We must have arrived just before the weekday lunch rush as we managed to get our order in before queues started forming at the counter.
The burgers are never as big as they look in the promo shots and the All Star meal deal is a case in point, with the burgers looking particularly shrunken! The highlight of the meal was the Oreo shake and refillable L&P. What do you expect for $10.90 though?
Every time I come to Rotorua Carl's Jr is a must have. Probably the best tasting "fast food" burger joint there is.
Oreo shake is one of the best I have ever tasted. Burger succulent juicy and scrumptious. Their nacho potato stack thing (you could opt to swap the fries for this) was awesome.
Yes I do agree with the other reviewers. It does take quite a while for your order to come out. Is it worth it??? In my opinion definitely YES!!!.
Carl's Jr, please come to Wellington.

The back story : Carl's Junior - a famous American brand - has settled nicely in the NZ scene popping up in many cities throughout NZ. Rotorua was no exception. Wanting to have some snacks on the way for the road - we stopped by the Carl's Junior.
Setting: located in what appeared to be the Fast Food area in Rotorua next to the McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Cobb n Co. , Carl's Jnr was easily visible. The drive through was a little convoluted but the menu was otherwise clear and easy to order from. The wait was reasonable - about 5 minutes - so despite other reviews suggesting it being slow, we didn't find this a problem though it was only 11.30am on a Sunday. Staff were clear and repeated the order for us.
Food: The usual Carls Jnr menu options were there with the burger choices. The crisscross fries are however one of my favourite - with a thicker texture like wedges but with more crunch from the crisscross cut, plus being able to retain more seasoning and flavour with the cut. These were no exception and well done though at $3.50 might seem a bit pricey for potato.
Occasion : Fast food option with some specialty options such as fried zucchini and crisscross fries.
Revisit potential : when required for fast food
