Checkers - St. Petersburg

Maria and Josh were fantastic. If you ever find yourself needing to visit Checkers, make sure to go to the one on 66th street. We had a bad experience at a different Checkers before going there, but Maria and Josh really went above and beyond to take care of us. They deserve all the praise in the world! Absolutely amazing experience overall.

It was too hot to cook, so we decided to order 2 Checkerburgers for $6 and 2 spicy chicken sandwiches for $6. Ashley, our server, braved the heat and brought the food out to our car. I realized I didn't have any cash on me, so I plan to bring her something as a thank you tomorrow.

On March 16th I placed an order online for pickup, since I was at St. Pete Hospital being induced and had a small window left to eat. My husband walked over to pickup the food and when he arrived they were closed . The person refused to give him our food that we had ordered and paid for. Told him that they were closed. He then called the Checkers Helpline number and we were told we would be reimbursed for the order. It 's June now and still haven 't received a refund yet. Never place an order online for this Checkers unless you like not receiving your food or your money back!!

So 5 stars you ask...for Checkers? Yes indeed! We went on Saturday afternoon. There speaker was not working so you had to go to the window to order. We ordered burgers, fries, monsterella sticks, etc. Believe it or not, the food came out in less than 4 minutes fresh, hot, and right! Now that is service! Such a great experience deserves praise!

It's been many years since I've had checkers. My daughter and I were on our way somewhere and we made the impulse decision to pick up some fries. We pulled into the drive thru and were greeted nicely, we ordered our fries and decided to do the 2 for $4 spice chicken sandwich. The service was very pleasant and fast. The fries were fresh, crispy and tasted exactly as I had remembered them as a kid! My daughter loved them. The spicy chicken sandwich was crispy and juicy but comparing it to other fast food places I would probably get a similar sandwich somewhere else. But between the friendly service and crispy fries, I'd come back to this location sooner than I had before...lol
