    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.

    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.

    We stopped at the McDonald's in Coalinga, CA and ordered through the app. I'll give credit where…read moreit's due -- the app was easy to use and made ordering simple. That part worked smoothly. Our food actually came out pretty decent. It was hot, tasted fresh, and was put together better than I expected considering how busy it was. The kitchen seemed to be holding it together. But the front of the store? That was rough. The dining area looked like it had been hit by a hurricane. Tables weren't cleaned, trash was building up, and the straw/soda station was sticky and messy. There were a lot of people standing around trying to order. The manager was loudly telling customers they wouldn't be served for a while and should just use the kiosks. That didn't exactly calm the crowd. There was confusion, frustration, and a pretty tense atmosphere overall. Bottom line -- good food and an easy app experience, but the front-of-house operations and cleanliness need serious attention. With better organization and some basic cleaning, this place could be a lot better.

    Two road trips back to back, and have stopped at this McDonald's on both occasions. On both…read moreoccasions, we went through the drive-thru, then were advised to wait at one of the numbered spots. The first time, it was midday and busy. We waited over 30 minutes for our order. Eventually, I went in and asked for a refund because 30 minutes is too long to wait for a drive-thru order from a "fast food" establishment. Today, there was literally no one in the drive-thru line, so we figured it would be okay since it's the only place to stop. Also, I hopped out of the car to run inside to use the restroom and there was hardly anyone inside either. Well, we were wrong. Same story. Went through the drive-thru and were told to wait at spot number 1 for our order. After 10 minutes, and after 2 other cars parked next to us got their orders and left, we figured we should go ask for an update on our order. They claimed they had already given us our order already, which was curious since we didn't have it. They gave our order to another car parked in a different numbered spot. They didn't apologize at any point for the mistake. We asked for a refund and left. It's really unfortunate because McDonald's breakfast might be the only fast food indulgence I'll allow myself while on a roadtrip.Their fresh hot hashbrown are my favorite but after experiences like this, it's highly unlikely I'll return.

    3.5 stars. Best advice from fellow Yelpers, call ahead to…read moreplace your order! We arrived at 3pm and there's a line. So I guess they don't operate like normal restaurant hours, better to assume that they are busy all the time. When I called, they asked how soon I'll be here as they have a line. I told them I'm 20 minutes away and when I arrived food was ready. Upon arrival, I just needed to go to the cashier line and pay. So that was nice. The call quality could vary, so I'd advice to keep your order simple and familiarize yourself with their menu. They were in their own building, right next to the Shell gas station. You can eat outside as there's no seating inside. There's a big TV outside. It can be super hot and stuffy eating outside in summer, despite the fact that they have fans and cold mists. We were roasted in there sweating and watching FIFA game while eating. The restroom has AC and is clean and comfortable. We ordered half a pound of brisket main and a pulled pork sandwich. I asked to put all the sauces aside. The Pulled Pork Sandwich looks like a burger as it comes with burger bread but it's loaded with a thick layer of pulled pork in the middle. That's it though, no veggie, no other things, just bread and pulled pork. The pulled pork is already soaked in BBQ sauce, so there's nothing more needed to add to it. It tasted slightly spicy from the BBQ sauce, meat is super soft. The brisket was shockingly little, I couldn't believe one slice is half a pound and that's over 18 bucks! A pound is $30. The meat is super soft, one touch and the fibers fall apart. I wish they put more salt on when they BBQ, coz then naturally it'll be flavorful enough and don't need the BBQ sauce. The texture is fatty and softy enough. The mac and cheese is not bad, the cheese sauce is slightly over as the mac were like swimming in them. Overall a nice and quick stop to get some descent quality food. A nice alternative to gas station hot deli.

    Quick grab n go service! I was nearby at a charging station for my car and noticed Harris BBQ! I…read morebelieve that they have a restaurant on the side but we were on the way to the Bay and were in a rush. They have an order and grab service inside the Shell station. If you're hungry, this place serves better food compared to the fast foods down the street. Food: 4oz Brisket (4.3/10): This one was a little bit better than the sandwich we got. We saw that they put out a new brisket on the cutting block and we were tempted by it. It was super tender but still lacked flavor. We asked for the side of barbecue sauce and it helped with the flavor a little. It lacked a smoky flavor. Santa Maria Tri-Tip Sandwich (5/10): Ordering was pretty easy. There's a menu displayed on the top and they slice the meats right in front of you! Unfortunately, this sandwich fell a little short for me. The bread was drenched in barbecue sauce and there wasn't much flavor in the tri-tip itself.
