"*Nov 2021 food was made quickly but was pretty good considering the amount of times I went the food was always below average. Food was hot this time and the wait time wasn't bad, only suggestion is to take the choc shavings off the sundae as it ruins it"

"I ordered the famous Jim Beam Burger with med. fries and drink, costed $16. I asked for more sauce in my burger, and they do it without extra charge. Very friendly staff. Always smile. As always, the Jim Beam Burger tasted very nice. Very good environment too."

"Only fast food place where you can be burgers like this (image) in a little over a minute. Speed was so fast in drive through. Literally pulled up and got order. The fries changed though, I’m not sure what happened but the fries (especially cross cut) were so good, but now it’s just soggy and ‘doughy’. Burgers are still great though. Also 16.99 for double Angus is.. questionable. In their defense it’s the closest diner style burger you can get from a fast food place in 1 minute so I really can’t complain"

"I uber too much from these guys. And iver learnt, dont uber after 6pm. Chips are halved, sauce is non-existent and flavor just is not the same. Night shift also won't read what you've written. But every other time, perfect"

"Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger was decent. The patties could’ve been a bit less dry though and a bit more tender and moist which is a problem I’ve found at carls jr with their beef patties. The burger on the whole was good though."

"Love the BBQ BEEF BURGER! Full of fresh juicy beef patties, slathered on with some bacon and bbq sauce. Waffle fries were also good but way too little for portion size. Overall ok, and will come back."
