We have had many good meals here and recommend it. Service is good and the food is excellent. It is a moderately priced menu and the selections are very good. I love their soups especially. Their pizzas and salads are great. Truly the whole menu is very good.

We have eaten here twice and had take out once on our last two visits to Calistoga. Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals. The atmosphere is relaxed and the wait staff were also very good and accommodating. We would definitely return for a casual dining epxerience.

We have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. We are big fans of the Napa salad followed by the butternut raviolis and a good glass of wine. Other items have also been enjoyable.

We had lunch on what appeared to be a fairly unbusy day. The atmosphere inside was relaxed. The service was attentive and the food arrived quickly. We had the Napa Salad, a portobello sandwich with a cup of black bean soup, and a pasta dish with pesto sauce (including artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoes). All the dishes were very good....

We stayed one night in Calistoga and strolled down Lincoln Ave for a bite to eat & we checked out many different restaurants with pricey menu's. But when we came to Checker's it was very reasonable and when in and we are so glad we did. The service was very good but the food was better. I had the butternut... More

We ate here one evening and would not necessarily recommend it. Our New Orleans chicken was not very crispy on the outside and the plate was piled high with mashed potato and nice, al dente,veg. Just needed a bit of refinement but guess there is not enough competition in Calistoga.

We stayed one night in Calistoga on a road trip through Northern California and ate dinner here. We shared a Calistoga salad, butternut squash ravioli, and mousse and a latte for dessert. The salad (and focaccia) was the best item we ordered. I didn't care for the ravioli being served with smoked chicken - with a cream sauce I think... More

Surprised this was one of top rated places in Calistoga. Plain fare. Ok but not in any way exciting.

Probably one of the top three reliable places in Calistoga. Always excellent pizza and calzones. The pasta's are amazing and the best thing on the whole menu is the Ceaser Salad with Blackened Chicken. Can't go wrong with Checkers for a quality Itallian meal in downtown Calistoga.

We went there for weekend late lunch and were surprised by quality of food. The ambiance is not particular as it is a diner but not so bed as well. My wife got grilled salmon and it was great as well as blanched spinach side dish. She is big foodie so that is great complement. I had a lamb shank... More
