Overall a great stop when traveling, I usually arrive around 11PM, so i know it's takes just a few minutes for their system to do some kind of restart. Before they take any orders I don't mind the wait. I think his name is Justin, but he always drops fresh fries for me and the guy in back always makes my food good and im back on the road in no time. Those two need a raise because it seems like their the only two I ever see when I stop by.

I stopped here at this location about 4 to 8 times a month. This Hardee's is prime. The burgers are always hot. The vegetables are always fresh and my order doesn't ever take more than a minute or two. I wish all fast food places were like this one.

The energy in this place was amazing & I must say it's probably the best experience I've had going 2 any Hardee's!!! My cashier Kinsleigh was on point & the manger on duty Amysue made my The Experience even better. I originally went in for chicken tenders and they were out but I ordered the chicken patties and she cut it up for me to put on a salad which makes it easier being a truck driver. Thank you for the experience and if I'm ever in the area again I will return.......

My wife and I were on a Tour of the South bus tour with 43 of us and our first evening meal was here at this beautiful facility. The appetizers were great, the first course was a spring salad and a cup of crab, corn and potato soup. Yummy. Next, we had pork tenderloin medallions, black drum, mashed potatoes with a vegetable medley. Our dessert was a bread pudding with a rum based topping. Phenomenal meal with an excellent wait staff, including a cash bar. We both had a glass of cabernet sauvignon wine to end the evening of our private dinner party.

The last time and only time that I had Hardee’s was somewhere in April 1998 in Ames, IA. I was burning my night oil on a course (Dr. Sheble’s Optimization) project with my friend/classmate 王卫国. The Hardee’s burger was like the White Knight that boosted our energy level at 2am to finish the project Ever since I didn’t have another Hardee’s because I moved to Houston where Hardee’s has not operated. This time I’m helping my daughter move in UNC at Chapel Hill where I run into the establishing state of Hardee’s. How can I miss it?! The store is clean. I went with the classic burger that I had almost 30 years ago. Still tasty even without a pressing project under way - the patties are grilled smokey; the crinkle cut fry doesn’t need the ketchup to be good. It just arouses a lot of my memories in that late spring on campus of ISU …….
