    2025 SEPT 21 It's been years since I had Carl's Jr. last time Carl's Jr was at Pearl ridge and I regret not buying from here when they were at Pearlridge. Downloaded the app and did mobile order: California double burger large with Fries Onion rings Jalapeño poppers (9) Pros -Food was fresh to order Mobile app and was able to redeem the -jalapeño poppers for free -fries reminded me of wendy/BK -Burger was so good jsut needed onions & reminded me of BK. Parties were flame broiled -Friendly lady -Fast service -Enough parking for an in/out order -plenty of options even tho the menu is so simple!!! Cons -Far if you wanted to eat this and live in the west side it's a far drive just to crave Carl's Jr -No drive thru -Seems like other Carl's Jr locations are late night open or 24/7. Unfortunately this is Hawaii and no late night munchies hours. They close at 8PM -Share with a gas station (but this can be good) if you need gas too Overall 10/10 would come here again if I'm near the area!!! I gotta try the guac burger next time

    Don't laugh, but it was my first time eating at Carl's Jr. and the food was so good. Who would have thought as this place is located in a gas station. We ordered a Double Big Carl $9.59 and a Teriyaki Combo $13.69. The combo came with a side and drink. I chose onion rings. They give you a cup and you can get your own fountain drink. I got the sweetened green tea. Their burgers are so good. It's much better than other fast food places. Their burgers are also a decent size. Their teriyaki sauce was delicious and they even put a slice of pineapple in the burger. The onion rings were also very good. It was crispy and they use the whole onion slice. I can't stand minced onions in onion rings.

    Don't shy away from its shabby gas station appearance. There is bar seating and the food is tasty, hot and good! I got a cheeseburger, onion rings and fries. Employees were chill too.

    Fried Zucchini!!! Sadly I've been out of the loop and couldn't believe they're out of fried zucchini which is the thing that I always get at Carl's Jr and apparently there's a shortage...I dunno but I was sad lol! This location part of the gas station food mart and is the only surviving Car's Jr on the island and though express isn't the word for it as it shares half the space with the mart but I'm so grateful that's it's still here. With a full menu board it offers all items like any Carl's Jr including Star Deals which are their value items and Star Pals or the kids meal. Their burgers and to say it's pricy I would disagree with the quality they serve in comparison to other fast food and the toppings are very generous and it was the Jalapeño Angus Burger for me the single 1/3lb medium combo which is $14.99 which comes with fries (regular or waffle cut) and drink. You're able to dine in and enjoy your burger which is a nice option they do have a counter with six high stools and serving Coke products the choices of a dozen drinks is quite impressive and I usually don't drink soda I decided on Ginger Ale. The service here is just so nice and friendly with fast service keeping every thing neat and clean this location is not to be missed to have a great charbroiled burgers and with the option to fill up on gas is something pretty cool! Thank you!

    Advertised vs. my order. Disappointing.

    I don't know why it took me so long to figure out I can put gas in my car while I waited for a food order. Oh wait, I remember; I don't know how to fill gas properly and and let me tell you, again, Carl's Jr. Is the best when it comes to burgers and sides! Food prices are competitive, actually better bc the quality of the food and the staff is better than the other guys. I don't mind paying for a quality product. Gas is $4.59/gal for regular. Cheaper than the other guys, too. Really busy early morning on weekdays.

    Perfectly wrapped, hot, juicy, breakfast burger

    Best Carl's Jr. in the world! I usually drop in for a breakfast burger and cup of Lion coffee. The people working here are always friendly. Even more important, the food always, always comes out hot and looking like it does in the pictures. This is one of the few fast food restaurants that takes pride in their work. Every time I come here, the wrapping on the burgers is flawless...good indicator of what you are about to eat. Thanks, please don't ever change.

    The last time I had Carl's Jr. was when they had a store in Pearlridge. I was a bit skeptical as it's combined with a gas station but that didn't stop us from trying. Once you enter you'll see a half gas station and half fast food joint which is pretty cool. We ordered a few things to try it out since were usually not in the area. I ordered the western bacon burger ($6.59) onion rings ($3.69) waffle fries ($3.69) and 2 piece chick tenders ($6.39). It was not just at all as far as the food section. A lot of customers came to get gas/things from the gas station. Food was ready quick. The bag was super hot so you know the food was fresh. We tried the waffle fries first and boy was it good. Next was the onion rings and it beat my expectation. Crispy on the outside with a soft onion inside. The burger was pretty good and bacon was crispy. Chicken tenders were probably my fave but 2 for $6 is a bit pricey. It is more on the expensive side when it comes to fast food restaurant but they do provide different combos and sides which makes you forget about the price tag. Food is freshly made and there are a few sitting areas if you plan on dining in.

    Talk about lunch break stop here! Food is good here. Fast service and you can eat here as well and get your gas as well. Lots of burgers you can choose from also.

    Cheeseburger in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... I actually was trying to get a free coffee (for T-Mobile customers) from Circle K which shares this location with Carl's Jr. Since I wasn't able to get a free coffee, I thought that I should get something from Carl's Jr. Located on Nimitz Highway, I entered from the back on Puuhale Place. It's safer and less busy. Service from Angie was super excellent! She noticed that I looked confused and asked if I needed help. I told her that I wanted the free coffee from T-Mobile and Circle K, but there's a Carl's Jr. here! Haha! I decided to get a #1: Famous Star with cheese (cheeseburger). Angie said that's her favorite. LOL! I was downloading the app for Rewards when Angie gave me some coupons. She said to come back and visit her on Wednesday or Sunday because she's a part-time worker. Okay! The Famous Star was quite good! I liked the fresh lettuce, onion, and tomato. The ketchup and mayo made it messy, but tasty. The char-broiled flavor was a winner! I guess I will be returning this month since the coupons expire on 10-29-22! Hee hee!

Along with two other people waiting for takeout, there were also about five parties dining in still waiting for their food. I ended up receiving my order at 1:57 PM. For a single burger, that felt like a pretty long wait -- especially after already waiting inside the restaurant for around 20 minutes with no updates. If an order is given a pickup time, it should ideally be ready or close to ready by then. That was definitely the biggest downside of the experience. The burger itself was good, though not quite worth the 40-45 minute wait overall. I ordered the Umami Wagyu Cheeseburger. It had good flavor, but it was pretty messy, and honestly, I couldn't really tell much of a difference from regular beef. I'm not sure the "wagyu" aspect added much for me personally. I'm usually a very patient person, but this experience left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. I can only imagine how long the dine-in customers were waiting. I'm glad I had the chance to try it, but I'm not sure if I'd come back.

Fries were also golden brown and super crispy--didn't even need sauce or ketchup. We also picked up a couple guava cheesecakes and pumpkin crunch, which didn't disappoint. We came on a Saturday and there were a few people in front of us, but the food came out super fast. We also witnessed the new mural being painted across their wall, which is a work of art in itself. Sorry, didn't get too many good photos because I ate before my camera did (and didn't even get a picture of my dessert).

You can tell they take pride in their establishment. Now here's my one (very passionate) request: as a sandwich spot, I would LOVE to see a true NYC bodega style chopped cheese added to the menu. Ever since my trip to New York City, I've been reminiscing about those chopped cheese sandwiches nonstop. There's just something different about them. It honestly surprises me that on the island we can find cheesesteaks everywhere, but not a single place offering a legit chopped cheese! If you guys ever decide to add a proper chopped cheese to the lineup, I promise I'd be a weekly regular without hesitation. I know I'm not the only one who would appreciate it! Until then, I'll definitely be back for another Earl's Cheesesteak. Solid food, clean atmosphere, and great service. Keep it up, and please consider bringing a chopped cheese to the island!

I'm not going to lie, the wait time for the food is extremely long for just burgers and fries--took more than 30 minutes--but please keep in mind this is a small business. I think there were only 2 or 3 people working, an auntie, uncle, and a younger guy who I believe was cooking. The food looked so beautiful but everything was too salty and the patties were way too charred, which I'm hoping was a one off thing. I did DM them on social media shortly after picking up our order and they said it was an off day. They offered for me to come back one day so they can make things right, but I don't know if I'll have the time to swing by anytime soon. I truly hope this business does well, they are the sweetest people I've met in the last few months, and I wish them nothing but the best. I hope others have a better experience than I did. I mean look at how beautiful their burgers are!
