Carl’s Jr. — Restaurant in Lacey

I ask, “Hi – can I have a kids cheeseburger?”

She says “Did you want a Deluxe Blammo Burger with Extra Buzz-sauce?” …or something.

“No, just a kids cheeseburger.” I repeat. “Whatever the most basic thing you have is.” “So you want a kids meal?”

“No – just a really basic burger – Bun, meat, ketchup and cheese. That’s it.”

“Ok. One Deluxe Blammo Burger. Is that it?”

“Yes, just the basic burger.”

….Silence….

“Hello?”

“$2.26. Come up”

Huh… weird…

I pull up to the window and a young woman stands with the drive through window exactly halfway open. One eye peeks past the open window pane, while the rest of her face is shrouded in mystery behind the ajar sliding window. She wears a coat, a visor, and a large set of headphones. It is 90 degrees outside. She does not acknowledge that I have pulled up to the window. She stands silent, peering out with one eye… looking somewhere, but not at me. She wanders off momentarily.

Returning to her obscured position at the window after a few minutes, she speaks “$2.26.”

I hand her a $10 bill. I can see the small bag, presumably containing my son’s cheeseburger, sitting on top of the register. She offers my change.

I put out my hand and she drops the money into it too quickly. The coins clatter on the hot pavement. She does not acknowledge this, returning to her silent hiding place behind the ajar window. She hands the bag from the register to me, and I hand it to my son. She mutters something mostly unintelligible, but I think I hear “You…”

I ask “Sorry, what was that?” as I open the car door to collect the change she dropped on the ground.

“Oh nothing, you’re good.” She replies, staring at the register, and waving me off with her hand.

“No, what was it again?”

“No, you’re good.”

“I know I’m good.” I say, getting back into my car after collecting the change. “But what did you say?”

Annoyed, she says “I just said you can help them out by leaving a google review. But never mind. You’re good.”

I nod and put the car into drive. Someone yells from inside “THANK YOU! HAVE A NICE DAY!” I drive away, relieved to be free of this place.

But here I am leaving a google review about the weirdest Carls Jr.

5 stars for original presentation and overall weird vibes. 0 stars for basic execution of social...

Giving one star, mainly because I have to in order to write a review, if I had the option to give 0, I would.

I have never written a review, good or bad, nor rated any place 1 star. But this place was the icing on the cake for me to write this review.

My mom was on her way home from work, very busy day so no time for cooking at home so she stopped at Carls Jr for a quick, simple dinner. Now mind you, my family and I have not had Carls Jr. since we lived in Dickinson, North Dakota 5 years ago and that place was actually good so we thought we would try it here since it had been so long. So, for starters, my mom said she’s glad she checked the food before she got back on the road because they forgot two of the chicken sandwiches. How..does that even happen? That’s TWO WHOLE sandwiches! Anyway..My mom got home with the food and it smelled good and we were all hungry, we each got what we ordered only to take one bite and put it to the side. The chicken sandwiches were super dry and zero flavor, my dad and I ordered the Monster angus thickburger, my dads sandwich tasted like they dumped the whole salt shaker on it, not to mention the grease literally running down his arms, while mine had no flavor and was dry with hard, tough buns, my mom ordered just a regular cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and all the good stuff and hers didn’t even taste like a burger. It almost tasted like that vegetarian “impossible whopper” meat, ech, gross. And to top it all off, the fries were not only cold and sad looking, but they tasted STALE. $63 thrown away and 6 of us going to bed hungry. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my dead ancestors. Super...

Just want to say I'm very disappointed! Where's my order a beyond BBQ Burger because I am vegan with no cheese with a large onion ring. However once I arrived home eyewitness that my beyond Burger wasn't in the bag. Mind you I live 15 minutes away so I decided to drive back with my receipt and tell them that I did not have the beyond BBQ in the bag. Or the large onion they gave me a large fry instead. One side right back to the restaurants she said that she could not give me the onion ring because I didn't return the fry no one is and have worked in the fast food establishment I know you cannot return items that you already had left the counter. She states that have to return the fries so they could count that as a loss and then give me my Onion, as you can see from the other photo that is not a beyond BBQ Burger mind you that's the second time I went up there this is a beyond famous star Burger which has mayo which as everyone knows vegans cannot have Mayo that's why I opted for the beyond BBQ Burger so they messed up twice in a row and just for whoever is reading is the jalapeno poppers it's for my friend which they messed up on his order to and he didn't receive his cookies until I went up there complaining I don't understand how hard is it to follow directions but they want more money for working at a fast-food establishment. they should have just did the responsible thing fixing my order I'm taking this up to corporate I usually don't do this but fair is fair along with...
