Grill
Come enjoy a delicious meal right off the wood fire grill! We are located right in the heart of the historic Fayetteville square, and welcome you to join us for an incredible meal in an inviting, lively atmosphere. Our kitchen uses only select mesquite wood to insure every item has just the right amount of smoky flavor. For a grilled lunch or dinner, we offer classic steaks from ribeye to filet mignon as well as a few outside of the box items like lamb chop lollipops and jalapeño-stuffed quail breast. We also have sandwiches, salads, soups, and house-made desserts.

About the Building

Built in 1911, this historic building began its important role in the Fayetteville community as the city Post Office. In 1974 it was saved from demolition by a citizen-led petition, and gained National Historic status. We are honored to continue the tradition of bringing people together and celebrating the citys history in the beautiful Old Post Office.

    Open floor plan was noisy & chaotic, preserving very little if any of building’s charm & history. Food unimaginative & not good selection. Very disappointing

    Overall experience was average nothing amazing. We ordered hamburger steak, club sandwich, and Cajun pasta with shrimp with side Caesar. The house chips and chipotle mac and cheese were good sides. The food was cooked to order but seasoning was lacking for the shrimp pasta and hamburger steak. Service was a bit slow but the waitress did seem to have many tables.

    Cheers at the OPO is one of our favorites to bring out of town guests. The history of the building along with the great food and service make for a great experience. The specials are always creative and delicious. The steaks and burgers are always cooked perfectly. Their Asiago cheese grits are a favorite.

    The service was excellent, thank you Brinley! But the food was not great. It took a long time & we weren’t even in a rush. The pork chops had to be sent back because they were undercooked & everything else was cold.

    We are regulars when we come to town. This was an off night. The food was very good. However, my order was incorrect and my companions were almost finished by the time the server returned. We sat with empty glasses for extended periods of time. The first drink arrived with the appetizer and the second with the check. Not ideal. Our server was nice and apologetic but not attentive. It was a busy game weekend. We’ll be back.

    Cheers at the OPO never disappoints. The servers and staff are always friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food is outstanding. I usually have their special, which is always creative and delicious. It was a grilled salmon stuffed with spinach and sun dried tomatoes with Buffalo mozzarella served over fettuccine. My husband had the filet, cheese grits and collard greens, all prepared to perfection. Cheers has a full bar with a nice assortment of beers and wines as well.

    The seating is uncomfortable. Replace chairs with more comfortable chairs. and the noise level is overbearing when you place a couple with an 8 topper right next to them. Especially when you specify a table off to itself for a special occasion. You can’t carry on a conversation. Disappointing.

    The food is always outstanding. The servers are attentive without being overbearing. I had the grilled shrimp with Asiago grits. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a light butter glaze. The Asiago grits are wonderful and our favorite. My husband had a filet which was prepared perfectly as well. This is a great place for a relaxing dinner as well as a special occasion.

    This was our second visit. We both got BLT with fried green tomatoes, homemade kettle chips and a side of Asiago grits to share. We got the mimosa bottle and juice special with grapefruit juice, raspberry lemonade and orange juice. Everything was fabulous. Service is top notch and the place has great ambience. It can get a bit loud inside due to the acoustics of the building, but overall a great experience.

    Lunch with 2 old friends. All had bloody Mary’s…..which were good. Tomato appetizer was good. Bbq shrimp had no flavor. I had the French dip. Bread was excellent but the mystery meat looked and tasted like shoe leather. Too expensive for the quality of the food.

    Not a fine dining restaurant, but still a wonderful place to eat. Very overpriced for the food you are served and they will try and price gouge you at every chance (don’t ask for extra chips or salsa if you don’t want to be charged). Service was rather poor and slow even on a quiet night in the dining room. Their drinks were very good and incredibly well priced. Overall this is a solid place for dinner but not an upscale date night as they try to advertise.

    We had a great experience at Cheers at The Old Post Office. This was our first time at Cheers and when next in Fayetteville will return. We had the filet with Bleu Cheese and the steaks were excellent. A shout out to our server Kaylie who took great care of us throughout the meal. We (2) were initially seated between 2 large parties and our request to be reseated was handled promptly and politely. Dining on the Square in Fayetteville is special and Cheers certainly is too.
