    Swiss onion burger, already ate the onion on top
    Steve A.

    Prowling around the back roads of central PA, I started to feel a mite peckish. And when you feel peckish in the middle of nowhere, good luck! Because the first few towns I went through had nothing. I could have knocked on someone's door... but no, I think I prefer an actual meal. Finally got to Mount Union, and spied an unassuming local establishment. Those are always the best, and Checker's is no exception! The prices are a throwback to days of old. It feels like a nice diner inside, friendly service, casual warm ambiance, a place that never really made it out of the '80s, and once you're there, you won't feel like it ever needs to change. In addition to paying less, you get a good quantity of delicious, fresh-grilled food, made to your liking - I asked for and received my burger medium-rare. So when you're hungry and you're in the middle of PA, plug Mount Union into your GPS and come on over to Checker's to fill you up right!

    The big Dixon. A MUST try.

    The place is very family oriented and the prices are great. Selling breakfast all day is a great big plus. Staff is friendly and on spot

    The servers are always super nice and the food is really good. It's worth the trip to get out of the house. I recommend the breakfast.

    Try to call and order something and they don't answer the phone. Not recommended to order from there. Very annoying

    Cool looking spot. Reminds of a Cracker Barrel. The menu is extensive and what I ordered was very…read moregood. Crab/chicken wrap with FF. It was excellent. So was the cheesesteak egg roll. My food did come out 15 minutes later than my pal. Was kinda weird. My only complaint is their service process. You have to go up and order at the bar your food and drink. Yep! Spent $50. By myself and I had to stand in line if I wanted another drink/water or if I needed anything that wasn't on the table. Asking questions about the menu you have stand in line. Ridiculous process. They lose 2 stars for that alone. A restaurant/bar is about the food/drink and service. They only have half of that right. I hope they change this. I've been in the service industry most of my life and it's one of two things. 1. Servers/bartenders cannot handle doing both tasks. Or. 2. They're lazy and rather make you wait.

    Went twice over the weekend, both Saturday night and Sunday night. Order at the counter/bar, and…read morethey let you know when your meal is ready for pick up. Casual dining, decent sandwich and appetizer selections. Saturday night had a DJ, and the crowd switched from older adults at 6 to younger adults as the evening went on. Large dining area, with large and small tables, seat yourself. Price was reasonable, under $50 with beer and meal for two. Full bar. Large parking if you include the market lot, which is plenty. Side entrance in addition to to front door, and some patio seating, although it was snowing on Sunday.
