Cheers--Faneuil Hall

Great Atmosphere, Friendly Service, BUT Awful Food!

by jbf109 at Citysearch

While visiting from California, we went to Cheers because my girlfriend wanted to see both locations. We ate at the Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall location and the food was just awful. The burger I got was the worst I can remember having in a long time. She got potato skins that were bland and had about 3 bits of bacon on them and a salad that should have been called a soup because it had so much dressing in it. Even the Coke was flat!

Overall, this was a disappointing experience. If you want to see Cheers, just get a beer and a T-shirt and then go to one of the many eateries in Quincy Market for food that will be far more satisfying.

• Pros: Atmosphere, Location, Friendly Service
• Cons: High Price and Awful food

Cheers in Quincy Market is a nice place to eat. It's not the best place if you're looking for a fancy, formal meal, but its wonderful for a casual lunch or dinner with good food and a relaxed atmosphere. There are also several tv's to watch when sporting events are going on.

• Pros: Good food in a friendly atmosphere.
• Cons: A little pricey and service can sometimes be slow.

I live in Allston and was visiting a friend who just moved to boston. My boyfriend and I wanted to take him somewhere touristy and he went on some tour which gave him 15% of a meal at Cheers so we decided to go there. First of all, it seemed like everyone but our waitress came by to tell us that she would be there soon to take our order. It was a wednesday night, and only 4 other tables were full. Another waitress was actually nice enough to get us drinks. When our waistress finally did come, she promptly demanded rudely "what do you want to eat?". Then when I asked her if she could tell me if the clams were whole belly or just strips, she stared at me blankly and said "No, I don't know" without consulting the cook or anyone else. So I ordered the swordfish. She came by only to give us our meal and to see if we were going to order more beer to fatten up our check. We were so hungry by that time we just wolfed everything down but you can be sure we will not ever be coming here ever again. The food was mediocre at best, which was worsened by the fact that our waitress was a complete idiot.

• Pros: outdoor dining
• Cons: service, service, service
