    Cali Burger and Strawberry Lemonade about $11 a bargain for the mid point of I5 between LA and the Bay Area
    Joseph A.

    My 2nd time here in the month of February. It's not super busy so the bathroom is easy to access, lots of parking, and a clean comfortable Store. As for the food, ordered a Cali XL, and Lemonade on both visits. Walked in moments after ordering via the mobile application and my order was ready and bagged. In my opinion this is not a good thing, because in both visits the lettuce was not edible so I'm guessing it was cooked ages ago, and or the lettuce stocked is of horrible quality. I liked the pricing, and idea of the items selected, but I will going forward avoid this location, and if eating at this chain customize my burger so it might be freshly composed.

    I love Carl's Jr, but the service here is pretty bad, the front lady there is not friendly and ignores your existence. We ordered a burger online and were waiting there for a while. We saw an order ready and left on the ready shelf for about 5-10 minutes while standing in-front of her, but the lady only picked up new orders until we asked her and she said, "oh yeah, here." No smile & no apology given. If we didn't ask, not sure if she is ever going to announce the order. It wasn't busy in the store at all. While we were leaving, I heard the someone asked her 2 times, "did you say the order is ready?" Then we left. Not sure if it was regarding to our order or not, but if it was, good for him to notice that. The burger is ok, not bad.

    Clean location

    Great staff !! Friendly and you could see the team effort when it was packed with people. Clean bathrooms clean place. Thanks ladies !!

    It was late night and time for a quick break during a road trip. Their zucchini chips were nice and hot but a bit on the soft soggy side ( maybe all that oil) lol Sandwich was ok too. The location is convenient as it's right off the freeway.

    This location is allowing indoor and outdoor patio dining. They do require masks until you sit down at your table to eat. As soon as we ordered our food and sat down our food was hot and ready quickly. Everything from our hot fries to the burgers and chicken tenders were perfectly made and very delicious. With a car full of hungry people we appreciated this fast friendly service so we could get back on the road quickly. My only complaint at this location was the amount of flies in the restaurant near the window seats. We had to move to a another table away from the windows.

    Stopped by on my way home from SoCal. The bathrooms were pretty clean and the staff were very nice. There's plenty of parking and they also have drive thru. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. I only ordered a cookies and cream shake, which I wish was a bit thinker but overall it was good.

    Beyond famous star w/o cheese or mayo

    Stopped by for something quick but were kind of surprised at the price. The beyond famous star - meatless burger was $9.29 just for the burger alone. 2 burgers came to $21 lol In comparison, we've had the impossible whopper before and it's about $6.99 for the burger and it's honestly a lot better than this beyond famous star. It wasn't really bad, but it wasn't great. It was ok. I think it would be better with sliced pickles instead of relish and seasoning on the patty. Would also be nice if it were put together with slightly more care, because it looked like it was thrown together - sloppy. I realize this is a fast food chain but still...there was no other customers inside or behind us in the drive-thru so it's not like they had a rush. I'd give it a 2.5 and don't think we'd get it again unless it were the absolute only option.

    We stopped in on our way back from the Bay area. We had a short wait for our meal. The burger was ok but even though we had a wait the food wasn't very hot. They need to pay attention to the bathroom conditions especially. The employees were nice.

    This is what they SAY it's going to look like.

    Stopped in for a quick bite on our way to SoCal. Fast food seems to be going downhill. ESPECIALLY HERE! Service was okay, a little slow, bit oh well. Food wasn't very hot and the burger was as sloppy as can be. Look at the two pictures for comparison. I wanted to get back on the road so I ate it. The fries were not hot either. I Don't think I would stop here again. Fast food is EXPENSIVE now days - They need to add some quality into the equation.

    I wish this picture can show how old and dry the meat was. The cheese wasn't even melted. Don't waste your time stopping. Should've listened to the reviews.

    *Vegetarian 30-Day Challenge Bonus Review* Figuring out what's healthy to eat while on a road trip is already tough enough, but the difficulty factor goes up when trying to maintain a vegan lifestyle. So big-ups to Carl's, Jr.® for now offering a Beyond Famous Star® burger* as part of their fast food lineup! The burger is 100% vegan along with their delicious criss-cut fries™ and fried zucchini―which are also vegan! We both enjoyed eating it and Carissa really felt like it tasted like a legit fast food burger, while I thought it reminded me of a Morningstar® veggie burger. Carl's will now be our new unofficial road stop standard and they should be commended for their vegan food effort―while McShitz™ should be ashamed of their paltry vegetarian selection. Even their famous fries aren't vegetarian, as they add some kind of beef product to them. *burger must be ordered sans cheese and mayo in order to be truly vegan.

    Harris Ranch: My Mandatory I-5 Stop…read more I've been stopping at Harris Ranch for years whenever I drive between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Now that I drive an EV, this place makes even more sense. Charge the car, stretch your legs, and get a serious steak before getting back on I-5. You also know you're getting close before you even see the sign. You can smell the countryside. And by "countryside," I mean cows. Lots of cows. For steak, I usually go big. Porterhouse, Ribeye, Prime Rib - I don't come to Harris Ranch to order a tiny piece of beef. What keeps bringing me back is consistency. The beef is excellent, the seasoning doesn't try to overpower it, and the kitchen is remarkably accurate with temperature. Rare is rare. Medium rare is medium rare. Medium is medium. After many visits over many years, that kind of repeatability gets my attention. The Ribeye is especially worth mentioning. On the larger cuts I've ordered, they preserve a generous ribeye cap instead of trimming away the best part. If you're a ribeye person, you already know. There is also a second stage to my Harris Ranch routine. Before leaving, I stop at Harris BBQ by the travel center and buy brisket for the road. Their brisket has a Texas BBQ influence but its own California personality. The cuts are big and thick, with dark bark, a visible smoke ring and plenty of smoked-beef flavor. The sauces and sides are different from what I normally associate with Texas BBQ - cornbread, jalapeño flavors and a little California mixed into the system - but it works. So after all these years, my Harris Ranch road-trip SOP is pretty simple: Charge the EV. Eat a big steak. Buy brisket for the road. Continue to San Francisco or Los Angeles. Service has always been friendly, and most importantly, the food has been remarkably consistent from visit to visit. Dr. C - I-5 Field Inspection Beef Quality: PASS Doneness Control: PASS Ribeye Cap Retention: PASS Brisket Smoke Process: PASS Process Repeatability: PASS Country Aroma: EXTREMELY AUTHENTIC Final QC: 5/5 - Approved for Continued Operation.

Literally an oasis! It even has a Tesla charging and gas station. Finally, something to see, a small store with a Harris Ranch meat counter and baked goods, treats for the kids and a chance to stretch your legs!! Clean restrooms in a traditional tiled ceramic floors decor to pictures of one of my favorite animals, horses! Looked forward to breakfast and was pleasantly surprised a a very comprehensive menu, I'm glad we made it in time for breakfast because I really enjoyed the corned beef hash and eggs with Pico De Gallo the only way to eat it, even had more meat than potatoes, nicely seasoned. Becca over the top great service! That's everything isn't it, especially these days with higher prices, if I'm going to pay, I hope the service meets the prices. In this case very good overall service. In store and restaurant. I included both menus since they only serve breakfast until a certain time. Picked up some Harris Ranch beef jerky, BBQ sauce and hard candies imported from Germany I(I think) Next, back on 5 next stop Gilroy from what I understand the Garlic growing capital. I love garlic so we have to stop:-)

    Always the BEST rest stop driving down to SoCal! Open 24 hours!! Best tacos and burritos with ALL…read moreTHE MEATS!!! They have the usual proteins but they also have: Chicharon - my favorite Buche Lengua Asada Cabeza Chorizo Barbacoa Near gas stations and they have clean bathrooms. Must stop here.

    Do you own a dog? Then this is possibly your only viable location to stop that has actual grass…read more Everywhere else has wood chips or artificial grass. I've been interested in eating here for about a year. For about a year, we have been making Dunkin Donuts our mid-point stop on our way to the beach. Both to and from. That's because we always bring our dog with us. Plus my youngest always needs to "go" before we reach our destination.. Idk why I posted only this, but there's much more to talk about. Today, we pushed ourselves further than we should have and are in desperate need of food. The majority want Mexican, so I suggest Chalio's. There are other Mexican restaurants, but this one is in the main area and looks the most maintained. Looks can be deceiving though. Maybe at one time this was a decent sit down restaurant. Now it looks pretty run down. The restrooms are the most telling. I don't think anyone really cleans them. Probably just restocks them. The trash cans were overfilled, and the menu has also been taken over by bright paper covering old menu items and advertising new. Considering the size of Kettleman, this is par for the course, sadly. But the food. The food is great. We got the birria tacos and asada fries because they were out of nachos. What was supposed to be a quick to-go stop turned into a sit down because the kids asada fries took so long. I didn't mind. I was driving and needed time to eat. The birria tacos themselves were just OK in my opinion. Nothing a few squeezes of lemon wouldn't fix. But my friend from Ghana who traveled with us was blown away. He got the regular tacos, which have become his favorite food here in California. I guess if you've never had birria tacos before, these would be good. His eyes widened from his one bite, so it looked like he was experiencing something spiritual lol. If you're looking for clean restrooms and good Mexican food, park at Dunkin, do what you need to do, and walk over
