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.

Don’t go here! We ordered and waited about 10 minutes for our food…. Our chocolate shake tasted like banana like the blender wasn’t washed before it was made. We ordered wings and they took forever to make….wanted garlic Parmesan but they gave us buffalo and no one liked the buffalo so they got thrown away. Some of the fries were crispy, but more were soggy. Should have read the reviews first and most of the responses to the complaints by the “owner” are clearly a bot.

Manager was cussing and yelling at employees, then proceeded outside to yell and scream at the guests. Very unprofessional and will never be back.

Huge kudos to the team working Christmas night! You could tell the kitchen was a little chaotic but they got our large order at 9pm 100% correct with a smile and an apology for having taken a little more time.
