This used to be a traditional stop for us on our way home from Pismo to Fresno. The last time we went, recently, the food was outrageously expensive and not cooked well. Way too much grease, not hot, not salty, and the order was wrong (1 patty, instead of 2). The cashier accidentally charged the driver in front of us for our order, which was nearly $40 for 2 meals. His was $28 for just 2 items. It was insanely priced. Instead of charging us for his, as a wash, the manager wanted to charge me my full price. Meaning they would've made extra off their mistake. I finally convinced them to have me pay for his, since he paid for ours. To add insult to injury, we were the only car at the menu to order, and it took so long. Flying bugs surrounding the outside and weeds overgrown, looks like a ghost town in that parking lot...I see why. We won't be back.

Carl’s Jr. Kettleman City, CA The worst fast food experience I’ve ever had… and easily the most expensive. I paid $27 for a crispy chicken sandwich combo that was a complete disaster. For that price, I could’ve eaten at a sit-down restaurant and actually gotten flavor, service, and value.
The sandwich was thrown together like an afterthought, the bun fell apart halfway through, the chicken was lukewarm, and the fries? Cold, greasy, and soggy. Even the soda tasted off, how do you mess up a fountain drink?
To top it off, I waited 15 minutes for my food in an almost empty restaurant. I watched my tray sit on the counter while employees wandered around ignoring it. No one called my number, no one cared.
The bathroom smelled like it hadn’t been cleaned in days.
Our trip stop at this location was a pleasure the employees were so nice and friendly my food was fresh and hot,the interior looks great all clean including the bathrooms.

9:40pm December 23. Wanted to go inside as it says open until 10pm. Doors were locked and girl cleaning. I went through the drive thru instead. First..I eat too many famous stars with cheese to begin with. But my point is I know how they should taste and how I should feel after eating one. Something was off with this one. It didn't taste bad . Just no flavor. Well.. here we are 48 hours later and I still have a bug and diarrhea! It started at 2am that night and I had to rush in the bathroom in the middle of the night after going to bed. Not good!! Maybe I'll take this as a sign to lay off the fast food for the new year. Thanks CJs.

We both got Famous Stars, and they were not even warm. No wonder there wasn't anyone else in there.

Had an amazing experience here, beings that I travel all the time! The employees were super sweet and patient with me, I ended up getting a double western combo with jalapeños and extra onion rings, my food was fresh and tasted amazing. The venue itself takes me back to classic as it is an old building, it’s absolutely comforting to me! I love the air freshener they have in the restroom, the bathrooms are clean so that’s always nice, they have Christmas music going on currently if you’re interested in that. It just brings the holidays together when you’re traveling alone.

The hours listed on Google and Yelp say it’s open 24 hours on Fridays, but it’s wrong. Stopped by around 3am and it’s definitely closed.
Ordered ahead on the app when I got there the lady said she cancelled the order, I ordered 30 min ahead on the app and she said I could only get the fries

The price is outrageous. $11 for a chicken sandwich and $20 for that combo…

Sylvia is very helpful and kind
Great service
Food poisoning.
Never again.
Didn’t receive waffle fries, tried calling, nobody answers. Only voicemail. Guess I’ll try corporate.
