Hardee’s hours

Most Hardee's locations are open 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM Sunday. A handful of highway and interstate stores stay open 24 hours a day. Most locations close on Christmas Day.

Hardee’s (founded 1960 in Greenville, North Carolina by Wilber Hardee; sister brand to Carl’s Jr. under parent CKE Restaurants, owned by Roark Capital Group since 2013) is an American fast-food burger and breakfast chain with about 1,800 US locations weighted heavily across the Southeast and Midwest.

Common questions are about Sunday hours, what time the breakfast menu (Made From Scratch Biscuits, Frisco Breakfast Sandwich, Loaded Omelet Biscuit) ends, whether the local store is one of the 24-hour highway stops, and which holidays close Hardee’s (Christmas at most stores) versus which stay open.

One quirk worth knowing: Hardee’s biscuit-forward breakfast menu cuts off at 10:30 AM Monday through Friday and 11:00 AM Saturday and Sunday at most stores (sister Carl’s Jr. serves breakfast all day at most locations; Southern biscuit-chicken peer Bojangles serves biscuits all day across the Southeast); after the cutoff the menu switches to Thickburgers and chicken tenders.
