Restaurants in Cherokee

“I have been told that this is the spot to visit for some good breakfast. I am glad I took the advice and stoped here with my family on the way home from TN. It was the butt crack of dawn and the sun was just coming up when we pulled into the parking lot. We were greeted by an amazing waitress by the name
Oh Shelia. She was sassy, made us laugh, and was super attentive to us and our request. The food was delicious, fair priced, and came out fast. All round a great experience! We will definitely be back next time we are in the mountains!”

“My wife and I had lunch at All Fried Up this past Saturday and really enjoyed it. The food was very good, and the service was great. This is a great concept for a restaurant.”

“Great food and atmosphere and close to everything. Service was great and appreciate the menu variety!”

“Wonderful grits and biscuits ❤️”

“Best FRESH Burger and O-Rings in Cherokee!”

“We were driving home from Pigeon Forge and stopped in for lunch. It was delicious! The burgers were made fresh and the FF were hand cut! My teenage grandsons are hard to please and they were raving about both the burgers and the fries. They said they wish we had a Freshburger in Augusta and that their burger was better then the one we had while in Gatlinburg at one of the popular hamburger restaurants. The staff was very friendly and professional and my granddaughter loved watching the ducks on the river. We highly recommend!”

“This was a terrible experience, not just by me but all the guests around me experienced the same horrible evening. Sadly it's not the first time, Ruth Chris in the casino is absolutely the worst one in the country. I don't understand why the casino continues to value them here. They should emptied it out and replace it with a better steakhouse brand or Gordon Ramsay.  Stop renewing their contract!”

“We stopped in for lunch and very much enjoyed our sandwiches. The Philly cheese steak and BBQ chicken sandwich (which was more like a panini) were delicious and we highly recommend them! We also enjoyed the “white trash” snack mix we took home for a treat to enjoy later. We will definitely stop by again when we are in town.”

“The best authentic Mexican food we have had in the USA”

“I woke up this morning craving a homestyle breakfast… The only issue is I am staying at Harrah’s Cherokee for the weekend. I remembered hearing about the Selu Garden Cafe and decided to give it a try.

The atmosphere is open and airy, it is well lit, and even as the restaurant fills up, noise is not an issue.

The service is on point… From the greeters to the servers, and even the cleanup people, everyone is smiling and seems to really enjoy the work they’re doing.

The menu is not so extensive, in fact it is a single page and clearly explains each dish… I opted for the buffet and I am glad that I made that choice. You can get eggs made to order, biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, waffles, fresh fruit, cereal, and pastries.

For anyone who gambles and has a weird sleeping schedule, you know the importance of having good food and an excellent cup of coffee. This restaurant will help you get that morning energy with a happy tummy!”

“This place is amazing! In my whole life I've never gotten such large, wonderful servings. I've been to sushi bars all over the world and I even worked at one for 4 years. So I know what I'm talking about.

On the volcano roll, usually you would get tiny minced up bay scallops and instead there is huge sea scallops and shrimp. It's amazing! Totally unexpected. The scallops are bigger than the roll in diameter. So cool!! 🤩

The Philly roll has huge pieces of smoked salmon. Possibly even smoked locally, it has a beautiful color like a pink sapphire. I couldn't be happier. I wish we had one of these where I lived. I would order from here exclusively.

This puts the sushi at the casino to shame!

Do yourself a favor and get a few rolls from this place and you will not be disappointed.

10 Stars!

This really made my day. This was great.”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“The food was delicious. The service was for the most part good, but some of our order was missing. After waiting for her to come back I finally had to get up and hunt down our server, who was standing behind a partition talking with other employees. But she was apologetic and brought out the rest of our order very quickly. The food is a bit pricey but you get plenty of it. I loved the mozzarella cheese sticks, grilled chicken sandwich, and sweet potato fries. I ordered way too much, but it was just as good reheated the next day. We’ll be back.”

“Not only is the food outta this world, the staff is wonderful. I forgot my pocketbook in there and they found it and kept it for me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

“We absolutely loved every coffee we tried, this will definitely be a go to for coffee when in Cherokee every trip! Service, price, and quality spot on.”

“The Pink Ice Cream Station in Cherokee is an absolute must-stop! The ice cream is delicious, the portions are generous, and the staff is super friendly. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The place has such a fun, welcoming vibe — perfect for families or anyone just wanting a sweet treat on a hot day. Every time I’m in the area, I make sure to stop by. Definitely a five-star spot!”

“Sugar bears has the best ice cream and espresso. The owners are so kind and wonderful people! A must stop during your visit in Cherokee.”

“I got a Banana split you get to choose any 3 flavors and what you want on it Probably the best i’ve ever had. atmosphere is pretty awkward when ordering but once you get past that it’s great!”

“The room was large and beautiful .everything felt very professionally done..beds were great..staff was very helpful and ..I'll be back again for sure...there is a lot of things to do right here on the property from spa to comedy shows..enjoy!”

“I swear I think that was the BEST cup of coffee I've ever had!!! It was rich and smooth! I can't wait to go back to Cherokee, so I go by there to get a cup of coffee.☕️💜”

“I recommend just going! Period! You’re not going to have a bad meal regardless of your order. I have been visiting this specific restaurant for 4 years and I’ve never had a bad meal. Me personally, I love the entire menu and have a hard time choosing what to order each visit. My most recent visit was for my birthday July 2024 and I cannot thank the manager, John enough for such great hospitality and for making sure every detail of my birthday dinner was at its finest. My waiter was Edwardo and his charismatic temperament made for an enjoyable evening. Service was impeccable and the food was simply a masterpiece. I will forever give Brio of Cherokee five stars.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great little breakfast spot with a super friendly staff. Definitely not fancy but
reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen in the 70's-80's. Breakfast on the buffet is hot and fresh. It's a plus that it's walking distance to Harrah's Cherokee.”
