    Green Burrito! Bean and Cheese
    Justin H.

    Only stopped here for the Green Burrito bean and cheese with hot sauce burrito because my wifey has always raves about it from her time in CA. I'm a die hard Del Taco fan whenever going back to CA but I had to do the right thing and try the Green Burrito for her even though we were on the way to the closest Del Taco from John Wayne Airport on our way home out of state. One last ritual stop at Del Taco before going home wasn't in the cards today. Disappointing to say the least but I got through the whole pinto bean, cheese, and mild hot sauce disaster as lovingly as I could. The only good thing about this flavorless burrito was the amount of cheese they add...lots! Wifey did say that the burrito wasn't what she remembered and won't be back to try again. Sad because most of the Carls Jrs that still have the Green Burrito sign don't really have the Green Burrito menu anymore but this one did. Rare, but ultimately a disappointing experience.

    Chicken fingers

    Carl's Jr. Prices are insane. $7.53 for 3 chicken fingers. It won't let me post the review without writing more. Is this enough?

    Yazmin always gives Great service and always on top of everything.When you ask for condiments she is happy to do it

    I stop by with my family and we all asked for our food and I came pretty fast and as it should be warm as the TV advertising the place was very nice and neat so clean and I was watching the supervisors working on the drive thru and the cars were served so quickly everything was ok I recommend this restaurant and I would like to give

    a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and ketchup

    They just don't care and they even pretend to. Burger was not really flame broiled and with a stale bun. Onion rings were room temp ($4.09!). I rarely eat fast food and Carl jr. is my favorite. Really disappointed this miserable location missed the mark so badly.

    Bacon Swiss Chicken Sandwich Medium Combo
    Julius P.

    One of my favorite chicken sandwiches, the bacon swiss chicken sandwich. Been eating carls jr chicken sandwiches for 20 years lol

    Famous Star with Cheese .. can't tell but the bread is old and stale
    KD D.

    $10 for a fast food meal. I expect the buns not to be hard and stale. Completely ruined the taste of the whole burger. Bread is cheap. Throw out/donate that crusty old bread and give me fresh buns please. The fries were good but my supposed to be fast good food sucked! If you're looking for a Carl's Jr. keep driving until you hit the next one, this one is a pass. Maybe give it a shot if you're just getting the fries and only during peak hours, I wouldn't trust on odd hours.

    Carl's is pretty much standard. I tried their version of jalapeño poppers from here and they were pretty good. A 6 piece went a long way.

    A bit pricey but it makes sense considering the area and quality of their food. I wasn't able to…read moretry the fries since they were out of fries when I got there but damn that was an insanely good burger and milkshake. I was only able to finish half but after the long drive home I ended up inhaling the rest of that burger. I will embarrassingly admit that the burger and shake left my insides in shambles that night and next day. I normally have a strong stomach but as I've grown older, I've built a bit of an intolerance to dairy and greasy foods. Was it worth it? Yes. Would I risk putting my poor cigar cutter through that again for another milkshake and burger? Absolutely. I'd just have to make sure I have the next day off and no where to go that evening.

When I visited on a weekday for an early lunch I was the only customer sitting inside but there was a near constant flow of people getting to-go orders. You order either at a kiosk or at the counter. There was only one guy working, doing everything, while I was there. He was amazing. I ordered a cheeseburger (minus onion), sidewinder fries, and a salted caramel milkshake. They make everything to order so it takes a few minutes (especially when there's only one worker) but it's worth the wait. He delivered it to my table when it was ready. My American waygu burger with melted cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and secret sauce in a potato bun was one of the best burgers I've had. While all the toppings were fresh and delicious, I think the flavorful, perfectly cooked, high quality beef is what put it over the top. The thick sidewinder fries were really great too. They're thick like steak fries but curved like a snake. I was provided ketchup and "secret sauce" for dipping. And my salted caramel shake was incredible. I've had a multitude of caramel shakes elsewhere that just tasted like sweet vanilla, but this one had a vibrant caramel flavor and you could see gobs of caramel swirled within the shake. I loved the massive amount of whipped cream on top too. What a great meal! Thanks to Yelper Amy B. who brought this place to my attention. Give it a try the next time you find yourself in the Newport/Balboa area.

I would like to thank the staff for letting us rent out the place and providing excellent service for all 50 of us. My uncle spent almost 15k that night! Shout out to him for hosting! The beautiful interior strikes a nice balance of upscale and coastal vibe, with a modern design that feels welcoming. We were seated by the harbor with views of the ocean and yachts. It was stunning and love the natural light coming down on us as the sun was setting. It definitely felt like a movie scene. Lowkey tip: Parking is limited so get valet next door for $6. On the preselected menu, there were appetizers and then three types of entrees to choose from. My gf got the Chilean Sea-bass, I got the Filet Mignon with risotto, and my sister got the Crispy chicken dish. Everything was a 5/5, but my meat was a bit charred on the surface. It was still medium rare just how I like it, so it's still juicy. The Sea bass was soft and tender. The meat just melts on your mouth like butter. So good.As for the drinks I got a whiskey sour and it was tasty. My gf got the sunset cocktail, which tasted like a refreshing grapefruit. We also got a couple Caymus bottles from Napa that we brought over and it was bold, a bit tarty, and very smooth to drink. I forgot how much corkage fee was though. The whole night was fun and filled with good talks and laughter. Birthday girl had fun! It was splendid, indeed. The nice woman who served our side of the table was so fast and efficient. Im just amazed by how remembers all that stuff we wanted to order without asking twice. Brain capacity is at large, lol. Service was excellent. You guys gotta come and try if you haven't yet!

Starting with parking, this is Newport so you need to be aware. There's an underground parking structure right to the left of the entrance (if your car is pointed towards the marina). Shorebird validates at the hostess stand, valid 2 hours. Atmosphere is great. It's clearly a more upscale (but casual enough) brunch spot on the marina. The decor is beautiful and high quality but not overly done nor overly extravagant. Can imagine the vibe leaning more formal in the evening because it does give "ocean club with the lights on" during the day. Menu items all sound and look delicious but the execution is slightly off. An example was with the lemon ricotta hot cakes - gorgeous in photos and such a great idea on flavors but they had a horrible bitter aftertaste that made them really hard to eat (about 1/4 way in I couldn't do it). Similarly the meatballs looked delicious but the meatball itself was not nearly as flavorful as it looked and sounded on the menu. Passion fruit margarita (zero proof) tasted like passion fruit flavored sparkling water. Was definitely a miss for us. Will try again and order different items, but honestly not sure another visit could make up for the disappointment and get this in my top 5. If it wasn't for the location, they would get my business once and I'd never look back...

Read them carefully and you'll see a pattern or poor quality food, small portions, and over priced items. We decided to eat from here, only because of its convenience, and not knowing the area well, this was the closest option We ordered some items to-go since the wait was over 1.5hrs...even though there were at least 6 tables open within eyeshot, not to mention seating upstairs. Maybe they were for reservations, but this place just seems like it has multiple missed opportunities. They told us food would be out in 15-20min which was another reason we ordered to-go, only to wait 45min for our food. Then on top of all that they forgot one of our items and we went back and had to wait another 15min. Theres also isn't an official waiting area at this restaurant or a bar to sit at, so missed opportunity 1. With ridiculous wait times when there are open tables, serving drinks to people seems like a no brainer to make a little extra revenue and retain customer happiness. Portions, even to go our portions were small. 26 bucks for fish and chips only to get 3 small fish fingers piece of cod and a handful of cold fries feels like a crime. Some of the food we ordered was odd the kids menu and the grilled cheese was served on, what felt like stale bread, enough to where I didnt feel comfortable have my child eat it. I doubt i'll ever come back here. I'll just doordash, or Uber eats something to the beach next time.
