    Great serving staff! The food was nice and hot and the drinks were cold, but it wasn’t as good as we hoped for. The steak nachos were good, and the stuffed burger wasn’t anything special. The outdoor patio is unfortunately the smoking lounge for inside guests so wouldn’t recommend it for outside dining.

    Review Date: July 23rd, 2018 I normally start a blog post with a cheeky comment. Does this count? On the weird day that was this day, my friend and I needed a place to eat. We agreed that a nice burger sounded good, so we pulled up Yelp and found one with great reviews. Off we went to try Cheeks! Upon entering, I noticed the bar had a warm and friendly feel to it. It has the vibe that I like in a bar. Chill and relaxed. The bar area itself is nice and has a large display of alcohol to pick from. The dining area was large. It felt like it was a restaurant at one point that was converted into a bar. There is a small area for gaming machines and another small area for darts. There is a beer garden so if you want to wine and dine outside, you can. We came here for a burger and the good reviews, so let’s talk about the food. We scoured over the menu and were surprised how small the selection was. Not that its a bad thing, but was surprised by the limited selection. We both settled on a cheese burger. Pepperjack for me and American for her. Mine came with some chips. I expected some homemade chips, but they were Lays. Meh, I’m not a fan of Lays, but I digress. My friend ordered sweet potato tater tots with her burger. We were excited to try the tots as we both have never seen them offered anywhere before. The tots did not live up to our excitement to try them. They tasted a bit gooey on the inside; like a cheese ball or something. So the tots were bad, but how were the burgers? They were also bad. We both agreed that the burger was lacking in flavor and wow-factor. Definitely a bummer to our stomachs. Looking around the bar, it was obvious this was a pretty hopping place to be. Beer posters advertised fun events to attend and bands playing live music. Maybe it was an off day or maybe we just ordered the combination of wrong things. I want to say Cheeks is deserving of the great reviews but I would have to come back a few more times to agree with them.

    The food was decent but our group didn't like that the sandwiches came with bagged chips, like you would get in a fast food place.

    Always a great stop. Cozy place with great burgers! Nice family atmosphere and very friendly staff. We love coming here in the winter because they have a heated outdoor area where we can smoke cigars. We also really enjoy the fact they have the Golden Tee game.

    Cozy neighborhood bar. Mature crowd. Quiet, away from the more rowdy college joints.

    We had a group of 6 on a Monday evening, it seemed like we were a bother for the waitress. We were the only table, other handful of patrons were at the bar. We had appetizers and a few beers, when we finally could get the attention of the waitress.
