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.

Food was good but I found a long black string of hair in my fries when I got home. If it hadn't been so late I would have taken the food back. Normally I don't have an issue at this particular location.

I pulled in and they said they weren't serving food, at 8 at night. But I smelled weed pouring out of the place.
