Rally's/Checkers Hamburgers

Feel free to post your experince about one of these two restaurants. And I want to no, why did all the restaurants disappear so fast. As i said in the chains going downhill forums, most of the Rally's in detroit closed down within a year and the ones that remained open took up the name checkers.

Rally's and Checkers -- It's just one company.

This happened everywhere. Even here in the deep south. Detroit, huh?

And Chickinboy Scores!

Well, I no that Checkers is better than Golden Arches.

I understand they plan to keep the little dog named "Checkers," but you will know longer have Rallys to kick around anymore.

In the Louisville area we have a number of Rally's and they seem to be doing just fine. I use one of the charity-promoting "two-fer" coupon books and it has most of the various FF places in it with multiple coupons. Rally's has(had) 5 coupons in the booklet..and we have used them all. Rally-Burgers seem to do well with us. Whereas the BK and Wendy's coupons are still all in the book. McDonald's offers a free FF with the purchase of a sandwich...not enough of a bonus to get me into the Arches!

I have run out of energy deleting posts that are just "feeding the Trolls" Will you guys please back off and not encourage the continued baiting of the guy.

HASTA LA VISTA CHICKINBOY!

A Rally's just opened close to where I live. I have not tried it yet. I've heard they have good lemonade.

I no you guys better stop aggravating the Mayor or he will whip some a$$es.

Sheesch One-Iron, You need some more computer time!! That reminder you just posted came almost 6 months after my deletions and expulsion of the SuperheroChickenSh**tBoy. You gotta try harder to keep up on the news!

We've got a couple Checkers in Milwaukee. I'd driven by them for years before finally stopping last summer. Now I'm kicking myself for overlooking them all these years.

The burger meat is avergage but the combinations of toppings places the sandwiches above those of MacD and BK. The seasoned fries are quite good.
AND THEY HAVE BANANA SHAKES!

Also, the "2 for $4" deals make the chain very affordable.

And I love the double drive-up lines. Bring a passenger as the service window on the left side of the building usually has a much smaller line.

We have those in Knoxville, TN. I love the service and the double drive up lane. I have only done them once and I was pleased with the product and service. Fries were hot and burger was fresh and as I ordered.

I still hit Rally's occasionally, its as good or better than the BIG NAME ff palaces, ranked below Hardees, Wendy's and Krystals but above McD, BK and whattabooger. My youngest daughter stops a couple times a week for a bananna shake.

The only drawaback to the 2 lanes is if the shortest lane happens to be the left one and your alone in the car, the needed acrobatics is beyond my bulks ability

Most of, if not all the Checker's here in Middle Tennessee have closed. did the chain belly up or something?

Rally's is growing by leaps and bounds here in Indianapolis.

Rick's thoughts? Burgers are great. Fries suck beyond belief.

Hey Rick.. Sorry to hear Rallys frys went down the tube.. (Used to live on the West Side of Indy and was like a 2 minute walk to Rallys on West Washington St.. Fry's where awesome back then (1990-92)..)

I know the Checkers fries were greasy, coated curly types that always looked overdone.
I think they still abound in Florida.
There were 2 of them within 6 miles of my house back there.

The ones in Daytona Beach have great seasoned fries.

ETA - As usual, it's up to the local manager.

Our nearest Rally's is in Florence Ky, bout 30 minute drive. last time I went through there I got sick after eating there so I wont go back to that one.

The Rally's in Madison, Indiana has always been good, and has been awarded the top Rally's in the country 3 times in 6 years.

Their Double BBQ bacon cheese burger is awesome, two beef patties 2 slices of cheese, bbq sauce and friend onion rings.

Their seasoned fries are always good, fresh and hot.

I love their fried apple pies too.

We have a Rally's in Jeff, Clarksville, and New Albany. All three do a good job on the Bacon burgers and the Seasoned Fries. Some of the drive-thru lanes are a bit tight fit for my Ford truck (Mirrors)!

That's funny. The only thing that Rally's has that I like are the fries.

Do they still serve their sausage sandwiches? Those were pretty good, but not great.

Oh, John, I am not bashing the fries..
I love those things!
But the way they look.. Every Checkers I have been to, they look the same.
Sometimes when in need of a fix, I would just drive in just to get some fries.
I would love some now.

CHECKERS IS AWESUM!!!!!!!
#1 IN MY BOOK!!!
only complaint closest one is like 40 miles away

I love Rally's and especially the fries. The ones in Toledo seem to be doing just fine. I've had Checkers when I was in Florida and of course it was great because of the fries.

For Fast Food, I have always enjoyed Rally's, but it seems like, around here, at least, they seem to operate in some pretty sketchy neighborhoods.
