I forgot to bring lunch for school one day and Carl's Jr came to my mind. Carl's Jr was not too far from school, and I wanted to try this place see if it's better than A&W. I was able to see the menu in the restaurant and via QR code on WhatsApp. I received the 25% off coupon code from WhatsApp and am not sure if there ate website coupons though. Generally, Carl's Jr is like a mix of Burger King and McD. As in huge BK burger with thin patty and thin long fries from McD. Food costs more than BK. I personally think CJ is passable than A&W. Burger was okay, and fries were fresh and tasty. I'd love to try their Chicken Burger one day! read more

You can't even tell if this place is ever open. The hours are random and they always look closed. The burgers are super small and thin. Nothing like the pictures. The place is nice but food and service is bad. They will see you but ignore you. Not even "one moment" not all but the one is so incredibly rude. Not worth the price read more

Carl's Jr - Front - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This was a serendipitous visit. We were downtown for other business. and after we were finished, we noticed the Carl's Jr on the way back to the car. As Americans, we were surprised; this is the only Carl's Jr we've seen in almost 3 years here in Vancouver. We ordered: - Lettuce wrapped thick burger (fresh produce, decent for a fast food burger, added jalapenos) $7.50 - Spicy chicken sandwich (on special for 3.99) goopy, too much bread, not spicy. Didn't love this, even on the special.) - Poutine (Also on special - $2 - but just meh.) - Chocolate shake (Pretty good at $2) The service was patient and helpful. It was strange being inside a restaurant in the late stages of the COVID epidemic, and we didn't want to be inside with unmasked others, so we took it out and ate outside on a nearby bench. Parking was not an issue for us, as we were already parked for our other business. Otherwise, I feel certain that it's all pay parking in that area. Sorry no photos. We were hungry and dug right in. Bottom line: All right for fast food. Next time, we'd stick with the thick burger(s) and shake and maybe add onion rings or zucchini sticks, and I'm guessing the rating might be slightly higher. read more

The place is famous for its burgers and the reviews on yelp were so good that I decided to give it a try. Ordered Chicken jalapeño burger with criss cross fries and a thick Oreo shake . The shake was outstanding!! Super thick creamy and very refreshing. The criss cross fries came second super crispy and fresh. Thankfully not loaded with salt! The chicken tenders in the burger were super tasty. But the overall assembly of the burger didn't go well with it. I'm not disappointed but it didn't live up to the hype. Btw they also do a bun less burger (patty wrapped in lettuce) for people on KetoDiet. Will I be back again? Hell yes! Will try another burger though. But the shake and fries will now talk to me in my dreams. Yummy! Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 3/5 Must say though, the place was super clean and well maintained. read more

Had a burger craving during the first couple weeks of the Covid situation. Carl's Jr was literally the only place in Downtown to grab a burger for a short while. Stopped by to fulfill that craving. It was okay. Grabbed the burger that was on deal there along with fries and a drink. Seems fairly regular they have nice deals for burgers under $12 total. I want a fan of the red onions in the burger. It was good otherwise. The fries were tasty as well. My only complaint was that it seemed a bit light for a meal? I was still a bit hungry after the fact. Will consider coming back again another time. It was decent and fairly priced. read more

The food was disgusting! I ordered a combo and when I received it the fires were cold and the burger was a soggy, cold glop. It was so disgusting I could barely eat it. The meat was cold, the tomatoes were soggy and the lettuce was cold. I spent almost $20 on the meal and I was so unsatisfied. I'm not sure how this place is in business!? To add insult to injury, the place was unsanitary. Someone had combed their hair and left a bunched up hairball on the table where people eat! Such a gross experience. I will NEVER go back and everyone should avoid this place and save your money. There is a Mexican place near by that has similar pricing but tastes so much better!! read more

The downtown Vancouver Carl's Jr is a short walk from my work and I tend to have it occasionally either as a bite after work or for lunch. It's okay and it's something different if you are looking for something that isn't the usual quick service restaurant options. Had the Famous Star with cheese combo on this visit. read more

I've been wanting to try this place because I've heard great things about their criss cut fries, or more popularly known as "waffle" fries. It's kind of at an awkward location, since it's not immediately close to the skytrain -- I probably wouldn't have known this place existed if I hadn't looked it up specifically on my phone. We walked in and noticed that the seating area was EXTREMELY nice -- leather couches and a modern looking set up. I was actually pretty impressed by how it didn't look like a cheap fast food joint. We ordered the criss cut fries (only comes in 1 size - medium) to "eat-in" -- they give you a number that you're supposed to put at the edge of the table and they bring your order out to you so you don't have to stand and wait for your food. The wait was kind of long. 10 minutes for a single order of fries, which is much slower than what I'm used to at fast food restaurants. But the server apologized for the wait, so I didn't mind too much in the end. The fries were delicious! Nicely seasoned, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the portion was bigger than I thought. Overall I'm impressed! I'd definitely be back to try their burgers read more

Carl's Jr - Criss cut fries - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I think I failed. I was told this place is famous for its burger. So I asked the person taking the order and he said the popular burger is the guacamole bacon burger. So I ordered that. Unfortunate they are famous for the fried chicken burger. Well the guacamole bacon was really good. Lots of sauce. It has a kick to the burger. A bit spicy. To me I find the burger a but ordinary. Maybe next time I will try the chicken burger. read more

The person who took my order kept touching himself by scratching his arm, neck; and hair and then picking up a dirty napkin off the floor right before getting my order (w/o washing his hands). This worker also gave me weird looks and had plenty of unneeded attitude. Love the burgers but will not be coming again because of the terrible service. read more

It's fast food. Again, I know what to expect. But seriously, for this: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/carls-jr-vancouver-3?select=fIv96VZ-yuChh3dv0b-YKA#yHrcvgnOtQcLDyqX4BTrVw $11.75? Even though it was a double patty, bacon, cheese, and a small onion ring, with fries? Everything being frozen and all. Really? Granted, I am willing to try everything at least once, this is not worth repeating. I walk by this place a lot. It's busy during the weekday lunch hour and I've seen the line ups. I came on a weekend. No crowds at all. $11.75 for this combo and I didn't even order soda. I had bottled water. Should have asked for tap water. Even In-n-Out is at a fraction of this price. read more

A good friend of mine told me this was their favorite place so Saturday afternoon we stopped in after volunteering. We both enjoyed their portobello swiss burger with cross cross French fry medallions. Amongst a sea of Vancouver burger offerings I feel this fantastic fast food hotspot is head and shoulders above the rest. Non-traditional incredibly satisfying hit-that-empty-spot-in-your-tummy best kept secret. Free refills and the medium drinks are gargantuan. Check em out read more

Talk about disappointment. I ordered a western bacon burger because of the image on the menu. It didn't look like it and the bacon was almost raw. I asked two staff if it looks like the picture on the board and both said yes. Are they blind? Even my friend took his uncooked bacon off and didn't eat it. That is another dollar wasted. My friend recommended this place and my first experience was not a good one. Be forewarned read more

While I was walking on the streets of Vancouver doing some shopping with my wife I see that "STAR" from far away and I'm like... what??? They have Carl's Jr in Canada??? The answer was yes they do. I hadn't been to a Carl's in years in LA and the menu was really unfamiliar. I thought it was funny that they didn't have the "6 dollar burger" which wasn't really 6 bucks (it was less) in the States on the menu because all the burgers are over 6 bucks... that I had to just laugh. The 6 dollar burger if we had such a thing would have to be called the 16 dollar burger in Canada because everything is more expensive here. Meal combos which are not doubled (meat) were typically around or over 10 dollars each. The food is big, the boxes they come in are big. Doubles are huge. I just ended up getting an extra bacon Western on a fresh baked bun and my wife had the bacon avocado which also comes on a fresh baked bun. I had upgraded my fries to a bacon poutine which I'm guessing they don't have in California. They did have bacon ranch fries but I wanted poutine. I hadn't had poutine in about a week! They give you a number when you order and you just have a seat where ever and they end up bringing it to you. The seating is really limited here. There are maybe 2 or 3 tables for 2 on the level of the counter and about 10 or so tables "below" on street level with only a few tables that are more than 2 seaters and they also have a window facing counter bar style seating. Anyway the staff is really friendly and the people bringing your orders to you ask if there's anything else they can bring to you. One of them even took my tray and garbage away. I would have done it myself but the employee said he didn't mind. The food is ok and if I'm going to have a different kind of fast food burger this is a nice alternative from say Wendy's or McDonald's. It's more expensive but the food is different too. I wouldn't say it's as good as 5 Guys for a bit more money but it's decent. The fries are about the size and shape as what McD's offers, shoestring style. read more

I love the burgers and fries here so much that I eat here at least once a week. The patties have that BBQ char flavour I love and the burgers are packed with fresh goodness. The criss-cut fries are amazing, and I recommend the shakes too. The service is exceptional too. Great staff. If you prefer soggy buns, hype and peanuts, go to Five Guys. If you prefer big crowds and bigger prices, go to Fatburger. I think a lot of the negative reviews I've seen are due to this being a large American chain. Well it is, but it's also darn good. read more

Carl's Jr - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Burger Craving Review... I'm disappointed.. This was nothing like all the advertisements that I have seen. None of those large burgers, sexy meats, and overall craziness was transferred over to the actual store... I know the physical burger itself isn't supposed to be as glamorous as the one that Kate Upton was holding.. but this is ridiculous. best false advertising ever.. So now the actual review. Carls Jr is a fast food burger joint that hopes to make a bit more money by overcharging their meals by a couple bucks. The justification to this is waffle fries, blue cheese poutines, adding "BBQ" or "terriyaki" in front of something, and other gimmicky things like that. The burgers itself was decently sized, it was a decent mess to eat, but over all it was nothing memorable. For a franchise that has generated so much hype over the past couple years, I just wished they gave more. It appears many other reviews think the same way, so here's to hoping they see these reviews and give us the ridiculousness that they have promised. read more

I don't do reviews for chain restaurants, but I'm gonna make an exception for Carls Jr. Not only their burgers are way better than McD's or Burger King (Just talking about fast food burger places in the neighborhood) but they also have a low carb option for all their burgers. So you can get any of the sandwiches in a lettuce wrap. So people who are into keto diets, you can add this place in your "Keto friendly restaurant" list. Also the staff is very friendly. Food : Good for a fast food chain Service : Good Ambiance : Casual Worth the price : Yes read more

I feel a little let down by this Canadian version of an American fast food chain. I got that feeling when you think back to a childhood memory and you say to yourself "this isn't as good as I remember". When I was a kid (20 ahem... something years ago) I travelled many times to the US, in particular California, and each trip I would go out of my way looking for that Carl's Jr Star, signage. I would always order their french toast for breakfast and the western burger for lunch. Imagine my renewed excitement at hearing there was a new Carl's Jr opening here in Vancouver! My boyfriend and I decide to check it out after a day of shopping for our new place, neither of us felt like cooking that night. I was wowed by all the different items on their menu and they still had the western burger. I decided to try a different burger and went with one of their promo burgers... can't remember the name of it. In the burger it had pulled pork with patty and crispy fried onions. It had some southern kind of name: Louisiana or Memphis. The burger it self was just OK. It could have tasted a little fresher the pork and the onions tasted like they were not made same day and the fries were just meh. My boyfriend ordered one of their Classic burgers, thinking that maybe it was a speciality or signature burger. To his dismay as soon as he took the burger out of it's box it fell apart luckily we were sitting at a table so it didn't fall into his lap. The burger was wrapped in paper but the burger was so runny that it soaked through and tore the paper as it came apart. When he tried to take a bite it just disintegrated; the burger was made upside down with the patty on top of the fixings. He had to ask for a knife and fork. As we were finishing up my boyfriend decided to fill out a comment card, stating his dismay at the fact his burger was inedible. He worded it in a way meant to be tongue and cheek, and light hearted. We happened to be sitting at a table across from the order counter. My boyfriend sees the comment drop box on the counter and puts in his card. As we're getting ready to leave we notice, we assume is a manager figure (they were not in uniform), took the card from the box and read it while standing at the counter. After reading the card she calls over one of the staff, I assume the member who put the burger together... she had such a look of disgust and contempt on her face as she spoke to her employee. She instructed her employee to "read the card and burn it". We're thinking wow 0 for 2! Over all: Burgers: -- disappointed and feel let down, the American version of Carl's Jr is much better in quality and ingredients. Milkshake: -- not made from real ice cream even though their signage says "hand scooped", they do not use real fruit and instead use a syrup. Service: -- friendly, though feel sorry for the staff that they have no real positive/constructive leadership to learn from. I may give it another try in a few months after I hope they've worked out the hiccups. read more

I am so ridiculously obsessed with Carls Jr now that I have discovered it!! I have visited 4x in one week and the manager already knows me. She actually already recognized me upon Visit #2 which was awesome! El Diablo burger - amazing!!! Jalapenos, habanero mayo sauce, and jalapeno poppers on the burger. Genius! Guac & bacon burger - delicious, ample sauce. I even got an avocado facial... 2 for 1 bang for your buck right here! **Do not eat with a date around. Avocado facial may not be a turn-on.** Jalapeno poppers - yummy, good buttermilk ranch dip accompanying. Overpriced, though. Bacon ranch fries - ZOMG!!! Nom nom nom. Ice cream sandwich - Incredible! I was surprised and loved the fact that the whole sandwich was frozen. I actually expected room temperature cookies to be grabbed and a big scoop of ice cream to be smacked and 'wiched. This rocked my work for $3. Oreo milkshake - stellar!! Everything is awesome here! The staff is very kind. So glad I will be moving work locations again, very soon, so my wallet can fatten back up and my thighs can slim down :D read more

I have fond memories of eating at at Carl's Jr post drinking when I lived in California. Big burgers, waffle fries and hand-scooped shakes. However, this Canadian location is a tad bit overpriced. $12 for combo!!!!! Seriously - was there truffle oil in my fries NO. Foie on burger NO. So what the..... At that price point, folks head over to 5 guys on Robson or find a Vera's. Another tip - they are pretty crafty by only offering you medium or large on your combo, but the price posted is for a small. Shame read more

I am not a big fan of fast food,but Carl's Jr. is one I am a fan of... My favorite burger is their Western burger on fresh baked bun,the burgers cost a bit more then the average fast food restaurant,but the ingredients are fresh, the burger patty is thick and juicy, and the buns are to delish! And it's not just the food that's good, there's the service,i was greeted with very attentive employees. They were friendly and welcoming. I will also add that they are very patient with their customers. I say this because I had a hard time ordering from their menu, it's so extensive and includes desert selections. They serve you your order if you decide to dine-in. The restaurant itself is comfortable and clean (even their restrooms)good food, service, and ambiance. read more

I stepped into this place once while coming out of Pacific Center. I have seen the poster board they had with all these deliciously looking burgers and decided to give it a try. What a good choice that was. For the last 3 months, I have been a regular goer to Carl's. The quality of meat is just 100 fold better than other competitors (I'm looking at you A&W with your 'authentic hormone-less beef'... let Alone McDonald's or Burger King...), their buns are full grain and delicious, and the service is just excellent (the servers not only bring you the food at your table, but also give recommendations intuitively if they see you hesitating. Every time I went there, I came out full (very full), and happy... I know of few places that can keep this regular consistency of excellent service AND food, all for under $20/meal. It is slightly pricier than other burger places, but it is truly worth it. read more

An American favorite lands in BC! I made the trek over to Carls Jr. on my lunch break with a few coworkers. I was kind of surprised at the space that they decided to use, as they lay out is rather, well... Awkward. It is a very thin room, but very lengthy - think Tunnel Nightclub, if you remember it. I had a guacamole burger and added jalapeños because I am crazy and love spice. I had literally inhaled half my burger before my coworkers had them unwrapped. The avocado in the guac was fresh and creamy, the burger was actually moist and cooker properly. Service as fairly quick and they bring your made-to-order burgers right to your table using the "take this huge number on a stick" system. Overall ... But it was the price that got me. $22 for two burgers, two fries and two pops? Gahhh. Don't get me wrong, the burgers were delicious, but not $22 delicious. Pop is pop and the fries were rather blah as well. Good for the "experience" but it won't be a frequent lunch haunt for me. read more

Ate at Carl's JR in the states many times. Love the experience I always had. Today, I visited one that opened where I live and I wish it was al least half as good. Cashier was unfriendly or just not in a good mood at the time. Burger was half warm and bacon was limp and cold. May only return for a shake as that was good at least. But 1 star for food compared to what I have been used to for a Carl's Jr standard normally. read more

Located on Dunsmuir crammed into the side of a high rise. The restaurant is long and skinny. The burgers are okay. Very similar to Harvey's. The cheapest one is $5, and for the price, it wasn't anything special at all. Went there for the first time to check it out, and probably won't go back. read more

I stuffed my face. Feel guilty cuz my cheat day was yesterday... But It was Nom Nom Nom. Thumbs up for THREE (wow barely happen) kind of combo with chicken breast. I got the BBQ chicken sandwich combo. My Friend got the chicken club combo. I tasted both and I like both. And 0.50 cent for a large (HUGE I should say... I was like WHAT???) pop. Good deal. Awesome and friendly customer service. I will come back cuz I love the charcoal taste so much!! read more

Great to get a taste of "home", I just wish they had the turkey burgers, I love them and always order them whenever I'm back in California. The service is always very friendly.

It's been almost a year to the day (shy of a mere 3 days), but I'm back visiting CJ somewhat regularly and thought I'd update on their progress as an establishment. They seemed to have rectified a number of problems... I'm no longer getting burned burgers, burned buns, or burned breakfast sandwiches. In addition, the biscuits seem to have some flavor now, either that or I've just gotten used to them. Everyone on the staff there, as of today anyway, is friendly and helpful, and I haven't seen either of the staff involved in the previous incident I wrote about since returning as a customer to the store. I've upped the review rating from 1 star to 3 stars, and it loses the other two stars based on the fact that a) the prices are horrendous, and b) the food, while "ok", is still not crazy-spectacular, nor is it on-par with the US operations. But it's convenient, it's close, and as I said.. they've improved. read more

As you see from the promos at Carl's Jr., it's not a Kid's joint. But their menu here and promos are different from down south. I've been to several of their California outlets. Remember that American foodservice suppliers get away with lower quality products than here and some of the supplies that Carl's Jr has available down south are not available to them up here. That's also a reason why In-N-Out Burger is slow in advancing it's chain outside of Southwestern U.S. And who wants to wait for the slow service at Five Guys? Plus Five Guys does not offer shakes up here. Who would think of burgers from a joint based in Virginia? Virginia is more known for Hams. That Thickburger is sure big and mighty! Too bad that CKE couldn't use the Hardee's name up here. read more

Closest thing to In-N-Out Burgers or American chain store burgers in Vancouver. Appetizers are great, fries and their BBQ Burger are musts! I like their burgers because there is a lot of meat and toppings, not skimping like Mcdonalds or other places. Don't forget the milkshake! About $15-20 for a nice filling meal. Maybe start reviewing the food and not the price guys? Good A. read more
