Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Inspectors have visited Checkers five times, with records going back to 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Sep 2, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around two violations each.

The pattern that stands out is “anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided”, which has been cited five times.

Compared to the broader Queens restaurant scene, where the average is 75, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
