Checkers & Rally’s, known for its Famous Seasoned Fries and bold flavors, announced the debut of its $5 Pretzel Pubster Combo, a new burger meal that emphasizes both indulgence and affordability.
The limited-time combo features the Pretzel Pubster Burger, which includes two beef patties layered with melted beer cheese and bacon crumbles, American cheese, mayonnaise, and crispy onions on a toasted pretzel bun. The meal comes with fries and a small drink for $5.
Scott Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer at Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc., said the new combo offers “pub-style indulgence without the pub price,” highlighting the company’s continued focus on value-driven menu options.
The fall menu expansion also introduces several new items, including the BBQ Pretzel Buford, a larger burger stacked with two beef patties, bacon, crispy onions, American cheese, Sweet & Smoky BBQ sauce, and mayo on a pretzel bun, priced at $7.49.
For dessert, Checkers & Rally’s is adding Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Bites, featuring strawberry pieces and cheesecake filling inside a crispy pastry shell, sold in packs of four for $2.99.
Wing lovers can also find new Classic Wings at $1 each, now available with Frank’s Stingin’ Honey Garlic Sauce.
In addition to the new menu, the chain has launched a NASCAR-themed promotion offering customers a chance to win a Daytona 500 VIP Experience. The sweepstakes, running through January 4, 2026, gives participants the opportunity to win two grandstand tickets, pit access, Delta flight vouchers, catered hospitality, and a $1,000 Visa gift card.
Johnson said the brand’s seasonal rollout aims to bring “more excitement — whether that’s in your meal or your next big win.”
