The atmosphere, food and service were excellent. I had a couple of cocktails before dinner and they were perfectly prepared. My appetizer and meal were both delicious. I would definatey return!

Everything we ate was amazing-calamari, beet and goat cheese salad, scallops. duck tacos, pork belly sandwich and sushi grade tuna sandwich which was prepared to our request (lightly seared).

This was our first time at Checkers even though we have lived in Lancaster for over 3 years. We'll definitely be dining there again soon!

I love this restaurant! Just ate their last night -- had duck tacos and an apple salad, both very tasty. And they have a great wines by the glass. They also are so nice for birthdays, it's subtle and you get free sorbet!

My husband and I just moved to Lancaster and Checkers Bistro was our celebratory dinner out. We were delighted with the service and the food.
