Carl's Jnr - Bateau Bay

After eagerly anticipating our return for two years due to the exceptional quality of the old-fashioned milkshakes and overall high standards, we were disappointed with our recent visit. The strawberry milkshake tasted watered-down and cheap, lacking the rich flavor we remembered. The Santa Fe burger was disappointing with an oversalted, tough patty and excessive chipotle mayo. The milkshake my companion ordered was also lacking in quality. The differences between his Carl's Jr. cheeseburger and the kids' cheeseburger seemed minimal, with the only distinguishable factor being a tomato slice and pickles on the adult version. It appears that cost-cutting measures have compromised the once exceptional experience we had at this strip mall location on the central coast.

The waffle fries were cold and unappetizing, the burger bun was very cold, but the bark was mild and warm. The bacon was chewy, and we had to use the drive-thru because there was no service inside. There were no napkins provided, so we had to use the paper bags to clean our faces. Overall, our monthly treat was ruined by this bad dining experience.

I dined here with a group of adults and children. The adults all agreed that McDonald's set the standard for fast food. The children enjoyed the shakes and some of the sides, but overall found the experience to be quite average. The burgers did not live up to their advertised appearance in pictures. Personally, I do not plan on returning as the prices were not cheap.

We were ask to take our names n number to line up n order first then after we order some white family just sit and take over our spot. I told them the manager he just ignore me White Crew n Manager.

My burger combo meal was served cold hardly even lukewarm. I don't know what temperature meat should be served at maybe the health commission should be called. definitely not even warm to the touch so I sent the food back it came out again no...warmer than it was the first time. I called the manager and asked her to squash a chip in her hand and she agreed that it was cold. the meat in the burger , I gave her a piece of the meat to hold and she agreed that was just warm . They claim this meat to be Flame Grilled it's more like thrown on a grill for one second and then in a food warmer which isn't kept hot enough .germ breeding muk!
