This is an older place, established in 1939. It shows its age, but otherwise seems clean. If anyone is looking for a shiny, modern place, this is not it. The help all seem to be friendly. The onion rings actually contained slices of onion and the Ruben sandwich was grilled without bread and perfect. I would not hesitate to eat here again.

Always love your cheeseburgers with extra pickles of course, but my service was amazing! Jessica did a such a great job and she was so sweet, even though she was so busy. Definitely going back

Husband has the chicken sandwhich with onion rings, I had a salad with grilled chicken, so I could eat my 2 fave diner dishes--onion rings and pie! The onion rings were breaded with a slightly sweet coating and were cooked to perfection. The pie was mixed berry--homemade--and was to die for. Did not disappoint. Staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating and attentive. I asked for extra chicken on my salad, and not an eye was batted, always asking if we needed/wanted anything or if they could get us more to drink. I love a classic diner complete with regulars, specials, and pie. Carls is it!

A local favorite. Good burgers. Family, homey atmosphere. We usually eat at a family member's house when in town, but occasionally get over here if we stay a few days. Definitely worth a visit.
