Stopped here on a whim. Didn't have high expectations, which was a good thing. The building itself could have used a good cleaning - so many dead bugs near the lights. Food tasted like the oil it was fried in. read more

my daughter and I had lunch two weeks ago. We had the fly lover meal for our food. They were a little busy so the staff member brought it out to us. I was kind of disappointed that they did not have any tea but other than that the store look clean from the outside and the inside looks fairly decent. read more

Ordered at 1am and the employees were super helpful. Food was very fast and delicious. Pleasantly surprised that the fries were just fried and very fresh. read more

Checkers - Exterior at Night - Burgers Near Me - Cheektowaga, New York

Two for five bucks was a great deal. My partner said it was a good, honest American chili dog and hamburger. I stole one bite of each and it was a good way to take the edge off my hunger. The fries were crispy, hot and I really enjoyed the spice they use, but the salt should be better controlled. We were 'walkup kitchen' customers. The service was great. read more

Wow, was I disappointed!!! I've seen the television add a couple times, for the Big Buford. The size of the sandwich that the man is holding is absolutely huge. Well I'm now convinced that he must have teeny tiny hands! I was very disappointed in the size of the Big Buford for the price. You can do better other places. The best thing about checkers is the french fries, hands down. I will say that the staff is always friendly and professional at this location. read more

food is always good especially the sea salt carmel milk shake! it's like crack in a cup so addicting.

staff was friendly, food was good and I wasn't waiting around !!! Looked clean inside and out, the employees answered my questions with confidence !!! Great job read more

the food is delicious, the people that work there are very understanding and nice. thank you

Stopped after a bills game cuz was the only place open. Order said was ready at 115am. I waited and waited and finally another customer knocked on glass. I said I think that's my order. Yep it was. It's now 138. It sat there for 25 minutes and 2 employees stood there and looked like they were talking about the 7 of us waiting. Then finally get the order home. It's not right. Not sure y my order was doubled and made wrong. Boy my dog ate good cuz 3 of us are allergic to mustard. read more

Today I had Checkers for the first time since I was a kid living in Florida and it wasn't bad! This location has an order/pick up window which I always delight in using as I feel like a caged animal 6 months out of the year here in Buffalo. My order was placed right away and my food came out in about 60 seconds. I ordered the Big Buford which is 2 patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, ketchup, mustard, and Mayo. It did not disappoint. Patties were a decent size and everything tasted fresh... albeit it is fast food not a gourmet burger. I did not order any fries or anything but the Big Buford filled me up on its own! read more

Checkers - The Big Buford (no pickle or tomato on mine) - Burgers Near Me - Cheektowaga, New York

Disgusting grease pit bag was saturated with grease it was dripping off Burger do not go it was very bad and a waste of money

As far as fast food burger joints go, it's one of my favorites for 3 reasons: seasoned burgers, purple onions and seasoned fries. There is a slight possibility that they sprinkle crack on the burgers, which would explain why I can't stop eating them. They have done their best to diversify their menu, so you can also get hot dogs, wings, a variety of shakes and drinks and other desserts. It's a drive up burger joint, so don't expect a gourmet burger, but when you need grease in your life, this is a place you can get it! read more

Fast and friendly service with a smile, you can order burgers, boneless wings, fries, funnel cake fries, Mozzarella sticks or the mother cruncher chicken sandwich, which was very tasty.The crispy fish sandwich is also very delicious, tender and crispy.Plus grab a ice cream cone or milkshake for dessert. read more

I'm upset that this place has been here for 2 years and I had no idea! Why has no one told me about the awesomeness that is Checkers? Hmph! Let me start here with a simple math equasion. Checkers is greater then McDonalds, Burger King and Red Robin. Not only in flavor and quality but also in affordability. For clarification, one can easily observe from the value menu that you can obtain 6 burgers for $9. These arent the rip off burgers you get from the dollar menu at say McDonalds, no. These are more like home on the grill picnic burgers that hit the spot just right. I'm talking about the, hand you the bag of food from the drive thru window and you feel a weight in the bag kind of burgers and this place is open LATE! Now I've eaten here twice in the last few days and I've explored a bit on the menu and mostly I have to say the Value menu above the main menu is where it's at. They also offer spicy chicken which is a very herb like, feel a burn in the belly after eating kinda chicken but its also quite good. It's different for sure. At first I was hesitant but you should try it and see for yourself. Def has a bite to it. Some day I will have to try one of thier sides and featured burgers, but I love the quick, affordable value options this place offers and I hope that option on the menu doesnt change. ALTHOUGH if anyone from corporate reads this, the value menu is hard to read from ones car. Could use larger print and a light shining on that sucker! Worthy of mentioning they are also currently offering a FREE Buford Burger if you Text "BUFORD to 88001" and there are other text deals pictured as you drive thru, so check that out! Solid 5 stars from me Checkers, keep it real my friends Keep it Real !!! read more

Checkers - Hours - Burgers Near Me - Cheektowaga, New York

People keep checking me out. I am so sick of it. Just because I do all this work to "keep this a 10" like Mayhem does when he's a hot girl out jogging. I call people that check me out "Checkers", and I wish I could afford to employ someone to keep them in "Check." Or even keep them in "Checkers" because then at least they could enjoy some yummy chain food while being kept in Check because of all their Checking-out of me. Anyway. What to order: Any of their chicken sandwiches, maybe a burger possibly, and def. a shake. What else: It's a chain, it's fast food, why are you even eating here anyway. So my back story with Checkers is similar to a back story told by a chiropractor. Only not. Speaking of chiropractors, if they're Egyptian, does that make them Cairopractors? Indeed, is an Egyptian farm vehicle a Cairotractor? Anyway. So when I was a teenager (literally), I was driving an old Pontiac Bonneville - and later a Ford Crown Victoria - around all sorts of southern states having orgasmic fun - sometimes literally - and when in Florida, I was always excited by the race-car-flags of Checkers. I ate a lot of fast food chain food back then, what can I say. I was an impressionable teenager or something. Checkers was always a wonderful little treat, and very exotic, as well as very cheap. You could get 2 burgers for a couple of dollars - one chicken, one beef, and also cheap drinks and shakes. Fast forward a decade (ish) and I was cruising through beautiful tropical exotic palm-tree-lined Cheektowaga (giggle) and what should I see, shining at me with red neon lights, like a beacon in the night... but a brothel. Oh no wait that was in the Nevada desert. So there I see, shining before me, a Checkers. I had to do a double take. Is this seriously a Checkers, I asked myself. In Buffalo? How did it get here from Florida? And why did it take so long? And are they even from Florida? I've seen them in Atlanta... but not this far north, ever. Starlight insisted that I do a U-turn and I always do what she says (and I always do what my gf says, as well, btw, even moreso), so I U-turned and went back and ordered some Checkers. To my delight, the menu hasn't changed drastically and neither have the prices. I got 2 pretty good sandwiches for $3 - one was a spicy fried chicken sandwich that I liked. One was a cheesy Cheddar Bacon Burger that I was very surprised to love, even more than the chicken, despite the fact that Checkers is usually best for Chicken. Great fast food sandwiches. In addition to this, I ordered a chocolate milkshake. They have baby size shakes for under $2, which is perfect for someone that does a lot of work in the gym as I mentioned in the first paragraph, so I got chocolate, and I loved every sip! Much better than a McDonalds shake, and probably better than a BK shake too, which are actually quite good. Maybe a little too sweet, but not as sweet as a BK shake. Also the girl in the drive thru loved Starlight, and got very squealy and girlie and gushy when she saw my little furry orange ball of love (I mean Starlight, silly). And I love it when girls get gushy, in all kinds of ways. So if you've never had a Checkers, come and Checkers it out. You might be surprised, because it is probably a better standard than the awful Wendy's and McDonald's that you're used to. It's nowhere near as good as NC's similar chain, Cook Out, not even close... but then very few places are. Nom nom nom. Check out the full adventures of Starlight at Checkers in the three pix I uploaded of her at this location. And enjoy this exotic, southern chain while we have it Buffalo! read more

So so horrid went at 2 when online said open to 3 and they said there were closed so I had to starve and now I'm anorexic and sad because checkers couldn't serve me and they answered the drive thru so so rudly and was screaming yelling telling us to gtfo and I was creaming yelling back like ehy I just want fries please stop read more

I don't always visit chains, but when I do, I try to keep a critical eye. The food here is great if you have an empty stomach. It's junk food but it tastes good, and that's all that matters for me. read more

A longggg wait in the drive thru, we were pleasantly surprised by the 1.00 ice cream cones. Strawberry, Vanilla and swirl! Very good deal and tasty treat! read more

Just fast food, but hey.. sometimes you gotta. This particular Checkers is excellent. The burgers are almost of Five Guys quality for much less. Also the fries that are cooked in the same oil as the funnel cake fries have that slight tinge of sugar left on the seasoned fries, giving you something that tastes like it's from the Erie county fair.. can't beat 'em! Everything is always hot, fresh, and crisp. Not to mention the employees at this location are very friendly, with great customer service read more

This Checker's location on Union Rd. in Cheektowaga is the best around! I live not even a 1/4 mile from the Depew location and I refuse to go there. I have given them 3 chances and each time the food and service was worse....Union Rd. employees are friendly & patient (takes me forever to pick something lol). The food is always fresh and hot unlike Transit Rd. Checkers. I got the Pot Roast Melt sandwich with bacon and it was delicious! And the daily deals are the best! I'd rather drive 15 minutes for great hot food than drive 1 min and get garbage. Keep up the good work Union Rd. Checkers!! read more

whoever was working headset at 6:30 was not professional what so ever. i had ordered my food asked for extra sauce and he made a bug deal about it and told me i never said that to him. he looked like he was on something, made me feel very uncomfortable. along with waiting in line i had to go up to the window outside bc they messed my order up and refused to speak to me. along with another person whos order they had messed up read more

I went to Checkers on Thursday night. I've had there food 3 times in my life, but the first 2 times, the food got cold from the time span it took my loved ones to bring it to me. I was on break and decided to go to there. I was happy to hear they were open until 2a.m. This is especially convenient for me when my break varies from 10:30pm - Midnight. I pulled on up and was stuck behind 3 other cars in the drive-thru. I get antsy on getting back to work on time, so I was getting irritated. No fault to checkers at all. Just bad timing I guess. BUT! The line moved fast, the gentleman asked what I wanted right away, gave me my total and I was at the first window all in under a minute. When I pulled to the 2nd window, the employees ALL looked severely unhappy! An unhappy staff means something is up with management. A smile definitely brightens up the mood and making me want to come back. I got my food and the meal seemed kind of small. I got a large and it seemed like a medium with the exception of the drink. I started eating my fries because everyone knows fries get cold fast. As I was eating them, I could taste the oil they cook them in. I appreciate it being fresh, I really do, but the taste of oil just ruined my apetite. I took a bite of my burger and it was delicious! I loved every bite of it. I wish there was more. I was still hungry, so I was forced to finish my fries. Checkers is good! And price is excellent to! The staff could be a little more friendly. If you're a person who can eat, a large meal will not fill you up. It's something that can get you buy. read more

Nothing like some slight late night food regret? Not that this was a bad meal, but once I was in line, I got more than I probably should have to try a variety, but I did it for all of you! I usually avoid chains and fast food, but since this is near me and it was late, I figured I'd try. They are open til 3am during the week and til 4am end of week/weekends. Not really certain why they are open at 9am, but who am I to judge? I pulled in at about 11:30 on Saturday evening. About 4 cars in the drive thru, but then I saw that there were actually two lanes. Not much signage to indicate this. Also to note, there is no indoor seating here, it is either drive thru, or walk up to their counter window. There are some metal tables around the building. If you want to sit out there in your snow suit in January, be my guest! I ended up ordering their basic small Checkerburger with cheese, a 5 piece of the garlic Parmesan wings, and a small strawberry milkshake. Total for $10. For the rest of the menu, there are are variety of beef burgers, fish sandwiches, chicken sandwiches/bites/strips, hot dogs with toppings, different variety of wings, seasoned fries, ice cream cones, sundaes, pies, and soft drinks. The burger I had was most similar to the Wendy's Jr. Cheeseburger as it came with red onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and ketchup/mayo. Under $2, it was pretty decent for a fast food burger, but was fairly cool in temperature once I made the short drive home. I was most suspicious of the wings, but they somewhat pleasantly surprised me. They didn't come with anything to dip them in, but the garlic parm flavor was fairly strong. They were pretty decently sized, and cooked until crispy. A little fattier skin than most wings you'd get in a traditional Buffalo pizza place, I would actually get these again. They were piping hot in their package even 5 minutes after I got home. They were like over $4.50 for 5 of them though which was a bit of a negative. The shake was just ok. More like a generic McD's one with artificial flavor. Meh. I am not a fan of seasoned fries, and they do not have a lot of other generic basic sides that aren't a huge meal in themselves besides that. Lots of variations in the burgers with bacon, cheese, multiple patties. They have combos of various sandwiches as well as "2 for $X" things, but these were just signs on top of lighted menu which I couldn't see. Drive thru was a little slow, seemed to be just one order holding it up, but it went quicker for the following cars. If I was in the need for quick fast food, I would probably come back here. For having a large menu, wings, and being late night. You could do a lot worse! read more

I have eaten at several Checkers and Sonic's all across the country, and I really like their food... I AM a fan. Their food is better than McDonald's -- especially in the value for price category. That said, if you go to this location, Triple check your receipt and order. 3 out of 5 visits so far have resulted in one or more things missing or wrong, and once being charged incorrectly. Another FAIL totally belongs to the Architect on the Project (Carmina, Wood, and Morris). Taking the Store Prototype from the South and just building it here in snow country is ill-advised at best. This is drive though only MOST of the year.... because metal outdoor seating just isn't compatible with Cold weather. This should have at least been suggested that there be SOME provision for the snowy climate this building would have to live in. read more

New restaurant in the Buffalo West Seneca area, I ordered the Roadhouse Bacon combo. My medium drink was missing 2 inches of soda and my take out bag had no napkins? The sandwich was very good and cheesy. Fries were awesome, hot and crispy. I would definitely go again but I'll check my stuff before I pull off. read more

Checkers - Burgers Near Me - Cheektowaga, New York

4 stars for the food (only downside is the fries are usually lukewarm!!!) 1 star for the service. Slow, slow, SLOW! If there's two cars ahead of you after you place your order, expect to still wait at least 10 minutes to receive your food. Haven't been here in the afternoon yet, maybe it's a little quicker during the day? I dunno. read more

Legit wanted to give this place a higher score because their food may be cheap, greasy garbage, but it's pretty good, absurdly cheap, they're open until 2 AM, and they make the local vicinity smell like fried dough. Then I went last night and came down with a nasty case of food poisoning. But eh, sometimes they give away free ice cream, so que sera sera. read more

Wow, the burgers are great, for fast food. Better than BK, Mickey D's.burgers were tasty not burnt, and only $1.00 special. Open late, late. I will return so, can't wait for the new one on elmwood in north buffalo. read more

I have been infatuated with checkers sense 06' in Atlanta. Their menu is diverse from burgers to hotdogs, wings, and funnel cakes. A wonderful place to go for the whole family. Their drive in style fast food is good for its intended purpose or to eat at a picnic adjacent to the restaurant. read more

It's missing its last star for no indoor seating and no bathrooms. But. I bet they can price the way they do because of it. This is now a family tradition after every Bandits game. The kids love all the options and we live it because it's fast and cheap. If you ask the other half he will tell you the Banana Split milkshake is the Bomb. Little guy will tell you it's the chili cheese fries I prefer the bacon burger on the Texas toast. None of its healthy but you only live once!!! read more

Checkers is the perfect place to go to satisfy those late night fast food cravings. You know what I'm talking about, when it's midnight you are craving greasy food. The best part about Checkers you can get a lot of food for your bucks. I bought a cheeseburger, fries, and a chicken bite box for under $8 and they give you a generous portion of food. read more

We live 5 min away and food was cold. I realize its not a 5 star but i think they need to make some chAnges if they want to compete with our amazing local restaurants. And really their classic cheeseburger was a cold shrunkin beef patty with a slice of cold cheese one pickle that could not have been sliced thinner if anyone tried and a dab of ketchup with stale bun? Tossed in trash & considered it a waste of time going there. read more

It's been about 4 years since I've visited a Checkers and I'm not to sure how I feel about what I ate tonight. I probably wouldn't have even thought of coming here if it wasn't for the coupons that arrived at my front door a few weeks ago. I decided to check out the Cheektowaga location tonight for some dinner since I was on my own and decided to eat food I totally shouldn't be eating. I'm giving the service 1 star due to the fact that the staff itself was the opposite of friendly. The gentleman handing me my food and taking my money opened the window, said "coupon" and then failed to say a single word to me or even tell me the total price of my order. The food (which is what mostly matters) is pretty much what I remember and what I remember is really mediocre fast food. The Big Buford was pretty good, but nothing more then the average fast food deluxe burger. I also got the $2 chicken box on the side just to try it (average chicken bites). Overall, the food was alright but nothing I would ever crave as a junk food snack. Maybe in 4 years I'll drive by a Checkers and give it another show, who knows? read more

Is it so friggin hard to include the sauce for the chicken strips? Especially when you asked for 2 and got none. Dumbasses.

I was really looking forward to Checkers opening near me, I'd heard good things. I have to tell you, I was disappointed. I expected the burgers to be bigger than they were. The food and drinks do not condone the prices. I probably won't go back. You get a much better burger at Sonic, and more worth the money, read more

Terrible service. Had a strand of hair in my cheese burger that was longer than 12inches long. Made me sick. Avoid this checkers.

I think I will stick to Burger King or McDonald's haven't been here since they first opened and I'm sure it was because of the customer service it's the worst!!! Now this place only has an walk up window or drive through so we(my daughter & I) decided to walk up OUR fault 1st reason: it was an cold windy fall nite. 2nd reason: apparently the staff here isn't big on this walk up window as it was about 7 workers inside no one acknowledged us for the longest time when they FINALLY did (the manager) took our order so hurriedly as if we were a bother or maybe he didn't want that cold air blowing in on him!! Any way we finally got our food as we counted 4 cars order and leave it was ok can't complain about dollar burgers but the fries were only Luke warm all the way for me, I live to far to drive all the way to Cheektowaga for crappy service and so-so food. read more

The service here is the worst. This could be because there is legit only one girl working. Both counter and the drive thru. Get it together checkers. read more
