Including pictures. * Ordered loaded onion rings - 5 jalapenos on top with a few bacon bits? * Ordered kids fish and chips for son - came out as chicken fingers. * Coleslaw that came with the "fish and chips" was rancid. Wife luckily took a bite and spit it out before my son did. I took a whiff of it. Beyond spoiled. I dont mind food tasting different for everyone, that's the fun of trying. But I draw the line at serving rotten food. Drinks are pretty good though! *Update I'll try again in a year. And no, didn't talk to the manager, this was takeout I ordered for the family.

The dark sour has a 'creme' after taste. The award winning Duchovini tastes just like Pilsner Urechel . Full food menu, with a mexi twist. Tots and classic bar food too. Live music...

We are not beer people, but we both found something on the menu that we liked - bf got the margarita and I got the cosmo - both were pretty good! They do not have liquor due to them being a brewery fyi. The food..... DELICIOUS!! We got the beef nachos, the beef was excellent and the chips were nice and crispy. The smash burger was juicy and flavorful, and I loved the big thick cut steak fries! The chicken taco was great as well! The standout for us was the churros. They were perfection, crispy on the outside warm and gooey on the inside. We will definitely be back!

We saw pictures on yelp about their different flavors of margaritas. The passionfruit margaritas were amazing! Paige was the bartender and she is top notch.

We'll be back to try the smash burger. For now the homemade fried pickles were so good! The cowboy butter ranch put it over the edge. We'll be back!

Always a great chill vibe with the low lighting, and love the visible pizza oven. One of our favorite spots in Hudson! We will definitely be back.

The restaurant was also hosting a teacher appreciation event where teachers ate free which I thought was amazing of them even though I'm not a teacher. We had to wait a bit due to the demand that evening but it was not bad to stroll around a bit. They had pretty diverse staff and they were all very friendly and seemed committed to the restaurant and good service. They also seemed to know the menu quite well and proud that the restaurant makes everything from scratch! I got chimmichuri steak flat bread and my friend got a salad. We shared the seasoned fries. I would not think of these flat breads as pizza. Once you've mentally made that jump, the food is really good. I enjoyed it and it was a good amount as well. My friend also ordered food to go for her partner and our server was great to helping us time that order so it was ready for when we were leaving and still hot. Amazing service with great food and cute neighborhood.

Back for Seconds: A Review of Checkerboards Restaurant & Bar in Judson, MA…read more​The Verdict: Round two, and I'm still here. That has to count for something, right? ​I returned to Checkerboards recently, mostly to confirm that the deliciousness of my first visit wasn't just a hunger-induced hallucination. I am happy to report that the pizza remains structurally sound and emotionally supportive. ​Here's the breakdown of the second outing: ​The Atmosphere: It has that classic "I'm here to eat 2,000 calories and I don't care who sees me" energy. It's cozy, it's bustling, and the checkered decor is still successfully keeping me from forgetting the name of the establishment. ​The Food: I dove into the pizza again because I'm a creature of habit and change scares me. The crust had that perfect "crunch-to-chew" ratio that scientists should really be studying more closely. It's the kind of pizza that makes you consider ordering a second one just to have as a pillow for the inevitable food coma. ​The Service: The staff is impressively fast. I'm convinced they have a psychic link with the kitchen. My drink arrived before I even fully realized I was thirsty, which is either great service or light sorcery. ​The "Second Visit" Realization: You know a place is good when you spend the entire car ride there debating if you should try something new, only to panic and order exactly what you had last time because the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out... on that specific sauce) is too real. ​Final Thought: If you see me there a third time, don't be alarmed. Just pass the parmesan and mind your business. ​Rating: 5/5 Stars. I'll be back for round three once my treadmill forgives me.

We knew things were going to go down hill when a simple lemonade tasted terrible. Three of the meals were Alfredo and it was awful the cheese looked curdled. I never seen it were it looked chunky. Don't waste your money and if you do go to the bar first to prepare your self and maybe you won't notice how bad it is. It cost me over 200 dollars just to watch people not eat and have to go elsewhere to eat. Their cook is terrible shrimp was so over cooked it was dried out. How they servived 30 years is beyond belief. I guess people know how to prep at the bar before they eat
