We randomly saw Checkers as we were heading out of Wilmington and had to stop and reminisce. There were a few in Winston-Salem back in the early 2000's that I went to all the time as a kid. The fries are still as good as I remembered them. The facilities and building at this location could be fixed up a bit better though.
The food is good every time I come here. The fries are hot and fresh every time, fresh out of the fryer, and the garlic parmesan wings are insanely good. They can rival some wing restaurants. The burgers are also amazing every time. 10/10 every time.
Prepare yourself for an utterly exasperating experience at Checkers. From the moment I set foot inside, I was bombarded with a cacophony of disappointment that left me longing for the peaceful sanctuary of my beloved bird watching escapades.
As I perused the menu, my eyes were assaulted by an overwhelming selection of greasy, uninspiring fast food options. It was as if they had taken all the creativity and finesse that I admire in the avian world and tossed it out the window. Where were the vibrant colors, the delicate patterns, and the awe-inspiring beauty that I find in the feathery creatures that grace our skies?
The lack of attention to detail continued when I approached the counter to place my order. The employees seemed more interested in hurriedly slapping together sloppy meals than in taking a moment to appreciate the subtleties of flavor and presentation. It was a stark contrast to the patience and precision required in bird watching, where every movement and chirp holds significance.
And let's not even get started on the taste. The burger was a sad excuse for sustenance, lacking any discernible character or depth. The fries were a limp and lifeless disappointment, devoid of the crispy satisfaction I seek in my culinary endeavors. It made me yearn for the delicate notes of a melodious bird song, a symphony that uplifts my spirit with each sweet note.
But alas, amidst the sea of mediocrity, a silver lining emerged. In the midst of my frustration, I was reminded of the tranquil solace that my bird watching hobbies bring me. The moments spent observing the graceful flight of a hawk or the delicate dance of a hummingbird are a stark contrast to the chaotic and uninspiring atmosphere of Checkers.
So, my fellow nature enthusiasts, let us not lose sight of the beauty that surrounds us. Let us remember that there is a world beyond the confines of fast food mediocrity, a world where the vibrant hues of a warbler's plumage or the majestic soar of an eagle captivate our senses. Let us seek solace in the majesty of nature and be reminded that there is still wonder and awe to be found.
In conclusion, my disappointment at Checkers was a stark reminder of the enchantment that bird watching brings to my life. It's a reminder to savor the beauty of the natural world and to seek out experiences that inspire and uplift. So, instead of settling for a lackluster fast-food excursion, I encourage you to embrace the serenity and joy that bird watching can offer.
I stopped by Saturday May, 20th, 2023. The cashier, JoJuan(?, I'm sure I spelled his name wrong, sorry) was the sweetest, most polite employee I have ever dealt with at this location. Food was as expected. Cashier/server gets a 5 star review. Food gets a 3.5.
Checker's is one of my favorite fast food restaurants. I love their Baconzilla Combo 🍔🥓, it is really Good and about the only reason why I love going there, that and their Seasoned Fries 🍟.
Today I got GrubHub To deliver to me from this checkers and at first I was skeptical due to the reviews about orders being wrong but I was pleasantly surprised and almost taken aback because they went out of their way to package my order for safe delivery. My order was correct and they placed it in a small bag and sealed it then placed it into a larger bag and seal that one as well then placed it in an even larger plastic bag and sealed that one too! This is a very popular location so it’s understandable for them to get orders mixed up with such a large crowd being the only checkers in the immediate area so I wouldn’t judge them off of Hangry reviewers.
I don't like the idea of people hanging out in the parking lot. But the food and service were great!
Not bad. Been a while since I got me some checkers. Got the ol champ. Man it wasn't like nothing to smack yo momma over but it was good enough that I scarffed it like I was an unfed growing boy. The fries are where it's at. They were scorching hot and beyond delicious. Mu only regret was not getting a bigger fry. All in all good fast dinner

I moved to Texas 20 years ago. When I saw a checkers I knew I had to have a burger. I was pleased with the promotion on double cheeseburgers. The staff was efficient but seemed like the attention was divided. The burgers were prepared the way I asked and were very tasty. I'm glad I stopped, the experience was how I remember it. I'm in town for a visit a few days I may stop by again.
First time having checkers was in 2019 when I moved to Wilmington food was good
