Checkers Drive-in Restaurant

A burger is a burger at most, not all fast food joints. They serve burgers here and they serve their purpose, but me, I am here for the wings, I love their wings and on Sundays they always have a special. I love hot wings, that is the only thing I am interested in from Checkers.
Every now and then I will get a cheese burger along with the wings. When I get both, I am not sure if it’s because I am hungry or just greedy, the dice can roll in either direction in that scenario. This particular location has a big seating area, very rarely do I see people in in there. I usually do the drive thru. I like my wings hot as hell, so I always get Angry, that’s my favorite. The only 2 things I don’t like is that they charge you for the ranch/​blue cheese dressings for the wings. They are very practiced and smooth about it. They will ask which sauce you would like and then charge you for it on the bill without having a discussion about the extra charges. Yeah, it’s just 50 cents or whatever. But just let the consumer know. When you are really fiending for those wings and you don’t have that extra $ 0.50 it can really pull your chain. Lol
You can tell I was a girl scout…
The second thing I don’t like is after you place and pay for your order, they ask you to pull into a parking space and bring your order to you. Sometimes, they make a mistake, but they quickly correct it. All in all, this is my go to spot for wings. Thank you Domino’s for messing up my order last night and sending me back to my first love for some Angry wings!

Worst service ever. I’ve never been to a slower drive thru. And the attitudes of employees were very lackadaisical.
Simply terrible.

This is my go-​to spot when I’m feeling fat with no patience to cook. When I want a good chain burger & fries I’ll always stop at Checkers vs McD.
While I’ve had no problem with their food, sometimes I find that they’re often short-​staffed, even during a good time in the afternoon/​evening. There always seem to be two, maybe 3 people behind the counter and when it’s busy there seems to be a line (because cashier is bouncing back and forth preparing food, so it takes a minute to get orders in.) I’ve personally had no quarrel over this, but other customers usually bicker about it.
Cleanliness is usually not an issue, unless a group of teens come in and make some kind of mess. The area of the place is actually pretty big, and with small staff a student group’s junk may not be cleaned up till a little while later. I generally do not feel comfortable with the layout since there are no way for the staff to directly see/​intervene if something happens to a customer in the general eating area– I usually either eatvquick or take my stuff to go.

My second time visiting this location. The only improvement was the friendly guy at the counter that seemed a bit overwhelmed.
The overall service is still incredibly slow and the two women working this Saturday afternoon shift just came across as rude an disinterested. There really is no amount of desperation that will get me back here.

Good food. Good service. One time they made me wait on the side of the drive thru till they freshly cooked my order but they were kind enough to come out to my car and give it to me (it was 15 degrees that day). The burgers are slightly small for my taste. I always offer a little something on the side. Fries are amazing.

When exactly did Checkers start this foolishness about no mixing shakes?!? I feel like not even getting my meal because of this nonsensical policy!
So apparently it costs too much to mix them. Ummm you’re not paying somebody to stand there with some mixer!!! They don’t come premixed so I’m really failing to see the issue! Smh

It is very difficult trying to rate a fast-​food joint. You’re not going to Spago’s or your favorite trendy macro-​biotic grain and feed. The rating you see here is RELATIVE to other restaurants in its class (BK, or McD’s).
Checkers has become my go to fast food place. Excellent burgers, seasoned fries, and fries slathered with all sorts of dairy and meat based cholesterol. In other words, junk food Nirvana.
The service has been friendly and fast, making it worth the slog up Utica Avenue.
Side note, their buffalo wings are better than they have any right to be and the prices are damn cheap.

This Checkers actually has a drive-​thru (like it’s supposed to!) And indoor seating! Large unisex bathroom. Clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Good food

I like this one better than the one in the Junction. The banana shake hit the spot but the burgers were beyond well done. It was all falling apart.

this place is Perfect for late night munchies lol

The infamous Checkered flag fast food phenomenon has finally hit my ‘hood! I’m a straight sucka for their banana milkshakes, but I had to try a sandwich this go-​round. Had a spicy chicken sandwich for a whopping $ 2. Just right for a late night craving after a loooong day at work. And I loved the fact that I didn’t have to get out of the car either. God Bless drive-​thru!

Yesssss!!! Its Finally Open Near Me. Went On 04÷26÷11 Around 10pm. Was
Greeted With All Smiles, The Service Was OK Because They Kept Me Waiting 35Min For Just Two Chili Cheese Dogs, But Its Ok, I Even Scored Free Fully Loaded Fries Because Of That. I Really Ran My Ass Back Home, I Looked In The Bag AND Instead Of Two Dogs, There Were 3, It Was Sooooo Damn Good I Couldnt Finsh All 3. There Is A Drive Thu As Well As In-​Door Seating. So If U Love Checkers n Live In East Flatbush, Midwood, Canarise. Check Checkers Out
