Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Going back to 2022, Checkers has three inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Feb 26, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around one violation to closer to three violations.

The pattern that stands out is “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material”, which has been cited two times.

Among Bronx restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
