BURGERS: Never fresh, always frozen. But still somewhat tasty. FRIES: Always make me nauseous but taste great while I am eating them. CHILI DOGS: Tasty and thus unhealthy. SHAKES: Too sweet but wonderful anyway. SERVICE: Slower than a dead snail swimming in frozen molasses. PRICES: Higher than a nuclear powered kite. CLEANLINESS: Little to none. PARKING: Plenty of it. NEIGHBORHOOD: Relatively safe for Philly but gradually decaying. Several recent fatal shootings within two blocks. One murder by vehicle five feet from Checker's front door (a Dunkin Donuts customer got mad at a fellow customer). Three stars from the savage hungry pig in me. read more

Checkers - Frozen, never fresh burgers - Fast Food Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place is my guilty pleasure. Most of the Checkers in the area closed over a year ago. This one, too. However, it reopened. It's open until 2 am most days. Its clean and service is friendly. Wait times aren't bad like other places where you wait in the drive-through line for 15 minutes, wondering if the restaurant knows the term 'fast food'. It's not on the menu, but ask for a chili cheese burger. It's to die for. read more

Checkers - Store front - Fast Food Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

before you consider eating at checkers just know that this may be the worst restaurant I've ever eaten out of ever my burger came out completely wrong and patty itself looked like a slab of drywall. Just wanted a normal lunch that fateful day however I didn't expect for it to be ruined by a putrid burger and some actually pretty decent fries. Service was pretty chill but change that recipe cuz it isn't working. In conclusion you're better off just passing By your local checkers the parking lots empty for a reason. read more

It's checkers not great but not bad but they're fries are good. My son got the chicken bites box- they were definitely sitting out for awhile, they also forgot his honey mustard and told us it was in the bag but it wasn't. Our fries were hot and good as usual. The chick at the drive thru was nice and quick. read more

This place is amazing! The customer service, the food, everything. Every time I come here the food is made fresh and is always hot. The customer service is great too, they're super nice! Highly recommend this location! read more

Burgers are dry and tasteless. Fries are OK. I went drive-thru and it took a long time. I was hoping it was because they were cooking the burgers fresh, but alas it was not. I think the kids inside were just not trained. I will try something else before crossing them off my list.​ read more

The customer service was amazing! The food was fresh! and the manager was very polite as well, I think his name was Will.

Amazing food 10/10. Came out hot and fresh. The custom service was was good people were polite. The food came out fast and hot.

Is it even open?? Got there to pick up my food no lights inside, no cars around. I don't understand why indicate on google that it's open for dine in, pick up?!? And I got there 30 min after opening. Called 2x no one picked up. Lol read more

These guys are disgusting they touch everything with their gloves and never change them then touch your food with the same unchanged gloves makes you almost want to smack someone in the face they take forever and they make you spend all this money this chick charged me for the meal when she told me they didn't have fries available and tried to say that I wanted mozzarella sticks in its place no she had to give me my money back for the fries their disgusting and they take forever someone call an inspector over there please don't eat here please. read more

Checkers - They giving you your bag with sauce all over the top end of the bag poor care of food ! - Fast Food Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Very slow, put kids on register without proper training. Has no idea what he is doing. Not his fault. Management hasnt even come by to help him. He has not been trained properly to be running registar alone. Everyone working in the back just take their sweet time. Its sounds like they are too busy joking around. Floors both in order room an kitchen are totally gross. Looks like they haven't been cleaned in some time. I haven't even tried the food yet. 1st impression was terrible. Will not be returning. read more

Always been a fan of checkers. Just the only problem not to many around. So when I found out this was going to be a checkers was kind kinda excited!! Glad that their is a sitting area on the inside compared to the one down the BLVD that's only the drive thru and if you want to sit and eat you have to sit outside... I've always been a fan of the seasoned French fries some of the best around when it comes to fast food. The menu prices for food is great. Then they have the 2 for $4, 2 for $3 deals. With all different milkshakes. Hope this checkers stays around for along time. Because ever since it use to be Taco bell back in the day this location turn in to Jack's way back burgers that didn't last to long. And with many other stores to shop. This Is a good spot to just get something to eat fast to eat when you are in a rush. The service was fast and so was me getting my food. Less then 5 min. read more

I stopped here with my son because he was bugging me to get Checkers I said NO at first but he talked me into going- I wish I stuck to my guns on not going because the food was just what I thought it would be gross & and soggy. The cheeseburger looked like something that was plopped together tons of may ketchup and mustard on the bun that it made the rolls soggy. Checkers needs to focus on making better food or I am afraid they will be shut down soon and be just a memory. Do Not go here. read more

Can they sparw the condiments? I asked for extra condiments on all of my sandwiches because I know they are very skimpy with them. All of my sandwiches were very dry and almost inedible. Also none of them were labeled. People don't like you to have to open every sandwich to find out what they are! Skimpy on napkins. Forgot or did not have part of Grubhub order, but still charged for it. Don't waste your time! read more

literally was good opening night and ever since then it rly lacks service & quality. the workers are rude and our orders are always wrong. everything tastes freezer burnt and poorly made. honestly an attitude check & some extra training should work. read more

The food was good and the staff was nice the speaker was broken so you had to order at the window which was fine they forgot the chicken tenders tho. read more

This checkers spot is good for their super hot wings. I get the bone-in ones. Dont expect sensational service or a social splender of sorts. There are mistakes made occassionaly. read more

I'm a fan of checkers when done correctly, the problem is most checkers locations are staffed poorly, and the consistency of food varies wildly depending on who's currently staffed, I've been to the Roosevelt checkers 3 times during the last month, and all of the experiences have been as night and day to one another. Pro-tip, avoid late-nights here at all costs, things turn out pretty terrible, half the time stocks run out, and buns are half stale. Another issue with this branch is just how slow everything is, even during the good times to visit, don't expect your food quickly. Best time to visit this checkers is around rush hour 4-5PM, the sooner the better- that late night shift swap is what kills it. Visit before last, couple weeks back me and a bud showed up late night, fries were over done, and less cold than you'd expect, the buns felt like someone left the packaging open and they'd been in the air for too long. Fast forward to yesterday, immediately after work, food came out okay, buns weren't stale, fries were actually hot and not overcooked, order took forever as per usual, but it wasn't bad. I cant really reccomend it, but i keep coming back hoping things will improve- when its good its pretty good, but too often it isn't. Flavor & Presentation 2.5/5 | Service & Speed 1/5 | Price & Proportion 3/5 Overall 2/5 read more

Do not go to this branch ever!!!!! we came to this drive thru hoping for great food at a good price. On the website they had a deal that show you could get 4 items for 3$, nothing about what comes in it, or the conditions. we get to the drive thru at night. The lady cuts me off in the middle of my order to let me know that this was what they had on hand, and that they were not cooking anymore. After taking my order and not taking time to explain the deals, that could save me 5 bucks, we ordered; 4 cheap burgers, 2 boxes of fries, 3 boxes of bites and fries, and a side of wings. We get done with ordering, and she cant not give me a total, after telling the next person at the window about the web site, he closes the window and takes forever to make the food. the then stand around laughing at the order. Our food come out and that his point the person at the window asks if he would like to see my manager. There is a 7 car line behind us so i decline telling them i will call tomorrow. I pull into an empty spot to check the order and can see the manager and works laughing at the order paper they just printed from our food. but it gets worse. The fries are rock hard the burgers are cold and the boxes are missing the sauce. If this is great customer service then I hate to see what bad looks like. I will be calling corporate tomorrow and updating this review on my findings. worst burger and fries that has ever been served to me. Do not go to this branch ever!!!!! read more

Food had mold on it, will not come again to any Checkers in the City of Philadelphia.

Came here recently for the first time in a long time. There was barely anyone in there, which is good because there'd be no awkward accidental eye contact with strangers. Got a Big Buford, Bacon Checkerburger w/ cheese, and large fries. All were hot; fries were great and the burgers were pretty good. Cashier was chill, too. No issues like some other reviewers. So, yeah, it was pretty good. read more

Stopped into checkers to grab a quick bite for my kids major FAIL! French fries barely any there and cold funnel cake fries look like a disaster nothing like the picture burgers asked for just ketchup they couldn't even get that right paid for 6 Apple pies got 3 I wouldn't advise anyone to waste their time here and then call the place to let them know and no one answers read more
