bring all your food to you! As for the meal itself. Standard burger and fries, but the ingredients did seem fresher than most. Nice, hearty slices of beef tomatoes, crisp lettuce leaves... Pretty good fast food experience...especially for one that isn't in-n-out.

This Carl's Jr is just off the East side of the 101 Freeway in a little shopping center with a Safeway grocery store and a CVS drug store. It is very convenient as you can access it off either the Canal Street exit or the Broadway Street exit. II've been trying to eat healthy lately, which means I've been avoiding fast food drive throughs like the plague. Unfortunately, when I'm making the long drive from Bakersfield to Monterey or back, I'm usually trying to keep to a schedule and don't have time to stop at a sit down restaurant for a meal. Carl's Jr seems to be one of my best bets for picking up a healthy meal on the road. Did you know that they will serve any of their chicken sandwiches as a lettuce wrap? This is a great alternative to a gluten and carb laden bun. I usually get the charbroiled BBQ sandwich as a lettuce wrap and ask for light barbecue sauce. The sandwich comes wrapped in thick layers of fresh crisp lettuce, and is wrapped in paper so that it is easy to hold and eat in the car, even while driving. I've never had a bad experience at this location, though I've only used their drive through and never been inside.

So, I feel a little weird giving such a good review to a fast food restaurant, but this particular Carl's Jr earned it.

What an amazing gem this is in King City!! I was coming home from a camping trip in the area. I saw…read morethe reviews, the pictures and I had to try it!! This is one special family owned restaurant. The food is amazing!! The portions are plentiful and the flavors are divine. I was greeted upon entry by a very lovely young lady. She was very nice and provided excellent customer service. I had the bang bang shrimp appetizer and let me tell you....BANG BANG!!! The shrimps were large and in charge. I got at least 6, maybe 7 or 8. I tried to count afterwards, but I mangle my tails looking for all the shrimp meat!! They were so crispy and crunchy. Super fresh and uber delicious. BANG BANG says it all!!! A must have menu item if you love shrimp. I also had 2 of their signature surf n' turf tacos and they were very yummy. Every order that came out for other patrons looked delicious. Everyone had that whoa look on their face when their food arrived. I saw some great looking Michelada's come out with big shrimps on the rim!! They have a full bar as well and every table has a copy of today's newspaper...nice touch. Spectacular restaurant people!! The kind where foodies drive 40 minutes one way just to eat there, because Castro's Surf and Turf is an elite food experience!!

This was a pit stop before reaching the west entrance of Pinnacles NSP coming from the east…read moreentrance. Saw a lot of hype in the reviews and wanted to check it out. Ambiance: Walking in has the vibe similar to a sports bar but as a sit down restaurant that serves surf n turf. A wooden boat hanging up on the ceiling and themed with space & fishes. Service: The worker was nice, but the restaurant felt like it was understaffed. Surf and turf tacos $6.39 (3.5/5): If I'm being honest, as much as I wanted it to taste as good as the reviews say it is. It was good but not amazing nor bad. It had a good amount of asada and 2 fried shrimp with a tangy sauce. As I was eating it, it definitely needed more sauce, as the orange sauce was not enough. Had to use additional provided hot sauce. 2 is enough just to be kind of filling. All the hype in the reviews, it definetly does not live up to it at all. It's a good spot but not exactly amazing.

There were no paper towels in the dispenser. Coming out of the restroom wing, the dispenser for hand sanitizer was empty. Then, to ordering , four employees ignored us standing waiting to order. Two were cooking, but I don't know what the others were doing. One even stopped to take a drink but still didn't acknowledge us. We were the only customers inside the dining room at the time. It was the woman handling the drive-thru window who finally came to take our order, while the rest of the crew seemed to dither around. We went to take a seat, and 2/3 of the tables in the dining room needed to be wiped down, and the floor needed to be swept, but the team wasn't paying attention. It wasn't impressive. The food was also so-so, especially the biscuits, which I look forward to - not very warm or fresh. Cole slaw was soupy; too much liquid. The "Honey Sauce" is mostly high fructose corn syrup. Sigh. Just underwhelming on pretty much all fronts. Should the GM happen to read this report, I would hope that they would plan on spending more time at the restaurant to polish up the product and service they're offering to the traveling public.
