Hardee's - Cookeville

This fast food restaurant features a fantastic breakfast menu. A highlight is the bacon, cheese, and egg biscuit, which is a great option. However, the real star is the biscuits and gravy with bacon; the gravy strikes the perfect balance, neither too runny nor too thick, and has a traditional southern flair. Do keep in mind that the drive-thru can get busy, especially during breakfast hours, with traffic sometimes spilling onto Main Street. Fortunately, the staff is efficient and keeps the lines moving. Prices are reasonable compared to other fast food choices, and their burgers are popular for those looking for a hearty protein option.

While the presentation may not be extraordinary, their burgers and fries are fresh and served hot. If you're craving tasty fast food at an affordable price, this spot is a fantastic option. Be aware that breakfast can get quite crowded, so it's advisable to plan ahead. And don’t forget to check for coupons!
