Checkers® & Rally's® Welcomes Spring with Mushroom Mania Across Burgers and Sides

Celebrate New Menu Items and Everyday Wins with the new $5 Meal Deal (with Mushrooms on Top) at Participating Locations for a Limited Time

TAMPA, Fla., March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Checkers & Rally's, an iconic drive-thru restaurant chain known for flavorful, craveable food at a great value, invites all burger fans to feel like winners with its expanded line-up of mushroom-infused burgers and sides along with a new $5 Meal Deal that's sure to satisfy any craving and the wallet, all for a limited time.

For the diehard mushroom lover, treat yourself to Checkers & Rally's new Fried Mushroom Buford featuring two of its largest 100 percent hand-seasoned beef hamburger patties topped with Swiss cheese, crispy battered fried baby portobello mushrooms, savory mushroom sauce and caramelized onions on a toasted bakery-style bun. If that weren't enough, grab your side of fried mushrooms to complete – and taste – the ultimate 'mushroom in your mouth' experience.

Checkers & Rally's also commemorates the season with a new $5 Meal Deal. Choose between a fully dressed Checkerburger (or Rallyburger) loaded with fresh toppings or, for a limited time, a Mushroom Swissburger, plus eight white meat Chicken Bites, a small order of its Famous Seasoned Fries – long recognized as the #1 Most Craveable Fries in America* – and a 16-ounce drink. The Mushroom Swissburger is part of the $5 Meal Deal for a limited time, and includes Checkers & Rally's hand-seasoned 100 percent beef hamburger patty topped with melty swiss and savory mushroom sauce on a sesame seed bun. It can also be ordered as part of a small, medium or large combo meal (including both fries and a drink).

"If you love a good bang for your buck with mushrooms on top, Checkers & Rally's $5 Meal Deal has you covered," said Ryan Joy, Senior Director of Menu Development at Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. "Our Fried Mushroom Buford is made with Baby Bella mushrooms, which is a juvenile version of the Portobello mushroom. Experience our latest burgers packed with the biggest punch (with or without a healthy dose of mushroom deliciousness) for just a few bucks; now is the time to satisfy your craving as these deals won't last long."
