Their Mexican menu 12.2.24
Aman S.

Only Carls Jr in the area none in Dublin Pleasanton but a newer modeled one in Livermore next to Cattlemen's. This CJ's is popular for drive thru mostly as every time I've been inside there is no one or one person. Maybe it's because of the outdated 80s interior which is really depressing. The service is good and polite. I do have noticed one burger meal was around $19 so I chose a chicken sandwich and small drink but that was still like $16 geez. Habit burger and Jamba Juice is next door. The drinks are free refill s, the bathroom is a wreck and old too. I wish they remodeled this Carls Jr like Burger King did across the street. It's not like it's messy or anything but people enjoy an updated interior and customers feel the price will justify it. What I like about Carl's Jr is the different types of burgers and they are not small. They even have the Diablo spicy burger again .12.2.24 Shakes are decent too. I wish they had like a value menu or something like other fast food burger places. For them to be in business still with an outdated inside says a lot and they are doing service and taste right. They have an expanded Mexican menu but I have a thing about ordering Mexican food at a mainly burger place and vice versa but I'm sure the green burrito shouldn't be that bad. I think the charbroiled at Habit is just a tad better. But you be the judge . Rarely ever is the drive thru ever backed up which is convenient.

Bad... just bad. Ordered the "Classic double cheese burger" and a small drink today after shopping at Costco. The burger was a dried out mess, tiny and full of mustard. I had to wait for a while since it appears they're cooking to order. That junk burger was $4.39 with a small drink at $3.19!!! Done with fast food. The quality is down the drain, and prices are absolutely unreal. Thanks to Gavin Newsom. Should have simply got the Costco dog and drink.

Not sure why reviews here are so low. I have always had pleasant experiences at Carl's Jr as a chain, as well as this spot. I will say that their burgers are 2nd to only in-n-out. They are very delicious and from what I've seen prices have remained consistent during this massive inflation lately too. I just ordered the big cheese burger but it was delicious. Cooked very well and had lots of flavor. I add a little bit of their buffalo sauce too and it's icing on the cake! The drive thru attendant was also very sweet and wished us a happy thanksgiving too!

Beyond Burger
Harvey K.

***Beyond Burger Review*** The Beyond Burger is advertised as "the world's first plant-based burger". Made with pea protein, It is one of the hottest faux meat products in the market right now, along with the Impossible Burger. I decided to give it a try at this Carl's Jr location when they ran a special promotion on 08/15/2019. In order to redeem this offer, I had to purchase a large drink. That and an order of fried zucchini set me back close to $8. I later found out the regular price of the sandwich was $8.49. At first glance, the Beyond Burger looked just like any ordinary burger. But further examination of the patty revealed a slightly lighter color than those made with beef. I tried the patty by itself and noticed it had a slight smoky aroma. The texture was spongier than beef patties. The taste was actually quite similar to real beef. Had I not known what it was, I would have thought it was a real burger. There is much debate over whether plant-based burgers should be viewed as "healthy food" because of their saturated fat levels and the amounts of amino acids in them. You should do your own investigation to see if you should incorporate it into your diet. Personally, I don't think it has overwhelming health benefits and the taste is just OK. Unless the price comes down significantly, I doubt I'll eat another one. BONUS MATERIAL: - If you have food allergies, I suggest you check the ingredients before trying.

All star meal spicy chicken sandwich and double cheese burger
Steven M.

I had the best meal. Food was perfectly cooked. Fries where crispy and hot as was my chicken sandwich. I was very impressed with the customer service from the guy who served me he delivered the food to me so quickly and presented perfectly. I will be sure to eat here more often.

Chicken tenders-nothing exciting
Victor G.

the parking lot is small. goes only 1 way. ( (the habit side is out only). the green burrito menu is easy read but Carl's pricing difficult to see. dining available inside. eats: chicken tenders (3/6 ish) -hand breading didn't add anything special. --chicken tenders didn't taste special. dislike parking setup. wouldn't repeat.

a hand holding a piece of fried food

This is my go-to since I work late nights about several blocks from this location in Crow Canyon. I ordered through the drive thru and one of the items was a 5-piece chicken tender. When I got home and changed into my house clothes and took the food out, I realized the piece that was on top was CLEARLY BITTEN OR EATEN OFF OF!!! You can tell the difference of something being torn apart or bit. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and dumped the entire content hoping it was just broken and the other part was in the bottom somewhere. The other four pieces of chicken tenders were about 4-5 inches in length, and the one that was clearly eaten was about an inch long. I was, and still am, so appalled by this. I called them right away and even though they are open 24 hours, no one answered. I was not going to drive back there at about midnight to drive 15-20 minutes as I was exhausted from work and was due to leave at 6am the following morning to go out out of town for the weekend. I wanted to email corporate, but they only provide a physical address on their website. I went ahead and filled out a complaint form they had online. About a couple of day later I received a call from the District Manager who was nice. He heard my concerns and I did his. I told him that I did not want any refund, monetary or replacement of food. I just wanted them to know that this was unacceptable and something needs to be done about this. He insisted I get a complimentary replacement for the chicken tenders at the location as to "fix" the issue and asked what day and time I will be arriving. To make him happy, I went back to the location and received the food. As I entered the premises and told the staff that I was sent by the DM for a complimentary 5-pc chicken tenders, the associate in the back handed it to the lady in front. There was another guy that said get her a fresh one. They returned the other one and in 30 seconds they had the same one and told me it was a fresh one!!! Still, I politely took the food and found no reason to complain since like I said, I was not interested in anymore food from there. I've enjoyed Carl's Jr. since my stepdad introduced mo to it in 1985. The location I now frequent is very convenient. Will I return to this location? NO. NEVER. It wasn't a "mistake" that can be fixed. It wasn't a wrong order, or orders were mixed up, or something was extra or something missing, or the sauces were oozing out of the burger wrappers, or it wasn't even a piece missing of the tenders. It wasn't even that some fries were taken or a piece of tender was taken and then completely eaten by an employee. IT WAS BIT OFF OF, EATEN, and the remainder piece was returned! Very unacceptable and unsanitary. The District Manager was nice but if I could give this location a zero star, I would. I can only think of what happens in the back. The employees picking off the food or so many other things I can imagine!

When I opened it up there was no doubt it is spit.

Adj: Efficient and Excellent…read more We were in the area and decided to meet a friend for dinner at this In-N-Out Burger in San Ramon. We'd never been here before, but we knew that In-N-Out is usually consistent in quality and service, and this was very true in San Ramon too! Sunday evening is apparently a super busy time for this location (and many others). As we drove up I was a bit worried b/c the drive thru line went on and on about 2+ blocks past the parking lot! In fact, we saw the line stretching out before we could even see the store. Thankfully, we were dining in, and it actually didn't take that long, I was surprised people insisted on going through the drive thru as my experience is that it's much faster to just order in the store and take out if you were not wanting to dine in. In any case, I went to order for our group while some of us went to meet our friend and quickly found a table with enough seats for all of us. A nice family shared 1 seat w/us. It took about 15-20 for our order, so it wasn't too long at all while we chatted and waited, the time flew by as we enjoyed our conversation. While waiting, we also saw staff cleaning/picking up and wiping up tables, and sweeping while we ate and they were friendly and quick when we picked up our order too. Our burgers were fresh, hot, tasty, and done well, so everyone was happy and the fries were also hot out of the fryers, and our drinks cold and refreshing on that hot summer day. There's not much at In-N-Out's in terms of ambiance, haha, esp when it was bustling, but it wasn't too loud even though it was packed, so we could enjoy each other's company. Overall, we were happy with our dining experience at this In-N-Out Burger location, and we plan to be back and enjoy more delicious and fresh burgers and fries with our customized orders (animal style and/or just grilled onions)!

Thankfully we were dining in because we were meeting a friend who lives in the area here for dinner. We quickly found a table bc it was quite packed inside too. The wife ordered and then we waited and got our food about 20m later, really not that long at all considering what the line looked like outside, I'd totally come in and take out it'd definitely be faster. The burgers and fries were fresh and delicious as usual. Nothing special but every bit predictable which is how it should be. Fries were very fresh and hot, and the burgers were perfectly done down to the buns. All good. All in all, this store was clean, staff were friendly and hardworking, service was good, and the food was good. We'll be back, but maybe not on a Sunday evening.

What you get from going to chains. Came here and got some nuggets. Food is what you expected and it was quick. This particular location holds a special place in my heart because I actually worked here a long, long time ago. It definitely had some renovations in modernized over the years, but I still have some fond memories of the friends. I've met here while working.

1 STAR!!! CHECK YOUR FRIES BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE DRIVE THRU!…read more I'm done giving the McDonald's in San Ramon the benefit of the doubt. This has happened too many times, and at this point it feels deliberate. Look at the photos. These are supposed to be full orders of fries, yet once I got home both containers were barely half full. And this is not the first time. And compare that with McDonald's own advertising. Their large fries are pictured packed to the top and overflowing above the carton. Then look at the photo of what I actually received. The difference is ridiculous. If that's the portion you advertise and sell as a "large," then that's what customers should reasonably expect to receive, not a carton with a huge empty cavity and handful of fries sitting at the bottom. I have literally watched employees squeeze the bottom of the fry carton inward while filling it. That makes the container hold significantly fewer fries while still making the fries sit high enough at the top to LOOK full when they hand you the bag. Then you drive home, the fries settle, and you discover you paid for a full order but received half a carton. I've also seen another trick where the fry container is put into the bag at an angle or practically sideways, so the fries bunch toward the opening and look like they're overflowing. It creates the appearance that you're getting this huge, generous serving. Take the carton out and stand it upright and suddenly you see how little is actually in there. That isn't an accidental short pour. Those are specific ways of making an underfilled container appear full.

Mendocino Farms is a solid choice for sandwiches and salads and has become one of my go-to spots…read morewhen I want something tasty but still healthy-ish. I love that the calorie counts are included on the menu, and the portions are just right. The service also reminds me a little of Trader Joe's customer service. Everyone is usually super smiley, personable, and genuinely helpful. If something isn't quite right, they'll actually try to make it right instead of making you feel like you're being difficult. My usual order is the Avocado & Quinoa Salad, with the "Not So Fried" Chicken sandwich or salad-style version as a close second. I also really like that you can turn any sandwich into a salad. If you order in person, the staff will usually let you choose from several different salad mixes, which I wish was also an option in the app. The seasonal menu is probably one of my favorite things about Mendo because there's always something new to try. A few summers ago I had a spicy prosciutto and peach sandwich that was honestly out of this world. It's still my favorite sandwich I've had here, and every summer I hope it makes a comeback. I may or may not think about that sandwich more often than I should. The 1/2 sandwich option is also great when I want something smaller since it comes with a side. I just wish there were more salad choices besides the kale and apple rainbow salad. On colder days or when I'm feeling under the weather, the lemon chicken and farro soup is excellent comfort food. And the basil pesto shells are my boyfriend's favorite side, so those almost always end up in the order too. There's a few tables outside, which I prefer when the weather's nice. Inside, just beware of the grassy bench seating because I've definitely run into a few sticky spots there.

Self-depreciation joke aside, let get straight into this review. My wife and I were looking for a place for lunch and wanted something on the lighter side. Ive been meaning to try this place out and was very glad that I did. This place actually makes eating healthy fun and is very delicious. Life is about balance and I certainly cant always have fries and cheeseburgers. I mean, I could but I'd pay the price. I didnt feel like I was making any big sacrifices with the steak sandwich. It wasn't heavy like a cheesesteak would be and I was satiated. What I didnt expect, however, was enjoying the salad more than the steak and bacon sandwich. Excuse my english but Holy Shitballs, this was a very tasty salad and everything tasted so fresh. Salads are supposed to taste fresh so, you can tell I dont eat salads very much by the way I am describing it but man, I could eat this salad multiple times a week! I am trying to make healthier decisions, it's not easy but every little bit counts.

As for service it was also always good as they are nice and overall always got our orders right. The only reason I am giving a 4 out of 5 stars though is because one this location can be a pain to find in San Ramon as it is kind of hidden. And two, there were times when we got our food when we ordered take out and the fries were either a bit soggy or cold. Leaving us a bit concerned about how long it was sitting out for before we picked it up. Also means the fries could be cooked a bit longer to give them a more crispy texture. In the end, it is still a solid location to go to like other Habit Burgers and its worth a shot.

Yes, it was busy, but not busy enough to disregard people entirely when they've been waiting 30 minutes for a coffee. Every single DoorDash order that came in after us was fulfilled and picked up before they even started on our order. Once we received the coffees, the hot coffees were very cold and the iced coffee was melted. Two of them were the wrong orders entirely. Safe to say I will not be coming back.
