Started in Alabama, but is based in the Tampa bay area. They actually assemble all of the restaurants in a line located in Clearwater that looks sort of like a boat dock that you would assemble boats in.
Rally's used to be a separate restaurant with the same concept. Checkers bought them up and made all of the menus the same.
I don't eat there much anymore because they discontinued the Cajun champ. It was a 1/4 pound with VERY FRESH red onions on it and a spicy sauce. That was a great burger.
If I go to one now, I get the Chicken Strips. Way better chicken than McD, Wendy's and BK and they give you ranch and buffalo sauce. I use the ranch for the chicken and actually use the buffalo sauce for the fries. Trust me. Somehow it works.
