Ever stood in the Hardee’s drive-thru line, stomach growling, trying to remember if the Monster Biscuit is the one with bacon and sausage, or just one of them? Yeah, me too. More times than I’d like to admit.
I grew up in Hardee’s territory, the kind of town where the drive-thru line wraps around the building every Saturday morning, and I’ve ordered enough biscuits over the years to have a genuinely strong opinion about which ones are worth your money. This guide covers the full 2026 menu: breakfast, lunch, chicken, sides, deals, hours, locations, and the stuff most menu roundups conveniently skip, like catering and wraps.
Let’s get into it.
Hardee’s Breakfast Hours (Quick Answer)
Hardee’s serves breakfast from 6:00 AM to 10:30 AM daily at most locations, with the full lunch menu- burgers, chicken, sides- kicking in right after at 10:30 AM. Some locations open earlier or close later depending on the market, so it’s always worth a quick app check if you’re cutting it close.
Full Hardee’s Menu With Prices 2026
Here’s the thing about fast food menus: they change constantly. Prices below reflect typical 2026 pricing, but your local Hardee’s might run a few cents higher or lower depending on the region. Don’t @ me if your store charges a dime more for fries. That’s just how franchising works.
| Category | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Breakfast biscuits | $1.29 – $5.19 |
| Breakfast combos | $4.99 – $10.57 |
| Charbroiled burgers | $4.49 – $7.99 |
| Burger combos | $7.49 – $10.29 |
| Chicken sandwiches | $4.49 – $6.79 |
| Chicken combos | $8.99 – $10.99 |
| Sides | $1.99 – $3.19 |
| Sweets & shakes | $1.29 – $3.99 |
Hardee’s Breakfast Menu
The whole breakfast lineup is built around the Made From Scratchâ„¢ Biscuit, and honestly, this is the section that keeps people coming back. There’s no shortcut biscuit here; it’s baked fresh every morning, which you can actually taste if you’ve ever had the sad, dense alternative at other chains.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Plain Biscuit | 280 | $1.29 |
| Cinnamon ‘N’ Raisin Biscuit | 315 | $2.49 |
| Sausage Biscuit | 530 | $3.49 |
| Sausage & Egg Biscuit | 740 | $4.29 |
| Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit | 450 | $4.29 |
| Super Bacon Biscuit | 480 | $4.49 |
| Hand-Breaded Chicken Biscuit | 510 | $4.59 |
| Spicy Hand-Breaded Chicken Biscuit | 620 | $4.69 |
| Nashville Hot Chicken Biscuit | 600 | $4.69 |
| Frisco Breakfast Sandwich® | 780 | $4.99 |
| Monster Biscuit® | 820 | $5.19 |
| Biscuit ‘N’ Gravyâ„¢ | 500 | $3.29 |
| French Toast Dips | 410 | $3.29 |
My honest take? The Monster Biscuit is a lot. Bacon, sausage, ham, egg, two slices of cheese- it’s basically four breakfasts stacked into one. I love it, but I don’t order it on days I plan to do anything productive afterward.
Breakfast Combos
Combos bundle your main item with Hash Rounds and a drink, and you can size up for a little extra.
| Item | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sausage Biscuit Combo | $4.99 | $5.99 | $6.49 |
| Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit Combo | $6.29 | $7.29 | $7.99 |

| Frisco Breakfast Sandwich® Combo | $6.99 | $7.99 | $8.49 |
| Homestyle Loaded Breakfast Burrito Combo | $7.19 | $8.19 | $8.69 |
Breakfast Burritos
Underrated section, IMO. The Homestyle Loaded Breakfast Burrito wraps two egg omelets, sausage, bacon, ham, and shredded cheddar into a warm tortilla; it’s portable in a way biscuits just aren’t (less crumb explosion in your car, more time actually eating).
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Homestyle Loaded Breakfast Burrito | 930 | $5.29 |
| Philly Cheesesteak Breakfast Burrito | 780 | $5.29 |
| Two Breakfast Wraps | 780 | $4.49 |
Breakfast Platters
Sitting down for breakfast instead of eating in the car? Platters give you eggs, Hash Rounds, a biscuit, and your choice of meat, all on one tray.
| Item | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Hardee’s Breakfast Platter | 2 eggs, Hash Rounds, biscuit, choice of bacon or sausage | $7.99 |
| French Toast Dips Platter | French toast sticks, syrup, eggs, choice of meat | $7.99 |
Hardee’s Lunch Menu — Burger Combos
Lunch starts at 10:30 AM sharp, and the charbroiled burger lineup takes over. Ever wonder why Hardee’s burgers taste different from the flat-top competition? It’s the open-flame charbroiling- the same method since 1960- and it genuinely changes the flavor.
| Item | Calorie Range | Combo Price |
|---|---|---|
| Famous Star® Combo | 880–1,600 | $8.29 |
| Big Cheeseburger Combo | 810–1,530 | $7.99 |

Charbroiled Burgers (Individual)
Not everyone wants fries and a drink every time. Here’s the à la carte lineup.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Double Cheeseburger | 520 | $4.49 |
| Big Cheeseburger | 590 | $4.99 |
| Famous Star® | 670 | $5.49 |
| Famous Star® with Cheese | 720 | $5.99 |
| Mushroom & Swiss Burger | 680 | $5.99 |
| Super Star® with Cheese | 930 | $6.49 |
| Frisco Burger® | 820 | $6.99 |
| Monster Burger® | 1,310 | $7.99 |
| Double Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger | 1,530 | $7.99 |
The Monster Burger is basically the breakfast Monster Biscuit’s evil lunchtime twin: double patties, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese. It’s a lot of burger. Worth it? Sometimes. Every day? Your cardiologist might disagree.
Chicken & More
Hardee’s hand-breads its chicken in buttermilk, and you can tell it’s crunchier and less uniform than the pressed-nugget texture you get at some other chains.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Piece Chicken Tendersâ„¢ | 260 | $4.99 |
| 5-Piece Chicken Tendersâ„¢ | 430 | $7.49 |
| Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich | 640 | $6.29 |
| Spicy Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich | 660 | $6.49 |
| Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich | 680 | $6.49 |
| Big Chicken Fillet Sandwich | 730 | $6.79 |
| Hot Ham ‘N’ Cheeseâ„¢ | 400 | $4.49 |
| Spicy Chicken Sandwich | 410 | $4.99 |
Chicken Wraps
If you’re the type who searches for “wraps menu with pictures” before ordering, this is your section, and it deserves more attention than most menu guides give it.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Honey Mustard Tender Wrap | 540 | $5.99 |
| Ranch Tender Wrap | 560 | $5.99 |
| Spicy Tender Wrap | 570 | $5.99 |
Real talk: the Ranch Tender Wrap is my go-to when I want something lighter than a burger but don’t want to commit to a full chicken sandwich. It’s not groundbreaking, but it hits the spot.
Chicken Combos
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Piece Chicken Tendersâ„¢ Combo | 860 | $8.99 |
| 5-Piece Chicken Tendersâ„¢ Combo | 1,100 | $10.99 |
| Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich Combo | 1,020 | $9.49 |

Hardee’s Meal Deals — $5 DollarBox & Value Offers
This is where the budget-conscious crowd wins big, and honestly, it’s one of the better value plays left in fast food right now.
| Deal | What You Get | Price |

| Double Cheeseburger Bag Upgrade | Two Double Cheeseburgers + fries + drink | $7.99 |
FYI, the $5 deal hasn’t actually cost $5 in a while; inflation caught up to the name, but it’s still a solid deal for two sandwiches plus sides.

Hardee’s Catering Menu
Planning an office lunch or a family gathering? Hardee’s catering isn’t as widely advertised as its regular menu, but most locations can put together burger and chicken tender platters for groups. Pricing and minimum order sizes vary significantly by location, so the honest answer here is: call your local store or check the app’s catering tab directly rather than trust a flat number online — I’d rather tell you that than make up a price that turns out wrong when you actually try to order 20 sandwiches for a Monday meeting.
