Checkers

This Checkers is a Hit or Miss depending upon the times.
Th attitudes could be a little more pleasent also.

I gave it two stars because it’s not anything gourmet or special about this place fries are good. However lately their fries are a bit greasy. The window service guy was nice however. The line only had one lane working, we weren’t sure if the other lane worked it wasn’t lit. Anyway got what I needed and left.

Obviously not a fine dining establishment. Though their banana milkshake is most exquisite.
2 delicious grese burgers for $ 5, and no fries and soda purchase required!

Absolutely terrible service was told to wait about three times before I can order. Then when I did order employees was rude and disrespectful as well as making me rush while I had to wait. The food was made so bad that it fell apart before I can even take my first bite. I really recommend not to come to this location.

Checkers is a regular drive in spot. Nothing special. If I eat there i will get the spicy chicken sandwich with the season fries. They usually have different specials for the sandwiches every month so you just have to just stop in a see. Everything except the ice cream is fried so if you are looking for something healthy is not it! The shakes are thick but they come out of the machine… its not like they make it from scratch.
Welp its fast food… meh. I’ve experienced better :)

The food here is always good when I come here. I just wish they had a nice sized dine in lobby like mcdonalds or Burger King has.

I personally don’t eat Checkers anymore, but my friends seem to love it. This location is open late and the customer service was amazing compared to dusty Wendy’s up the block lol. I also find their drive thru really cute with the old school feel. Checkers is one of the few places that still has coupons lol. Cheers to Checkers in recognizing that everyone loves a deal!

Indulging in junk food is not always a good thing but if you’re living in a «YOLO» lifestyle, it’s OK once in a while.
Checkers Drive-​In takeout can be that once in a while guilt-​free junk food meal. Their Bacon Roadhouse Burger, Philly Cheese Chicken, Philly Cheese Steak and Fully Loaded Fries are good enough to increase your triglycerides back to bad levels.
Even though I didn’t get to taste the burger or steak (but did ate a fry or two), I can imagine how good they can be by son’s reaction… oh well…
As most Unilocalers stated that the drive-​in is in a questionable area. It’s in a shopping center with a Home Depot, Marshalls and Applebees, so it’s not that bad. The bulletproof windows does give the restaurant a bad impression though.
Next time you see a Checkers Drive-In…do a drive by and give it a try (does that sound corny?).

Wow! Amazing food and a more amazing crew! It looks like they love their job and my sandwich and chicken bites taste so fresh! Can’t say enough good things about this place!

There burgers and fries are so good :). Price is a bit more pricer then regular fast food spots though. The people there sorta rude.

How good can fast food be?
There are a bunch of college kids who work here that clearly hate their job.
The service isn’t the greatest. But it’s not the worst either.
They usually screw up. But if you drive around and tell them they’ll fix your order.
Just don’t be rude to the window clerks! Never be rude to food industry people!
They’re people too!
Checkers food is good though. I mean it’s a franchise so.

2 stars for the location.
5 stars for the Checkers franchise and food.
Checkers is awesome. It has great food that surpasses the McDonalds and Burger Kings that mindless zombies goes too, it’s cheap as dirt, and the service is speedy and decent. This particular Checkers however, while its the closest one to us, is at a gritty and questionable neighborhood. If you live around the Valley Stream area and you have a craving for delicious meaty treats that only Checkers can fulfill try going to the Baldwin, Hempstead, or East Meadow ones. If you really don’t have the time then don’t linger in this location. Just get your food and go.
My bf and I were at the take out window waiting on line to place our order. This unkempt crackhead looking woman went up to my bf and started talking to him. My bro-​in-​law had seen her dancing in front of Checkers when we were parking. Their conversation went something like this:
Sketchy Lady: Buy me a drink! I’ll give you the money!
Adam V: Why don’t you buy your own?
Sketchy Lady: You think Ima CRIM-​NAALL?! Buy me a drink!
Adam V: No.
Sketchy Lady: Use your credit card. I’ll give you money. How much is a drink?
AdamV: A value drink is $ 1.00
Sketchy Lady: I want a large drink! Buy me a drink! You think I’m a crim-​nal?!
And it went on and on like that… Yikes.
We got our cheap and delicious well worth it food. Sketchy lady got her large drink. Happy Ending.

Checkers has amazing french fries… this location is a little oddly designed, but I enjoyed my meal. I needed fast food to take with me on my way to a string of meetings and this place more than provided. The food came quickly. I got exactly what I ordered. The meal really was not expensive. I think for what it is, Checkers is great. The Spicy chicken burger was great. The strawberry milkshake was adequate. The apple pie was «aight».

Love their french fries! Perfect seasoning. I would go here just for those. The burgers are ok. They have plenty of variety like onion rings on a burger and bbq sauce and so on. There is always a specialty burger or chicken sandwich on the menu everytime I go it seems. There are many places to get better food but sometimes you just wanna get some burgers and sit in your car. This is the place to do it. Always places to park. It’s quiet as well and service is pretty quick. Just stay away from the chicken wings. They are not that good at all and super expensive for what they are!

It’s not the best Checkers experience I’ve had, but it’s not bad either.
The location is sort of stupid because it is in a shopping center, and coming in/​out of the parking lot to get to the sectioned off Checkers lot is not so straight-​forward (literally).
Also, the neighborhood isn’t the best. (Not the worst either, but the bank next door has bullet-​proof glass in front of the tellers, for example).
Fast service, great 2-​for deals all the time, and tasty food.
If you’ve never been to a Checkers before, I’m sorry for you. This has to be the best fast-​food burger on Long Island. Compares to In-​N-​Out Burger, but with more options on the menu.
These burgers actually have meat on them, fresh vegetables, and good sized pieces of bacon (if you order them with bacon, of course).
I haven’t felt the need to step out of line and leave a Checkers yet. They’re attentive to the customer IN the store, just as much as the customer in their car. You know what i mean? Sometimes you go into a typical fast food joint, and there’s 4 employees working 1 drive-​thru window, and no one cares about the 10 people waiting in line! — I’ve not experienced anything like that at a Checkers yet.
Oh, and wow. I did this whole blurb without mentioning their fries. Yes, checkers has some amazing seasoned fries!

Three words:
DEEP SEA DOUBLE!
Their fish sandwich is delicious and tell me when’s the last time you had a double fish sandwich?! That’s right. NEVER! I would get out of my bed right now and go to checkers for a friggin DSD. The fries?! My goodness. So tasty and flavorful. Always crispy. I’ve never had soggy fries at checkers and I’ve been here more than quite a few times. By far my favorite fast food.
Two drive thrus or you can go inside. Go NOW!!!

Not bad. Though I go here once every few years just to have a burger and their famous seasoned fries.
The prices here are a bit higher than other fast foods but it’s more a nostalgic feel than anything for me. I have been going to Checkers since I was younger. There aren’t too many around now so enjoy it while it lasts.
Give it a try and let me know what you think?

Checkers, oh my Checkers…
Your fast, friendly brand of a warm-​décor drive-​thru dining experience makes me smile so. Though red pin-​stripe wearing roller-​skaters would have earned you an additional star, you are still so damn attractive that I’m going to head over to you now so I can get your Big-​Buford® or Spicy Chicken burger for a very manageable low price. Maybe I’ll check out your «Unbelieva-​burger”® special (out now) along with a side of wings, soda, and hot dogs. (Yes, all at the same place!)

I love their French Fries and spicy chicken burger! The French Fries are seasoned well of sweet potatos. Although once in a while a little indulgence will not kill you as one needs to live life! This location is drive-​through only. I would come here often in a past life of adult times as my former love is a native Long Islander.
I do not recommend eating here often, as like any fast food, it can be fattening and definitely increase one’s cholesterol level.

Before I knew of Joe’s, or dreamt about In-​N-​Out, Checkers was my favorite place for a burger and loaded fries.
I love their milkshakes the most, theyre the only fast food place I know of with banana milkshakes. Tip: ask them to do half banana/​half chocolate. The food here is good, but everything except the sandwiches are deep fried. Kinda like the Arby’s of burgers.
The prices are good, but I hate that there’s basically nowhere to sit.
