If you think Carl's Jr. is the bomb, then you have not had a fast food burger worth a damn. In-n-Out, Jack in the Box, Rally's all make better burgers than Carls, their patty's are too dry and they put too much junk on it. Gimme lots of meat, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and that special sauce. If i want a philly cheese steak, i'll go get a philly cheese steak, i dun need it on my burger.

Carl Jr's Cris Cut Fries are GOOOOOOD! I think I actually like Fries better than burgers most of the time, aside from only having one size which I find too small, they are some delicious ass fries. Six Dollar Bacon Burgers are good too, and I can only speak for my area (Riverside Ca) we get coupons every month now for buy one get one free on the 6 Dollar Burger.

Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich -- Now that's worth going to a Carl's Jr for...

If you're looking for a burger, fine, go to In-n-Out. But man are those chicken sandwiches good

Weird.

The last time I had some other burger place, I literally threw up. I threw up all over my uncle's lawn.

It was that bad. I threw up.

Oh damn that was good. My hotel room still smells like it. What was that sauce on there? Well I gotta say you guys are right about the In-N-Out. I'm a believer. Oh yeah and Animal Style for the win. I think it's called animal style because you ended up licking all the sauce off the wrapper like a dog!

I used to like Carl's.. until I tried Jack in the Box.

I think that Jack in the Box's double bacon cheese ciabatta burger is the best fast food burger on the market. Ask for extra sauce. MMMMM.

Carl's Jr makes better food than McDonalds and Burger King, but I won't eat there anymore... When I went there (~4 years ago) my family went and ordered food, and we saw these three <insert race here> guys in their 20's who looked like they were about to jump the manager... Thus, we ate like tourists and we got the hell out of there as fast as we could.

I'll take Carls Jr over In N Out most any day. Why? Variety!

Carls Jr. has so many great burgers and various chikcen sandwiches. The Santa Fe Chicken is scrumptious! Plus you can get fied Zucchini.

In N OUt is great but lack of variey kinda kills it after you have eaten there once a month for 7yrs.

Carls Jr. does not lack quality either.



Since you are in San Diego and want a GREAT BURGER give Tommy Burger a try! Everything comes with there famous Chili. It is a staple in the LA area.

I'm always down for a spicy chicken sandwich or famous star at Carl's Jr (a buck each).
If at In-n-Out, its a double double animal style for me.

I feel you cannot get much better than a Wendy's Triple. I have never tried a burger that topped it.

$6 burger has nothing on a real restaurant $6 burger, even compared to something like Dennys.

And guess what, if you get a $6 burger at a restaurant, it usually comes with fries.
If you want to get fries with your $6 burger at carl's jr, it also costs roughly $6.

You don't save anything, and you get an inferior burger.
