This is the Carl's Jr in Alameda @ Marina Village. I eat here when my vehicle is being worked on next door at the Goodyear shop. The other day I went to try the Western Bacon Crispy Chicken Burger that fellow Yelpers were telling me about. It wasn't on the menu in the dining room. The young lady taking my order said they still serve it. It was only $5.99. I ordered the Combo Meal with Onion Rings (instead of fries). The burger was fairly large and very filling. All the food was fresh. BTW, if you eat in the dining room, the staff will still bring your food to your table. So if you're disabled or have trouble carrying a tray, the staff will bring your order to you. Only the soda is self service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean restrooms and free parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have never been to this location. I do not live nearby and yet my card has been used to make multiple orders, in the app. When I call to cancel these fraudulent orders, some totally $75 dollars, I can never get anyone on the phone. This is ridiculous. Identify theft, fraudulent purchases that keep happening. Customer service is non-existent, corporate has been alerted to no avail. I have the address and phone numbers of the people who have made the purchases, will be reporting them and the restaurant to the local police. read more

Excellent service. Great tasting food.. in incredibly friendly staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Awesome environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Whatever appreciated most about coming here is that it's just a great place to be.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I used to call me more frequently when I was younger, but when Carl's Jr. changed their menu and inflated prices, I stopped coming. However, the wife was craving their burgers into my surprise. Everything menu wise was vastly different. I feel like it's close to returning to it once great prominence even though they haven't returned some of my favorite menu options. RIP Portobello Mushroom Burger. Regardless, I've enjoyed coming back and seeing myself persistently coming here when I'm in the area and craving a good burger. 4/5. read more

Carl's Jr - Single Western Bacon Cheeseburger® - Burgers Near Me - Alameda, California

I bought a bacon, cheese & egg burrito for breakfast this morning from this Carl's Jr in Marina Square. Total price was $6.54, I just knew I was about to get this fat burrito. I opened the bag and the burrito was as small as a Taco Bell $2.99 burrito, which BTW would have tasted better than this over priced product! It seems everyone is trying to rip us off now. The bacon wasn't crispy but partially cooked, the egg tasted like it was not real and the whole thing was bland. My first time getting breakfast at Carl's Jr. Won't do that again and the elderly lady who took my order was somewhat rude! read more

Went here for a quick lunch before an appointment. It still has the green burrito signs so I ordered the 3 chicken taquitos. They didnt look like the picture at all. They were just the frozen ones you get at the grocery store on top of some lettuce and a little bit of toppings. For $8?! I had 2 and gave my daughter the 3rd one. It just tasted like crunchy tortilla chips. read more

I wanted a late night burger so I tried to go to In/Out where there was a incredibly long line. I mean seriously LONG.......I figured there had to be a better way. Did a quick search, checked the hours and rolled up like a rock star. I think I saved 2 hours of my life. read more

Went into the drive through and ordered a medium meal. Went to pay and was told it was 31 dollars. Once I was told that I left said drive through. Will never be returning to Carl's Jr. HOLY COW expensive. read more

The Filipino lady that worked at the window on the night shift is unprofessional, disrespectful, and unsanitary. She wanted to handle food with dirty hands and she had to be told to wash her hands. I can't believe she got offended when asked can she wash her hands before handling the food after handling dirty wires under the table! The Health Department should keep an eye on this location. The owner needs to fire her immediately for the mistreatment of customers and possibly causing harm due to unsanitary food practices. read more

I never got my order. I got a message telling me the driver got there early, so I rushed downstairs. There was no one there. I tried calling them but I couldn't get through. There was no answer. I WANT MY MONEY BACK! NOW!! read more

Why the hell doesn't your $10 chicken sandwich come with lettuce and tomato? That's insane. I have to add $1.50 to this sandwich. It's a $10 sandwiches and it comes with mayo and pickles only. That's just stupid. read more

This is my go to fast food restaurant coz the lovely service they provide. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only their lobby is clean but the staff are so friendly and always smiling as you come in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I've been coming to this Carl's Jr for a long long time. They always have excellent service and the lady that always seems to be working the drive when I come in a alway soooo friendly. She is such a ray of sunshine and the sweetest thing ever! I need to find out her name next time so she gets the props she deserves. I tried the green burrito stuff tonight for the first time. It was excellent! It put Taco Bell to shame! As with the rest of Carl's Jr the food is pricey for fast food, but it is quality! I got the steak green burrito and it was big! So needless to say I ordered way to much food. Also got a crunchy taco which was excellent. And the bean and cheese burrito which was really good and surprisingly big. I'll be getting the green burrito menu from now on (along with the other wonderful menu items). Parking is abundant and it is a very clean well kept restaurant. Wish more fast food joints would get it together like this place. read more

Carl's Jr - Steak green burrito. It was excellent and big! - Burgers Near Me - Alameda, California

I was the only person in drive thru. Ordered a chicken sandwich combo and a burger. $27!!!!???? Are you kidding me. I paid it then got on their menu off 2 websites, one of them being their website. Fried Chicken with bacon and Swiss is $12.50 not $18. I sat there and waited for about 4 minutes at the window to only receive luke warm chicken that was at least 2 hours old and a luke warm burger. Nahhhhh read more

I was craving some fast food Mexican tonight and the Taco Bell nearby was under construction and I remembered this Carls Jr had a Green Burrito attached. I never tired it and thought this would be a good opportunity. Their menu wasn't cheap which to me signaled quality, otherwise how would they still be in business? I went with their namesake item, a steak green burrito, which came to a whopping $14.53 with tax. Must be some great green chili sauce, I thought... When I started eating it I noticed it had practically no green chili sauce and was bland, processed, etc. I circled back around through the drive thru to politely ask for more green chili sauce to help choke this thing down and the lady said "oh you mean the green salsa?" let out a frustrated sigh and begrudgingly gave me a half filled tiny container for my big, bland burrito And what was it? It was hot, it had chunks of hatch chilis... it was totally green chili and not green salsa. There is a difference and I don't expect everyone to know but I would hope the worker here would know what the main ingredient to the whole ass restaurant is. The splash of green chili did little to elevate this trashy ass food. In conclusion, where is the value proposition? Bland, expensive food and snarky, ignorant staff. Kinda hope they all close down, sorry not sorry. Carls Jr ain't bad though read more

Okay, I know you're all gonna laugh and roll your eyes, but this is the best Carl's Jr. I've EVER EATEN AT!!! As a matter of fact, I think it's close to the best fast food restaurant on Planet Earth!!! The burgers are always prepared to perfection, as good as any "no name family burger joint." The variety of food, in a fast food restaurant, is mind-boggling. Six + different variety of 1/2 pound burgers, are you kidding me?!!!! The french fries, around 4-6 different varieties of potatoes prep? 4 different desserts? Milkshakes with whip cream and 4 different flavors. A full Mexican Food menu, with Taquitos, Burriots, Tacos..... A SALSA BAR, with consistently stocked condiments? Are you kidding me? Fresh Pico de Gallo? Hot and spicy pepers? Lemons? Are you kidding me? This is a fast food restaurant!!!! There may be around 12 different beverages at a self-serve fountain, fairly common in places like 7-11 and those types of shops. But in a fast food restaurant, normally about 6 - 8 soft drinks. I don't think I've ever seen this high quality of a Carl's Jr Restaurant, at any other location!!!! Trust me, I've tried. (the one in Newark/Fremont sucks by the way!!!) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! (I haven't even mentioned the breakfast menu!!!) The price is a bit high, but the result is very satisfactory!!!! read more

Carl's Jr - Some people never age.... - Burgers Near Me - Alameda, California

I hardly ever rate a business, but this employee was the worst! Poor attitude. I actually pulled over to comment... 10:02p, I just ordered via the drive-thru. Store open til 1am. Worker was rude, non-chalet, and lazy. Grilled products and a few other options were "not available." When questioned, she gave lame answers that just didn't add up. At the window I found out she actually turned off the grill early! I opted for a strawberry shake. The wait was long ( granted I am the only one in line.) Then the sliding window opened, and she shoved a runny watery pink drink in my face. I asked if it could be remade and she told me "that's what it looks like and that is all I can do." No thank you ma'am! Go get you a job that makes you happy. read more

My breakfast at this local eatery was quite pleasant. My server brought my order out to me. There's only one fastfood place that has that service. She gave me a pleasant start to my morning. Food and coffee, just what I needed. It was a carb overload. Couldn't believe they made this a combo. However, it's Alameda and prices aren't cheap, even for fastfood. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good food, nice ambiance, friendly customer, fast service, clean place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I order a teriyaki burger and it is so good and the employees are very nice. read more

Great place to grab a yummy, fast-food, charbroiled, "gourmet" burger with bacon, teriyaki, avocado, etc along with their breakfast burger which looks like a scrambled egg, burger, bacon and hashbrowns, chicken, fish sandwiches, etc..oh MY! Also, the option to make it a combo with either criss-cut fries (just discovered them!), fried zucchini, onion rings or regular, natural cut fries. This location also has fried fish, chicken or beef tacos and mini salsa bar of pico de gallo, hot sauce, sliced jalapenos. Today, i decided to try the fish tacos and well, yeah...it was fine....wouldn't get again...basically, flour tortilla with a Gorton's beer battered fish with lettuce that came with tortilla chips and beans...I should've known better but eh, it was worth a shot. Great, friendly staff and always clean with tables wiped down and floors spotless. Drive-thru is an option and has a steady stream of cars...convenient and quick read more

This Carl's Jr. is a dual-branded shop that allows you to order from either the standard Carl's Jr. menu, or the Green Burrito menu. Green Burrito is like a slightly more expensive version of Taco Bell. Less selection, but higher quality. There is a little serve-yourself salsa bar. PRO-TIP: Fill out the survey on the back of your receipt and you get a free small fries with your next order. PRO-TIP: Because this place has a serve-yourself salsa bar, you can add those toppings to your Carl's Jr. orders. I love putting extra onions on my burger, and salsa on the cross-cut fries. At this location, Jose is a star employee. He frequently will remember my face and bring my food out to my table in the lobby. Little things like this are rare in the fast food world. Nicely done! read more

The staff here is so unprofessional and condescending. I ordered a burger with no onions & tomatoes because I'm very allergic. The clerk then yelled at the cook and asked for extra onions & extra tomatoes. The girl who took my order had trouble understanding me & she was very slow. The service here is so bad I'm surprised they are still in business. Don't waste your $ here don't contribute to the staff 's ignorance. read more

I'm not a huge fast food fan, but Carl's Jr. has a variety of burgers; chicken sandwiches, taco salads, fish tacos, and their sides are more than just french fries. They sell sweet potato fries and fried zucchini. Their dessert selection is also better than that crusty apple pie from you-know-where. I usually get a famous star burger without cheese, but today I wanted to try something else - the Atlantic cod sandwich. It was pretty good - better than Mickey D's filet of fish (just a square filet of fish with melted cheese and tartar sauce between a bun). Carl's Jr.'s fish sandwich is served on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce. I also like their fried zucchini with ranch dressing. read more

Somewhere during that long-playing performance known as the, "Theater-of-Life," I arrived at the conclusion that I liked the SANTA FE CHICKEN SANDWICH from Carl's Jr. more than any other type of meal. This means, more than bi bim bap, more than a bockwurst from Top Dog's topped with steaming sauerkraut, more than Anaheim chili peppers filled with melted cheddar cheese, and even more than (GASP!!!!!), a slice of deep dish pizza from Zachary's. Now that is saying a lot on behalf of Carl's Jr. MY TWO CARL's Jr. RITUALS. Every other month, I take a 22-mile round trip walk from my Alameda home to the U.C. Berkeley campus and back, and on the way to Berkeley, I always stop at the Carl's Jr. in Alameda and order a Santa Fe Chicken sandwich, with two extra chili peppers. My second ritual is to take the ten mile hike around Lake Chabot and afterwards stop at Carl's Jr. in Alameda and order a Santa Fe Chicken, with two extra chili peppers. This year (2020), walking around Lake Chabot and then stopping at Carl's Jr. has been and continues to be a weekly ritual. DEVOTION TO CARL's Jr. ALL OVER CALIFORNIA. In the past ten years, I have repeatedly ordered the Santa Fe Chicken with two extra chili peppers from Carl's Jr. many times from each of these locations: (1) Alameda Island Carl's Jr. (located near my home in Alameda); (2) Fountain Valley Carl's Jr. on Brookhurst (one block from my apartment); (3) Ridgecrest, CA Carl's Jr.; (4) Carl's Jr. on Twentynine Palms Highway (near Joshua Tree Park); (5) Carl's Jr. in Baker, CA (south of Death Valley); (6) Carl's Jr. in Mission Viejo; (7) Carl's Jr. in the Mira Mesa district of San Diego located on Camino Ruiz (a few miles from my apartment), and (8) From the terminal at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA. read more

Paying $16 for a combo being hungry yes. Paying to be a regular customer no. That fact the burgers are half ass made. Looking at the menu for a double angus beef burger for $20 is absurd. Guess they looking for drunk drivers. The burger is the same as any fast food joint. To be a regular never, once in a blue moon yes read more

Don't know what happened tonight; seemed like the staff had a total meltdown. Took 30 minutes to get the food. During this time, there were 3 other customers (about 2-4 people per group) that were also waiting. You can hear in the back staff talking saying they didn't care if they were fired. Normally not like this. Usually a decent staff with plenty of food. But it seemed like they ran out of everything. There are other options. For 12 dollars for a veggie burger meal...they have to do b read more

The best deal in town is the $5 combo found at this Carl's Jr. I am not sure if other locations offer it or not. There are several options but I always end up getting the three piece chicken tenders with a side of french fries, a chocolate chip cookie and soda. I really don't know how you can beat that. Not usually a big fan of chicken, I find these tenders to be moist and pretty savory. Not on their menu but available if you ask is the chicken stars. I am near obsessed with them. They are the cutest shape and the extra edges really make for more crispy surface area which is key. No matter how much I love these stars, though, the thrifty side of me takes over at lunchtime and makes me order that damn $5 meal because it's just so worth it. I also want to point out that the employees here are super friendly and truly make an effort to create a pleasant experience for customers. read more

Carl's Jr - Burgers Near Me - Alameda, California

Carl. Did you know you were my favorite fast food restaurant growing up? Yes. More than McDonald's or jack or even the infallible in n out... Everything about your burgers was amazing. Loved it. Western? Yes! Swiss bacon? Oh please! Then recently I swung by for old times sake. Carl. What happened. When did you start serving outrageously high prices. Particular the combos now being over $10. I mean really? Fries and drinks and over $3? But hey I can't blame you (this location) for that right? Part of it is up to corporate... Your burgers still taste great. So why the low rating? Carl. Caaaarl. What happened. I went to the drive thru. Nobody was in line. It was just me. I ordered. Paid. Then waited. And waited. And waited. Terribly slow. Incredibly slow. There was nobody in line. No one inside. Did you guys only have 1 staff? I'm waited so long. The whole point of fast food is.. fast food. Thought I had time to grab and go, but really I waited so long. Thought maybe it was just this once but some time later I tried to give you another chance.. and again found myself waiting a long time. I don't know Carl. I don't think I'm being unreasonable. I won't put how many minutes I waited because it would be just so sad.. As much as I love your food... I'm a little scared to go especially if I'm on a schedule. Sorry. read more

Awesome place. Not that full at all. Good service and I've been greeted several times and some already recognize my face. The food is really fresh and got out of the kitchen. The only bad experience I had was when I had those fried zucchinis they tasted like water.....frozen? Otherwise this place is good. read more

I didn't start eating at Carl's Jr. until they started selling the beyond meat burger. Now I have to keep myself from going there every week. This particular location is great. I have never had an issue with my order and they have the nicest employees. The general manager, Elaine, is the friendliest person who can run the front along with the drive thru if need be. I'm always impressed by her courteousness and how efficient she is. She said she's been doing this kind of work for 20 years and it shows! I'm pleased with my food and interactions every time I come here. If you are wanting a hamburger and you on the west side of Alameda then try Carl's Jr. at the marina village. There are so many good places to eat in that shopping center-show a little love! read more

Way too pricey and its not even that good. Although the worker at the drive thru was nice. I wouldn't come back here again.

I give it stars for the service, however it is expensive for what you get. I ordered a chicken burrito and a fish sandwich. I got a beef burrito ($9.00 ) instead of chicken. It was probably two teaspoons of beef, the rest was rice and beans. The fish sandwich was thin and mostly breading and dry ($6.00). I felt cheated. The service was very efficient and polite. read more

Hands down the best Carl's Junior I have been to! I, probably like most, have their "go-to" order for the specific fast food chain they are visiting. For Carl's is the good ole classic Western bacon cheeseburger for me. Well, it suprised me how damn delicious it was! I usually don't yelp fast food chains, but man, I'm telling ya, that sandwich was on point! read more

Came here to pick up some food through the drive-thru. The coke they served had no syrup it was practically water. Tried 2 different sodas and they all lacked syrup. The workers said their CO2 pump was down. Before I could even ask for a refund, the lady shut the window. Terrible experience. read more

This morning I took a trip to Carl's Jr. and I purchase a couple of cookies. Clearly, one of their cookies was dated with the freshness stamp of 11/5/15. With my concern, I called the the restaurant and a lady named Abby answered. I proceeded to tell her what was going on; she then placed me on a brief hold and spoke to the guy that sold me the cookies, she then covered the mouth piece of the receiver so I would not hear what she was saying. However, I heard everything she was telling the guy and that I was not telling the truth and that all their cookies are made fresh all the time. She returned to the telephone and I mentioned to her that I heard everything she said! Here is the picture.... Apparently this store is not sanitized nor use fresh ingredients for their cookies. For the record Abby and dude that sold me the cookies.... I was not lying!! read more
