Random stop on 10/27/24 after arriving from Spokane via Alaska Airlines. We were hungry and decided to stop by for breakfast. Went through the drive through window and ordered the two for $5.00 biscuit and sausage with orange juice. The biscuits weren't completely baked/cooked. It was ok. read more

The staff were just standing around bored. We came in to an empty restaurant and they still couldn't get it together. First they couldn't make change, so we used a credit card and the machine was messed up. We finally got it taken care of and the staff was kind of rude like we interrupted their break or something. Then we got our food home and found the burger bun was smashed flat and very mushy. My chicken tenders were half piece's and a 5 pc turned into a 3 piece. On top of that, they were over cooked. Very disappointed. But what really burned my hide was they nonchalant response from the supposed corporate office. They didn't really respond other than an email statement that they put the complaint back to the managers of that restaurant. Well, it's been three days and guess what? Nothing!! No response from anyone! They sure have lost allot of respect! Mr. Karcher would be ashamed!! read more

I had never been to a Carl's Jr. nor even really thought much about them. But the Superbowl promotion of a free "Hangover Burger" sounded worth a try, even though I had no hangover to add to the mix. With a free burger promotion on, I was surprised that there was almost no line in the drive through. The clerk was pleasant and helpful. I would not have guessed that adding egg, bacon, and hash browns to a hamburger would all mix well, but it was very good. I'm not sure I'm quite sold on the hash browns, but I enjoyed the crunch, and it wasn't bad at all. Based on this Hangover Burger, I would certainly consider visiting Carl's Jr. again. read more

Tried to order from this location on the app then drove by the location. Signage is gone and the windows are papered over. I was told, by a local merchant, that their last day of operation was 12/31/2025. This is too had as they were one of the better fast food burgers. read more

This location said it opened up at 7 AM. I was out there at 7:05am all the doors were locked. Stayed out there till 7:15am and left did not see anyone inside all the signs were lit up, saying open apparently not. read more

Most horrible place to get food, burgers are smashed with feet and for animals not people.

Rosa was great. I went here for lunch and have some picky colleagues. She was pleasant and didn't make me feel like it was over the top. Food was delish but service was fantastic! read more

I wouldn't really think of reviewing a fast food restaurant. Mainly because I don't have expectations in terms of service. Basic service, sure. But today, I was so pleased with such positive and welcoming services. I even had to look at her name tag. Erica was so great! Such a great personality. You don't come by people like that as often, and it's nice to see that. Thank you Erica for your smile and great customer service 10/10. Super Linda! read more

Service Thanks Erica at the Carl's Jr. in Renton, for helping me with a great food selection as well as your kindness and thoughtfulness. We need more people like you in this business. :) read more

Figure out your hours. It's fast food, it is what it is, I'm not gonna complain about fast food. You know what you're getting into. But it's frustrating as hell that everything they have posted about hours of operation contradicts the last. I occasionally work as a DoorDash driver, and I can't recall the last time I had an order here. That makes sense since the DD app incorrectly shows the restaurant closed at 2pm on a Saturday. I went to the drive-thru, and passed a poster that said they deliver w/ DoorDash. Then a sign taped on their speaker box says they have limited hours bc of low employees. That's not surprising given that's happening across the country with people wanting higher minimum wage. But that sign contradicts what is listed on Yelp, and also a sign taped on the drive-thru window, listing the hours as open till 11pm. Get it together. It's that easy. This is the most boring review I've ever posted on yelp, bc it's completely semantics. Let your customers know how and when you can serve them. Maybe if they knew your hours of operation, you'd be able to serve more customers, make more money, and then be able to staff more employees to actually staff a dinner crew, where there's even more money to be made. Just a thought from Econ 101. read more

The service at this location used to be good and has gone downhill over the years. Customer service sucks employees can't understand the simplest request for an order. The only reason we come here once in a while is that its the only carls jr within driving distance. read more

By far the most bizarre fast food experience of my life. We went out of our way because we are north of Seattle and miss the Beyond burgers. We were on our way up from the state fair and took a detour. Each order in front of us took about 10 min. We thought it was the quantity of food. When they finally gave us our order, there was no syrup in the soda. I tried explaining it to two different people but they had no idea what we were talking about. I ordered 2 beyond burgers: one with just the patty and ketchup, the other no cheese or sauce. They gave me two patties with cheese. We discussed whether to go back and I decided to because it just costs too much money. I go back. They call us up to the drive-thru. The cashier looks as though I am making the most complicated order known to man. Tears in her eyes. I tell her no one is behind us and to take our time. She turned to the register a few times and then walked away and told the cook our order. I figured everyone is in training. After all, I worked fast food and movie theaters at their age too. Show grace. No biggie. It takes 20 minutes. We are the only customers. 4 employees are having some kind of intense powwow in front of the cook. One person looks so angry, they almost storm the window to talk to me and then a friend gently pushes her to the front. I have two kids ready to eat and pass out in back. We are like, wtf is going on? They bring us our order. Nice kid Apologies. Baby daddy says, check the order. They gave us the exact same order again. We ask for a refund, call it a night. They call over the manager who storms over and gives us a refund without a word or glance. I was like, what the hell just happened? Is customer service really this bad now? And why? read more

Great customer service. The ladies at the drive through were very pleasant and nice.

I'm originally from Southern California where Carl's Jr is everywhere. None close to Seattle area so it was nice to feel like I'm in California getting some Carl's Jr. I got 2 Bacon Western Cheeseburgers, 2 Famous Stars and couple of fries to take home to have family eat. I couldn't wait and wanted mine warm. So I ate the delicious Bacon Western Cheeseburger soon after I ordered. Felt like I was back home in California. Well worth the drive. read more

Update: CJ's fixed its pop machines - thank you! I love Famous Star burgers, no American cheese

THE WORRRRRRRRRRRRST! Sooooo expensive. Got 2 meal deals medium sized and came to $25. There wasn't a soul in line. I live in the area and never see anyone here. Now I know why. And you borderline can't trust the food the give you there anyway. Will nevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvver in a million years be back. Used to love Carl's Jr. in Montana and this one is just a shame. Screw the franchise owner that sets these prices. You don't get business do you dummy read more

I got FOOD POISONING here last night! All I had was the coke float and zucchini fries (which was shared) and I alone got hit with the symptoms. Lucky me! This tells me that they probably don't clean their ice cream machine regularly or thoroughly because the coke float was the only thing I had by myself and I hadn't eaten for many hours prior to that. I will never come back to this Carl's Jr! Pretty positive this is what I got hit with - Staphylococcus aureus: https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/diseases/staphylococcal.html read more

My friend & I wanted to grab something to eat for lunch to take back to my place. Not having Carl's Jr. before, we decided that we would go here for lunch. I went w/ their Big Carl Combo which consists of 2 beef patties, their classic sauce, American cheese, lettuce, topped w/ a seeded bun. This combo also comes w/ a drink & a side of fries. Taking a bite of the burger, I found it to be very bland & flavorless. The fries were not much better either. Just a typical fast-food experience in my opinion. read more

Complete rip off in price two double burgers two fries $32.00, I will never ever go back

Decent food. I like the taste of the western bacon cheeseburger. The burgers are always freshly made. You have to ask for a receipt here, they won't automatically give you one. Sometimes they get a bit lost on what order they are on when the drive thru is busy, but they haven't messed up an order yet. read more

Just drove through for a couple of Beyond burgers. The service was great. The guy at the drive thru (I think his name tag said Miguel) was super nice. Food came up fast, the person who took our money was nice and the food was great. For fast food, they have great food. read more

Mildly surprised I'm writing a review in a chain fast food restaurant BUT I had to after experiencing this location. One, we don't really have Carl's Jr. in Washington, it's definitely a California or Southwest thing. I was sold on it until today's order. Fresh, very well prepared, the portions are massive and honestly worth the cost. The ordering is rather confusing, don't think you'll come here and just pick out what you want. From the type of fries to the choices of protein and down to even if they will put bacon on it or not. Also, they use a freaking ton of onions on the cheeseburgers. It's insane. I still am trying to scrub the flavor or raw onions out of my mouth. Also, lemonade is only sugar free, so don't get so excited. Limited beverage options but come ready to get your dollar amount prefer good idea. It's like the Claim Jumper of fast food places. read more

This place has really gone down hill. They manage to both over cook my beyond burger and severely under cook the fries. So disgusting. No business can survive in this Economy when clearly the workers do not care at all and instead want to stand around chatting. read more

Carl's Jr - Look at how undercooked and greasy these are. So unbelievably disgusting. - Fast Food Near Me - Renton, Washington

Not sure why all the terrible reviews, I didn't want to stop by here for the longest time due to them but sooooo glad i did!!! Me and my whole family are impressed!!! The flavor of the meat is amazing, the prices are very reasonable and overall, we all wanted to go back the very next day! Employees were normal despite the terrible reviews. This has become our favorite fast food burger place by far read more

I love their Angus Thick Burger. So when I saw this new offering, I was excited. Got home and was so disappointed. What I got for $6.99 looks NOTHING like their picture. Plus the prime rib tasted nasty. I totally reconstructed the burger so it was edible. Very disappointed with CJs. read more

Really upset to see this sandwich from one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite, lot of nostalgic feelings come to me as I drove up to the drive through and so disappointed as I got home. As I looked into my sandwich I notice the chicken was really small as if it was a tender but tenders come with a crisp, lettuces seemed to wet as the bottom bun was soggy. I almost didn't leave this review because this isn't even worthy of the one star and I'm still hungry. read more

Lol the food is cold. Cheese wasn't even melted. Even asked to be fresh, they said okay! Employees recently got some additional training to make the food better, but I guess they didn't learn. read more

This is the SECOND time I was not asked what size of Western Bacon combo I wanted, but was just given a MEDIUM by default. When I drove up to pay, I was handed a medium drink and a $12 bill. I said, "I wanted a small combo." The lady explained that they do not ask what size people want, but that they assume people want a medium when customers do not specify size at drive through. I asked if she should be asking people what size they would like - She responded "yes." This unauthorized upselling is probably happening to everyone that goes through this drive through. I do not appeciate this and will go as far as calling this scamming and deceiving the public. I have been a loyal Carls Jr. fan since being a kid in CA. Not sure after these last couple visits. read more

Since I was in the neighborhood, why not have lunch at Carl's? Always good food at reasonable prices. Just a brief wait at the counter for an employee since he was cleaning the soda machine area, not a problem. Friendly employee took my order. Very pleased how clean the soda machine area was. All tables were clean throughout the dining room. There was a bit of a wait for food to arrive, but when it did, the fries were hot, burger was warm also. I never have an problem with a. Short wait for freshly cooked food at a fast food restaurant. The taste is exactly as expected. As a native Californian, I have been going to Carl's my entire life and enjoy it every time. This location was enjoyable and CLEAN. Keep it up! read more

First time trying it out and was amazed on how good the burgers came out and the prices are just right

Their burgers are full filling and yummy! I went to Jack N The Box and the lines are sometimes full? So today I went there for the first time! Not disappointed at ALL! Also I would recommend this place to others. read more

For fast food burgers there are soo good! Service is usually good no bad service there and the wait is not as bad as most fast food spots!

OMG! I'm glad Carl got on his horse and moved to the greater Seattle area, finally!! So CJ's is no gourmet burger, but for a fast food joint, it does kick some serious a$$ flavor and price-wise... Move over Jack! Watch out Ronald! DQ, you are all in serious trouble as there's a new sheriff in town! Hand scooped ice cream shakes, delish! "Natural" cut fries, with skins on! Oh yeah! Too many burger options to count and damn check out the flavors at the soda fountain! Strawberry FANTA baby!! Ooooooh yeah!! So Carl, got any single sisters looking for a date? I'm soooo there.... read more

Moving up to the Seattle-area after living in the land of In-N-Out and tons of chains that didn't seem to make it up here (yet - hopefully!), we've been on a search for a good burger. My husband seemed to forget that there was a Carl's Junior somewhat nearby in Renton and when I reminded him after he had been craving a big burger it became #1 for our weekend plans! This is a chain, so you pretty much get what you expect. I did appreciate that the store itself was clean and the staff was friendly and professional. Those big burgers ARE massive. I ordered the "big hamburger" (which I didn't see on their menu, but was glad they still had it!) and was only able to eat about half of it because even that thing is pretty big! I had completely forgotten about their criss-cut fries -- YUM! -- and they were good here too. I was only a bit disappointed that my burger was almost swimming in ketchup and mustard... at least there were plenty of napkins on the table to wipe most of that off. And, just to clear up any confusion, Carl's Jr. is not In-N-Out but it's definitely its own kind of burger. I'd say it's more similar to Burger King but with some "fancier" options... I think I did notice that they offer malts here though -- must try that next time we go back! read more

Carl's Jr - Guacamole bacon cheeseburger - Fast Food Near Me - Renton, Washington

Holy guacamole! That was my thought when I first tried their guacamole bacon six-dollar burger. Okay, so it's a terrible pun, but the food here is anything but terrible (unless you're concerned about your health, in which case why are you looking up fast food?). I don't like to give fast food restaurants five stars, but this place has just about everything I look for in a burger place. I just wish there were another Carl's Jr. store closer to where I live than Renton. It basically feels like non-fast food burgers in a fast food place, which really left me impressed. Let's start with the prices. With the exception of some of their boxes with lots of chicken tender pieces, everything is under eight dollars before tax, and that includes even sandwich combos. And well, I think guacamole and bacon go well with just about anything, so what's better than a burger combining both? Nothing, that's what. The burger was impeccably crafted, and it does feel like something you'd get at a diner. It was huge, delicious, and absolutely full of guacamole! Plus, it was also full of lettuce to make me feel less guilty about eating so much meat in one burger. Their chicken strips are also soft and yummy, although there's not much more to them if you don't add sauce. Same with the French fries; they're not bad, but they're honestly pretty generic. Of course, they're not the star of the show when you're coming to Carl's Jr. And for those of you who care about service at a fast food restaurant, the employees here are excessively sycophantic. They actually asked several times how my food was going, and they were just overall more polite than they needed to be. That's not a complaint, but it's unusual coming from a place like this. Anyway, top-tier fast food restaurant right here. Expect something way better than your average fast food. read more

This place has gone down. Just went thru the drive thru. My food was cold not fresh. My burger looked like it was thrown together. Not worth the price should just go to jack on the box at least it's fresh everytime. read more

Hands down one of the best fast food restaurants I've been to. My husband got the El Diablo with fries and I got the Bacon Swiss. The service was friendly and food did come out "fast"! Food was served warm/hot which was much appreciated. Some fast food places serve your food cold. Burgers were yummiee, chicken and beef were the right amount of seasoning, not too salty nor plain, plus it didn't have that one-day-old taste. Fries were good, crunchy and not too salty like Mc Donald french fries. Definitely coming back here next time I want some fast food! read more
