Check's Cafe

"Check's is a neighborhood bar with good food, not a restaurant with a liquor license. I am pretty sure it's family friendly but call first to make sure. I hadn't been here for about 10 years and it's still exactly as I remembered. I had a bowl of chili, no noodles, no onions, extra cheese. It's really good chili. Probably too mild for the hardcore chili enthusiast but perfect for me. They are quite famous for bean soup and their fish sandwich. I would like to discuss other menu items but it's been too long since I was a semi regular and I would get something wrong. Sonya had roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and I think Mac and cheese. She liked it a lot. Everything about Check's is old school. The roast beef was old school sliced roast beef and brought back some memories of my youth. Check's is counter service. Walk up to the bar, place your order and find a seat. They serve the chili from behind the bar but everything else is brought out to the table."

"Awesome place. Super friendly staff. Food was awesome. We came in late with the family but ordered food right before the kitchen closed. Highly recommend!"

"This is a neighborhood restaurant. The place has been long standing and caters to workers and retirees. Not saying this is a bad thing but, you get a lot of hard stares if you don't fit a certain demographic. The menu has a good variety of sandwiches and entrees. The bean soup is superb and the portions are generous. Parking is a challenge. The lot in the rear is small. But there is plenty parking on the adjacent streets. It's good place to get a hardy meal on a cool autumn or cold winter day."

"The bartender, I believe her name was Laura, was soooo sweet, especially to my 3 year old. She got us everything we needed. The food was wonderful. I got a cheeseburger with onion rings (whatever sauce came with that was a little spicy but DELICIOUS) and my boyfriend and so both got cheese sticks."

"Nice menu. Tried a rolled oyster. Very interesting but not for me. Fries are superb. Bourbon options aplenty including the ability to buy bottles, some of which are allocated/hard to find. I recommend checking this place out!"

"Today I broke my normal habit of getting chicken livers and got what it seemed. Everybody else was eating there - chili. It was delicious. I added onion and cheese and spaghetti because that's how I like it and it was absolutely simply perfect. If you want a spicy chili, I would suggest you just add it to your chili because this was not too spicy for me. My friend and I love this place and eat there whenever we can work into our schedules."

"We love it. Food is great, fresh, hot and just right. Service is top notch. They make you feel right at home. Also, the music on Friday night is a great bonus."
