What to Eat at Hardee's How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Hardee's, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

“Hardee's was another brand chain that I haven't tried before and decided to indulge there by ordering their fried chicken burger with curly fries and some star (shaped) chicken nuggets. The curly fries came dusted with peri peri and it was fabulous, mildly crispy and soft, perfect with the super crunch chicken burger. I did love the star chicken nuggets that were crispy and delicious. From a taste and texture, the burger, or should I say sandwich reminded me of the KFC Burger, but the curly fries just made all the difference, do try and share your experience”September 2023

Double chicken burger Net +1
“I recently tried the Double Chicken Burger from Hardee’s at Mall of the Emirates, and it was a surprisingly satisfying meal. The burger comes with two crispy chicken fillets that were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside. The fresh lettuce, creamy sauce, and soft toasted bun complemented the chicken very well, creating a balanced flavor in every bite. What stood out the most was the generous portion size. The double chicken fillets made the burger filling and worth the price. The seasoning was flavorful without being overpowering, making it enjoyable from start to finish. Pros: ✔ Crispy and juicy chicken ✔ Good portion size ✔ Fresh ingredients ✔ Well-balanced flavors Cons: ➖ Could be slightly more saucy for those who prefer a richer taste Overall Rating: 9/10 ⭐ A delicious and satisfying burger that I would definitely order again. If you're visiting Mall of the Emirates and craving a crispy chicken burger, this one is worth trying!”

Star savers Net −1
“This meal is called "Star Savers", where you feel it's great value for the money!! Though in taste wise, the sandwich lacked the proper amount of sauce and they didn't have garlic sauce to be served with the spicy fries so had to get one from KFC which was right next to them. Also, the fries felt slightly to be more on the soggy side.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check fries. Check the fries at the counter if freshness matters: one review found them cold, soggy, non-spicy and not fresh.
Check order. Before leaving with your tray, confirm the items and sides, since one customer reported that the order was wrong.
Avoid peak. For a faster lunch, consider visiting outside the busiest period; one regular described delays while only one worker prepared orders.
Ask for sauce. If you prefer a richer burger, ask about extra sauce: one Double Chicken Burger review found it slightly lacking in sauciness.
Carry smaller. If paying cash, avoid relying on a 500 AED note unless change is confirmed first; a customer reported that the cashier had none.

Roast beef
The roast beef burger received a particularly poor review for processed-tasting beef and tasteless cheese sauce.

The Bottom Line
Hardee’s in Al Barsha is a straightforward fast-food stop for burgers, fried chicken and filling sides. The reviews make the double beef burger a strong starting point, while the Double Chicken Burger gets credit for two crispy, juicy fillets and a generous portion. Curly fries are another recurring favourite, and star-shaped chicken nuggets give families an easy option for children.
Service is often described as warm and helpful, with reviewers praising patient ordering assistance, welcoming smiles and quick preparation on some visits. That said, the experience is not perfectly consistent. One busy-lunch visit involved a longer wait with only one person preparing orders, while other customers reported incorrect orders or unengaging service.
The branch appears better suited to a quick food-court meal when the queue is manageable. Food quality also varies between visits. Some customers found the burgers fresh, tasty and satisfying, but others received cold, soggy fries, an incorrect spice coating or fries that tasted of old oil.
Check your order and sides before leaving the counter. If you like extra sauce, ask about it with the Double Chicken Burger, and do not assume a large cash note can be changed. Prices are described as affordable by one regular, although another reviewer found the food a little pricey.
