Carl’s Jr. — Restaurant in Clearlake

Food is priced right, only if you buy the 2 for $8.99 though. Fries and sodas are a huge rip off. And very healthy. I never get combos, save your arteries and heart.

Plus side is that they will sometimes make the sandwiches with pride. I have to ask for “EZ sauce” in order for them not to hand me a sloppy mess (and sometimes they still do) But this restaurant is definitely better than the McDonald’s across the street.

In general, I’ve fallen out of love with fast food prices for the following reasons:

Very unhealthy levels of sodium, fats, sugars and carbs. The food is not “fast” the fries are bland and overpriced. Very few “healthy” snacks or sides. Everything is “fried” ; Eating fast food will cause you to become obese and have many health problems Extremely high prices that keep going higher. Employees who hate their lives (and therefore their jobs) and do not take pride In What they do for a living. This results in sloppy sandwiches and angry humans. I do not like dealing with sloppy sandwiches or angry humans. They are no longer “fast”… any time that you save ordering food from a fast food restaurant is lost when you die years earlier from diabetes, obesity and other health-problems related to eating food that is HORRIBLE for you and full of preservatives, sodium, fats and...

March 21st: Payed $9 for a Santa fe chicken wrapped in lettuce (with a bunch of bugs in it, on way out of town. (Upon opening item, there were a bunch of tiny bugs all over in the lettuce.) Throw item out and try to call restaurant. Phone number does not work.

Upon getting back into town, go to Carl's Jr to tell them what happened. Show picture. Was offered a refund by (presumably manager), but me trying to be nice just said, "no, a replacement Santa fe chicken would be fine." He walks away. Another girl talks to (presumably manager) then eventually comes to register. I tell her what item. "$9+" she says. I repeated to her, confused, "$9?" She confirms, again asking for the $. I honestly didn't even know what to say, as I had gone in there just trying to rectify the gross bug incident in a calm manner, get a replacement (hopefully BUG FREE) item, because I'd preferred this place to McDonalds and didn't want to cause a stink and end up looking like some whole a** Karen.

I was disappointed. No wonder this place is rarely busy. I get it now. LITERAL bugs in the food, and they couldn't care less. Who's running this place?

I HATE writing negative reviews,...

The radio in the dining room was not TUNED. It was annoying to my ears because of all the static! Poltergeist static, not the music band just to be clear. I asked the young man to fix it or turn it off and he said he would check with his manager. After a few minutes I then asked the man at the food prep area who handed us the order and he said he wasn't allowed to touch it (the radio). I thought that he was saying that because of the food handling but then I observed him change his gloves several times for miscellaneous reasons. Then I asked the fella at the counter again if he could check with someone. He immediately stopped what he was doing and asked the line cook who I had just spoke with. 2 stars because that's what we ordered. "Famous." They were good. No complaints about the food. 1 star because the young fella at the counter that was also managing the drive through orders this evening, was a star! He is quick and has good social skills. The manager that also was the line cook was good at the food side but lacked patience and good common sense. Assuming he is not deaf and was not...
