"I love Carl's Jr!!! They fill their zucchini chips all the way to the top not like most places where you get half! Their burgers are always fresh!"
"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!"

"Thank you for taking the time to fix the mess with order. We really appreciate. Insight, first door dasher took out food. 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. "

"This is my first time coming to Swami's and WOWWWW!!! The portion size is fantastic. You get more bang for your buck here. The food temperature was perfect! 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"

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