Ordering Guide & Tips
A Famous Star® at Hardee’s costs $5.79–$6.49, a Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich costs $5.29–$5.99, and the Monster Burger® — the biggest burger on the menu — costs $9.29–$11.09. Kids’ StarPals® meals cost $5.19–$5.39. Hardee’s sets no single national price, so every price on this page is the verified range from Hardee’s own online ordering system, pulled live on 25–26 October 2026 at stores in Lexington, NC, Union City, TN and Moneta, VA. Below is the full Hardee’s menu — charbroiled burgers, hand-breaded chicken, sides and drinks, and the Made From Scratch™ biscuit breakfast the chain is famous for — with the official calories Hardee’s publishes for every item. Breakfast is Hardee’s signature daypart, and it ends at 10:30 AM: the breakfast items below carry their official names, builds and calories, and their prices were captured from the same three restaurants’ ordering menus during breakfast hours on 26 October 2026, before the 10:30 AM switch. The one exception is the Breakfast Combos, whose price is set by the drink and size choices made inside the order flow, so they carry no printed price.
How Hardee’s Works: Two Dayparts, One Menu
Hardee’s runs two menus a day. Breakfast — biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, burritos and platters — is served from opening until 10:30 AM. The lunch and dinner menu of charbroiled burgers, hand-breaded chicken and sides takes over at 10:30 AM and runs until closing. The full list for both dayparts, with prices and calories, is in the menu on this page: 176 items in 12 categories.
Every burger and chicken sandwich is also sold as a combo — the sandwich plus fries and a beverage — and Hardee’s publishes the combos as their own menu categories, which is why they appear that way here. Combo calories are published as ranges (for example, the Famous Star® Combo runs 850–1,570 calories) because the total moves with your fries and drink choices.
The burgers are charbroiled 100% Angus beef, built as quarter-pound patties on toasted brioche-style buns unless the description says otherwise. The chicken line is hand-breaded: fillets and tenders dipped in buttermilk, lightly breaded and fried in store. There is no separate value menu category on the current menu — the value formats live in Meal Deals and in the Original Bag offers covered under Deals below.
Charbroiled Burgers
The burger Hardee’s is built on is the Famous Star® — a quarter-pound Angus patty with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, sliced onions, dill pickles, ketchup and mayonnaise, for $5.79–$6.49 and 580 calories. The Super Star® doubles it: two patties, two slices of cheese, the same toppings, $7.49–$8.99 and 850 calories.
The top of the line is the Monster Burger® — two quarter-pound patties, four strips of bacon, three slices of American cheese and mayonnaise — at $9.29–$11.09, the highest verified price on the burger menu, and 1,010 calories. The Bacon Beast line runs close behind: the Bacon Beast Burger Double (two patties, four slices of cherrywood smoked bacon) costs $9.49–$9.79, and the Single costs $7.49–$7.99.
The Frisco® burgers are the sourdough builds: the Hardee’s Frisco® stacks a quarter-pound patty with crispy bacon, Swiss cheese, tomato and mayonnaise on toasted sourdough for $6.69–$8.79 (740 calories), and the Double Hardee’s Frisco® runs $8.39–$10.79 (1,020 calories). The Mushroom & Swiss pairs its patty with melted Swiss and mushroom sauce for $6.29–$8.19. The plainest full-size burger is the Big Cheeseburger — patty, American cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard — at $4.69–$5.99 and 520 calories, the lightest of the national burgers.
The “Angus” Names in Lexington, NC
One of the three stores checked — Lexington, NC — sells this same burger line under renamed “Angus” titles on its online ordering menu: Angus Star™ ($6.99), Angus Big Cheese, Angus Frisco™, Angus Mushroom Swiss, Angus Bacon and the Monster Angus Triple™ ($10.49), built as 1/3-lb patties crafted into two patties, with Triple versions of several builds. Those rows are flagged in the menu on this page as Lexington ordering names. The Tennessee and Virginia stores, and hardees.com itself, sell the classic names — Famous Star®, Super Star®, Frisco® — so the Angus titles are a market variation, not a national rename. Two more local rows: a Small Hamburger ($2.59, 250 calories) and Small Cheeseburger ($2.89, 300 calories) appear on the Moneta, VA ordering menu only.
Chicken & More
The chicken line is hand-breaded in store. The Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich — a buttermilk-dipped, lightly breaded fillet with mayonnaise and pickles — costs $5.29–$5.99 (560 calories). The BLT version adds bacon, lettuce and tomato for $6.69–$7.59; the Nashville Hot version is tossed in Nashville Hot seasoning for $6.19–$6.29; and the Bacon Beast Chicken Sandwich layers four slices of cherrywood smoked bacon for $7.49–$7.79.
Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders™ come in 3-piece ($5.19–$6.09, 260 calories) and 5-piece ($6.49–$8.19, 440 calories) orders, with a Spicy version of each ($5.69–$6.29 and $6.99–$8.39). Boxes of 10, 15 or 20 tenders are sold for sharing. Tender Wraps — Spicy, Honey Mustard and Ranch — run as a 2 for $5 Tender Wraps offer at $5.00. Every tender order comes with your choice of dipping sauce.
The rest of the category is Hardee’s legacy sandwich counter: the Original Hot Ham ‘N’ Cheese™ ($3.49–$4.49) and the bigger Big Hot Ham ‘N’ Cheese™ ($5.49–$5.69), and the Jumbo Chili Dog ($3.29–$3.49) — a 2 for $5 Chili Dog offer was also on the Lexington and Moneta ordering menus at $5.00.
Roast beef needs a caveat: hardees.com still publishes the Original Roast Beef Sandwich (380 calories), the Big Roast Beef (530) and the Monster Roast Beef (760), and they are listed in the menu on this page — but roast beef was not available on the online ordering menus of any of the three stores checked in October 2026, so no verified online price exists for it and availability is regional. Do not count on finding it at every Hardee’s.
Currently featured: Bubba’s Full Throttle Meal — five Spicy Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders with Buffalo Ranch dipping sauce, fries and a drink, plus a Hardee’s x Bubba Wallace collectible diecast car, while supplies last (610 calories for the tenders build) — and the Bacon Beast Homestyle Breakfast Burrito on the breakfast side.
Breakfast: Made From Scratch™ Biscuits
Breakfast is the daypart Hardee’s is known for, and it is built on one item: the Made From Scratch™ Biscuit, baked in store — a fresh batch comes out of the oven every 15 minutes, by Hardee’s own description. Sixteen biscuit sandwiches are on the current menu, and every one of them is listed with its official build and calories in the menu on this page.
The head of the lineup is the Monster Biscuit® — bacon, a sausage patty, sliced ham, egg and two slices of American cheese on one biscuit — at 820 calories. The Super Sausage Biscuit is heavier still: two sausage patties, two slices of cheese and a fried egg, 930 calories, the heaviest biscuit on the menu. The everyday anchors sit lower: the Sausage Biscuit is 630 calories, the Sausage & Egg Biscuit 740, the Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit 530, and the lightest biscuit sandwich is the Country Ham Biscuit at 410 calories. The Biscuit ‘N’ Gravy™ — one biscuit smothered in sausage gravy — is 500 calories, and the Double Biscuit ‘N’ Gravy is 1,000. The Hand-Breaded Chicken Biscuit (610 calories) and its Spicy version (620) carry the lunch chicken line into the morning, and the Pork Chop ‘N’ Gravy Biscuit (550) and Country Fried Steak Biscuit (650) round out the Southern end of the case. One current note from Hardee’s own item descriptions: during the ongoing national egg shortage, eggs on some items may be served folded rather than fried.
Beyond Biscuits: Homestyle Favorites
The non-biscuit breakfast menu is the Homestyle Favorites: the Hardee Breakfast Platter® (a biscuit with gravy, two eggs, Hash Rounds® and your choice of protein, 970–1,170 calories); the Frisco Breakfast Sandwich® on toasted sourdough with bacon, sausage or ham (490–630 calories depending on the protein); two loaded breakfast burritos served with Texas Pete hot sauce — the Homestyle Loaded Breakfast Burrito (810 calories) and the Homestyle Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Burrito (930); and a brioche line of bacon, sausage and super builds (420–790 calories).
Breakfast Combos and Biscuit Packs
Every breakfast sandwich is also sold as a combo with Hash Rounds® and a beverage — 25 breakfast combos in all, with published calorie ranges such as 770–1,580 for the Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit Combo and 1,060–1,870 for the Monster Biscuit® Combo. For groups, the Meal Deals case sells biscuits in bulk: 6 Made From Scratch™ Biscuits (2,010 calories for the pack) and 12-packs of plain biscuits (4,030), Sausage Biscuits (6,310) and Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuits (6,040).
Breakfast is not served all day. It ends at 10:30 AM — the exact cutoff, and Hardee’s own “hours may vary” wording, are stated in the Hours section below. Breakfast prices were captured on a second pull during breakfast hours on 26 October 2026 and are printed with the items above. Hardee’s online ordering displays only the daypart in progress, so the capture had to happen before the 10:30 AM switch. The one remaining gap is the Breakfast Combos: their price is set by drink and size selections inside the order flow, so no verified combo price is published, and no estimated figures have been substituted from delivery apps.
Prices
Hardee’s prices are set by each restaurant, and the verified ranges on this page come from Hardee’s own online ordering system (order.hardees.com — the same system that powers the Hardee’s app), pulled live on 25–26 October 2026 at three stores: Lexington, NC; Union City, TN; and Moneta, VA. Each range is the lowest to the highest price found for that item across the three stores. 97 of the 176 items on this menu carry a verified price this way, spanning $0.99 to $49.99.
The anchor prices: the Famous Star® is $5.79–$6.49, the Super Star® $7.49–$8.99, the Monster Burger® $9.29–$11.09, and the Big Cheeseburger $4.69–$5.99. Chicken anchors lower: the Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich is $5.29–$5.99, 3-piece tenders $5.19–$6.09 and 5-piece tenders $6.49–$8.19. StarPals® kids’ meals are flat across the board at $5.19–$5.39. The cheapest verified item on the menu is a Side of Cheddar Cheese Sauce at $0.99–$1.30; the value sandwiches in Meal Deals start at $3.29 for a Double Cheeseburger, with a $3.99 Bacon Double Cheeseburger on the Union City menu. The three Original Bag meals carry their prices in their names: $5.99, $6.99 and $7.99.
Union City, TN is the high-price store of the three on chicken — its 5-piece tenders cost $8.19 against $6.49 at both other stores, and it is where the Monster Burger® hits the $11.09 top of the range. Lexington and Moneta agree on most items.
Three classes of price are deliberately not printed, because Hardee’s does not publish them on a surface that can be verified. Combos and sized items — fries, drinks and shakes are priced by the size you pick inside the order flow, so combo totals and size prices are not listed; the combo calorie ranges are printed instead. Breakfast prices were captured during breakfast hours on 26 October 2026, as explained in the Breakfast section; only the Breakfast Combos remain unpriced, because their price is set by selections inside the order flow. Roast beef was not orderable online at any store checked, so it carries no online price. Delivery-app prices are not used anywhere on this page — they run above in-store prices.
Sides, Sweets, Drinks & Kids’ Meals
The two house fries are Natural-Cut French Fries (300–460 calories by size) and Crispy Curls® (310–460), and both come loaded versions: Bacon Cheddar French Fries are $3.99 and the Bacon Cheddar Loaded Crispy Curls $4.29, each topped with cheddar cheese sauce and bacon bits. Hash Rounds® (240–490 calories) are the breakfast potato but sit on the all-day sides list, including a Sausage Gravy & Cheddar Hash Rounds build at 540 calories. Mozzarella Wedges with marinara are $4.99, Beer-Battered Onion Rings are $3.79, and Grits — a Southern breakfast side at 100 calories — carry Hardee’s own line on their item page: “Breakfast served until 10:30am.”
Sweets are built around the Apple Turnover ($1.49–$1.69, 270 calories; a 2-pack is sold at 540), the Cinnamon Roll ($2.89–$2.99, 520 calories), the Cinnamon ‘N’ Raisin Biscuit and the S’mores Fried Pie ($1.99, 380 calories). Shakes are Hand-Scooped Ice Cream Shakes™ in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry (690–710 calories), with a S’mores Hand-Scooped Shake at $4.99 and 910 calories — the heaviest single item on the sweet side.
Drinks run from Rise and Shine Coffee (100% Arabica, regular and decaf) and Iced Coffee (10–280 calories depending on syrup and cream) to the Hand-Crafted Lemonades ($3.49–$3.79), sweet and unsweetened teas, soft drinks, Simply Orange® juice ($3.19), Dasani® water ($2.59) and 1% milk ($2.39). Drink sizes are chosen in the order flow, so fountain sizes carry calorie ranges rather than fixed figures.
StarPals® Kids Meals are five: 2-piece Chicken Tender, Cheeseburger, Hamburger, Grilled Cheese and Hot Dog meals, each with a kid’s fry, organic apple sauce and a kid’s drink, priced $5.19–$5.39 with published meal calories of 410 to 650.
Sauces
Tenders and tender wraps are served with your choice of dipping sauce at the counter. The sauces named on the current official menu are: Buffalo Ranch (the dipping sauce in Bubba’s Full Throttle Meal), Horseradish and tangy BBQ (the two sauces served with the roast beef sandwiches), mushroom sauce (the finish on the Mushroom & Swiss burgers), warm marinara (served with the Mozzarella Wedges), cheddar cheese sauce (sold as a side for $0.99–$1.30, 90 calories, and used on the loaded fries), sausage gravy (sold as a side at 160 calories and poured over the Biscuit ‘N’ Gravy™ and Pork Chop ‘N’ Gravy Biscuit), and Texas Pete hot sauce, which is served with the breakfast burritos.
Nutrition & Calories
Every calorie figure on this page is Hardee’s own published figure: taken from the official item pages on hardees.com and cross-checked against the chain’s official “US Nutrition Values 2025” chart (hardees.com/nutritional-info, stated current as of 1-8-2025). Where the ordering system showed a different number, the published nutrition figure is the one printed — the Famous Star® is 580 calories, not the 550 the ordering display showed, and the Monster Burger® is 1,010, not 960.
Calories in the Most-Asked Items

The lightest full-size burger is the Big Cheeseburger at 520 calories; the lightest sandwich on the menu overall is the Small Hamburger (250 calories) sold on the Moneta, VA ordering menu. The lightest chicken order is the 3-piece tenders at 260. At breakfast, the Country Ham Biscuit (410) is the lightest biscuit sandwich, and Grits (100) are the lightest side on the menu after the kids’ drinks and apple sauce (35–45 calories). At the top end, the Double Hardee’s Frisco® (1,020) and Monster Burger® (1,010) are the heaviest sandwiches, the Super Sausage Biscuit (930) is the heaviest biscuit, the S’mores Shake (910) is the heaviest drink, and the largest combo range — the Double Biscuit ‘N’ Gravy Combo — tops out at 2,050 calories.
Ten of the 176 rows carry no calorie figure, each for a stated reason: the Beer-Battered Onion Rings (hardees.com itself displays a “0 cals” placeholder for them — no official figure exists); the Cinnamon ‘N’ Raisin Biscuit single and 4-pack (their item pages now redirect and the item is absent from the 2025 chart); the three Original Bags (the total depends on the sandwiches chosen); Dasani® Water and the two Rise and Shine coffees (no figure published on their item pages); and the Bubba Wallace diecast car, which is merchandise, not food. No figure has been estimated for any of them.
Allergens & Dietary
Hardee’s publishes its allergen information in the same official nutrition chart at hardees.com/nutritional-info. The chart discloses the nine FDA major allergens for every item: egg, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, wheat and sesame.
Hardee’s own warning on that chart is printed here in full because it governs every answer below: “All food items are prepared in the same kitchen. Cross-contact may occur, and we cannot guarantee that any menu item does not contain a certain allergen… We do not have an allergen-free cooking environment in our kitchens.” The chart also notes that shakes and malts may be processed in facilities where peanuts or tree nuts are present.
Deals, Coupons & My Rewards
The standing value formats verified on the October 2026 menu are the Original Bags and the Meal Deals. The Original Bag is a bundled meal at three price points: the $5.99 Original Bag (one full-size sandwich with fries and a drink), the $6.99 Original Bag (two full-size sandwiches with fries and a drink) and the $7.99 Original Bag (two full-size sandwiches with fries, a drink and a warm apple turnover). Meal Deals hold the $3.29 Double Cheeseburger and the $3.99 Bacon Double Cheeseburger spotted at Union City, and the 2 for $5 Tender Wraps and 2 for $5 Chili Dog offers run at $5.00.
Coupons and promo codes at Hardee’s live in the Hardee’s app: offers are loaded to the app and redeemed by applying them to an order or presenting them in store, and they rotate by region and by week. My Rewards, the loyalty program in the same app, earns Stars on orders — Hardee’s own item descriptions carry the line “download our app and join My Rewards to earn Stars for each delicious order” — and Stars are redeemed for food rewards inside the program. This page does not print coupon codes or promo expiry dates, because app offers change too quickly for a printed code to stay true; the current offers are the ones shown in the app and on the official offers page.
Older deal names still searched for — the $5 All Star Meal and the 2 for $5 breakfast offers — are not on the current official menu checked in October 2026. The Original Bag and Meal Deals formats above are the value lineup that replaced them.
Hours
Breakfast ends at 10:30 AM. That is Hardee’s own published line — it appears verbatim on the chain’s official item pages: “Breakfast served until *10:30am (*Hours may vary by day)”. The lunch and dinner menu starts at the same moment: at the Lexington, NC store, the ordering system’s availability windows for lunch items begin at 10:30 AM daily. If you want a biscuit, 10:30 AM is the cutoff to plan around, with Hardee’s own caveat that the exact day can vary.
Hardee’s publishes no chain-wide opening time and no single national timetable — each restaurant sets its own hours, and the official store locator on hardees.com and the Hardee’s app are the source of truth for a specific store. The pattern at the Lexington, NC store checked for this page is an opening at 5:00 AM Monday to Saturday and 6:00 AM on Sunday, with the store open into the evening (9:00 PM at that location). Other stores open and close earlier or later than that, and breakfast-focused locations exist, so check your store before an early or late run.
Gift Cards
You can check a Hardee’s gift card balance through the official channels:
- Online: the gift card page on Hardee’s official site (hardees.com) — enter the card number and PIN and the balance is shown on screen.
- In store: any Hardee’s restaurant can check the balance at the register.
Cards are sold at Hardee’s restaurants, on the official site, and at grocery and retail stores, and they are redeemed at participating Hardee’s restaurants.
Items Not on the Current Menu
Several items people keep searching for are not on the verified October 2026 menu:
- The $6 Burger / Six Dollar Burger — not on any current official menu checked. It is a legacy name (and a Carl’s Jr. association), not a Hardee’s item you can order today.
- Thickburger®-named items — the current burger line is sold as Charbroiled Burgers; no item carries the Thickburger® name, as covered above.
- Western Bacon Cheeseburger® — a Carl’s Jr. item. It is not sold at Hardee’s and does not appear here.
- Fried chicken pieces (legs, thighs, breasts) — they appear in old datasets only. The current chicken menu is hand-breaded sandwiches, tenders and wraps; there are no bone-in fried chicken pieces.
- Salads — the current official menu has no salad section.
- Prime Rib burgers — a past limited-time line; no Prime Rib item appears on the October 2026 menus checked.
- Sunrise Croissant — it appears in the 2025 nutrition chart (410 calories) but has no page on the current hardees.com menu, so it is not listed as a current item.
