Im apaulled by the new Hardee's commercial with the woman that the drive in. Please remove it from daytime television as it is inappropriate for family viewing! Not to mention the commercial late last year about the new Turkey in town.

about 7 years ago, a young man named Brian ran the hardees on w. 192, he mmoved to okoee and this one went under due to lack of service and quality. we drove to ocoee just to eat at hardees where he went and it was good. 30 miles one way. now there is this one open in kissimmee, buena venture lakes and if it keeps going the way its going, it too, will be closed. we went this morning and it took 20 minutes to get a biscuit/gray and bacon, egg, cheese sandwich. the manager there was doing all the fixing and one girl at the counter. 9 people in line, like i said, mine took 20 minutes. the other 8 were behind me still waiting when we left. not good folks. people like hardees, but the service has to get better or they wont come to visit. good luck and thanks for at least the good biscuits.

Leaving things out of orders and not wanting to fill orders an hour before quiting time. Ignoring phone calls. I was once an employee of Hardees and was required to fill orders,till closing time. How can you be closed, when your closing time was an hour away. I sent my husband to make a order,which was partially refused, at 10:00 pm on saturday night.

I was employed by Hardee's since October. I started as a biscuit maker and worked up to Assistant Manager. I was patient with this company through everything. I sat in the parking lot waiting for General Manager to show up. Longest wait was 5 hours. I was paid for these hours nor a bunch of other hours owed. My father in law passed away in February o 2014. I took 3 days off for grieving and upon my return work I was let go. I'm still waiting for a total of 45 hours of pay since November. I'm very disappointed that I'm writing this and I'm going to have to take legal action due to corporate not wanting to return any of my calls. SO MUCH FOR OPEN DOOR POLICY! If this is happening to me, I would like to know how many other "employees" have been treated this way. Let's see if I get a response now. Next is getting papers together with my lawyer!

Was at Hardees on 6/21. Order Ham and Cheese combo and Thickburger combo.Also the burgers that was 2 for 3.50. Told them I did not want the A1. Wanted ketsup and mustard instead. Was told I could not get it without the A1 sauce. This sandwichs was for my grand daughter who does not eat. A1. The cashier whos name is Lucy wanted to argue with me about the sandwichs. I told her I would pay regular price for the hamburger. My husband said he would contact you about the problem. Them they where so busy talking in the back that the gentleman ahead of me order was messed up and also our order. I do not know why it was so warm in there, I guess the air conditioner was out which was to bad to eat, because where we where sitting under the vent felt like cool air off and on. But when we finally got our food and started to eat, the Nats came. We just got our food up and left. The food at Hardees was good, I am very disappointed in the service. My husband is a Pastor and we eat out while traveling quiet a bit. Worst service we have ever had at a Hardees. Would like a call .[protected].

My Husband picked up dinner for me while i was at work and brought dinner to me, i ordered a hot ham and cheese and kurly fries, i got the hot ham and cheese but the kurly fries came in the bottom of the bag with out and container, i know that they come in a small sleeve for fries usually cardboard. i called and talked to a shift manager, she was loud and all she wanted to do was send me a coupon for a free kurly fries. i was so grossed out but the fries in the bottom of the bag i will not eat kurly fries from hardees again. i didn't give her my name or address, the whole thing just shows that Hardees will always be a fast food hole in the wall and never be anything more!

March 9, 2011 @ 1:13pm, Store #43008, Check #1699; I received onion rings which felt cold to the touch. Normally I receive very hot ones, which I appreciate. I am extremely dissatisfied with this incident. I tried calling, but received no answer, at 9:15pm. I only wait for eight rings, then hang up. I will not leave a message at a business. All I expect is a change in this practice.
I prefer Hardees onion rings to Dairy Queen, but if it happens again, I will cross the street!

I moved to Chiefland 6 years ago and was very glad to see a Hardees here. I think Hardees has the best fast food around. We eat out almost every day and its usually Hardees. Even though it's all the way across town. I spent 25 years in the restaurant business, so I know good food and good service. However in the past year or two it's really gone down hill. I like to use the drive thru but it seems now every time I get our order there is something missing or order is completely wrong. And I don't want to drive all the way across town again. So I just about stopped going to Hardee's at all. But we really like the chicken strips, so I went in 7-1-11 around 2pm. When I got home I found the chicken was so over cooked, I could not even eat it. I stopped using the drive thru because if you complained, you just got a lot of nasty attitude. I filled out several complaint cards but never heard a word. I think this place needs a real good shake up. Then maybe it would get back to the Hardee's we love. Thanks ( I hope this reaches a live person)

We ordered 2 six dollar hamburgers. On mine I had rusty lettuce & on my husbands he had the end of a rotten onion, which should have been thrown into the garbage not on our hamburger. We informed the manger that he should look into his hamburger dressings, looked at us as so what do want me to do. He then walked out side to have a smoke. Uncaring manger, this was on Oct 9th at 5:30

I drive 15 minutes to get to HARDEE'S to get a order to go and bring back home, I have had a problem with getting a complete order going through the drive through before at this location in the past so I go in to make sure I get my order correct. Today I go in order a biscuit & gravy, and a sausage biscuit to go and I get the container for the biscuit & gravy and the sausage biscuit only to discover when I drive the 15 minutes back home only to find when I open the biscuit & gravy container to find only gravy and NO BISCUIT.

The Hardee's restaurant in Union City is horrible. We had to wait for 45 minutes for our order. We arrived there and placed our order right before church let out on a Sunday. Everyone was receiving theirs except for us, when we asked the problem we were told they were behind because of the church crowd. The guy that waited on us said he was new. They lacked adequate help. The girl running the drive thru was managing things and she was very rude when we complained about not getting our order again. We then finally received our order, the Little Thickburger and the picture showed lettuce and tomato on it but all we had were pickles, onion and mustard but Lord knows we weren't about to complain again, it will probably be the last time I ever darken Hardee's doors anywhere.

These two companies consistently have the stupidest, lamest commercials on TV. Their respective Marketing Directors must be the company presidents' relatives, mistresses, or something. How else would they not have been fired for incompetence long ago? Please, your commercials are SO hard to watch. I am begging of you to fire your entire respective marketing staffs as grade schoolers could have done a better job over the years.

june 11th 09 ordered a monster burger at the price of 5.99. received a burger with only i patty of beef. it is supposed to have 2- 1/3 pound beef patties on it. we were on our way to va. so just couldn't go back to resolve this. we love hardee's but really have to watch our orders at these restaurants. they do or must have a large employee turnover. i check my order but now must dismantle a sandwhich to see if it's correct? that's getting to be a little ridiculous! let me know what to do. i hate to go back and risk, having someone spit on my order because i complained.

Ordered Jr. Thickburger combo w/o lettuce & pickle
Order was stone cold when I got home. The bun was
saturated w/mustard, the onion was so strong even
after taking off, couldn't eat the bun, tomato slices
were pitiful, but the Angus Burger was good but cold.
The order taker did not say thank you, etc. Neither did
the pickup window person. Just took my $5.03 &
shoved me a bag thru the window. No CS there & I was
trying to save time @ 4PM as I had something else to do & was trying to save cooking time. As usual the
sweet tea was good.

I was in the Hardees in Rushville, IL yesterday and it was so hot in there we had to leave. I was told the air conditioner had been broken for approximately a week. It could not be fixed because the person in charge was on vacation and no one else was authorized to call for repair. It would not be fixed until this person returned.
This is too stupid for words. Someone should be appointed to handle emergencies in the absence of boss, manager, etc.

I live in Rushville, but I won't return until cool weather, if then. This is outrageous and no way to run a business.

The service is terrible. We enjoy the Hardees food but we often opt for another vendor because you can be sure you will have to wait an unreasonable time and then check your order before you leave because they are not dependable. Again today we ordered in the drive thru and as usual had to pull out and park to wait for our order. In 10 years that we have lived here I remember just one time being handed my order as I drove to the pick up window. It was supposed to be a sausage biscuit but it was minus the sausage.

Your commercials, though you may take pride in the filth, are NOT family friendly! I and many of my friends refuse to eat at your franchises because of the filth you support! I have to cover my children's eyes when your commercials come on. These are COMMERCIALS not PG or R rated rated movies. Unfortunately we can not choose whether or not to watch them, because we don't know when they will appear and have to catch it fast enough. The lack of Class is rediculous. If you would have made a commercial of a FRIDAY a bunch of people rushing in to get the sandwich, (for lent) - I'd be the first person to get in my car and take my family to Hardee's. But, your company is targeting the male PERVERT as an audience? Would you let your daughter go on TV topless? That's the morals your teaching kids. Ill be praying for your establishment while I refuse to eat there in the future and will spread the word for others to boycot as well.

The manager treats his employees like dirt. He also is rude and crude to customers. Very unfriendly. There are some excellent employees. Brent, the greeter, always has a smile for the customers and a friendly word. That makes a great difference in where we go to eat.. The food is great for fast food . The service is good . Our only complaint is the rudeness of the manager and the way he treats his people and customers.

I recieved a coupon in the mail for $1.00 off ANY THICKBURGER COMBO.I ordered a little thickburger combo and was told that the coupon did not include this combo.Am I missing something? The coupon only said "ANY THICKBURGER COMBO" and made no exclusions for the little thickburger combo.Shouldn't this combo be considered any thickburger combo? Thanks for letting me sound off!

Totally agree with wondering why these commercials are allowed on TV and on really decent channels. Now I am seeing DIRECT TV starting to do this. Plus the girls doing the commercials need to get a life. They need to grow up. Keeping this short cause it just really ticks me off.

As a former Hardee's employee who left because of new and tyrannical management, I sympathise completely. However, I must ask - did you inform your management that you would be off however many days due to a death in the family and do you have that in writing? Were you written up for any reason? If so, do you have copies? According to VP Ramy, if you had no write-ups, you should not have been fired. I know you wrote this several months ago so a lot may have transpired. I wish you luck in your legal attempts and hope you succeed.

As a husband, father, and a Christian I would like like to weigh in on the Hardee's commercials. They are disrespectful and degrading to women, suggestive and pornographic to men, and inappropriate for children. A previous comment stated that we have no control over which commercials we see. True. These ads exemplify the breakdown of society and the need to return to Christian family values. They are targeting men. I'm calling on men to stand up for morality and decency. Show your childrenand your wives and your mothers and your girlfriends how we should live and lead. Turn away from sin and live courageously like Jesus. Hardee's: Stop these vile commercials and stand for families and women everywhere. George/Nashville

I agree with all of you that the Hardee's commercials are VERY inappropiate! Satan has his way of allowing this to ruin the world and try to lure small children as well as Men who are weak and give in to temptation. I agree this should be removed because it is NOT a choice. You choose what you watch however you can't control what the commercials are going to be. And it is the Network they CAN have a saying in what is shown on their network. I myself have blocked networks because of inappropriate materials. If enough of us would do this and stand up for our Christian beliefs I think they might pay attention. There are too many people like the comments above that just give in and allow it, I don't! I don't support any shows that promote Gays, Lesbians, Sex or Nudity whether it is partial or full. Selling sex is ridiculous and low and the person or persons responsible for putting it out there will have to answer to it! I will NOT ever eat a Hardee's again :-) God Bless
