    Husband and his Cheese Chili Cheese Fries
    Rima K.

    I wish I caught the name of the gentleman working there in the blue polo he was so polite friendly and professional. He communicated the slush machine would need a few extra minutes to refresh itself and thoughtfully brought our food out. He asked if we wanted water while we waited for our drink which I thought was very kind. You don't often get such friendly positive service at fast food places and this was my first time trying a checkers on my trip to Buffalo so I really enjoyed my meal! I hope someone from there sees this positive review and gives him credit, he was average height slim Caucasian with earrings and brown hair and I wish I asked his name!

    Much less complicated then nearby chess, this place is pretty cool if you like fast food. I don't like fast food so I would no longer eat here.. but when I used to eat a lot of fast food Checkers was one of my favorites. The Chicken sandwiches and burgers are decent and cheap. In retrospect I'm not sure why because the food is pretty bland, but if you like fast food, try them. I think their milkshakes are okay but I shared one with a milkshake tasting friend and she said they are sickeningly disgusting and overly sweet. Then again so am I.

    Well butter my nut and call me a squash, but I found a fast food restaurant worthy of the fifth star. I've passed by this place dozens of times, only having stopped in once before for a mindblowingly creamy banana milkshake, but it was gorgeous outside, and we decided to make the leg tinglingly long trek to burn up an appetite for dinner. By the time we had arrived it was 8pm, and the front foor was blocked by a signboard. We were afraid they were closed earlier than their generous 2am shutdown. Luckily they were just redirecting traffic to the side door instead of through the handrailed front steps. We gawked at the menu, complete with reasonable prices and calorie counts. There was a paper copy, and signs posted for tempting deals like ice cream floats. We agreed to eat in, and the cashier gave us a table marker to designate our table for delivery, despite us being the only two opting to eat in (at no extra cost, as designated on the receipt). There were many employees about, with one seeming to juggle the drivethru and front register, which had a convenient screen to read your order for errors. Another had ran the food out to a customer's car in the lot. Guess not everyone is a fan of classical music and cool air flow. We had only waited a few minutes for the food, with our treats tailing almost immediately after. Despite the promptness, it didn't feel premade, as if everything was being made fresh. The fries were crunchy and peppery. My friend said they were definitely better than normal fries, so I tore a nibble off to try. I suggested that we get a bag of their retail frozen fries, but we both came to the conclusion that fresh outta the restaurant fries can't be beat. He flashed the inside of the burger to see it was made with the works: ketchup, mustard, pickles and cheese, before snapping it shut and taking a bite. He noted that it wasn't dry, nor greasy, just high end fast food at low end prices. His cherry slushie drink was not insanely sugary, which made it mildly refreshing. As we walked home in the summer heat it took a while to melt, as it was great at retaining its cold, no Thermos necessary. I personally had come to eat ice cream, because I am indeed a glutton, and opted for the strawberry cheesecake stacker. The cream was thick and tasted like it was named. I dug around it for the vanilla ice cream and strawberry syrup to have my spoon hit multiple bits of red gold, big chunks of real berries buried in the still crunchy graham cracker layers. Sure, the cup is petite, but it packs an appropriately sized punch without overwhelming you with enough cavities to make your dentist cry. I made a pit stop in the bathroom to wash my hands. The dryer feels like a mini tornado's worth of wind sucking your hands dry, and there is a changing table for all your diaper needs (or to put your bag on instead of the floor, even though it is really clean). At the bottom of the receipt there is a survey that'll earn you a free sandwich with the purchase of a drink. I would have done it and come back to try the double fish sandwich, but the trash had been disposed of in my absence. Not that I need a coupon to be convinced to come back.

    Nice atmosphere and clean! Came here because we saw it on undercover boss and we always wanted to try it. My daughter and I both got just the Checker burger with cheese because we wanted to split a large fully loaded fries. My husband got the big Buford. We needed his help in finishing the fries! they were delicious! My husband and I both ordered a banana shake my daughter had a blue raspberry slushy my husband said his burger was delicious. I think they're comparable with Burger King for taste my burger was really tasty too. All fresh ingredients lettuce tomatoes onions. Just the right amount of mayonnaise ketchup and mustard. They also delivered it to our table which I thought was really nice. By watching how they are treating other customers too- they are definitely very customer oriented. Will definitely come back!

    My husband says, "Not bad." Lol Aside from that glowing review, I have to say that the food is pretty darn good. Much closer to Five Guys burger quality than McDonalds. The double Checkerburger is 2 for $5 and a solid deal. Delicious and fresh. My husband opted for the fully loaded fries. They were a bit much for me, but the plain fries were FANTASTIC. They are nicely spiced, and heavy on the black pepper. The outside is perfectly crispy, and the inside is fluffy and soft. I would have to say the best take out fries I have had in a long time. The people were very friendly, even when I said that they should go to hell for selling funnel cakes year round. :^D They have a drive through if you are in a rush, and getting in and out of the parking lot is not too bad. Overall, a great, quick dinner.

    Stopped in here to get a sandwich for my dad, young gentleman at the register was very kind and talked me through the menu to better help me figure out which sandwich to get. He ensured my order was sizzling fresh and did it all with a smile! They do have a large menu, I recommend looking online before going there so you know what you want. Store was relatively clean and the other employees seemed pleasant as well. I didn't taste the food but my dad enjoyed it, and the customer service was excellent!

    Yep! Cravings have no curfew!

    I love Checkers. My husband and I just moved from San Diego, CA and we had Checkers there. We loved it there and are happy to have found one here! Apparently it's new, just in time for our arrival! I mean it's a greasy burger joint. So if you're into that, I think you'll like it! There seasoned fries and apple pies are amazing! Did that rhyme? I like the fish sandwich and my husband likes the Baconzilla. They have A LOT of deals! 4 items for $3 and sorts of other deals! They also have good milkshakes! They offer delivery on an app called ZUKAK. Try it out for yourself!

    This is one of my favorites so far on my summer beer discovery list. Super chill vibe. Dogs are…read moreallowed, so I got to pet several friendly dogs when I arrived, and that's a great way to start out an evening. The bartender is awesome and the other customers were great too. I ended up playing several funny rounds of ad-libs with strangers which totally made the evening. I felt welcomed and comfortable, like I immediately was one of the regulars even my first time there. The beer is great and they have a ton of options including stuff on tap and in cans. Look for the tv on the wall for the list of current beers on tap; it's on the far left side of the bar just above the large front windows. My curly fries and chicken strips were perfection - think of the best possible version of those things and that's what I got here. This came with sides of BBQ sauce, blue cheese dip, and ketchup. I greatly enjoyed my pumpkin ale and would happily drink this again. I appreciate that there are so many vegan options on the menu (not my thing but it's nice to have a place to bring vegan friends!). A surprising very cool thing was the restroom. There is great art all over the walls! Check it out even if you don't need to, you won't regret it. I sat at the bar; there is another room with tables and a pool table and I think I spotted some hidden booths in the back. There are also a few outdoor tables out front. Lighting is pretty dim so if you're going to read a book, choose your seat strategically. General volume is on the louder side. Parking is on the street. I saw that they do trivia on Monday nights; there are a ton of flyers for upcoming events in the front window. Overall this was a very easy place to give five stars to.

    I'm so happy they have vegan food, so I believe that everything here can be vegan, I was so excited…read morewhen I saw pretzels and vegan cheese but sad when they said they ran out so I'll be back for that. I got the vegan Mac n cheese and the chicken tenders with fries. Everything I got wasn't good, the breading on the 'chicken' was disappointing and tasted like old oil. The vegan blue cheese was good surprisingly cuz I don't care for the real thing at all. The fries were fine but the Mac n cheese had absolutely no flavor, my kids said to me that mine was better and they aren't that picky with food elsewhere unless it doesn't taste like anything. For that I'll still be back to try other things cuz I appreciate the effort in making vegan food for us vegans out there.
