in my 25 plus times going to the states i never went to a carl’s jr. my local carls was only two streets away but every one i talked to said the food was shit so i never went there.. a year ago i went past a new fast food building getting built and i noticed it was going to be carls jr,
i have been there about 8 times and now i avoid the place, burger king is far better,, carls jr cannot even cook onion rings,, every time they over cook them so they are dark and dry,, my jalapeno burger was so dry, i think they might have left out a sauce, my big complaint is there super slow drive in, last week i was the only car in the drive in but i had to wait 15 minutes to get my food,, i usually time how long they take . two other times i waited 20 minutes, you might think that is slow but my buddy went inside,, he was second in line and it took 30 minutes before he came out to my car.. some of there staff need to learn to say hello or thank you,

my conclusion is stick with wendy’s or burger king

Tried my first experience with Carl’s Jr yesterday 19th Feb,and I was amazed. The layout was fantastic, and all the little extras they provide you with is so impressive. And there burgers oh my goodness. There to die for. I really loved my Western burger, my fries and chicken wedges. I’m going there again tonight to try there chicken Burger’s and my mouth is watering already. Awe and look out for the little lemon wedges you can have with your drink. They think of every thing! Brilliant! Thanks Carl’s Jr. I’m a huge fan!

Arguably the best fast food burger in New Zealand. They don’t have the full menu you can get in America, but they have imported all of the highlights plus a few things you can’t get anywhere else.

The most unique thing to on the menu are the breakfast biscuit sandwiches. Poorly named for the kiwi palate, these actually taste like a very light and moist savoury scone with bacon, egg and cheese inside. Yum. On the regular menu, swap the fries for deep fried courgette with a side of ranch dipping sauce. Or try the ‘waffle cut’ fries.

Normally when I eat here I don’t count the calories, but the last time I went I finally tried the Santa Fe Chicken burger which was grilled and on a wheatmeal bun. Not exactly ‘health food’ but still a bit less fatty than a cheeseburger.

The best thing about Carl’s Jr is their fries. Skin-on. They taste AMAZING!

Second best thing is the Portobello mushroom burger.
I haven’t found another burger that I would rave about at Carl’s Jr. But the first meal I had there, we were both blown away by the flavours of chips & burgers.

Second time we went, we ordered different burgers… and they were a bit average.

But I would have given 5 stars if I was just rating the Portobello mushroom burger and the fries.

Interesting to see the queues out the door and drive-thru cars lining up down the street when (and since) they opened their doors like a month ago. The owners did super-well with their positioning here. I feel a bit sorry for McDonalds in Glen Innes… will they survive?!
