Poor service, bad food
This Hardee's should not be in business: Poor service, bad food.
HARDEE'S 2838
4006 BAINBRIDGE BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23324
This was an online order and the details were in writing as shown:
2 x Small Hamburger (2 x $2.29) = $4.58
1 x 10 pc. & 5 Biscuits
• 1 x White & Dark Pieces (1 x $21.99) = $21.99
1 x Crinkle Cut Fries
• 1 x Large (1 x $3.19) = $3.19
This is the complaint I just sent to Hardee's after bad experience at
Quote - "Poor service - order was wrong. Order of chicken was given to us as tenders, not the white and dark we ordered. Burgers were worst I've ever had - dry, hard bun, barely any condiments, no pickle. Bun stuck to burger. Chicken was old, overcooked in stale oil. Worst food ever!" - End Quote
I really hate fast food, but once in a great while I let myself be persuaded to get some. My wife checked the order before driving off and found the order was wrong, then had to sit and wait while someone scooped up the oldest and nastiest fried chicken in the store to make the order correct. I was pretty angry over the garbage they sold us. I doubt I'll ever buy from that place again.
Recommendation: Be careful which store you go to. Some are worse than others.

Poor unfriendly service
7/13/25 Hardees on Walnut Avenue, Dalton GA — cashier was very unfriendly, my son ordered coffee, they did not let us know they were making fresh coffee the only dispenser was decaffinated — the regualar dispenser was behind the counter, so my son just got tea. I went back and had to beg for ketchup for our hash rounds — food was good, service poor

I was just at the Hardee's restaurant in Crossville 30 Highland Square, Crossville, TN 38555. I ordered the new big bacon breakfast sandwich, I was absolutely disgusting as it was cold and had been sitting somewhere for so long the cheese was hard, the egg was cold and crunchy and the bun was dried out so bad it crumbled apart. We also order 2 Phillip cheeses steak burritos that had absolutely no flavor!

Environment
Just wanted to say that during my visit the environment in the past has been slow, sloppy and uninviting. However since changing some team members and staff, there has been a derastic change in the environment, especially taking notice to manager Tara, she has been the one consistent, always there, at all hours, rarely have I been there and she hasn't, she has definitely been a gem for this establishment

My wife and I get takeout orders from the Hardees in Grandy NC frequently. We are on a fixed income so getting a good meal at a good price is important to us.

Absolutely terrible service. Waited abt 5 mins to even have anyone acknowledge us when we walked in. We were the only guests In line. The girl who was behinde the counter was obviously struggling to read... she didn't look us in the eye and kept having to ask other coworkers what to do. We waited a total of 25 mins for our food and would likely have waited...
Read full review of Hardee's RestaurantsIncorrect order and rude employees
Sunday, November 19, 09:15
I placed an order, drove up to pay, and was asked to pull up to the right side so they could move other cars up; I did not receive a receipt. Once my order was brought out along with another customer's order, I checked my bag and was given the wrong order, so someone else got my order; when I kindly confronted the employee, the employee was rude and not happy; she shook her head and was disgusted. Another employee, a male, brought out my corrected order; I thanked him, but there was no response, no smile, nothing. This is not my first time encountering rude employees at this location. I have no apology.
Desired outcome: Employees need to understand that customers pay their paychecks; if they are rude and can't get orders right, customers will go elsewhere, and that is money lost to the company, which will let people go. I'm not looking for a free meal.
Cold food for the second time
At 18:40 on November 19th my wife and I went through the drive through and ordered two famous star burger baskets we got our food and drinks. Drove home about a 5 minute drive. We took our food out of the bag and both of our burgers were barely warm mine had a cold half. The fries were also cold. The drinks were cold and had ice in them.
This is the second time we’ve been served cold food. We didn’t complain about the first time allowing for a bad day. I’m not impressed.
Desired outcome: Fix the problem and at least a full refund of $23.96

Read full review of Hardee's RestaurantsSuper bacon biscuit
I ordered a super biscuit with folded egg, instead of, the fried egg that comes on it. I was charged $5.81. When I questioned the price I was told the egg was .75 more than the fried egg. I said I am only getting one egg not two. Employee insisted it was a different kind of egg and extra charge stood. I declined the purchase. Do not understand why one egg costs .75 more than another.

Read full review of Hardee's RestaurantsCustomer service
On July 28 and August 4, 2023, my husband and I waited in line for a long period of time at the Hardee’s on Temple Avenue in Colonial Heights , VA. When we finally got to the microphone to order we were told both times that if we wanted to order, we needed to COME INSIDE! I did that, only to find out that the car that had been behind me in line was now at the drive through window picking up their order. I am 76 years old, and if I had wanted to go inside, I would have done that to begin with. I don’t understand why we were singled out for 2 weeks in a row. Poor customer service!
Desired outcome: Need training at that location on how to treat people and how to handle situations when they get busy.

I paid $23.39 and got the skimpiest poorly made sandwiches for $23.39 from somewhere that's supposed to be awesome for their sandwiches when I could have went to Burger King and got three of them for five bucks and they could have been 20 times better that's what I'm saying so I would like my money replaced the receipt number is or the order ID number is [protected] and it was cashier tea and it was at 7:57 a.m. and it was on 1449 East Euclid avenue phone number [protected] my phone number is [protected] and my name is Nicole thank you
Desired outcome: Refunded my money or the old order re made

Lack of quality of food
27 July, 2023
Hello,
We decided to give this Hardee's location (store number 1500649) 1 more chance after a very disappointing fried chicken tenders (dry and tough) meal about 2 weeks ago.
The bar code for today's disappointment is [protected] order number, 291225
I greeted the 2 ladies behind the counter and my greeting was not returned. Usually, we receive a greeting before we even get to the counter, but not today.
We each ordered a $5.99 special, mine was supposed to be a "big" Ham and Cheese and Hubby ordered the Double Cheese Burger.
When we received our order, we were not offered ketchup for our fries, which were fresh and hot. I pulled my sandwich from the bag and noticed how small it was. I opened the paper wrapper and saw that the sandwich was pressed down, squashed, as though someone had stood on it. There was no cheese.
I took it back to the counter for a replacement. A moment later I received another sandwich. When I opened that one, at least it had cheese on it, but it was just as squashed flat as the first one. There were maybe 4 of the thinnest slices of ham I've ever seen between 2 very thin cheese slices on the sandwich.
This month, we gave your restaurant 2 chances. We won't be back to that restaurant unless we see a sign stating "Under New Management".
"Studies suggest that for every 1 customer complaint, there are 26 unhappy customers who never speak up. These are usually the ones who wait for you to contact them. But when you don't, they simply stop using your product."
As per:

Desired outcome: Respect for the customer, "Greet the customer when they enter the lobby." Respect for the product being sold to the customer, "Customers first eat with their eyes before they eat with their mouth."
