"Potatoes were not greasy but nicely cooked. And thank you, Cook, for leaving the bell pepper out of the potatoes. You noticed that I asked for none in the Scramble. The Shasta Scramble was really good. Great food out of the last two visits. I'm impressed!! "
"They have big portions, we ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict, hollandaise sauce was perfect not too buttery. Strip-Cut Hash Browns are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Their Biscuits & Gravy was great, savory gravy and fluffy biscuit. "

"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!"

"Food was inedible because it was cold and disgusting. There was so much guacamole in the Cheese Quesadilla that it fell out all over the place and the 4 Rolled Tacos was covered in flakey cheese and had a chalky texture and taste. The Side Rice 8oz was good. I will not recommend this place and will not be back."

"Genuinely sensational, some of the best Super Carne Asada Fries i've ever had, well portioned and the fries were at a perfect crisp, the sauce had a sharp spice to it and every ingredient harmonized well. Wonderful experience will for sure be ordering again. Only improvements that could be made is if there was a salsa on the side option that you could order from the doordash app without having to call, if there already is that's my mistake. Definitely recommend! :)"

"bro I ordered here because others mentioned they package it well
they weren't lying. everything was super fresh. the French Toast with 2 Eggs wasn't soggy. I got eggs over medium and they were perfectly cooked.
the Fruit was good, but too much melon for me. all good tho. (no photo sorry)
syrup and butter packaged separately and didn't open.
I suggest y'all tip well especially for breakfast because the driver was there early and got me the food quick. don't be cheap and expect things to arrive in a decent amount of time
but bro no napkins or utensils. luckily I had some at the hotel. probably my fault."
"Wow blew my expectations out of the water especially when ordering late night at 2am. Each ingredient came together in perfect umami harmony; soft brioche bun, perfect amount and crisp on the hashbrown one a good meaty sized singlepatty cooked to order, fried egg, and country gravy that just brings it all
Together. Got half fried half rings for the side and they maintained its fried goodness and seasoned. Planning to book and order again. "

I would've given 4 stars only cause the Fish Taco don't come with any condiments like sour cream or a chipotle sauce but everything else was perfect. I love that they give you the option for extra 4 Green Salsas (Extra) for 1$, and the Large Horchata was perfect."
