    the empty parking lot
    John W.

    It's been a year or two since I had a beef taco salad from Carl's Jr, I was surprised to see that they had one in San Carlos. I placed my order at the drive thru. For one beef taco salad the total came to $10.61 so I gave the cashier eleven dollars even. I knew something wasn't right when the cashier gave me back 78 cents change? Of which I only kept 39 cents and gave him back the rest. So I pulled around and parked inside the parking lot and was just about to dig . This is when I noticed both the lettuce and the guacamole were brown! The ground beef tasted strange also. So no taco salad for me today. I took it back and they refunded my money.

    Sausage Grilled Cheese Breakfast Sandwich? Why no round sourdough bread? It was plain white bread. Smashed too.

    Wrong order I ordered a chicken grilled burrito and that's what the receipt indicates. Didn't open it til I got home - NO CHICKEN, a few bits of carne asada and I mean a very few bits, mainly beans and rice. I guess this is what I deserve for not going to a taqueria instead. And it cost over $10.

    Supposed to be grilled - but it wasn't

    This is what they consider a GRILLED burrito. A CJ's soft anemic tortilla. I should've known better than to order Mexican food from the CJ's Green Burrito section.

    $11 grilled steak quesadilla. ( Got this sorry looking quesadilla non-grilled & cold )

    Ordered a "GRILLED" steak quesadilla ($11 - PRICEY for what you see in the photo I included) & got this cold non-grilled quesadilla. Complete waste of food, time, and money when Carl's Jr can't even train its employees to make the item on the menu correctly. Ended up throwing it out. They also charge for sauces beyond 1 packet. Never coming back again. See other people's reviews complaining about the same problem ordering food and not getting what they ordered and half ass food making attempts while charging you full price

    Been here a couple of times. Tried there beyond burger. It taste somewhere between a garden burger and a famous star. Quite expensive, even for the sandwich by itself. You get 2 patties for only $6.99 at safeway. I can say there organic hamburger is pretty good.

    Loveeee it

    The most friendly and comfortable place to eat some BEST waffle chicken sandwich EVER!!!

I've never had that experience with any other fry but without fail, if I eat super duper garlic fries, I will have a bad night of sleep lol. I always order the mini burger with grilled onions and jalapenos. I used to get the regular burger but that always ended up being way too much meat. Highly recommend adding an egg if you want to splurge, they cook it so well and it tastes delicious with the burger. Also love the pickles but have noticed some inconsistency in flavor every time I go. Sometimes it's just salty, other times more vinegary and sweet. I typically order on the kiosk so I don't interact with the workers much, but service is prompt and friendly, they're definitely not dilly-dallying back there. I also find Super Duper restaurants pretty relaxing and welcoming overall, something about the open, clean space. Also love that everything they use is compostable!

My boyfriend got a sandwich and fries for us to share, but honestly, we ate across the way at another restaurant that had AC on and I know it's not terribly hot in San Mateo that this particular day was incredible and I wanna say 89°!! I actually felt bad for the employees working inside, especially in front of the grill as they made all their food we ordered!! At the same time, I was happy to eat my salad and get a nice glass of rosé and eat comfortably in air-conditioning and not sweat all over my food. My boyfriend loved the Philly cheesesteak burger and he liked the garlic fries, but he did say the bottom half of the fries got a little soggy. I think it's because we got it to go instead of enough for here plate. I love Arnold Palmer and that was perfect thing to quench my thirst. I will be back, but definitely for takeout!!

We found parking close by and walked to the front of the restaurant only to realize that to enter, we had to go in from the back since the dog couldn't walk through.

The person who brought us menus and served us turned out to be the owner, Vidal. He was friendly, engaging and very mellow. She got The Roadhouse, while I got The Wildcat with Bacon and Swiss Cheese. She also ordered some chili and we split an order of onion rings. For the dog, we requested a chicken tender, no sauce. These are fact smashed burgers and do not come with lettuce or tomato. Overall, we found the food to on the salty side. But that's us. We use very little salt, if any, when we cook at home. The Onion Rings were plentiful and excellent. Princess thoroughly enjoyed her Chicken Tender. I apologize for the quality of the photographs. We sat under red canopies and I failed to color balance my phone.
