Cheers of Ramona

$16 basic 1/2 lb cheese burger that doesn't come with fries and the meat doesn't have a lot of flavor. Ribeye steak special had some Italian herb on it that didn't taste right and rather chewy and dry. No salad or vegetable with the steak dinner but was on special for $17. Not sure if the burger hype is compromising the place but the group of us was in agreement on the food. Great local spot and many people like it so check out for yourself.

This is the kind of bar in atmosphere along with service that I remember as a child growing up in San Diego when my dad would take me to the bars. Now under 21 could not sit at the bar, but that was OK because there was an ex exclusion if you were eating food. The service for the drinks, the food that came out of the kitchen and the price was awesome. I just feel so sad that it’s so far away to drive from La Mesa up to Ramona just to go get a couple of beers and a fantastic cheeseburger and onion rings. But if I’m ever in that neighborhood again, it’s guaranteed I’m stopping in and eating and drinking.

One of the best Burgers in San Diego! Always on point the burgers and fries here are really good and I come here every chance I get . Hard to beat . They had live a band today

Staff is professional and polite. It's a nice little dive Bar on the out skirts of Ramona California. Food is amazing have one of the best burgers in the area. Matt and Micheal are the owners they make you feel welcome. 5 stars for bar staff 5 stars for amazing food. 5 stars for bands Has pool tables. I highly recommend this little bar. I will be back when I can

Great old fashion corner bar (minus the corner). Fun company, great bingo games, the menu is great.

If you ever I find yourself going through Ramona or just want something to do I highly recommend trying Cheers. The drive through Mt. Woodson into this quaint little town is amazing. The vineyards, food, shopping and people are non to other! Enjoy! ☺️

A delicious French toast brunch at 11am on a Sunday with a strawberry sherbet mimosa! 😝 Yum! Not only was this a huge serving of food but everything came out fresh and tasty. And, my eggs came out fantastic 😭 I love a good egg and they definitely did it justice. Loved the environment as well. Games, classic rock and a perfect breeze.

The food is good the problem is everything else. The prices are really absurd and the restaurant is gross and smells damp and moldy. The owners have been visiting other restaurants in town and throwing temper tantrums. They even showed up to our Veterans of Foreign Wars organization and demanded they stop playing live music for the veterans until they could produce a permit. They also did that to farm stands and wineries in the area. These guys really don’t know how to have a good time, they’re looking for any reason to start trouble. Best steer clear if you know what’s good for you. The picture is of a burger you’ll pay almost 40 bucks for

First time here , came to hang out with family and play music bingo . It's definitely a divey bar and grill with personality. They also have pool tables . When pulling into the parking lot , take it slow if you value your car . It's a bit rough , more made for trucks . Inside has bar charm . Friendly staff ( they were short handed when we went ) a bit of slow service , but to be expected. We ordered burgers and sweet potato fries . Burger was good , but then again we were starving , still fresh and decent size . Sweet potato fries were really good ! We had to get up to get drink refills . Music is LOUD ... I would sit away from the speaker . We we're definitely too close .. lesson learned . Overall a fun place to go hang out , play bingo and hang with family . They have a large bar for those that like a drink or two . I will definitely be back .

Hey Ramonians I going to share a secret, we just discovered last night. First, went to the Farmer's Market on 7th, next to the Grange building. Small opening night, but some pretty good deals. Great Lemon Blue cake and free dried candy. But, for dinner, we stopped at Cheers on Main. Hadn't been there for a while. The sign out front said Bingo night. Hadn't played in a long time so that's cool. But, what was even better, when you stop for the best Hamburgers in Ramona? Bingo night Thursday, is also half price night for all Hamburgers! So, two great burgers on brioche buns in 13 or so styles, basket of super garlic fries and two draft beers for under $50. Can't beat it!

Great burgers, huge and delicious. Fun place and welcoming place. Friendly service and yummy tots!

Cheers of Ramona It's such a special establishment! It's a husband and wife team who run the show which makes it super fun to support The food is out of this world. Get the onion rings - you won't regret it. The hospitality stunning! We'll be back!

Happy Hour (4-6pm) has the cheapest beer in town. The people are friendly and the food is great. I had a fully loaded hot dog (Wed Special) and some fries. The hot dog was one of the best in San Diego. I would say the fries are the best in San Diego! Cheers serves and proper cut and they are well cooked and seasoned. You need to try these fries.

Greatest vibes, best bartenders, awesome cocktails. A great place that makes you feel like you're at home with great friends.

If you want the best onion rings, fried zucchini, and burgers in Ramona while playing music bingo (free to play) on Thursdays or singing karaoke Fridays... go to Cheers. 2 pool tables, lots of seating, good food, lots of screens playing sportsball, and friendly staff.

The owner should be less worried about singing karaoke and more worried about running the actual bar

Such a great place. Nothing bad to say! Much more welcoming than the Barn! Delicious beer on tap and hot and fresh food! Kind people inside. Lots to look at and laugh about. A great place to take a load off

I called about Happy Hour for Taco Tuesday and they said they DID have a Taco Tuesday Happy Hour . $3 beef tacos and $6 Chicken tacos. Ouch!

Dark, loud, and divey with cold beer and fantastic burgers! A favorite post-hike treat for us on a weekend afternoon. I can't attest for the night scene, but during daylight hours you will usually find a scattering of locals and possibly a few bikers taking a break from their ride back from Julian. My favorite burger is the Juicy Lucy - always delicious and dripping with toppings and cheese. Pair that with a cold beer and dome tater tots, and i'm in heaven!

I live this place. First time here. Friendly service and people all talk to each other. Like Cheers the TV show :) My burger was great and my onion rings were amazing. Might have to make it my Sunday ritual.

Great place to grab a bite and play a few games of pool. I suggest you get the patty melt, or come down on Monday Steak nights.

Pretty cool spot to grab some beers. They have a good selection on tap, some TVs with sports playing and a couple of pool tables. Not sure if thats free or not but it appeared to be so. Service is friendly.

Ordered a vodka soda and it tasted like there was no alcohol and only regular water. The water is always running in the bathroom and pee on the floor. Owner is only singing karaoke paying no attention to anything else that is going on . Fries are never cooked.

I guess it's hit and miss here. We've been in the past and had a good experience, food was good, Service was good. But this time was disappointing, had a hard time getting condiments, the wait was excessive, and our food got cold. It wasn't a case of busyness and being hectic, we were just forgotten about. The wait to pay was also excessive and we ended up walking the payment up to the bar. Perhaps it was because we were at a table and bar service is better because you are front and center. Also a little pricey for a dive bar in my opinion, $28 for a burger and fries.

Good burgers, friendly atmosphere. Thursday night Music Bingo has Half off Burgers, drink specials. Free pool on Thursday night. Lots of parking

Great 1/2 pound burgers, classic atmosphere, and service is warm and genuine...Guiness on tap! Yeah!

One of my favorite dive bars. Great motorcycle stop and definitely the best burger on the hill. Hours are wrong. They open at 11am.

Been here once. Super cool place to have a beer if I get bored of the backyard. I rarely get bored of the backyard, but next time, I'll have a cold one here.

I go there a few times a year. Always quick responsive service. Burgers are better than most. Plenty of food and portion size is appropriate. Prices are good as well. I will be going back.

Honestly one of the best burgers in the town of Ramona. Great place to grab a bite, play some pool and maybe a little music or karaoke on a weekend. Or just come for a beer or a cocktail. Cheers

The customer service is incredible. Everybody that works. There is so friendly and attentive.! The food is the best in Ramona!! The burgers are to die for! The prices are very reasonable!! Way less than I would expect for what you get.

Ive been a regular at Cheers for about 15 years, but it wasnt until the current ownership that they knocked it outta the park with food, service and amazing "small town, local" ambiance. I almost ALWAYS get the "Shroom Burger," but any burger on the menu with give you a sensory response that rivals the best sex you've ever had. Yeah, it's that good..... juicy, seasoned all the way through, the toasted brioche bun with just enough crunch, fresh toppings and gooey swiss cheese. The juicy/gresiness level is en pointe! I pair this delight with onion rings that are super hot, crispy, fresh and the very thing that I will alway break my "keto" diet for! While they have all the cocktails you could ever ask for, great beers on tap, their bloody mary is the perfect Sunday morning cure for a rough Saturday night!! If you find yourself in Ramona and want REAL food that you will remember and crave your way back to, stop in and order up! The staff is BEYOND friendly, attentive, professional. Its also true to its namesake..... everybody "always know your name!" Cheers!!

We were camping at Dos Picos, but wanted an evening out in a friendly, low key spot. Just a mile or two from the campground, Cheers seemed like a good choice. It Was! Wonderful bartender/waitress was so friendly and accommodating. She recommended any of the burgers and she was right! So juicy and tasty with great 'frings' on the side. Cocktails were good and very reasonably priced. It's a quiet neighborhood spot that I'm glad we found.

Horrible service, horrible food. owner kept complaning about wineries having live music and taking her business

Walked in, outside temp was 97 degrees inside bar was85 degrees, not comfortable. Menus said ther burgers were hand made with best beef. No knife or fork was offered and burger was piled with so much stuff it needed to be cut. Burger had no flavor, it was a big pile of slop. Basket of fries and rings were greasy and burned. Not a good or welcoming place. If you're going to have a bar called cheers , it should be welcoming and good air conditioning, it is a dump filled with a looser clientele. I'll never go there again (period) Spend some money and fix the potholes in the parking lot.

Visited Taco Tuesday 9/11/2018 Stopped in for Happy Hour Taco Tuesday. 2:00 To 6:00pm Full sized ground beef tacos only .99c hard or soft. Chicken tacos $2.00 ea. Also tried the garlic fries. Tasty. The tap beer was nice and frosty cold and the mixed Salty Dogs were tasty but needed to be a bit stronger. On Monday nights for Happy Hour they serve Ribeye steaks only $10.95 I hear their burgers are famous, amazing and on my bucket list. Looking forward to my next visit. See you there. Cheers.

Food was great, portion size was excellent value, The Karaoke was rockin, The bar service was fast and friendly.

This bar is 21 abs up only, no kids are allowed, even to dine al fresco. The burgers were amazing! The brioche bun has a perfect toast and was very fresh. The bacon was crispy and the burgers were huge. The frings were a large portion, good for family of 4.

Keep driving either into Ramona or down to Poway. The food is absolutely disgusting and there's zero ambiance, even for a dive bar. Staff is rude and drinks were very light pours. I would give zero stars if that was an option.

Ordered tall rum and diet and tall tequila and soda (both well drinks). Charged us $1.50 per drink extra for making it a tall!!! (No extra liquor, mind you.). Bartender said "That's not unusual--it's the same at the bar I work at in San Diego!" Guess what--Ramona ain't San Diego. Food was great, but drink experience ruined it for us. Won't go back.

Haven't been in # years. Used to love this place, was really good food. Today Swiss mushroom burger had no flavor & neither did the fries. Ordered with the side of fries, menu said add-on $4. The bill charged $8 for the fries. Questioned $8 for add-on fries & said this price only good for regular burger or girly burger. No mention of that on the menu. Won't be going back. Better food at Boll Weevils down the street & no bullshit.

Lots of fun. People there are friendly and engaged. Pool tournament gets wild! Good food - excellent taco Tuesday.

I'm nit saying it's a gem but I'm a fan. Good mozz sticks strong drinks keno! What more could u want! A cute little place great bartenders! I'm in!

We were in town for the weekend.This bar & grill had a great local. Their cheese burger was terrific. It was huge (1/2 lb) and I asked for it to be cooked rare. Most places seem to always over cook my rare burger request, but this chef did it perfectly. Their potato tots were superb!

At one point in the last few years it was voted as having the best hamburger in San Diego! They get great beef and prepare it just right! Good job guys!

Hands down THE BEST burgers in entire San Diego or more. The place is exactly how a neigborhood dive bar should be. Relaxed, chill but friendly staff, a little grungy atmosphere, etc. The only thing that does not match up is the food! It is WAY better than one could expect from a place like that. I don't know what the 1 star reviewers expect. They must be some city bitches. Look at their other reviews - bitch, bitch, bitch. This ain't Ruth Chris and it is not supposed to be! This is Ramona country and Cheers is exactly that!

Ever since the news owners Matt and Michelle bought Cheers of Ramona, the burgers have become better and better. One only needs to try the grilled mushrooms to realize they should be called The Amazing Mushrooms! Their garlic fries are great too. The bartenders are all friendly and accommodating. They have a couple pool tables in really good condition. They always host music and karaoke events but I like to go earlier in the day when it's a little more quiet. You should definitely make this one of your stops when headed through Ramona!

Loved this place! Just happened upon it for a birthday lunch with my daughter. Great food, great drinks & excellent service! Bree was the best! We even got to gamble! My kinda place! So random and unexpected but awesome! Highly recommend if you are passing thru Ramona.

i've never had fun when i've gone here. the owner, michelle, is either talking about politics or trash on another bar in town. the food is always a miss and it doesn't even come with a side. DONT STOP HERE, KEEP DRIVING

Honestly a top 3 burger in all of San Diego, in my opinion. Always clean and mostly friendly bartenders. Don't sleep on Cheers Ramona!

Super happy that Cheers of Ramona has been able to open - under these 2020 trying circumstances! We love Cheers, not only for the local vibe, but because we can have a fun date night, enjoy some awesome live entertainment (when it was allowed - and we are very much looking forward to it in the future!), and for those times after a hard days work when we can come in as we are; and not feel uncomfortable, and enjoy a delicious burger and garlic fries, or ahi salad! My personal fav is the garlic fries. And I've had every burger on the menu, and they are juicy and cooked to order - even if it means waiting a few minutes longer...so good! Cheers of Ramona, is definitely a beloved local spot. But for those passing through our town, you won't find a better spot to enjoy a burger and a pint in town. And, know that you're supporting a local family who in turn, supports our community! Cheers!

Heavy pour, free pool, and great food! Love the layout of this place and the bartending staff. Make sure to put your dollar on the wall!

Hats off to the girls working today at CHEERS. My husband and I have been looking forward to a CHEERS burger since this whole pandemic shut down the restaurants. Once again, CHEERS of Ramona did not disappoint. The hamburgers were cooked perfectly and delicious! We arrived to a full parking lot at 5pm and did not know what to expect but the girls on duty ran the operation like a well oiled machine. They answered our questions, wore their masks, promptly wiped down tables and took great care of us. Congratulations on a job well done ladies! Thank you Chef! Keep up the great work!

Love this place...fun times, good food, great people..Cowboy Burger is to die for. Fast service..cannot wait to be back playing pool there.

Hit cheers up after the Padres game. This place never misses for good cocktails, beers, and burgers. Had a Hoss Burger and I didn't know where to begin. The tots are so good. Tot sauce and ranch.

We've had many outstanding burgers at Cheers of Ramona! They have a reputation for serving some of the best hamburgers in town. I can see why. The overall menu is extensive, while the burger choices are lengthy, varied and unique. I'll review a few of my favorite burger options below. 1. "Horseman" for $10.99 it's a 1/4 lb patty topped with American cheese, 1/4 lb of pastrami, grilled onions, pickles and hot mustard sauce. In my opinion, this combination would be better with Swiss cheese, so I requested they substitute Swiss for American. It comes out looking like a hot mess, but it tasted great! Definitely in the top tier of Ramona. The menu burgers are a la carte, so fries, rings, etc., are extra. 2. "Trail Burger" for $10.99. It's made with all the fixins plus bacon, jalapeños, BBQ sauce, and onion rings with cheese. There was seriously way too much going on with this one! Literally made me tired eating this monstrosity. Menu called out onion rings, but there were none. It was just grilled red onions. Beef patty was a good, thick half pound, cooked perfectly, hot & juicy. The appetizer order of "beer battered onion rings" here is $5.99. Their great burgers are a la carte, so you can add an order of fries, rings or frings to share with friends, family or loved ones. They came out perfectly hot and extra crispy, just how we like. Plus, not overly thick and fatty. Comes with a side of really good ranch dressing. 3. Cheers "BR" Burger for only $8.99. It's made with a Cheers burger patty, BBQ sauce, jalapeños, and cheddar cheese. Reading the menu description, something seemed lacking. That's right - bacon! I requested an add-on of bacon and that helped considerably. These burgers are served open faced to keep the hot side hot and the cold side crisp & fresh. I put it all together for the photo so you can fully marvel in just how substantial these burgers are. Every burger creation I've ever ordered at Cheers has been so thoughtfully and carefully constructed. Some places I go to are just a haphazard mess. I will say though, once you actually have to pick up and eat this behemoth, expect to have to change clothes about half way through. That and take two showers when you get home. The beef patty seemed to be a 1/2 pound; it was hot, thick, and juicy. A blanket of melted cheddar cheese enveloped a number of pickled jalapeños that lent a perfect spicy note. Bacon was abundant and a welcomed addition, although somewhat chewy/flabby, making it hard to get a good bite out of it. Produce was generous, crisp and fresh. Most impressive was the bun. It held all of this together without cracking under pressure. This place is the quintessential dive bar, so if you've never been there, temper your expectations accordingly. And of course, not appropriate for kids.
