The Checkerboard Inn Bar and Grill had a large crowd when we arrived on a Friday night around 6:30 p.m. Fortunately, a party had just left, and we were seated in one of about ten booths that lined the two walls of the dining room. The bar was in anotherroom, and I overheard there was no seating remaining. Each booth had a hanging ceiling lamp representing an NFL team (and onethat displayed Penn State). Pictures of classic pinball scoreboards were posted above a personal TV set so people can watchcable television while they eat, if they choose to do so. A friendly server took our drink order (water and a Yards BrawlerDark Ale) as we looked over the menu, finally deciding on a soft pretzel as...
Tried to go have a nice lunch on the patio?stood there for 10 minutes while multiple servers walked by and didn?t want to seat us. Went and sat down on our own and was then ignored by the two servers working the patio for additional 5 minutes. Rudeworkers killing your business!!! Decided to walk up to TC Reilly?s instead where we actually were greeted and seated.Checkerboard apparently doesn?t want our money with their rude and lack or service. Will never go back.
Are you trying to get a nice lunch on the terrace? stood there for 10 minutes while several servers came by and did not want to sit down. Went and sat on our own and was then ignored by the two servers that the terrace for another 5 minutes. Rude workers kill your business!!! Decided to go to TC Reilly instead of where we actually welcome and sit. Checkerboard obviously does not want our money with its rude and lack or service. Will never go back.

We had a funeral dinner at Checkerboard Inn. The food was excellent and the service was extremely professional. The price was right. We were all very satisfied and recommend to come after checkerboard.
Server was very nice. I have some great nachos and a delicious cheese steak with some points. Bar is great with a lot of beer on Hahn. The deck outside is also very beautiful, especially in autumn
