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.

    Was in town from out of town. Loving the freshness of the food. Those fries are so good! Burgers were hot and delicious, but most of all they were made correctly. The person that took our order was a nice gentleman he even joked with us ! It doesn't seem like much but in a world where customer service Lacks, I'll take the small victories lol this is a great establishment and they do not miss! Also wanted to mention that last year my Mom's van stopped in their driveway and that man came out of there and helped us push the van into Lowe's gas! Exemplary service!

    I've really enjoyed it since it came back, but tonight's food is really disappointing. I'm not blaming the workers, it's the food itself. These fries aren't Checkers fries, they're a Great Value brand of them. Please don't let the quality fall apart to cut costs. It'll drive everyone away.

    Poor communication by the first drive thru person, but the entire experience improved 100% once the shift manager took control!!
