Carl's Jr.

Rarely visit here, but often enough to ensure I do stop. Like nearly all merchant locations in the area, there are no shaded areas to park. Worth mentioning because it can get very hot. This particular visit, I was greeted by an employee with a genuinely friendly attitude. Not patronizing at all. Then when ordering, he suggested an alternative to a "special," they had only because for the same price, I could get a larger portion. I appreciated that and followed his advice. There were very few patrons at that time of day, making the already spacious dining area even more accommodating. The California burger I wound up getting was not quite like the one shown on the window ad, but most places rarely are. That was OK, because it was tasty and kind of messy. That was a good thing. The condiment sauce added to a great char-broil taste. I really prefer char broiled hamburgers to anything other fast food franchises offer. The only cons l might have encountered involved lack of napkins. I had to ask specifically for some. I vaguely recall stations that used to allow patrons to grab as many as they might have wanted. No more - disappointing because of those "messyburgers." But that was a very minor point and generally enjoyed my visit.
