I had never been to a checkers before yesterday! My family and I were super hungry about to drive home from Buffalo and we spotted this fast food restaurant and decided to grab something quick here. I got a hotdog with ketchup and mustard and some of the Philly cheesesteak bites. I thought both my hotdog and the Philly cheesesteak bites were really delicious and I loved how there were so many different options at great prices! I tried some of my family's french fries as well, and I really like the seasoning on them. I would definitely come back here again if I need something quick or cheap! read more

If I lived near this place, I would come here every day. The food was absolutely amazing! Service was great, they were really nice. And it's shocking because my number one most favorite restaurant was Wendy's, and it's above that now! The workers at the speaker and at the window were really nice, and they got our order just like how my dad and I expected! Looking for a fast food restaurant to go to and want good food? Definitely come to this place for great service, great food, and nice workers! read more

I ask for beef patties for my burger and when they serve it to me it's sausage patties and it tastes really bad and the rest of the food is bad. The only thing good is the fries and that's it please stop giving me sausage patties when I ask for beef read more

When they came outside to give us our order they made sure it was accurate. When it wasn't he took it back and came back with the correct order. Many other places just give you your food but this guy made sure the order was correct. Food was made fresh and very good. Thank you! Great experience read more

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! read more

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. read more

Checkers - Monopoly, 21, Checkers and Chess - Fast Food Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

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. read more

Amazing food and customer service. For cheap eats it's a 10/10. The best deal is the 5 for 5 which comes with crispy fries, a chicken sandwich or burger, chicken bites, a drink and apple pie. read more

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! read more

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. read more

There is something to be said for consistency. With checkers I know what I am going to get each time. And I'm never disappointed. Is it the best burger? No. Are they they best fries? No. But they are good and they are always good. Sometimes it's better to get an 8 every time. Rather than a 10 and then a 5. Also the staff is super courteous and friendly. read more

A few of these fast food restaurants have popped up in buffalo over the years and I was finally in a fast food mood to try it. Overall it wasn't that impressive, other fast food places have better food around here. I think it was a little more pricey than others too. I got the chicken nuggets and loaded fries. The hot sauce They give us franks so that's a bonus. read more

This location is amazing!! Very clean building. Every single person I've encountered working here has had exceptional service and go above and beyond for their customers. The food has always been hot & fresh, and delicious. I 10/10 recommend coming to this location! read more

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! read more

Checkers - Fast Food Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

One night my wife and I wanted something different, so we figured we would give Checkers a try. Now, the main draw for me are the fries. The crispness and seasoning are the perfect combination. So let's put those fries on a burger, and consider my mind blown. The restaurant is a decent size, the employees are very helpful and patient while you make up your mind. This night was a 2 for $4 fry burger, large fry and a lemon ice to drink. Everything is made to order and is done well. The food has never been a letdown, and really hits the spot. Tre lemon ice drink was tasty, had a slight tartness which was great. All in all I recommend giving them a try if you want a quick meal, but believe me you have to get some fries they are fantastic! read more

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! read more

Checkers - Yep! Cravings have no curfew! - Fast Food Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

This place is open late (1am +) and they know how to make a burger! I ordered the 2 for $4. I wanted the spicy chicken and a regular burger. I guess they were out of the chicken because they upgraded it to a Baconzilla! Holy smokes was this thing amazing! Way more meat then any human needs at once, this burger blew my mind ! The fries were seasoned nicely and they were fresh, as in they were just made fresh. The way they deep fry them has a taste that reminded me of fried dough at the fair. Super good and my dog loved them too from the back seat. ;) The wait in the drive through was a bit longer then say crappy McDonalds, but thats because they are actually crafting real food inside. I highly recommend you check this place out if you never have. A+ read more

Up until recently, there has not been a Checker's in my area! A few days ago we spotted it on Niagara Falls Blvd- and we knew we had to check it out! It was a great place! I got the Checker Burger with cheese, and it was actually really good- it was in the same area of quality as a Five Guys burger (which was wonderful, because I can't eat McDonald's or sonic's burgers because they make my stomach upset!) They have a really diverse menu- cheeseburgers, hotdogs, fries (loaded or plain), milkshakes- and even WINGS!! It was also pretty inexpensive- we ended up paying less than we would at Five Guys but still the same quantity of food! Also unlike McDonald's it's super fresh!! Tip though- online it says a CheckerBurger with cheese has lettuce tomato and onion, but doesn't specify that it also has ketchup, mustard, mayo and pickles!! Lol it tasted pretty good with all the stuff in it- and I normally don't like mustard mayo OR ketchup on a burger! Though if you don't like that make sure to specify!! read more

Checkers - Checkers menu - Fast Food Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

stay away!!! We stopped in because we were looking for hamburgers and extremely hungry. Well the place was filthy for starters. When we ordered our food we couldn't get a receipt because they were out of paper. Then when I was handed my cup for a drink I noticed a small black speck of something in the bottom. When I gave it to the shift manager, she says what's wrong? Really need to explain? so when our food arrived my cheeseburger had an odd taste and I returned to the counter and the same lady came over and told her that my burger tasted funny. She says what do you mean? I told her it tasted odd and I wanted another one. wow! I could not believe the horrible customer service. read more

Ridiculous! The staffs told us our foods were picked up by another person after we just placed an mobile order a couple minutes ago. They had us call the customer service for refund and said "NOTHING we can do about it." It's funny how your restaurant named "checkers" and not checking your customers orders when you give them the food. read more

Went here for the first and probably last time this afternoon while looking for a quick lunch. I ordered a number one combo, something called a Big Buford. The only thing you need to know about this burger is that it's essentially a double cheese burger with no ketchup and an almost practical joke like amount of mayo and mustard. Seriously, it was dripping off the burger by end, ruined my meal entirely. Fries weren't that great either. The meals come with seasoned fries but I felt like the seasoning was pretty bland. Overall this is a pass. You can get better food for less money from practically any other fast food spot. read more

I went there for the first time since they had $.69 cheeseburger day so I thought why not! Well I have to say I really was not impressed. I'm sure they must have other things that maybe are better but I will not be in a hurry to go back. read more

Had a GH pickup here . Walked in 2 people ahead of me waiting at counter . Waited 9 minutes before they received their food (they had already ordered it when I walked in) . 4 more minutes before the (we will call him an employee) asked to help me. He had no name tag no hat wearing a Nike hoodie . 5 total employees working at this time . 2 employees had no hat and 3 were wearing a hoodie . This crew had no hussle , no sense of urgency, no emotion . (Looked like a bunch of zombies in a graveyard) . I tell them I have a GH pickup . Give them the name and waited 8 more minutes before they gave me the 1 combo order . They were more worried about the drive thru ! Cars pulled up AFTER I walked in and that's what they were more worried about . I've run restaurants for 30 years and this might be the worst I've seen . read more

This is our first experience at Checkers in the states. The menu is very interesting with the amount of combinations you could put together from their menu. As a Canadian visitor, I am astounded at the amount of variety of fried foods you can throw in an ensemble for a couple of dollars. The food was nothing extraordinary, but the apple pie was definitely something I would not be ordering again in the future. read more

I'm only giving two stars on the burgers and fries, I haven't tried anything else. The burgers were dry and only warm. Service was slow. The fries are not very good. The Banana milk shake was good. read more

For a fast food restaurant I really love this checkers. You seriously cannot beat all the food deals they have going on basically every day. You can easily fill up on $4 even with a big appetite. Not to mention the seasoned fries are AMAZING. They are ever so spicy, deep fried with a little crisp, and definitely addictive. Trust me when I say get the Large. Oh and the drive thru is always pretty quick. But it's a for reach from the car to the window if you've got short arms like me! read more

First of all, I love the food. It's filling and taste...what more can you ask for from a fast food place right!? The staff there must be specifically trained or whoever does the hiring has a good eye for people gifted with natural customer service skills because they are always very friendly....you ever been to a Wendy's or McDonald's where they barely make any eye contact, or worse, are holding an inappropriate conversation and just hand out food? Never once have I received anything but eye contact, a smile, a greeting and a "thank you, have a nice day". How about an incorrect order? Not once have they made a mistake...which is impressive. So why only 4 stars...well, something is goofy with the prices. I went through a stretch with going there every day for lunch for a week. Some days my order would cost less, and others more. What? I don't understand what that's about and my wife noticed this as well. More recently the prices have gone up twice...while I love the food I feel like they have gone past the cost vs value line for me. I strongly debated giving 3 stars(would have been my first one) but my wife insisted that they get 4 because of how much this place accels in the other catagories. Week long sales, more signage out front so drivers know what's up, lower prices a little, keep doing everything else exactly the same! read more

In general, I like their food. Burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries.... all just fine. At least as enjoyable (and often more so) than their equivalent from other fastfood. But do not, under any circumstances, order the boneless wings. I bought some tonight just to try them, and they were vile. Of the 20 I got, about 12 were more gristle and tissue than meat. They were almost entirely inedible. It was, by far, the most disgusting purchase I have ever made, in fast food, and those are words I had not thought I would right about Checkers. Look, I plan to go back. The fries are great. The Checkerburger is something I genuinely enjoy and is my ideal quick, easy fast food burger. The chicken bites are tasty and a good snack for a picky kid (and entirely different than their boneless wings, so I would be willing to buy them again). But I am severely disappointed in the obscenely low quality of the boneless wings. read more

Went through the drive thru to be told to pull up they will bring out the food. 12 minutes later a girl runs out taps on the window and runs back in. Not even a thank you for waiting... after checking to make sure it's all there food is missing. How hard is it? read more

I used to love this place, but the catch is all the good menu items end up disappearing - they're limited time only! I don't get that, why take away the good stuff? The cheesy shrimp box was by far my favorite thing on the menu. Every once in awhile I still go back, but just be careful when you go. If it's past midnight, don't even bother. The employees will make it oh so clear that they are put out by your presence and will screw up your order. read more

My favorite fast food place, next to Wendy's I suppose. I love the big chicken sandwich. One time, a girl (Elmwood location) asked me if I wanted to get 2 sandwiches for $4, only 30 cents more and I just about cried. Granted, this was before prices went up by a dollar but the food is great for the price. I've never had bad service at any Checkers restaurant. My boyfriend and I love going to this one though, because it's so close to the apartment. read more
