Carl’s Jr. — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

Date: 2/27/2024 Time of day - Afternoon Order - Super Star with Cheese Combo (Small) Menu price - $10.39 Receipt price - $10.39 Tax - $.08 Paid $11.19 Good service from the cashier Wait time - less than 3 minutes The burgers were made to order and it was absolutely delicious. 2 beef patties with cheese on sesame seed buns. To include lettuce, tomato and pickles. It also comes with onions and special sauce but I wanted it without. Good presentation. It was well wrapped. French fries were fresh. Hot and nicely salted. Dining room was nice and quiet. Mop equipment was left out, must had a spill from earlier. Restaurant was clean, but it just needed a light sweep under some of the tables. Restrooms were constantly used. Parking lot is clean but a pothole seems to be growing from the recent rain near the driveway. Moderate parking. About less than 24 cars. A standalone restaurant. Will come...

Combo with ok and the has browns for $9.90. The dining area was clean and uncrowded, and the view out the window was of the tastefully landscaped area featuring succulents, well trimmed bushes and dark bark. The loaded burrito with pico de gallo salsa was warm and tasty.

Only bummer, when I sat down a was on the other side of a big “2 for $6” mix and match break fest special, yep for $2 more I could have had a second breakfast burrito or Sandwhich.

A pleasant...

Once at the speaker we sat another 10 minutes before anyone greeted us. Then we were told it would be a few more minutes. The guy at the drive thru window was actually very nice and seemed to understand things were not going good. Once we got our food my Burger had a 10" piece of lettuce sticking out from the burger, then the entire burger was covered in sauce. The wrapper, the outer bun, everything covered in sauce. I could tell that who ever made this burger could not care any less about the customer experience. Sux too cause the price they charge now you'd think they would want their customer's to be happy with the...
