The price is also a little less than the standard chicken filet sandwich at $2.99.
Having previously reviewed the Bacon Crispy version on Carl's Jr.'s new Hand-Breaded Chicken Tender Sandwiches (which replace their more standard but more expensive Hand-Breaded Chicken Fillet Sandwich), the Honey Mustard version gives the same juicy, crispy chicken tenders but with a markedly different sauce and flavor. It also suffers from the same problem.
The problem is the weak bun. Not that it was weak tasting but that it was structurally weak; it doesn't hold the chicken and the veggies in place very well. While eating, the chicken tenders tend to shift around and threaten to fall out of the sandwich completely. The sandwich would have been better served if Carl's Jr. used the sturdier sesame bun instead of the more fragile plain bun.
The lettuce and tomatos were fresh and of good fast food quality.
I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Honey mustard is an overlooked but enjoyable twist to the standard chicken filet sandwich and Carl's chicken tenders are yum. You just have to be careful to grip the sandwich carefully and adjust for interior shifting. Don't walk while eating one of these.

If they would keep the size of the chicken tenders consistent for the sandwich, then it sounds pretty good. As you said though, when I get them by themselves, there is a large variance in size... so 3 bucks seems a bit much if I end up with small ones.
