Carl’s Jr.

Antonio is amazing!!! He answered my menu questions honestly and adapted to all our changes.
We drove from Kansas on the way to Houston and stopped here for a bathroom break and food. I was so impressed with the customer service here and the Accommodation’s Antonio made for us.
The food was hot and fresh.
But unfortunately the food didn’t live up to the expectations. Everything tasted frozen and sweet for some reason, and the ranch is so gross.
Great experience with the customer service but the food was no bueno.

This location is actually a Love’s gas station with a Carl’s Jr attached. On my trek back from Ennis, I stop here to get the cheapest gas going North on I45, 17 miles from Dallas. This huge place has a side for 18 wheelers and a separate side for autos. Easy off, easy back on.

This Carl’s Jr. makes me happy. Being a California native, I grew up being able to eat a Western Bacon Cheeseburger (my usual order) or a Super Star with cheese any time I wanted to, and I was pretty sad when I moved to Texas and learned that Carl’s Jr. doesn’t really exist here. That is, until the first time I drove to DFW from Houston, and saw this glorious establishment off to my right (there’s also one off I-​20 :D). The heavens nearly opened up and sang down to me. The service inside is pretty friendly, and the food is just as good as it is back home.
Recommendations? Well, aside from the two above, the Chili Cheese Fries are to die for, as are the Fried Zucchini, Criss-​Cut Fries, and the Loaded Breakfast Burrito. The Bacon Avocado Six-​Dollar Burger is hella tasty too, but soooo messy. Also… don’t tell anyone, but the little Chicken Stars for kids are pretty good too. They’re basically chicken nuggets, but they’re shaped like stars. Mmm. with some barbecue sauce? So so good

It’s shares space with a Love’s gas station in Hutchins on the Northbound side of the interstate, so it’s convenient for my trip back to Dallas from work.
I’ve gotten some of their burgers before and they’re pretty good for eating while pumping your gas. The Jalepeno burger is pretty spicy. There’s plenty to jalepenos and it’s also topped with pepperjack cheese. I’d suggest eating it there or have someone else drive while eating because the jalepenos kinda start to fall out everywhere.
They also serve breakfast. Just this morning I was gonna have a Loaded Breakfast burrito, but they ran out of some stuff so I just resorted to the Bacon and Cheese Burrito. I actually asked the order taker how big it is and she said medium… Medium my butt. This breakfast burrito is a handful. For $ 2.15, this is a gi-​nor-​mous burrito. It’s at least 3x’s the size of the breakfast Taquitos from Whataburger. What a deal!
