I don’t normally write reviews for chain fast foods. But this place has to be put down. Wow. Discovered one of these nostalgic places near my area. Thought I give it a shot. Despite of the low rating of the place. I just had this last week in LI got the 2 for 3 $ chicken, fish sandwich, fries, and a drink. I paid under 10 $ Today came up to $ 10+ ?! In my photos you would see my so called strawberry milkshake where the syrup was floating on top and everything else was water. I recalled even on summers days my milkshake didn’t melt… today’s 39 degrees. and I don’t know how stingy they were with an order of med fries. but that my friend is definitely less then a small. The bread on my burgers were stale… which I had to chuck out and the meat was still cold in the middle?! That one star is just there cause Unilocal isn’t mean enough to give 0’s. This place needs new management. Stat!

Super sucky. If you want to pay for food & not receive it this is the place you should go to. The food that was received wasn’t even prepared properly. The wings were sauce less & our bacon cheese fries had whole pieces of bacon. Such a disappointment.

I have only gone through the drive through at this Checker’s restaurant it is beside a Dunkin Donuts so it’s a little confusing when you’re trying to order at Checkers when you realize the first window you pull up to us actually Dunkin Donuts. My favorite thing from checkers are the fries. Although a little bit on the soggy side they are well seasoned and always served hot!

Decent fast food joint. Their prices are better than most. They have the best seasoned fries and milk shakes and the drive thru is convenient.

They moved the drive thru line fast. I cant say that for many other fast food places.

Checkers is a great burger. I think its close to a real burger. McDonalds, Wendys, BK, taste the same. I ordered the # 1 meal. The Big Buford and the Fully Loaded Fries. Big Buford in comparison is a Big Mac, but with better meat and portions. The Loaded Fries is basically fries with cheese, ranch dressing and bacon. A good place, however there are negatives to this place. Come lunch time the place gets crowded and the inside is the size of a small bodega. So eating in is out of the question. Parking there is terrible so, driving there is a downside. When I went there I missed the Drive Thru like twice. Reason being is that they share the drive thru with Dunkin Donuts. You would have to drive thru Dunkin Donuts to get to Checkers Drive thru on the way out. Not many checkers around so its a bit of a hike to pick up a burger. So if you are in the area. planning to grab and go and not stay, this is a place to eat, otherwise keep walking.

This place seperates itself from the rest of the faat food joints by actually being fast. It could just be that the area isnt near much of anything… then again it was a sunday. It is actually cleaner than other checkers i have been to and it actually shows in the quality of the food. In case i dont make sense: if you put that much effort into keeping a placr clean it is assumed that you put as much effort into the outcome of the food. Or it simply could just be that they use alot of seasoning in their food and alot of sugar in their drinks. I love any of their fries(the variety is down right good to the core and bad for your health) and the banana milkshake.

The food is better than other fast food restaurants. Which naturally means they probably spend more time and effort on their foods. There is a longer wait for the food compared to other fast food places like McDonald’s and Burger King. But the wait is about 15 – 20 minutes. So as long as you’re aware of the wait time and you’re not in a rush, then I’d say this place is worth visiting and trying.

It’s a good place to get lunch but it takes over more than 10 minutes to get your food in the front counter.

Burgers are better than McDonald’s and better than most other fast food joints. Wait time is a little longer than fast food joints because(supposedly) food is all made to order and not sitting under heat lamps. Vanilla shake was TOO thick. Took about 20 minutes before I was able to slurp it through the straw. Ordered the double cheese burger which was tasty. Onions are raw. Fries are tasty and fresh. The tables are disgusting. Floor is in need of sweeping and through mopping. The garbage can was over stuffed and liquid was oozing out. Really gross place to actually eat in. Had to wipe down the table with napkins and hand sanitizer, which they have and is free. Thank God. If you’re craving cheeseburgers and aren’t looking for anything spectacular and don’t want to eat in, I think it’s a tasty, economical and fast way to get your fix.

With only 3 cars ahead of me I managed to waste 25 minutes in the drive through line. That is completely and utterly ridiculous and unacceptable. The guy at the window asked me my order three times as if he was trying to get me to change my mind or something. I asked for sauce, didn’t get any and I order a lot of food. The chicken has seriously gone down in quality over the years. I mean it is still fast food overall but it used to be juicy and tasty and now it just taste like mc d’s chicken nuggets. The shrimp was good and crispy though. That is probably the only thing I’d ever order from here again besides may be fries.

THISISONLYCONCERNINGDRIVE-THRUSERVICE … Horrible service in drive thru. I paid for 2x spicy chicken double(at 2x =$ 6), an order of fries, strawberry shake and an apple pie. Instead I get 1x spicy chicken, strawberry shake and apple pie.

Food is good but try to avoid dining in. The tables are always dirty and the floors are sticky. It’s not like the place is packed and they are lacking staff. The bottom line is poor work ethic. It’s evident by the managers attitude. He was an older man who was more interested in playing with his young employee rather than cleaning the eating area. It really makes me sad to see the lack of customer service in businesses. There’s such a decline in work ethic these days.

The food is delicious. A nice walk away from my job. It has your regular burgers, wings, French fries. My all time favorite is the Honey bbq wings. I believe they fry the wings first and then dip them in delicious bbq sauce. Comes with 5 wings French fries and a drink for about $ 8.00. Also, must try the loaded French fries. Ranch, Bacon and Cheese. A meal runs from 6 – 12 $ depending on what you get. This location, get’s rowdy sometimes because of the school kids. Most of the time there is no where to sit! :(

Pretty good for late night munches. The fries are amazing and perfectly seasoned. At times the staff takes to long but they getthe food out in a reasonable amount of time.

The place is in a bad location. No parking and right by a school. The last time I was here, I made the mistake of coming here in the early afternoon on a school day. The place was full of high schoolers who just sat in class for the last 6 hours and needed to let loose. That means loud, rude, and disrespectful teenagers who will shamelessly ask strangers for money because they are high schoolers. I’ve come here before on Sundays when it was calmer. The staff is usually friendly, but they are really stingy with their sauces. They will charge 50 cents for a packet of ranch. As for the quality of the food, this is a fast food joint so don’t expect anything more than that. I will say that their burgers are better than McDonald’s or Burger King, but still pretty gross. If you’re a high schooler, this place would be a decent hangout after school. If you’re not a high schooler, stay away.

Good for late night munchies! Deeply fried, or even double fried seasoned fries… Always tasty and always crispy! Even survives a drive home!!! Where else can you get seasoned stay-crispy fries and drive all the way home with it and have it taste like it just came out of them fryer? It’s only been Checkers! Sandwiches are good and oober cheap. Only gripe is that sometimes to lettuce tastes old. But who cares when your drunk and incapacitated and hungry?!(*disclaimer: let your DD drive you here when the hunger pains hit. be responsible! Drive sober or get pulled over!!! Or die… it’s up to you.) They are open late, until 2am on Thursdays-Sundays… I think. I need to double check… will get back to you on that!

Okay here’s my review… I had a craving for chicken strips so I turned to checkers for my relief & I must say I do not regreat it at all. Everything was soo fresh plus the guy gave me extra fries and strips on top of that! Ohh boy I was happy to get an extra bang for my buck =) All in all this place is worth a try…
