Hardee's

Could smell grease from the parking lot. Bathrooms smelled like cheap chemicals and was dirty. There was a Gloria Jean's in the entry way which was fantastic.

Like a rest stop, had a few shops inside.

Got the Hardees I wanted.  Something was weird about a shift change and we had to ask twice for a shake.  We didn't get a receipt (but didn't care enough to ask for one).  Not many people there but the staff looked busy.  Manager-ish girl appeared to be nice and trying to pep up the team who were close to retiring for the night.

Food was the fantastic Hardee's that I expected, and that's what counts I guess.

2x Hardee's in 1 month.  Yay!

With Gloria Jeans (the largest mall based coffee shop in the world..woo dee doo!!) closed...........I had to try the coffee and breakfast offerings at Hardees.
Hardee's- founded by Wilbur Hardee  in North Carolina started this char-grilled hamburger fast food joint back in 1960.

Now we know it from their "Happy Star' icon/mascot.

I know it (now) from their chicken fried steak biscuit. Pretty damn good.
Coffee was luke warm at best.
