We Americans only say "cheers" when we toast or start a new drink. Sounds like the waiter was mocking your accent, if you're British.

If we met on the street, I'd take that as a kind of "hello".
If we were drinking, I'd say it meant "drink up", or "here's to you", or some general nondescript toast to our mutual wellbeing.
if we were already drunk, I'd probably be too fuzzy-headed to think much beyond the next moment, and just grin stupidly.
Cheers!

Depends on where you were from. If you where American, it's a drinking phrase. If you were British, I would take it as a "goodbye"
