My husband's famous star burger was soggy (tomatoe and lettuce were not fresh at all.) My guacamole bacon burger missed guacamole! This was our 3rd visit to this location and it always disappoints. We will not be going back after this time. read more

This has become a regular biweekly stop for my husband and me. We always receive great service from the manager and the young team members -- you can tell the leadership is strong by the way the staff responds to her. Today we met Sébastien, a new team member, and what a great first impression! He greeted us with a big smile and was so polite. He even thanked us for coming in. If you're looking for a place where you're treated with genuine kindness and service with a smile, come to Carl's in King City. Highly recommende. Great job Sébastien. read more

Pros: Food was ready fast. App was very easy to order. Had some good deals. Cons: Burger patties have gotten smaller and burgers had too much sauce. The taste of the burger was dominated by soo much mayonnaise and ketchup. Burger was too wet and was cold. Overall, 2.5 stars although can definitely be 5 stars if improvements are made. read more

I thought it'd just be another normal carl's jr but i was quite shocked and blown away specifically by the service they provided. Upon entering, we were greeted by the workers and while we were dining, a worker came up and asked us how we were doing and if we needed anything. I almost forgot I was at a fast food restaurant because it felt like a sit-down restaurant. The food was pretty standard but quite fresh. They doing something right here. read more

I was traveling to Winter Park and stopped here for a rest. When I was ordering my burger, asked if I could get extra lettuce and no bun. Angel help me by suggesting a lettuce wrap burger. I Appreciate employees that offer things that we're not sure with the menu. Friendly as well. I forgot to ask for french fries and they were able to get them on the fly. Make sure you appreciate the employees working at this location they were all friendly and helpful!! read more

There must be a national shortage on napkins because they keep them behind the counter and only gave me two when I had to go back and ask for them. This amount is supposed to be for four people. So I went back and said that there are four people in our group. They only gave me two more! This place is horrible. The food quality and size for the amount paid was crazy. The bathrooms were also really gross. read more

Uh, just had the oldest experience ever in the drive thru. It's about 8:10 pm, we pull in they say "just a minute" we say "we'll need a minute". Then when it is time to order they say they're closed. "Yeah, we close at 8" they said. But they had customers inside and served the guy after us. It was super strange and honestly no idea what or why. Very strange. read more

Came to eat here with my family on the way to San Francisco and appreciated the customer service greatly. The manager, Laura Vera, was extremely hospitable. The food was very good especially the fries--the best I've ever had from Carl's. The restaurant was very clean. Nice place to stop. read more

I went in wanting to order to go and I was kicked out saying dine in was closed even though I was not dining in I just wanted to order for takeout. the door was open I did not see no closed sign yet I was kicked out 0/10 read more

We have stopped at this location on road trips numerous times over the years. The lot is a little small but you can usually get a spot. The staff is usually friendly. Service speed does vary like at any fast food place. The food quality has always been ok on our visits. Their toilets are reasonably clean. Keep in mind that for Yelp, 2-3 stars is good for fast food, under 2 stars avoid that location, and over 3 stars is rare. We recommend giving these guys a try. They are just as good if not better than the many other fast food restaurants at this exit and the other near by towns. read more

Excruciatingly long wait in the drive through. Not a long line. Just not moving for 20 minutes. When you're on a long drive, efficient stops are everything. Watching the minutes tick by was torture. After all that, my husband said there was something wrong with his chicken sandwich and tossed it. Fried zucchini was good. Close to freeway. Probably wouldn't come back because of the wait, though. read more

Great service, friendly staff, good food. Great place to stop off the hwy. Delicious chicken tenders.

I have never been to a worst Carl's Jr in my life. It took repeating our order 4 times at the window and we only got 3 things. They could not understand English at all which I can be patient with but after the 4tg time it was frustrating. The receipt had all the food rang up correctly but we got wrong items on 2 of our orders. We had them remake they order after going inside and showing them what was wrong. They then made us the worst possible burgers in history. It took me 5 napkins just to get enough of the sauce off my burger to eat. It was literally swimming. My wife's burger was cold and the jalapeno poppers were also cold. The sprite was out of syrup so we got bitter soda water. We then asked for a refund because we didn't eat anything and after 5 minutes the manager Laura Vera finally came out and informed us they have a no refund policy on all food. She pointed to a small posted sign that they had clearly printed themselves. Not even visible to drive thur customers. Barely visible to counter customers. I'm attaching a photo of the sign. Do not go to this location. They are a franchise that doesn't care and they are not run by Carl's Jr corporate according to the sign on the wall. read more

Even in this stage of recovery. They should put a decent amount of chili on their fiesta chicken sandwich. Just unacceptable really. read more

Carl's Jr - Fiesta chicken sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - King City, California

The way that this Carl's Jr is ran puts all other fast food chains to shame and here's why: Right away, once we walked in we were greeted by the manager. He was a bit busy at the moment, but still made the effort to tell us and others in queue that "we will be right with you" and they certainly were. Another register was opened almost immediately to move people along. When ordering, the cashier was friendly. She seemed genuinely enthused to be working...yes, really. Upon confirming that we would be eating in house, she handed us a placard to post at our table because... They bring all your food to you! As for the meal itself. Standard burger and fries, but the ingredients did seem fresher than most. Nice, hearty slices of beef tomatoes, crisp lettuce leaves... Pretty good fast food experience...especially for one that isn't in-n-out. read more

I love it the food is so good yes.the food is absolutely so delicious the wait sucks tho but it's ok I love the food.

This Carl's is not consistent. Sometimes great, sometimes just so-so. Service is notoriously slow. Staff sometimes unprofessional...but "mean well". Better training could help. The place is fairly clean and the food is pretty good. read more

This Carl's Jr is just off the East side of the 101 Freeway in a little shopping center with a Safeway grocery store and a CVS drug store. It is very convenient as you can access it off either the Canal Street exit or the Broadway Street exit. II've been trying to eat healthy lately, which means I've been avoiding fast food drive throughs like the plague. Unfortunately, when I'm making the long drive from Bakersfield to Monterey or back, I'm usually trying to keep to a schedule and don't have time to stop at a sit down restaurant for a meal. Carl's Jr seems to be one of my best bets for picking up a healthy meal on the road. Did you know that they will serve any of their chicken sandwiches as a lettuce wrap? This is a great alternative to a gluten and carb laden bun. I usually get the charbroiled BBQ sandwich as a lettuce wrap and ask for light barbecue sauce. The sandwich comes wrapped in thick layers of fresh crisp lettuce, and is wrapped in paper so that it is easy to hold and eat in the car, even while driving. I've never had a bad experience at this location, though I've only used their drive through and never been inside. read more

I ordered through door dash and the food came quickly but, I got a famous star without lettuce and it came to me lettuce wrapped. Legit my grandma couldn't eat it. Im so upset because it was supposed to be a treat for her but it was terrible. read more

You know how you see these GREAT Burgers in T.V. commercials then when you go to the fast food restaurant you get a burger that looks flat and half the size... This is, surprisingly, not the case with this Carl's' Jr. The burgers are BIG !!! They look just the way they do in commercials. As someone who drives between L.A. and San Francisco a lot, King City is one of those in-between stops for gas and to taken a moment. Since it opened I have also grabbed a latte' at the King City Starbucks -- which is also Very Good. But, this Carl's Jr was (and is) a surprise. I just happened onto it one day and it is GREAT !!! Recommended !!! Check out a Super Star with Cheese Combo. That's what I always go for... read more

I would give it zero if I could! I've been to other Carl Jrs in the past but never been to one who had just bad customer service and made you wait so long! I went through the drive through and after paying they told me not asked to go wait in the parking lot and come to find out that there are also 4 other cars waiting! I had to wait at least 15-18mins for my food and another 5 mins for my drink! It wasn't really busy in inside either from what I could see. I don't know why or I guess just slow and with a bad attitude. read more

Carl's Jr - cars parked in front of a restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - King City, California

Nice enough place. It's actually the most convenient place to stop when I drive from San Jose to Santa Maria, or anywhere South on the 101 for that matter. It's almost two hours South of here and a perfect place and timing. Nice place. Great food. Bathrooms. :) read more

Would give 0 but not an option after going thru the drive thru told to pull in front so I wait for 15 min (actually timed it) no food so I go in the employee hands me my bag not sure how long it had been on the counter but I decided to check to see if it was warm nope so I ask to see the manager and sure enough it was the guy who handed me my food so I ask if he thinks making someone wait for there food for 15 min is ok when there is nobody else in the restaurant and then giving them cold food is acceptable he replies its carls jr after that I didn't even want my food got my money back and left will not return read more

During covid or not, removing your restrooms from your restaurant is low, some of us who are doing military movements only have barely minutes to Choose to eat or use the restroom. It becomes a serious problem, guess I'll just do it in the street outside. read more

Carl's Jr - This is what they call fresh baked buns? - Fast Food Near Me - King City, California

So, I feel a little weird giving such a good review to a fast food restaurant, but this particular Carl's Jr earned it. I can't believe how good the customer service is here. This is not a shill Yelp review...completely genuine. Wifey and I were driving along the 101, and she had a hankering for some fast food. We just so happened to stop in here. The guy who took our order was very charismatic and cracking actual funny jokes with us. He was extremely polite and gracious. He promised the food would be out shortly. Sooner than later the food was delivered by a different Carls Jr employee. She, too, was extremely polite and helpful. She provided a bit of small talk before she left our table. She eventually came back to our table (along with every other patron in the establishment) to see if we needed anything else. She brought us more ketchup. Then the manager himself walked an order out to a waiting vehicle outside. On his way back, he personally thanked us for dining with them. As for the food, it was what I would expect out of a Carls Jr (fairly tasty; their chicken sandwiches are yummy), but the service made us feel like royalty. Carls Jr corporate should really come to this location to see how customer service is supposed to be like. Kudos to you, King City Carls. Well played, indeed. read more

For fast food, this Carl's was incredible. First, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Which was great, because I had a bunch of questions as to what was on the Grilled Chicken salad. Secondly, that salad was *fresh*. I thought it might be because we're in the heart of California's growing area, but the assistant manager said that they had to get their produce from the main Carl's distributor. They just make a point of removing all the brown spots from the produce Long story short; friendly staff, actual fresh salads that beat the majority of the competition. read more

Do I have bad luck or this people are fucken stupid... I order 2 value meal # 4 which ever has the double western and I get 2 spicy chicken n 2 hamburgers... Are you serious... I have to drive far and cant go back to change it... Losers... I should of known when they gave me small drinks but I though those were regular size since they always switching it up.... Losers..... It took them half hour to make the wrong food. Which was cold... Talk about they cant aim the mayo was all over the wrappers instead of inside... The chick in drive thru had an attitude she looks at me like she wants to say something... I wish she would so I could of slap her back into her mommys stomach... In case your wondering what day was that and which idiots im talking about... Thursday February 4, 2016 at 3:45 pm.... read more

This is my 1/2 way point when I drive home to Southern California...NORMALLY THE POINT IN THE TRIP THAT I'VE GOT TO STOP! THE CAR AND MY TUMMY NEED TO REFUEL!

I don't care for the food - we just needed somewhere to give the kid a break while driving through on the 101. Interestingly everybody working here was super nice. Especially the dude with the done-up eyelashes. Restroom needs serious work. read more

I stopped here on the way home from a camping trip. My friends and I were caught off guard with how nice everyone there was. It was so nice, it was creepy. Ever see those old horror movies when the small town is full of people acting weird? This is what it felt like. When you walk in, virtually everyone says hi or greets you somehow. When the person brought our food, she asked if I wanted ketchup. When I said yes, she asked how many. I couldn't help but say "what the f*ck?" in response, but immediately said sorry. While we were eating, at least two times someone stopped and asked if we needed anything, if the food was okay, or if we had any garbage to take away. Again, creepy. All things aside, the food came out hot, the place was SUPER clean, and the employees were definitely well trained! High five to the manager. read more

Horrible customer service. Waited for about 5 minutes at the drive try for them to take my order and not one word was said , no "I'll be right right you" i said hello no one responded. Their micro phone was working I could hear them talking to each other but ignored me. It seams to me that the workers hate their job. read more

I went in for a breakfast item just after 7 AM. There was only one customer in the store and one car at the drive-through. There was one employee eating at a table and another employee in the back, cooking. I waited and waited and waited and finally after about five minutes the lady in the back said, " I'll be right with you, ma'am" ... and then I waited and waited and waited. Finally I just left with an empty tummy. read more
