Checkers - Milwaukee

I have not been to a Checkers for many years but was in the neighborhood and was pleasantly suprised with several things. I believe I had the Baconzilla with 2 patties. All aspects of this burger exceeded my expectations including that every bite hadbacon! The fries were particularly good as was the banana shake. I will have to make a point to get back soon and no...I was notcompensated for this review, just genuinely suprised as they had a reputation as a lesser level burger joint...no longer!

Checkers use to be so good growing up but now I am lost! The fries are the bomb! The burgers are horrible. They must not be using real beef, because the burger taste absolutely disgusting. It doesn't taste like real beef and it has a real bad aftertaste. Their spicy chicken sandwich taste good, even though it is not hand breaded. Their shakes are good but taste better whenyou first get it. If it sits, it gets flat tasting and all you taste is the syrup they use to make it with. Mozzarella sticksare good. Overall they need to do better. Also the management needs to make sure that staff has hair nets on or at least theirhair tied back. Please do not play in or touch your hair when you are making people food. These people that work in the foodservice business is nasty. It is not alot to ask from people that work in the food business to wash their hands before makingpeople food. Oh and make sure to change your gloves frequently. Please do not have the gloves on for 8 hours. Last but notleast, if you are working the cash register, you need to wash or sanitize your hands before you go to make or help packagepeople food orders. Handling dirty money and touch food is nasty.

I am not typically a fan of fast food, but I really enjoy the hot dogs at this restaurant. The chili dogs are especially delicious. However, I tried their fish sandwich and found it to be decent. My only complaint is that it was a bit too greasy. They should consider draining off some of the excess oil before serving it. Overall, the food was tasty and satisfying.

The food was mediocre at best. The fries were lukewarm and my burger was messy. The tomato and lettuce were soggy and wilted, and the broth was not fresh. It was disappointing to have such a subpar dining experience.

This restaurant received a rating of 3 mainly due to its drive-thru service. The drive-thru has remained unchanged for years, and it is in need of upgrades like cosmetic improvements and expansion to accommodate the high volume of traffic.
