Not a bad place, but this location is near lots of unregulated homeless. There's also signs posted by the drinks station about not selling EBT benefits, so you know what's up here. But, if you're in downtown or near the courthouse, this is probably one of the cheaper spots for a quick bite. They also have drive-thru. I just got a basic Double cheeseburger for about $4 and some change. Takeout. Dining area looked clean, but I was just in and out. read more

Went to pick up my mobile order and the girl with the bridge nose had the worst attitude gave the most attitude all because I asked her to remake the fries because she gave me soggy already past 10 minute fries and the worst part is when I asked her to remake them, it was nothing but attitude, especially when I had to bring up. Can I talk to your manager? That's when she wanted to change it. Let me know when she's your terrible worker. read more

The food was very disappointing. The oil tasted old and reused, and the burger was poorly made with chopped, uneven pieces of meat instead of a proper patty. read more

Carl's Jr - California Classic Double Cheeseburger - Fast Food Near Me - Riverside, California

I guess I didn't order right. No one was in line before me or behind me and I stood way off to the side trying to read the menu before placing my order. The cashier was having none of that and remained persistent to get my order- I was being rushed. After placing my order I was expecting my total to be around 8 dollars but the total was 10 dollars, I shook that off but really felt unwelcome. After getting my food I noticed 3 missing items. Drink, fries, and cookie. After asking that same cashier she simply said you didn't order right. I had asked that without the drink cookie or fries and paid more? "You didn't order right" I asked to fix it and eventually without words I got fries and drink cup but no cookie and did not get the difference in price. Just a wag of the finger and "next t........" I stopped her. No next time. read more

I stopped here a few weeks ago (and forgot to do my review )on my way to my destination but haven't gone here in years! I had the bacon Swiss burger and a Strawberry shake. It was good! Honestly, when you're hungry everything taste good. Nick R in the drive thru was awesome and deserves a raise and a Month off! read more

I showed up here 17 minutes before closing. I was asked at the drive through what would I like to order and I said umm just one second please.. then said I'd like to order.. I wait 3 minutes then go to the window. It's locked with bars. I'm waving to this lady who refused to come to the window then she sends over a short Mexican dude with 2 earrings on to say hello we are ClOsed. I'm like sir someone just asked for my order. He's like we're classed. I reply I thought you guys closed at 11pm. This guy replies.. You don't need to get an Attitude with me. I drive off. Carls.. your staff sucks. Do better. No wonder you guys don't even have 2 stars. read more

Carl's Jr - The manager ignoring me after asking me what I wanted to order. - Fast Food Near Me - Riverside, California

I gotta say this is easily my favorite Carl's Jr in Riverside County, perhaps in SoCal. The vibes are immaculate, in a way that feels indescribable. This location feels like if Hideo Kojima made a Carl's Jr which sounds crazy I'm aware but that's the only way I can describe it. The food here is genuinely great though for Carl's Jr, the Jalapeno poppers are always fresh out of the fryer and the double western bacon is wonderful here, always fresh tasting, and the service is always great. read more

Carl's Jr was never my go to place but this Carl's Jr has had me coming back as I have a good experience every time.The ambience is one of comfort without luxury. The murals inside look fabulous. The set up of the tables are nice and feels very open as well as inviting. All this combined makes this place makes me feel very comfortable. I have been here a quite a few times now and overall they have great service. I have noticed that the manager Dora is on the workers and not only does she lead them she helps them clean which I believe are good leadership skills. The cashiers have been great and have let me know about certain deals or meals they have going on at the time. One cashier I have noticed in particular has been Esmeralda. She has a great spirit everytime I go in along with a good smile. She is very generous with giving me time to order and making sure everything comes out right. I see her cleaning dining quite often making sure there is clean areas to eat and a clean walkway, which leads me to believe they are pretty hygienic. The food has been pretty delicious. Every time I order the guacamole bacon burger combo the taste of the guacamole and bacon never seem to fail me. The guacamole stands out to me because it is just what I'm looking for when I think of guacamole.The portions are great as well. The food is filling and I have never had a problem with any of it. I will definitely keep coming here and recommend it to anyone if they consider going to Carl's Jr. read more

It is kind of sad that they get two stars but sometimes you know some places more than others well today I had the most delicious guacamole $3.99 burger it was fresh it was delicious the bun was so soft and yummy great customer service had to give five stars Rock on Carl's Jr. market Street downtown G read more

haven't been here in years...so glad i came here for lunch...great prices,great service,great food...idk why this location prices are lower than other carl's jr in the area but i hope they don't change read more

The food is horrible but on top of that the managers berate the employees they have and make them feel incompetent mostly because they hire Spanish speaking employees. During my time here I was told I was dumb, stupid, and given 4 hours a week because they hire so many people and give them less than 8 hours so they don't have to pay any benefits. While making the cookie ice cream sandwich a manager yelled at me and said "you're so dumb would you eat a sandwich that touched the plastic? It doesn't look good!" The other manager at the time was a woman with a blind blue eye going out on maternity leave watched and let it happen. They bullied us so much that I had to leave without notice for my mental health. I would refuse to eat here because if they treat their employees this way how do you think those abused employees are handling your food. read more

Went in today to try their new coffee, and it was super good! I haven't been to carl's jr in a while because of a bad experience at another location, but this location was amazing! All the employees had a beautiful on their face and the restaurant was super clean. I will definitely be back for some more food. Food was good as well. I really like their bacon Swiss sandwich! Esmeralda was very helpful and kind! read more

Ordered the loaded burrito and a coffee. $8.59. Coffee was good. Burrito was, at best, anemic. No meat... thin.... Probably worth all of $1.99. read more

My burger was a bit dry and needed more special sauce. Service was good. Drive through was quick and clean.

Homeless everywhere, the burger was only ok and the people that work there were constantly dealing with homeless people. Sad world we're all in read more

I guess I haven't ever really left a review for a chain fast food restaurant because from the start, the expectations are typically low. But, the customer service was great! Nick R. Took our order and was super polite, super kind, and attentive. Honestly, you don't get that a lot lately anymore, so my husband and I were so pleased with his wonderful customer service. read more

Literally THE WORST Carl's I have EVER been to. Their attitudes SUCK I placed an online order 15 minutes prior to coming to pick up and the "manager" came to me and said well we don't have it so just wait. I showed her the proof it got sent to this location and we sent it 15 minutes in advance and she looked at me and said "there's nothing I can do about it" I was on my lunch from work and am now parked in the front waiting till they receive my order they said they haven't. read more

This Carls is the first Carls that did NOT extend the Military discount to me a retired veteran. I thank the ALL the other Carls that I have eaten at for slowing me the discount. While I was refused the Military discount I was not offered the over 55 senior discount that they do still offer. I'm 66 read more

I usually don't eat fast food, but I came here for a quick bite to eat. As soon as I walked in....I had some black security guard staring me up and down (I'm black). I was thinking "what the hell is his problem." Anyway, I order my food in a quick fashion and the the two service counter employees were very nice and professional (a white girl and tall black male with Afro like hair). The Hispanic female with the large neck tattoo in the back that was cooking the French fries, was very unprofessional!! I got my food and got the hell up out of there. The food was ok. I ordered the Santa Fe chicken sandwich, which was a little tough but I dealt with it. I will not be returning to this restaurant, no matter how hungry I am. read more

Bad. Sloppy. Dry old food. Dont come here for a beyond burger. They won't actually give u one. Just pass off a beef patty as one.

The fun thing about this Carl's Jr. Is it's kind of like a wild card. You're never certain of what you're going to get, other than the fact that whatever it is will be terrible. However, they always find new and interesting ways to surprise you. With Carl's Jr., You're paying more. You're paying more because they are supposed to be offering a better product. You pay restaurant prices because they can give you something similar in a relatively quick fast food fashion. What you get, however is anything other than this. They will find any opportunity to give you the wrong order. All you have to do is give them money, and watch as the missing ingredients, missing items, or unwanted ingredients roll in. There have been so many orders that they have messed up on, that at this point I'm just writing a review and deciding to never go back. I highly suggest you guys do the same. This review is about my most recent order. I ordered via Grubhub (Which is the only way you can get them to remove cheese). Any other food delivery service is blocked from this. I asked for "NO cheese please on the Western Bacon Burger. Very allergic. Please ADD mayo." I received two Western Bacon Burgers, complete with cheese and mayo. This definitely isn't the first time they've done this, and I'm thinking if you decide to go against my advice and order, write it something like this. "NO CHEESE NO CHEESE NO CHEESE NO CHEESE YOU'RE FUCKING STUPID NO CHEESE NO CHEESE NO CHEESE NO CHEESE" You might want to copy and paste that a few times in there just to be sure. Regardless, after my incident, I wanted to make sure the supervisor knew what was happening, so I did what any logical person would do and I called the restaurant. I was greeted by a female, and I asked to speak to the supervisor. She didn't say "okay" or "sure one moment", she instead wanted to get as much information from me about why I was calling. What is this about, what happened, etc. She then said one moment, and then proceeded to hang up on me. While this was upsetting, I figured no biggy. I'll call back and get it sorted out. I then get greeted by a male who asks me to hold on. I stay on hold for 15 minutes before giving up, contacting corporate, and writing this yelp review. I've had incorrect orders, I've had expired products, I've had them unable to follow custom instructions, and I've most certainly had enough. Carl's Jr. on University isn't a Carl's Jr. it may look like a Carl's, even sell their products, but it does not act like one, conduct it's self like one, and it definitely isn't worth your time or headache. If the supervisor / boss of this store reads this review, I hope this is the first time you've had this complaint. Because if multiple people are telling you this and you've done nothing about it, don't expect that Carl's Jr. Brand Label to carry you very much further when you have workers like that. Maybe before hiring people you should give them that cube with shapes on it that we all played with when we were kids and ask them to fit each shape into the corresponding hole. That's probably the easiest way to weed out these idiots. (I'm guessing if you gave this test to your current workers, you would be looking for a brand new staff) read more

It was the most tasteless western bacon cheeseburger I've ever had. Also the app is Garbo, couldn't get a BOGO promotion to work on the app

Famous Star Burger is All time favorite!!! I always Drive Thru on the way home but decided to meet my hubby there and eat in instead. Time was 6:30 pm Wednesday night and Dining room was clean but this location has it's fair share of Pan handlers approaching the patrons. This is a big downer for me. Although they have a security guard on site its a pain to have dismiss the pan handlers not to mention getting the key to use the restroom. I get it but I won't be dining inside anymore. Staff is friendly and food is always delicious. Lock your car doors and drive-thru. read more

Really wish I could give 0 stars considering their complete lack of hygiene. Found the longest fucking hair in my sandwich HALF WAY THROUGH IT and they don't even answer their phones. I'm really disgusted and definitely recommend another location over here an read more

Worse Carls Jr I have ever been to. Service is horrible, and I have too many horror stories from visits to this place to list them all. The place is usually packed between 11 and 1 with people on jury duty, since its so close to the courthouse. If i had to choose one word to describe the people who work at this carls jr..... "shady".... If you can, drive to the carls off riverside ave across the street from farmer boys. Its a fairly new location and the service is great. read more

NO STARS!!!!!!!! I would be completely ashamed of myself if I worked at this location. The employees just mope around as if many of the problems with this restaurant are no big deal. No cup lids (the cashier handed me a stack as if it was my job to replace them), no ketchup (Came for breakfast, No ketchup, came for lunch, no ketchup). Understanding this is a popular "Quick" solution for jurors (which is why I've been here quite often) on lunch, it gets pretty packed in here. With that being said, you would think Management would staff properly, or at least have some employees that were worth a damn. They use a number system to bring you your food, handing you a number and writing your number on your food tray..... So why would the food runner need to ask occupants what they ordered, when they clearly have a matching number written on the tray?! Not being able to read numbers on the table causes the employee to walk in circles with your food, then leaving it on the counter to sit and get cold while you wait for them to ask where it goes. And to make it worse these stack food trays on top of each other..... With outgoing food still on each tray. Just dirty! I also posted a picture of the Spill/Excess liquid trough. Forearm deep of soda and ice just sitting there. It blows my mind that an employee would not fix that before it overflows. Placing outgoing food trays on a counter with a bucket of sanitizer just sitting there. Shut this place down!!! 90% of my visits I've had an issue. Today for instance, I ordered a breakfast combo at 9:03. There were maybe five people in the dinning area and maybe one person behind me in line. I sit at a table with my ipad, reading emails... 9:15 rolls around and I realize it's been a while. I walk up and complain. The employee says something to the people in the back and instantly my sandwich was ready.... So had I not said anything would I have waited all day for my food??! I then came back for lunch, having to kill an hour and a half, it's the best place in the area to sit down with some wifi( only good thing about this place). I ordered a small drink, spicy chicken sandwich, and a single burger special ordered. After waiting for ten minutes, I see an employee come by with a spicy chicken sandwich. I told her I had ordered another burger. She then comes back with what I had not gotten the first time, I then realize my spicy chicken sandwich was special ordered( not what I had asked for). I really hope Management looks at these reviews, so they don't lose their job. But maybe they should for running a shit hole! read more

Carl's Jr - This is just one of the MANY reasons why this is the worst fast food restaurant I've ever been to. - Fast Food Near Me - Riverside, California

1) Typical Carl's jr Drive-Thru 2) ALWAYS make sure to check for their Specials posted in Front ....Many times these Sneaky Managers will NOT post the "2 Western Bacon Burger for $5.50" or Great Deals such a that in the Drive-Thru Section so that customers will forget then order those $6 burgers....Complete Nonsense.....Don't let this happen to you read more

The customer service is very nice! The only sad thing is that they discontinued the ice coffee

This place's drive through seemed to be going through a condiment crisis. They never have ranch and no matter how big your order is they only give you at most like 4 packets of ketchup. Before driving off it would be smart to double check your order since 9 out of 10 they will get it wrong and piss you off when you get home. This happens a lot at this location...only reason I keep coming back is the fact that it is down the street from my house. read more

Carl's Jr. is awesome, great vibes. Excellent service. Every time I eat there I feel welcomed!

I bought a combo here i asked for the code to use the restroom supervisor knocked 4 times at the door I was in there because my son who is a toddler need it to use restroom. The next time he did opened the door and walk in he kick us out. My husband explained that we where in there. After that he went to the back and starter telling his crew no to give out the code just in case you guys need it is "596" read more

Would not recommend. Every now and then, I like to get a western bacon cheeseburger from Carl's Jr..mainly because of the onion rings. The burger I got contained 2 small onion rings that were mainly just batter. Really? Only gave 2 stars because the cashier was polite but the food is not worth the 10$ I paid. read more

Carl's Jr - Pitiful onion rings - Fast Food Near Me - Riverside, California

I feel horrible for the people who have to work here, I want to apologize for the fact that you have to deal with so much. I was just there about 30 min ago and had to drive off without my food, because there were two transients intoxicated and exposing themselves to myself and the people working inside. There was a family who walked up as well and these men just didn't care and three different cops drove past. To me I'm sure the people who work here deal with more than I just saw with my own eyes and something my children had to also witness. I drove off. Without my food. Small price to pay to save my kids from being subjected to that. read more

I'd like to start off by saying I've had plenty of visits to Carl's Jr. from all over the I.E. , and this is my first time to this location on Market St. I came around 1 pm, keep in mind lots of people are here on their lunch, so it's pretty busy and there was only 1 cashier. However we were taken care of very quickly. And the cashier was very nice even though it was a fast process she didn't fail to provide good customer service. & The best part was the food of course! A western bacon burger is normally my go to. When the food was delivered to our table it smelled delicious. Our fries were nice hot and fresh! And both burgers were beautifully executed So it looked AND tasted great! Props to this location for holding it down read more
