We expected a quick fast food stop so we could relax a bit in the car before heading to our next…read moredestination, but this ended up being one of the slowest drive-thru experiences we've had. There were only two cars ahead of us, yet it took over 20 minutes just to reach the payment window. At one point, a single car didn't move for more than 10 minutes. Once we finally got to the window, the staff member seemed extremely low-energy while processing payment, and after paying, there was still another long wait for the food. To be fair, the food did come out very fresh and hot, which we appreciated. However, the overall experience was frustrating because we were on a schedule and got completely trapped in the drive-thru line with no way to leave midway. This honestly felt like the standard operating pace for this particular Wendy's in Cle Elum. If you're not in a rush, the wait might not bother you as much. But if you have another stop or a tight schedule afterward, I'd strongly recommend planning extra time. Based on our experience, expect roughly 10+ minutes per car in line.

I am reaching out to bring to your attention a disappointing experience I had with my weekly online…read moreorder at the Cle Elum location on May 5th, 2026, at 6:54pm. Upon arriving to collect my food, I discovered the front door was locked, which was unexpected and confusing since there was no notice or signage indicating any change in procedure. I tried to contact the establishment by phone but only encountered a busy dial tone. After waiting for 20 minutes, I finally managed to reach a representative at the restaurant via phone. Unfortunately, their response was unprofessional and difficult to understand, as they spoke broken English. I was informed that the front door was closed and that I needed to use the drive-through to collect my order. This was surprising, as I had placed an "online order" and did not realize that the drive-through was the only option for pick-up. There was no sign or communication indicating this process for the evening. When I requested a refund due to the inconvenience and confusion, the representative refused and explained that they could not assist me further. I also asked to speak to a manager, but was told that the representative was the only person working. Given these circumstances, I feel compelled to discontinue visiting this location, despite having been a loyal customer who frequented it at least once a week. My credit card was charged $52.42 for an order I was unable to collect. I have tried contacting your main headquarters a few times now to request a refund and all communication goes unanswered. I hope this business chain takes these concerns seriously !

Second review of this place by me…read more Top notch...again! I've reviewed this particular Carl's Jr. in the past, but it deserves a second review. Whether it's traveling back and forth for family visits, or moving across and out of state, this particular one has been our go-to when we stop in Ellensburg. The place is always clean when we stop in, the food always tastes perfect, and we have never once to date encountered a single crew member who wasn't top tier awesome! From making sure our orders are right, to making sure we know what deals they have, they're on top of things. This is our favorite Carl's Jr. anywhere in the country, hands down...and we will be back. Thanks for being awesome! (I didn't catch their names, but it's 8 August and about 3:15 p.m.)

We ordered at the walk-up window, but the drive thru was equally slow (the order mic is only one car behind the pickup window, so they can't possibly queue/prep more than two drive thru orders at a time). - the burgers were all (4) cooked about five minutes past well done. They were hard to bite, hard to chew, and hard to swallow. Condiments helped, but not enough. Maybe this is (part of) why orders were taking so long. - the tater tots were beyond crispy - there was no potato left in them. It was fun for the first couple of tots, but then it had a really artificial feel to it - like those french fries that you buy in the potato chip bags. We regretted stopping here, and very much doubt that we will ever be back.

The staff members are absolutely sweet, and as a major bonus for anyone coming off the trail, the restrooms are spotless. They have a fantastic selection of wraps and sandwiches, and everything we ordered was hit. The chicken pesto wrap was super flavorful and fresh, while the Santa Fe wrap had a perfect kick of flavor. The Peoh point sandwich was hearty and delicious, and the new girl salad wrap was light, crisp, and refreshing. I also love the fact that every single meal comes with your choice of a side of sliced apples or chips. It is such a nice, thoughtful touch. Whether you need an energy boost before heading up the mountain or a place to unwind and recharge afterward, this place hits the spot every time!

The workers are super friendly and welcoming, and the decor is very cozy and home-y. I will absolutely return here for a meal next time I'm driving through Cle Elum.
