Hardee's — Restaurant in Beardstown

Ok, so we stopped in Beardstown Hardee’s on our way out of town to use the restroom and grab a quick sandwich at about 1:30pm. Ladies restroom was clean enough. My husband said after walking into the men’s restroom he was ready to leave- it was so filthy (and he’s a construction worker, he’s seen everything-had he told me before we ordered we would have just left). We placed an order of a hot ham & cheese combo and a frisco burger combo. The cashier stood plucking at the cash register for approximately 5 minutes before walking into the back - not saying anything. After several more minutes she came back to the register and plucked on it some more. Then asked me what I would like to order saying she couldn’t put it in the register at the front and would need to use the drive in window register. We gave our order again but this time we advised her that we just wanted the sandwiches and drinks - no fries. Her register issues gave us enough time to really look at everything. The food area was so ran down and broken. Fries laying in the bins with no warmer. The gentleman cooking in the back was cussing and obviously frustrated at whatever situation he had going on back there. There was food and debris laying all around the floor behind the register, the area where sandwiches were placed to wait for bags, and even the counters and soda stations. There were only 3 patrons eating at tables - no one in line behind us. I think there were only 3-4 employees there total including one girl who walked through from the back who I think might have been a manager - but she wasn’t doing any cleaning nor helping with any of the work in prep or front. A car pulled through the drive thru while we waited for our food- it was the only transaction we witnessed in 20 minutes of waiting for 2 medium drinks and 2 sandwiches in a to go order, a frisco burger and a hot ham and cheese. (Came to $23.45 because the medium teas were $3 a piece!🤣) When we got out to truck we didn’t even get the order-had a frisco sandwich and a double cheeseburger. Sorry 😣 , but we definitely won’t be back unless there’s ever obvious signs from outside the building that the owner has started making changes and reinvesting in...

The biscuits were hot and fresh. The 3 stars are the result of the extremely slow service. I received my coffee and then they closed the drive thru window. No one said anything about a delay so I knocked on the window after several minutes. I assumed that the server forgot my food. The server came to the window to see what was wrong. I told her I did not get my food and she replied "I know, we are waiting on biscuits." It would have been helpful if she told me that when I got my coffee. Anyway, the food was very hot and fresh but took...

Much better atmosphere here, food is decent, and its quiet, their is outdoor seat. And two rooms for larger grounds. The food is made to order so staff bring it out to your table when its done. Breakfast meals are always good, you may pay more than McDonalds however remember Hardee's cooks their to order. Staff will great you with a smile, friendly hello, and greet you by name, will bring around coffee, and make small talk with you. Would...
