This Carls Jr location shares the same parking lot as Walmart so there's plenty of parking. Handicap parking is right in front of the entrance. So I don't really eat at Carls Jr much as I'm more of a Mickey Ds person but I gotta post my review because . . . the Famous Star double beats the Big Mac hands down!! I came here on a whim and just was asking the nice and friendly Carl's Jr worker (Gabriel) what the best burger on the menu was. He suggested I get the Famous Star so I made it a double with onion rings instead of fries. Great customer service by Gabriel, he helped me understand the other things on the menu. This burger was absolutely the reason why I love to eat. Everything was spot on!! Lettuce, onions and tomatoes with whatever sauce they use for it was amazing. Onion rings were hot, fresh and crispy!! I'm gonna be eating more Carls Jr now that I know the Famous Star burger is so good. The pricing is very reasonable for a high quality burger. The ambience here is very relaxed and chill with cool music playing. The air condition is at a perfect level, not freezing and not uncomfortably warm. If you haven't tried Carl's Jr before give it a try. Nice clean restaurant, they keep the interior looking nice. read more

Carl's Jr. - The Famous Star double combo with onion rings, this beats the Big Mac combo any day!!! - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Fast food business is extremely competitive. There are several burger restaurants competing for the same burger clients. Carl's CKE has a loyal following of CKE burger lovers. The issue is when Carl's Junior falls short of their advertised quality. Cheap burgers outnumber quality burgers in the fast food world. I would totally expect sub par quality if I would have ordered a cheap value burger from a competitor. However, getting sub par quality on a premium Carl's CKE burger is equivalent of receiving an unexpected and undeserved swift kick in the groin. Cutting corners on your burgers much, Carl's? So much potential, poor preparation, poor burger temperatures. Would give zero stars if I could. Jordan read more

Went here around 8:20 pm Monday January 19,2026. ONE OF THE WORST IF NOT THE WORSE FOOD I HAVE EVERY RECEIVED FROM ANY FAST FOOD. For the prices to be how they are and the quality of the food to be as awful as it was it beyond insane. I couldn't even take a picture so much disappointment . That I just throw it away waste of my money waste of my time. Ordered a big Carl and bacon Swiss chicken sandwich. Mind you the bacon Swiss was more expensive. The chicken was not even half the size of the bread it was beyond skinny and burned it was basically black on the sides of it. They took long and even parked me all for a chicken sandwich that looks like it's been sitting for hours. The core of the lettuce was given with it a glob of mayo on the sides of the bread. The worker was throwing out trash with a whole large shake in his hand drinking. I bet the workers make sure things for them are top tier. The fact that they made that chicken sandwich and saw nothing wrong with handing that out is not only insane and scary because it shows that they don't care not even one bit with the quality of food they just want to get rid of you already. DONT EVER COME HERE. Inspection should come by and close this Carl's Jr. one of the worst foods I ever seen. And you would think Carl's Jr would care you're better off eating at McDonald's. IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS. I couldn't even return to get my money back since it was a stop before I drove home 20 min drive. read more

Comparing with other burger joints, this specific one is very nice - friendly and efficient service, clean place, and well prepared items. read more

One of my very first times coming to this Carls Jr it was very well experience. The parking lot was a pretty big one, with Handicap parking availability if needed. There is a ram from the parking lot helping wheelchairs users get up onto the side walk. There is not an handicap door though. There is a lot of tables inside, with kid high chairs, and handicap tables as well. The menu is very good! I recommend getting the burger and fries here. I got great customer service from Gabriel working that night. read more

worst service & rudest workers. the girl brianna working is a bitch. she shut the door in my face and i offered to pay more for sauce which doesn't come out of her little taxed, hourly, pay check ;( would not recommend this carls and wouldn't be surprised if they shut down soon read more

A few days ago i went to Carl's jr and I really liked the food. It was good and the customer service serve was amazing.

Just isn't very good. I hate to give a less then favorable review to any establishment. So let's start off on a positive note. Carl's Jr is a clean restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. Now for the not so good part. I realize Carl's Jr is a fast food resturant so I don't expect a burger like that from the Harvey's Wineburger or the Chuckbox. However, I do expect the food to be fresh and taste good. Today, on my visit to Carls Jr I had chicken Famous burger and zucunni. The hamburger was not seasoned and tasted as if it had been under a heat lamp for some time and that's why it was so dry and flavorless. The zucunni while it was fresh and served hot, the taste just wasn't good. The only enjoyable part of my lunch experience was my diet Dr pepper. read more

The food was absolutely amazing! I loved the service they were all so nice. I would definitely go back!

Had a friend get me that new jalapeno burger. It was very tasty, with a ton of fries. Lots of jalapenos on it. Prices are a bit steep but I guess most restaurants have had to raise their prices. I'll be back though. read more

I like this Carl's! I've been here a half dozen times over the past year - usually for breakfast - and have been impressed. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that, a couple times, the french toast sticks have been over cooked. That said... The staff is friendly and when there are no customers, they are cleaning! I love this! I'm so tired of dirty food service places. The restaurant isn't the newest or the nicest - and that's okay - but it is one of the cleanest fast food restaurants I've been to in a long time. Like I said, I'm usually there for breakfast and there's either someone hosing down the sidewalk around the place or it's wet from just being done. The tables are clean and, on my last trip, as I walked out, the manager was cleaning the service counter and soda machine and the lady in the back was cleaning around the grill. Love it! Keep us the good work! read more

Today is Monday, March 14 12:30 PM. To the lady that was working the drive thru window you are awesome. Thank you for making my day !! read more

Not sure if they fixed the sewer smelling problem inside. I went through the drive thru this time. I like there crispy chicken with bacon and swiss. My brother and sister like their burgers like the famous star and the chicken tenders. I ordered 2 fries and they only gave me one so I went back through the drive thru for my other fry. read more

Just went here to Carl's Jr. only because jack in the box was too busy. Lady on the speaker was talking really fast making it hard for me to understand her. Got my food and left . As I am eating my chicken sandwich I notice something black on it. It was a little dead black bug. I honestly want a refund for wasting my money on a sandwich that had a bug on it. That's truly disgusting. My sandwich was in a box and I only opened it once I was at home, the bug had to be on it when yall gave me my food. To anyone thinking of coming here, don't. Gosomewhere else for better food and service. Also don't eat food in the dark, never know what could be on or in it. read more

It's been awhile since I've been to a Carl's Jr. I got a Famous Star and Spicy Chicken. I remember when Spicy Chickens used to cost 99 cents; they're $1.69 (nice) nowadays. I didn't like the fact that they completed the order of three people who ordered after me; it goes to show a malfunction in their ordering processes. The food itself was nothing special either; definitely not worth $5+. read more

I like going to this Carls Jr because they always have good service. From what I see every employee is on their feet and working. The food is warm never too cold or too hot and the wait is never too long. read more

Great food and good quality for sure! I give credit to Jaqueline for the best service and being nice with us.

While I don't frequent fast food, when I do, this happy valley location is the one to go to. The cone comes out fast and hot, and the staff is very friendly. Props to the workers and people running this location. read more

Love this place. Quick, convenient, great fast food. Great service. Their loaded breakfast burritos are awesome. Maria is usually at the drive thru when I go and she always greats me no matter how busy she is. She gets my order right and provides it quickly. And without fail she always wishes me a nice day. You don't really expect much at a drive thru but she really makes it special. I go here often because its so close to home. Foods always hot. Nothing at all to complain about. read more

I did order the biggest guacamole one and even that one was delivered cold, the patties tasted dried and even frozen, and only one person waiting on drive in, nothing compared with other Carls Jr with juicy meat. 2.5 star! should be bribed customers, I never rated so bad any store like this one read more

Why do I always forget about this place?!?! It was late, a couple nights ago and the choice place was closed... we found you again and we were glad! Service was impeccable, food was excellent! I tired the new hot honey chicken for something new. Wow! Not o it was it delicious and tasted like real chicken for a change... the meat was actually hot!!!! Seems as of late we have it get cold burgers from fast food places. Hot cooked meat was another treat!!! We will remember you again next time we are in the area. read more

Decent customer service does not exist at this location. The manager, Joell, is combative and aggressive and his employees are learning from the pathetic example he is setting, as a manager, and a human being. He will make a spectacle as he treats you badly, as he belittles you, and he will proudly give you his name when you ask, without the common decency of turning his chair around to look at you. This is my second interaction with him, the first was not pleasant, but definitely not as bad as this one. On that day his staff were having a good day, and were nice. The first one was a result of me trying to order through the awful Carl's Jr app that never works with rewards. I was in the restaurant trying to get help with it, and was informed that they don't do anything with the app. I asked if there was someone I could talk to @ corporate, and Joell gave me the direct number. The first time the app wouldn't work, I couldn't place an order at all using my rewards. Today, I successfully placed orders, but they randomly canceled en route to pick them up. When I got there and again asked for assistance to figure out what happened (as these orders were actually placed), Joell was ready...ready to be a complete jerk. In a nutshell he wasn't happy to see me, remembered me from last time, when I apparently had the nerve to make him do his job and assist me, and decided to make a mochary of my problem, reminding me he already told me they can't help. When I asked for the customer service number, so I could call right then and there, he said he gave it to me last time, all the while showcasing his bad treatment of me as a spectacle for his staff to enjoy, as he walked across the counter area to grab me a piece of paper to write it down again. After speaking with customer service, I asked for his name, which he yelled out to me from his chair, back turned, sitting at his manager desk in the office (the door was open). Joell...I was nice to you and patient with the app issues, never blamed them on anyone at the store level. You are not a nice person and should consider, as a service to your fellow man, getting out of customer service. read more

So much for no cheese on my double western. And with the inside closed, I'd have to wait in the long drive thru line, again. Tried calling, eventually hung up after who knows how many rings without an answer. Horrible. They clearly put it in as no cheese as the receipt reflects such. Won't be back here again. read more

Carl's Jr. - Horrible burger - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I went through the drive through today and ordered the #14 grilled chicken south west sandwich with lettuce wrap instead of buns and no cheese. It was delicious! I loved the green peppers on it and the chicken was good. I also ordered an ice water which they forgot to give me (and I didn't notice until I had already left). I also waited almost 10 minutes after ordering my food, not sure if the truck in front of me ordered a ton of food or they are just slow. At the drive through window I smelled the sewer smell other reviewers mentioned. If you're going to eat here I recommend the drive through due to the strong foul smell inside and double check your order before you drive off Incase they forget something. read more

Every time I have gone here they always forget something. Also the tenders tasted like they were 2 days lol. They need a better manager. Come on Mariah you are better than this! read more

Service is on par to good. While they have yet to ever mess up on my order theres times that it takes my order so long I have to pull off and park for them to bring it out 5-10 min later. Outside of that biggest complaint is they're always short on some condiment whether its ranch (honestly the only time they've ever had ranch they had to pour it in a plastic container for me) or even today they were out of salsa. Advice to management is to handle your food line better and more importantly do a better job on your inventory (this is my only reason for not giving this location 5 stars). read more

Are you serious $19 for a western burger meal???? Yah right maybe if you guys made my food fresh and I got it hot but no the frys are soggy and the burgers are slapped together and old meat!! Get real read more

Patty was hard as a rock. I couldn't eat it. Do they even inspect their food?? It was gross and made me sick. I'm surprised there's no QC.

This place is absolutely terrible. I've been to ones in worse areas and had better food and better service. Like what is this!? read more

Carl's Jr. - This is DIS-GUSTING - Burgers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First time at Carl's in over 25 years. Ordered the Jalapeño Burger meal 1/3 pound for $9.95. While I waited I noticed music videos playing. Annoying to me but probably popular with most. My lunch arrived in 4 minutes. The fries were hot and crisp, the bun was fresh and the veggies (lettuce, tomatoes, onion, jalapeños) were all crisp and cool. I don't know what sauce they put on it but it complimented the sandwich perfectly. I recommend this Carl's for quality food, fast, friendly service and good value. read more

I took one bite of the cheeseburger and put it down. The cheese was cold and a section of my hamburger-bun bread was hard because it was stale. I then tried the onion rings and french fries, both were luke warm to cold. Regardless, how hungry I was I returned my order for a refund and declined a replacement meal. read more

Here I sit in the parking lot waiting for them to open. Sign on the door states they open at 6am it's now 6:20 am and no one in site. All I want is to try the sausage egg biscuits read more

This was the first time I'd been to Carl's Jr. in 10+ years and I was really looking forward to having their fried zucchini. Unfortunately they weren't good at all and tasted like they were freezer burnt. It was terrible, ranch couldn't even cover the awful taste. And the cheese they used on my burger wasn't good either, tasted like they used Kraft singles. read more

I've come to this location twice and have gotten sick both times. I've never had an issue except at this location. Me and two other friends came yesterday and all three of us are paying for it today. Not really sure what's going on but I wouldn't recommend eating at this particular location. read more

Walked in just before 10:30 pm and saw the waitress at the register grumble under her breath "Yo dude, we bout to close..." Almost 40 minutes before closing time is not what I'd call "bout to close" but I think she was just upset that she had to put her phone away and actually work? Plenty of places around this spot, choose somewhere else that appreciates your business. read more

I don't write reviews but this place is a joke. Even for food. Poor service, worst food.

Geez! What a downer! Pulled out of the drive-through, got on the 17 and breakfast biscuits were hard and burnt AND gravy was liquid milk and cold! Threw it all away. read more
