Carl's Jr.
reviews and complaints

I took my burger back because of the exact same reason- very soggy lettuce and smashed bun, it tasted like it was reheated in the microwave. When I brought the burger back to the counter to get another one, I noticed that the "cook" was taking about 12 pre-wrapped and cooked burgers out of the refrigerator! I asked if they premade and refrigerated that burgers, but she denied it. No one really spoke very good English- all Spanish speaking and were very hard to understand. The French fries were cold and very greasy. I will never go back to a Carls Jr. again. They have very low standards for a franchise. I used to really like their burgers.

I also had a bad "natural" burger. I was so looking forward to it!, But very bad! Also I ordered a Swiss and mushroom – but got something else? I must agree – it does seem like the food is going downhill! And yes, the comment above – I usually love the center of lettuce – but sometimes the center can be very pulpy and not crisp and juicy.

Seriously, have you never broken open a head of lettuce before? The center part is called the heart and it is as edible as the leaves. I can't believe anyone is this dumb.

Your commercials are in very bad taste as is the food. There is no need to have to have sexual commercials it is offensive to all
women even the models that are used they are very beautiful but to put yourself in that type of situation makes you seem bland
no respect for yourself. Be proud to be who you are and not what men want you to be just to sell hamburgers, your just another piece
of meat, and you know what happens to meat when it gets old, yep it gets thrown away. Don't let men have the upper hand, they are hogs with dirty little minds. Ladies stand up and respect yourself you will not be sorry. I will never eat there again and i will pass it on to other people. I'm even thinking of picketing in front of our local Carl's with many other people.

That's unfortunate for you but fast food jobs suck.The people working there don't wanna be there especially for little money.It's also called fast food and it's quicker to give someone a burger already made.I'm sure a lot of customers complained after waiting longer than five minutes for a burger.I agree with you, it should be fresh but it's a fast food place and not a five star restaurant.

I have work at Carl's Jr in PAsadena for time the last I work ther it 2/2008
I have looking for a job. I am ready to go back to I want to know if qualify to back to
Any Carl's Jr if please give me a call at [protected] thAnk you.

I agree. I filed a complaint this morning with the FCC. Young children are exposed to soft porn on prime time television. My family and several of our friends have had enough. We also have decided against Carl's Jr and Hardees in the future.

The commercial with Kate Upton advertising the new hamburger is so inappropriate and offensive as a women. Carl JR. has lost our business as a family!

I have already filed a complaint with the FCC, everyone who wants to do something about these dumb commercials, go to FCC website and file a complaint, it's very easy. I of course believe they should rate commercial and previews because both are bad. This way none of them can bypass our set rating limits. :)

Wow sir you never stop amazing me with more perverted commercials you keep putting out their to begin with it. And for that me and my whole entire family will no longer tolerate this anymore we will no longer be eating in your restaurants. And like I am going to say your commercials look like porn videos. You sir sicken me to the core.

I totally agree and have placed many complaints. I filed a complaint with the FCC this morning. This commercial is aired when children are watching television. It is nothing but soft porn and absolutely ridiculous for a fast food chain. I have also called on friends to boycott Carl's Jr. and Hardees. I would love to see them go out business for being so STUPID!

Your commercials are offensive and perverted. Especially having sexual commerials with little kids in them. You guys are rediculous and desperate. Clean it up!

Haha, I hope and pray they run out of business and they officially lost my family and the rest of the friends and community around us after realizing how sexist and chauvinist this crap is. Women will do anything for money and a bit of approval these days, especially in Hollywood. Their food already sucks and not to mentioned crap customer service, and yeah, let is all millions of pissed off women who are wives or mother's destroy these chains cause if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy, and yes, even Hooters...oops I mean Hardees and Carl Jr. And that's where most of their money comes from, including telling your kids not to go in there anymore for the sake of lesson to have values and not sell them for the sake of a damn Burger and not objectify anybody. I wanted to take my family out to eat there tonight but umm...no. in good cause Im not eligible to eat there cause I don't see a hot man's ### or spongebon in the commercial. All it makes me, a paying customer feel like (and Im attractive) crap about myself :ok I wont get food there cause looking at the women there makes me feel sad and low self image so who wants to eat there when it comes sown to it!plus, I am NOT doing this to my daughter who felt bad watching it and then tell her its ok by leaving it on?! HELL NO!

I just filed my complaint with the fcc. It was super easy and worth the time to be heard. Here is the link.to the form http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgb/fcc475B.cfm. Please speak out and help stop these obscenities from being shown to our children.

I'm a mother of two girls. Its not the fact of changing the channel the point is the tone the media and Carls jr are setting for our young girls. Why do you have to sell food with sex and body parts. Are you men really that shallow? Are you women accepting this rule really this empty inside? Have some class and respect for yourselves and others. If this is acceptable now... Our future has no hope.. God bless us all!

P.s this will keep me and my family away from Carls jr !

I have filed a complaint with the FCC, maybe if they get many complaints, they will do something about it. I think now a days commercials/previews should also have ratings, this way they don't bypass the rating limits we have set. Need all the help to get something going.
It's easy to file a complaint on FCC website...go for it!... :D

Who is the Dumb Dumb that writes these commericals? Does he not realize that your media audience also includes females and small children. Do he think that only horney males need something to eat? Why not stop spending millions of dollars on these offensive commericals and promote Carl's Jr as a family restaurant? If you have any sense you will read this and respect what other people have to say...you will lose business along the the general public's respect.

I totally agree with SARASUE . I'm a mother of 3 teenagers. I don' t want to see this crap, nor do I want my kids too either.. Their selling soft porn. it's deplorable. They should not be able to put that ### on national prime time Tv. It was on at 7pm PST... It's ###! and Matlock1981, by the time you realize it for the first time, its too late...believe me, I will next time...But what about the teenagers, they wont. then their exposed to the ###..Its WRONG! You obviously do not have children, or just don't give a ###!

If you don't like the commercial THEN CHANGE THE STUPID CHANNEL! IT'S NOT THAT FREAKING HARD!

yeah on march 24th i went through the carls drive through at 1:30 pm and got 2 burgers . after starting the second burger i chomped on the third bite and bit something hard which damaged a tooth it turned out to be a piece of metal(they think it's from a wire fence) they promised to fix the damage and tried to rush me out and keep me quiet. i had to go back and fight to get handed off to there insurance co as they promised the first time and they have done nothing but give me broken promises and strung me along. they recently dispatched there investigator out to my small town odd because i said until they treated me better i would not meet with himbesides they already have mywritten story on report (faxed allover the place) and the evidence in hand . it's obvious they've hurt others too and are now trying to quiet it up.

I would not recommend carls jr, or thier chicken strips to anyone! I was so disgusted with the fake chicken and horrible taste I spit out my first bite and threw away the rest of my meal. The fries were also extremely greasy, and my sprite was flat. It was a very bad experience and I do not plan on eating there ever again. If carls jr can't get something like chicken strips right, I can't believe what other fake, processed ingredients go into the other food they offer!

The best thing you can do is contact the local newspaper. They love to do stories like this. Don't exaggerate anything though. They will find out and you will be in trouble.
