Probably the best location I’ve ever been to. The produce was super fresh and amazing I was very pleasantly surprised. Keep doing that you guys are awesome! Ppl leaving bad reviews for having to wait is a shame. You want it fast or you want it made right? Ppl are ridiculous this place knows what’s up.

This has to be the worst Carl’s Jr. In the area. Every single time I order the belt ranch burger the put chicken sandwich. I always have to check at the window to correct them. I did that today and I still ended up with a damn chicken sandwich. Let time I make the mistake of eating at this location!!!

The drive thru line was long but they were busting it out. Our food was hot, tasty and our order was correct. If you pay with your card it’s not contactless… They have a new burger, I think it’s called the bacon beast. You can never go wrong with a superstar with cheese.

The person who made my food was clearly in a bad mood my food was undercooked and way to mych mayo and is so expensive for fast food ill.

The people were very nice. Too bad that was the end of the positive part of our experience… the food was not good at all. The burgers tasted overdone. The fries were cold. Nothing tasted fresh… at all… we requested a couple of the burgers be a little customized. These requests were accepted at the register, but the burgers were not made as requested. Old gross food is not how you get repeat customers. We will not be back… our first and last visit to this location.

I got the Primal burger from this location, and the bbq sauce on the burger was so salty that I had to spit the burger out, as in ocean level salty. And I know that’s not how the burger is supposed to taste since I’ve been to other locations and had the burger there. I had to throw away the almost $10 burger because of this. Plus when I asked for ranch dressing for the chicken sandwich that I also ordered, it wasn’t a bad sandwich, they said that they didn’t have any. I’m definitely not going back to this location.
