As the leaders in drive-thru for over 30 years Checkers & Rally’s locations are currently open and ready to serve our guests. We can provide our guests with the additional safety of an enclosed kitchen and limited personal contact – whether you choose to drive up, order ahead online, or have our food delivered. In response to concerns around the Coronavirus we have closed the few dining rooms that exist in the Checkers & Rally’s system and are limiting the number of people on our patio and at our walk-up windows. We are reinforcing our policies, including frequent and proper handwashing, along with the proper utilization and changing of gloves as we continue to serve our guests.

Slow and rude workers. They will eat a burger with the same gloves they use to make tour food instead of prepping your mobile order. Been waiting for over 15 minutes with no cars in the drive thru and still not ready. To top it off, I received the wrong burger and missing two sauces that I paid for.
