Restaurants in Cherokee

“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.”

“My wife and I arrived from Ar. 06/16/22 and saw AFU and had dinner there. It was great. We both had the seafood combo and lobster bisque and it was by far the best meal we had on our trip. Don’t pass this place up.”

“Everything was great. Can’t wait to see the winter menu! Caroliny, was awesome!”

“Clean, friendly service… hot coffee and great food! Definitely recommend!”

“Tuck and Nicole were superb! High quality service, attentive to details and love the ambience. Food were great! Had the calamari (loved the sautéed peppers, an added touch! French onion soup (not at all salty) the steaks to perfection and lobster tails and grilled shrimp. They were all great.”

“Great food, fast seevice!!”

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

“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.”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“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 can make a really good sandwich! They are not skimpy. They are huge with lots of meat. I especially like the full Montague and I think their French dip is one of the best that I have had anywhere.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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!”

“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.☕️💜”

“My first time eating here before concert Saturday. It was phenomenal! Sesame chicken and pork dumplings were amazing. Cooked just right, sauce wasn't overbearing and service top notch. RECOMMEND 5 🌟”

“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.”

“I went looking for a proper breakfast with eggs and bacon and landed on this place. Friendly staff, great food, and good prices. I spent $18 for a small mountain of eggs, bacon, pancakes, a biscuit and milk.”

“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.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
