I'm pleasantly surprised to see the negative reviews. I stopped off here for lunch. The location is frequented by lots of folks as it is just off the freeway. I ordered my favorite Western Bacon Cheeseburger which contain everything else. Great and quick service. I will return if I happen to be in the area. read more

My go to is usually the Western Bacon Cheeseburger. Though, I thought I'd try something different. Hand-Breaded Bacon Swiss Chicken Sandwich: premium all white chicken fillet, hand-dipped in buttermilk, lightly breaded and fried to a golden brown, topped with bacon, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise on a potato bun (3.5/5) Surprisingly juicy for white meat. Pretty tasty sandwich. Fried Zucchini: Crispy bites of breaded zucchini, served with house dressing (3.5/5). Tasty seasoning on the breading so it didn't need any sauce. read more

I like Carl's Jr over most of the other fast food joints. Their burgers are meatier and the sides are better too. I got the Big Angus which was pretty good and the waffle fries. read more

Absolutely Cold, premade burger. How can you knowingly serve garbage? I told the manager on duty, and he told me with the smart ass grin. I should've told him and they would've made me a fresh one. And I told him that that's what I expected the first time. Not garbage. Sam Hernandez read more

Carl's Jr - Fast Food Near Me - San Jose, California

Here is my two cents on the quality quantity and price of Carl's Jr... it was delivered in a very timely manner by GrubHub. I do not recall the last time I even ordered from Carl's Jr. ... so this is probably the first time in at least 30 years.. I did an order of onion rings extra crispy and a single famous star with extra onions, pickles, and mayo.. The only thing I can compare it with is Jack-in-the-Box, which I had two days earlier .. and I must say this was not as good. I could tell the onion rings and the hamburger has been sitting under house lights... they were not very hot and the onion ring were not that crispy or warm... As far as taste, I did like the unique flavor of it being charred broil..... I do believe if they had been freshly made and not sitting underneath the hot lamps, I would have given them five stars. But it is what it is.. Oh yes, I must point out that the hamburger was very big and very messy. A good sign for having this hamburger. All the hamburger a little pricey at $10 and six dollars for the onion rings read more

I end up here about once per year because I forget how bad it was the last time... This time, though, I had to write a review. Regarding the food, it's not bad but seems to be suffering from shrinkflation. The service, however... I pulled up to the drive-through window, and I swear the lady was speaking to me in Spanish. I gave it a sec to see if my brain was messing with me and said, "I'm sorry. I don't speak Spanish." If looks could kill... She said, "What did you order?!" I told her, she took my card, and I thought she was going to throw it at me. In retrospect, maybe it was my fault and she really was speaking English. I honestly don't know, and I feel bad if I was making her feel unwelcome or otherwise. I don't like to do that to people. However, it really ruined my morning and the food, so I will not be returning there. It's not worth the distance or the long wait times. read more

Explain to me where a large unsweet tea is 4$. Nope. It took me six bites to get to any meat in my breakfast Sammy. I've never been impressed. I'm not being dramatic when I say their food tastes like stuff I wouldn't feed my dog. They won't be in business long. Pass on this one. It's not the one. Even if you're starving. Food is horrible. read more

Picked up a late dinner here on a Monday cuz I told my bf that the dollar he won at bingo night would only buy him one chicken star (which he had never tried before). And I was right, a nine-piece was about $9 after tax. Not a big winner winner, but still got a chicken dinner... santa fe chicken tender wrap and chicken stars to be exact. Also got some jalapeno poppers bites and fried zucchini as well. Drive thru took about 5-6 minutes, with no one in front of us (which is actually much longer than other fast food joints). But we appreciated getting hot freshly made food, which tasted consistent with the quality I've always received at Carl's Jr. (various locations). They didn't give us any of the sauces we requested, no ranch, no bbq, nothing, which was a bummer since we ordered several side items for dipping, and only realized this later. So just beware, they're either forgetful or stingy with the sauces. At least the food was good, and not too heavy even for fried food. read more

Went in the drive thru and waited about 15 min just to get my order. Both the burger and fries tasted old. Fries were soggy. Customer service was okay. read more

I enjoy eating the waffle fries at Carl's Jr and I had the crispiest waffle fries at good location. I also ordered the jalapeño Angus burger which was loaded and delicious as always. This location has the drive thru option and plenty of parking spots to stop and enjoy your meal if you prefer to do social distancing. read more

Food: 4 / 5 Service: 4 / 5 Cleanliness: 2.5 / 5 Parking: 5 / 5 Price: 3 / 5 In my opinion, Carl's Jr is an upper-mid fast food choice. The only bad thing is the customer service but that always depends on the location. Price is usually in the higher end for fast food but you are paying for the quality in my opinion. - TikTok/YouTube: @gillynova read more

Jalapeno Chicken sw without cheese. First time into a CJR in 20y. Was good!

I cannot believe the audacity of the kitchen staff at this establishment. my dad generously gave a $5 tip to the young man at the register--who, by the way, was working hard and providing excellent service--only to hear the bitter, nosy kitchen staff nagging him in the back, clearly trying to swipe his tip! It's absolutely ridiculous that these grown adults have nothing better to do than harass a teenage boy over FIVE DOLLARS. Completely unprofessional. I won't be returning if this is how they treat their employees read more

This was the second time I've been here. I've only used the drive-thru both times. I used their app to order a small El Diablo burger combo. I just drove up, told them I had an online order, and got it at the window. My order was correct and the food was good. So far they've got a perfect record with me. read more

Looks like fast food has gone downhill. It's neither fast nor cheap. $7 for one of their basic chicken sandwiches is not what I sign up for when I go to Carl's Jr. The person at the drive through seemed really inattentive, as I had to ask several times to get some ranch. In addition, the food wasn't even hot when I got it; I had to put the food in the microwave as soon as I got home. For how much you get when you pay more than $3 dollars for a small amount of fries and fried zucchini--that's $3 each--I'd rather go to McDonalds (though that's underselling McD, they seem to have held up the best out of fast food places now). What I paid for my meal here is comparable to what I paid at a mom-and-pop shop recently, yet at the latter I was filled up for the entire day. This just didn't compare. In sum, don't go to Carl's Jr. read more

I just ordered a burger and fries and the lady charged me $12.32 at the drive-thru. I was thinking to myself that's pretty high for just a hamburger and a fry, so when she gave me the bag, I looked in it and there was no receipt. So, I asked for the receipt and she didn't seem too happy and gave me one so she gave me one. As I was driving away I noticed that the receipt was only for $11.09. so I pulled over and went in with the receipt and right then I didn't even have to say anything to her she walked over to the register and handed me a dollar. So, I told her I so you guys just help yourself to your tips right? Then walked out. I am going to call corporate because they shouldn't be doing that to people. If they had zero ratings I would have given them to zero. Make sure to check your receipt before leaving. read more

Order a #19: triple cheeseburger, chicken sandwich, fries, a cookie and a drink. Received a single burger. No cheese. Almost finished it because was hungry and bit into this: (see pics attached) WTF is wrong with the cook at this location? Used to be at least decent compared to other locations. Been ordering here for years, but after this most recent visit, highly doubt I'll returned. Do yourself a favor, go to a different location that'll hopefully get your order right, even if you have to drive a bit further. read more

Weird ass bitch taking my order had attitude at the drive-thru, so we drove through & went to Taco Bell instead. They also don't take EBT Food Stamps at the drive-thru only at the lobby which makes no sense when you're buying dinner for the family at night & the lobby is closed. read more

Haven't been to this Carl's Jr in a few months. Came by the other day and it was TOO hot to eat here. Asked the employee if the ac was working or if they could turn it on they said it wasn't working so I left and went to burger king down the street somewhere that does have WORKING ac. read more

Mold on sandwich bread! Bought a couple of sandwiches for my kids! Elder kid found mold on bread and notified me, younger one already finished eating!! Called the company and they dont care - apparently the batch that was sent in from the head office had mold (even though expiry date was Nov 3rd). Makes me wonder about their refrigeration and meat quality. Either way they dont care about customer health! read more

I really like the chicken sandwiches and they open 24 hr. Also the burgers are a good seize

Ordered online and didn't get the main item I had ordered only the drink and side I had asked for.

Don't use the app. Order food online, arrived maybe 20 to 30 minutes after it was placed. And they said that the order was never made. Said nothing they could about it. I had to leave hungry and a bit irritated. read more

The WORST experience.... Thursday night, drive thru: Filled the survey out for free sandwich with purchase of sandwich. Seems simple right? Well the employees seemed to disagree. What was ordered was the burger with 2 patties and guac... What was received (with a shove the bag through the drive thru window and an immediate slamming window and BRISKLY walking away, without so much as a "have a good night!" or "ketchup?" I would have even been okay with a glance or nod of acknowledgment) was single patties with a double dose of attitude. They were called out, and yes finally did get the order correct, but it shouldn't be like pulling teeth to get the order correct. I was SHOCKED..! Is it too much to ask for the food ordered to also be the food received? Is there a problem because one was free? If so, does that really affect the employees making the sandwich? From the information I've gathered apparently this is a common issue with not just this location doing this, but ALL of them. The attitude was ridiculous... and the only reason I feel they almost deserve 1 star is because at least they held the spit... Thank God for windows Carl's Jr, you're too expensive to be so petty, either pay your employees more so they don't appear to hate the job they do or lower your prices so they match the quality of customer care read more

This fast food store is a scam. I stopped by at 9:30pm for 2 (1/3 lbs thickburger) using coupon that they advertised to my house. Instead of charging me by coupon 2 for $6, they charge me $13.96. I didn't notice the charge because I used debit card. The next day I found out from my bank account and rushed there for complain. They keep asking me to talk to manager but their manager was working. They asked me come back another day. I did coming back next day. What they said to me is their manager is working today. Again? Look like they will never take responsibility. So don't buy anything here if you want to be another victim. This store is the worse on this planet. Fk you, Carl's Jr. read more

Sometimes you are limited by time. Especially in the south bay when it comes to a weeknight past 11pm. I happen to really like Carls Jr and have a weak spot for it. Getting back into town, picking up luggage and then get the car. It's now late. So I look up some choices and there's not much. Burger in the car with fries? Sure. Having just gotten back from Texas I guess it was still on the mind. So Texas BBQ burger with brisket and bacon plus onion and jalapeno strings. Quick, hit the spot and I could go home and crash. The girl working the window was friendly so I guess in reading the other reviews, if you go here, go late, they'll treat you right. 3.5 stars read more

The staff sounds like they are on drugs, or drinking. Entire order was incorrect, asked for beyond, was given animal meat. Don't put "proudly" serving plant based, and charge extra if your employees don't make it correctly. It's embarrassing. For such a large company you should at least be able to be consistent. read more

Okay. I don't know what I was thinking in my old review but definitely NOT a 5 star place. In fact WHY DO I KEEP COMING HERE????? The food is so bad that it's good. That's why. That being said, don't get the fried zucchini. Ever. I really love Carl's teriyaki burger and their California classic, but this place is only good when you're drunk. I wouldn't say stay far away because the food is actually edible. And I can't give it 2 stars because I still actually get food from here. That being said, I'm hoping last night was the last time I come here. Ever again. read more

I gave this restaurant five stars because the service is good and the food is good. I'm a little upset about the homeless sitting around the walkway in the front entrance to the restaurant. It would be nice if they could take care of this problem, this is no place to take your children, matter fact every time I've eaten here, I've never seen families like to see if the other restaurants. read more

Wow, this place needs a new manager due mainly to my interaction with the Sunday evening crew, who didn't want to be at work at all. I don't think they were trained in customer service because it was horrible. The burgers were bland and fries at room temperature out the bag. In all I had a horrible experience that costs me $20 to learn that I'll never go back. Their personality reflects the manager. People get bumped up to $15 minimum wage, and they don't even care. It's like, wow....just train them and act like you care owner at the Carls Jr off the 101 & Oakland Rd. read more
