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
Best Carl's in nz, those Oreo milkshakes are worth the 3 hour drive down from auckland. The burgers are delicious too! The waiting time can be a bit long but as soon as you have that first sip of their Oreo milkshake aka liquid heaven, all is forgiven.
We went for a late lunch, hadn't been to one before. The crew member was very friendly and helpful explaining all the different options for meals and combos. Our food was a great temperature and tasted fresh. Customer service was excellent he even came over to check i was happy with our meals. Restaurant and toilets were all clean.
We went on the opening night and it was good - i like how they give you a number and bring it out to you - saves waiting at the counter - the chips were nice and good how you can get your own drinks - we didn't have to wait ages in line and our order was correct. I like the seats and lights and TV with music, all restaurants need time to get adjusted and staff are learning but we found them to be good.
Stopped in for dinner and was not disappointed. Got a special combo which had the onion rings and milkshake as a part of the deal. Enjoyed it all, everything was nice and hot.
Amazing fresh food imagine Maccas but bigger fresher and tastes absolutely amazing. Get in to Carls Junior today.
For a meal experience you will never forget it is better value than like businesses. And actually healthy
Always a great experience coming to this Burger Joint. I'm very happy with the service and lovely food. Thanks heaps your Awesome.

The best burgers, absolutely brilliant food. Always comes out looking great and teases Soo good. Will always come back here
Not bad to be fair, a little on the slow side but worth the wait for better food than McDonald's
Fantastic staff.
Fast service and tasty food. Love the brioche buns
A typical Carl's joint. Food was nice and fresh. Cashier found it hard to understand me.
Amazing taste but the service staff are pathetic. There was a Chinese lady at the counter very rude and not at all help. If a person is new or coming for 1st time it is normal that he/she wont be aware of the menu so they should help n guide.
Very much unhappy π
2/6/23 @ approx. 6pm, We just went through the drive through to order 2x Western Bacon burger combo with 5x chicken tenders and a Bacon and Aoli Criss Cut combo and it was cooked ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY. ALL of it was delicious and cooked to PERFECTION, ALL staff working tonight need to be praised as you ALL have done an amazing job. ALL of it was ABSOLUTELY YUMMY We surley will be back.
Food is great. Actually my favourite burger place!
I love this place! I'll definitely be stopping here when I'm in Rotorua again. The food has been lovely every time
The staff is friendly and serving. Yeah, its a fast food chain with so much pressure yet they do well. Coming to food, always the best. Famous Star, Classic Carl, Original Angus, Western Bacon and Oreo Shake. Plus, the manager gave me discount. Thanks. Recommended.
Love coming to Carls jr, great food and prices, awesome fries!!! Nicely salted π can't wait to go back next time I come to Rotorua
Good presentation of food just found the service a little slow and could of been more thorough with clearing and wiping tables
