| - Awww Checkers, I'm so glad I found you again after so many years! I grew up with you but then moved to Vegas and thought we would never see each other again. Oh happy day because you have now opened a place in town, so our romance can continue!
So, it has been about 20 years since I had Checkers/Rally's. I remember them being the best burgers and fries in the world. I was so excited to grab some food here and relive my childhood with my family. The Baconzilla Burger was tasty, the fried chicken sandwich was like every other fried chicken sandwich at fast food places, and the fish sandwich was in the same boat as the chicken. The fries are still pretty tasty being covered in all sorts of seasoning and fried to be on the crispy side. The food wasn't as fantastic as I remember it, but it was still pretty tasty. The milk shakes are quite yummy here too. They even have banana milk shakes, which you don't see often.
The only negative here are the serving sizes on the fries. The small order of fries looked like it should belong in the kid's meal not the adult meal. So if you are hungry, go for a bigger size otherwise you will still be hungry afterwards. The drinks and the sandwiches all seem on par with other comparable places.
The prices all seem a tad on the high side for what you get. They aren't outrageous, but more than what you will spend at McDs or BK or the like, on a similar meal deal.
This particular location is on a really busy corner, so you have to be careful getting in and out of the place, since everyone drives like maniacs in this area. It can also take a bit to get out of the parking lot onto the main street again due to the high volume of traffic. This is not a good place if you are crunched for time.
As for the seating, it is outdoor only, so keep that in mind if you plan on going in the middle of July. Also with it being on a busy street corner, it is loud sitting outside due to the traffic sounds.
So yes, Checkers is a yummy fast food joint for good burgers. The fries are tasty, but order a bigger size than normal for yourself. And lastly, give yourself some extra time since everything is on the slow side.
