Checkers

"01/19/2023 I order two Big Buford combos tonight medium with 2 Cokes, 22 dollars and change. I was shocked when after waiting behind two cars I reached the drive thru window, the cashier leaned out the window and had tattoos and piercings all over her face. Some piercings were dangling out of her nose that looked like silver drops of snot dripping out. Lost my appetite immediately. On my way home a grabbed some fries from the bag. The fries were only just warm and tasted of old oil. I live less than ten minutes away. When I got home I took a bite of the burger. Again I was sorrily disappointed, the bun was soggy, the onions were old and limp, the chopped lettuce was brown and translucent, the tomatoes were soggy and translucent and the hamburger patties were cold and seemed dried out and over cooked. It seemed the worst Big Buford I have ever had. I used to order several Big Buford combos a week, sometime every day of the week. In the 90s and 00s Checkers was excellent. Due to poor management of these Checkers restaurants I maybe stop when I am at the S Woodland Blvd location it is pretty good. All the others are not worth stopping, I no longer go to the DeLand, Orange City, either of the Daytona locations because of poor service and bad food. I might give this location another try because my first visit 4 month ago was not too bad. Sept 2023 This was my first visit to the New Checkers in Deltona. I didn’t see the $10 off coupon on your first visit on Google maps. When I arrived the parking lot and parking area was clean everything like a new restaurant. The general manager took my order and suggested the big Buford combo. I ordered the big Buford combo regular size. My order was ready when I reached the window and there were no cars in front of me. The Coca-Cola was awesome and the brix mix appeared to be 5 to 1 or 5.5 to 1 and not water down. The season fries were just warm obviously cooked ahead and waiting for the next guest. The fries tasted good and appeared to be cooked in new oil. The big Buford Burger had two beef patties and two slices of cheese. The patties were warm and juicy but not hot. The cheese was melted. The lettuce was soft and not crisp, but not soggy. The tomatoes were soft and appeared to be sliced sometime ago. The pickles and onions were crisp and crunchy. The bun was soft and warm. The food was good and the service was great. I will return to this location and give them another try. Much better than the Orange City or downtown DeLand locations."

"The food here is amazing. Unfortunately they only prioritize drive thru. The last two visits I didn't order because they wouldn't take my order inside. The first time I waited 10 minutes then left. The 2nd time I watched their TV screen and they took a cars order that was there after I arrived. Then another car pulls up and was helped within 10 seconds even though I've been standing inside for 5 minutes already. I left again. Both times was around 8pm when they weren't busy. Unacceptable."

"We normally order the Classic Mother Cruncher, the Double Checkerburger with cheese, and the Triple Smoky BBQ Bacon Buford. Their mozzarella sticks are our favorite!! For dessert, I recommend any of the three flavors of their delicious cheesecake sundaes. We loved the apple turnovers, too! The service at this location is always great and fast."

"First time visiting this new location on Saxon. Parking is very limited. I walked in for counter service and was not greeted by any of the seven employees as they saw me walk in. There was no line and I still had to wait for an employee to walk from the back to help me as he stopped what he was doing. The whole ordering process was silent, he didn't say a single word. He took my order and made my burger and I went on my way. The experience was highly dissatisfying with the employees being so unattentive and not providing even sub par customer service."
