“On September 3, 1960, founder Wilber Hardee (1918-2008) opened the first Hardee’s store in Greenville, North Carolina.
In areas other than the western United States, including LA, Carl’s Jr. operates under the name Hardee's.
Originally, Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. were different companies, but since Hardee’s was acquired by CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Carl’s Jr. in 1997, Hardee’s in the western United States have been renamed Carl’s Jr.
Currently, Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s are sister brands with different names but shared menus.
The combined market share of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. in the United States is by no means small, ranking fourth in terms of the number of stores, after McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s.

“Went in on a Thursday night and was immediately greeted with a friendly welcome. This particular night I was in the mood for some chicken tenders. While ordering my food the cashier woman was very friendly and was always smiling. After a long day of work she made my night a whole lot better. This is the best customer service I have experienced. I ate inside the restaurant for a peaceful night and got just that. Even if the food is a bit pricey, it’s really worth it.“

“Best Cobb salads!!! Plus free shakes on your half birthdays! 😀“

“Went at 745 on Thurs. The worker was super kind and helpful with my first time here and gave suggestions and just really good service, great attitude... its just not what you expect anymore with better work industry.
The poke was fresh, topping choices were great...

Thanks for a great meal and I'll be back.“

“I mean atmosphere is relative, right? But I gotta say - I haven't been to an Arby's in years, Im really impressed by not only the quality of the food but also the cleanliness of the restaurant on top of the service being perfect, the employees remembered my name and everything.“

“I love Carl's Jr burgers in general, but the reason I am giving this store a 5, is customer service.
They gave me a wrong sandwich and I didn't find out until I got home. I called the store and I was instantly told that I can come by to pick up a free combo for the inconvenience. I went in the next day and explained what happened. They made me the order for free and no questions asked!“

“Great service great burgers !“

“Late night taco munchies aft a Gwen Stefani concert,,,it's the same wth all JnB,,thy never put napkins wth ur order,,,u hv to ask for ketchup, hot sauce,,,“

“I feel like El pollo loco is underrated really. The chicken is honestly amazing for such a simple place. Everything else can be a hit or miss but the chicken is always spot on, if you come here, you definitely have to try the chicken, if you try anything else then you can't complain or else your just a Crazy Chicken.

The service is great, they are fast and efficient and generous.

The ambiance is casual with some good music playing, the music is played at a slightly above average sound level. Seats are cushioned and well lit with some outdoor seating is some nice weather.“

“The worker at the cashier (I think it was Mike or Michael) was cheerful, cracking jokes, making it a great experience. The food was also great and affordable for a family, thanks to the deals they offer here. I'll be sure to come back here more often.“

“One of my favorite lunch spots. Food is delicious. Great customer service. Thank you to Pedro for always taking my order and telling me about their deals/discounts. Other staffs are very welcoming and friendly as well. The place is lively and clean.“

“This location was so kind and attentive. My co worker & I came in with 8 clients from a special needs day program & were treated with such patience. The manager was ringing in a lot of our orders with a smile! I thanked her for her kindness with tears on my eyes & she said “ you know what your nuggets are on the house today!” I expressed my gratitude for the amazing customer service .. when she brought my nuggets to the table she asked for a headcount of our group which was 10.. soon after she walked over with a tray full of cookies for everyone! I cannot express the joy it brought our group., They wondered why they were given a free cookie & my response was because they like you guys.. such a great experience! We will definitely return soon.. Thankyou to the manager ( I wish I caught her name) ?“

“Great owner, great staff at this location I had the pleasure of working with for a few weeks as a kitchen helper...Place is kept clean, open, welcoming...Staff is humble and polite, they do their best to be accomadating, they work hard, together and help each other...Everything made and cooked well, beef, chicken, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, avacados, onions, oranges, salad, white rice, brown rice, tofu, kimchi, sauces, soda fountain, iced teas...Two TV screens, music, inside and outside seating, restroom, take-out, phone orders, catering...Not a huge selection, bit pricey, but healthy, tasty, well worth it...Shout-out to the great Irvine crew: Abid, Abbas, Alex, Juan, Irma, Jovani, Luz, Evelyn...Also locations in Long Beach, El Monte, Diamond Bar, Ximeno... ???????

Vegetarian options: Salad, orange, avocado, rice, tofu, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, onions...“

“This place was pretty big and clean. They have a lot of kiosks to place your order.
The restroom was big and decent looking.
The food we ordered was piping hot and fresh. I was even happier because they had the caramel apple empanadas in stock, iykyk..... people that work here were super friendly and nice.“

“Solid Hawaiian BBQ joint. Chicken, beef, pork, and katsu on the menu. The combo plate gives you a taste of everything and weighs like 5 pounds… perfectly cooked cabbage and macaroni salad. I got the chicken katsu which was appropriately thin and crispy with our being dry. Good curry sauce and it has potatoes!! Will definitely eat here again and work my way thru the menu. They have limited seating at the Irvine location on Barranca. Friendly service. Clean restaurant. A++“

“A week or so ago, my friends and I went to this Chick-fil-A while visiting California. I've never dined in a proper Chick-fil-A restaurant before, only having eaten at one in an airport cafeteria, and was incredibly impressed by the quality of service! Not only were the employees very friendly and attentive to making a good environment for the customer (ie. Making sure the table was fully clean before we sat down, wiping my drink when it spilled over slightly as they filled it, being polite, clearing trays when we were finished, etc.), but I was astonished by the speed of service! I had hardly finished paying and was just about to sit at our table to wait for my order when, lo and behold, an employee brought me my food! I was gobsmacked and pleasantly shocked! Never have I witnessed such speed of service! Then, shortly after, before my astonishment had even warn off, the same employee brought me a milkshake on-the-house! Apparently there was a "mix-up" in the back that resulted in a being made milkshake by mistake and they thought of me and my flabbergastered yet positive reaction! So there I sat amongst friends, happily eating my chicken tendies with a free, banger milkshake quite pleased by the food and quality of service I was experiencing.

In short, to anyone who asks, I highly recommend eating at a Chick-fil-A and I fully intend to dine there again in the future! Thanks for the positive experience, guys! Keep up the great work!“

“This is my local del taco. The service is meh, but understandable for the people they have to deal with. The fries are always undercooked. That said, when you ask for xtra this or no that, they get it right! They also always have good vegetarian options!“

“I like the Fesco bowl with rice,chicken, avocado, tomatoes, black beans onions,cilantro. Perfect size It was a nice change of healthy“

“Excellent Service, Just a Small Mix-Up

We are regulars at the Chick-fil-A located at 13490 Jamboree Rd, Irvine, and have consistently had wonderful experiences here. The staff are always welcoming and the service is prompt, which keeps us coming back.

Unfortunately, during our most recent visit, we experienced a small hiccup. After ordering through the drive-thru, we returned home to find that the fries were missing from our meal. While this was disappointing, especially since my wife particularly looks forward to them, we understand that mistakes can happen and it’s all part of being human.

We didn’t return to the store but wanted to share this feedback to help improve the service further. We appreciate your attention to detail and look forward to our next visit, and of course, to those delicious fries!

Thank you for always striving to provide great service!“

“I'm from HB and there's nothing like it......“

“Muy limpio amables y elcocinero muy guapo y servisial muy rapido para a tender y el manager exselente“

“Guy is working the entire restaurant in Irvine on Barranca by himself today with a smile. Amazing, dude is amazing. I'm working harder today because of him.“

“I rarely leave reviews, and I never do it for fast food joints, but the food was super solid at this location and David, who took my order at drive-through, frankly, made my day. I was tired, hungry, not in a good mood at all, and David he was so kind and I could tell that he could tell and I could also tell that he actually cared. Just a really nice guy doing good work and making people’s day better when he really doesn’t even have to. So treat David well.“

“Clean store and tons of Asian products too“
