Today was my second time visiting Checkers Deli & Cafe and I think I found my place for breakfast and lunch. Their portions are generous and the entire team is very efficient. You can mark my words when I say your food will come out in less than 2 minutes. I was feeling bold today and I ordered the kimchi and bulgogi wrap and let me tell you, IT WAS THE BEST BULGOGI BURRITO I HAD!!! I'm excited to try rest of their menu as I keep coming but I would highly recommend this deli if you are looking for a quality, quick, and delicious breakfast and lunch!

A worker's cafe, not associated with Checker's Drive Thru. Open 6am-3pm M-F (weekends IDK). Mostly take-out, some tables for eat-in. More expensive than McD's, but made to order so it's hot and tasty.

4/5! Great spot for breakfast and lunch! After one of my favorite deli's closed down, I had to look for a new one. Found out about Checkers Deli and Cafe through Yelp and I'm glad I did! The Food: For lunch, I went with a classic cheesesteak and fries. The cheesesteak was delicious! The meat was quality and the cheese paired with it was delicious. The portions are great as well, it won't leave you hungry tat's for sure. The Their food options are very well priced out as well. The Service: Staff were very friendly. They had our orders out fairly quickly even with a lunch rush. No complaints. Overall, a 4/5! A great spot if you're looking for a good breakfast or lunch meal. I'll be back again, that's for sure!
