Carl's Jr. — Restaurant in Arnavutköy

Worst Carl’s Jr. Experience Ever – Avoid This Place at All Costs!

I had the absolute misfortune of ordering a Famous Star burger with fries and a drink at the Carl’s Jr. in Istanbul International Airport. They handed me a buzzer for my order, and despite the place being practically empty, it took them 15 minutes to prepare. Why? Because there was literally no one in the kitchen. Eventually, a staff member wandered in—looked like he had just returned from a restroom break—and only then did he start making my food.

When my order finally arrived, it was a complete disaster. The burger was flavorless, the patty was burned to a crisp, and the entire thing was inedible. The fries were even worse—rock hard, clearly re-cooked multiple times, and impossible to enjoy. I managed to choke down a few bites before giving up and tossing the rest in the trash.

To make matters worse, this sorry excuse for a meal cost me $22. For that price, I expected at least something edible. Instead, I got the worst fast-food experience of my life.

Do yourself a favor and eat anywhere else in the airport. This place is a disgrace to the Carl’s Jr. brand and an insult...

How bad can your food get that you want to give less than zero. The service staff had no manners, without wearing gloves, they (female) staff was touching each other hairs and then making burger or attending customers. The burger was like super mini version of what was in the picture. I had to ask twice that at least add 50% of what is displayed in the picture. Burger came too late bqz staff was busy playing and poking each other. Fries were cold and without salt. Burger had the most horrific Onion (unwashed) I ever experienced in any burger in entire life..

P.S. Company must think about staff attitude and hygienic environment..

Atmosphere (due to airport) was fine but no credit to...

RUN!!!! -10 🤢🤮 My stomach still hasn’t recovered from the dry, tasteless, paper thin, extremely expensive steakhouse burger. Somehow smothered in blue cheese, that made the burger bun look like it was growing a Petri dish of bacteria. The repeat of this monstrosity lasted a good 12 hours. After being served an incorrect order and having to go up to the counter a number of times to try and get our correct order, the nonchalant staff, Item and Yamuch just shrugged their shoulders as if to say ‘so what are you going to do about it?’. AVOID...
