I'll be back soon!
I went to the location on 1505 E. HIGHLAND AVE
in San Bernadino, Ca.“
“This place was very chill. I was very impressed by how nice the manager was. I think he was the manager. He even brought out the food to us with the ketchup packets and napkins, and asked if we needed anything else. I'm old school and to experience that was amazing to me. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. He even knew I needed the code to the restroom before I had a chance to ask. That man is on top of it!! Thank you!!“
“I went for an early dinner after work, but before 5pm. Quick in and out through the drive through. Wanted to try the Cali XL and it was yummy, just like everything else at Carl's lol. The grilled onions was a nice touch and this is Carl's Jr answer to the Double Double from Inn n Out. It's a great burger and I will be eating it again, but still doesn't beat a Double Double in my opnion. I love my crunch and grilling the bun is something that might make the burger a tid bit better - like Inn n Out does. That being said I am also a big fan of the $5 burgers (no longer on my local menu) and have only found comparable burgers to this at sit down restaurants - All of these burgers are great... but the burgers are no longer $5, and sadly I no longer see them on the menu. (Look for the purple onion in them if they ever bring them back)“
“I’ve been at this location every time. Great hot fresh food never had any issues when they open the drive-through window. The cars that are going through. They are smoking marijuana and that’s probably what you’re smelling. Because this location is the best location I’ve ever gone to. There is no way that you were getting stale food. I rate this a five star rating.“
“Perla provided good service during my visit!
She was friendly, fast, and made sure everything was perfect with my order. The food was fresh and delicious, and the whole place was clean and welcoming. Perla made the experience even better with her positive attitude and attention to detail. I’ll definitely be coming back—thank you, Perla!“
