Checkers

WHY AM I REVIEWING THIS? Burgers are pretty ok, everything else seemed whack. Cool that they have delivery but not cool that I could have walked back and forth from my apartment to there about seven x in the amount of time delivery took.

Food is what you expect, greasy and TOTALLY bad for you but a guilty pleasure. Thay have crazy deals like 2 for $ 5 burgers or chicken sandwiches. There medium combos are ridiculously big and the shady characters visiting the establishment add to its charm lol

The fact that I have a receipt from here proves I stopped in for a milkshake at 3:42 am. The fact that I completely blocked out this experience tells me that it was, perhaps, not the best milkshake I’ve ever encountered. The fact that I’m here to write this review tells me that, although the place (now that I remember going) *felt* a little sketch, was, well, survivable. I also remember thinking «No way am I getting anything cooked from here.»
P. S. I was 100 percent sober when I went here.

This place is SCARY. Its like a cross between a halfway house, homeless shelter and mental ward at a hospital. I mean its like a comedy and drama in one. It’s just not safe. Homeless people live here. I have nothing against homeless people, but in this situation, I was scared for my safety. You can tell they live there, because they have all their belongings with them. They talk loudly to themselves. They also get in arguments with each other as well as imaginary people who are not even there. When I was in, there was a couple of people arguing. They were not customers, they had no food, just their belongings. It was evident that they had been there for a while, and they had an obvious relationship with the staff. One of them kept yelling at the other, calling her a whore at the top of his lungs. The accused whore insisted that she was indeed NOT a whore, while her accuser, also at the top of his lungs insisted that he had just witnessed her «SUCKING COCK» in the street moments earlier. There were at least 6 inhabitants of this place that were not eating checkers food. I am happy to say non of them were sucking cock either. If I were watching the same scenario play out on TV, I might be laughing. However, in this case, I was just trying to have dinner. I talked to staff, who informed me that it is like this all the time. I also spoke to the manager, who chose not to address the situation. I chose to leave. I won’t be going back. Unless of course I need my… oh never mind, I think I can do without that for now, but god knows my wife won’t do it, so maybe I should check with the lady who lives at Checkers on Broadway. ;-) God only knows what kind of combinations they offer at this Checkers.

I’m waiting for checkers to open in Coney Island. There sigh is up they never opened this summer.

this place is so good. i tried checkers for the firsst time ever this month. i came in there drunk and decided to get the baconzilla fries. they were so good. and for a fast food restaurant job the workers are always smiling and happy.

Doubles as a homeless shelter at night. Actually couldn’t sit at a table because all of them were occupied by sleeping homeless guys. I wish this was an exaggeration, but I walk past every night after work and it’s always the same ridiculous scene.

I love this place so much it’s almost embarrassing except it’s not. I order from them like once a week (when drunk on the weekends) and food always arrives insanely hot and fast. I love checkers. I want checkers to cater my wedding.

When I’m starving late night, I come here. Heart attack but what can I do when everything around your face is like 2 for $ 6 or 2 for $ 5. Who can resist deals like that. Whatever the case, its like too heavy for me when I eat too much. One time I had their milkshakes and boy did i have the runs for the bathroom. THank god i don’t live too far away. Stay away from those. Other than that, a pretty decent fast food place with good deals

When it comes to fast food, I really like this particular checkers. Ive been to others and they all suck but something about this one. They just make their food good here.
The loaded fries
Their 2 for $ 6 sandwich specials
gotta try the chicken strips with Asian Kick sauce :-0 amazing
They have alot of good menu items.
Love it for a late night bite.

Super late, disgusting, greasy, not even ketchup packs added. WHOLE LOT OF BULLSHIT.

Checkers is a typical fast food joint. Their food is high in fat, calories and sugar, but it’s oh so delicious if that’s what you’re after. Their seasoned fries are fantastic. So much so that you don’t even need to slather them in ketchup. They give you good portions and the price isn’t too bad consider how much food you’re getting. This location also delivers, which is awesome! The location itself is nothing to write home about, but the food will surely be delicious and will fill you up when you eat it.

Post-​Yelp event while awaiting the bus, I thought it would be a good idea to keep warm in the nearby fast food joint so my fingers wouldn’t freeze off. Upon entry, my eyes glance at two irresistible words: mozzarella sticks. Powerless against fried cheese, my legs gravitated towards the counter. There yet again, another gigantic sign smacked me in the face, 2 for $ 6 spicy double chicken sandwiches.
There I was, waiting for my order, happy as a clam, with the notion of hot mozzarella sticks to warm up my lifeless body. Receiving my order it felt heavier than usual, then I remember blurting out, «2 spicy double chickens, please.» Walking to the bus stop, I sank into a mozzarella stick. Quite possibly the poorest excuse for a fried cheese stick I ever came across. I knew it would be frozen but it had that freezer taste to it. Hope was not lost, maybe the chicken sandwiches would redeem me.
Boarding the bus, I found a seat and quickly opened my first sandwich. Immediately, mesmerized by not one but two patties, I realized this was either going to be a really bad idea or the most glorious heart attack I’ve subjected myself to. Taking a few bites, I didn’t want to do this anymore. Putting it down, I flung my grease bag to the wayside never to be seen again.
Gluttony is a sin and I learned this the hard way. At least I got quick and courteous service from the cashier, plus one star.

The seasoned fries totally rock, and make a tasty munch-​out for after downing many PBR’s and Jack Daniels shots across the way at Duff’s while rocking out to non-​stop heavy metal tunes.
The place itself late at night seems to draw some thuggish individuals and weirdos as can be expected in this area. The burgers are pretty much what you would expect from a fast food joint and not all that great. The one large flat screen they have here wasn’t working. Looks kind of dirty but they do have an A on the window. Typical fast food high caloric menu. Hey, it’s a Checkers what do you expect?
Still, it’s all about those addicting seasoned fries!

Just found out that there was a Checkers in this part of Brooklyn. i came here a few times and everytime I was here, it was pouring rain. It’s a really ghetto checkers. It’s hood inside and out. Every time I’m here, there’s always a few thug lookin dudes straight chillin inside and out. They’ll walk in and out of the joint lookin high as a kite. Anyway, it’s a good fast food joint if you’re tired of McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s. I just wish they can open up some Sonics in NYC already.

Cheap. Tasty. Good portions.
Whole Foods crowd, stay away.

This is my second review of a Checkers. For some reason they’re opening all over the B44 bus route. For some other reason I“m often very drunk when getting on the B44. So I’m kinda getting to be a Checkers regular. I still can’t bring myself to give fast food more than three stars.
I ended up here because the McD’s next door used to have a late-​nite window, but they closed it. Probably if the little slidey window had been open I’d have got a cheeseburger and caught my ride, but Checkers, while fast, isn’t quite as fast as premade food shoved out the side of a building so I missed the B44 and wolfed down a cheesy bacony double-​pattied-​Texas Toast-​ed topped-​with-​onion-​rings burger in an empty bus lot and hailed a cab.

Checkers!!! I’m glad that this has finally made it’s way to NYC. I had this place when I was in South Carolina. The food here is made to order and you never see anything under a hot lamp. The chicken sandwiches are awesome and instead of a hamburger bun. They have it between two pieces of toast. Though the locations are a bit scarce. I’m waiting for more to open up. Whenever i’m in Williamsburg I stop by for a quick bite to eat.
