Checkers

I haven’t had this place since I moved from California. The was.yummy.and were good but could have been better. Drive thru was fast and we didn’t have to wait long for our food.

3 stars only because I was excited that I found one outside of Philly. The taste was definitely Checkers… along with the attitude sadly. And my burger was cold. sure I picked up at the drive thru @ 11pm but cold food when ur expecting hot is not good, and I’m sure ur tired but it couldn’t hurt to crack a smile. Hopefully the next time I come back it’ll be better.

It’s 1:29am they told me they are out of Meat and they couldn’t sell me anything at all. I find that hard to believe. Not one thing at all could have been sold to me really. Place closes at 3 am it’s only 1:29. They need to fix this! Miami locations never ran into a issue… Get it together!!!

I received coupons in the mail for checkers and my man kept wanting to get something from there to try. So we went and I ordered a chicken burger and he order two regular burgers (I can’t remember the name) but basically they were cold and smothered with so much mayonnaise I couldn’t eat it. Nothing special or different here and I wish I would’ve just went to mcdonalds at least the food would’ve been hot!
On the bright side I ordered a raspberry Oreo stacker– it’s vanilla ice cream, Oreos, fudge and raspberry sauce! This was very good and different but I don’t think I would go there just for it.
Don’t waste your time here !

The food here is really good actually, but the service sucks, wrong orders all the time and their phone number doesn’t work.

Love the advertise special that they have up for months six dollar meatball sandwich that doesn’t exist! And where else can you go and order wings at the highest price in town that come with its own gallon of grease? Just awful service Jones and Tropicana.

I’m not a really picky eater. For the most part, even if food is sub-​par, I’ll still eat it. Soggy fries, whatever. Sloppy burger, no big deal. Dry chicken breast, it’s cool. I actually think McDonald’s and White Castle are pretty great for what you spend.
I’d never been to checkers before, so after a few drinks last Friday I figured I’d give it a shot. That was a huge mistake. After spending a few bucks on a #1, I took my food home to enjoy it… or so I thought.
The burger was by and large the worst fast-​food burger I’ve ever had. I have pretty low standards, man, and that thing was just not. good. But I was a little sauced, so I finished it. Onto the fries.
What in the name of soggy flavorless potato hell just went into my mouth? Maybe that was a bad one. Nope, still awful flavorless mush. Those went into the bin uneaten.
I will say though, the Coke that I got was what I expected — but that’s nearly impossible to mess up.
Oh, dear Unilocalers, I wish the story ended there. Imagine my surprise when Sunday morning rolls around and something just… isn’t quite right. I feel a little sour. My muscles seem a little fatigued. I feel warm and just a bit bloated… and then comes the lower abdomen rumble of doom.
While I spent the remainder of the day with my rear doing a dramatic recreation of the fire-​hose from «Backdraft» I had plenty of time to reflect upon what I may have eaten that could have cause such violent business — and I settled upon the poor, poor quality food that came from this fine establishment. This continued until Thursday evening. Food poisoning was amazing! I lost an entire 8 pounds over the course of the week. Thanks, checkers, for accelerating my diet!
TL;DR: I ate here. It wasn’t good. I got food poisoning and was ill for 6 days.

Im FORCED to give it one star, want to give it 0!!!
Fries were burnt and gross, burgers were smashed into the bottom of the bag.
I asked for ranch and the lady said it costs extra then SLAMMED the door closed to the drive thru window.
This place will shut down SUPER quick!
Horrible!

I wish i can honestly give this place no stars i wanted to try for the first time being back on trop n jones and man was this a bad choice. I was greeted pretty nicely but damn the drive through was slow as fuck and there was an insanely driven lady that was talking out of insanity in the lobby. Meanwhile, im ordering my food and i get a large meal and when i was presented with my order im hearing everyone in the back arguing till a girl finally walks out and leaves agitated when the owner and district manager was there aswell. So im sitting here dissatisfied with the size of the fries and the elderly lady comes up to me eyeballing my food and now inches away she looks like shes gonna sip my drink so i get up and leave angry and disappointed from this misplaced burger joint DONT EVEN COME HERE.

Cheese wasn’t melted on my breakfast sandwich (lukewarm), hash browns were still frozen, they forgot to get me my coffee and the lady was rude when I asked her several times if I could have my coffee. Sad day I was really looking forward to eating somewhere new.

Ok food, staff members can barely take an order in person or over the drive thru. Our order is almost always wrong

I have ate at this location one or two times and I got to say the food here at this checkers is okay at best the fries are okay but the oil that comes out of the fries looks like they don’t change it based on how the fries taste as you can taste the oil when you eat the fries and the times I ate them I either had a bad stomach ache or diarrhea not a good thing to have outside of that I can’t say much about the burgers as I only had the chili cheese fries or the regular fries but other then that the food for the price you pay isn’t too bad just wish they would constantly change the oil for the fries if they do that then there wouldn’t be much of a problem other then that I could see myself coming here again or another time and give this checkers location another shot.

Not bad. Tried it for the 1^st time, went through the drive-​thru and there wasn’t a line so everything was pretty quick. I got a double cheeseburger, spicy chicken sandwich and an order of chicken bites (no fries so no comment on that). Food tasted fresh not stale or dry and the prices seemed pretty cheap. I think so far better than sonics food. But I have yet to try everything else so I’ll be back and update.

What fast food chain doesn’t Las Vegas have anymore?
Checkers is a retro, 50s/​60s drive-​in style fast food joint, kinda like Sonic was before they decided to ~modernize~ it. Yuck.
The building looks quite large from the outside, but upon walking inside the seating area is quite small. It is a drive-​in style restaurant, so the emphasis is more on outside seating and/​or eating in your car. Well, at this location only the former appears to exist. Unlike other drive-​ins I’ve seen in the past there were no car stations. Huh?
Okay, well on to the food. I ordered a Double Checker burger, large fries and a chocolate milkshake. The fries were amazing. Well seasoned and greasy enough to enhance the flavor without just being greasy. The milkshake was thick and quite divine. It was as if Ixcacao (the Aztec goddess of cocoa) had brewed the concoction for me herself! It was almost better then In-N-Out’s milkshakes. Almost.
The burger was just okay at best. It was competent but beyond that nothing really stood out about it. It was about a step up from McDonald’s at most, and considering the price, not something that’s worth going out of my way for. The milkshake and the fries are however.
The Final Verdict
Pros:
Retro, drive-​in décor and vibe.
Great fries and milkshakes.
Cons:
Tasty but non-​exceptional burgers.
Huh?:
A drive-​in that doesn’t have eat-​in-​your-​car stations? What blasphemy is this?
Return Factor: ⁶⁄₁₀. Only if I’m in the area and happen to have a craving for the fries.

Terrible food
Fries were cold and dripping in old oil, would be nice to change the old fryer oil .
Burgers were DROWNED in mustard
Oh yes no napkins or ketchup without going back to the counter
Pass!

I was impressed with Checkers. I have been a few times now, ordered different things each time, and have been impressed with the quality of their food. I mean, at the end of the day, it’s still fast food but the beef patties are of good quality, the buns are good and the fries are pretty awesome.
I usually avoid giving fast food chains anything above a 3-​star rating but I like that this chain is new and challenging some of the more establish ones like McD’s or Jack in the Box

No more wishing l was in cali for this. Glad I stop by to get some, no issues for me, got the food faster than I ordered. Always a plus!

Meh.
I’d had Checkers once before, on the other side of town about a year ago, and it was pretty darned good. I was SO excited that there was a Checkers opening up near me!
After having a really rough day and night, my fella and I decided to just drive through for dinner.
The food was ok. It wasn’t spectacular, but it was a step above McDonalds, and a good alternative to Jack in the Box.
The burgers were standard, but they got the «special» orders right (no tomato for me, no mayo for my fella), and I thought the fries were great, although they were cold when we got home, but that was our fault.
We also tried the fish sandwich, which I thought was pretty good too, although I’d have to have the sauce on mine (fella doesn’t like that kind of sauce).
I don’t know that I’ll make this a frequent stop, but I think its great, like Emily R said, to have other junk food options in this area.
Service was nice, and there were no bugs or bug parts in my food (which I was terrified about after reading the reviews… which I read after we ordered), so I’m pretty happy with it.

The fucking employees are incompetent stop hiring highschool dropouts. When we got back the order was wrong the fries were cold, was so exited when they recently opened, with the shitty service and even shittier food i hope the shut this place down

This Checkers location recently opened up on the corner of Jones and Tropicana in the Smith’s shopping center.
I’ve never been to Checkers. The food was decent for fast food and the prices were low. I wasn’t too excited about this location, but it’s good to have a little more diversity in the area for junk food.
