As long as you mean regular, and not the oversize "$6" version, I'd agree, it's both one of the more distinctive thing on their regular menu, and pretty tasty for a fast food burger.
Their basic burgers seem distressingly interchangeable with Jack in the Box; I'm not super-fond of either. But my wife grew up with Carl's, and we go occasionally.

OTOH, some people probably DO get them just to be extreme, even if not regularly - I'm reminded of one trip through LAX when out of desperation I went to the in-terminal Burger King. Adjacent to me in line were a couple of very young (18-21ish) guys with commonwealth (probably Australian?) accents, and I nearly burst out laughing when one said something along the lines of "We're in America now. I've GOT to get a triple Whopper."
