I remember growing up in Leavenworth I liked going there. But having moved away and now living in the northeast, they are hard to find. I think I would eat there if I could find one within an hour's drive.

As a West Coast transplant I can say Carl's Jr. makes me slight more nauseous after eating than Hardee's did. But other than that they're very similar.

The only thing I eat at Hardees is their breakfast sandwiches. Best fast food biscuits, bar none.

I don't have those near me now, so I haven't eaten in one for years.
I have fond memories of Hardee's growing up. As a teenager, I thought they had very good food, and my local restaurant had one half of a twin package named Courtney who enchanted me, so I would go there just to hear her say "ham and cheese", and possibly brush my hand as she handed me my change. But that's off topic. Let's just say that I liked Hardee's. I have a policy against going to Carl's Jr when I'm traveling, mostly because I despise those commercials that have people making crunching and grunting and slurping sounds while they're eating. I don't wish to make those sounds and I don't wish to be near people who make those sounds and I don't wish to support a business that supports making those sounds. Their commercials also give me a distinct feeling that their food is mega-caloric, and that if I eat a small hamburger there I'll overshoot my daily calories for the next two days. I recognize that's their brand, and maybe they're right to go for the loud-eating gluttonous market, but that's not me. Relative to other fast-food brands, I would rate Carl's Jr closer to Long John Silver's than anything else. Both places have flavorful, plentiful food that's incredibly unhealthy. Jack in the Box would also live close to them on the brand map. I would place Hardee's closest to Arby's. Good creative menu variety and generally good food. If they were cars, Carl's Jr. would be a 60s muscle car that looks cool, but is loud and get 8 mpg. Hardees would be a Chrysler Crossfire - good and underrated, not well known, and canceled before its time.

Breakfast biscuit sandwiches are damn good. I also like their Sourdough Thickburger. I like their curly fries better than traditional fries.
They are a little pricey though. Sent from my SM-S906L using Tapatalk

This thread again?
The Frisco Breakfast Sammich is probably the best fast food breakfast, period.

LOVE the Western Bacon Cheeseburger! But you have to order it with extra BBQ or it is too dry.
I know I shared this story on here before but it is a favorite of mine so I will do so again: Back 20 some years ago I was living in Flagstaff. At the time Carl's Jr had an ad campaign of "If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face." So a guy travelling through Flagstaff on I-70 from LA to somewhere inland stopped at Carl's Jr. He then kept driving his U-haul truck down the highway eating his burger. It was messy (as it should be!) so he was weaving a bit on the road. Cop pulls him over thinking he may be drunk. Well, in Flagstaff (at least at that time) if you were pulled over on I-70 they brought out the drug dogs as a matter of routine. And that is how Carl's Jr helped to bust this guy with his couple hundred pounds of pot in the back of the U-haul! |

Yeah so I think their current tag line on the bags is "Pioneers of the Great American Burger"
Does that mean anything to you guys? IS that even claimable? Feel true? I remember the messy commercials and then they did the hot chicks and cleavage eating the burgers forever. Remember that stuff? Fap-worthy? Did it make you go there? |

I like Hardees a great deal, but I don't go because the closest one to me is not only the farthest from me of about all the fast food options, it's fairly uniquely situated to be inconvenient for me personally.
Basically, it's right at the foot of an offramp for the interstate at a particularly congested area. So I either travel up there via the thoroughfares THEN negotiate the Gordian's Knot of traffic right at their front entrance, or I take a bunch of backroads through residential areas to sneak in their back entrance. |

The one in St Joe makes you turn left at a shit intersection. Fast food that I go to in St Joe would be the self checkout line at Wal mart
