Culinary Highlights & Menu Variety
At the core of Cheers Bistro’s appeal is its approachable menu, featuring everything from classic sandwiches to rotating daily specials. Signature dishes have earned a loyal following:
• Breakfast Buffet & Omelette Station
The all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is a highlight for families and early risers. Priced at just $15, it’s celebrated as “one of the most reasonably priced buffets we have ever attended.” Made-to-order omelettes, fluffy scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, cereals, and pastries ensure there’s something for every taste. Parents appreciate how “the staff is beyond kind to [their] kids,” making weekend mornings both fun and stress-free.
• Cubano Sandwich & Tomato Bisque
Lunch regulars swear by the oversized Cubano—“legitimately 5 inches wide and 14 inches long”—served alongside the restaurant’s rich, creamy tomato bisque. This flavor combination has become a go-to recommendation for those seeking a satisfying midday meal.
• Daily Lunch & Dinner Specials
From rotating pasta dishes to market-fresh salads, the daily specials keep the menu feeling fresh. One guest called them “a hidden gem—be sure to ask about them!” However, some patrons wish for an even broader selection of entrées on the dinner menu.
Even with mixed feedback on certain items—like a “charcuterie board [that] looked like it was unwrapped directly from the grocery store”—the overall taste profile leans positive. Crispy wings, seasoned fries, and hearty salads often receive high marks, providing reliable comfort classics that showcase the kitchen’s strengths.
Value & Flexible Pricing
Pricing at Cheers Bistro reflects both affordable value and premium experiences. The breakfast and lunch buffets earn unanimous praise for affordability and abundance. A guest noted, “Lunch buffet for $15 ... great deal.” Yet, some dinner entrées and specialty cocktails can feel steep—“It is extremely overpriced. My drinks were both over $10”—a point to consider if you’re budget-conscious. Still, many find that the attentive service and quality ingredients justify an occasional splurge.
Inviting Atmosphere & Convenience
Cheers Bistro strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and refined. Patrons describe the dining room as “nice intimate atmosphere, quiet, nice crowd,” while highlighting impeccably maintained facilities—“Bathrooms are immaculate.” Soft lighting, comfortable seating, and tasteful décor create a welcoming backdrop for business breakfasts, family gatherings, or after-work unwinding.
Convenience extends beyond the dining room. Located adjacent to the Santander Arena, Cheers Bistro is an ideal pre- or post-show spot. Guests appreciate the hassle-free parking: “Park at the DoubleTree. Get the parking code from the bartender,” who will validate your garage ticket for free.
Signature Cocktails & Dessert-Style Drinks
Cheers Bistro’s bar program offers inventive cocktails that have become local legends:
• “Gin around the Rosie” by Tina
Bartender Tina’s “killer drink” balances gin, rose syrup, and fresh strawberry notes. One patron declared it “so delicious,” calling it a must-try for any gin lover.
• Dirty Snowball Martini
This playful, dessert-style martini has a cult following. Guests rave, “The Dirty Snowball martini was awesome,” praising its creamy texture and memorable flavor profile.
With a curated selection of spirits, wines, and craft beers, the bar team is always ready to recommend a perfect pairing for your meal or to surprise you with an off-menu creation.
