Carl's Jr./Hardee's - THE SMILING STAR

[TVB]

Let's discuss Carl's Jr. (west-to-mid coast)/Hardee's (mid-to-east coast).

Also, my favorite item is the Western Bacon.

 

[I Love Beef]

Haven't eaten them a lot because their locations are so rare. I like their swiss and mushroom burgers with poutine gravy though.

As fast food Hamburgers go, western bacon with a side of crisscuts fries is god tier cheat day junk food.

 

[Blasterisk]

Fuck you, I'm eating!

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Literally none where I live for probably states

 

[Idiot Doom Spiral]

Speaking as a non-resident to the U of SA, wasn’t Carl’s Jr the outlet which ran provocative adverts starring various shameless whores fellating burgers and lubing up with ranch sauce?

That's right. They were known for those ads, but stopped doing them a few years ago.

I live in an area with a few Hardee's locations around me. The ones near my work are actually pretty good. The Mushroom & Swiss has been my go to for years. Though their Chicken & Waffle sandwich has been my crack lately, especially with extra glaze.

 

[Dom Cruise]

I tried them again recently in fact, for the first time in like 9 years.

It was ok, but not good enough to really justify going to the out of the way location it's at.

 

[Medulseur]

They have the second best chicken nuggets and their curly fries are pretty good.

 

[Jason Wynn]

They’re my favorite of the big chain burger joints. Gotta love that western bacon cheeseburger, the Big Carl is really good too

Our local Carl's closed a year or so ago and I'm bummed because it was a combo Carl's Jr./ Green Burrito. Not only could you dip your fries and star nuggies into your milkshake, but you could also dip your tortilla chips and bean burrito in it like a true chad.

 

[Exceptionally Exceptional]

I remember way back Hardee's had this breakfast sammich that was absolutely a symbol of hedonistic decadence like no other.
1/4 pound sausage patty, bacon, eggs, cheese, on grilled sourdough bread. Thing had about 1,000 calories. Overkill, obviously, but the thing was goddamn fantastic.

 

[Wormy]

5 bucks and I can get a two piece fried chicken and potatoes with drink. It's worth exactly that.

 

[Xarpho]

Most of the Texas stores closed a few years ago (a few still do exist, but almost exclusively in truck stops), so I only got to try it once (there were none in my part of the state). It does taste a little different than say, Whataburger or Wendy's, and some choices in burgers is nice, but I don't think it was really necessary.

Almost none of them were Green Burrito co-brand stores. The only co-brand store I know of opened in a small town outside of Austin, one of the early stores in the state, but everything else, including all of their Houston and Dallas stores, were just regular ones.

 

[Drain Todger]

I tried an El Diablo today. Never had Carl's Jr. before. It was fucking amazing. Almost as good as Zippy's, which sadly closed down because of the stupid fucking COVID bullshit. I mean, it wasn't the best burger I'd ever had, but I would at least rank it as more than adequate. A solid 8/10. The patty actually had flavor and some char to it. Underrated!

 

[Flesh Ribbons]

I miss Hardees fried chicken. That chicken was amazing.

 

[ZipDisk]

I missed out on the gold digger burger because I was working in a non Carl's state when it was out.
And the LTO they decide to revive "forever" is the stupid mexican one.

 

[Tsukasa Kadoya]

Hardees curly fries were better than Arbys. A hard truth but it had to be said.
