Our Menu Choices:
1x Western Bacon Cheeseburger Combo (fries & drink)
1x Bacon Swiss Chicken Tender Sandwich Combo (sweet potato fries & drink)
OK, so before I upload any photos, can I just say that neither of the photos of the above burgers does either of them any justice...
Carl's Jr is always a winner and is a place I look forward to going to whenever I am in San Jose. This time I opted for a Western Bacon Cheeseburger - single burger, 2 strips of bacon, onion rings, bbq sauce and cheese. A very tasty burger, I don't actually think I tasted the BBQ sauce very much, could do with a stronger sauce. Think it could also maybe do with a bit of lettuce, it comes with no salad as standard - not sure if you can add any to it? The bun was squishy but went flat way too quickly (as you can see in the photo), this did not effect the taste of the burger whatsoever though! The onion rings are breaded, full of flavour (as onion always is!) but is the type of onion ring that with the first bite, you remove the whole ring of onion from its crispy breaded shell (god that annoys me!)
This burger is let down by the crappy American bacon they put inside it (don't know if I am the only person who thinks the bacon in America is no where near as good as English bacon!).
Carl's Jr kind of reminds me of Burger King's burgers back in the UK, but a better version!
Fries here are really tasty, the Mrs said that if her sweet potato fries were slightly warmer they would have been awesome!
The Mrs opted for a Bacon Swiss Chicken Tender Sandwich and was really happy with it, said that it was perfect, the chicken was tasty, nice squishy bun, ranch sauce was slightly on the mild side, but all in all a very yummy sandwich!
