checkers-court-street-0409.jpgBrooklyn Heights is nudging closer to getting some suburban strip mall cred with each new tile that gets laid at the new Checkers restaurant currently under construction at 111 Court Street. McBrooklyn checked in yesterday and found a crew “hard at work.” The space will ultimately have 25 to 30 seats. Are you going to give it a try when it opens? GMAP

  1. With Five Guys a three-minute walk away, the discerning junk food eater will head there. But with the Court Street theater rabble waiting in line for the next Saw movie or what have you while staring at Checkers, it should do just fine.

  2. Wow gourmet fastfood hamburgers in a place where rents are going through the roof! I give 6 months till they go out of business just like all the other hipsters that come to the neighborhood thinking they can conquer the world with their ideas and daddy’s money.

  3. I loooove Checkers, I’ve tried 2 out in Nassau County. The burgers taste really grilled, but not the Benzene Burgers of BK. Wouldn’t expect the staff to be anything but surly and dim-witted, this being downtown Bklyn.

  4. I’m afraid that brain dead staff with no interest whatever in doing their jobs or dealing with their customers is pretty much the universal standard in Downtown Brooklyn.
    It is almost like a government required mandate for all retail employees. A nice worker may be written up and brought up on charges.
