Stopped here for a quick restroom break. I did buy hot coffee and yes, I liked it. Wasn't too bad for a fast food restaurant. I did notice the entire eating area was very clean and the restrooms were spotless. Great job with the cleanliness Carls. Jr. read more

This is the best Carl's in town. Food is fresh it's hot and clean. I am really impressed with how clean the bathrooms and entire restaurant is Staff is very respectful and polite and continue to offer excellent service no matter what time of day you go in. Thanks for an awesome experience. We were broke down and in auto repair ate here 5 days. read more

My wife and I came here after McDonald's down the street was a ZOO, and the gentleman who greeted us was very kind and helpful. There were plenty of spaces to sit down and it's very clean. Why would people go to McDonald's?! This place was awesome!!! read more

Just got off the road, and we stopped at this Carls. I got the Big Carl, and some large fries and drinks. We were a little hungry. We sat inside had some food to eat. It was ok, I do not eat at Carls all the time, but when I do, it always taste good. Nice spot, I'd be willing to come here again. read more

Brought a group of adults with disabilities here for lunch. We all paid for food. Some of us paid a whopping $17 for food I might add. Staff was extremely rude when we asked for the bathroom code. Manager said he was busy and had no time to deal with us. Another customer even took the dude aside and lectured him about customer service in Spanish. Manager then yelled at us after he left. Great example of how adults with disabilities are treated as second class citizens in SB, just for existing and asking to use the bathroom. read more

Carl's Jr - Here's the bathroom code which was finally thrown at us. Feel free to piss on their floors. - Fast Food Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Best fast food restaurant by far. The Western double bacon cheeseburger and the Suoer Star with cheese are my go-to burgers whenever I eat there. Everything they offer is delicious. Highly recommended! read more

possibly the best fast food place in the area. workers seem well trained and organized with professionalism. they were also very hospitable, even coming to the table asking if we needed anything. food came out before we could even finish getting our drinks. this was during christmas night rush hour so i was extremely pleased with the experience. food was hot and was pretty much the best carls jr food could get. also very clean and the bathroom is passcode locked to avoid any homeless people. will definitely be coming back here over mcdonalds more often read more

I really enjoyed the chicken strips and cross cut fries with a soda for lunch and cheesecake

The food is what you expect from Carl's Jr. Tasty but way too salty. I think the drink guy might be speaking English but I am not sure. I think he is refusing to give me another drink refill. Not even if I pay for it. I thought I was minding my business after eating lunch. I guess he is too busy with his other duties of standing around the drink machine doing nothing. Fortunately, McDonald's is a couple of blocks north and Habit (which is actually pretty good) is a couple of blocks south, so it is not hard to find a place where people want to work. read more

Wow, I had to repeat myself 6 times to ask a question about a breakfast items and they still didn't get it. Took 2 people to try to understand what I was asking. the guy that came on after the girl and said "oh I'm sorry it's because the Mic is not that great." And I said are you serious you still don't understand me? He said no. I said, never mind just forget about it. And he said OK, so he certainly understood that. If you cannot get people to properly understand what you're trying to order in the first place you know your order is not going to be right. A while back Carl's Jr. sold biscuits and gravy for breakfast and I did not see it on the menu, so I was simply trying to ask if they still sold it or not and for the life of them they could not understand. read more

Really great service. Ed the manager really takes care of customers. Had a little issue he just jumped in and handled it and offered a free soda. That's what we want as a customer. Thank you Ed read more

I love the bacon western cheeseburgers. Best of the fast food restaurants. Onion rings are great as well as the French fries

Place is a toilet. Overrun with homeless like the rest of Santa Barbara. I usually make a purchase if using the restroom at a business. Did not this time cause ran out of restaurant and back to car as fast as I could. Was third place had to try to use toilet in this area cause too many homeless waiting in line at other places. Stopped same place last trip. Never stopping in Santa Barbara again if can help it. Homelessness is impacting tourism. City ought to do something if the state won't. Worked with homeless for years. These people are on drugs or alcohol, need mental help, or like the majority of current homeless in Ca just don't want to work. Avoid Santa Barbara at all costs or at least this part if it. So sad. read more

I came here after a rainy camping trip with some friends. The lady working the front was really nice and the food came out quick n hot. I also took the best dookie of my life in the bathroom. read more

We came here on a Thursday evening. Didn't see security and the patrons were your average take out people. This was my first time at this location although I've been attending the one on Upper State for over two decades. Our food had special orders (no tomatoes for example). It was ready quickly and exactly like we ordered. I don't recommend the new ranch bacon fries however. It's very short on the dressing. Another plus: they have cherry Coke on tap. It's one of the few places that has this, and drinking it from a can just doesn't do it. I will be returning here for sure. read more

I went to this Carl's Jr at 9:45 on December 12 and the worker who made my food was very lazy and did not care about making the food at all he was throwing food on the quesadillas with no care in the world and other peoples burgers looked very sloppy as well. I and my friend both feel ill, DO NOT! Go to this restaurant with these people working there, (Dude at the counter was cool though). read more

Carl's Jr - Fast Food Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This is the best Carl's Jr. I've ever been too! And probably the most clean, functioning, and friendliest fast food restaurant I've seen. I always stop here when traveling up/down the coast and they always have the nicest service and their establishment is very clean. I just wanted to give them a good review because I've never been more impressed by an indoor fast food restaurant. read more

I love coming here! This place has really nice workers, and the food is great. As a vegetarian, I love how they have a vegetarian option! They have what is called an Impossible Burger which is made of a juicy plant based patty with lettuce, mayo, and melted cheese! They even have an Impossible burger that has barbecue sauce Even if your not vegetarian, this burger is so good and it's something you should try at least once. My sister who is vegan, gets this burger just without mayo or cheese. read more

Have been here a few times and each time the staff are wonderful. I have never had a bad experience. The attention to detail is wonderful and I will continue to frequent this place. Keep it up :) read more

Typical Carl's. Night people can be a bit scary at this location read more

Today the security guard was absent and every crack addict and degenerate within a 500 foot radius seemed to know it cuz their restrooms were busy. Two at a time?! Four stars just for the entertainment while enjoying my lunch. read more

I love Carls Jr's burgers. I like this location as I've always received good service. It also helps that I can see my food being cooked after I order it. I'm OK with there being no drive-thru partly because I don't like using them and I agree with the whole pollution thing. Can't go wrong with this one; it's definitely easier to get to this location than the ones on Sate St. read more

I had 6dollar thick burger with an extra pattie. Employers are fast and kind and I enjoyed the burger itself. Worthy place to go

This is literally the only fast food place that I've ever seen that has 4 stars. I'm going to give 4 stars just to keep with the consistency. As stated in other reviews the place is pretty clean and service is fast and friendly. Food tastes like Carl's Jr. Which is delicious! read more

Large parking lot. The place is clean with lots of seating. Serve yourself soda, tea, coffee station, and salsa bar with other condiments. Some items are a little pricey for fast food, but they do have some $5 box meals that includes alot of food. The people are friendly. The food came out hot, and overall decent. read more

Good food but they don't understand the concept of fast food. They take their time serving people.

I've been going here for the past 2-3 years and have yet to experience any big problem. The location and restaurant itself are great and clean. It's always relatively empty compared to other fast foods so waiting for your order is usually quick read more
