Yep, we had one of those funky roof locations in my hometown growing up in SC.. and then they converted to the rectangular orange roofs which were a Hardee's trademark for decades. I even remember the orange smocks and getting a free paper chefs hat.
I LOVED Hardees steak biscuit , go anywhere and try to find a steak biscuit, you wont find them, its always the same old Sausage,Ham, or Bacon and Egg biscuit, why is it that no one ever liked the steak biscuit?
I see your comment was written several years ago but I hope you're still active on CZcams. I also remember the steak biscuits!! Hardees was my very favorite breakfast stop and I ordered either a biscuit with their sausage gravy or the country style steak biscuit. Hardees was FAMOUS for their biscuits and here in TN, where folks make some pretty fantastic homemade ones, that's saying A LOT! I thought most Hardees had closed but I have a NEW ONE about 2 miles from my home in Nashville. I can't wait to check it out to see if it's the same. So, try a Google search in your area cuz maybe they're making a comeback!
Ha, I was born in 1972. It's cool that the kid at the counter can bring back the memory of this to people who saw it back then. A little early for me, but still cool.
The Hardee’s logo color scheme in this vintage commercial resembles the couch used by MARK GALfione, GIOVANNI, and Robert Christian in a 2010 Top Dog production. The video title says this commercial is from 1972, which was the same year North Carolina-the state where Hardee’s began-elected arch conservative Jesse Helms to the U.S. Senate over U.S. Rep. Nick GALifANakis (maybe 2648 University Dr., durHAM, NC 27707). Despite another from durHAM, Top Dog’s GIOVANNI more resembles the Jersey Rican
I do believe that it was their answer to the Big Mac. I got paid a whopping $60 dollars and I can remember they flew in from Houston about 2 dozen "special" hamburger buns for shoot.
If I was that kid I would've run screaming on a major freak out! It's like a satanic ritual and he's about to become the Husky Jr. But oh man do I miss those original Hardee's charco-broiled burgers. They were the best!
"Well we got trouble/Right here in River City" . . . somewhere out there, Robert Preston is spinning in his grave. Everybody sing the jingle with me now: "Hurry on down to Hardee's/Where the burgers are charcoal-broiled!"
Weren't there a series of Hardee's cartoon commercials from this same time period with a man who talked like Humphrey Bogart and his pet elephant that were always trying to swipe a Hardee's hamburger?

I remember the Hardee's commercials from the 70's that were done to the tune of "Hello Dolly"
Hello Hardees, well hello Hardees....
I remember Hardees at that time. They were in round buildings that had a weird swooping roof with sharp edges at different points.
The kid behind the counter is Alan Baker. he did a lot of theatre in the wichita area back then.
"WOW MY FRIENDS"

WOW! He offered him a Hearty Husky Burger and Music Man is as good as that kid's friend.
I was negative 2 years old back then, Hardee's commercials have always been a little hokey

LOL...nailed it!
that straw hat suggests the influence of shakey's & farrell's.
wallofvideo i remember a Farrell’s in either Richardson or North Dallas
Wow, you were cute - nice commercial!
Actually, neither. It was Greenwood, a mill town which is about 44 miles south of Greenville on US 25.

dont forget the special sauce.
