Cheers Lakeside Bar & Grill

Nice idea for having a restaurant on the lake. Bad idea when customers can’t get through Badin Shores to come eat. Will have to try it another time when we can access it by water. Wish there was a way to see updates on the days they won’t allow restaurant passes before driving all the way out there.

Very slow service, not enough staff.

Friday evening, 6:30. Two tables occupied. 4 people waiting for order to go, including myself. As I waited I witnessed the other take out orders were ALL screwed up, every one of them. When my order came, sure enough it was messed up too. It was a pizza. The pizza was no better than a frozen pizza from DG. To top it off( no pun intended) the waitress simply shrugged and didn’t offer a solution except that I wait another 30 minutes for a re-do. No thanks. This place used to be Cheere and was recently bought by new owners. It’s call Joey’s. It should be called Jokey’s.
I will not be back.

Great place to eat and enjoy friends..

For many many years, Cheers (and before that, The White House) was a place both residents and visitors of Badin Lake loved dearly. Cheers was truly the epitope of the tagline from the show “where everybody knows your name”. It says a lot about a business that is small but mighty. Somewhere that you feel welcomed and important as a customer. The restaurant, the staff, and the customers were the heart of Badin Lake and this was somewhere folks could go to watch a game, play music bingo, hear live music, aong karaoke, and gather with friends and family year round.

Unfortunately, over the past few weeks, this has all changed drastically. Cheers no longer offers any form of entertainment, no live music, no karaoke, no music bingo, no TVs. I think we can all agree that when you purchase a business that was already a fully operational entity, you may want to put your own personality and spin on things, but sadly that was taken too far. The least you can do is ask your “new” employees that have been at Cheers & the White House for YEARS, about what works and what doesn’t work well at the establishment….they know this place…well, they did.

I won’t be returning back to Cheers. I hate to see another great local spot crash and burn but when you turn on the staff and the community, this is the end result. They have lost my business. Really unfortunate.

The bartender Sam is absolutely nothing but the best.
Wish there was a more available seating where the stage and the bar are. It gets very over crowded very fast.

Waited an hour for food. Husband ordered chili and I ordered turkey on croissant. Informed 30 minutes later croissant bread was old. Then ordered chicken quesadilla. Waited another 30 minutes. Waitress was very helpful and nice. Manager ignored us. We live on lake too, but won't be going back.

First time being there and I had a good time! Andy and poppy are the owners and got the privilege to meet them. great people and fun to hangout with. fun time and looking forward to going back.

First, this restaurant is in the middle of a private gated lakeside trailer community. It's a very nice area. You just pull up to the gate, tell them you're going to Cheers and show them your drivers license. Second, the restaurant and staff are very nice. The view of the lake and boats on the pier is beautiful. Parking is a bit limited, but that's to be expected in a private community. They have parking for golf carts too. Also, they have a stage in the bar area for live bands. Finally, I wasn't impressed with the food. My shrimp was way over fried to the point of being chewy. My friend got a "patty melt". But it was really just a couple hamburger patties on dry Texas toast. Both dishes tasted okay. But they could have been so much better. I'm sure there are other things they offer that are much better. Maybe we just ordered outside their wheelhouse.

Kid-friendliness: It's a lake community restaurant. Definitely kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on level with the parking lot. But being right on the banks of the lake, the lot has a decent slope to it. Not impossible for a wheelchair. Just gotta be careful.

Still love this place. Poppi is the best. Any negative reviews come from folks who have entitlement issues.

Food and drinks are always great and staff is super helpful
