Carl's Jr. San Jose Reviews
I love that they customize my burger exactly how I like it—fresh lettuce right on top every time. The food is consistently cooked to the same solid standard you’d expect from any Carl's Jr. location, which makes each visit reliable and satisfying. The fries this time were a real highlight—hot, steamy, and perfectly cooked. The salt was just right, and they had that ideal balance of crisp on the outside while staying tender and chewable inside, never stiff or dry. It’s those little details that make a big difference in the overall experience. Overall, the combination of a freshly prepared burger, flavorful fries, and consistent quality makes this spot a dependable choice when you’re craving classic fast food done well. It’s the kind of meal that hits every time, leaving you satisfied and happy.
Great food at a better price. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Love going here
I luv this place cuz thrre fast and the food is hot n fresh. Also they always serve milkshakes anytime of the nite I've been at mid night 2am n 5 am never been turned down for a milkshake . The other stores are always closed for cleaning late nite
Carls Jr is Underrated!!!! Literally the best burgers!! I just got the Cali XL combo and it was so good I think I might have to come back tomorrow.
As far as Carl's jrs go, this one's good.
This location was the first I've seen to implement AI in the drive-thru. I was actually really impressed with how well it took my order and got it correct, Even with making some substitutions in the order. I haven't been inside in a long time to see how clean it is but the staffing is pretty nice in the drive-thru.
We went through drive thru after seeing Jelly Roll in concert and the woman who took our order was so polite and very patient! Food was a little pricey, but after we ate, it was worth it! We both got the Western Bacon combo with cross cut fries and pink lemonade. It was all fresh and hot and yummy! Thanks! 🙃
Clean open space with plenty of lighting and parking and the gas station just next door. You can also easily access the freeway north or south to the 101. Safe and secure with plenty of lighting at night. Staff was friendly and welcoming I did not feel rushed or to expedite my order. Employee recorded my order precisely and efficiently. Plenty of ketchup and napkins with nothing missing. King restroom and clean dining area with plenty of seating and baby seats. Automatic refreshment dispenser with a broad array of flavors. Drive-thru went quickly did not have to wait that much at all. The food was cooked to a standard that all Carl's Jr are upheld too. Sometimes fries may come a little under heated but this time the fries came out hot and steamy. Salt content with light and fry was chewable and not stiff. Nice golden fries. The mustard and ketchup on the hamburger with smeared on the meat correctly and not dripped or ran over outside the bun. Unlike other places chicken nuggets were cooked through and through. Great place to take a bite rest a little and have a good time with your family.
I enjoy eating the waffle fries at Carl's Jr and I had the crispiest waffle fries at good location. I also ordered the jalapeño Angus burger which was loaded and delicious as always. This locatio…
Jalapeno chicken sw without cheese. First time into a CJR in 20y. Was good!
Lived the special burger deal, was fresh and tasty
I rarely eat hamburgers but get the occasional craving for Carl's Jr. The jalapeno burger was AMAZING. It was hot, had the perfect amount of grease, and the bun and toppings were fresh. I had to take off a star because the app told me I had to go inside to pick up the food but when I arrived, the doors were locked. I went through the drive thru and was told they were closed. When I told them I had an online order they had me pull forward to the window then they started to actually make my food. The food was worth the additional wait this time but the experience was odd and slightly irritating. Not the restaurant's fault but the security company that patrols the shopping center felt it was necessary to drive circles around my car while I was eating and stopped to take a photo with their cell phone of me eating before driving away. No idea why they would do that but I returned the favor before leaving the area in hopes of showing them how it feels to have a stranger randomly take their photo.
Picked up a late dinner here on a Monday cuz I told my bf that the dollar he won at bingo night would only buy him one chicken star (which he had never tried before). And I was right, a nine-piece …

Food was okay. Nothing to put it on the map but it was the only spot open super late
If without coupons, I may not ever stop here for a meal(to-go). Only have one customer besides me at 5:30 PM on a Monday evening! One person is taking order and one person working in the back and they do quickly produced my order within about 5 minutes! Beer burger tasted okay, but I can’t say the same for chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was dry and very salty. Not even worth of buy one get one free! Stay with famous stars burger for sure next time if there is one.

I like Carl's Jr over most of the other fast food joints. Their burgers are meatier and the sides are better too. I got the Big Angus which was pretty good and the waffle fries.

Ordered Santa Fe combo today, totaling $13.80, it is getting so expensive with Carl's Jr. \n\nMost likely will not visit again!
Absolutely Cold, premade burger.\nHow can you knowingly serve garbage?\nI told the manager on duty, and he told me with the smart ass grin. I should've told him and they would've made me a fresh one.…

Went in the drive thru and waited about 15 min just to get my order. Both the burger and fries tasted old. fries were soggy. Customer service was okay.

Looks like fast food has gone downhill. It's neither fast nor cheap. $7 for one of their basic chicken sandwiches is not what I sign up for when I go to Carl's Jr. The person at the drive through s…
I had an awful experience at Carl’s Jr.—not only did I get food poisoning after eating here, but the staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful. I ordered the famous number one , and within hours, I felt nauseous, had stomach pain, and other food poisoning symptoms
I have EBT and I went to the one on Coleman. I had been there maybe a little over a week ago using my EBT It went fine. This time they said theynever accepted EBT. I told her that I was there don't you remember me I was sitting over there with the computer blah blah blah she goes no I don't remember I see a lot of people I understand that but there was no help at all from her she did tell me to go to another one that takes EBT so I went to that one and I was trying to use the app I know I couldn't pay put my card in my app but we tried to figure out I try to figure out a different way to get my points and pay with EBT I finally got it but she was arguing with me said no she couldn't do anything with my EBT. I figured it out but EBT and the stores that accept it should make everything clear and give us more options for ordering on the app.
Mold on sandwich bread! Bought a couple of sandwiches for my kids! Elder kid found mold on bread and notified me, younger one already finished eating!! Called the company and they dont care - apparently the batch that was sent in from the head office had mold (even though expiry date was Nov 3rd). Makes me wonder about their refrigeration and meat quality. Either way they dont care about customer health!
