    Big Buford
    Sylvie C.

    We had a sudden hankering for burgers, fries, and milk shakes last night so off we went to Checkers. I was going to place a web order ahead of time but decided against it due to their $4+ service charge. I can sorta understand the rationale for it if it's a delivery order but it wasn't. Anyhow, we placed an order of XL fries, chili dog, big buford, and 2 small milkshakes. The food tasted great even after waiting until we got home. The only somewhat unfortunate thing was how frozen the milkshake was. It made it impossible to suck it up and it was more like frozen custard. We ordered 1 chocolate and 1 vanilla shakes but both were vanilla. Oh well. Overall the service was quick and the food tasted ok. I think it's best we don't return until the next extreme cravings for Checkers. The last such event was more than half a decade ago. See you all again in maybe 7 years!

    I swerved to get here! Lol

    The guy who took my order was so sweet! I kept making jokes and he finally laughed at the end. He said "have a fantastic day!" I was going to go to Burger King u til I saw the checkers sign and crossed the street so fast lol I always check my burgers before I leave and there was no cheese in it. So they fixed it. They still get 5 stars bc I love checkers and they didn't mess up that badly lol

    Checkers is really just known for their outstanding big Buford and fries. They do that best. Anything else and you are gonna have a bad time. That being said, if you order the right items you can really enjoy this establishment.

    For a fast food chain that focuses on their speed of service this location is pretty slow. Today I went down the right lane and the employee told me their computer had crashed and I should swing back around and go down the left lane. Honestly if this was any other place I would've left but I go to Checkers so infrequently that I did as she said. The chili cheese dog (pictured) is a classic staple of fast food. Top that off with those unforgettable fries that are seasoned to perfection and you've got a great lunch for under $6. What I especially love about Checkers is their dipping sauces. If you ask for hot sauce they give you a cup of Frank's Red Hot. The BBQ sauce is also very similar to Wendy's. While the burgers are nothing to write home about I will give Checkers credit for constantly pushing the envelope.

    Never an issue!

    UPDATE: 5 After writing my review, I was contacted by Checkers employee Marta (Martha?) who invited me to swing by and allow her to make up for the experience I had. Well, she definitely met and exceeded my expectations in that regard. The slushie I received today was 1 billion times better than the last one. She threw in free fries as well. This is just yet ANOTHER reason why I CHECKERS. THANK YOU MARTA (MARTHA?), YOUR BOSS SHOULD BE PROUD!!! ORIGINAL POST BELOW: 3

    Can I say I love everything about this place except for the FRIES! (I think everyone has their own preference lol) But their fries taste like popeyes fries. They are too hard and super salty. Other then that? This place is poppin! I been coming here since my younger college years. lol They have the drive though and you can sit out and eat. (Watch out for the wasps though if you decide to eat outside, there are out there on a sunny day) The pricing is very affordable and they always mail out coupons too! If you live in the area. I got their fish sandwich and it was good. My kids got the basic cheese burger and they liked it. It comes with the works so make sure you tell them what you don't want on it before completing your order. My husband ordered the chili dogs, which he loves! This is definitely a spot you need to go to if you never been to a checkers chain before.

If…read moreyou're on the hunt for a great Smashed burger in Gaithersburg, look no further than Steeze Burger! What started as a pop-up by Hunter Karametos has now flourished into a brick-and-mortar, and it feels like Steeze Burger is just getting started. The concept is simple: burger, cheese, sauce, fries. But Steeze's take on it is what makes it special. The beef is local and specially curated by the owner, the signature Steeze sauce is unlike anything else, and even the fries feel thoughtfully chosen. Nothing is overcomplicated. It's just a simple concept done really well. The whole place has a super grassroots, super MoCo feel. Hunter's love of skateboarding is woven into the personality of the shop, from the skateboards on the walls to the logo and overall vibe. It may technically be a fast-food joint, but it definitely feels like an experience. We love supporting a family-owned business, especially one with such an interesting story behind it. They also keep things fun with frequent specials and creative menu additions while staying true to the simple burger-shop concept, which I love. Great food, great story, great local energy. Highly recommend Steeze Burger. Check us out at @flavors.club on instagram to get better highlights on this dine-in experience.

I had the smokehouse burger. I ordered it medium rare and it was served exactly how I ordered it. It was pink, moist, juicy and not over cooked. The burger was not a frozen or preformed patty. I could see the patty was hand formed. We were sat immediately at a table not far from the kitchen. Each of the dozen or so tables comfortably sits four people each. Our server was friendly, cheerful and attentive. There is a bar in the main dining area serving liquor and beer. In the back of the bar is a pool table and an outdoor patio also with a bar and several tables, offering a great way to eat and relax outside. There are two bathrooms, one inside the restaurant and the other is outside by the patio. The one by the patio is a little cleaner and better maintained. Burger prices are a little on the high side, averaging between $17.00. However, you are getting a superior burger. Street parking can be a bit of a challenge due to the restaurant being located in downtown Gettysburg. Parking is free on Saturdays and Sundays until 1 PM. This is a nice local pub to meet up with friends and family for a casual eating experience I recommend giving this joint a try. The qualitu of the burgers alone make it worth while.

Both came out medium well, no coleslaw, one invisible slice of cheese on each burger and white bread instead of rye on my patty melt. The grilled onions actually looked more like onion jam and the trays with black/white checkered paper this is served on looks like it's never seen a sponge or water. No, I can't recommend this place.

    MELT Gourmet Cheeseburgers must be operated by culinary lunatics. I mean that as the highest…read morepossible compliment. A normal person looks at a hamburger and asks, "Would you like cheese on that?" The people at MELT apparently look at one and ask, "How can we make this so extraordinary that customers begin questioning whether everything they previously called a burger was actually just meat occupying bread?" I ordered the Paris Burger: Premium beef char-grilled with roasted garlic, then topped with melted French Brie, balsamic-glazed onions, baby spinach, and a smear of Dijon mustard on a house-made bun. This ingredient list sounds less like a hamburger and more like several upscale appetizers became trapped in an elevator and decided to form a government. I do not know what kind of inspired nut job first assembled this combination, but everything contributes to everything else. The Brie, roasted garlic, sweet richness of the balsamic-glazed onions, spinach, and Dijon do not compete for attention; they cooperate with suspicious precision. The flavor is exquisite. This should not be placed in the same category as ordinary burgers unless the category is titled "Round Foods That Technically Contain Beef." And then there is the bun. Most hamburger buns eventually choose one of two career paths: Damp sponge or roofing material. This one rejected both. It was cooked to that nearly mythical point between soft and soggy, firm and crunchy. It supported the burger without collapsing, disintegrating, or scraping the roof of my mouth like an edible Brillo pad. Perfection. For a side, I ordered the sweet potato fries. They were already very good, which apparently was considered insufficient by the resident mad scientists. Someone had the completely unreasonable idea of serving them with marshmallow fluff. Marshmallow fluff. With sweet potato fries. This sounds like a suggestion made at 2:00 a.m. by someone who should have been politely escorted away from the kitchen. Instead, that person may be a genius. The combination is incredible. The salty sweet potato fries dipped in marshmallow fluff produced one of those moments when your brain objects on principle while your hand quietly reaches for another fry. This proves that not every insane idea is crazy; some merely require dipping sauce. I also had the Thin Mint shake, which was excellent except for the only legitimate complaint I could manufacture during the entire meal: It came with an ordinary straw. Every attempt to drink it became a small plumbing emergency when a piece of Thin Mint lodged in the opening. Sip, blockage, investigate, clear obstruction, repeat. I was not drinking a milkshake so much as performing routine maintenance on a delicious cookie pipeline. A proper milkshake straw would eliminate the one defect in an otherwise outstanding operation. This was not merely a good meal from a burger joint. It was a culinary experience disguised as casual food. The Paris Burger was phenomenal, the fries and marshmallow fluff were an act of benevolent madness, and even my complaint involves the shake containing too many actual pieces of Thin Mint to pass through standard beverage infrastructure. MELT is almost worth traveling to Virginia for by itself. If the people running this place are insane, nobody intervene. Whatever treatment would make them normal might ruin the menu.
