Carl's Jr - Fast Food Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Credit to the managers here who have hired really great newbies to run the shop and service. They are super polite, very descriptive of the food on offer, they all really know the menu. We stopped of on the way back from a camp trip, we were hugely surprised at the quality of the food, served piping hot, not over cooked and just as we had hoped. We sat in the car and ate before heading home with full tummies! Awesome- highly recommended. read more

HEALTH HAZARD! I'm sorry to be 'that guy' with the all caps warning and one star but I really need to report this. I was just at this Carl's Jr. at 10:15pm this evening, 7/16/2016. While we were waiting for our order, the two cooks in the back were acting unprofessionally which got my attention so I started watching them. I DIRECTLY OBSERVED the younger of the two HANDLING RAW MEAT THEN HANDLING BUNS AND COOKED MEAT. I saw him do this a couple times WITHOUT CHANGING HIS GLOVES. He was touching all kinds of things back there. Equipment, bags, raw & cooked food. He was wearing clear plastic gloves, which he did not change after handling raw meat. He would put the raw burgers into the oven and then walk around to the other side and immediately start building cooked burgers. After the second time I saw him do this, I demanded a refund. He heard me complain about him and he stared me down and said "What's your problem?" I said, "I watched you handle raw meat and cooked food with the same gloves". He said, "How? Are you back here?", I replied, "I stood right there on the side and watched you do it!". I then told him, "You have to care about that stuff! Health and sanitation is everything in your line of work!". He just ignored me. I received my refund but there were no apologies. Only the cook "huffing up" and challenging me. I have several other complaints about this location but I have limited space to write a review. I will say that this place is understaffed and BADLY managed! Maybe it's better during the day? Both bad experiences I've had there were later in the evening. I will be reporting this to the health department. read more

Best service I have ever had at a fast food restaurant. Was asked if everything was to our liking, our tray was bussed away for us and the door opened as we were leaving. Wonderful experience! read more

They didn't give my friend half his food and the two scruffy employees were being impolite in front of costumers.

Awful and unhealthy food. It was very dirty around, smelled badly. Don't go there even if you are very hungry. Phuuu

Excellent Customer Service! Every time I'm in Carpenteria I stop here to eat. The food is excellent as well! Keep up the good work!

This place SUCKS. All the trash cans were full, lines were out the door, understaffed. The fryer was broken and they cancelled our order and said nothing. After 20 minutes waiting we had to go get our money back and leave. read more

I was very disappointed in how long it took to get my food and the meal came short of food I paid for. I would expect more from a carls jr of this quality read more

Food was normal food for Carl's. I do like the food. But the service was friendly. So the only person on duty was busting his ass. I understand that times are tough and we all have to save money, but let's get another employee in the building. read more

Stopped here on our way back from Santa Barbara. Burger and fries were fresh and hot. Staff was courteous. Restaurant was clean and had plenty of seating. Decent fast food restaurant. read more

Stopped on the way to Los Angeles for dinner on a Friday night for a quick bite. The service was okay but the food quality was terrible. I ordered a burger combo with crosscut fries. The burger tasted like paper and the meet was far from fresh. The fries were average though. Need to focus on improving food quality or they won't stay in business much longer. read more

A callout to Stephen who worked the breakfast shift today. If more fast food employees were like him, I'd eat at them a lot more.

IWent here for lunch break verry bad choice. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich with crosscut fries. First I was kinda hesitant about getting this sandwich in the first place because I had gotten salmonella poisoning a couple years back and I'm pretty sure it was from the same sandwich different location. So I got my order took the first bite of the sandwich it was like I was chewing on a tire so I told one of the workers there about it she asked me if I wanted the same sandwich I said no, she still came back with the same sandwich so I tried it this next one was still cold in the middle!!!!!!!!!!.i was starting to have flash backs of being sick.so I decided to go to the manager to get my money back never going back again............... read more

Does not follow their posted hours. Due to some sickness in the family we ended up driving home instead of going to the family thanksgiving. My wife looked up places that were open on thanks giving and called (it was 4pm) this particular Carl's Jr. They said they closed at 5pm and would be locking the doors at 4:45pm. We got there at 4:25 only to be told we had to take our food to go and that they were closing at 4:30 pm. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me at this location and I will not return. Overall, the staff seemed rude and unapologetic. We left with no food since we needed to sit down with the kids to eat. read more

I have eaten here many times before and the tables and floor are always sticky. It is an unpleasant eating environment and I wouldn't recommend dining in because of the uncleanliness. read more

Nicest staff I've ever met! Jesus the manager was especially great. He was so sweet and professional. I had a burger with a bad onion ring in it, and he brought us a large order of onion rings just because. I would come back again with my family because Jesus was so wonderful! read more

Where the heck is this place?? After living in Carp for about a year I finally decided to give good ol CJ's a shot. I always saw it from the freeway and knew where it was located. I turned on Carp Ave and couldn't find the entrance. It finds out you have to either go through the nursery parking lot or take the 101 S ramp to get there WTF??!? After finally arriving I find that there is no drive thru!! So I go in to order and the place is a zoo! On top of that the wait was ridiculous! I mean 10 minutes for a to-go meal?? Isn't this supposed to be fast food?!?! So I finally get called and get home all excited to eat and I have someone else's food!! I had to go back and they said oh the girl is new and didn't mean to give you the food.So I wait another 5 mins and finally get my nasty gross meal. It tasted like it was a day old and I had the worst stomach pain for the next 3 hours! Not to mention I had this around 10pm! I will never recommend this joint or go here again. This place is a disgrace to all CJ's out there!! read more

The employees were SO nice!!! Outstanding customer service. Opened the door for me, took my trash and almost every employee came by to ask if we were doing okay. I wish every fast good place was this nice! read more

I usually reserve my yelp reviews for the positive experiences, as I feel that there is enough negativity in this world. However, my experience at this location was so terrible that I decided it was necessary to inform others. After being stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for four hours, my husband and I found it necessary to stop at this Carl's Jr. location for a much needed break. Although it is located in a seemingly nice area off the 101 freeway, the location was filthy and seemed to only employ "riff-raff". The employees were void of all human qualities and wandered around like zombies. They were incapable of making eye contact or treating customers like human beings. I thought it may have been just a one time experience, however in observing their interactions with other customers, the service was just as horrible. I felt as if I were burdening the cashier. The lobby looked as if it had not been checked on in hours and it took almost 15 minutes of waiting in this filthy lobby for our order number to be called. My husband walked up to pick up our food as I followed to return the order number card and he was questioned and glared at by the employee for not returning the order number that I had in hand. The employee then shoved the bag of food at him and stormed away. I will never stop at this location ever again, I would rather starve until I reach my destination than stop at this dump for convenience sake. read more

Nicholas was super sweet and helpful at the front counter. If it weren't for him, we would've walked out sooner. We got there 40 minutes before closing time- we waited nearly 20 minutes for two burgers and one fry. We had several people before and after us. Nicholas kept asking the cooks if they needed help but they declined. Slow service- the cooks spilled food and dishes all over the kitchen. We got a refund along with an incorrect order. Super disappointed. read more

Arrived on a Sunday night at 10:53 PM and was denied service even though their sign said they were open until 11:00 PM. We left hungry with no where to eat dinner even though we arrived well before closing time. Employee made a rude gesture at us and ignored our request to enter the store. Stay away from this store and eat anywhere else in Carpinteria. read more

Super nice staff and clean bathrooms! Very friendly manager who went around and greeted everyone and checked if their food was alright.
