Carls Jr. - (Near Alpine, CA)

1 /5 Patrick Sutherland: Horrible. They didn’t have the soda I wanted so they “comped” it off but then when I asked for the drinks they said “you didn’t want the drinks” and gave me nothing. Absolutely ludicrous pricing for absolutely god awful service. Normally this location is very accommodating, but whomever is scheduled tonight, 10.22.25 hates life and their job. I hope other people do not have to experience this person as they are unkind and unwilling to compromise when their corporate/management doesn’t give them the tools to succeed. If this person is working, I’m going to just drive away/leave the restaurant. Absolutely horrible. Horrible. Horrible experience. Update: Rawley is the employee who did this. I had to come back for items they forgot on my order. They literally had other sodas that I said would be a good replacement for Dr. pepper and told me I can’t have them because “I wanted the food, but not the sodas.” This is the absolute. Most. Ludicrous. Response to asking for a replacement for what wasn’t available. That apathy I was given when I came back for the items I ACTUALLY paid for was unacceptable. If you come here and Rawley is working, don’t expect kindness or understanding. They do. Not. Care. Update #2: upon returning home, my fiancé explained that the ONE time their order at this location was wrong, was also Rawley. Apparently the amount of chicken stars, the soda size and type were all wrong. That incident, no compensation was offered or provided and Rawley refused to provide their managers name. I grew up in alpine and have been visiting this location with NO ISSUES. This is the first time I have ever wanted to write a review in 30 years. That is how awful Rawley treated us. I don’t know if it is ineptitude or just apathy for the Alpine community, but Rawley is personally, single handed bringing down this Carl’s Jr.

3 /5 Elias Truthwell: Carl’s Jr. is hit or miss for me. The food is usually decent and the burgers are flavorful, but the quality can be inconsistent depending on the location or time of day. Service is generally fine, though sometimes a bit slow, and the restaurant isn’t always the cleanest. Not terrible by any means, but not my first choice either. Solid middle-of-the-road experience.

2 /5 John Lee: There was one other couple in front of us and the employees took at least 10 drive thru orders before taking their. order. And she was the shift lead. I put in my order through the app before the couple in front of us put in their order, we waited 12 minutes.

1 /5 American Flight: I drive into alpine for work a couple times a week and this location has been hit or miss at best when it comes to what kind of experience they provide. Today (10/08/25) I ordered a single western and “new” Cali XL. It’s basically a coin toss in whether or not you’re going to get a decent burger or a flat, wet, and honestly—gross burger. The Cali XL was a soggy biscuit of trash. In addition to the questionable slop they feed you, the drive thru wasn’t even busy yet took a solid 10-15 minutes to get through. I recently took a road trip and stopped at a few Carls Jr’s and was shocked of how not shitty the food was. This location actually just is awful and I still love the brand…elsewhere.

4 /5 Jeff Stoy: Open until 2am, right off the freeway, and with a pretty quick drive through, this I a great fast food option for the area. Too bad there arent anymore $6 Burgers for $3.99...or $6....or $8. It IS more expensive than similar fast food.
