What Makes Hardee's Different
Hardee's has been serving made-from-scratch food since 1960. A few things consistently stand out:
🥐 Made From Scratch™ Biscuits
Biscuits are hand-crafted fresh throughout the day — not reheated or frozen. The result is a buttery, layered biscuit that sets Hardee's breakfast apart.
🔥 Charbroiled Burgers
Burgers are charbroiled over an open flame rather than cooked on a flat griddle. That cooking method gives Hardee's beef its distinctive flavor and grill marks.
💪 Hand-Breaded Chicken
Chicken Tenders and sandwiches are hand-breaded fresh daily — not pre-battered in a factory — for a crispier exterior and juicier interior.
💰 Value Across the Board
From the $1.29 Plain Biscuit to the $6.99 Original Bag, Hardee's offers multiple price tiers so there's an option for every budget.
Breakfast: The Hardee's Specialty
Hardee's breakfast runs from 6 AM to 10:30 AM at most locations, featuring the Monster Biscuit®, Frisco Breakfast Sandwiches®, breakfast burritos, and 18+ biscuit varieties. The plain biscuit starts at $1.29; loaded options top out around $6. For the full list with prices, visit the Hardee's breakfast menu page.
