    Kiosk

    Customer service 5 stars Food 4 stars Ambiance 4 stars Music was banging Ordering kiosk 1 stars Burger and fish sandwich was great, found a great deal in the app but the kiosk was clunky and confusing.

    The Big Carl - just like that other "Big" burger

    I don't particularly think there is much merit reviewing fast food chain restaurants because I feel most people will visit their favorites regardless. That being said, I have been to this particular Carl's Jr way too often NOT to post a review. Over the last decade, I've used the drive thru here early in the morning (sometimes before before the sun is up) and afternoon as well as dined inside for lunch and dinner. I have come solo and with groups of people. My overall experience has been that this location can usually be found clean, often with friendly and competent staff who promptly fill orders. 'Nuff said.

    I ordered a double cheeseburger combo and I though it was going to be big not small and they tricked me too hard and I'm still hungry so disappearing

    I have little to say but overall I will start with a positive, the customer service I thought was good, and overall their facility looked to be clean, the thing that I realize is that chain restaurants are not always going to be the same, some may be better kept up then others, or have better customer service, or even the food maybe better even though they use the same product. The disappointment for me was the fact that the food was not hot it was more on the side of warm, and especially since I had just ordered the food I would expect it to come out hot. Since this did not happen thus the two stars. I will say I have been to better Carl's junior's.

    Food is usually ok, and they have a nice staff, but if you are on a lunch break for work DO NOT COME HERE! They are really slow here!

    Call me a basic biased white guy, but I haven't meet a raising cane's i haven't liked yet…read more Food is up to Cane's standards, moist, crispy, and delicious. The staff keeps the place clean and is attentive and helpful. This Cane's even has a Velvet Elvis on the wall. Lol. For a corporate chicken chain Cane's checks all the boxes.

When I drove through, a girl took my order and I paid outside which was different and requested a name as well. No friendliness or general good customer service. Their speakers with their music outside are really loud so had to keep my windows closed. The person at the window was friendly. The food itself is not worth that price at all. Their fries are the cheap frozen crinkle cut kind. Not even crispy or hot but cold with no salt. The bread was so basic and bland I didn't even understand why that was even in there. I got the chicken strips and those were good as well as the soda. I like their crushed ice. But yeah, their sauces aren't good at all either. I tried their orange pepper one that comes with the meal. Ew. And the honey mustard which tasted like diluted mustard. I ended up just using my bbq sauce and ketchup at home. If I were to ever go again, it would be the chicken itself and maybe a soda but that service was not that great either but I feel like that's just fast food staff in general nowadays..

    Well, lookie what I found.. .99 fish taco! I am on a best fish taco quest. So when a friend…read morecancelled last minute plans, I searched fish tacos and it bright me here. ** Note to the wise... they share the lot with DMV, so drive and park defensively during business hours ** It's a take a seat kinda place. And the staff will take your order. I got... 2 fish tacos (surprise) and some chips and a Diet Coke ... under 7 bucks! If you're traveling with a service dog, they have mostly high tops inside, so, take a seat outside. Which is also quite lovely. They have a fun vibe inside. About 6 high tops and 2 lower 4 top tables. Outside they have three picnic tables WITH umbrella!! Brisas was my server and she was very nice! Let's talk chips. They are served warm and have a good amount of salt. The salsa are green and red and are pretty standard heat and quality you'd expect of a San Diego taco shop. Fish tacos, were as expected. Small corn tortillas, shredded cabbage, fried fish, onion, tomato, cilantro and fresh lime. You cannot beat this price for fish tacos! And they are something I would eat again! As I rank fish tacos based on taste, this is the average expectation of a taco, making it a 3. On par with the Villa on Grand (3) or Rubios (at a fraction of the price) . It is not as memorable as Taco Craft. For the price and quality combined 4.5! I also had opportunity to try the chicken and cheese quesadilla. That was yummy!

    A great spot to grab a quick bite! The portions are generous and they offer some great deals, which…read moremakes it a really good value.

I came in and it's mildly busy but even then you guys are still working with a smile on your face. Service with a smile is so important. Even more than that, this location is so clean. Especially for end of the night on a Saturday for a burger joint. The guy at the counter was so kind and patient with me as I ordered for my family of 6. He was so helpful and even gave me some recommendations about order sizes. Ultimately I haven't tried the burgers yet but boy am I already impressed. Thanks for a good experience. I'm already so excited for dinner.

They are quite proud of their fries, even posting the Idaho sources of their potatoes. They also brag on the meat, which they say is not ever frozen. Good on them, as frozen to thawed equals dry to tasteless. If you want a quick bite, this might be for you. Parking is plentiful and easy. Oh, and they have free peanuts in the shell to sample while you wait for your made to order meal.

The shredded beef is flavorful. They top it with sour cream and cheese. They aren't oily like others. I used to not be a big fan of beans. But there beans is definitely a favorite. They taste almost as good as my husband's abuelas beans. They are very flavorful great to eat with chips and salsa. The Spanish rice is very good as well. We enjoy their breakfast options. My favorite is the chilaquiles. Besides the flautas I like their crunch beef tacos, enchiladas and carnitas. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here.
