Carl’s Jr. — Restaurant in La Verne

Bottom line - For the price, you will be much happier going to a Red Robin for an actual restaurant burger.

Full review: I would like to present to you...the Carls Jr. Guacamole Burger Signature Thick Burger 1/3lb of luscious 100% angus beef topped with pepper jack cheese, Angus sauce and spicy guacamole. Wash that sucker down with some fresh-cut potatoes fries and guilt-free diet Coke.

Is your mouth watering yet? What if I told you that this meal cost me $11.49 not including tax?

But this is supposed to be a restaurant style burger right? Right. Except it wasn't. It was a fast food attempt at a restaurant style burger.

So was it a good burger? Depends, by what standard? If we are comparing it to other fast food places then yes, this is a great burger!

If we compare it to it's comparatively priced restaurant siblings...then no, no it is not.

The Good: The guacamole - spicy and quite thick. Mmm The bun - Brioche style restaurant style was tasty The cheese and sauce - love the spicy pepper jack

The Bad: The price - $11.49 for a small combo! Yikes! The beef - Although thicker than normal fast food patties I wish it was jucier, felt a little overcooked.

If you can spare the $12 bucks for fast food (I can't believe it's that expensive) give this a try. See what YOU...

Went to order my food the young lady (receipt says Alexandra) taking my order was very rude! I ordered crisscut fries and she only gave me normal fries charging me for cross cut. I try ordering a large Oreo shake (offered on the menu) she said we don’t have Oreo, changed it to a large chocolate shake (on the menu), and she said we are out of whip cream, I said that’s fine and the order screen showed large shake and criss cut fries. Once I pulled up to the window I see a tiny cup smaller than a small, that she’s making the shake in. I questioned the size and she said we only have one size. I get there have been a shortage of cups and they could have run out of large cups but that should have been said before - the price for the shake was way too much for a tiny cup. I could barely hear her on the intercom and at the window not because of a mask but because she seemed annoyed at the questions and not having an easy order - it’s not the customers fault the menu isn’t fully available AND it’s not the employees either. Not the best experience and frustrating and food was not exactly hot when we got it...

I have visited this place twice and won't be returning. The first time was alright, but the cashier was rude and rushed me. As soon as I walked in, he asked, "What do you want?" without giving me time to think. The menu was confusing, and I had to go online to find the kids' meal because it wasn't listed.

During my second visit, I encountered the same cashier. I was trying to use the app to redeem a free welcome burger, but he interrupted me and suggested a burger deal instead, which I didn't want. The deal didn't start until 5 PM, and it was only 2 PM. When I told him this, he raised his voice and said, "OKAY!"

When he tried to scan my phone for the QR code, it didn't work. He took my phone to the back to show someone else and told me to wait 15 minutes. After waiting, he tried again, but it still didn't work, and he said, "I don't know, dude," in an annoying way.

I left with no money and went to Del Taco instead, where I got two free tacos. They need to fix their scanner and improve their customer service. I won't be...
