Carl's Jr.

Davis' local obligatory Carl's Jr. also happens to be paired with a Green Burrito, which is common practice in California and Arizona. According to Yahoo News, system wide there are 1,017 Carl's Jr. fast food restaurants, 223 of which are dual-branded with Green Burrito. They offer a 10% senior discount. You can get a burger there, among other things.

At least one student believes the Davis franchise manages to be sufficently worse than other Carl's Jr. franchises and should be avoided at all costs.

Outside of the West Coast, Carl's Jr. is named "Hardee's", and has the same menu and logo, although menu items go by different names (the "six dollar burger" is a "thickburger"). Check out the distribution of the two using Fast Food Maps.

I haven't been to the Carl's Jr. in Davis, but I like their selection of carb-smart burgers. — SS

Carb-smart is fat-stupid.

2005-05-06 23:45:20   Why isn't there one Carls Jr. that can make DECENT fries!?!? —PatrickSing

There used to be a drive through for bikes at one point in time, which was since removed. Reason is speculated to be an employee breaking the window and the repair guy never replacing it. This branch of Carls Jr. is the highest ranking in the district, as well as the only one without a drive through. —TarynHornen

You can say to each his own, but unfortunatey we as a society face the burden of cost when an epidemic of diabetes takes place and the healthcare system becomes strained. I predict a class-action lawsuit against fast food companies just like the tobacco industry faced in our lifetime —DudeNude

• Not to start a flame war, but if you're a parent and you buy your kid a $6 burger, then it's not Carl's Jr.'s fault that your kid is fat and has diabetes. I don't know of many 9 year-olds who go to Carl's Jr. and have $6 out of their pocket to pony up for a burger. —CaseyBarc

2006-10-08 01:12:41   I went to the Carl's in the Silo ... the food was nasty. 'nough said. —SS

2006-12-14 05:09:09   I ordered a hamburger there today. I saw the person making the burger lick some extra dressing off her finger and continue to make the burger. I ate it anyway. —DanielWorthington

However, use fat free salad dressing or it will defeat the purpose. The Charbroiled BBQ Chicken Sandwich is actually pretty good tasting and doesn't have too much fat. —Jedron

• Getting full fat dressing does not defeat the purpose of a salad. The nutrition information you see is for using the whole dressing packet, which is an obscene amount of dressing (if you use half that much dressing, which is still more than a side of dressing at plutos, your salad wll certainly have less fat than the burgers on the menu). Also salads have more micro-nutrients per calorie than the burgers, regardless of dressing contents. However, if i want a salad im not going to Carls jr. I usually get a famous star, without mayo or cheese and extra lettuce and tomato, if i end up going here. Note they do not inventory the vegetable toppings so they do not cost extra. *edit: due to an employees abuse of the not charging for extra veggies policy (I assume they put a salad on their burger) they now charge 20 cents per extra topping. —MattHh

• haha thats pretty funny. They must have run out of places to review :). —MattHh

2007-05-15 14:24:42   the CJ's on Covell is pretty good actually. I like how its paired with the Green Burrito menu, so you can have more choices. The one at the Silo is TRASH. not only is the menu lacking, everything is overpriced. —DonaldJaye

2007-07-19 17:55:33   Best hamburger if it is the 6 dollar burger be honest very good i like the western bacon with extra crispy bacon —dickjones

2007-08-04 03:36:42   Love the big burgers actually i think best around besides the squeeze inn in Sacramento that place rocks. Carls is a great place to get a good fast food burger my opinion —Brians

2008-01-15 05:38:16   The night crew at the Carl's Jr in the Silo can be pretty shoddy

During one trip there, I received the wrong soda, took it back and got a new one

Then I got the wrong meal, which I also took back after opening the burger and seeing that it was not mine

As i took it back, another girl went up to ask about her food. As it turns out, I was given her order. As the server walks off to get my order, the girl opens her bag, takes out her burger, and stares at the open wrapper for 5 full seconds. Then she seemed to decide, "f**k it" and just left.

i barely contained my laughter —fredchen

2008-01-23 21:32:58   Does the Silo's Carl's Jr. accept coupons? —sfjhffihojh

2008-04-28 21:59:26   Wow, that picture up there makes Carl's Jr. seem almost holy... —SunjeetBaadkar

2008-04-30 13:44:11   What's up with the sign at the Silo that says: WARNING, this food causes cancer and birth defects. ?

Anyway, the people who have commented saying they "like the carb-smart burgers" or "use the fat-free dressing" are idiots. People who fool themselves into believing these things make fast-food healthy deserve to be fat. Please, rid the world of your stupidity by gorging yourself on food and getting all the health-related problems that come with diabetes. —Loccster

2009-05-04 20:26:10   The bourbon burger is gross, the bbq sauce makes it way too sweet. —NickSchmalenberger

• I agree. I tried it with a buy-1-get-1-free coupon, and it was all I could do to finish even one. I would have given the other one away, but I didn't know anyone that I disliked enough. —JoePomidor

2009-05-05 09:45:10   The one on East Covell Boulevard is only good for one thing, and that is a place for students from Holmes Junior High School to hang out when they ditch class. I heard they used to chase students out a few years back (makes me feel old thinking back like this). But I figure they'd rather the business. —MasonMurray

2009-05-05 09:48:10   every time I eat fast food, I regret it shortly after. —RealComputers
