Checkers

I wanted to late night snack and I drove into the left drive through lane. FYI, one left side, one right side. Tried to order on the left side. Voice on intercom asked me to go to other side. Well, by the time she asked me there were two cars in the right side. I don’t want to order from the right side. Close the lane next time. Took them FOREVER to service the two cars that went right, so I was upset having to wait and back-​up into traffic to exit the drive through.
I’m trying not to leave negative reviews this year so I decided to leave constructive criticism.
Manager, do not have your employees as the customer to reverse out of a drive through lane because they did not want to reach across when I was planing to sit in the passenger seat when I pulled up.

Food was horrible!
I love the Rallys that we have back in Los Angeles, so when I came across Checkers I was excited.
Total disappointment. The burger tasted like a bad version of Burger Kings whopper. The fries were waaaayyyy too salty and my chili dog smelled like something I would feed to my dog.
Never again…

I have coupons, the food is hot and cheap. Can’t complain i guess. Just don’t eat fast food everyday! Oh and have coupons. I said that already. LOL

Before you leave the drive through you must open every item up and make sure they gave you the correct items. Every time they have forget to put cheese on there cheese burgers. There store is on the worst corner so you have to make 3 – 4 u turns to get in and out of this place. Also expect to wait 20 – 30 min for your food.

Zeroooo star for this business. After watching the video on you tube of the BLACK girl throwing the bun on the floor, rubbing it in and then preparing to complete the order. This is truly something a black person would do, it show their level of intelligence and it rings throughout their entire race. They’ll spit on your food at drive through without having one inkling it was done. Never, never, never eat at any of the Checkers here in Las Vegas, can’t trust these workers. They won’t fire the bad ones.

What can I say about this place. I can’t say anything good about this place that’s for sure. I read the reviews on Unilocal before going here. Talked about going to checkers for a while before actually going. You would think that since the place seems to always be busy when I’ve driven by you would assume it’s good one would think right .
I went tonight June 28^th 2015 to try checkers went there with a open mind. I figured it might be good or it might be not the greatest boy was I wrong this place is garbage. I ordered the bacon burger and got some cheese burger that had way to much mayo for even the above average mayo lover. There fries are nasty and tasted like they weren’t cooked all the way. decided to try a shake and that tastes as if they just dumped soft serve ice cream into a cup. I will not be returning and will tell others to never go to this garbage place of a fast food joint. If I could I would rate this place a –5 stars.

Worst experience and customer service EVER. Ordered two strawberry cheesecake stackers, went to pay and the rude fat cashier didn’t say a word handed me my change and still didn’t say a word. He went to hand me my first stacker and I said, «Can I please have a holder so they don’t fall in my car?»
He still had not said a word and put them in the so call holder and handed them to me and one fell on the floor in my car to my luck. He noticed and still didn’t say anything as he literally slammed the window closed. I called and told the manager about my experience and she said, «I’ll talk to him.»
That place needs some serious customer service training. I will NEVER be back. I would advise anyone to stay clear from this disgusting neighborhood fast food chain. I say good day sir!!!

This place is disgusting! I have had better food at a gas station! Service is terrible. It takes them forever to take an order and get the order out. The cashier spoke broken English, um you work at an American food place speak English!!!
Ok second, how does this place pass health inspections? The table have bird shit all over them and you have to bag them to get the employees to wipe the tables down. When they finally do, it’s with a hardly damp cloth. No sanitized chemicals, nope just water! DISGUSTING!!!
Third is the food. The loaded bacon fries were ok and so was the chicken bites kids meal, other than that we should have went to Wendy’s. I would have taken McDonalds over this crap. I got a spicy chicken and not spicy at all and the meat was fatty. Processed chicken is very gross and I ended up throwing it away, goodby $ 7! My husband got a double bacon burger and he hated it.
My 10 year old said he would never eat here again but my 2 year old liked what he got. Another thing, don’t bring your family here to eat outside unless you like seeing all the hookers walk around and try to pick up their next job. Where is VICE when you need them!
Avoid this establishment

It’s fast food, so it’s definitely not good for you– but the fries here are like crack. Eating them is a cheap habit you hide from your friends and family but you just. can’t. stop.
Thankfully, I live nowhere near this location (or any others) — service here is surprisingly friendly but Jesus Christ, they need to lower the volume on the drive-​up window. I’m pretty sure you can hear everything being said an entire block away.
Chicken sliders are tasty– prefer the buffalo to the homestyle version. Their wings have several sauces and rival those at more popular wing chains, plus better fries. If the regular fries aren’t enough of a health crime for you, they’re also available topped with cheese, chili, bacon, and ranch, or any combination thereof. So far, I’ve successfully resisted.
TLDR: fries. fries. fries.

This Checkers is located on the corner of Deseret inn and Boulder Highway. It has that old school feel of an old diner except you cannot go inside to eat. I’ve been here several times of the years and it’s just ok to me. It’s not the first place I’ll go to when I want to grab a burger and fries. One thing I don’t like about the location is the drive thru. It’s not suitable for longer vehicles and I always rub my tires against the curb when I’m trying to exit the joint. Besides that I always get coupons in the mail for checkers but I still prefer the more established burger places because I know what Im getting. Checkers just doesn’t leave too much of an impression with me.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this fast food joint. Love it because nearly everything tastes so damn good. Hate it because EVERYTHING is so damn bad for you!
Their french fries really are the winner here. They’re amazing as long as they’re served hot and fresh. They don’t make for a very good save for later and nuke’em option, so don’t bother.
The large drinks are actually LARGE compared to other fast food places. The outdoor sitting is decent, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you don’t mind inhaling vehicle exhaust along with your meal since the location is pressed up against two extremely busy cross streets — Boulder and DI/​Lamb.
The only thing I’d stay away from is the chicken bites. Although tasty, every time I ordered them there’d be a gnarly piece of fatty chicken in the bunch. ya know, the kind you really can’t chew and ya either swallow it or just spit it out into a napkin. ugh, makes my toes curl when biting into something like that for some reason. So, not the best quality of chicken (or whatever they’re made from nowadays).

I love their cheap burgers and delicious fries. When I first moved here, I was sad and lost, fearlful I would never have a tasty burger again, fearful that all Las Vegas had to offer besides standard burgers was that disgusting In&Out. Seriously, people LIKE that crap? Luckily, I found out while driving to visit friends that there is one on the other side of town. I am sad to admit that when they ask me to come visit, I think, oh, an excuse to go to checkers! Yay! And then, you wait… forever… to get that tasty burger and fries. I think they might actually be butchering the damn cow, they take so long.
Still tasty, though!

Checkers a/​k/​a Rallys should be memorable to people like me who were born and raised in the south.
You may also recall Big Boi, from the hip-​hop duo Outkast, rapping about Rallys in the third verse of the Outkast song «Elevators (Me and You)» when he says «Back in the day when I was younger, hunger. Lookin to fill me belly with that Rally’s, bullish! t, pull sh! t off like it was supposed to be pulled»…
Checkers/​Rallys is much like In-​N-​Out burger without an inside to dine in. It is drive thru only. But they have some of the best burgers IMO. Their fries are hit or miss though.
If you want a good burger, here are my top (s):
1. Butcher Block — They make their own 100% beef patties with signature BBQ sauce. You have to take it home and cook it yourself, but these were the bet burgers I’ve ever had. Top it off with some cheddar cheese. HUGE patties… not too big, not too small
2. Cheeburger Cheeburger — Huge burgers in different size. I don’t care too much for the buns because I feel they are too big. Tons of toppings and OTHER great foods to go with it
3. Checkers/​Rallys — love that taste and it brings back memories. My only problem is that there is only one of these places and it’s all the way across town in tweakerville (a/​k/​a Boulder Hwy.)
4. In-​n-​out burger — better than fast food like McDonald’s or Burger King… but nothing to write home about
If I’m ever on Boulder Hwy., which is super rare, I will always stop by Checkers/​Rallys

All American Burger for my friend on our way home. She has never had Checkers and I asked her what is your review? «The fries are yummy» another happy eater!

Rally’s… Checker’s… It’s all the same. And it’s good. I had a all beef chili cheese dog with onions and it was good. I ate a Cheese Champ that was a single burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and ketchup and it was damn good especially for the price. I have been before this last time and had mozzarella sticks that are good as hell for a fast food place. I have also had a burger that had jalapenos and they weren’t shy with them so I liked it a lot. They have a walk up window and a double drive thru. The drive thru speaker on the left has window service on the passenger side and the speaker on the right has window service at the drivers window.

Man, every time I get food from here, I have mixed feelings. Kind of like a guilty pleasure, a cheap thrill, or eating a forbidden fruit. Yes, I went biblical there. These guys should be called «Greasers» instead. Every thing on the menu is FRIED.
I know I shouldn’t be eating here but the word «Baconzilla» cannot be ignored. Imagine a huge piece of bacon the size of the Empire State Building walking around terrorizing people. Ok, maybe im the only one imagining that. Anyways, here you have two choices of their Baconzilla. One is their cheeseburger and the other is a big serving of their patented fries loaded with nacho cheese, barbeque sauce, tons of bacon bits, and two strips of bacon. I kid you not, after trying to eat the Baonzilla Fries, I could not bring myself to eat the two strips of bacon for I had a lot of bacon flavor already with all the bacon bits they drowned the fries with.
The prices here are really good. You get a lot of greasy goodness for not a lot of money. They have specials all the time. What I got was the Chicken Strip meal for 2 bucks. Comes with two chicken strips and fries. Not a bad deal. I paired that with the Baconzilla Fries for 2.99 so for 5 bucks and some change, I had a pretty good lunch.
Service is ok. Since they are open 24 hours, you will always get different employees with different issues. You will have different experiences here ranging from good, bad, to plain just awful. Don’t expect a lot from a chain that is open 24 hours that is located in a sketchy part of town especially at night.
Speaking of their location, they are located on the southwest corner of Desert Inn Road and Boulder Highway. Since Boulder Highway is a busy street with a bunch of casinos just a mile or two down the road, you are guaranteed to have different «Characters» hanging out here. Peeps from prostitutes, pimps, drug addicts, drug dealers and homeless people to drunks, hitchhikers, joggers, students, and the occasional out of town vacationer because all the good places are closed already. Keep in mind that most weird activities happen as soon as the sun goes down and multiplies even more from midnight to 4 am. Like my momma always said, nothing good ever happens between 12 and 4 am.
As for the layout of the place, you have two drive through entrances which is why you would think would give you really fast service. Umm… no. In reality, it slows everything down because when you have both drive thrus occupied, they don’t have a full crew at each station. Instead, they take turns processing orders. What I think is dumb is that if you go in the left drive thru, the cashier will be on your right side so if you are by yourself, you have to reach across to pay and get your order. It’s even harder if you don’t have power windows.
So for those that have munchies and want some greasy goodness at no matter what time of the day, this is the place to go. Just make sure your head is on a swivel if you come here at night. For those that are from Southern California, they have this there as well but they go by the name of Rally’s. For the longest time, this was the only location in Vegas. Now they just opened up another one off of Rancho Drive.
Unilocal 2014 365 Review Challenge #71

I have eaten here a few times now and am surprised at how much I like it. I’m not a burger person, so I can’t comment on that. The last two times I have ordered the «BLT» priced at $ 1.49 and can’t believe how good it is for a fast food place. They aren’t shy on the bacon and it tastes good. I also had a small order of their «Famous Seasoned Fries» priced at $ 1.69 and found them to be a bit crunchy and overcooked. Priced at 2 for a $ 1 the «Cinnamon Apple Pie» I had for dessert was a nice finishing touch. The employees here are friendly and they have a dual drive-​thru. Even though the fries could use some work, fans of Checkers and Rally’s shouldn’t be disappointed with the cheap prices and food put out here.

My greasy, guilty pleasure.
I really like the look of this drive-​thru. There’s 2 lanes, but rarely do I ever see the other one opened. You can sit outside and enjoy your meal if the weather permits.
My favorite order here is their double bacon cheeseburger. YOU MUST ORDER THEIR SEASONED FRIES. They are amazing! Their fully loaded fries are equally enjoyable as well.
I’m only rating this place a 3 due to my most recent visit. The ranch was extremely oily =(I couldn’t enjoy my meal how I usually do because of this.
Overall, this isn’t a bad place to grab lunch or dinner at.

I went to Checkers for lunch on Sunday, during a dance workshop I was attending.
It was a standard fast food experience.
The fries were awesome, and the cheeseburger was tasty.
Oh, they put cheese on a burger that I requested WITHOUT cheese for my lactose intolerant friend, so that bit kind of sucked. I really had to dock a star for that… poor guy was miserable. :(

Awww Checkers, I’m so glad I found you again after so many years! I grew up with you but then moved to Vegas and thought we would never see each other again. Oh happy day because you have now opened a place in town, so our romance can continue!
So, it has been about 20 years since I had Checkers/Rally’s. I remember them being the best burgers and fries in the world. I was so excited to grab some food here and relive my childhood with my family. The Baconzilla Burger was tasty, the fried chicken sandwich was like every other fried chicken sandwich at fast food places, and the fish sandwich was in the same boat as the chicken. The fries are still pretty tasty being covered in all sorts of seasoning and fried to be on the crispy side. The food wasn’t as fantastic as I remember it, but it was still pretty tasty. The milk shakes are quite yummy here too. They even have banana milk shakes, which you don’t see often.
The only negative here are the serving sizes on the fries. The small order of fries looked like it should belong in the kid’s meal not the adult meal. So if you are hungry, go for a bigger size otherwise you will still be hungry afterwards. The drinks and the sandwiches all seem on par with other comparable places.
The prices all seem a tad on the high side for what you get. They aren’t outrageous, but more than what you will spend at McDs or BK or the like, on a similar meal deal.
This particular location is on a really busy corner, so you have to be careful getting in and out of the place, since everyone drives like maniacs in this area. It can also take a bit to get out of the parking lot onto the main street again due to the high volume of traffic. This is not a good place if you are crunched for time.
As for the seating, it is outdoor only, so keep that in mind if you plan on going in the middle of July. Also with it being on a busy street corner, it is loud sitting outside due to the traffic sounds.
So yes, Checkers is a yummy fast food joint for good burgers. The fries are tasty, but order a bigger size than normal for yourself. And lastly, give yourself some extra time since everything is on the slow side.
