What diners say — our read

No strong feelings in these 21 reviews — the ratings sit low and steady. Reviews that raise whether food comes out hot average just 2.6 stars — this is where the complaints concentrate. After that, service appears most often — 24% of the corpus, averaging 2.4.

Dates on these reviews range from Oct 2025 to May 2026. Of the 21 rated reviews, 12 sit at four stars or better and 8 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on value for money at all. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (9 of 21).

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (98/100), 2 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. The visit behind that grade was January 12, 2026. That puts it ahead of 79% of graded kitchens in St. Lucie County. For specifics, the last inspection cited cross-contamination and plumbing installed & maintained.

Worth separating: the complaints above cluster on service, not on the kitchen, which inspected well. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    The fish sandwich was fresh and good

  • April 7, 2026

    Delightful

    Not just checkers every fast food place never give napkins through the drive-through

  • March 27, 2026

    Well the bacon sandwich was ok. It looked ugly when you open the sandwich. The banana shake had no banana taste. The fries was ok. The strawberry cheese cakes bites was the best thing in the bag. Strawberry cheese cakes bites was hot (heat), and still warm to the last bite. It was just not enough of them in the container 4 or 5 pieces. Plus the strange thing is you is talking to an computer when you order.

    The manager just charged me for an order I asked to be fixed. I didn’t have money to spend on too much food but she charged me anyway. And didn’t tell me anything and gave me a disgusting drink

  • January 28, 2026

    One of the most inviting fast food eateries I have been to in a long time

  • January 5, 2026

    dont expect anything and you will be surprised....dining room had no napkins, condiments. tried to use the BOGO coupon only to be told by a rather abrupt employee that "that's not the way the order came through" also i went thru paypal to pay and found out that the order actually processes thru door dash....the burger was terrible..the bun actually fell apart before i could eat it so I just threw it away....used to love checkers, but no more....also...a real person does not take your order, it is done by AI.

    When picking up my order tonight the staff seemed nice at first but was incredibly rude overall, they yelled at me throuugh the speaker. Half of the food was dry and cold including the fries which from my experience working in food if you give a customer a cold item that is supposed to be hot it has been in an unsafe window of temperature for too long and leaves it a risk of food born illnesses. I understand people have hard nights, that doesn't excuse unsafe food handling.

    Tasty

    Good.\nService good food

  • December 10, 2025

    Ordered the pubster combo and the fries were so damn cold I couldn't eat them. Why would you give it to me to eat knowing you yourself wouldn't eat it!

    Love checker burgers, but they seen quit a bit smaller

  • November 14, 2025

    If I could rate this checkers negative zero I would. The quality of the meat isn't real beef. I ordered a big buford and the patty was fake lol looking and tasting. I live to far to return it. The new cheesecake bites looked like vomit inside. I hate to wish bad upon any business so I'll keep my mouth SHUT DOWN AND CLOSE NOW. I see why a lot of checkers are closing as they should if they're servicing our communities garbage. Get it together immediately Checkers, we the people, are on to your nastiness. I will never eat at any Checkers ever again.

    Neither the hamburger or the chicken sandwich were edible

  • November 7, 2025

    Buenas hamburguesa

  • November 1, 2025

    Was ordering cheeseburgers and Denise wants to say "Jesus Christ" through the mic...then I get up to the window and she pretty much pushes the drinks in my hand and shoves the card and straws at me...says move to the parking lot and slams the window. She is so rude and shouldn't be talking to and treating customers so rudely...I even thanked her right before she slammed the window. Rude lady. Won't ever be coming back to this location. Spent $60 and got an attitude

    I went to the inside and the person was very busy; so I went to the drive thru and an automated voice took my order. I got a Finish line burger combo. I don't usually complain but one bite of the burger was enough; it was dry and cold. The special sauce can not save this item on the menu when cold, dry burgers are served up. The fries were hot and passed for the usual fare found at fast food establishments. Hotdogs were mentioned as available on Google maps but this item is not offered. I must say it will be quite some time before I try a Checkers again.

    I’m really disappointed with the car service team. The first time, they forgot to give me the apple pie, and today they gave me the small size even though my order was for the large one.
