“Hot fudge sundae! Delicious!“

“This place is bomb. A coworker recommended it. I walked in and told the girl in line behind us to go ahead because we had never been there before. She said me either! And we all laughed about that. This place is cool tho. Laid back vibe, friendly employees. The burger…probably the best I have ever had, no joke. This is exactly how I like them. A real smash burger with crispy edges. Double was $8 and it comes with grilled onion, bacon, cheese, sauce and you can add a lot of other stuff. Fries were perfect, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and good seasoning. When we left we said thanks and the guy in the back said “hey see you guys tomorrow?” I was like…yeah lol…cause he might. If not tomorrow we will for sure be back very soon. Give this place a chance, you won’t be sorry.“

“Love to bring the family here for breakfast. Have been coming here for years especially on Saturday mornings. Food is delicious. Lunch and dinner are good too. Burgers are fire. My only complaint is the drive-through always has been, the cashiers or the workers are not too nice and sometimes just plain rude or have some kind of attitude. I don’t understand why maybe it’s just dealing with people.“

“Good food, fast friendly service and great prices. We had a large party ordered 2 pizzas, 2 Rubens and a double cheese burger and zucchini fries. The food was great and ready super fast. The service was very friendly. Definitely will be our new go to on the mountain. Huge menu with lots of varieties, something for everyone. Overall great experience, would recommend. 👍“

I also love that they are using Diego's special Thousand Island dressing from the epic and famous Vegan Korner, which we visit every week. The burger was great and the service was fast.“

I'll be back soon!
I went to the location on 1505 E. HIGHLAND AVE
in San Bernadino, Ca.“

“My first time visiting. I was amazed at how fresh the ingredients in the food were. I had the chicken soup which was the BEST I have ever eaten. An entire boneless chicken breast in the broth with potatoes, corn on the cob, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Served with a side of Spanish rice that I added to the soup. Delightful.

I also had the shrimp ceviche tostada that was incredibly fresh and delicious. And the corn tortilla that it was served on never got soggy!

Home and mother’s cooking at its best. For a small hole-in-the-wall place, the food is better than most high-end restaurants!

The menu shows both the cash and card prices, so bring cash and get a discount.“

“I truly appreciate Chelsea, she handled my food order with so much ease. She is very professional, friendly, pleasant to talk to and attentive. I look forward to going back and hopefully she will assist me again. She is a fine representative of your business.Thank you again Chelsea.“

“hello ....I stopped in for the avocado toast breakfest the other day....the meal was excellent and the service was great...highly recommend....“

“got a recommendation from a friend who recently tried this place out for the first time and i'll say... i def agree with him. the one that i ordered was large enough for two people. i forget the name of it but it had grilled cheese as the buns...check it out“

“Service was quick. You have an extensive menu to satisfy your appetite. As soon as you bite down on your burger, you get the smell and taste of delicious thousand island! The hamburgers are well done and tasty. I got some chili cheese fries as well, which were not to my liking. The chili was sweet, the cheese ratio was good, and fries were good. Both crunchy and those soft wiggly ones which are good. The pastrami sandwich was packed and had good flavor. The pastrami itself wasn't chewy and recommend it.“

“Oh my god that food was like having a party in my mouth. Best hamburger I've ever had. The bacon. Cheeseburger had thick pieces of bacon on it. The smell by itself was wonderful. I also had fried zucchini. I don't think I'm overstateing how good and fresh the food was. I'd eat there again today. They have a wide variety of good Mexican and American. They even have a drive through. A must try place to eat.😋“

“Excellent food! The burgers here are truly gourmet. The Staley Special Burger and the Caribbean Burger are absolutely top-notch—packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The chef is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. This spot is a hidden gem in Sky Forest. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and delicious meal!“

“If you call in advance about a large party... please check in a week before & then a day before event. They do take reservations for large parties. So they can can properly staff in advance.
I dropped the ball on reconfirming the original information I was given concerning mid to large party events. So there was a misunderstanding/ miscommunication between me & the staff person I originally spoke with, however, the staff did a great job at accommodating our large birthday party of 14 ppl with 5 more added on last minute.
I do believe we were a bit overwhelming, but the end result was good. It was a full house tonight & the staff handled every obstacle like champs. Thanks you guys!“

“Delicious Mexican food & cold drinks“

“parking is spacious, lovely place.“

“So I wanted to let everyone one know who love salads ,this is the best place for A Crispy Chicken Salad ? so good I have tried several different locations Gus jr's and different city's this is the best place The Gus Jr's on waterman in San Bernardino CA for a fresh Salad I truly recommend the Crispy Chicken Salad got to try applauses to the workers " In my personal opinion the food is amazing" all the menu items are yummy and with inflation has still managed to be affordable ? Thank You AllExcuse the Ranch in the picture I had already put on“

“Buen servició esta rica la comida“

“First time trying Jacks as I’m not really from this area and my bf recommended it.. kinda felt a little rushed at the drive thru, but other than that it was okay. The food isn’t really all that exciting as people make it out to be be.. it was pretty decent tho.“

“Great vegetarian options. However the physical menu board was just replaced. The vegetarian options are not listed on the board. This location finder came up with the correct street and address numbers. But, it was listed as Highland Park, SC instead of Highland CA.“

“This mc donalds has got to have the stupidest employees on the planet. I dont know if they are messing with me but I just now went and I SPECIFICALLY told the cashier guy and the guy at the window how they frequently give me unsweetened team it happens so much it has to be on purpose because all these different people surely can't be so incompetent as to keep messing up a single drink order. I wish somewhere else had a large drink for $1“

“First time, and it was pretty decent. My husband got the combo breakfast burrito and i got the swiss combo burger that had avocado and bacon in it. It was pretty good. Came with onion rings also which was a shocker bc most places do not give you onion rings AND fries so that was awesome“

“Finally, another good Carl’s Jr. location, this location by far is the best location I’ve been to in years they cook the patties fresh. They put large onion rings on the western burger as well as enough barbecue sauce to make it taste the way it should.. the buns are perfectly fluffed and enriched to taste . The strips of bacon are fresh , the burger was neatly put together. This is the Western burger that people desire when we come to Carl’s Jr. and pay premium for a burger. We expect premium thank you.“
