Kids love chicken nuggets, so why don’t you do them!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went here after it opened just to try it out, I didn’t really enjoy the serving sauces, poor hygiene as many were cross contaminating, anyway I ordered a burger with two patties, and received it, good size but burger wasn’t assembled properly exposing the quality of patties, they were grey and they had all these little tubes in it like it was the bad part of the animal, my friend got a good pattie but he thought it was too greasy, I liked the sauce and chips though. Haven’t been back since

Great burgers. Compared with the selection of existing fast food burger chains, Carl’s Jr offers something different for those looking for a quick bite with quality ingredients. However, I’m really not impressed with the service. I asked for Jalepenos in a burger which doesn’t contain jalepenos. Fair enough, the burger doesn’t have jalepenos in the ingredient list. So I ask if I can pay extra and they said “no” to adding jalepenos or even serving them on the side. If you go inside, you can get jalepenos from the salad bar. Because this one ingredient is not on the menu, they will not provide in any way shape or form for drive thru customers! However, if you purchase a jalepeno burger, you can ask for extra jalepenos! I do not agree with this retail mentality and sincerely hope Carl’s Jr’s management will rectify this. (I don’t know about their policy for other ingredients as jalepenos are the only additional ingredient which I really enjoy in burgers!)

Best burgers in town. They are so good, we hate that we love them so much!

What makes the burgers even better is that every time we come here, it has always been a great experience. Service is fast and accurate plus staff are very helpful and friendly.

Great job to the team!

They make the best ‘bargain’ burgers in town. Way better value than Burger King, Wendy’s, MacDonalds etc. For what you pay, you get a decent sized burger. When we go, my wife & I just have a burger each and one large fries. Makes a fantastic quick dinner. The staff are always friendly, and do their best to keep the restaurant clean is spite of some of the slobs who make a mess.

The food here is great and also DEEEELICIOUS, and very fulfilling, the customer service on the other hand is awesome I’ve been to 3 different Carl’s Jr’s and the people are extremely friendly. I had to wait for the one out in Mangere to open because it was the closest to us. In one week the kids had Carl’s Jr twice.

Definitely recommend Carl’s Jr to anyone of all ages, especially when you run out of ideas for dinner this is one place you should check out.

I’m sad to say What a complete waste of time that was.
Tuesday evening let’s go to Carl Jnr. 20 minute drive from my place across town to St Johns

Order a porabello thick I get Chicken.

Phone to complain only to be told “I’m sorry would you like a refund for that or a free meal”
I wanted what I ordered!
To receive either of those such “GENEROUS” offers I would have to go back. A 40 minute round trip
What on earth makes them think i would want to do that again !!!!!!!

better than McDonald’s hands down and probably is the nicest fast food restaurant in Auckland but still it’s junk food..good if you’re in need of a quick lunch or just a quick snack on the go. the price is also very cheap provided how big their portion sizes are

My first time there this afternoon, a friend took me there. The place looks good, I just had mY double western Bacon Cheese Burger when I got home. I am proud to say that its the best burger I have ever tasted, its a mouth full. I’ll spread the word to my friends to check it out.
I’ll certainly come back for more until I have tasted every meal on the menu:)

Out of 10 score I’ll give it a 8/10.

My two kids and I visited Carls Jnr on the 7th of august 2012, the service was excellent and so was the food, but my only concern was a customer walked into the restraunt very drunk using inappropriate language, this customer was also flashing herself in the restraunt. Itss so disappointing that none of the staff members came to deal with the situation. My 10 year old was frightened that we had to leave early. I hate for this kind of stuff to ruin the excellent reputation we have of this restraunt, because we loved the service and food their very much, my kids always want to come there, we even recommend this place to our families here and from overseas too. I think that the staff could have done something for the safety of other customers but instead they ignored the situation.

Been several times now. Adore the skin-on fries, very different and tasty.

Big portions, mean good value for money, although a tad messy to eat !!!

Bad for the waistline, perhaps I’ll try the ‘lettuce burger’ next time !

Wonderful food. Generous portions and always hot. Great service and clean. Above all, this is actually a FAST-FOOD restaurant. Food comes fast, it’s always accurate and is given with a smile.
Will definitely come back whenever I’m in Auckland!!!

THE HAMBURGUERS LOOK JUST LIKE THE ONES IN THE PHOTOS!

We live at west Newlynn and my friends from northshore , just to have a meal cz I miss Carl’s jr when I used to live in SF:) .
Food was fantastic same taste ” loving it!!”
But the sad part was the table, most of the table has a sticky marks ( dirty ) and the couches has oily marks from the previous customer ( I guess )!! It was Monday afternoon , wasn’t busy tho:( heaps of staff but most of them busy chatting to each other, only one staff who works hard ( the guy who has a disability ) “well done”! He comes every table to clean the table.

Cheers
Lance

Went on a Sunday lunchtime and surprised by how busy and popular it seemed, all tables were full so we had to wait for a table to be free.

Ordered chicken burgers and Angus beef burger combo which was delivered to our table (different) standard drink refills available, chips had skin on which was unusual, as they char grill the chicken and beef the taste was similar to Burger King.

A nice addition to the choices available in Auckland and with Restaurant Brands buying the NZ franchise expect the roll out across NZ to be pretty swift.

so you have to eat-in because you can serve your own jalapenos and salsa and gherkins and these yummy sour yellow chillies etc so you can make the really yum burgers way yummier. this is by far the best fast food, if you’re gonna have a greasy feed, and you can focus on smelling the burgers not the smell of multi-national usa’an consumerism, then this is the place!
the staff are really nice at this branch

Hi i went to the Takanini store yesterday (04/03/2012) to buy some food for my family.The shop is quiet a distance from my home but since we heard so much from the media and word of mouth from mates we taught we will give it a try..

I spent $25 at the store yesterday.One of the items we purchased was the chili Fry’s,we always check our orders before we leave any store but for that day we did not..
and to my surprise when we opened the box at home all we found was heap of Fry’s with what looks like a dump of stuff on it….I cant believe that they can serve that kind of slop from there stores…My advice to all please check your food before you leave Carl’s Jr takeaways…Very disappointed.

In my 25 plus times going to the States I never went to a Carl’s Jr. My local Carl’s was only two streets away but everyone I talked to said the food was bad so I never went there.. A year ago I went past a new fast food building getting built and I noticed it was going to be Carls Jr.
I have been there about 8 times and now I avoid the place, burger king is far better, Carls Jr cannot even cook onion rings, every time they over cook them so they are dark and dry, my Jalapeno Burger was so dry, I think they might have left out a sauce, my big complaint is there super slow drive in, last week I was the only car in the drive in but I had to wait 15 minutes to get my food, I usually time how long they take. Two other times I waited 20 minutes, you might think that is slow but my buddy went inside, he was second in line and it took 30 minutes before he came out to my car.. some of their staff need to learn to say hello or thank you.

My conclusion is stick with wendy’s or burger king

today 17/3/2013 i decided to try carls again.. i went in the drive through.. i was 3rd car back,, i noticed when the car in front got his meal the second car ordered his food.. i thought hell no this system is going to be slow… i waited 7 minutes for the first car to get his meal and then the car in front of me went up to collect food… i timed to see how long i had to wait again… i thought someone would say,, hello whats your order or anything,,, sadly after 11 minutes the second car got his food,, then someone sais hello can i help you.. no you can’t i said and drove off.. i thought 18 minutes waiting was enough.. surely taking orgers before cars move forward would be so much faster,, never again

Tried my first experience with Carl’s Jr yesterday 19th Feb,and I was amazed. The layout was fantastic, and all the little extras they provide you with is so impressive. And there burgers oh my goodness. There to die for. I really loved my Western burger, my fries and chicken wedges. I’m going there again tonight to try there chicken Burger’s and my mouth is watering already. Awe and look out for the little lemon wedges you can have with your drink. They think of every thing! Brilliant! Thanks Carl’s Jr. I’m a huge fan!

Arguably the best fast food burger in New Zealand. They don’t have the full menu you can get in America, but they have imported all of the highlights plus a few things you can’t get anywhere else.

The most unique thing to on the menu are the breakfast biscuit sandwiches. Poorly named for the kiwi palate, these actually taste like a very light and moist savoury scone with bacon, egg and cheese inside. Yum. On the regular menu, swap the fries for deep fried courgette with a side of ranch dipping sauce. Or try the ‘waffle cut’ fries.

Normally when I eat here I don’t count the calories, but the last time I went I finally tried the Santa Fe Chicken burger which was grilled and on a wheatmeal bun. Not exactly ‘health food’ but still a bit less fatty than a cheeseburger.

The best thing about Carl’s Jr is their fries. Skin-on. They taste AMAZING!

Second best thing is the Portobello mushroom burger.
I haven’t found another burger that I would rave about at Carl’s Jr. But the first meal I had there, we were both blown away by the flavours of chips & burgers.

Second time we went, we ordered different burgers… and they were a bit average.

But I would have given 5 stars if I was just rating the Portobello mushroom burger and the fries.

Interesting to see the queues out the door and drive-thru cars lining up down the street when (and since) they opened their doors like a month ago. The owners did super-well with their positioning here. I feel a bit sorry for McDonalds in Glen Innes…
