Rest area food is always way more expensive then it should be and it also never tastes as good as…read moreit's stand alone counterpart.....why? Well, that's a mystery. I stopped at this Checkers on Friday night for a quick dinner while heading to Queens. I haven't been to a Checkers in well over a year so it was a little treat. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger combo with fries and got some mozzarella sticks as well because it's a 7 hour drive and wanted to feel shame the rest of the way. The food didn't take all that long to come out and before you know it we were back on the road. The burger itself was pretty average and didn't leave much of a lasting impression, it served its purpose though. I'm a fan of the checkers fries and those were up to par. The mozzarella sticks which were called "monsterella sticks" wet slightly larger then a French fry and tasted about as good as eating uncooked cheese wrapped in bread......basically they were pretty bad. I'm not sure where the term "monster" comes from in describing small and undercooked mozzarella sticks but these are not something I would ever want to try eating again. Plus side, they do have ordering screens which gives you the ability to scan the menu and pick and choose what you want. Overall, this is a pretty typical fast food place in a rest area. Expect to pay way more then you should for good and get lackluster service.

Maybe I like that you can get a mini one for $2. I have no idea. The shakes at this location didn't do it for me. The prices are higher than at other Checkers. In the old days we thought that stopping at Pembroke Rest Stop was one of the highlights of going to Rochester. A few Checkers burgers and shakes later, we have realized we were wrong. Once the staple fast food of our trips to Florida, Checkers has infiltrated WNY, and so be it, given they are open until 3am or something ridiculous. This location, though, is not. Service, food, prices all not so good. Stick to the non-thruway locations. And if you have an attitude, Checkers it at the door.

In fact it didn't seem like the sandwich for which the reviews had been written. They were rather busy with a dozen people waiting for their food. I ordered two crispy chicken sandwiches and they were ready in about twelve minutes, a bit longer than most fast food establishments. The sandwiches come in a foil pouch and were warm when I ate them. As I bit into the first sandwich it was difficult to avoid the spicy sauce dripping out as it was bathed in sauce. The sandwich was not at all crispy, was much more mushy. I would rate it a c- at best. It was very similar to the first sandwich I had tried some time ago, so it was the norm rather than a fluke. Needless to say I have no desire to ever have another.

Service was very friendly, both from two young women, then by a middle aged man. The store was immaculately clean. Easy entry from the Clay Road side.

My friend had the regular burger, and was jealous of mine. I liked that they served wine, that different, and they are discreet about it. Their wine comes in cans, so you don't stand out. It was a fast food environment but XL. Their staff very helpful and friendly. You can order at the register or at a kiosk. If you order wine at the kiosk you need to flag an employee to check your id, and they enter a code. So if you are opting for beer or wine, I would suggest just going to the counter. The place was spotless, wasn't too crowded for its location, and so didn't feel like the wait was long. After you order, you have a seat and they bring you the food. Next time I will try a shake.

The traditional was really good. I personally would've liked less gravy, but I think most people would've loved how much they gave. As for the bacon cheeseburger, I felt like the beef could've been more seasoned, but the bacon and cheese covered fries hit the spot.
