This is the most wonderful restaurant I have ever seen.A dozen guests were waiting for food, only one of the four shop assistants was busy, and the other three were actually chatting there

Never stepped inside, but drive-through service is always welcoming in the morning. If you haven't, try the Steak n Egg breakfast burrito. If you're not much for burritos, then try the breakfast burger......booomb!!!

I've loved carl's jr since I've been a teenager have to have it periodically a super star with cheese and another one of there other bugers such as a western bacon just a note if you want a super star is a double famous star now when you order sorry to best friend in texas it's better than whatta bugers so if your visiting from there go give it a try no disrespect
