Checkers a/k/a Rallys should be memorable to people like me who were born and raised in the south.
You may also recall Big Boi, from the hip-hop duo Outkast, rapping about Rallys in the third verse of the Outkast song "Elevators (Me and You)" when he says "Back in the day when I was younger, hunger. Lookin to fill me belly with that Rally's, bullish!t, pull sh!t off like it was supposed to be pulled"...
Checkers/Rallys is much like In-N-Out burger without an inside to dine in. It is drive thru only. But they have some of the best burgers IMO. Their fries are hit or miss though.
If you want a good burger, here are my top(s):
1. Butcher Block -- They make their own 100% beef patties with signature BBQ sauce. You have to take it home and cook it yourself, but these were the bet burgers I've ever had. Top it off with some cheddar cheese. HUGE patties... not too big, not too small
2. Cheeburger Cheeburger -- Huge burgers in different size. I don't care too much for the buns because I feel they are too big. Tons of toppings and OTHER great foods to go with it
3. Checkers/Rallys -- love that taste and it brings back memories. My only problem is that there is only one of these places and it's all the way across town in tweakerville (a/k/a Boulder Hwy.)
4. In-n-out burger -- better than fast food like McDonald's or Burger King... but nothing to write home about
If I'm ever on Boulder Hwy., which is super rare, I will always stop by Checkers/Rallys
