Chris at this location is a great, hard worker and I always see him multitasking with many responsibilities at once, while still providing fast service. The location is well hidden and a little old, but the workers here are great.

It is a very quiet place with very friendly employees. The food is prepared at the moment.
Vegetarian options: Let them return the one they had previously for vegetarians and the six dollars. Also.

I frequently place large catering orders at Carl’s Jr. for my team, typically ordering 20 value meals. The food is always fresh, hot, and the order is consistently accurate. Despite the size of the order, the service is impressively fast, and the staff remains friendly and efficient. The quality of the burgers and the reliability of the service make Carl’s Jr. our go-to choice for team meals. Highly recommended this location!!
