Carl’s Jr

When you’re stuck at Ontario Airport due to flight delays or what have you and you’ve been to this airport before, you’re well aware that your food options are limited. So despite the prices, for where you’re at and what you get it’s not bad and when you’re starving a fast-​food burger does the trick.
First off, the workers are very kind and do the best they can to hustle but bare in mind they can only do much. I was really pleased with the service I received. Southwest was having technological delays so that meant that many people, like myself, had to wait until our flights came in (wooo, delays…) and many people decided to eat here. *Go figure* Anyway, though you did have to wait longer than usual, you could tell that the workers were doing their best and that’s what was really important to me. The employees still held onto the «service with a smile» attitude and apologized for the delay, but it’s totally understandable when everytime the line gets shorter it only gets longer and they can barely catch their breath.
Note, Carl’s Jr is a pricier fast food option but portion-​wise you get a good amount and it’s filling. Definitely not a health option… duh, but filling and can prep you for your flight so you can get your food coma on and KO and wake up at your destination Hahaha.

I have to be a fan of this place, they saved me while I was stuck at the ONT airport last weekend. After discovering that a bunch of the stores were closed when we arrived around 3pm (including the Coffee Bean… not ok!), hubs and I ended up going to Carls Jr.
The lady who helped me was super sweet. We ordered our food and just waited at our table… she brought it all out for us really quickly. I thought it was nice that she brought out ketchup for us too. The food was great and perfectly cooked. I loved that it wasn’t super overpriced (food at airports are always more expensive than outside, get over it).

Consistent fast food. Works. Usually excellent service. As of 11÷7÷11, a sarcastic little twerp works behind the counter.

Slow, slow, slow. Dear Manager, please realize your staff is in an airport so every minute counts… please increase your service speed… your staff are very slow. They are lovely women but seriously, move faster. I was here on a Friday morning at 8:00am and wow, what slow service. This is the slowest Carls Jr I’ve ever encountered.

I am not afraid to say I enjoy an occasional Carl’s burger. This Carl has got to be the worst one I have ever eaten at. Both the food and service were awful! The cooks were making the food and it was sitting forever while this lazy person worked at the pace of a snail to get the food to the line of hungry customers. I guess she knew the customers would not be in a rush to eat the food once they tried it. When I got my food 25 minutes later, the two gallons of sauce, no melted cheese and gobs of grease equaled an awful burger and will help keep Zantac in business.
I forgive you Carl but please do yourself a favor and replace the Carl’s Jr sign at this location with a Burger King sign or something. Might as well give a competitor the bad reputation if you are going to serve crap like this here.

What is «Carl’s Junior»?
Is that like the son of Carl, named Junior?
Or like someone, anyone, in a conversation, that is younger when compared to Carl?
Or someone who works with Carl but has been there for a shorter period of time?
I never liked Carl’s Junior.
I used to live within walking distance to one, tried it once, and never went back. Nothing tasted that great, nothing stood out.
And then those commercials I hate. You know, the good looking, thin, actor who is stuffing their face with a burger that is dripping ketchup all over the place?
«Don’t bother me…»
(Because I can’t talk with my mouth full and with ketchup all over me, and I am so famished that I won’t be able to put this greasy thing down and be polite to talk to you, besides which I am a loner and don’t like people anyway, especially when I am stuffing my pie hole) commercials.
But as far as fast food at the airport, which is a very low bar to reach, this place is OK in a pinch.

A convenient place to eat at the airport. The prices are pretty similar to the ones of a normal Carl’s. I like to come here because I am already familiar to the menu and don’t have to go out of my way to order something new.

There’s a Carl’s Jr on my college campus and they make a decent steak and egg burrito. I decided to get one off the breakfast menu at Ontario Airport this morning expecting it to be the same. Of all the food places in the terminal, Carl’s Jr was the most crowded at 8:30am. Service was quick though and the line moved fast.
The steak and egg breakfast burrito and a small orange juice came to be almost $ 6. I should have just made it into a meal and gotten the hash browns for a few more coins. The burrito itself was bland and unappetizing. The steak pieces were mediocre at best and I had to use a lot of «fresh salsa» that comes with the burrito to eat it.
I should have gone down the other side of the terminal where they had a Coffee Bean!

So I had my first Carl’s Jr. Six Dollar Burger here and I am quite amazed. I had the guac and bacon variety and it was damn delish. Their ads are VERY accurate — I must have ran through ten or more napkins during the course of consuming this monstrosity. Hit the spot!

I try not to frequent too many fast food joints, but when you’re in a rush, especially at an airport… you always find yourself there.
I was thinking of getting a burger… I don’t usually eat burgers… then a chicken sandwich… damn, those things are expensive… a milkshake… hmmm, I’m lactose intolerant and about to get on a plane… oh wait, are those deep fried zucchinis… cool, you never see those on menus much anymore… and the ranch dressing too… I’ll get an order of that… should I throw in an order of onion rings too… gawd, that’s a lot of fried foods for the early morning… I should pass on the onion rings, besides, they aren’t REAL onion rings… okay, just an order of fried zucchini then.
Well, I got my order of fried zucchinis and stood in line to wait to board the plane. I decided to start munching on my morning snack while it’s still hot because there’s nothing worse than cold fried stuff. Well, I burned my tongue and fingers while eating these things. And I felt sick after all of it too. I didn’t even finish my order, but I think it was a big mistake to get deep fried anythings before 11 am. Shute.
Side note: They give you a number for your to go orders and if you’re dining in, they give you a little placard to put at the end of your table so they can run your food to you. I guess this makes it a half service type place then?
