So I've commented in here before about how Carl's Jr. is now more expensive than Black Angus for lunch. Here's some proof. This was for the equivalent of a double western bacon cheeseburger (meat is twice as thick, and literally angus beef), order of fries, and two light beers. About twice a month Black Angus randomly loads $10 gift certificates into my account, half the week they do buy one get one burgers, and they have a lunch menu that no joke offers a dozen meals for under $20.

The last time I went to Carl's Jr. for a western combo it was almost $20. Shame on them, see if you've got a Black Angus near you, you won't be disappointed I promise you

Carl's struggling in Socal

209 Upvotes

I just recently started going back to Carl's Jr. The prices had gotten ridiculously high here in Socal.

I got reeled back in by the $8.99 Double Famous Star AKA Super Star combo on the window at my local Carl's.

This location has been in my neighborhood for at least 30 years. Early/Mid 2000's it was a 3x's a week spot for me.

The Parking lot was vacant like the zombie apocalypse had hit. No one in sight. I pulled up to the Drive Thru and the workers acted surprised they had a customer. I ordered my food and it took some time as if they were cooking the order on the spot. Not a burger pre-made sitting waiting to be ordered. It tasted great as well.

I returned 48 hours later and the entire Carl's was closed down...

I've visited or driven by a bunch of Carl's in my area. They all seem vacant and don't get a 10th of the business the other fast food places get. All the fast food prices have gone up but Carl's seems to be the highest and it's affecting the patronage.

I will give Carl's credit. They have not skimped on the ingredients like other past food places and still serve a meaty burger.

But the franchises around me definitely are struggling to stay open.

For a limited time (unknown how long), on Wednesdays you can get single Western Bacon Cheeseburgers for $3.49 each, at participating restaurants. My local Carl's Jr offers substituting toasted sourdough bread for the regular buns for a $0.30 upcharge.

Edit: Asked employee how long the Western Wednesdays promotion will run. She said it's already been running for 3 weeks and might run for another 3 weeks but didn't know fir sure.

The single Sourdough Star from Carl’s Jr. is so good! I added onions and pickles to it. IMO, this burger is way better tasting than the Sourdough Jack. Get it while it’s hot, before it leaves the menu on September 1, 2026.

It’s especially good when it’s free as a result of you signing up for a new account on the app.

Double western extra barbecue sauce add lettuce, and tomato and a side of big Carl sauce. The lettuce and tomato add a freshness to the burger along with texture, and the tanginess of the barbecue mix well when dripped with their Big Carl sauce every bite. Try it out!

I never see anybody in the restaurant or drive thru. Their prices are extremely high. The food is mediocre at best. And now that have AI taking orders.

Been 5 months and I’ve gone twice a week every month. I just make a new account with a new email every time and get a single western bacon and add an extra patty to it. (The extra patty costs about $2 so you get a double western bacon for $2.) I love app deals lol.

Love this promotion every July and this year they added August too. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity. Probably only in the Phoenix market like before. Sorry California 😢.
