Hardee’s

This was one of the quick stops I had to make to end my hunger while driving through the states heading southbound. It must’ve been a quiet day but there were only 3 customers in the house when my party and I arrived for lunch.
The lot is big and parking isn’t an issue. The staff were okay but didn’t go out of their way to make things excellent, just acceptable. We ordered a ten piece chicken tender special with a half gallon of iced tea and burgers. Maybe I haven’t visited Hardee’s in more than ten years, but I didn’t see any chicken with bone-​in on the menu like it did years ago. I was quite suprised the chain pushes it’s hamburgers and cheeseburgers more than anything else.
Our food was delivered to our table after we placed our order up front, and while the chicken tenders were nothing to write home about, they were satisfying. The burgers were extremely small and the meat within was like a flat round disc… about the size of a half dollar coin. The iced tea was brought out with no ice… and also very warm. It was labeled please keep refrigerated but obviously it was not. Luckily the ice machine was easily accessible at the soft drinks machine because who would want warm tea on a hot summer day?
I will be looking for other quick stops for food when passing VA. But if there are slim choices, I might have to return only to make sure I have enough calories to drive further!

We stopped here on our way from PA to Gatlinburg, TN since it was about the ½ way point and my son’s pick. (Last time I trust my son’s pick!) This restaurant was very skeevy and dirty. We were the only ones in the whole place and the staff was just standing around, not doing much at all. They screwed up our order, when it was the only order they had to concentrate on. I asked what weight their «BIG» burgers were… wether they were ¼ lb, ¹⁄₃^rd lb, or what. The order taker says «I don’t know». I said «well, are they really big, or just average size?» She said «I don’t know, I don’t eat here». WHAAAAT??? Seriously? That’s scary! (I later watched as each employee went to the restaurant next door to order their dinners.) I asked for sweet tea and was handed a cup. When I went over to the beverage station, I found TWO large containers of sweet tea… BOTH COMPLETELY EMPTY! Overall very bad experience here, and I would not recommend this place at all.
