Hardee's Mushroom and Swiss burger

The only thing consistent about the Hardee's near me is how slow they are. I'm talking minimum of minutes from order to leaving with food.
 
IMO Five Guys burgers are marginal and agree with TR that their soggy fries suck

Several years back Hardees saw the light with respect to continuing business in the industry and stepped up their game on their burgers. The result is pretty d*mn good.

Their Mushroom and Swiss burger is a favorite of mine. I could take a Mushroom and Swiss meal and substitute another Mushroom and Swiss burger for the fries and be a happy clam.
 
The best burger around here is at Ted's Montana Grill in Durham. They have bison burgers and they are excellent. They also have great onion rings. In fact I can't think of a time when I ever had a bad meal there. When they have the prime rib special, I always get it.

No Chic-fil-a either.

You poor, deprived, SOB. You ain't had a chicken sammich until you've had a Chic-fil-A.

You wanna know a cool fact about Chic-fil-A sammiches? You can refrigerate them, pull them out later and reheat them, and they STILL taste awesome! Heck, I'll even eat them straight from the 'fridge!

It's a Christmas tradition with my wife and her family...buy a buncha Chic-fil-A sammiches the last day before Christmas that they're open so we can have them Christmas day for lunch.

Really? I like their fries. Not nearly so much as, say, McDonalds fries, but they're pretty good in my opinion. They make them fresh from potatoes right there, which is why they don't taste like fries most people are used to.

And they give you a TON of fries in an order!

Oh, I've had their sammiches and I agree about their awesomeness. It just sucks that I have to drive an hour before I even see one.

Giant burgers, huge orders of fries. I only eat a couple of fries whenever we go there, but I enjoy them. They're not the best, but I don't sample every fry I see either.

I like the full-size burger (two patties) all the way and wrapped in lettuce.
 
I am lucky with my local Hardees. Best burgers in town. (small town!) Staff is efficient if not pretty. Can still order a low carb breakfast bowl or a Chicken, bacon, swiss. Things they no longer have listed on the menu. I never get the fries because they suck, but one of the 1/3 lb bacon cheeseburgers is all I need for lunch

I'd be a lot more interested in Chick-fil-A if they made fried chicken. I don't want a chicken sandwich, I want drumsticks, thighs and biscuits.

Their customer service does blow away everyone else in the fast food space.

I credit Chic-fil-A with returning polite manners to the fast food service industry. They're the FIRST I can recall who went back to the basics with "My pleasure!" (And actually MEAN it when they say it.) And taking your name for the order, too, instead of simply calling out an impersonal number from the receipt. In the ones I frequent, they also usually have someone walking around making sure your drinks are refilled, and stuff.
 
Last time I went to Hardee's was the one on 321 in Gastonia. I was coming down 85 and about got killed in 8am traffic so I decided to get off the highway and clean my shorts out. Came across this one and they had 2 Frisco breakfast sammiches for $3. I took advantage of that. Then stayed on 321 down to Clover where my brother lives. I couldn't afford another crap myself incident. The second would've came with a heart attack

They give away extra fries because they SUCK and can't sell all of them.

I was really impressed with Arby's ruben sammich the other day, but then had one a week later from the same location and it lost its luster. No consistency.
 
I tried a Jack in the Box in Nashville years ago. I couldn't see what all the fuss is about.

I want to try a What-a-Burger the next time we're in Texas.
 
Jack in the box was our go to breakfast sandwich, unfortunately, jack went out of business in our small town, a dq moved into the same location and is thriving, the 5 buck lunch seems to be their big seller

They heard you. Kinda, homestyle meals, white meat (eww), biscuits, traditional sides. Only in 3 cities right now, Greensboro in NC.

Sounds good to me! Just that much more for me to eat!

Which is funny as h*ll because they bought the Roy Rogers chain to "get their chicken recipe".



Yeah, but you can just eat half the biscuit or none of it depending on what you get. I haven't had one in a long time but Hardee's steak biscuits used to be the best tasting of any of the chains.

I haven't had a Hardee's anything in 40 years, but you're correct that the steak biscuit was very good way back when!
 
Ok, I left out that anybody that would eat mushrooms would eat a booger! I've got all kinds of shrooms growing in the horse crap pile out behind the barn. I ain't eatin no fungus that was picked outta horse shit in the dark! That's like eatin oysters! All you need is one and a string and you can eat them all day! Just pull it back up! I wonder what was going through the first guy's mind that eat an oyster? Gee, that looks appetizing!

Or the first guy to see a big white thing drop outta chicken's butt and said "I think I'll eat that!" ?

I don't know but you can come by and try all you want! If you're still alive in the morning, you can tell us! :D
 
Self-inflicted pain looking at this thread on a (meatless) Friday, but for a mushroom/swiss burger, HWY 55 is a good eat.

I like Hwy 55, but I've noticed that they have the same consistency problems from store to store that Hardee's does. Good, greasy burger though.
