"The yeast rolls are the best in town. You can't go wrong for the kids with the chicken fun box, and my husband had 2 plates of the Pot Roast . It was the perfect meal for a big family. The Garden Salad complemented the whole meal. Thank you Golden Corral, another superb meal."
"The Meatloaf Meal with carrots and potato salad and the Roast Beef dinner with corn and salad were really good. The salad was huge! The rolls were a little stale. And the apple pie was EXCELLENT!"

"Crispy wings with no bad pieces. Boneless are a little small for how much it is but still good taste. "
"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."

"What happened to the quality at Carl's? The chicken sandwich was just one thin long tender on a round bun. The Famous, usually a favorite, had soggy lettuce and no flavor. The CA classic was like rubber. The only bright side was the zucchini, which is always delcious. So much money for what amounted to junk quality food!"

Once i got my food, it tasted bad, the potatoes Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes unfortunately were hard and stuck together.

"Highl recommend not getting the Texas Brisket Sandwich from this location. Liteterally less than half of the beef than i have received from the other two locations i visit. I thought the first time was a fluke. After the second time of getting about a 50 cent piece circles worth of beef on the entire bagel, that just not worth it. "

"Ordered the California burrito. It's a great size, but too much cheese and felt like a filler for the lack of other ingredients. The fries inside were more blanched in the oil than fried. A pool of oil had gathered at the bottom of my burrito as I was eating it. Couldn't even finish it bc of how oily it was. Would order from another taco shop for better quality, taste and price."

Our new door dasher, Araceli & the staff at Dirty Burgers went above and beyond to get our large order to us. The burgers were AMAZING and it's a great story to share for National Burger Day!"
"I saw that Santana's had this new virtual brand and figured I would try them out. I ordered a cheeseburger with an extra patty, bacon, onion and pickles. It came without cheese, the patties are probably smaller than what you get on a big mac. The bacon was bacon bits and the onions were little diced pieces. The patties seem to have been left on the grill all afternoon as they were oddly dry but very greasy at the same time. The lack of napkins made it even worse. "

The Eggs Benedict were so creamy and tangy and my taste buds are just exploding from all the flavor right now. I also got the pastrami melt which I might have to save for later because it's so big. And although it's a side dish, the sweet potato fries were my favorite part. Whoever cooked this food, man.... I LOVE YOU."
"The Swamis Club was pretty big. Tasted pretty good. Fresh ingredients The fries tho...Ehh No seasoning and they taste sweet as if they fry a sweet or breakfast item in same oil They do come free with the sub tho so I guess if you like the taste, just season at home Overall 4/5 Would order again bc of sandwich size but I'd definitely get a different side like a salad"
