We must have arrived just before the weekday lunch rush as we managed to get our order in before queues started forming at the counter. The burgers are never as big as they look in the promo shots and the All Star meal deal is a case in point, with the burgers looking particularly shrunken! The highlight of the meal was the Oreo shake and refillable L&P. What do you expect for $10.90 though?
How hard is it to make your food hot, not lukewarm / cold?? Got the California double cheese burger and the chilli cheese fries. I was amazed that every part of both dishes was cold. Patties lukewarm and unappetising in look and texture, bun and fillings cold. Fries were not even hot enough to melt the cheese which sat on top looking sad. The chilli (mince meat) was fridge cold. Just hoping I don’t get food poisoning 🙁 I didn’t realise they didn’t make their patties fresh but realised they’re actually in a warmer which perhaps isn’t turned up hot enough? Guy behind the counter was really nice though 🙂
The back story : Carl’s Junior – a famous American brand – has settled nicely in the NZ scene popping up in many cities throughout NZ. Rotorua was no exception. Wanting to have some snacks on the way for the road – we stopped by the Carl’s Junior.Setting: located in what appeared to be the Fast Food area in Rotorua next to the McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Cobb n Co. , Carl’s Jnr was easily visible. The drive through was a little convoluted but the menu was otherwise clear and easy to order from. The wait was reasonable – about 5 minutes – so despite other reviews suggesting it being slow, we didn’t find this a problem though it was only 11.30am on a Sunday. Staff were clear and repeated the order for us.Food: The usual Carls Jnr menu options were there with the burger choices. The crisscross fries are however one of my favourite – with a thicker texture like wedges but with more crunch from the crisscross cut, plus being able to retain more seasoning and flavour with the cut. These were no exception and well done though at $3.50 might seem a bit pricey for potato.Occasion : Fast food option with some specialty options such as fried zucchini and crisscross fries.Revisit potential : when required for fast food
Best Carl’s in nz, those Oreo milkshakes are worth the 3 hour drive down from auckland. The burgers are delicious too! The waiting time can be a bit long but as soon as you have that first sip of their Oreo milkshake aka liquid heaven, all is forgiven.
Fast food my butt, both times ive been ive sat in the drive through for 20-25minute plus some!!! Ridiculous, i would choose any other but here!
We went for a late lunch, hadn’t been to one before. The crew member was very friendly and helpful explaining all the different options for meals and combos. Our food was a great temperature and tasted fresh. Customer service was excellent he even came over to check i was happy with our meals. Restaurant and toilets were all clean.
We have used the drive through twice now, and as someone else said the service is so slow, that when you get the meal it is actually cold!!!!! They really do need to buck up their ideas, because based on these two experiences we will not go there again!
