    Two stars is generous. I came in today, and granted I did customize my orders so I'll take that on the chin. But when I got there, I was told to wait because the order was not done, but it was done, they were just generally disorganized. Heard a comment from one employee about 'driving them nuts' with the order I made, which was a 'Pick Two and Save' being a double checkerburger and checkerburger (no lettuce and tomato), a big buford (no lettuce, no pickle), a mushroom swiss burger, and an order of strawberry cheesecake bites with a Cherry Coke. I maybe at most order Checker's between 2-4 times a year, and each time I go to one of these locations in the Detroit suburban area, the staff have some issue, make some comment about my order, I understand the irritation of custom orders to one's taste, but the last two or three times I've been here... I've gotten mouthed at in some way. The food was fine, and it followed what I ordered to a T. It's just the lip service, from an employee or three with two of the last few orders I've gotten from this location (today and months back). (EDIT: as of 9pm tonight, same day... the food gave me an upset stomach as well at one point, so yes, probably not going back here and all of it was cold too.) (EDIT continued: had it at three stars, but the food made me a little grumbly tumbly, so knocked off a star. Two stars is generous.)

    Wow, what a shame this used to be such a great burger joint. I used to come here pretty often, but probably never again. I ordered online, text came back that my order was ready. I pulled up and watched the gentleman inside put my order next to the window, look me dead in the eyes and walk away. My food sat there for almost 8 minutes while he made more frys , packed a chicken nugget order, helped drive thru. Im not sure what I did but he didn't want to give me hot food. I got home and the burgers are tiny now, like Wendy's or white castle. And they were cold. So cold the cheese wasn't even melted. I ate about half and pitched the rest. At least the chicken tenders were hot but they were over cooked and hard . Super disappointing for Rallys, they'll probably be closed soon. This isnt my first time in the last few months the getting a sub par meal here. Do better.

    Just got an order through door dash. 10 pm. I got a bite box. I took one bite of a piece of chicken and it was so hard it hurt my tooth. How long did those have to sit there to be THAT hard? You've got to be kidding me. The fries were soft and gross. I live less than a mile from there. How did this happen?
