Carl’s Jr.

Watch out! This place will overcharge you for combos. They have gotten ridiculously expensive as it is. But, please check your receipts! The drink prices are insane! $ 2.30 for a small, $ 2.72 for a medium, and $ 3.12 for a large!
The overcharging scam works like this: They charge you for the combo which is supposed to come with fries and a drink. But, they also charge you separately for the drink. Check the receipt!
The managers tried to justify this saying that they give a «discount» for the burger. This was not the case. I actually took out my calculator to show them how much they overcharged me and the male manager talked over me told me that he was right even though a calculator showed him that he was wrong.
Then they attempted to make it «right» by giving me $ 1.50 back for the 3 combos I got. That is nowhere near what they overcharged me. They overcharged me $ 8.56!
I will never be back to this location. They do «fuzzy math» and overcharge you for combos.
Beware!

They do the best they can. It’s just the neighborhood’s problem — locked restrooms, guard on duty, strange people hanging out.
But nice people work here and the food is what you would expect.

I have been coming to this Carl’s Jr for about 5 years now and have to say that I have yet to find a single thing wrong with establishment. First off, the manager here is excellent; she always greets me with a smile and always seems to remember my order down to the drink. She always moves at a fast pace, I never seem to wait for my order for more than 5 minutes when she is here. This place may be more expensive than most fast food restaurants, but the quality is always excellent; its one of the few places around that tastes like the food items are made to order and made from scratch. Also, I think its pretty cool that they bring your order right out to your table; it makes me feel like customer satisfaction is their top priority. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the up keep of the lobby; its always very clean, in a 30 minute dine in period; you may see workers sweeping, wiping tables or emptying trash cans at least 3 – 4 times, now try comparing that to somewhere like Jack’s; where your food tray sticks to the grimy tables. All in all, this place is great, I’ll definitely be back soon, and to all you haters; if you don’t like it then don’t buy it or get off your A** and cook your own eggs at home :)

Relatively clean dining room friendly service, served me GARBAGE! Literally some garbage that should have been thrown out the day before. A cold sandwich that was supposed to be hot on a soggy bun. I was disgusted. Never again! Im not really into fast food but saw some press for this place touting quality… Not at this location. Sry carl I tried

I will never go to this Carls jr again. Where do I start? First they charge me $ 13 and change for a hamburger, fries, and a small drink. The fries were not hot, the hamburger meat tasted like it was sitting in a warmer because it wasn’t hot. You can’t refill your drink yourself, they removed the soda fountain from the dining room. The floor was dirty in the dining room and the men’s bathroom was extremely dirty.

This place never opens on time! Says open at 6am however the owner shows up around 6:15– 6:30am

My cross cut fries tasted like water, and the ranch… don’t even get me started. Don’t come here if you’re looking for a FULL meal to enjoy. The cashier was polite though.

The food and service are good. The wifi adequate in the kitchen & front counter, but practically non-​existent in the dining area, thus diminishing the usability of this convenience.

Every time we go here they always Fuck up our order today we went and received burnt burgers island who the chef is but they need to fire him quick

One of the staffs was very rude. Ordered a strawberry shake when the staff ringed up I gave a Jack in the box coupon, which i thought was Carl’s jr. I apologized for the mistake and paid for the shake. While watching her making it, i noticed the ice cream, i assumed its vanilla, was yellow not a normal vanilla color. Anyway i still tried it. The whipped cream tasted like old cooking oil & the shake tasted sour. After on sip, i came back in to tell them something is wrong with my order. The lady who made the shake immediately gave me nasty attitude. I said i saw how you made it, just ice cream, milk, syrup, but maybe the milk or the ice cream was bad, idk. Then she asked if i wanted another one, i said no thanks. Then she mumbled something and made fun of me to other customers, «she came in here & gave me a jack in the box’s coupon, blah blah…» i thought to myself i already sorry about the mistake & its not like I was an ass & told her to honor a coupon from other store. I didnt want to waste my breath argue with rude people so i told her i want my money back. That was the 1^st & the last time i step in this store.

Avoid this restaurant it has roaches the help was not very helpful there’s no soap in the bathroom avoid this restaurant at all costs

B. came with Carl’s Jr. and she came to leave me.
She said she’d been seeing Tu Karj the Harbinger and it was getting serious. She and I had never been serious, you know.
I know that TK is the Prince of Blades’ hand on our earthly plane, and he’s 8 feet tall and looks like Kal Drogo dressed up for Death Guild. But I got him where he is today, and introduced him to B. no less. Prick.
B. somberly unpacked two Mayo Pattie Sr.‘s and a mini-​trough of X-​Men Southwest Bean Dip Churro Twists. A little secret for you mom-​and-​pops: I automatically give 5 stars for any boxes of food with Patrick Stewart on them.
What’s serious, anyway? TK has a brow furrow you could run a credit card through, but his doombringer dayjob seems sort of silly. Maybe B. and I would have got serious if we had endured a shared tragedy. That’s why I poisoned her dog, but in hindsight that was more black comedy.
Before I started to cry, the Carl’s bag yielded a Greatberry Gelatone Parfait. The tear-​out collecting card was Kitty Pryde but it left a hole the cup and the parfait all came out onto my rug. Finally I fished out a Bobby Seale bobblefist and a coupon for another go, when I’m ready.

Good place to stop on way to Kaiser cause the food there isn’t too good. I also like that they have a parking lot as well.
This freaky looking lady gave me 2 cents so I didn’t have to get 98 cents change.

I never go to Carl’s Jr. but just had their Grilled Atlantic Cod sandwich and man was it good. It’s so nice to have a fish sandwich that’s grilled and not breaded.

Pros
— One of the few late night options in the area
— Food is «made to order»
Cons
— Not open THAT late
— Food takes forever
— Often understaffed
— Meh/​Super Salty Chili Cheese Fries

The food at Carl’s Jr is the same, wherever you go.
All I wanna say about this place, is when I walked in, it was fucking CLEAN. I liked that.

Yes the food and burgers may be good from this chain but this location is not the best. If you do go then make sure that you go early when the sun is out and maybe but maybe you might make it out alive…
Don’t be a tourist trying to come here.

I’m a huge fan of this Carl’s Jr because it is the closest one to the Berkeley area. It is just like a 10min drive away. They have the usual menu any other Carl’s Jr’s have. I always enjoy their zucchinis and their spicy chicken sandwiches. The spicy chicken sandwiches are a little more pricey than the usual $ 0.99. They have ample parking as well. The area is not the greatest as far as the neighborhood, but I alway order to go and eat it back home. I’ve come here twice in one week before short after discovering it.

Carl’s Jr. looks about the same everwhere, the décor, the menu, and the staff also.
eats: 6.00 dollar burger (4.39), ordered medium rare
— containted black angus beef, red onions, lettuce, cheese, tomato, mayo, on a soft bun.
–came out med. was told they can’t do medium rare, burger is in automatic cooking cycle, can’t be altered.
–beef a little gritty, a little gristle present, cheesy taste.
foodnotes:
–all corporate burger joints same? no medium rare.
–hamburger meat from many sources, risky to cook rare.
–pleasant consumer experience, relatively fast service.

It’s a Carl’s Jr.
Usually I don’t have much more to say than that, but I do have to comment that they are consistent at this location, which frankly is EXACTLY what you’re looking for in a chain, fast food or not.
Hence the four stars… not so much because I’m in love with CJ’s food, but rather I can count on them providing the same quality experience I’ve come to expect from a good CJ’s.
I’m a fan because I don’t feel bothered by going to eat there when I’m in a rush from work. I’m a fan because I don’t get sick from the food and the place is clean and the staff is nice.
Again… what more can I say? Hours are pretty good and the food is generally better than Jack in the Box or McDonald’s.
