    Hardee's Melbourne, FL 4 Stars I was chatting with one of my editors the other day and he made me go back and double-check my blog since The Big Boys return from the virus lock-down. Yep. I said it alright, I said I would do fast food reviews as a lot of the independent places, sadly, did not survive the said pandemic. I know a lot of Americans dine at these places daily so it was about time I bit the bullet and hit them up anyway. My first foray into the fast-food industry was to be Hardee's (or Carl's Jr. if you are west of the Mississippi) in Melbourne, FL. I have seen the commercials for their fresh homemade to order biscuits for breakfast and I have to admit I was intrigued to try these as they are the only fast food place to advertise as such. The thing that made this Hardee's so unique from the thousands around the country is that it has been in the same hands for over 30 years and the owners (a husband and wife team) are always found working themselves and have a reputation in the area for never scrimping on quality or customer service. I approached the counter and was greeted warmly by the wife of the team and asked if I was ready to place my order. I proceeded to ask for one Chicken biscuit breakfast sandwich, one Country-fried steak biscuit sandwich, a Frisco breakfast sandwich and a cinnamon roll. The glory, and I mean that of these breakfast namkeens are the made in-house biscuits and the recipe is spot on. These were so incredibly delicious I couldn't believe I was at a fast-food restaurant and not a place specializing in breakfasts. The chicken biscuit was filled with an entire breast of hand-dipped chicken and this had a great combo of flavors and just danced all over my taste buds. The country-fried steak biscuit was not as flavorful nor fun on the palate as the chicken was but still mobbed with loads of flavor. The Frisco Breakfast sandwich is the only non-biscuit one I ordered. However, I still found it to be a fun meal with tavern ham and eggs on Texas toast. It was your basic breakfast sandwich, but still a home run on flavor. This brings us to the last item to be tasted, tested and reviewed, the Cinnamon roll. According to the owner, the know-it-alls at corporate HQ thought it was a good idea to replace the cinnamon biscuit with your more traditional roll. This did not and does not sit well with this owner as she stated that the cinnamon biscuit was a huge seller. I don't think these are made in-house, but it was very good and sugary nonetheless. It sure is great finding owners that obviously care so much about the quality of food that comes out of their kitchen and pleasant customer service. The Big Boy says, "If you are in a pinch for a quick pie-hole stuffing before work or just in the mood for some authentic down-home style made in house biscuit sammiches, Hardee's/Carl's Jr. is for you."

    Bacon cheese burger

    In my opinion this is one of the best fast food restaurant out there if you are looking for a good burger. Lets us start with he sizes of the tomatoes slices they use. It's a good slice. You can see the tomatoes. Not paper thin. The bacon is a nice thickness too. Is not translucent like other fast food chains. The burgers meat is a good size too. The bread does not hide the meat lol. I had a bacon cheese burger. I was really pleased with it. I forgot the actual name of it. I think it was called Frisco I liked it. I specifically liked the bacon size. My burger was great. I do wish they flavored the meat. The bread was good and toasted. The cheese had good flavor. The size of the burger was perfect. I tried the French fries. They where exelent. Nice and crunchy with a really nice natural potatoes flavor to it. It did not taste frozen. The service was fast. The staff was cold but professional. The place looked clean.

    Sausage egg biscuit, double loaded omelet biscuit, frisco, biscuits and gravy.

    Any day is a good day for Hardee's breakfast, but especially on Christmas Eve. Thanks Hardee's for always serving delicious food with a smile!

    Over a month ago i.had a really bad meal. So I decided to try again. Just look at the pictures. It was to be fresh hot off the grill, the cashiers words not mine. Look at what I got. Disappointment doesn't even come close.

    We don't have Hardee's locally however we see their commercials on tv. We found the location thru Yelp and visited last weekend. First ... this is fast food so rating has been adjusted based upon others like McDonalds and Burger King. The location is deep in a neighborhood off the Main Street. It shares location with a racing kart attraction and sits alone with nothing behind it. The menu had the typical burger offerings. The specials all had beer cheese added to burgers and fries as desired. This location also had fried chicken which looked crispy but also looked like it was sitting out to long under heat lamps. Burgers appear offered in several sizes from small parties to larger parties and doubles. I ordered the combo to taste the burger, and fries. Fries were quite boring and very standard with nothing worth mention. The burger was the small patty double which took on a Big Mac design. It had some grilled onions and thousand island sauce. Meat was plain and should have been seasoned while cooking. It was hot and appeared made to order. The cashier was pleasant and appeared to be helping drive thru clerk also. He was aware of order and time taken, and followed up. Store appeared clean.

I've never been to this restaurant before at this specific location, but I can see why everyone picked it As is to be expected different people arrived at different times, but we were all able to sit comfortably in a group and the weight staff accommodated our amount of guests by exhibiting adaptability and patience I personally enjoyed a classic cheeseburger with a double patty and a side of steamed vegetables. Not only is this place military friendly but the quality and quantity of food I got at that price point doesn't feel like it can be beat. I will say that I glanced over at the Pizookie which looks fantastic and saw a drink with a duck in it that is going to ensure the next time I come by I try it as well Sharon was our waitress and she did a fantastic job making sure everyone's order was on point and circling back often not only to check on our food but to refresh our drinks accordingly. Another thing I liked was that people's orders were brought out virtually close to one another despite being ordered a different times. We had a fantastic time. The place was super clean.

We tried the same location a second time and same horrific service. When we moved to Florida my grandfather and I ate at one in Jacksonville and it was ok. Recently my wife and I visited the location in Melbourne, Fl. The parking lot was full and so was the building. We were seated in 10 minutes. Our server Keith took our order and was knowledgeable on the menu. However our experience went downhill from there. My wife ordered soup and salad and got it in 5 minutes. I ordered hamburger and had to watch my wife eat her food. It took another 20 minutes for my burger. My wife's soup was lukewarm at best and we had to ask for a fork for her salad. There was not silverware on the table when we arrived and Keith never once offered us any. I had to use my wife's napkin. When we asked for our tab. Keith asked us to fill out a survey. Truthfully he would not want me to review his service. I will say the food for the most part was good but BJ's and Keith struck out big time when it came to basic customer service. After multiple negative experiences at more than one BJ's we have decided this is it. We are done and will never visit BJ's again anywhere

    El Chico Mexican Restaurant 1751 Evans Rd., Melbourne, FL 32904…read more 3 Stars (chain restaurant review) With origins dating back to a Texas county fair in 1926, El Chico Mexican Restaurant has been around for quite a while. In 1926, Alelaida "Mama" Cuellar's tamales were a massive hit at the county fair. Two years later, they opened their first restaurant in Kaufman, TX. The 11th opened in Six Flags Over Texas and is credited with introducing Mexican food to the American masses. In 1940, Mama Cuellar's children opened the first El Chico Cafe in Dallas, TX. Susan was my outstanding service professional for the meal. I asked Susan for an order of their Chorizo Tacos, a Grande Pollo Burrito and a side of chips and salsa. Susan brought my order out in no time and after snapping a few pics, I got to work. I always wonder if cooks smell the ingredients before they start using them OR do they smell them, realize they are not so fresh anymore, and think the dining public won't notice? Either way, this cook deserves strong jobation for this dish. The Chorizo meat was not good; it wasn't rancid, but if you opened the walk-in, I wouldn't be surprised if it was seen beating up the tomatoes as it was undoubtedly turning bad. Moving on to the Grande Pollo Burrito - the hero of this meal. Even though the chicken was a tad on the rubbery side (my guess is heated up in the microwave, but I could be wrong), the rice, beans and other fillings were excellent. While a bit chewy, the chicken was fajita-flavored and served with a beautiful chipotle wine sauce. The rice was cooked to perfection and the frijoles rancheros were succulently seasoned. If the chicken hadn't been nuked, it would have been fantastic. This brings me to what passed as chips and salsa in this cuchara grasosa. Please look at that pic and tell me that's not a cup of ketchup with a smattering of spice sprinkled in. It sure as Texas didn't taste like salsa. The chips were OK, but the salsa was not. Big Boy says, " 20 years ago, this was fantastic Tex-Mex. Today? Too much top-notch competition makes this yesterday's chimichangas."
