TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Checkers & Rally's, home of Famous Seasoned Fries and bold, crave-worthy flavor, is raising the bar on value with its newest lineup of over-the-top, pub-inspired flavors.

Pub Fare from the Drive-Thru: The $5 Pretzel Pubster Combo
For a limited time, fans can get the new Pretzel Pubster Burger — made with two 100% beef hamburger patties, topped with melted beer cheese with bacon crumbles, American cheese, mayo, and crispy onions, all served on a toasted pretzel bun — as part of a complete meal for just $5.

The combo includes the brand's iconic Famous Seasoned Fries and a small soft drink, proving once again that Checkers & Rally's delivers real flavor and real value without compromise.

Priced at $7.49, it's a craveable upgrade for anyone looking to turn mealtime into me-time. Price and participation may vary.
