The Carl’s Jr. Breakfast Burger is Now the Most Important Burger of the Day
Charbroiled burger topped with bacon, egg, cheese, hash rounds and
ketchup is now available all day long
CARPINTERIA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Carl’s
Jr.®, the quick service restaurant (QSR) chain known for pioneering
creatively decadent, QSR-first menu items, raises the bar in the
industry’s breakfast battle with today’s announcement that its popular
Breakfast Burger will now be available all day, every day at
participating restaurants.
Since its launch in 2004, the Breakfast Burger has given Carl’s Jr.
customers the best of both breakfast and lunch worlds, with a mash-up of
the two packed inside one seeded bun — the iconic bacon, egg and hash
brown breakfast meets the classic burger lunch, when combined with a
charbroiled beef patty, American cheese and ketchup. This menu item has
only been available during breakfast hours for the past 13 years, but
can now be ordered all day long.
“When Carl’s Jr. created the Breakfast Burger over a decade ago, we
became the first major hamburger QSR chain to put an egg on a burger and
it really was the perfect marriage of a great burger and classic
breakfast items. In fact, Carl’s Jr. has always sold its entire burger
line during breakfast – and they make up a significant portion of all of
the meals served in the morning – so it became obvious that we needed to
create a true ‘breakfast burger’ for our guests,” said Brad Haley, chief
marketing officer for Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s®.
“While we’ve served burgers all day for a long time, serving breakfast
all day is a big thing in the industry right now. So, the Carl’s Jr. way
to meet that demand is to offer our classic Breakfast Burger all day
long.”
The Breakfast Burger is available as a single patty burger for $4.39, a
double burger patty for $5.69 and as a 100 percent Black Angus beef,
1/3-lb. Thickburger for $5.69, all of which can be ordered as a combo
meal with fries and a drink starting at $6.79. Prices may vary by
location.
