Il Vecchio Monterey Reviews
This Carl's Jr. is conveniently located and the food is consistently good. My chicken sandwich was served quickly. The employee who helped me made sure that I had everything I needed for my order to go. Also, this location always has clean restrooms, which makes visiting this restaurant a pleasant experience.
I got some coupons in the mail and decided to try it out since I'm not from the West Coast. The food hit the spot after a good workout at the gym. The employees are friendly and hard-working. Another thing to note is that if you are not in a rush, eating inside is not too bad. But if you are, the drive-thru is the way to go!
We like very much this place. Good quality and price. Also they just renewed their design. Magui is very kind! And other stuff also always nice 🙂
Kenny was the manager working during our visit to the Monterey location, and she is fabulous! I felt like I was at a sit down restaurant with five star service. Not use to receiving service like that in a fast food restaurant. I appreciate her and your organization is very fortunate to have her!
The young man, Juan, working behind the counter today was FANTASTIC! He was super polite, thorough and was hustling to handle, by himself, all the customers in the restaurant. VERY impressed with him. This restaurant is fortunate to employ him!
Ashley and the crew nailed it in every aspect. She helped me get my coupons used, made sure my burger was actually well done, the place looked great and the rest of the order was accurate. Timely and exceptional.
Thank you Magui for the cleanliness and friendliness of your staff! We really appreciated having lunch at your restaurant! Very close to the aquarium, a fast and easy meal! With the rewards we even got free food!
Closed now due to a fire. (Someone allegedly left the gas on). So, go to Seaside location, it's really nice, lots of types of seating. Friendly staff. Takes EBT now (Food stamps).
I have missed Carl's Jr burgers, they are the best out of All the fast food places. Broiled so still juicy and they use real onions, tomatoes and lettuce on them so you actually taste them! Sauce is also yummy 😋 I had a small fry with my Star burger and a strawberry shake. The fries were cut with the skin on and taste like real french fries 🍟 And that strawberry shake was made with real ice cream and was fantastically delicious 😋 I can't recommend Carl's Jr enough 🙌
The spicy chicken burger are juicy to have. Also try their fries which will taste natural and wont be like some other artificial one where we usually get. Also try their milkshake varieties which is good to have for milkshake lovers. The staffs are also quite nice.
I tried their new sliders mini hamburgers and it was delicious ! It came with small fries, small soda and a chocolate cookie
Sandwiches look like the photos!!! Tasty and not greasy. Dining area and bathroom could have been cleaner.
I wanted something with mushrooms but there wasn't anything. So I asked for a recommendation. They said the Gauc Burger. I don't eat bacon 🥓 and don't love avocado 🥑 so I asked for that removed and guacamole reduced. Asked them if the burger would still be good and he said yes. So I ordered and... Yup. It was amazing. Not only was the food great but the kind service was everything.
Burger was juicy and tasty. Bathroom was dirty and freezing (no heat in there). The restaurant wasn't very clean.
I’ve always loved this Carl’s Jr location. The employees are super friendly and always deliver to your table, which is great for fast food. My most recent visit I got to see the “remodeling” they did to the interior. They made a great store completely inferior. All the comfortable seating has been replaced with dark tables and chairs. They managed to cut the dining room in half and lose 70% of their seating. There are large areas with no seats. There is no music inside at all. Super disappointing, it’s like eating in a jail cell. There are no power outlets, the year is 2024 and they are creating a space that is inferior to the Starbucks across the street. The Carls Jr 5 miles away went through a refresh recently too. They added small couches to the eating area and bright inviting colors. This Carl’s Jr did a disservice to their store by making it wholly inferior. If they can bring better seating to the dining room and music back we may see it get better. But for now I no longer will make this a stop in my journey lv.
17 bucks for santa fe chicken combo with fried zuchini. I had to throw some of it out because it was gross. The zucchini must have been sitting under a heat lamp for hours, please see the pictures. The sandwich was OK. The diet coke tasted a bit like chemicals. Like anyone in the drivethru at lunch, I don't have the time to go back. This would be a lot of money for a sandwich and fried zucchini even if it was of high quality but this has to be the worst Carl's Jr food I have ever had. I was swindled. 17 bucks for this. It's my fault for going to a chain fast food place in downtown PG\Monterey when there are so many restauraunts around where 17 bucks will go very far. I will avoid this place from now on.
Building 🏢 has extensive fire 🔥 damage, not currently open. Interesting that the owner followup wants a url filled out to see why the dissatisfaction occurred. Google still says the business is opened, local news 📰 shared the fire damage and closure, owner should be more in touch with the business and read the feedback, and mark it as temporarily closed so folks don't waste time going there. Update, saw the business is now temporarily closed on Gmaps.
Today, this Carls lost a customer. I’ll drive farther to get their awesome food. Their food is pricey, sure, but the quality is worth it. However, my drive through person today was in a bad mood and gave me the follow f chocolate shake filled up only half way through. When I asked her to fill it up, she said that was all I was getting Wow!
Today’s Update: Today, The Carl’s Jr was now demolished because of that fire on Last April, I’m sorry guys to here that, but now this restaurant is now closed!
I ordered a Diablo burger triple and with a sprite and fries large and the lady I don't know how gave me a western burger. And on top of that I order a 6 piece jalapeño poppers and still she ask me 6 or 8 piece and she never added them to my order. We were in a hurry and didn't check the receipt till we got to our destination.im disappointed for the service given to us In this carls jr
