    a hamburger with lettuce and cheese
    Jordan G.

    Fast food business is extremely competitive. There are several burger restaurants competing for the same burger clients. Carl's CKE has a loyal following of CKE burger lovers. The issue is when Carl's Junior falls short of their advertised quality. Cheap burgers outnumber quality burgers in the fast food world. I would totally expect sub par quality if I would have ordered a cheap value burger from a competitor. However, getting sub par quality on a premium Carl's CKE burger is equivalent of receiving an unexpected and undeserved swift kick in the groin. Cutting corners on your burgers much, Carl's? So much potential, poor preparation, poor burger temperatures. Would give zero stars if I could. Jordan

    Comparing with other burger joints, this specific one is very nice - friendly and efficient service, clean place, and well prepared items.

    This doesn't look lettuce wrapped to me.

    I am unsure why you wouldn't love this place....just look at my lettuce wrapped famous star with cheese and no pickle or onion! And just $12 for this combo. Wow!

    Just isn't very good. I hate to give a less then favorable review to any establishment. So let's start off on a positive note. Carl's Jr is a clean restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. Now for the not so good part. I realize Carl's Jr is a fast food resturant so I don't expect a burger like that from the Harvey's Wineburger or the Chuckbox. However, I do expect the food to be fresh and taste good. Today, on my visit to Carls Jr I had chicken Famous burger and zucunni. The hamburger was not seasoned and tasted as if it had been under a heat lamp for some time and that's why it was so dry and flavorless. The zucunni while it was fresh and served hot, the taste just wasn't good. The only enjoyable part of my lunch experience was my diet Dr pepper.

    Not sure if they fixed the sewer smelling problem inside. I went through the drive thru this time. I like there crispy chicken with bacon and swiss. My brother and sister like their burgers like the famous star and the chicken tenders. I ordered 2 fries and they only gave me one so I went back through the drive thru for my other fry.

    Lots of french fries

    Had a friend get me that new jalapeno burger. It was very tasty, with a ton of fries. Lots of jalapenos on it. Prices are a bit steep but I guess most restaurants have had to raise their prices. I'll be back though.

    I don't write reviews but this place is a joke. Even for food. Poor service, worst food.

    Cold food and dried out, tasted like the burger and been in the warming tray for hours. $8 for a fast food burger and fries was outrageous.

    I came here on a whim and just was asking the nice and friendly Carl's Jr worker (Gabriel) what the best burger on the menu was.

    From the outside it does not have curb appeal. But it is bigger than you expect. You enter a…read morepatio area, end then the bar area and then you wonder where to go next. The layout is a bit challenging since the menu board faces perpendicular to where you enter. When I arrived a group were craning their necks to read the options. This is not fancy. My order was called and I had the charcoal grilled fish and my friend had the classic burger . We also split the chili fries. Both came on paper fry containers and a cafeteria style tray. There was a large condiments stand with wagon wheels. It is similar to chuckbox but much larger. The food was decent and the fish cooked correctly. I apologize for no pics, we were engaged in a stimulating conversation. People put food first but in today's workd, we need to spend more time talking and listening to one another. I completely forgot to take pics of the food. Overall, it is a simple smashed style of burger patty. The ambiance is lower lighting with a western aged setting. Think traditional western style. It was my first time and while not my preferred style of burger, the food is decent. This is a place that offers customizable food, TV's and it was not too noisy. The counter person was extremely helpful in offering insights and options. Enjoy your experience and wear your boots and Cowboy hat.

    The Chuck Box is an extremely well known and popular Gem located at the heart of the ASU Tempe…read moreCampus. It has been around for DECADES and there is no question as to why it is still there. When visiting the Chuck Box know that it is cash only (ATM on-site), and super popular. There WILL be a line. The line does move extremely fast, due to the fact that the line cooks are definitely not waiting until you get to the counter to take your order. They will call out to anyone in line (regardless of where in line you are) and take your order, yelling it out if needed. It is such a unique and fun experience. The burgers are not overpriced and are phenomenal! It is self serve toppings, after you pay for your order you can go to the topping bar and add as much to your burger as your heart desires. They additionally have other food on the menu such as veggie burger, chicken sandwhiches, chicken tenders, onion rings, fries, fried zuchinni, fried mushrooms, and more. I have had both the fried zuchinni and mushrooms and I would definitely recommend both options! Since it really popular, be aware that there is limited seating and it is crowded. It is additionally extremely warm (especially during the summer) inside the building due to the grill. If you have not already checked out the Chuck Box, I would definitelly recommend that you check it out as soon as possible!!!

    After reading the glowing reviews, I had high expectations. Unfortunately they weren't met. This…read moreplace is ok, maybe even good, but not what I consider excellent or the best burgers in Arizona. For cash only, the prices seem a little high to me also. To start, my burger tasted pretty good. The cheese was good. Bun was a little dry and stale. The lettuce was yellow and chopped and looked several days old and slightly rotten. Two of my tomatoes had active mold growing on them. It was too dark inside to see it but we ate in the car and saw the moldy spot then. The fries are good but way too salty. We really liked the fried mushrooms. But we made our own dipping sauce which was better than the ranch they give you: mix 2/3 mustard and 1/3 Mayo. Tangy and delicious. We get these at "The Windmill" when we go to the jersey shore and the sauce that comes with the fried mushrooms is a horseradish sauce which is amazing (hint hint, Chuck Box). I would eat here again but bring a flashlight to inspect the produce and lower my expectations. It was good, not great. It smelled kind of off in here also. The AC and vents probably need to be cleaned.
