Checkers — Restaurant in Dearborn Heights

If you've read any of my other reviews or frequent this area then you already know that not all fast food establishments are created equal—especially around here. Now let's get to it.

If you just pulled up, you might be thinking "whoa, this place looks rough..", and you're not wrong—because it absolutely does. Including but not limited to the side of the building that has been duct taped back together at some point (possibly multiple times).You'll also find an abandoned and repurposed (for food delivery companies) second drive thru lane. You know, the one where the window is on the wrong side of your car when you pull up? I have not the slightest idea as to why this was a thing to begin with, but it going away and not being used for the general public is absolutely a good thing. Yes, it looks rough from the outside, but stay in line, as this is the best chance at getting a good Checkers meal that you have around here.

With that being said, I have been to this location several times, and have yet to be disappointed. The staff here is friendly, efficient, and the food is always hot and fresh. Even better, I've never had a discrepancy with my order here (which is pretty impressive if you frequent the fast food places in the area). I've also never had to wait more than a couple minutes in the drive thru which is also a plus. This place is pretty easy to get in and out of as well, and there is a small parking lot if you cannot wait until you get home to smash through those fries (I don't blame you).

When all is said and done, this location is a perfect example of why not to judge a book by it's cover, it looks rough from the outside (and I mean rough) but it is sure to not disappoint. Stop by to see...

I have never been to a more tidy Checkers. I hate sloppy fast food burgers. Buns falling off, too much sause, collected too much grease. I almost never complain, it's fast food, if I wanted better I should go to a coney island. Every single time we order from THIS checkers our burgers are perfect. Perfect amount of everything. Even the way they fold the paper over your sandwich and it be tucked in so neat. And when you get something special done to the burger they fold it in some kind of origami fast food where the paper on top has a white fold so they can write on it. We later found out they had new owners and now they're Asian. I thought it was strange at first. An Asian family with a burger joint. The way they make this food now... Fast and perfect. I wish this family had more fast food locations. When we order from here, our food is always perfect and exactly what we ordered. But when you order don't use the order online directly from they're website. I ordered food from there and never got it and couldn't find a way to get a refund. So, always go straight...

Horrible service. No receipt in the bag, made the Baconzilla with some kind of sauce that tasted like chilli instead of the cheese they normally use. Of course, by time I got to my destination, I was way too far to drive back. So, I looked for the receipt so I could call....didnt have one. Googled the number....called a few times....nobody would answer. The person I got it for wouldn't eat it because of the sauce on it made it taste bad. Went back the next day and the female "manager" said she cant do anything without the receipt ( which they didn't give) and the actual sandwich from the previous night. Would not Reimburse for the sandwich and would not make a new one. Argued that is not their policy for that mistake. I should have driven back and returned it if I wanted it fixed. She was rude and very unprofessional....especially for how much those damn hamburgers...
