Checkers

Can I just say how much I love the song «Linger» by the Cranberries?
Alright fun fact: back in high school, I brought my lunch every single day in those four glorious years, but ONE DAY (and one day only) I got lunch with Suraj and K-​Chod. We didn’t come to Checkers (we went to Chipotle). I never went out for lunch because I was scared that I wouldn’t get back in time for 5^th period, and I didn’t want to get in trouble for being late. I also liked to get to class early so I can get my notebook and pencil ready. You’ve got to sharpen those Ticonderogas!
We went to the Chipotle after the AP Biology exam. I thought that I finally deserved a reward for never going out.
But anyways, people would always come to this Checkers. I guess they ordered burgers and fries? Similarly to how I confuse Teen Wolf with the Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, Twilight, or Leslie with Lesley and Kim, I always confuse Checkers with Sonic.
First had Checkers a few months ago with some frail dudes, and I got the famous seasoned fries. Last week I got the Checkerburger with the garlic fries and mozzarella sticks. Be honest, who can actually spell mozzarella or am I just schmacked?
The regular seasoned fries and mozzarella sticks are each ⁴⁄₅. The garlic fries are egregiously wack, but then again I have stupid high expectations for garlic fries. Ever been to a San Francisco Giants baseball game? Ah you HAVE to go sometime and get the garlic fries. YAS GURL YAS
The Checkerburger makes me feel like shit because that’s what it’s supposed to do, but otherwise the taste is excellent.

Sadly, I’ve had it all here. Everything is great and the service is quick! The food is a little on the salty side for me. I’m addicted. Ironically I am both happy and sad because of this.

Had a prior issue during the evening but stopped by later on during the day and the manager made things right.
Good alternative to mcdonalds or burger king, so remember none of the food here is healthy but it’s tasty.

5 stars because it’s the only one around here. They have the BEST fries; they’re always fresh (side eyes the nearby Burger King). The milkshakes are reliably thick. They charge 10¢ for sauce (who still does that?) but once I paid for sauce with starbursts

The best burger I can ask for fast food. I go at least once a week. Season fries and a big double cheese burger.

I had their fries and they were good, the crowd at checkers seems like they are from another world all together it’s quite interesting
They are open till 2 on weekends and I have to say their food quality is much better than mc Donald’s and Burger King and competes with Wendy’s

I love Checkers, but this place has some major flaws. The biggest complaint, in which I just filed with their corporate and Montgomery County, is that they are falsely advertising the calories on their menu. All their chicken is way off. Also The chicken would have been warmer if I held it under my armpit for a minute. The parking lot it is in is extremely dangerous. I don’t kids scuffing up my car as the roll up my hood after running out in front of me.

Great burgers and excellent specials (2 cheeseburgers for 2 bucks, or buy one get one free’s). Fries are always fresh and delicious. Definitely not what you wanna eat 3 times a day, but Jesus Christ a Big Buford is f***ing amazing. Far better than any fast food competitor in my opinion.

Food:
Checkerburger w/​o cheese: eh, a lot of mayo, and mine didn’t have onions :(I usually get it without mayo and I think it tastes better that way (tastes more fresh). 1.5÷5 (would rate it 3.5÷5 based on precious orders without mayo and with onions).
Chili cheese fries: they were all right… Nothing special. Kind of soggy. The original plain fries are muchh better. ³⁄₅ (⁵⁄₅ for the original fries).
Funnel cake: a lot smaller than I imagined. Size of my small hand! (Palm of a larger hand). Came wrapped in burger foil — soggy on top, crispier on bottom, needed way more powdered sugar. ¹⁄₅
Stuffed Oreo cone: I’m not a huge fan of chocolate ice cream but I decided to get the swirl for the Oreos sakes. Chocolate flavor easily covers over any vanilla. A lot of ice cream on top and then an overwhelming amount of Oreo cookies once you hit the middle of the cone. I liked how the Oreo cookies were soaked in the ice cream though! I’ve gotten this before with just vanilla and I’ll probably do that next time too. 3.5÷5
Service:
– walk front — sometime you need to wait a minute while they get the drive through orders set but once they get your order, the food comes really quick.
– drive through — really quick
– they didn’t have knives so they offered to cut the burger for me. Yay

2 years ago I ordered a combo they forgot my fries so I called they told me I can come back and get a small fries I come back the day after some lady said sorry what was her name I was like dang I was suppose to ask the person yesterday for her name. So lady didn’t give me the fries so I just went home I came back again to checkers with my friend I told the guy at the cashier they forgot my fries last time I came here he said really? I ordered a combo and realized he gave me 50% discount off my order. I was. Very happy because I ordered a combo and they didn’t complete my meal last time. he was nice to give me a discount off my meal … I wish they was more checkers in this area sucks I barely come here since I live like more than 20 mins from there.

Food: always amazing and fresh. Love the dbl mushroom Swiss burger with fries. The sizes are also bigger than McDonald’s and Wendy’s.
Customer Service: it varies on the time of day. Sometimes there super friendly other times there in a rush.

It’s good to know that you can count on old friends. I hadn’t seen my best friend — the guy who was the best man at my wedding — for nearly a year. It was his birthday last week, and I happened to be at a snoozer of a networking event in DC. I called up a mutual friend and asked if he would pick me up at Shady Grove Metro if I decided to bail out and surprise my friend for his birthday. It worked out well and I had a blast with old friends at an old watering hole (Quincy’s in Gaithersburg) and my wife kindly obliged to pick me up and take me home.
Having had «several» adult beverages, the late-​night munchies were creeping in. But both nearby McDonald’s were closed, and I figured the best I could hope for was 7 – 11. But another old Gaithersburg friend had my back — Checkers.
Checkers is one of my guilty fast-​food pleasures. I must have eaten here 100+ times in the 7 years I lived in G’burg. After a night of hanging out with my G’burg peeps my liver thanks me for moving to Manassas, but two Double Mushroom Swiss burgers sure hits the spot for a nightcap. Checkers … thank you for being a friend.

I’ve always come to this checkers when I get my cravings. Today I decided to try the $ 2 shrimp box and like usual always fall for some of their «2 for» deals.
The food was typical and decent but what is causing me to give one star is that I asked for a cup of water. Response? «That’ll be $ 0.22». For tap water. I despise places that nickel and dime you. And for $ 0.22, you’ve lost a «sucker» customer who comes in looking for the $ 2 special and always ends up spending more than triple that.

I was thinking to myself «I bet no one writes reviews for a lame fast food place like checkers.» So I decided I should write one. But 23 other fatties beat me to it.
Ok, lets get down to business. Checkers fries are hands down the best damn fast food fries on this side of the milky way. Don’t believe me? I don’t care.
As for their burgers and stuff, its aite. I have noticed that the meat inside the burgers have gotten smaller over the years.
TLDR: wait for their coupons in the mail.

Let me start this by being as forthright as I can possibly be, but–
I HAVE NO BUSINESS EATING THIS STUFF!
But d*mn! If it isn’t good enough to slap somebody’s grandma-​I don’t know what is! If you are going to eat fast food whether it be sparingly or frequently, it should be as good and artery clogging as Checkers is.
The fries are the best in the business with their spicy, salty snap. The chicken sandwiches have no peer in the fast food business, and a banana milkshake? What?! Good as having a personal back-​scratcher on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
When my husband and I feel like committing a healthy-​lifestyle sin-​Checkers is our vice and supplier.

Not that good. Maybe I’m too old to eat this kind of food, or maybe 5-​Guys has ruined me for the food that once passed for good burgers. But this burger left me wanting to circle back and ask for something else.
The meat tasted like it was full of filler. Most of the menu options come with cheese and variations on typical burgers: mushrooms, BBQ, bacon, etc. I had to ask for no cheese specifically because that did not seem to be a standard option.
Now I see why: The meat so bland that it needs a lot of stuff on it to make it edible.

I am not normally a big fast food fan, although I admit I visit the places more than I should, however last night I made an impromptu visit to Checkers and was pleasantly surprised by their new burger, the Prime Rib sandwich.
Oh man, this baby’s got TASTE! I mean, I was probably really hungry and that affected my opinion of this thing, but it was certainly deeeeeeee-​licious! It’s got a good healthy portion of meat, nice and greasy bun that blends together nicely with the meat, and then the oh-​so-​flavorful caramelized onions that just puts it over the top! Man, just writing about this thing got me hungry. I’m about to run there for lunch as soon as I get these papers done!
YUMMY!
Count me as a Checkers fan as long as this thing is there!

FRIESSSSSSS! yum!
i think the burgers and everything else
are just okay. you need to get their fries!

I come here all the time because when I get off work its my exit to get home.
They always have pretty good deals, and usually I get a nice guy who helps me and allows me to use coupons on different transactions. Last week I got a indian guy who was very adament about not letting me use two coupons which was fine and I told him I would only use one coupon and cancel my other order. I drive up to pay and he gives me the total which was something like $ 10.60 and I told him I no longer wanted to get the Sandwich cause I couldn’t use the coupon. he rolls his eyes at me and takes the bag back and fixes the order for me, I was an idiot for not checking the bag there, I get home and find out theres no ketchup or napkins. Thanks.

I love Checkers fries, but this time, not so much. =/​2.5 stars.
Pulled up to the drive thru to order and the guy was rushing me to take my order. I ordered my meal, but had one more meal to order, and he order gave me my total. It’s like hello! I’m not done yet. Geezers, can we wait a minute?! It’s not like there were any cars behind me.
I got the spicy chicken sandwich meal. For about $ 6, I should have just ordered off their valu menu. My chicken sandwich was okay, nothing special. Just a piece of breaded chicken, lettuce, and lots of mayo on top of a seasame bun. Don’t get me wrong. I like mayo, but this was definitely too much. Spicy, definitely not. Also, you could tell that the fries weren’t fresh and were sitting in their bins for some time before I ordered them.
I know this is fast food, but next time, please don’t rush my ordering and I want my fries hot and fresh!
