The Checkered Churn - Merrill

Definitely a hiddin in downtown Merrill. Great food and great service

The coffee I ordered was excellent, and the large homemade pastries were delightful as well.

This is a unique hidden gem for food in Merrill. While the prices are on the higher side, the experience is largely worth the cost. However, I would appreciate getting a bit more value at lunchtime, as the sandwiches fall a bit short. The new owner, who comes from an Italian background, is extremely friendly and welcoming. Here's to a bright future for this spot!

My wife and I are chefs, and we highly recommend trying this restaurant. They offer lunch only, with a rotating menu that features a variety of options. You'll find sandwiches, quiches, and a selection of soups. The coffee is excellent, and the service is outstanding.

Great food and drinks with reasonable prices!
