Carl’s Jr

Bad attitude taking order, they charge extra for everything, even a cup of water or a side of ranch.

You are at the airport. You have not eaten in a while and will probably starve to death or have a peanut allergy reaction on the plane otherwise. You decide to eat here to avoid those problems.
After waiting in line for twenty minutes, you get to the counter and order one of twenty of so varieties of the same meat patty topped with something different. You settle on jalapeños or avocado or whatever. You wait ten more minutes for the food, for which they have blessedly provided a pager.
The burger is a total gut bomb covered in a glob of cheese. Even though it is more expensive here than the average location, it still comes out to less than a penny per calorie.
In fairness, the onion rings are decent and they do have refills on fountain drinks. Skip the burger.

I finally got around to trying Carl’s on the way back from Las Vegas. There aren’t any Carls restaurants in the eastern part of the US, so this was going to be my one chance. I had a Famous Star burger with cheese and small crisscut fries. The burger was nothing special, but the fries were pretty good.

Here we go muricaaaa. I’ve had Carl’s Jr before 2 years ago and it was quite something else. After eating another burger from here I realize damn. that was one heck of a burger!
I ordered the American and my gf ordered El Diablo. These burgers were huge like HUGE and I ordered the ¹⁄₃ size when there was a ½ size. Mine had the beef patty, sausage cut in two, hard chips, lettuce, bacon, tomatoes, cheese and jalapeño mayo oh my god. It was definitely something else. The taste however was a so so. Nothing that great about it just lot of ingredients put together. However for airport food it’s not bad. My gf could feel the arteries clogging as she ate hers ahaha. Not a bad place though for being in an airport.
Can take awhile depending what you get. They give you buzzers, which I think is good considering it’s a fast food place in an airport. Also let you know that they didn’t forget your order.

Oh my god… I think I had a heart attack and a obesity health threat within a bite. My first Carl’s Jr and I think definitely my last. I can’t bring myself to like food like this, because it’s definitely NOT food. Processed everything, greasy buns, no fresh veggies? Something is definitely wrong! I got my boyfriend to go order some food while waiting for our flight and I wanted anything that wouldn’t give me health concerns. I ended up getting the diablo, which was ok but too heavy on the obesity. The good thing about it is that the cheese is thick and fresh and the jalapeño spice is a nice change from other burgers. A combo is not too expensive– $ 11−13ish, but the burgers are the size of my face. I got the smallest burger and it’s been over three hours and I’m still having trouble finishing. The beef patty is also hella big compared to other fast food burgers.
The lines are on and off; they can be suuuuuper long, depending if everyone is having same flights at the same time. Anyway, it was indeed a. interesting last meal before I head back to Canada! Thanks for showing me the true american way of food, Carl’s jr! Hopefully I’ll never risk getting heart burn this quick again though.

I understand that being inside an airport, prices are inflated for the convenience, but you should at least get food with similar quality you’d get from the other locations. The Famous Star burger I received from these guys was a joke! It’s like they just nuked the whole burger including the veggies. So what I unwrapped was this dry overcooked patty dripping with warm mayo and ketchup with soggy wet veggies. C’mon, now! For the record, I have been here before and ordered a Breakfast Burger and that one turned out okay. Apparently they don’t know how properly stack veggies in their burgers here, so if you do decide to come here, stick to ordering any sandwich that doesn’t have veggies, and you”ll be okay.

I hate that airport make everything so much more expensive. Ordered two spicy sandwiches and some chillicheese fries. Got charged 22 dollars. I was so confused until I noticed they gave me a more expensive burger. We ate them anyway because we were starving.
The chili cheese had absolutely no cheese. And they burger was meh and mostly lettuce. No refils.
SO expensive. Stupid airport making everything so expensive.
