They're the same restaurants, it's like a Hardees/Carl's Jr situation

It's checkers in most of the south and eastern seaboard, rallys in the midlands and west coast (except a really weird enclave in north Carolina, I think)

If you ever get a chance to stop by one, get the chicken bites and fries box, period

It cannot be beat

I have lived in my neighborhood since April 2018, and today, for the first time, I saw someone walk out of the Checkers next to the train stop near my apartment. I'm stunned.

I’ve never seen a Checkers, but I’ve also never seen a Rally’s with an inside either.

I am fairly certain back in the 90’s I was in a Rally’s and it had a counter that you could order at, but no seating. I could possibly be misremembering though.

The one's I've seen I can't remember having an inside beyond the kitchen, maybe newer ones do. Typically, I think they have a drive through, a walk-up counter, and some small patio area with picnic table style outdoor seating. Think like several cement tables and chairs with some umbrellas or maybe an overhang or something like that.

Yeah, that’s what I remember about Rally’s too. The cement patio thing.

Looks like there may some random spots with an interior that you can eat in. This was not the place I was at though. Mine was in Cleveland.

E: It is shared with a gas station, so it isn’t a regular Rally’s.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The Rallys I go to the most has 2 drive thru windows and 2 walkup windows and is is about the total size of my tiny living room.

I've lived a bunch all up and down the east coast, in my experience the walk-ups with the outdoor patio are a mostly southern thing, but the northeast and any city based establishment tend towards indoor eat-ins

My regular one in Brooklyn was an indoor, but they actually also had the outdoor patio behind the building in a weird courtyard that you have to walk down a long-rear end hallway to get to

I don't think I ever saw anyone use that patio once

When I went to Rally's earlier in th e week they had an automated drive through voice prompt.

Considering half my job it seems is calling tech support for big companies, and that I've been dealing with both insurance and cell phone and cable issues a lot lately, I legit almost just drove off I'm so tired of dealing with these loving things but in pandemic times i"m in Phoenix 1 to 2 times a year so it was my only chance to have Rallys.

They sell the fries in grocery stores these days; top tier if you’re doing your own burgers at home

The fries at rallys are Different in a way that I can't explain. Even when properly salted (to all hell) like the restaurant it doesn't taste the same. It's gotta be their gutter oil they fry them in
