Checkers

“Its location is great because it's right across from the movie theater on Court St. You can fill up on spicy fries and banana milkshake before you waste your money on overpriced theater candy.”

“When I'm in the mood for an artery clogging meal again, I'll have to stop by and try it out again.”

“They have a bathroom and outdoor seating for nice weather, in the back- a little known amenity.”

  1. Fries are addicting.  Burgers are cheap (like 2 for $3) but very small and taste worse than Burger King's.  No smoothies when we went at ~8pm.  Private outdoor patio in the back has lots of potential.  Hope they clean it up.

  2. Large
    Milk shakes
    Are big. Quick
    Burger joint that
    Isn't always so quick. Cheaper than shack.

  3. After working up an appetite at the Transit museum we ran here for lunch.

    I got the bacon cheeseburger, nephew got a kids cheeseburger.

    We were pleased BUT he needed a larger portion. Luckily my meal came with tons of fries and we shared those. I loved the bacon and the fresh toppings. Like stuff was crispy. The fries were different from other places and tasted really good.

    Overall a great stop, only ruined by the fact that we sat on the first floor not realizing there was more seating available and the cold kept seeping in and cold fries are never sexy.

  4. Believe me, I was very skeptical when walking in.
    It does look a bit run down indoors, but the Deep Sea Double Fish sandwich was worth the risk.
    The fish fillet actually looked like fish, but the generic kind across the street at MCD.
    And the bun was toasted and crispy.

    For a little more than $3, I was happy for my day worth of protein.

    5 stars for the food.

  5. I went there today for dinner.  I had a bacon burger.  It was decent and oily like it should be for a burger that is.  It came with red onions, pickles, and cheese.  I also got an order of fries.  Man were they crispy delicious! My hubby opted for the spicy chicken sandwich which came with fresh lettuce.  It was not bad–I had bite to check it out.  I think that the items arrived in a timely manner.  More than that, the price is more affordable than McD's.  One thing that I would prefer is that they have a bathroom–unless they do and I did not see it?

  6. What can I say – cheap oily salty tasty unhealthy food. It's something when I don't feel like McDonald's. Service is often slow.

  7. Ghetto area but the place has always been clean, the hours are amazing (open until 2 or 3am depending on the day), and the fries are addictive. I've been twice now late at night and they have to make the fries fresh for me so both times theyve been piping hot and delicious, they're covered in a seasoned batter that makes me coming back. It's interesting to see a fast food chain have burgers, hotdogs, and wings though I wouldn't go out of your way for any of those here. I had a burger, it was about the same as a McDonalds burger, meh but dirt cheap. Shakes are good but not as good as McDonalds or Burger King. It's really the fries that makes Checkers stand out (and the hours).

    Also they actually have a outdoor private patio! Sadly it closes at a certain hour so I've only snuck a peek at it but it's something worth mentioning.

  8. One word to define checkers: ghetto.

    Chicken bites & fries combo box was $3.

    Dirt cheap but you get what you pay for.

    Still a step up from McDonald's I guess.
