What I Got: Texas Toast Sausage Breakfast Sandwich $2.09 with a Buy One, Get One Free Coupon
In a previous review, I enjoyed my look at the Hardee’s Monster Biscuit which came in at 710 calories and 51 grams of fat, which made it something you should rarely eat. After that review, a WIBIA reader e-mailed me and said I should try a Texas Toast Breakfast Sandwich and said that they were so good that they could eat them all day long. With that ringing endorsement, I had to check it out for myself.
The Texas Toast Breakfast Sandwich can be ordered with sausage, ham or bacon. The bacon will save you 100 calories versus the sausage sandwich I chose that comes in at 480 calories and 30 grams of fat. This is just slightly more than my favorite McDonald’s Sausage Egg McMuffin at 450 calories and 22 grams of fat.
Although this sandwich had large sausage patties and a couple of slices of cheese, the real test came down to the bread or toast itself. Often when I make eggs at home, I sprinkle in some garlic pepper to give it some flavor. I had the expectation that the Texas Toast would have good base of garlic taste and be softly toasted to make it an ideal complement to the sausage.
Would I Buy It Again? No. The toast was hard all the way around the edges making it difficult to bite into. Not only was the toast lacking the garlic taste I usually enjoy from Texas Toast, but this actually had a burnt taste like it was made in a toaster that had something burning in it. After I ate a few bites, I ended up tearing off the crust to make the rest of the sandwich edible. If you are heading to Hardee’s, stick with their freshly made breakfast biscuit sandwiches, which are above average or go for the Monster Biscuit if you have some calories and nearly your whole day of sodium allowance to give.

It seems like fast food places can never get toast right
I do love Hardee’s biscuits, though! I have fond memories of eating the cinnamon raisin biscuits when I was a kid. My dad would pick some up on the weekends and we’d devour them, including the icing stuck to the wax paper in the boxes, lol.
You might be thinking of the Texas Toast garlic bread… “real” Texas Toast is just a thicker slice of white bread. DQ/Sonic both sell a Texas Toast sandwich using just the thicker cut bread. Great site btw
Fast food, in my eyes, can never get a breakfast sandwich right. I drive past fast food places on my way to get my breakfast sandwich. I’d rather consume a humongous and delicious catastrophe of a breakfast sandwich than a cookie cut out of a breakfast sandwich. I live in Long Island and I always go to the same place for a sausage egg and cheese. The sandwich is huge and is ultimately more satisfying. There’s a pic at this site, if you don’t believe me: http://glenwoodnyc.com/roller/blog/entry/m_wells_restaurant_in_long – it’s the third pic down. The diner’s actual website seems to only have one page so I couldn’t find any pictures there. Trust me, it is pretty awesome.
