    a box of cheeseburgers and fries
    Alicia G.

    Not terrible, not fantastic. We went because we had a coupon for a free mother cruncher, which we weren't able to use. They did compensate us with a free ice cream though. The fries were tasty as always. I was really excited about the chili cheese fries, but they weren't as impressive as I remembered. The chili tasted over cooked and dried up. I ordered the cheese champ, this was the first time I got a burger from checkers- I usually get the hot dog. I probably won't get the burger again. I've always said checkers is good for after you've been drinking.

    a receipt for a restaurant

    I used to eat there in the late 1990s and moved away. It was really good. So I went there tonight after moving away 20 years ago and it had to be the worst hamburger I ever had. It had a funny smell to it and tasted really bad. I threw it out and ate the cold french fries. I wanted a milkshake but they had none you'd think they would of given me a free soda. I should of went to McDonald's and Will if I get the craving for a hamburger at 2:00 AM.

    a street at night with cars parked on the side of the road

    Line hasn't moved for over an hour. This is nearly every night and it's literally always before closing. Update: after making us wait all that time they told one of the vehicles ahead of us they were the last vehicle to be allowed an order. They didn't tell anyone else and just left the rest of us in the clueless the costumer had to leave there vehicles out of kindness and let everyone else know they wouldn't be taking the rest of our orders. Very disappointed and won't be coming here anymore. Don't recommend the night crew

    Friendly staff, pretty decent. I'm thinking the rating and food quality are really dependent on the staff at the time.

    I've been waiting in line for 27 minutes now. I'm not sure what the hold up is, but this is absolutely ridiculous.

    I've been waiting in line for 27 minutes now. I'm not sure what the hold up is, but it's absolutely ridiculous. Then, when I get to the window, the employee has a TERRIBLE attitude with me and then gives me the food and doesn't say anything whatsoever. The whole staff should be fired. I don't care if it's in a bad area or what, have some manners. I wish I could give this place a negative 5.

 OCVS End of year celebration!

    Checkers is awesome! They hosted our end of year teacher meeting (donation based) and it was amazing! The food was great, we had burgers, hot dogs, fries, chicken sandwich and cake pops! I had the burger and it was really good the bread was nice and fresh which I loved. The hot dog was very good too. All of our teachers truly enjoyed themselves and the food. Nilda Rios the General manager was great, she treated everyone very well and displayed great customer service. They won me over I will definitely tell my friends to visit this Checkers and I will also be stopping by for lunch. YUM! Thank you for your donation to Orange County Virtual Schools!! We appreciate all that you have done.

    The spicy chicken has a great kick, the burgers are juicy and delicious, and the fries are the best offered by any drive thru.

Monica was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. Unfortunately, our interaction with Mary was the complete opposite. She was rude and unaccommodating, which made our visit unpleasant. After ordering a few drinks, we decided to patronize another business. As a group of returning customers, we were also disappointed that no effort was made to accommodate us. We've supported this restaurant year after year, and we expected a more welcoming experience, especially as loyal guests. We hope management recognizes the difference that customer service can make and addresses these concerns so future guests--and returning customers like us--have a better experience.

    Came here after an Orlando Magic game. Late night comfort food joints are a staple of Downtown…read moreOrlando, and they are desperately needed. Looking around after the game, a smash burger sounded like just the thing we needed. Ambiance was nice. Good, chill vibes, a random door to a random next-door bar. Plenty of viable seating for my party of six. Service was pretty ok. The front counter worker was nice enough, but the food took forever to come out. Much longer than I would expect for the products we ordered. The food itself was dynamite. I got the Papi Big Mak (Two Florida-raised beef patties, smashed onions, lettuce, American cheese, sweet-heat pickles, tostone "Middle Bun" , Papi Mak sauce, Sesame Martin Potato Roll). This was a fun thing. The patties had a good crisp to them. The totstone did not, though, so it got a little lost in the bite and chew. Needed more sauce. And that sesame seed bun really helped out a lot, too. A little extra texture in every bite. I was a fan. I also got the chance to try the Umami Papi (Two Florida-raised beef patties, crispy bacon, white cheese, sweet-heat pickles, crispy onion, raspberry jam, Uuuumami truffle sauce, sesame buns). This one was a better topping combination. The pickles had a nice pop of acid, the raspberry jam really stood out, adding a nice sweetness, and the truffle sauce, never thought I needed it on a burger. I did. Standout burger. I also got the Papis Loco Fries. I forget exactly what these fries were topped with, but the cheese, just look at it. Congealed just perfectly. A good side item, for sure. Overall, this greasy meal is out there doing the good work for the people. Maybe this was a four star meal overall, but I'm not sitting, that Umami Papi was a standout for me, and the reason I now give five stars.

    Pros: Ambiance was typical downtown hustle and bustle…read more Attached to other businesses with mystery doors. Good vibes. Food was good. Nice, crispy edges on the patties, and I loved how many sesame seeds were on the buns. Great flavor. Cons: The only thing was that they waited for our whole party's order to be ready before calling names, instead of just serving them as they came. This lead to cold burgers. Tips: Make sure you arrive early! If you wait too long, they switch to a smaller, less interesting menu.

There wasn't it. It's just a burger and fries and that's it lol. You can get single , double or triple cheeseburgers and then regular fries or seasoned fries. My boyfriend gave the burger a 8.2/10. He said it was really good and I had a bite and thought it was decent. It's a smash burger so the patty is burger than the bun and overall had great flavor with the pickles , onions and their cow and cheese special sauce. The seasoned fries tasted like they are seasoned with the seasoning that the bbq Fritos have. Both good dishes. The staff was friendly . The place was clean. I guess I just wish there was more variety. I try to stay away from fast food hamburgers so I was hoping there was a chicken sandwich on the menu but I guess that's why they call in cow and cheese. I think the prices are a little steep. You do get a big burger but it was 12 dollars and the basket of fries was 5.50. You're not walking out of there paying less than 10 bucks on anything that's for sure.

I ordered a brat with mustard and sauerkraut, paired with sweet potato tots, and it was exactly what I needed for a mid-to-late evening bite.

Your food is cooked to order and everything comes out to perfection. The location reminds me of the diner that in HIMYM's episode with the perfect burger. That's ironic because it's the reason I popped in here for the first time. After seeing several people have a burger one night, it became a much needed experience for me. The burger came out delicious. You have to add the house sauce to it. You won't regret it. The tenders are so crispy but maintain all their juiciness as well. As I write this review, I'm seriously considering going back for one or both. Nonetheless, go give it a try. There is an added bonus that the bar next door allows you to eat your food there and have a beverage or two.
