I hadn't been to any Checkers in many years, this particular location was probably my last... I recall this location not being very impressive, but I used to love the one in Woodbridge. So, recently I stopped in here for lunch and got one of their "2 for" deals - I tried two of the Checkerburgers, with everything. I also noticed they have an extra large version of their fries and since I absolutely loved their fries, I got it. First off - Placing my order - Was Complicated! Why can't people who work drive-thrus in this country speak and understand fluent English? This is far from being anything offensive, it's honest - I had a tough time simply asking what comes on the burger. While the service was friendly enough, the language barrier was ridiculous and frankly, unacceptable. The food - The burgers appeared to be made with stale buns. They had that texture which is prevalent when they've been exposed to air too long. Could have been because I got there around 10:45AM for "lunch" but that's no excuse. They should NOT be serving from a patch of buns opened the day before. Either way, these buns were no good. The meat wasn't hot, it didn't even melt the cheese. I found this horribly disappointing, as it's the reason I no longer eat at McDonalds - they do this "warmer drawer" mess that keeps meat lukewarm, but not hot enough to melt the cheese. Well, it seems Checkers is also serving meat that isn't hot enough to melt cheese - unacceptable! Finally, the fries - They tasted like waffle cone! They had a sweet and odd back note to them, which isn't what I'm familiar with. I wonder if they were fried in the same vat as a dessert item they also make/serve? Either way, I tossed them out after eating about ¼ of the cup of them. I was so disappointed with this visit that it'll be another 8 years before I come back. read more

You're driving around Fredericksburg. It's late. You're stoned. You're hungry. What's a player supposed to do? Pull into Checkers. They have delicious food including Big Buford burgers, chicken sandwiches, and good fries. The double drive-thru means you don't ever have to wait long. Not many places around here are open late with good food. You can bring a woman here late at night for some impressively good late night food. It's a certain vibe. Five stars. Checkers along Route 3 is a legendary establishment. read more

Love the nostalgic look it has and the food came out fresh I got the 5pc tenders meal for only 10$ I did get the tenders wrong but had no problem getting the hot ones the works here are cool too and have a lot of options to choose from for a bang for your buck!! read more

Ordered online after work (also at a fast food/burger joint) and the woman, who I assume was the MOD, was extremely rude over the speaker. I was directed to the pick up line and then motioned to the window as the speaker was broken. I was rudely informed of that fact at the window. I was then told that the slushy I ordered was out. She didn't offer any type of substitute...in fact she stared at me and waited for me to ask her if there was anything I could get instead. I asked for a different flavor and she overfilled it so much that it spilled on my legs as we pulled out of the lot. She forgot all 8 of my sauces. Four of which were not complimentary with the meal, I paid extra for them. This is ridiculous. I work in food service, specifically with burgers and fries as well and I am a manager. I would NEVER let a customer leave with that experience. read more

I had placed an order through uber eats and it just got delivered. Once I got to the bottom i saw a piece of hair that's brown/black. I called the restaurant and the lady that answered the phone wasn't very pleasant. I told her the situation that happened and she said there's nothing she can do about it and they all are wearing hairnets and mistakes happen. read more

So no fries for me this go round (which they are known for) but definitely enjoyed my meal! My apologies on the picture quality (I was starving, lol) read more

10/25 7:45pm - This must be my week of bad reviews. But today Checkers reminded me why I don't do fast food establishments because the food is never as advertised and the service is poor. I went thru the drive thru at Checkers and ordered 3 sandwiches and asked the lady to ensure that they put enough lettuce on the sandwiches and not just a sprinkle. No mind you, I wasn't asking for extra cheese or bacon. Just a sufficient amount of lettuce. I arrive at the window and receive my food. Of course I open to inspect and there was barely enough lettuce to cover the 2 tablespoons of Mayo on the Big Buford, it looked like they provided me with 1/3 of a tomato . I ask the lady at the window if they could add additional lettuce to the sandwich....her response was this was the correct amount of lettuce for each sandwich. I said is that so, because my sandwich does not look like the pic. The response I received was this is portion control and we will have to charge you and additional $.20 for extra lettuce. I replied, I am not asking for extra lettuce just a sufficient amount to Match the sandwich like it does in the picture. She looked at me like I was speaking in another language . We'll just for that make of customer service I will take my request and additional $.20 somewhere else. And fast food establishment wonder why Chick Fil A is taking over, it's not always because of the food, customer service matters just as much. Thank you, but no thank you I will get my burgers else where read more

"It was good for days" says my driver. We detoured just for checkers and it delivered. Also can yourself an air fryer for your leftovers.

I love the food here, WHEN the decide to cook it all the way. Big if and when. Tonight I went out here, which is rare since I moved a 1/2hr away and got 2 orders of theor largest sized fries. Got them home, to find them only halfway filled! Seriously? These things cost too much money to be like a potatoe bag. They weren't cooked all the way (soggy) and weren't even close to the top! How cheap and lazy can you get? If you don't have enough fries, at least ask your customer to wait. Don't close up three bag so they won't notice till they're home and too tired to drive another 48 there and back! Never again read more

I attempted to order food for our very large family at the drive through tonight. Now I realize that fast food is not exactly going to guarantee decent service, but friendliness, patience and respect should be a given, regardless. As I proceeded to read off from the app the menu preferences and modifications requested by my crew, the associate, having trouble with her inputting for the order, was assisted by another employee, perhaps a manager; but I did not know. Again, I tried to give my order, and first I was told to tell what was wanted on the food, but that didn't please her; so now she wanted me to tell her what we didn't want. That frustrated her more. At some point, they managed to get the first part of our order. The manager (?) sighed heavily. I don't know what her problem was, why the employees are not able to do their job correctly, or what they were thinking, but I will not be treated like that; I easily spend over $100 in the drive through at any given time, so my patronage should be appreciated. I wound up going elsewhere with my business. This place is terrible. There are better options available with better treatment all around. read more

Simple order.....2 single champ meals with a sweet tea and vanilla shake. Friendly service and the food was fresh and tasted great! No complaints read more

Should be zero stars. Roaches in the bag. I can't believe it. Seriously man. I wasn't expecting amazing food but I was expecting food to be clean and pest free. To think peoples children eat here when they are in a rush and just need a quick bite. The extra value meal comes with roaches :) read more

On a lovely trip back from Ohio my boyfriend had the wonderful idea of finding the Checkers in Fredricksburg, Va as there are none in the Richmond, Va area. The Ralley's/ Checkers brand was prominent when I was growing up however they are pretty much gone now. It was lovely to drive up and see this last vestige of a fast food icon sitting in the middle of a shopping center. Honestly I was there for the fries! I remember loving the unique flavorful fries that were served at Checkers and I was not disappointed (the other food was pretty tasty as well). So if you have great memories of this brand and happen to be around...do yourself a favor and stop by! read more

2 years later and not a peep from corporate after my feedback to them. We have stopped eating here due to their nasty attitude and failure to honor the own coupons. read more

Closed before posted time, not much fast food open late at least update your hours if you're going to close early and ignore a customer. Have a nice day read more

One dipping sauce per car order is ridiculous "company policy". I'm trying to feed my family and all of us have to share one sauce! And I shouldn't have to repeat my order 5 times. Never again! read more

Their fries and their Baconzilla's are great, I get them every time I come here. Their waffle cones are great also if you're just looking for a snack. read more

Very rude and disrespectful old lady that works there. She just about threw my food in my car when she gave it to me, it shocked me so I forgot to ask for sauce. Parked went and asked for sauce and her disrespectful self was like "what do you want" I said I forgot honey mustard and she said "okay" got it I said "thank you have a nice day" and she said "yep" maybe you would have more business if people weren't so rude read more

I had 2 cars in front of me and I was just gonna stop by for a banana shake. Got told they'd be with me in just a few minutes. Waited 15 minutes and the person in front of the person had still not gotten their food. The person doing drive thru still hadn't talked with me. Not only was it just me but another person even backed out and left the drive thru. Terrible customer service. These workers don't know what they're doing. read more

When I first went to checkers I thought I hate it but then the person worker there was so nice and the sandwich that I got was amazing

The food here is okay, but the prices are a little high for fast food. It was nearly $20 for 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks & 2 cheesy fries. The cheesy fries are really good, and the sandwiches were decent too. The drive-through was pretty slow though, especially since we were the only customers. read more

For a fast food place they totally rock the food. Since it's fast food the burgers have a little grease and are slap yo momma juicy. I almost ordered a chicken sandwich cause it looked good but I needed my bacon double cheeseburger with bacon cheese fries. It was great and I only eat that once every few years.... I've had their hot dogs in the past and their fine. Maybe one day I'll try the shakes with a burger and fries and have a nice nap between their two drive thru lanes.... read more

Everytime I go to checkers the food is hot, fresh, and delicious! Mushroom Swiss burger for the win!

Everytime I stop by Checkers my food is always hot (made to order) and I can't forget delicious!! I tend to go for 2 chili dogs with everything on it. They somehow have got the recipe to the yummy old Hardee's dogs. They recently just added funnel cake to their menu....I'm in Heaven!! They're the only restaurant that I know that serves them out here regularly. Its always a pleasure stopping here the staff is polite and courteous. With my purchase todayd they threw in some coupons, so it looks like I will be stopping by here shortly again. 2 more chili dogs!! read more

Burgers are dry and flavorless. The workers were rude. The business was slow . If you're debating on where to go to find some good food , this place isnt it. Theres most likely better food in the dumpster out back. read more

These guys are really inconsistent. The food is always good, but the service varies from excellent to terrible. There's one guy there who apparently doesn't even know what they're serving - he repeatedly argues, and nastily, if you order one of their specials or new items (or basically anything that's not the standard combos), and if you get him you're almost guaranteed to never get straws for your drinks, any sauce for your nuggets, or possibly half your order. It seems like if you get anyone else, you're fine. More generally, they tend to be a bit slower than other drive-thrus. So, basically, go there for great food, but check your order and be prepared to wait a bit. read more

on the way to rappahanock camp grounds and needed some lunch before we set up our tents for the night. thought checkers...mmm that could be good. we ordered the chicken sandwich combo with fries and large iced tea, the 3 piece chicken tenders with honey mustard sauce and 2 apple pies. i ate a hot and crunchy chicken tender...tasted pretty good. then i went for the fries. it woudl have been good if they didn't fry the fries in the same old grease as the chicken or fish or whatever that left a bad aftertaste. bit a piece of pie and the pie was delish. about 20 minutes into eating one of the chicken tenders my stomach starting getting queasy. I was saving the latter 2 pieces for 10 minutes later. sent up the campsite and starting getting hungry again so i ate another piece of tender. 10 minutes later...a little bit more cramping. yup, i think it was the chicken tenders...problem salmonella or something else. i ended up giving the last piece to my dog. checkers need to stop being cheap and change their frying oil a little more often instead of using some coagulants to extend the life of their oil! read more

So rude! We got their fully loaded funnel cakes and the guy was super rude about it. They don't know the concept customer service! They should teach their employees some manners! read more

Waited 25 mins for wings, girl on the drive thru was wearing headphones while working, worst service ever
