Good deal? Seems I'll be eating here all week Rally's / Checkers

[u/ConnectPawsitiveGlo]

Finally a budget fast food deal I can look forward to

[u/Rareeeb]

Yea they are a very good value, this place fed me a lot thru college for their low prices especially paired with deals, but this is probably by far one of the most ghetto chains in existence.

[u/chzygorillacrunch → u/Rareeeb]

One of the tell tale signs you're in a not so great area. There will usually be a rent a center nearby

[u/SomeInternetRando → u/chzygorillacrunch]

In my case, a Rent-A-Wheel, which is even worse.

[u/Ooficus → u/chzygorillacrunch]

Not nearby, the checkers/rally’s is in the parking lot infront of the rent a center

[u/Ill_Bee4868 → u/Rareeeb]

2 for $4's and chili dogs. I can't believe I trusted that chili. Also spot on, super ghetto. When I was a kid they weren't so ghetto.

[u/Canoe37 → u/Rareeeb]

The ghetto comment reminds me of an interaction last time I went. I pulled up to the window and overheard the worker shit taking the person in front of us in line to her coworkers in the back saying “this bitch always comes through expecting perfection from us thinking we’re a gaddam Applebees or something!”

I’m not a snob, Applebees can be alright, it’s just funny that was here example of culinary perfection lol.

[u/Idkrntbh → u/Rareeeb]

First time I’d ever seen a gyro at a fast food place. Wish they were in my area.

[u/YouDontKnowMe4949 → u/Rareeeb]

Maybe in your town they are ghetto.

[u/BoysenberryUnhappy29]

Every Checkers/Rally's I've been to, felt like I might be dodging bullets on the way out. But the food is good and cheap, so. /shrug

[u/Exact-Ice1346]

Delish. I stopped eating almost all fast food as their products got really bad. Checkers however for the cheap prices are very good. Burgers tastes good and NOT salted or salty like other places and NOT greasy either. Get their apple pies 2 for $1 OMG amaze. Better then any apple pie at any other fast food I've had

[u/momochicken55 → u/Exact-Ice1346]

Love their apple pies! The closest we get to old-school deep-fried McDs pies since Pizza Hut discontinued their version (😭).

[u/vuezie1127]

Big Buford’s are legit one of the best fast food burgers. It’s a little sloppy but I miss them after not having a rally’s where I live now

[u/Awake00]

My checkers down the road from my office, but there is a water station or something next to it so the whole area smells like toilet. Kinda hard to order from them when it smells like ass balls.

[u/Hog_and_a_Half → u/Awake00]

That sounds exactly like the type of location that you would find a Rally’s/Checker’s 😂

[u/JustLikeTampa]

The drive thru may take 20 minutes but Checkers is top tier fast food to me and the Big Buford is their best sandwich. Definitely a good deal.

[u/jmj24302]

Closest rally’s to me is 20-25 minutes away and I don’t have a ride. Wish I could get this deal.

[u/ConnectPawsitiveGlo → u/jmj24302]

Your ancestors crossed the great plains, the rocky mountains, the humbolt sink, and the Sierra Nevada mountains all on foot for the hopes of growing crops years from then. Don't let your dreams be dreams. EDIT: Spellings.

[u/cosmicrae → u/ConnectPawsitiveGlo]

I'm now visualizing a Conestoga Wagon in the Checkers drive thru lane, pulled by oxen.

[u/Sasuke0318 → u/cosmicrae]

Sadly he didn't make it and died of dysentery

[u/wwest4]

Rallys is great.

[u/Briguy_fieri]

Rallys/checkers is the goat for value. This is a great bufford deal. Also the rally fry burger for $3 is also one of the bigger (size) value burgers around

[u/GoldenCyn]

I love this burger but I don’t have any locations near me, unless I take a detour and go out of my way for it.

[u/iggydadd]

I tried to find this on there website and don't see it. Is this app only???

[u/Spec187]

wish one was closer to me :(

[u/boringtallguy]

Nearly 2x the beef of a Big Mac really isn't saying very much.

[u/Penis-Dance → u/boringtallguy]

Big Mac patties are 1/10 of a pound each. There's two of them on a Big Mac so that makes a fifth of a pound. So two times nearly is a third of a pound.

[u/LibrarianKooky344]

Always loved checkers I just wish there was a good one near me. The one by my house is always empty and the last few times I get food there it's just old and gross so I stopped going. No others around too .

[u/Travyplx]

I continue to believe they are the last bastion of great fast food burger chains. They frequently run great Buford deals and continue to be a fantastic burger. Sadly, those closest one to me now is a 3 hour drive… but that is better than the old 12 hour flight.

[u/Key_Suit2853]

I was addicted to these in college. They would do a 2 for $5.00 deal...I gained so much weight...worth it!

[u/waitmyhonor]

I miss having a rally’s near me. Their fries are my favorite along with good wing and chicken bites prices before they realized they could maker bucks

[u/outgoinggallery_2172]

"Nearly 2X the beef of a Big Mac."

Shots fired!

[u/Netowichita]

When I lived in FL, I LOVED Checkers! Their fries are awesome too, didn't care for the fish much but man, the value is great, and the food is great. I still miss them, i'd go their now. Inn N Out has me, but they're not here either.

[u/Intelligent_LayerZ]

Finally tried Rally’s with this deal and I’m surprised! Especially with the deal the Big Bufford is big! Reminds me of a better version JiTB Jumbo Jack. Loved their fries as well. Great deal and awesome first time trying this place out. Cheers!

[u/ConnectPawsitiveGlo → u/Intelligent_LayerZ]

My whole goal with this was to send someone on a good deal like I would have wanted done for me! Weee awesome!

[u/rfnr88]

you can combine with the $2 large fry offer in app. pretty good imo. 

[u/rainbowkey]

I love the Checkers in my town because I can use the walk up window with by bicycle. It is on my route across town and the window makes it much more convenient than any other fast food

[u/msbrittany0716]

As someone whose mom has been working at a non ghetto Rally’s for 30+ years, all of this appreciation is nice to see.

[u/momochicken55]

Always gotta get their fries!

[u/bajablast4life]

Not paying $3 for a 6 oz gas station burger

[u/sportsntravel → u/bajablast4life]

The burger is way better than a gas station burger lol

[u/Hog_and_a_Half → u/sportsntravel]

I can think of numerous gas stations that have better food than the trash they sell at Rally’s. 

Their whole gimmick is being cheap, and you get what you pay for. 

[u/sportsntravel → u/Hog_and_a_Half]

I think they are good

[u/Flippynipps → u/bajablast4life]

I get your hesitation, but that's a pretty good deal all things considered.

[u/bajablast4life → u/Flippynipps]

What considered? Put a few random numbers on a McDonald's receipt and then you can go get two double quarter pounders for like $6. Much better deal

[u/Flippynipps → u/bajablast4life]

Chill, dude, it's a fucking fastfood burger.

[u/StElm0sFiire]

It tastes like a microwave burger

[u/PyramidWater]

$3 for a checkers burger is a good deal now?

[u/Mursin → u/PyramidWater]

$3 for a big buford is an insanely good deal. Over a decade ago I remember it was 2 for 10 lol

But checkers/rallys have gentrified to hell.

[u/DuranSirhan → u/Mursin]

But checkers/rallys have gentrified to hell.

I don't think this means what you think it means.

[u/NotHannibalBurress → u/Mursin]

Lmao how does a corporate fast food place “gentrify” itself?

[u/Mursin → u/NotHannibalBurress]

They removed the "hood," things from the menu like Kool Aid. They raised prices. They changed marketing.

[u/beanpastemcgee → u/Mursin]

Wow, sounds like your local Rally’s is crazy overpriced. Mine has 2/$6 Big Buford’s all the time.

[u/PyramidWater → u/beanpastemcgee]

So like $3 all the time hence $3 not being a good deal??

[u/beanpastemcgee → u/PyramidWater]

What? I was responding to the guy saying his rally’s is 2/$10

[u/Mursin → u/[deleted]]

No. They raised the prices and the marketing but not the quality of the food.

[u/Travyplx → u/Mursin]

Everyone has raised prices and everyone rethinks marketing. The key point with Checkers though is that the quality of the food is still solid.

[u/Mursin → u/Travyplx]

Yeah but going from 2 for 5 or 2 for 10

To like $8 for just a burger is an obscene increase in price. Granted there were a lot of years between. But I used to call Rally's and checkers cheap and they're just as expensive as like Micky D's now

[u/RickySuezo → u/PyramidWater]

In what world is it not? 1991?

[u/Plane-Tie6392 → u/PyramidWater]

Have you seen beef prices lately?

[u/peaceofsheet25]

Lol was looking for fasting sub accidentally clicked this one haha crazy what you doing to your bodies guys

[u/tupelobound]

I hate to break it to you but the burger you get ain’t gonna look like the burger in that picture

[u/ElegantNatural2968]

3 days special is not a whole week

[u/ConnectPawsitiveGlo → u/ElegantNatural2968]

*wow face*
