“The Abbott street location is the best Carl's in Salinas, CA! It's the only one I visit. Great crew, Antonia, day manager is excellent. Rarely is there any problem. If it happens, she quickly fixes. Zucchini and onion rings always cooked perfectly and crispy. Restaurant is very clean as are bathrooms. Easy parking. Easy on/off freeway, lots of gas stations nearby. Only con. Dining room closes at 8! There's a 24hr Denny’s next door. CHP is right across the street. There's never been problems here at night. I hope they open the dining room until 10. I prefer to eat late.“

“Good food been coming here for a whileThey just need to fix there traffic controlA lot of people dont move outta the way an park in the entrance an hold all the traffic ..cant get inside the parking lot. all because people dont wanna get off their car.“

“I'm in town for business and my partner and I happened to go in for dinner yesterday. Went back again this evening. Will be going by tomorrow to try a breakfast burrito before I leave town.
Growing up, I was very fortunate to have friends with mothers and grandmothers who were always making tortillas, corn and flower. There is nothing like fresh handmade tortillas.
This place is absolutely phenomenal. I am almost fifty years old and I have never gone to a Mexican restaurant that tastes homemade. I finally have. I cannot say enough good things about this food and the people that work there. This place is almost three hours from where I live and I'll be coming here as many times as I can.
Thank you guys for making this trip truly special.“

“places is FIRE!!! I had broccoli I also had some chicken three pieces two legs and a breast and some rice 🔥🔥🔥“

“I am having a love-hate relationship with Jack in the box right now. I love their deep fried tacos, but lately it seems that they have stopped putting the slice of cheese in the taco. and if it doesn't have the slice of cheese, it's just not worth eating. It only happens occasionally it's not something I can fully complain about until it's happening consistently. I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. hopefully they come through for me.“

“The diner area was a lil on the dirty side but service was good and my food was fresh and hot !!! My 8 year old son was very pleased with his jr bacon cheeseburger , he said the bacon was extra crispy.. gal behind the counter was very polite and kind ..“

“On my way home from Pinnacles Natural Park and stopped for gas on 101. This is perhaps the best Arby’s I’ve been. The interior designed is much better than the one I frequent. Each booth even comes with outlets and usb ports. Clean, too.“

“I came from out of town, and decided to try Broadway Bingo-and I’m so glad I did! It was the highlight of my trip. The staff were exceptional and overall it was a great experience! I would recommend to everyone-local or for an out of town visit!“

“I have pretzels at multiple different places and I have a few favorites so I thought I’d try Wetzel’s. The plain salted pretzels are soft with a nice outside texture and buttery. One of the best pretzels I’ve had. (I used to lot be a pretzel person but my wife got me hooked about a year ago.)“

“We had a good experience visiting El Pollo Loco.

The food was good, and the staff were polite during our visit. There was also plenty of seating available inside the restaurant, making it easy to find a place to sit.

Overall, we enjoyed our meal, although the price felt a little high for what we received.“

My bf did think the Mac c cheese was a little sweet (just his preference not critique) but I thought it was so good with the chicken :) food portions too I would so recommend and if you like spicy go above medium for sure 10/10“

“Best place to go eat on a low budget and good fast mexican food.Mexican Pizza- family favorite, try it!

Vegetarian options: They have vegeterian options for vegans or like myself that enjoys the vegan menu during lents

Kid-friendliness: Kids love the food and have high chairs.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes my dad would fit with his mobile rascal which is an electric wheel chair basically.“

“Good food and fast service!!! Close to the freeway!“

“Onion rings and frys cost the same. I always get Onion rings. 1st they are made fresh to order. 2nd they taste better. Recommend with ranch dipping sause. No real atmosphere in the drive through though.

Highly recommend ranch with breakfast Hashbrowns.“

“Subway is a go-to spot for customizable and fresh sandwiches. Their extensive selection of bread, fillings, and toppings allows you to create a personalized meal. It's a quick and convenient option for a satisfying and healthy sandwich on the go, making it a popular choice for many. ?? ????‍♂️?‍♀️“

“Visited this Subway location with couple of my clients (IDD). Subway staff was really patient with them they provided an awesome service went above and beyond to make them felt welcomed atmosphere was great bathroom and location was super clean.“

“We stopped coming here about a year ago because it just wasn’t what it used to be. It’s usually kinda bad… but out of desperation, we went back one time and it was great! My husband went back a different day to order and hopefully run into the person who made it last time to let him know he did great. The sandwiches were once again perfect and he got Dylan’s name and this review is for Dylan! We will be back if we see him working“

“The north salinas messed up my order so when I came to this one and ordered the same thing they were quick and efficient. I'm satisfied with my experience at the South Salinas. I don't understand why others boast about the north salinas, when this place just opened, give this place a chance just like when Chick fil a opened for the first time in Salinas.“

“My mom and I went here over the weekend. All the food was freshly made and very hot, really awesome! The employee that helped us in the drive thru was extremely courteous I wish I got his name to give him the credit for that! The store was clean and well maintained keep it up you all are all stars working there!“

“I ordered typical quarter pounder with cheese and fries. I was a little disappointed by the fries they're not as good as they used to be I don't think it's the fault of this particular restaurant. I think has to do with the type of oil they use to fry them in now.“

“great people and service“

“Food was Great like Always. Service was Top Notch. Young Man was very Polite and Respectful with a very Confused and Disrespectful Customer. Which Turned Out that Her Order was Correct. I don't know if I would of been as Polite and Respectful.“

“Foods ok serving size is not they get a spoon full to put on your plate and then shake half of it out and then give it to you I like the walnut shrimp that they charge you more for and then give you 4 or 5 shrimp come on put some shrimp in there and then if you say anything to them they just look at you with a blank stare like your crazy other than that its pretty good pretty crowded in there“

“I love coming for the tuna and the Black Forest ham sandwiches. I remember when I first came some months back, my order was taken perfectly by Yadira. I remember meeting Teresa at the window and asking her was it you who took my order and she said no it was Yadira. I said wow she took my order perfectly. Mind you it was nothing crazy but she understood exactly what I’d requested for my sandwiches and I am and have been very pleased with my service with both ladies ever since. I’m usually back twice a week for either sandwich.“

“I have done take out since that all they offer being a gas staion convenience store the chicken has been outstanding and the side, but their biscuit twice now were not warm and fresh, so ask for fresh one when loading your bag. Other than that great Crispy tasty chicken!!“

“I came in around 4:30-5 o’clock there was 2 girls working they were both wearing glasses I believe who I was talking to was Taylor she was sweet and informed that there was no more bread I said how can there be no more bread she had informed me her and her other co worker came in at 4 said the day crew did not make any bread for them. I felt so bad because they were busy with online orders on top customers in store like myself they were only doing minis because that’s all they had left. When I got down to the register young lady named Victoria gave me a free drink and sub card for the inconvenience of having no bread. Even though I didn’t get size I wanted they still had great customer service and handled everything well!!! They deserve a raise!!! I don’t know why day crew wouldn’t make there bread but I’ll definitely be coming around more during the evening time when they are there! Wonderful job ladies“

“I love this location! I’ve gone to plenty of subway location and this is my favorite in town. Staff is always welcoming and friendly especially Rosa and Evelyn. It’s also super clean! Every time I walk in, I see someone cleaning. I’m very satisfied with their customer service and highly recommend it.“

“This is a clean and professional subway. I've order here several times. They do a pretty good job of getting your mobile orders done quickly and accurately. They also provide hand sanitizing stations in the store for customers.Parking is annoying though because it's located in the corner next to a smoke shop and grocery store. Sometimes I just park behind the building on the street and walk over.“

“I visited Taco Bell in Spring 2024 in Salinas - Williams Ranch, CA next to both N Sanborn Road and E Boronda Road. The parking lot was very easy and comfortable to park in including the disabled parking. Taco Bell in Salinas, CA was my favorite restaurant that offers and delivers sodas and more. The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent.“

“great outreach with Salinas PD👮‍♀️👮‍♂️❤“

“The angry fry’s is my go to with the medium heat 💯🔥🔥“

The food was good, and the drive-thru line moved quickly during our visit. The staff were polite and helpful.

The parking lot also seemed clean and well maintained.

Overall, it was a smooth and convenient fast-food experience.“

“Good job David, served me pretty long time ago but was super professional and fast and made my day that day so I asked him wat his name so I could write ✍️ him a review later well a hecka a lot of time later and this is it I hope he’s still working there very good employee great service from subway ?“

“My experiences here have always been great! I had the awesome lunch special and the customer service was top notch. The meal was fresh with some fabulous flavor. I definitely will be back when I’m in the area. I miss the pizza buffet, which hasn’t been there since COVID.“

“Went for the new smash burger combo. Sat at the drive in booth for 15 minutes pressing the button. Realized I had run out of time and went through the drive thru instead, was served instantly. Food was good because its sonic but the original roller blade experience has been left in 2012.“

“I went there w/a friend, w/bn next in line, we were both were curious 2 c what each other wanted, I had asked one of the employees 4 a sample of 2 different sauces my friend had not tried, we were served promptly & w/o any hesitation he was given samples of each sauce. The 2 employees were happy 2 make 3 totally different sandwiches & were very friendly. I'd definitely give this Subway an 'A'. It's nice 2 c that u don't havta go 2 a 'sit-down' type of eatery 2 still get prompt & courteous service🍞🍅“
