This has to be one of the most ghetto Carl's Jr I've ever been in LOL. The manager is trashy as hell. Really rude. Food is sloppy and cold. I would avoid. Manager needs to be checked on some customer service skills. read more

Multiple times I come to order with a coupon (or outside store window special) and each time they state - they do not have any chicken or tenders ... one time they even said " they need to save them for later". Simple answer - if you do not want to honor the coupons and/ or specials on your window - just put a sign up. Usually they have been nice to me since I come fairly often - but lately something changed. Wish them the best and hope things improve. read more

If i could give zero stars i would. I go here almost every day after work and i ask for the crisscut fries. They are always out and they are extremely rude about it. They act as if you are asking them to go above and beyond their job and are bothering them. Perfect example - Just now on 4/23/26. I went there and ordered two breakfast items. I said thank you at the intercom and all. I went up to the window it took the person 5 minutes to come to the window, then he basically throws the food at me to rush me out. I asked for two habenero ranches and he looked bothered and was in a rush like he was on drugs. He reached and grabed one regular ranch and got my change and gave it to me. I let him know i said habanero ranch and he gasped and said i dont have any. I said ok well can i have two. He said no you have to pay for the other. I said ok how much he said 1.10! WTF for a ranch. CRAZY! this has to be the worst ran carls JR in history. They need to close this place down. Customer service is crap! read more

The young lady who is probably in her early 30s with a nose piercing, has such an ugly attitude, she shouldn't be a manager or even work there if she is one. She seems to always be having a bad day and gets upset when people ask for condiments, she makes customers feel uncomfortable and disrespected, she makes carls jr look bad. Corporate should research this customer service carls jr store she didnt even want to say her name, she put the receipt down as "cashier postmates" she should not work there. Carls Jr do ur job please read more

Food was terrible wtf is this!!????? 2 for $11 and I get this terrible food. The manager was also on her phone the whole time the poor worker that helped me looked overwhelmed while she was just talking smack to whoever was on the phone. read more

So my wife has been craving Carl's Jr. a lot during her pregnancy and this location is around where we live. We have gone 3 separate times and each time they always forget something or the food has not been good. 1st strike: the fries were stale af. Literally probably just scooped out what was left of lunch rush 2nd strike: we ordered double western cheeseburgers.... Missing onion rings in the burger 3rd strike: ordered jalapeño poppers, employee hands me the bag saying "all your food is in there" come to find we didn't have our poppers. Went back in, didn't even apologize just said "how many?" Usually don't leave reviews for fast food places just because ya know.... It's fast food. But, the service, long lines, and constant mistakes made me write this reviews. Especially for the price you are paying for carls, I LITERALLY have no idea why they're still in business (thank you wife for your cravings). Go to Tom's down the street on Santa Anita and Rush, because this carls jr freaking stinks. read more

Place is a god damn joke. I know fast food gets low reviews and I never write reviews for fast food, but this is a joke. Drive through didn't care, kept side chattering. Made me wait at the FRONT cause they took too long to avoid harming their timed metric. And fed me a RAW PATTY in my burger. Such a joke.. I never had this happened before. Stopped going to this location and even contacted Carl's support which they did nothing to resolve this problem. read more

Carl's Jr - Raw meat ... - Fast Food Near Me - S El Monte, California

Disgusting place! The old man in the back who is the owner or manager is so gross!! he doesn't wear gloves and he wipes the counters with a dirty rag and then proceeds to make sandwiches and burgers on that same counter !! Disgusting! The oil looks dark and nuggets tastes like shit . Also the floors look a mess! Tables and counters are dusty !! I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK. Health inspection should really come by. Also the soda machines never work , you have to ask for refills at the cashier . Plus all the girls in the front are rude and look at you rudely. This place sucks! Dirty ass people and dirty ass fast food restaurants that dont clean. read more

I ordered from drive thru, the worker told me to wait in front of the door, I waited 15 mins no joke. After worker sent me my order without my drink, he said oh shit then ran back in. Well, I thought he was going to grab my drink and send me in few mins. But he was GONE. Never show up again, I really got worried. When I walked in and about to ask, I saw the workers were chatting. I thought they may be new for this job but when I read some comments on Yelp, I am wondering do they really have a manager or ???? ???? Black list read more

Ordered on the drive thru and the worker kept asking what else what else... I asked her to give me a minute to choose another item. Apparently she didn't like that I asked for a moment so she left me waiting to complete my order about 3-4 minutes. When I got to the window I waited over 8 minutes and no one ever came to the window so I just left to go to Jack in the Box where they helped me fast and without the freaking drama. No wonder this Carl's Jr location has such low ratings!!! Never again! read more

First, I'd like to say this is not the first time I've had problems with this specific Carl's Jr; The previous time, I had just got off work and was starving, and since this Carl's Jr. is on my way home I decided to stop by since the lines aren't usually long. I decided to order on the app to make things quicker and I could rest up for the following day. When I get there I let them know I had a mobile pick-up order, king story short, they had no order placed (I always double check I'm ordering at the correct establishment when ordering online); They wouldn't work with me even though I showed them proof of purchase, so--and I know I probably shouldn't have done but I was hungry and tired-- I decided to pull back around and order at the drive thru. Little known fact there is NO customer service page to submit any formal complaint, so I was never refunded that money. This happened last year. I decided to give it another chance this year. Now, what transpired today made me absolutely never want to order there again. The young man who attended us at the drive thru was nice and courteous (we extended the same kindness back) but I'm guessing he was still new to the job and he handed it off to his coworker. Now, this is where it goes downhill. Right off the bat the girl was instantly rude. I understand not wanting to be at work, or simply having something going on in life--I can say from personal experience my family has gone hell and back this year. But the pure rudeness radiating through the speaker box was abhorrent. We remain calm and continue our order, when we pull up to the window we're told to park in the front which we had no problem doing so (For additional context there was no long line but it did seem there were only 2 employees working). Only, when we checked our order, the sodas were not filled all the way (I would say 3/4 parts of the way). We decided it was not worth the trouble to argue for a wrong order since we were busy and just needed to eat to regain energy and continue. Ultimately, I'd say I do not recommend this particular Carl's Jr. I'd like to reiterate, though, that the young man was very kind and sent us off with a "Have a good day!". It is very disheartening also because there is a hospital a couple feet from there and to know people who are already going through a hard time would have to deal with this type of service. (Also, under cashier name it's listed as "Posmates"). read more

This Carls is on the corner of the street, and there are not many people entering the restaurant to eat, but more cars enter the restaurant. The service attitude of the clerk is very good, and the room is bright, spacious and clean. The hygiene of the toilet is not good and needs to be improved to improve the hygiene quality. I like the French fries in this shop the most, every time my daughter comes to eat them. read more

Never expected in majority minority area, be treated being discriminated against for being Asian. I am a fortunate Asian who grew up and was raised in South America, and living 30-plus years, I saw it with among people I know. At this location, experience twice.. first, ordering inside , a female that is taking orders, as taking my order, she treats me like I don't English like I am stupid, she starts speaking Spanish with her coworker.. she acts like she didn't understand me . After I started speaking to her in Spanish, her attitude and her body language and reaction change. On Friday, the 13th of September, I wanted to use a quick restroom in the morning , ask the code the cashier said customer only, after letting a homeless person use the restroom...Some might say is the restroom, that same token why I am treated differently and if wasn't a big deal why I am refuse to use the restroom. Past experiences of the services made it come to that assumption, please, the way he said it , he face impression. The gas station around the corner before the freeway was friendly, and there was no issue, mcdonald's or Starbucks, or any other fast food place had no issue or problem.. Not even the Carl's Jr. by Northgate in El Monte, CA on Peck Rd. That I know I was discriminated against, and these two cashiers were racist or had issues with Asian read more

Ordered breakfast using the drive thru and had no issues. When I sat down to eat my breakfast at work a little while later, I realized there was BLACK MOLD on the inside of the bun they used to make it. No it wasn't char marks and even coworkers agreed it looked like mold. I returned a few hours later with my sandwich in hand and asked for a manager. The worker informed me that there was no manager on duty and asked if she could help. When I explained the situation, the cook immediately came and joined the conversation. The worker explained there was mold on the bread and the cook was dismissive right away stating it was from the grill. The entire time the cook spoke she spoke in Spanish. She then started to be rude, and stating I was just there to start problems seemingly not knowing I also spoke Spanish. As soon as I chimed in with "Yo también hablo Español" you would've thought they'd seen a ghost; the look on their faces was priceless. The cook then proceeded to become defensive and claim she "doesn't serve rotten food and she would eat it no problem." Good for you! At no time was I rude or arguing back with the cook. I wasn't there to fight, I just wanted my money back. The first worker had a second worker process the refund and the second worker said absolutely nothing to me and simply handed me my money. Never did any of the staff offer an apology or seem remorseful during the whole interaction. Needless to say, I will never be back here ever again! I guess it was my fault for even going there in the first place expecting decent food... read more

I was here with my aunt having a rib burger. This is her favorite place. They can be more pricy $ but good portions. As we were at the counter the staff was talking about expired deserts - the date on the back was expired as of today. One of the employees ask the Manager what to do ( well of course we over heard everything) she advised them to remove the old expiration date and add a new one. This is so bad ! I told them they should not be doing this. Usually if deserts are expired - you sell them for 1/2 price like at the market at least the consumer knows what they are getting. After all that these young ladies were embarrassed but only doing what they were told by the manager who was also advised to do that. So wrong!!! All these young workers are nice and need to make $$ it's not there fault- this needs to be addressed with the higher up!!!!! read more

Carl's Jr - Fast Food Near Me - S El Monte, California

Fast Food restaurants are never high expectations. Just the basics. Cheap food. Prompt Service. Correct order. Clean dining area. My lunchtime experience wasn't good. I ordered the Beyond Burger, asked for it to be vegan adding mustard ketchup. What I got was cheese mayo, special sauce basically not vegan. I was also given buttermilk dipping sauce which I can't eat anyhow. The dining area was not clean, soda fountain was out of 2 of the choices I wanted and the large sized cup was the size of a regular. One star experience but adding a star because the girl who got my order wrong was friendly and a new employee. But they need to improve a lot of things. read more

These people messed up my order. I ordered a mix and match breakfast burrito and grilled cheese. They gave me two dry breakfast biscuits. When I got to work I noticed the mistake. I called them up. They refuse to refund or change the order. They didn't like the tone in my voice. Yet I was the one that was being inconvenienced. They had nothing to complain about. It was their mistake. I wrote a review on yelp. Then I got a nasty letter from them. They told me not to use my EBT card at their location again as if that's an insult. Has if millions of people in California don't get EBT and are working. They tried to use my situation to insult me. I am including the reply the manager sent me in retaliation for my review. These people deserve one star. Look at all the negative reviews they got on yelp. I think I proved my point. It's not Carl's Jr it's the people that work there. I we'll never go to that Carls Jr. not even if they gave me free food. They want me to go back because they want drama. These are a bunch hateful and vindictive employees. And it's no coincidence they're all women that work there. I'm also including the woman that had a nasty attitude with me at Carl's jr. Shes an older woman that was very hateful. read more

I wish I could leave 0 stars. My brother and sister have always been complaining about getting their orders wrong here but I always thought they were exaggerating. I came in today to get an oreo shake that cost almost $5 which I thought was ok assuming I got a decent size one. I asked without whip cream. When I received the shake It was a small cup and had a little bit over half a cup. So naturally I asked the girl to put more since it was half empty. She said no cause that's the scoop size which I thought was bullshit cause you can easily add another scoop. When it comes to food im never stingy but this was ridiculous. If I wanted a pricey specialty drink I would go to a restaurant or starbucks. I will be posting a pic so y'all can see I was not lying. Im glad im not the only one who gave them 1 star. DO NOT EAT HERE OR BUY FOOD FROM THIS CARLS. read more

Carl's Jr - This is what the girl gave me and wanted me to be fine with. This Carl's Jr's communication skills lack - Fast Food Near Me - S El Monte, California

The matter, I would not give this restaurant any stores. The restrooms were clean, however there is this disgustingly stale smell of disinfectant and bleach. The dining area is clean, but then again, it should be since nobody seems to eat here. The manager could care less for the customers. This is not just an opinion of mine but I feel like I have witnessed her dealing with something very small that could have been easily resolved but instead she made the situation worse, serving as proof of her lacking the skills necessary to be an effective associate in management and customer service. She had a horrible attitude. Are usually do not write reviews immediately after visiting the restaurant. It tends to take me a few days, sometimes longer. In this case, my experience was so horrible that I just had to write this now. When I came into the restaurant, there was one other couple in front of me in line. They were asking for very specific things on how they would like their food prepared. At first, I thought they were being picky. But then, I noticed the gentleman explaining to the cashier what he ordered, how he wanted his food prepared, and how it had initially been given to him. He was so unhappy that he was returning his order altogether. He wanted to order the same item but made to his specifications. I could see what he was upset. He kept saying things like' "I want my burger to look like the picture!" , or "...make it just like that!" The cashier did not know what to do. She said that she gave him exactly what he had ordered and that they were not going to change it for him. She then said something about them having given him exactly what he had asked for and that it was the same as the picture. He disassembled his burger in front of the cashiers eyes. He asked them to compare the picture to the burger that he got, and to look at the burgers toppings inside: lettuce tomato and onion. On his burger, he had no tomato. He had too much onion. And the worst part, he had less than a quarter leaf of lettuce inside of the burger of his. I could totally understand why he was upset. Not only was his burger unappetizing looking but they also forgot to give him his fries. He was upset. He said that he frequents this location and that they always make mistakes. He says that he thinks that they're too concerned about socializing and being on their phone that they do not give a care about their customers. After hearing about how irresponsible they are with food and orders and quality, I decided that I would just get something really small to tide me over. I ordered a large fries and a drink. You would think that is something that they could not mess up easily. The first 4 cups that they gave me we're all dirty. The lid that they gave me was broken. There are plenty of straws waiting to be used but with milk and cups and broken lids and dirty this and that, it is no wonder that people have not been using the Shaws up. He will probably change your mind about ordering drinks. And even with my fries, I did not think that they would be a problem. There was. I know that the cost of food in general has gone up but for me to have ordered a large fries and it look like a small, I was definitely unhappy. I think I was more excited about getting out of bed and I was staying to have them cut my order. I let it slide, but I am still upset. I went inside to ask them to look at these fries and to tell me that those really look like a large order fries. The manager was the one who dealt with me. She said that if I did not have my receipt that she could not fix anything. The cashier that helped me, she only looked on and did not say a word. She was not going to help me although she remembered me. How could you not? I was your absolute last guest. And I had not even left the counter more than two minutes before my asking them to check my fries. Clearly posted on the counter at the cash register, it was a small sign that says that the store would appreciate your feedback and that your voice or opinion matters. I have a feeling that they want you to do a survey or something but you need a receipt to be able to do that. They do not give me a receipt. When I asked for one, the manager said that they didn't have it. I find that really hard to believe. I may just have to contact corporate. That might be the better thing. I can't even begin to tell you how upsetting it was to be there and listen to all these people come in with their problems about their orders. The couple that I did not mention came in after me and the wife was really upset. read more

NEVER ASSUME! Not much a meat eater, but decided to have the Carl's Famous burger with no cheese or Carl's special sauce. My order was freaken wrong when I opened it up! Sometimes people like to hear themselves and that is where the problem is! 1. Didnt hear me say Carl's "Famous" 2. No "cheese" 3. No Carl's special sauce 4. No pickles This doesnt mean I wanted everything else off too. I ordered the burger came out to $7.03, then I questioned the price. If you had reviewed the order again maybe you would have had the burger right. The burger usually comes with a patty, special sauce, add cheese for $, lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion. I usually opt out on special sauce, pickle, and cheese. Really not returning back to this location!!! However, she attempted adjust the difference though and that is where the one star comes in. I always had problems with this Carl's. Always try to give them a chance to redeem themselves but somehow they always FAIL!! read more

I've never had a beyond burger before but have heard positive reviews. I used to eat burgers and meat in general, but due to health reason I've cut eating meat. I thought I would try it during a promotion on 8/15/19. I went during dinner break, waited a long time for my burger, heard my number called and as I walked to the counter, the worker (thick Hispanic lady with dark frame glasses) gave my burger to someone else. When I told her, she had a freaked out look on her face and proceeded to get my order..it was ready within seconds which I thought was weird considering I waited a long time before my initial number was called. I got back to work, with all my co workers surrounding me watching me take my first bite (I couldn't get them to try with me) I ate the burger. I kept thinking how it tasted exactly like a regular meat patty, "pretty good" I said "Taste how I remembered a Carl's Jr. burger tasted." I was, however suspicious and could help think I was given the wrong order. And minutes later it was confirmed, I was a meat burger. One of my co workers came in with an actual beyond burger..the patty looked different, had a different color to it, had a different taste to it and the wrapper had a sticker tab that stated 'Beyond Burger.' My wrapper didn't. I already ate half of it, threw up and felt like crap afterwards. The deputies at work had a good laugh! Not funny! This type of mistake can be harmful to someone's health. It's a sickening feeling to ingest something that you've abstained from consuming for a long time. Weather it be a mistake or intentional, one of the worst thing that can happen is getting served something your body can't handle. I don't think this worker understands the repercussion of her action. Hours later, I'm still feeling nauseous. And no one picks up the phone to this location, goes straight to voicemail! read more
