  We were in town for a family reunion and decided to meet at the Checkerboard for lunch before gathering later that afternoon. My husband and I arrived early and ordered bloody Mary's at the bar. They were tasteless and the celery garnish was anemic. Once seated our server got a little flustered trying to remember all 11 orders. I ordered clam chowder. The absolute worst I have ever had. It tasted like onion soup with cream. I returned that order and asked for the soup of the day, chicken rice. I'm not sure there actually was any rice in it and all of the veggies were mush. It was like the soup pot had been on the heat for a couple of days. Three of the kids, the youngest in our group, ordered pizza which took an extra 20 minutes to come out after the rest of our food. My husband had a chicken parm sandwich. He said that there was barely any cheese on it and the marinara sauce had zero flavor. The kitchen was unable to handle a large party all at once and the cook needs to come up with new recipes. I honestly do not know how this place survives.

  This was the first restaurant my family went to after we moved into the area in 2000, and we never stopped coming. Nice variety, soups and salads to pizza and pasta, convenient location and friendly staff are pluses.

  I have been to this place a few times for lunch. The food isn't great but even worse they steal your money. The last time I was in I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap for lunch (I sat in the restaurant) the price on the menu said $10.50 and it came with a side, which I told my waitress I wanted to substitute for Sweet potato fries. When I received my lunch, I had been given reg fries and sweet potato ones. The waitress said to me "I'm not sure why they served you both, but that's okay, you can keep them" I thought okay the cook made a mistake. When I received the bill, I was charged $11.50 for the wrap and an extra $2.95 for the sweet potato fries, and when I asked the waitress she said "the wrap doesn't come with a side and you ordered sweet potato fries so I charged you for that." and I responded with "so a wrap alone cost $11.50?" (why does the menu say something different) and she said Yes. I felt like they were just nickel and diming me. I ended up spending $20 for a wrap, 2 side of fries (which I didn't ask for) and a drink. That is too expensive for lunch. The worst part was when I got to work I told me co-workers of my experience and they said they had also been fooled by being charged for the extra fries (but only wanting one order) That is something I will not except. I am not asking for free food, but also don't try and trick me into feeling I need to pay for extra food I essentially didn't ask for/want. I will NEVER go back. The waitress didn't even try to make it right. It was like she was part of it. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS PLACE AND ALWAYS CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!!
