Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are the same business wearing two names, split roughly along a line through the middle of the United States. Internationally the Hardee's name dominates, particularly across the Middle East, where it is one of the larger Western burger chains.
The US board is the second-largest menu in our entire database at 172 items - Unusual for a quick-service brand, and driven largely by a made-from-scratch biscuit programme at breakfast that is genuinely regional Southern cooking rather than generic fast food.
The Super Star with Cheese is priced across five markets, from about $3.97 in the Philippines to $12.78 in Australia.

Every item across every Hardee's menu, mapped onto our dish taxonomy.
In the heart of Greenville, North Carolina, a modest eatery opened its doors on September 3, 1960. Founded by Wilber Hardee, this establishment offered a simple menu: 15-cent hamburgers, 10-cent fries, and 20-cent milkshakes. Wilber's vision was to serve quality food quickly, a concept that resonated with the community. The success of this venture led to the opening of a second location in Rocky Mount in 1961. Over time, the brand expanded, introducing breakfast items like Made From Scratch™ Biscuits in the 1970s, which became a staple. Today, Hardee's stands as a testament to Wilber's original dream, with locations across the United States and beyond.
Hardee's menu is a celebration of American comfort food, crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. Signature items include the Angus Thickburgers, known for their juicy, charbroiled flavor, and the Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders, offering a crispy, tender bite. Breakfast enthusiasts appreciate the Made From Scratch™ Biscuits, prepared fresh every morning. The menu also features regional favorites like the Nashville Hot Chicken, a spicy addition that pays homage to Southern culinary traditions. Each dish reflects the establishment's commitment to delivering satisfying meals that honor its roots.
Beyond its menu, Hardee's serves as a welcoming space for friends and families to connect. From early morning breakfasts to late-night dinners, the restaurant offers a comfortable environment where guests can enjoy hearty meals and create lasting memories. The establishment's dedication to hospitality and quality has fostered a loyal customer base, making it a cherished part of the communities it serves.
Hardee's journey from a single grill in North Carolina to a beloved dining destination exemplifies the enduring appeal of good food and genuine service. With each meal, the restaurant continues to honor its founder's legacy, bringing people together over shared flavors and experiences.
Almost every restaurant you think of as a chain is owned by someone else entirely. What the franchisee actually buys, and why it explains the price on the board.
Localisation is not adding a novelty item. It is a staged process with a predictable sequence, and the menu data shows exactly how far each market has travelled.
Menu boards are designed documents, not lists. Where the money items sit, what the ordering of panels is doing, and how to find the price you actually want.
Price reports are signed, reviewed by a person, and earn points when accepted - So they need an account. Signing in takes one tap and brings you straight back to the report.
