“A group of us (8) decided to stop here one morning for breakfast. The service and the food was absolutely amazing. Right on the river. The blueberry pecan pancakes and bacon was probably some of the best I’ve ever had. Wish we were in town for another couple of days so we could have eaten there every day. Our server was so kind, friendly, and very attentive. Food came out super quick. Must try when you’re in town…. Now that I think about it, I might move here just to eat at Peter’s every day.”

“We had breakfast there yesterday morning (Saturday 9/6/25) and the food was great and got seated quickly. My only complaint and it’s not good , but an employee was mad and was trying to fight another employee and brought it out into the restaurant and it was packed and kids in there. That guy should have been fired on the spot and no questions asked. Other employees were trying to get him to stop. So, I didn’t enjoy my breakfast after that I was a little nervous. Now days you never know what someone might do. So, food was great but that was not good and I hope they fired that guy for acting out like that.”

“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 food was delicious but the omelette station really slowed down the buffet line. Possibly because there were a couple of groups there. When we checked in, they asked first which group we were with even though I gave them our name. Oh well. I will repeat that the food was delicious!!!”

“Food here is great, service is great too. Our group of 24 were seated right away, with tables happily moved by the staff and us. Their only 2 waitresses worked hard to please us and the other customers. Price isn't bad considering the quality of the food, with the exception of the chicken wings. It should be a crime to even harvest a chicken so small that you can nearly cover the wing flat with a quarter. The other negatives, the A/C was broken during our visit and the tables were sticky, I know that that's from an issue with the clear coat on the table and the chemicals used to clean it and that's why lot of restaurants have opted to put plexiglass or table clothes over their tables, maybe something for them to consider.”

Strikes Lounge 777 Casino Dr, Cherokee American • $

“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.”

“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.”

“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.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
