Whether you are looking for a quick sausage biscuit before work, a loaded breakfast burrito for a long road trip, or a full platter with eggs and hash rounds, Hardee’s offers a breakfast that actually feels satisfying.

Hardee’s Breakfast Burritos
Hardee’s offers three breakfast burritos ranging from $3.99 to $6.49, each wrapped in a warm flour tortilla with scrambled eggs, cheese, and varying protein combinations.
Homestyle Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Burrito — $3.99 | 930 Calories
A warm flour tortilla wrapped around crumbled sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted shredded cheddar cheese, served with a side of salsa to add a zesty kick. At $3.99, this is the most affordable burrito on the menu and delivers more calories per dollar than any other breakfast item in the lineup. The 930 calorie count makes it one of the most filling single breakfast items available.
Homestyle Loaded Breakfast Burrito — $5.29 | 810 Calories
The loaded version adds more filling and protein for $1.30 more, coming in at 810 calories — slightly lower despite the loaded label because of a different ingredient ratio. This is the most popular burrito on the Hardee’s breakfast menu.
BBQ Brisket Burrito — $6.49 | 780 Calories
The premium burrito option, featuring BBQ brisket beef rather than standard breakfast proteins. At $6.49, it is the most expensive breakfast burrito and the one that most closely bridges breakfast and lunch flavors. A strong choice for customers who find standard breakfast proteins too light.
Tips for ordering burritos: All three burritos come with salsa on the side. Ask for extra salsa or hot sauce for no additional charge. Burritos can be customized — ask to remove ingredients or add extra protein for a small upcharge at most locations.

Best Items on the Hardee’s Breakfast Menu
Monster Biscuit® — $5.19 | 820 Calories
The Monster Biscuit® is the most indulgent item on the entire Hardee’s breakfast menu and the single most-ordered biscuit chain-wide. It is a protein-packed breakfast featuring a loaded combination of sausage, bacon, ham, and a folded egg layered with two slices of American cheese — all served on Hardee’s freshly baked Made From Scratch™ buttermilk biscuit.
At $5.19 and 820 calories, the Monster Biscuit® delivers more filling power per dollar than any other fast-food breakfast sandwich currently available in the US market. It is not a light breakfast — but for anyone who needs fuel for a full day of physical work, a long commute, or simply wants the most satisfying start possible, nothing on the Hardee’s menu comes close.
Best for: Anyone who wants maximum protein and flavor in a single breakfast sandwich.
Frisco Breakfast Sandwich® — $4.99 | 780 Calories
The Frisco Breakfast Sandwich® is the most unique item on the Hardee’s breakfast menu — and the one item that genuinely has no equivalent anywhere else in fast food. Sliced ham, a folded egg, and American and Swiss cheese are served on toasted sourdough bread rather than the standard biscuit. The sourdough’s tang cuts through the richness of the cheese and egg in a way that makes this sandwich taste more complete and complex than anything built on a biscuit or croissant.
At $4.99 and 780 calories, the Frisco Breakfast Sandwich® is slightly more expensive than a standard biscuit sandwich but justifies the premium through its distinctive flavor and the fact that no other chain offers anything like it.
Best for: Customers who want something different from the standard biscuit lineup.
Bacon Egg & Cheese Biscuit — $4.29 | 530 Calories
The most reliably satisfying everyday breakfast item on the menu. Crispy bacon, a fluffy folded egg, and melted American cheese are served on Hardee’s signature Made From Scratch™ buttermilk biscuit — a combination that works perfectly every time. At 530 calories, it is one of the more moderate calorie options in the biscuit lineup while still being completely filling.
Best for: Everyday breakfast customers who want a balanced, reliable option at a fair price.
Pork Chop ‘N’ Gravy Biscuit — $4.89 | 550 Calories
A boneless, breaded pork chop cooked to tender perfection, smothered in sausage gravy, and placed in a warm Made From Scratch™ biscuit. This is one of the most distinctly Southern items on the entire fast-food breakfast landscape — you will not find anything like it at McDonald’s, Burger King, or Chick-fil-A. At $4.89 and 550 calories, it sits at a mid-range price point with a genuinely premium, comfort-food flavor.
Best for: Customers who want an authentic Southern breakfast experience that no other chain offers.
Hardee Breakfast Platter® — $7.99 | 970–1,170 Calories
The Hardee Breakfast Platter® is a complete meal built for a hearty start to the day. It includes a Made From Scratch™ biscuit topped with creamy sausage gravy, two fresh eggs, golden Hash Rounds®, and your choice of protein — bacon, sausage, ham, or chicken tenders.
At $7.99, the Breakfast Platter is the most expensive item on the breakfast menu — but it is also the most complete. It is designed as a full diner-style plate in a fast-food format, and it delivers on that promise. For anyone who regularly pays $12 to $15 for a comparable plate at a sit-down diner, the Hardee’s platter represents exceptional value.
Best for: Customers who want a full breakfast plate rather than a single sandwich.
Biscuit ‘N’ Gravy™ — $3.29 | 500 Calories
A freshly baked Made From Scratch™ biscuit split open and smothered in rich, peppery sausage gravy — a classic Southern-style breakfast that is both comforting and filling. At $3.29 and 500 calories, it is one of the best value items on the entire menu — a genuinely satisfying breakfast that costs less than a coffee at most specialty cafes.
Best for: Budget-conscious customers who want maximum comfort food value.
Cinnamon ‘N’ Raisin Biscuit — $1.89 | 280 Calories
A legendary sweet treat made with warm cinnamon and juicy raisins baked right into a signature buttermilk biscuit, topped with a sweet icing drizzle — a fan favorite that recently made a much-anticipated return to the menu. At $1.89 and 280 calories, it is the most affordable sweet breakfast option available at any major fast-food chain.
Best for: Customers who want a sweet breakfast item or a side alongside a savory
Hardee’s Breakfast vs Other Fast-Food Chains
Hardee’s vs McDonald’s Breakfast
McDonald’s is the dominant fast-food breakfast chain in the US by volume, powered by the McGriddles, McMuffin, and hotcakes lineup. However, McDonald’s uses par-baked biscuits rather than scratch-made, and its biscuit quality reflects that — denser, chewier, and less layered than the Hardee’s version.
Where Hardee’s wins: biscuit quality, portion size, Southern-style items like Biscuit ‘N’ Gravy and Pork Chop ‘N’ Gravy Biscuit, and premium items like the Frisco Breakfast Sandwich® that have no McDonald’s equivalent.
Where McDonald’s wins: all-day breakfast availability (select items), McMuffin name recognition, and national footprint including Western US states where Hardee’s does not operate.
Hardee’s vs Burger King Breakfast
Burger King’s breakfast menu is smaller and less distinctive than Hardee’s, primarily built around Croissan’wich sandwiches and French toast sticks. Burger King does not offer a scratch-made biscuit equivalent or a platter option comparable to Hardee’s.
Where Hardee’s wins: biscuit quality, menu depth, platter options, and the Frisco Breakfast Sandwich® which has no BK equivalent.
Where Burger King wins: Croissan’wich fan base and slightly wider national availability.
Hardee’s vs Chick-fil-A Breakfast
Chick-fil-A’s breakfast menu is built around its chicken-based items — the Chicken Biscuit and Chick-fil-A Chicken Breakfast Burrito are strong performers. However, Chick-fil-A has a smaller breakfast menu overall and closes on Sundays, eliminating one of the highest-traffic breakfast days entirely.
Where Hardee’s wins: Sunday availability, broader menu including non-chicken options, lower price points on value items, and scratch-made biscuit quality.
Where Chick-fil-A wins: Chicken Biscuit quality, customer service reputation, and drive-thru efficiency scores.

Hardee’s uses White Lily flour — a soft wheat flour traditionally milled in the American South — for its Made From Scratch™ Biscuits. The soft wheat produces a lighter, more tender, more layered biscuit than standard hard wheat all-purpose flour, which is why Hardee’s biscuits have a noticeably different texture from the biscuits served at most other fast-food chains.
