Reviews for Checkerboard Pizza Eastside/ Checkerbar in St Paul, MN

Really good papaya salad, a wonderful balance of flavors. It?s very different from Thai style papaya salad so if you?re into... evolving your taste buds don?t miss out. They can customize the spice level, so you can still enjoy the bursts of joy with eachbite without missing the goodness. Pair it with their sticky rice and grilled meats, you are set with a fun, adventurous meal. Read more

BEST PAPAYA SALAD!!! I love their spice level. It?s actually spicy enough to my liking, so be careful when you pick a spice... level! Their chicken wing laab is amazing and so if their beef laab. Actually, I love all their food! Read more

I only gave 1 star because I have to for my review. We order the fried chicken feets and larb. The chicken feet was over fried... to the bone. We couldn't get anything from it besides the over seasoned whatever stuff, that they used. I will not order anyfood from this restaurant again nor recommend anyone to. I'm very disappointed.

Great food, and good area to socialize with friends. I really recommend the fries, papaya salad and their chicken wings/feet. I... consider this place a hidden gem in Saint Paul. For a bar, it definitely has it's own sprinkle when it comes to dining. Ifyou're looking for a nice pleasant experience to try out their food, go early! As more bodies fill up the building, it getsquite loud. Food is always fresh, and made to order. I will be back! Read more

Food was great, service was great. Felt like liquor was on the lower end. I definitely recommend it.

Great place to go for a bite and a beer. It can get crowded on weekends. Go early to avoid the crowd. Lots of good food to try... if you like Hmong food. Read more
