The thing with Fast Food places is that it's supposed to provide food FAST for us consumers. Common sense here will show that, of course, these places will have some food "already made" to get us in and out. So, if you don't like that, just simply request for your food to "be made fresh PLEASE". A 'please' goes a long way. And that's why we love THIS Carls Jr. The Manager is absolutely amazing and understanding of such requests. Moreover, everything we order FRESH, IS SO GOOD! Coming here every time Carls Jr is on the menu for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
