This Hardee's stands out from other fast food restaurants—it's family-friendly, clean, and the food quality is excellent. Throughout the pandemic, they consistently supported the community. What we appreciate most is that they haven’t skimped on their food portions, and our orders are always 100% accurate. Thank you for taking pride in your business! - Ray Rosie

Yep. I said it alright, I said I would do fast food reviews as a lot of the independent places, sadly, did not survive the said pandemic. I know a lot of Americans dine at these places daily so it was about time I bit the bullet and hit them up anyway. My first foray into the fast-food industry was to be Hardee's (or Carl's Jr. if you are west of the Mississippi) in Melbourne, FL. I have seen the commercials for their fresh homemade to order biscuits for breakfast and I have to admit I was intrigued to try these as they are the only fast food place to advertise as such. The thing that made this Hardee's so unique from the thousands around the country is that it has been in the same hands for over 30 years and the owners (a husband and wife team) are always found working themselves and have a reputation in the area for never scrimping on quality or customer service. I approached the counter and was greeted warmly by the wife of the team and asked if I was ready to place my order. I proceeded to ask for one Chicken biscuit breakfast sandwich, one Country-fried steak biscuit sandwich, a Frisco breakfast sandwich and a cinnamon roll. The glory, and I mean that of these breakfast namkeens are the made in-house biscuits and the recipe is spot on. These were so incredibly delicious I couldn't believe I was at a fast-food restaurant and not a place specializing in breakfasts. The chicken biscuit was filled with an entire breast of hand-dipped chicken and this had a great combo of flavors and just danced all over my taste buds. The country-fried steak biscuit was not as flavorful nor fun on the palate as the chicken was but still mobbed with loads of flavor. The Frisco Breakfast sandwich is the only non-biscuit one I ordered. However, I still found it to be a fun meal with tavern ham and eggs on Texas toast. It was your basic breakfast sandwich, but still a home run on flavor. This brings us to the last item to be tasted, tested and reviewed, the Cinnamon roll. According to the owner, the know-it-alls at corporate HQ thought it was a good idea to replace the cinnamon biscuit with your more traditional roll. This did not and does not sit well with this owner as she stated that the cinnamon biscuit was a huge seller. I don't think these are made in-house, but it was very good and sugary nonetheless. It sure is great finding owners that obviously care so much about the quality of food that comes out of their kitchen and pleasant customer service. The Big Boy says, “If you are in a pinch for a quick pie-hole stuffing before work or just in the mood for some authentic down-home style made in house biscuit sammiches, Hardee's/Carl's Jr. is for you.”
