Do you stop for the big star, or the "hot now" light? Burgers and fries, or donuts and coffee?

So which do you think, overall, is a better place to eat?

Take into consideration:

Value
Taste
Atmohsphere
Service

and anything else that would make a place a more desirable eating destination.

It was my privilege to serve you today. If you have any feedback, please direct it to my Assistant Director....

Hardees gives me the runs.

Anytime I see the "Hot and Ready" light, I run toward it.

There's the difference

This was a lot tougher than it should've been. Two for $2.22, the Liberty discount, and the convenience of it in Lynchburg made Hardee's very appealing.

Still, I grew up 20 minutes from the original Krispy Kreme. It would be blasphemy to pick against Krispy Kreme, at least in the first round.

I agree with SJ. I'm loving hardees deals.. but I don't stop every time I pass one with a light on in the window so my vote is KK

I like Hardees (although I swear Im going to drop dead right after having one of their burgers), but probably one of the happiest moments of my life was when I got to have my first hot fresh Krispy Kreme doughnut right off the line in PA a little over three years ago.

KK is okay. But I don't have too much of a sweet tooth. I don't even like Hardee's from 11am to close, but for those glorious morning hours they serve the loaded omelet biscuit. And that beats any sugar ring.

haha...I do. But I was up in PA for a friend's wedding and after the rehearsal we all stopped by a Krispy Kreme and we all got a hot fresh doughnut. I had had KK before because my parents would bring a box home from the store but I never had been to one of the hot and ready stores and so it was a real great time for me.

I feel bad not voting for Krispy Kreme since they started in this area but I'm going with Hardee's. My parents remodeled their kitchen when I was in 4th grade so we ate breakfast at Hardee's every morning for quite a while. I really like their biscuits and gravy. Good burgers too.

The old timers will tell you that KK couldn't even make it in Lynchburg and had to close. How can a college town--with 4 or 5 colleges--not support a donut shop? (the Little Caesar's on Candler's Mountain Rd. used to be a KK before it closed).

Tough choice between two mediocre options. I went with Hardees for old times sakes.
