Fast Food RestaurantBurger JointAmerican Restaurant
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.

    Okay I’ll try to keep this short.🤢🤢🤢🤮 Yeah so we ordered food for us and our kids so it was like $40 worth of food. Got told to go to the other side window to pick up food. We saw that the young man working on food dropped tongs on the floor THEN USE THEM TO PICK UP FOOD OUT OF THE FRYER AND PUT THEM IN CONTAINERS, BAGS THEN HANDED IT TO THE CUSTOMER IN THE DRIVE THRU!!!!!! Once we finally got his attention he said “oh my bad” and laughed and closed the window and walked away. We requested a refund and I for one will not be going back to this location. We get accidents happen (dropping the tongs) but like just bring them to the back and grab a new pair! Simple as that. I wish I could’ve caught the car before they left to tell them not to eat the food 🤮 🤢🤢

    Checkers is great when you want something fast and greasy, but the food definitely leans heavily into the “chemically processed” side of fast food. A lot of the items—especially the burgers, fries, and chicken—have that artificial, overly seasoned taste that makes it clear they rely on a lot of additives and preservatives. It fills you up, but it doesn’t feel like real, clean food. The fries are iconic, but even they have that powdery, heavily seasoned coating that tastes more engineered than natural. Same goes for the burgers and sandwiches—plenty of flavor, but you can tell it’s coming more from laboratory-level seasoning mixes than actual ingredients. If you’re sensitive to processed foods or you try to avoid artificial ingredients, you’ll notice it right away. The service is usually quick, and the prices are cheap, so it’s convenient. But when it comes to ingredient quality, Checkers feels like one of the more “chemical-forward” fast food spots out there. It’s fine for cravings or late-night hunger, but not something you’d want to eat regularly if you care about what’s actually going into your food.

    I went there to order, and the machine didn’t catch my order, so I said “team member”. So someone came to the intercom and I asked them “can you read my order back to me so I can make sure is everything correct please?” And the girl said “absolutely not” and I was confused and it ruined my appetite but she did read the order when she realized I went silent. Idk if she was trying to funny but it wasn’t at all.

    If I could give this place no stars I would!! I'm so upset that I was treated the way that I was!! I ordered the mix and match classic burgers for 4.50 with a bites box which I thought was 4.05 and when I ordered at the walk up window the girl took forever then she swung the door open so fast she scared me then looked at and then so while I placed my order she said the price and It was like 6 dollars and change and I said wait "that's cheap why I thought I was gonna be around 9 bucks and she said the bite box was lowered to 1.99 and that the meal price is 4.05 ok so I said sure ill do the meal why did she charge me for 12 dollars and change? No receipt was given to me until I asked her after I got my food and then she told me that the meal price is more and that they need to change the price on the board!!! Like why could you.have told me I that I was gonna be charged 6 bucks for a soda cus if it's 6 bucks for the 2 mix and match burgers and a bite box why was it over 12 bucks to add the soda...?
