Review by Marge Christiansen

September 10, 2024

Check's Cafe is an absolute gem in Louisville! 🎉 The atmosphere is cozy and filled with friendly faces, giving it that classic diner vibe. I visited for trivia night and was impressed by the lively crowd!

I ordered the chili cheese dog, which hit the spot with its comfort food charm, plus the fried pickles were amazing! My friends loved their Buffalo chicken sandwich and those crunchy fries.

One tip: skip the fish sandwich - definitely less impressive. Overall, great service and fantastic cocktails make it a must-visit spot! 🍻
