Checkers & Rally’s has officially brought back its fan-favorite Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Bites for a limited time this fall. This indulgent snack, which first tantalized taste buds earlier this year, returns just in time for cozy evenings and seasonal cravings, blending the creamy comfort of cheesecake with the bright pop of fresh strawberries—all wrapped in a crispy, fried exterior.
Imagine this: golden, bite-sized pastry shells, fried to crispy perfection and stuffed with chunks of juicy strawberries mingled with velvety vanilla cheesecake. Each morsel is then finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar for that signature sweet crunch. At just four pieces per order, these bites are designed for sharing—or not, no judgment here. They’re the ultimate guilt-free (okay, semi-guilty) treat to cap off a meal of Checkers’ signature seasoned fries or Rally’s bold burgers.
Priced affordably at around $2.99 for a four-piece serving (prices may vary by location), the Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Bites make for an easy add-on to any drive-thru run. Whether you’re grabbing them solo after a long day or pairing them with the chain’s other seasonal offerings, like the returning Super Loaded Buford, they’re poised to become your new go-to impulse buy.
The bites made their debut in late April 2025, quickly earning rave reviews for their innovative twist on classic cheesecake. Social media buzzed with excitement, from Instagram unboxings to YouTube taste tests that racked up thousands of views in days. One reviewer called them “snack-sized indulgence” that perfectly balances tart fruit notes with rich, fried decadence. By May, they were a staple in limited-time menus, often bundled with deals like GloRilla’s Unbeatable Meal for just $4.
Now, as leaves turn and temperatures dip, Checkers & Rally’s is capitalizing on the item’s popularity with this timely revival. “Creamy, dreamy, and bursting with flavor,” the chain teased on social media earlier this year—and the sentiment holds true for round two. Early adopters are already flocking to locations, with forums like Reddit lighting up over the news of their return.
Available now at participating Checkers & Rally’s locations nationwide, these bites won’t stick around forever—so act fast. Use the chain’s app or website to check availability at your local spot, and keep an eye out for drive-thru exclusives that make snagging a batch as effortless as it is delicious.
In a world of endless pumpkin spice everything, the Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Bites offer a fresh, fruity escape that’s fried, fabulous, and fleeting. Head to your nearest Checkers or Rally’s before they’re gone—your sweet tooth will thank you.
