The burger consists of a one-third of a pound Black Angus beef patty that has been charbroiled before being topped with a garlic herb butter spread. The sandwich is then sprinkled with cartelized onions and parmesan crisps, and comes served on toasted sourdough bread that's buttered to perfection. The Hardee's Garlic Bread Thickburger is only available for a limited time while supplies last and has been announced alongside the Cheesy Garlic Fries. The new fries can be added to any existing combo for an additional $1 for a more indulgent side dish option.
