“What a great find from our hotel front desk lady. We decided to take her suggestion and we are really glad that we did! Really cute place with a nice vibe when you walk in. We were greeted with smiling faces. This is a place where you walk into the counter, place your order and the get a table, and your food is brought out to you. They have a large menu. Starting with burgers ( black Angus) wings, salads, pizza, and even spaghetti!It's a cute casual place with plenty of tables and sports on several TVs. They have a self-serve drink area. You can get you get seconds as well!We were treated very well by what we think was the manager, and when we left, there were two other men they all thanked us for our business and invited us back. What I have learned, there's still some amazing small businesses out there that really care about their customers! If you are in Cherokee, NC, I would highly recommend that you try this little gem!Parking: This business is part of a shopping Plaza where there's plenty of free parking in the large lot.Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly and with outside seating, pet friendly as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap ♿️ parking and entrance with tables that will accommodate.”

“My husband and I are visiting here on vacation. I order club sandwiches just about everywhere I go for food (it's always a safe bet) to the point that we've dubbed me a club snob. When I tell you this is the best dang club sandwich I've ever had in my entire life, trust me. Every single bite was absolute perfection. There was an actual slice of HAM on my sandwich, not bad thin deli meat piled high, a perfectly thick ham slice. My husband ordered a burger and said it was the best burger he's had. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. An absolute MUST when visiting Charokee.”

“The brewery restaurant that Cherokee NC needed. The beer is good. I have two beer recommendations the Porter or Stout. The bourbon BBQ burger is great and the fish & chips I'm told we're good. I recommend sitting at the bar and if you do have a drink not water.”

“Our go to place for coffee when we are in town! Love supporting small locally owned businesses. It's crazy I've seen so many people talk about how rude the staff is but we have never experienced that. Some people need to check their own attitudes we have seen people come in with the line out the door and complain that the wait is to long ? Its free to make your own coffee at home ? stop being rude to the workers who actually show up and work. Most places are still short staffed.”

“They sell Blue Bell Ice Cream. I had a young child with me today and ordered an ice cream cone. He chose the flavor called Krazy Colors. It’s brightly colored, but evidently tastes like vanilla ice cream. They have a nice covered porch with tables and chairs outside. The fella who waited on us was friendly.”

Strikes Lounge 777 Casino Dr, Cherokee American • $

“We were there in February 2023. We found this way after a long trip to the food court which was closed! After being disappointed the food court was closed the Strikes Lounge more than made up for that. The beer cost less than inside the casino and super close to the areas we were playing in AND you can take your beer from there to the casino. The food we had was hot tasty and very inexpensive. Our server was so personable and checked in on us every time she was walked by (which was very often). We were well cared for and tipped very well. This is now our go to for beers and food.”
