Carrols Restaurant Menu
During the 1970s, Carrols tried their hand at serving fried chicken; their attempt was advertised as "Carrols Crunchy Country Chicken—I can't say it, and I work here". Carrols also formed an agreement with Good Humor to sell several of its ice cream novelty bars.
The flagship sandwich in Carrols' original menu was the Club Burger. Like the Big Mac at McDonald's, it also had two all-beef patties, a special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, served on a sesame-seeded, triple-decker hamburger bun. The Club Burger also had a tomato slice, and its special sauce is known as Crisbo Royale Sauce. In the early/mid-1970s, there was no tomato slice, and the sauce was a French dressing variant called Royal Dressing. The fish sandwich at Carrols was the Sea Filet. They also rolled out the Brute, their own version of Burger King's Whopper. Carrols' Roast Beef Hero piled heated slices of deli roast beef inside a bolillio roll with a dripping of beef broth. Carrols' Toasted Cheese (aka TC) had two yellow American cheese slices criss-crossing on both the top and bottom sides of a hamburger bun, which was pressed with a spatula as it cooked on the grill. The TC sold for ten cents in 1970.

“Any moral philosophy is exceedingly rare. This of Menu addresses our privacy more than most. It is a more private and familiar, and at the same time, a more public and universal word, than is spoken in parlor or pulpit nowadays.”
