    three pieces of fried chicken on a cutting board
    Aaron R.

    Let me preface this by expressing this review is specific to the Country Club location in Mesa AZ. I had ordered a 3 Piece Tenders., along with two other meals, in drive through. At the menu screen, I had ordered both meals with crisscut fries. A the window, when the food came, they had only given us one order of crisscut fries. They insisted I give the reg fries back, so they could throw them away, which we did despite thinking it was super wasteful. But we complied regardless. Then we got home, and I noticed the tenders order was VERY TINY. Nowhere close to any tenders order I've experienced in my 40 years of fast food ordering. All three were between 2" to 2-1/2" in length. I went back to get a refund, as I felt this was severely insufficient for their price. I have ordered many tenders over the years. None have been this small. So, I went back to try and get some resolution. I told the two ladies at the front of the issue. One was the drive through cashier, Angelina, the other was the front counter, which I didn't get her name. They said they couldn't do anything, that I had already left (it was a drive through order) and there was nothing they could do. I told them I hadn't checked on the tenders until I was home, since I assumed there wasn't going to be a problem. One manager, the older woman, tried to solve the problem by saying she would make another order. I said that would be fine. The other, Angelina, grabbed the tenders and went to throw them away, I stopped her, and took the tenders back. I was appalled that she was just going to throw the good food away, especially after she had already thrown the french fries away. I told them all I wanted was for them to rectify the insufficient quantity of food. Not throw this order away, just to make more, to fix a quantity issue. The logic didn't make sense. Especially given that people are going hungry and starving to death all over the world. I just wanted them to adjust the food, to the amount at least to what is shown on the menu screen that I ordered from. The younger cashier at that time left the situation, and began calling corporate ( I assume). The older woman manager had already begun rectifying the situation to my satisfaction. The younger woman came back, and insisted that I give her the previous order so she could throw them away, or else I wouldn't get any more tenders. I refused as I didn't want the food wasted. She gave me an ultimatum, that I could give her the tenders to throw away, or I could leave. This was very upsetting, and I expressed how I didn't feel like the situation was being handled appropriately. I pointed out that the other woman had already begun what I felt was appropriate customer service, in this situation. Why did they now have to throw these perfectly good, albeit, tiny, chicken tenders away? Angelina obviously didn't like the situation, and she said that if I didn't comply, that she would call the cops to have me removed. I thought this was ridiculous, given that the other manager had already begun resolving the issue. I said as much, that I thought that was ridiculous, and that the problem could be easily resolve by just giving me a bit more food. But she wasn't having it. She asked me to leave again, and said she was about to call the cops, and I said fine, call them. Which she did (I assume, she turned and started messing with her phone). Angry, at this point at her refusal to cordially resolve my problem, I decided to just leave and contact corporate with feedback, and write online reviews of this experience. As I was leaving, I noticed them taking down my license plate number, I assume to give to the police. I cannot believe the younger Angelina would choose to call the cops on a customer and force them to leave, as opposed to deal with a $5 complaint over tiny chicken tenders. I wasn't even yelling, nor was I physically threatening in any way. I at times did have an elevated tone, because of how it was being handled, but I definitely wasn't yelling, and there was not disturbance of other patrons, as I was the only customer in the lobby. This isn't about $5, its about how the situation was dealt with, and the threat of authorities being brought in, as if I was some criminal. The way that this was dealt with was inappropriate given the circumstances. I'd like to continue being a customer at this store, but I will not if this is how their customer service is going to be. I feel this is a training issue. The "manager" was super young. Not sure how anyone of that age could even have the requisite life experience or managing experience to be a manager. The tenders are very inconsistent in size. In this case, roughly, I'd say two would make up what one tender should be. But again, this isn't so much about the tenders or the monetary value, as much as how I was treated, and how this was, not, dealt with.

    Fries were dumped in the bag not even in a box or wrapped up.

    I went to this Carl's Jr. on country club Drive and McKellips and this young woman by the name of Maria that wears glasses put $20 worth of food in one small bag and dumped both of our boxes of fries upside down and when we asked her if she could please give us an extra bag because she dumped all of our food in there and everything is smashed she proceeded to laugh at us and I told her that I was recording all of this on video and she started busting up laughing at us telling us we were going to go to jail for recording her and so I proceeded to tell her that in the state of Arizona it is illegal to record somebody especially if you tell them they are being recorded and she asked us what are we trying to get out of her and called us thieves I have pictures of all of the smashed food that was put into our bag without wraps or boxes and I also have a video of her disgusting degrading behavior. Something needs to be done about this Maria woman or I am going to post the video and the pictures on YouTube Facebook Instagram Twitter and I will be getting a hold of dirty dining I will also contact the health department about all of our food being put into a bag without being wrapped up and everything being smashed her behavior was completely out of line I am a machinist and I make parts for airplanes and military weapons I had just got off of work from a 11 1/2 hour day and I was also buying food for my disabled mother and we did not deserve this type of behavior this is the third night in a row that I have come into this location and been treated like garbage by the same girl she was also not wearing a name tag and hat on a regular jacket and was chewing bubblegum and I asked her five or six times what her name was and every time I asked her she answered me saying I do not have to give you my name and like I said I have video of this entire confrontation of how she was acting and treated me and my disabled mother.

Wow, it did not disappoint--this place is legit delicious! I went with the Swiss & Shroom MeltBurger (mushroom burger) and customized it by swapping the Swiss for pepper jack cheese, adding ranch, and drizzling on that spicy buffalo sauce. Holy cow, it was a home run! The burger literally melted in my mouth, super juicy and packed with flavor--one of the juiciest burgers I've ever had. The angus-wagyu blend shines through, and the toppings took it to another level. The ordering process was super simple and modern--I loved the big touchscreen kiosks that made customizing easy and quick. No hassle at all. They have some unique soda flavors I've never tried before, which was a fun surprise and paired perfectly with the meal. Bonus points: the bathrooms were spotless and well-maintained, which always matters to me. This jumps straight to my #2 burger spot overall (Shake Shack is still king in my book, but The Melt is giving it a serious run for its money with that melty, juicy goodness). I'll definitely be back soon--highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Tempe. You won't regret it! 5 stars all the way.

The breading was sopping wet and made eating it so unpleasant. The worst part was I paid 18$ for it, with a side of chips(fries would have been more). I was very disappointed. Their whole menu is honestly overpriced. Kind of disappointing what's become of this place. Edit: wasn't sure how to reply to the owner's comment, but I did eat it there, and the very first bite the sandwich fell apart. Honestly, I couldn't taste the fish at all, the flavor from the oil overwhelmed everything else. And you're right I have no problem paying more for quality, but at least for this sandwich it wasn't there.
