Hardee’s

I ordered the hot ham & cheese combo. There were maybe two slices of ham on the sandwich. I asked them if they could give me a new one with more meat on it, but no. They preceded to put the exact same amount of ham on the sandwich & made no difference to what I had to begin with. An employee who was probably sixteen, named Megan was eating behind the counter, sitting on the floor of the kitchen, & hitting other employees on the butt not doing anything that she should have been while working at a restaurant. I do not recommend this as a place to eat.

Order is almost always wrong — honest to God. Fries are usually old or cold or both. You never see the same person working here twice.

I have eaten at a lot of Hardees over the years and always love when steak biscuits are the promo. Stopped by this one on my way to work this morning and got two. For the first time EVER I couldn’t eat them. Not sure just how many days old the biscuits were but it was obvious they had been microwaved. Totally disgusting but a dead Hardees at 7am should have been warning enough. Lesson learned I won’t make that mistake again. I will just wait and find the next one.

There are only two reasons why anybody goes to Hardee’s in China Grove:
1 — It’s better for breakfast than cereal
2 — It’s literally the only «fast food» place in town
The service is horrible. More times than not, your order will be wrong — so be sure to check it before you drive off.
If someone has a big or complicated order, they don’t have them pull off to the side, but instead allow the drive thru to back up into the road. This practice also results in your food being cold before it ever passes through the window.
It what can only be described as a rigged-​up mess, they have put a credit card reader on some contraption that hangs below the drive through window that is supposed to allow the driver to swipe their own card. While this may, in-​concept, speed up the process the sad reality is it doesn’t work any better than it looks. I’ve sat in line and watched the cashier tell countless drivers to swipe their own card, only to ultimately take the card and swipe it inside after a couple failed attempts to scan. This contraption single-​handedly adds 20 – 30 seconds of extra wait time for each car in the drive thru.
Hopefully one day we’ll get a Wendy’s or Chick-​fil-​A in China Grove, then they can tear this place down & use it for their parking lot.
