I have been going to Cheers since 2005 and it was always my favourite place to eat in Freiburg…read more Every time I was in town i just HAD to go there. They had wonderful offers every day of the week on food, drinks and cocktails and even better deals for students. Since its 'renovation' in Septmber 2009 I have been there twice. Well, for starters, the place still looks the same to me and the only renovation I can see is that the plates have been changed, more specifically, the size of the plates has been halved. The toilets are still very small and dingy but hey, that's no problem if the place still lives up to its previous name. Well sadly, I can say that my 'lieblingsort' in Freiburg, is my 'lieblingsort', no longer! I always order the same thing every time I go there; the schweinesteak with kräuterbutter, pommes und beilagensalat - pork steak with an in -house made herb butter with a tonne of fries and a separate side salad with an in-house made special dressing. This dish used to contain just one steak but they have now made it two...possibly to make it appear more appealing to the buyer. Well I can tell you that the two steaks put together still don't make up the size of the one steak one had previously got. The kräuterbutter and salad dressing are not as tasty as they were before. The side salad is a 3rd of the size it used to be with many of the older ingredients missing. The portion of fries has also been drastically reduced. Normally my husband and I have to share one meal. When we were there yesterday we had to order extras on top to compensate our hunger due to the unexpected and very much unappreciated portion curtailment. Please bear in mind that the price was still the same although the plate and portion sizes had at least been halved. Service was ok. Waitress was friendly enough but the feel was not the same 'welcome home' feeling that one used to get greeted with when frequenting the place. Sad to say it was quite a disappointment and it looks like we will need to find a new 'fave' in Freiburg! However, if you want to go somewhere and pay the same price for the half the portion, Cheers is the place to go.
