25 Best American Restaurants near Cherokee

“We had a great experience at Guy’s restaurant! The place was very clean, the staff was extremely friendly and our food was fresh and delicious. Portions were big. The bacon Mac and cheese burger was delicious! The burger hung way off the bun and the onion straws were a nice addition. It was my birthday, so I indulged in the cheesecake. Dude! They gave me a whole half!!! of cheesecake that came with potato chips and pretzels on it, drizzled with chocolate syrup. Potato chips were a bit odd, but the pretzels were awesome on it! ?❤️ Our waiter was very kind, the bus boy was very busy cleaning up after people and when we finished, he immediately came over and offered to take our plates. It was a wonderful meal and we will be back our trip up!“

“The people and the food here is top notch, I wished I lived closer I would be there every week. Thank you for the delicious meal we had.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Staff at this facility was outstanding in ALL areas. Appreciated reviews that stated to be sure to make your dining reservation ahead of arrival, which we did. Upon arrival there was a good waiting line. Very thankful for our reservation and we were seated promptly. Our waiter, Will, was amazing. He was patient with our questions and all our orders were perfect.“

“This chocolate shop has so many different options to choose from. We picked chocolate covered marshmallows, maple chocolates, turtles and chocolate coated pretzel sticks. Next time we plan to try some fudge. We sat outside the store at the tables and chairs and enjoyed our purchases.“

“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.☕️💜“

“busy but clean. friendly, polite, knowledgeable waitress. great food and service. coffee cup never went low. go many times per year.“

“Tina and Ron are the best! Amazing fresh quality of seafood with restaurant and bar… Or you just buy from the market to take home. Great prices and always a diverse rotating menu. Thank God we finally have a good place to eat around here.“

“Don’t think I met Loretta, unless she is very young and has purple hair at the register. But the food seems decent, I’ll be a little on the pricey side for tots and a double cheeseburger. That being said since inflation hit in 2022, what isn’t a bit pricey.“

“Wonderful four night stay with my parents in May 2023. Food was excellent. Rooms were comfortable. Staff was very friendly as were other guests. Absolutely recommend.“

“We ordered two 18 peice chicken wings, a philly cheese steak, fries, and an oreo pie. We also had two more 18 peice wings and an onion rings delivered earlier this afternoon. These are the best wings ever! They are huge and on Wednesdays, they have their wing special. The lady that took our order over the phone was wonderful! We are extremely satisfied, and we order almost every Wednesday 😀“

“We had two signature items from the menu that we have had many times. Not up to par this time (9-21-22). French onion soup was like warm. Mediterranean appetizer over browned. Italian pasta salad needed more oil and grated cheese. The added tofu was practically burnt and flavorless.“

“Family owned diner with good food. We have eaten there for years. My kind of pkace“

“Great food and beer! Highly recommend!“

“We had dinner here while visiting family in the area. The place looks nice & inviting. We chose to sit inside as the evening was a little cool. It was rather busy, tables all around us were full of ppl eating various plates of food. I noticed a table to our left & our right both had a very creamy & delicious looking Mac & cheese. I searched the menu & saw there were 2 options for Mac & cheese. One was under the kids menu section & the other was on the regular menu but with lobster, called Lobster Mac & cheese, it was $15. I thought of wow they must load the Mac & cheese with lobster for that price. I asked our waitress when she returned to take our order if the size of the Lobster mac & cheese was the same size as the ones on either table to our left or right? She looked at the table on one side of us & confirmed it was indeed the same portion size, so I then asked if it would have enough lobster in it for that price. She said that she thought it was a good portion of lobster in the Mac & cheese. So we ordered our plates & I ordered the lobster Mac & cheese. I sat there enjoying our conversation practically salivating thinking about the creamy delicious lobster Mac & cheese. When our food came out it didn't all come at once but was staggered, as the first items were brought out before the Mac & cheese, I was distracted by the other entree's when it was delivered. Well boy was I ever disappointed in what they actually delivered to our table as lobster Mac & cheese. Firstly it did not look anything like the creamy delicious looking Mac & cheese that I had pointed out to our server earlier. It was not creamy or cheesy like the other. It wasn't even the same pasta, it was relatively dry & had seasoning & onions in it & 3 teeny tiny little pieces of lobster set on top in the middle. I am not usually one to complain, but this was inedible for myself because it was full of onions, which was something I had asked the waitress about in another dish before ordering & would have thought she would have explained that the kids Mac & cheese was Not the same as the lobster Mac & cheese & also made me aware that the lobster Mac & cheese included onions. When she finally returned to our table I attempted to get her to just remove it from our bill as I wasn't going to eat it. She told me it wasn't in their policy to remove the lobster Mac & cheese from the bill & acted like she wouldn't even go ask a manager about it. I asked if I could have her remove the lobster Mac & cheese from the table & replace it with what I had actually wanted & pointed to at the other tables earlier. She finally left to I assume ask & then a couple minutes later she returned & said she was sorry but they would Not remove it from the bill or replace it with the kids Mac & cheese either! We paid our bill & I again looked at the menu on our way out to confirm that it did not describe the lobster Mac & cheese as a different pasta, having seasoning & onions in it. It did Not! First they should clearly describe the lobster Mac & cheese in the menu & secondly they should Not expect customers to pay for something they absolutely will Not eat because of hidden ingredients in their meal. This place put a bad taste in our mouth & we will Not be back while visiting family again.“

“I don't recommend going to sylva waffle house around midnight. I had just left my brother's house and was traveling home when I saw a homeless guy walking. I stopped and gave them a ride so the guy could warm up. I let him out near the waffle house and continued home, when I realized the guy left his tobogen. I returned to the area where I last saw him and heard that he was close to waffle house, so I go in there. there's the cook, which acted kind and professional, a customer & the waitress. the waitress was very nice to me until she learned that I was looking for this homeless guy to give him his hat back. she began to frown and changed her whole demeaner. I am male and have long hair and had been wearing a hat earlier. I didn't realize it at the moment but my hair was messed up some. the waitress just got a blank stare on her face and for the most part was being rude and then reminded me that the guy wasn't there.kind of prompting me to leave . the cook spoke up and said, "I think he wants to order."had she not been avoiding me she would've seen that I had a menu in my hand, reading it. I decided not to order and just go home and eat. when I went outside,to get in my car either the cook or the rude waitress pushed her car lock remote causing the horn to sound as if to make sure I didn't steal something. it's funny how people judge others negatively because you look different or you tried to help someone out. if I had the power, I would fire that waitress on the spot. very disturbing. sad part about it is that my coat was worth more than she made in a week. yet she treats me like I'm some kind of vagabond. not only did that happen Saturday 14, Jan. she wouldn't even answer the phone. there was one customer in the store when I tried to contact them by phone if you can't be nice and considerate while doing a job like that, you have no business working there“

“Waitress named Jennifer is great waitress 💯👌“
