Carl’s Jr. Review
The restaurant ambiance is your typical fast food chain. The atmosphere is family friendly. They also have drive-thru service in case you’re in a hurry.
The buns on their burgers are kind of sweet but not really that overpowering. Charbroiled patties tend to be bit tough but they’re juicy. The aioli, ketchup, and mustard blend is just right.
The char broiled sliders tops the recommended menu options with the Big Carl and the six dollar Thickburger following suit. Side options like onion rings and fries are worth mentioning.
Customer service in Carl’s Jr. is generally great – some locations need improvement. However, they do get your order out in minutes so that’s a plus.
