Fast Food Restaurants in the USA and Canada - Hardee's

Introduction

This is NOT the official Hardee's web site.

This page describes typical restaurants in the chain. Individual locations may differ.

Only a small sample of menu items are listed here.

Unless otherwise stated, prices exclude sales tax and are normal (not special offer) prices.

Area

Eastern, southeastern and central USA. The only western state where Hardee's operates is Montana. Hardee's do not operate in Canada.

System

Fast food.

Queue at the counter (sometimes there is one queue, sometimes there are multiple queues).

Place order and make payment.

Wait for food to be prepared and served.

Some locations now have serve yourself drinks with endless free refills, in which case you will given empty drinks cups.

Place your rubbish in the bin provided and leave the tray on top.

Almost all locations also have drive-throughs.

Breakfasts

Big Country Platter (scrambled egg, country fries, biscuits, jam, with a choice of sausage meat, bacon or ham) - excellent value for money $2.19 (summer 1997)

Steak and Egg Breakfast Sandwich (two rounds of Texas toast with a filling of strips of steak, egg in omelette style and molten cheese) $2.99 (summer 1997)

Texas Toast Breakfast Sandwich (two rounds of Texas toast with a filling of egg in omelette style, thin slices of roast beef, bacon in UK style and a slice of cheese) $2.19 (summer 1997)

Frisco (two rounds of Texas toast with various choices of filling)

Biscuits with various fillings.

Lunch And Dinner

Burgers.

In the summer of 2000 Hardee's range included Italian Frisco Burgers, with garlic flavoured Texas toast instead of burger buns. I can highly recommend these.

Chicken sandwiches (chicken in a bun).

Fried chicken pieces. Hardee's probably offers better value for money than KFC for fried chicken pieces, provided you like their coating which is somewhat harder and crisper than KFC's. Both chains tend to include biscuits (i.e. scones) with fried chicken.

Chicken meal (four pieces of chicken, two biscuits and mashed potato) $3.99 (summer 2000)

Roast beef sandwiches

Big Roast Beef Sandwich (including free fries) $2.39 (summer 1997)

Salads.

Fries.

Senior Discounts

10% senior discount at all locations. You may require a card, which is given free at all locations - just ask.

Opinion

Quality of food - consistently excellent.

Value for money - generally excellent.

Cleanliness - consistently spotless.

Quality and speed of service - consistently excellent. We find that the staff at Hardee's tend to be of a higher standard than at some of the other fast food chains.

A particularly attractive feature of Hardee's is their huge variety of menu options, both for breakfasts and for lunch/dinner.
