    899 Cherry Ave San Bruno, CA 94066 Stopped here to grab some food before heading up to San Francisco. This is the Carl's Jr at Bayhill Shopping Center. I went thru the drive-thru (DT) and got fooled by the menu board. Yep, the price in bold font is just the price of the burger! So I ordered a Single Western Bacon Cheeseburger Combo, and it rang up to over $14. Food Quality, Grade (3/5): French Fries were not hot. They were probably sitting under the warmer while they waited on the burger. Fries have a very limited holding time, maybe 7-10 mins. After that, they get soggy and limp. Hot fries should be hot and moist on the inside, and lightly crisp on the outside. Okay, the Western Bacon Cheeseburger is my favorite Carl's Jr burger. It incorporates my favorite things.....BBQ sauce, Onion Rings, Cheese, Bacon, and a juicy meat patty. Oh yeah, and it's held together with a sesame seed bun. Very good burger.....juicy and hot. BTW, the quality of the soda depends on how well the mixer was calibrated. Service, Grade (4/5): Speedy and prompt service. Free ketchup and napkins without me asking for them. Value, Grade (2/5): When customers pay more, they should expect more. Carl's Jr is serving the exact same burger as before, but now with jacked up prices. Would I return? Maybe. Better idea would be to see what else the shopping center has to offer.

    Food service was really quick and kind. I had a problem with my app and the guy working the counter was able to help me. Fast food restaurants rely on you having the mobile app to get a good deal due to pressure from food delivery services. I was able to get what's shown below for $5, would've been $22 without the app.

    This has to be one of the cleanest Carl's juniors I have ever been to. Even the drive-through is clean along with the parking lot. The staff is friendly and put the food together with care and pride. I ordered the Original angus beef double cheeseburger. This thing look like the burger in the commercials!. Thanks guys and keep up the good work.

    Trash in drive way

    I went to this carls Jr on 6/17/23 at 7:30pm and received horrible service. I told the female that took my order that there was a trash can in the driveway preventing me from moving forward, she told me okay move it. I had to back up again and tell them that theres a trash can that needs to be moved. When I get to the window, the same female comes to window with a dirty look on her face and bad attitude. Once I get my food she tells me everything is in there and slams the window and walks off. Once i got home and im about to eat my sandwich I realize she gave me a plain chicken sandwich, chicken and mayo. I ordered a chicken sandwich that had bacon on it.

    Not worth it. Saddest chicken sandwich I've ever met. The chicken sandwich itself goes for $7

    Saw a picture of the chicken sandwich and wanted to try it. I got the large combo. Fries were stale and the size of the chicken was strangely round and well within the buns. Fast service prolly due to the lack of effort.

    Miguel at Carls Jr. was an absolute joy. He was so attentive to detail and really appreciated his energy even at 11:30 PM. Give this man a raise because he is keeping customers happy and this business moving!!

As Good Friday approaches I am craven some chicken. I can't put my finger on it but I enjoy some good chicken fingers. I first heard the term Chicken Fingers from Canadians and it is commonly known as chicken tenders in San Francisco. So when I saw Raising Canes Chicken fingers was coming to Stonestown in SF I was excited but then it hasn't opened yet. So I decided to go to the nearest Raising Cane's in Colma. Although there are more dead people in Colma than living the inside Raising Canes felt alive with decor which represents the nearby schools and local sports teams. I ordered the box combo from their minimalist menu which has all the essentials except onion rings . I enjoyed the lightly batter chicken fingers which was not too crunchy and was tasty dipped in the Canes signature sauce and the tangy with the honey mustard sauce and a bit spicy with their Louisiana hot sauce . It came with crispy not soggy crinkle cut fries which were a good way to pair the chicken fingers along with Texas toast which was not too flakey like some in SF. This is one of my favorite fast food places to get chicken fingers. They also do catering so you can give others the finger. You can get to Colma by feet , car , or BART "train" , to grab the chicken fingers which has flavor which are not bland or "too plain " it's a national "fast food chain" who got its namesake from the owners yellow Labrador Retriever, "Raising Cane" It's worth the "trekking" and worth "checking" they have a finger discount and it's not the fingers I was "expecting" its chicken fingers you can do some "hand pecking"

    The chicken is delicious. But the size of each piece is small, who ya kidding? Texas toast…read moreincluded to 'make-up' for the thinly size strips. Amount of fries with the meal (on the menu board looks small) so I ordered an extra side of fries and even the side amount was stin-gee. NOT a very nice presentation when you open the carton to see what little food you get for the amount of money they charge. I paid $ 17.00 for a 3-piece w/ soda, and extra side of fries. These kids working here can 'easily' be generous with the servings to match the 'wanna-be' nice & pleasant smiles they exude. C'mon. Guaranteed you wont come back a second time; or even a first time after reading my review.

Add all those tourists and transit people you also have people from the whole peninsula, you can understand how crowded it gets here. The parking lot is probably the worst part of the experience here because it's always congested so I do not recommend coming here is you are short of time. It shares the parking lot with the carwash and several other restaurants so you'll likely be stuck here for a long while regardless whether you are going through drive thru or parking. The food is standard in n out which means something if you either are local or tourist. In n out intentionally goes old school so there is no app no order ahead and everything is pretty much all hand made including fries. If you never had their fries you may be surprised at the difference in texture but you'll like it the more you try.

Ordered the Double-Double animal style, and yeah... it lives up to the hype. The patties taste fresh, not frozen, and you can tell they're made to order. The melted cheese, grilled onions, pickles, that sauce -- it's messy but balanced. Nothing feels overdone. It's just a really well-built burger. Fries get mixed opinions, but straight out of the fryer they're solid. Light, a little crispy, not overly greasy. Add a bit of salt and they're gone fast. Shake was thick, classic, no shortcuts there either. What stands out most is how consistent everything feels. The menu is simple, but that's the point -- they focus on doing a few things really well instead of trying to do everything. Service is quick, staff actually seem organized, and the place stays clean even when it's busy. It's one of those spots where you don't feel like you overpaid or got rushed through a line. You just get good food, made right, every time. Came in expecting fast food, left feeling like it's in its own category. Easy 5 stars -- and yeah, I'd go back without thinking twice.

Great portion size, good flavor, and all for $6.95. If you like fish ceviche, definitely recommend trying this. The burrito was amazing as usual, crazy how the flavor and quality has stayed the same over the past 20 years. Kudos to their entire team for keeping the traditions going. My parents ended up snagging my quesadilla and they were pleasantly surprised how much they enjoyed it (I wasn't lol). The quesadilla is HUGE. They pack that thing with so much shrimp and steak, it's well worth the $14.95. It also comes with sour cream and guacamole on the side. If you want something lighter but still want the great flavors, give the quesadilla a try!

Last weekend we stopped by in the morning to grab a quick breakfast before a round of golf and this gave me hope in McD's breakfast again. The biscuit on the sandwich was soft and buttery. The hash brown was super crispy. And the sausage mcmuffin was tasty. I got the biscuit sandwich free from points on the McD's app, which honestly is the only way to order at any McDonald's. From the customization, picking your correct amount of sauces, it's a must because they always got deals. If you are craving McDonald's and in the area (probably after a costco run), definitely not a bad location to check out.

Barely any meat on the sandwich either and almost inedible sourdough that is so tough to chew. Save yourself the trouble and go a couple doors down to Tianis the original little Lucas owners!!!!!

You charged $9.20 for two regular tacos and one bean burrito add sour cream and extra red sauce. I just want to note that you guys charge $.90 extra for a side of sour cream. You should honestly be ashamed of yourself. I don't know if it's the individual owner or the corporation that decides it, but regardless, you people are freaking ridiculous and your assholes for doing that. I would be embarrassed if I was you.

WTF is the actual thought process on this?! You guys are crooks. Here's the funniest part of my experience, the lady in the drive-through asked me how many sauces I wanted for my meal. I said seven or eight. I like sauce, don't judge. When I got back to work, not a single packet of sauce in sight. And my bean burrito that I ordered extra red sauce for, well they gave me the extra sauce on the side, but no sauce in my burrito. F you for that. And the $.90 they charged me for for the side of sour cream... No side of sour cream. You guys are horrible. It even says on the receipt Seven hot sauces. LOL. Another terrific part of this whole experience was not having a single napkin to go with my meal. I guess you have to pay for those too. I want to note that it wasn't busy nor was it extremely slow. There was about 3 cars ahead of me in the drive-through and a few cars in the parking lot. I mention this because if it's insanely busy then there has to be a forgiveness factor but this is just inexcusable, lazy, and bad business. For the amount of money that you guys are charging for your product only to NOT give people what they paid for?! You're scummy. Just straight up bad business.
