Our group of 6 arrived from a long morning of traveling from a different state to be greeted by a "server" who appeared crabby that we had so many in our party.
She kept mentioning how it was going to freak the cook out.
I used to wait tables for over 10 years so understanding she might have been busy prior to our arrival I let it slide.
We proceeded with drink order and she continued her mentioning of how the cooks were going to freak out.
They offer various types of bruschetta on their menu and the special was cream of mushroom soup so 3 of the 6 ordered bruschetta and oh my goodness she lost her mind..."he isn't going to like that, too many varieties for him to make"...I'm just sitting there trying to keep from telling her we are the customer and blowing my stack. Some ordered soup and it was mentioned they had bread bowls and the waitress lost her mind again, "no we don't just cups and bowls and you know what, all you get is cups today". Like what the devil is wrong with you, you don't have the temperament or personality to wait on people. My daughter whom I supported by myself on a servers salary and tips is looking at me because SHE knows I'm about ready to ask for a manager, I had to walk away.
Long story short, food was great but service...yeah, not so much! She did discount tge bruchetta tickets for the 3 due to one reason or another which was the least she could do, considering her behavior towards us, but we were grateful. We won't be going back. You don't talk to customers that way! Oh, and she was the manager...woof!!

Wow! Mic and Tony took great care of us from the moment we walked in the door. Love it all! The tap wall, homemade soup and fresh bruschetta tasters…SO good! We even played a game of Yahtzee 😊 Unique stop for the Crivitz area.

We ordered two charcuterie boards for events for our daughter’s wedding. The boards were so well done, looked amazing and were delicious. My husband & I also ate lunch there and the sandwiches were outstanding. Owner is super friendly & we enjoyed talking with her.

Absolutely so cute and welcoming! Lovely menu and a relief from standard bar food. The wristband beer is a great option to try different beers. The owner was truly so friendly and gracious, felt like I met an old friend rather than chatting with a stranger. Will be back! Well worth the stop!

This place is delicious!! Up north for the weekend from Madison and this place was a diamond in the rough if you’re looking for something fresh and tasty. Half our party were vegetarian and they made adjustments to multiple items on the menu to accommodate this. The charcuterie board had a number of delicious and unique cheeses and crackers, the bruschetta was so fresh and we ordered the grinder which was so packed full of flavor. As an added bonus the tap wall had a number of beers from the Green Bay area and you couldn’t go wrong with any choice you made - our favorite was the peanut butter chocolate nitro porter. We will definitely be back!

We have been eating here when we visit the area since it opened about 3 years ago. This is not typical small town greasy bar burgers and pizza. It’s legitimately as good as any high end bistro you will find anywhere. Their beer selection isn’t huge but the 8 or so beers on tap are all craft local brews that can be sampled in flights. All menu items we have tried have all been excellent and portion sizes are great. You will not be disappointed by anything they have on the menu. Being a small town, a lot of the restaurants aren’t open year round 7 days a week so check to see if they are open before you go.

Great food and very reasonable prices. The chicken minestrone soup is a great example of the quality; even the zucchini in the soup retained a slight crunch. $4/cup

Herbal tea $1.50

Amazing custom salads I would expect in fancy manhattan cafe but Crivitz prices.

11 different micro brews on tap.

I stopped in for lunch today and this was such a nice little restaurant, the wooden tables with the checkerboard burnt into them was a super cool added touch to the theme of the restaurant. The staff was very friendly. I ordered the chicken pot pie soup, goat cheese and jam bruschetta and Italian sausage and stone ground mustard bruschetta. All the food was excellent and made fresh. I definitely will be back again, thank you again for the great service!

EASILY the best place in town. Fresh and made to order, nothing deep fried, and their self serve tap bar is the ONLY one I have seen north of green bay. Super clean, lovely staff, and the owner is very sweet.
I had the crown sandwich, cabbage soup, a cheese quesadilla and the checkerboard salad. ABSOLUTELY worth the price you pay.
I will definitely return with my foodie friends and fiancee.

I love this little joint! Very much what Crivitz needed. I have family that lives in Crivits and I visit regularly. I was excited to hear from them that a new sandwhich shop opened up.
I LOVE a good fat Sandwhich with all the toppings. And that's exactly what this place delivers. Sandwiches are piled high with quality meats and cheeses.
I came in for the first time and ordered a couple Sandwiches to go. I met the owner while in and we chit chatted while I waited. She is so nice and has such a welcoming personality.
The next day I brought my family back to have dinner there. All 7 of us. Every last Sandwich was top tier.
And omg their Bruscetta is so fresh and sooo good. They have several options and that night we ordered one of each. Highly recommend.
This cafe serves delicious Sandwhiches and tasty bites, accompanied with such a wholesome owner, it's a must.

This experience was second to none! The beer (and rose!) wall was a hit with our group and they took care of our kids with snackies like we were just part of their family!

The salads and sandwiches were incredible. The small charcuterie board was a hit and the bruschetta, well all of them were amazing!

We’ve found our new staple place to visit snd we can’t wait to come back! Cheers!

Stopped for lunch, and we had a full bruschetta board to start. We were able to choose two flavors and got 3 Olive Tapenade and 3 Spicy Italian Sausage(my favorite), Italian brat on a mustard spread. The offer deli sandwiches and salads for main dishes. We choose the Triple Jump, a great rendition of an Italian, and the Rank, your classic Rueben. The sandwiches were freshly made and included a semi sweet cucumber style relish and a pickle. Owners were welcoming, and they offered serve beer taps offer plenty of Wisconsin beers. We will definitely be returning to try more of their wonderful food.

Awesome addition to the food options in Crivitz, WI. I would call it a cross between a bistro and deli. Their sandwiches are phenomenal and the classic bruschetta is to die for. I can't wait to try more items on their menu. Highly recommend.

Visiting our cabin in the Northwoods this weekend and decided to try out this new place, The Checkerboard. Very nicely remodeled location, excellent menu of sandwiches, salads, charcuterie, the best Bruschetta options, and don't forget to try a beer or three! If you are in the area, check out this great spot!
