31 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants 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.“

“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.“

“Great food, fast seevice!!“

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

“It’s inside the casino so naturally, the food and prices will be higher than what you would expect. The wait staff was Friendly. The soft pretzel and hot pimento cheese was delicious. my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. She was not as impressed.“

“Very good Indian tacos and buffalo burgers. We have to go back and try fry bread topped with blueberries and the pizza fry bread.“

“We had a wonderful dinning experience on August 9th. The food was amazing and the service exceptional. We even brought home a bottle of their sauce to try on some ribs at home. Thanks everyone.“

“We ate dinner there on a Monday, 9/25/23 while on our 50th anniversary vacation. We chose the outdoor seating. My wife got the vegetarian tacos with a side of sweet potato tots. I got the fried shrimp tacos with a chef’s side of maple balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts. The food was fantastic and a big thanks to our server, Eliza C., who was super! We highly recommend Foragers“

“This is a wonderful place! Simple fare that exceeds expectations, excellent coffees, and a great experience!“

“Very welcoming and a SUPER cute place! Owner is AMAZING!“

“It's the best restaurant I've been to, the food and the spectacular service and the great waiters, leave them a tip, they deserve it“

“We went here last week for the first time and it was AMAZING!! The vegetarian selection was huge and so good (we came with 2 vegetarians). As Dead fans, we were delighted with the menu items and various references to the band throughout the place. Service was fast and prices were on par. We'll be back!!“

“By far, some of the best wings you can get. Philly Cheese steak was very good. Service was fantastic. Booth seats need a little padding to make them a bit comfortable.“

“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.“

“My wife and I were in town as part of our 50th anniversary vacation and had dinner on Sunday 9/24/23. I had the 10 oz sirloin with loaded baked potato and green beans. My wife had the spinach with the raspberry vinaigrette dressing. The food was awesome and the service was great! We highly recommend Boots if you’re passing through southwestern NC.“

“Fun downtown spot to grab a beer and have some food from Mad batter!“

“Staying in Bryson and toured out this way. Wonderful food, beer and service!“

“My family and are I are extra thankful this year for the kindness and generosity of Jeff and Pam Pulley, the owners of Mountain Perks Espresso Bar & Cafe. Two weeks ago, my kids and I came to Bryson City to ride the Polar Express train with friends. GPS said I was only .5 of a mile away from my destination, but my car got stuck on the rocky road on a very steep mountain and I had no cell service. Turns out I inadvertently got lost very high up on the mountain (later we would found out I was 20 minutes away from the house we were staying). My kids and I walked to the nearest house that had a light on, and by the grace of God, Jeff and Pam took us in and helped us. Jeff and his neighbor, Keith, also got my car out of the ditch I backed into, and my kids and I were still able to make the train ride. Jeff and Pam didn’t have to open up their door and help three complete strangers, but they did with open arms. Jeff and Keith didn’t have to get my car out, but they did. Let this story remind you that there are truly amazing people in this world; Jeff and Pam (and Keith) are angels walking among us! My kids and I visited Jeff and Pam at their coffee shop the next morning, and let me just say, their food and coffee are delicious! I highly recommend going there if you are ever in Bryson City, and they are located right across from the train station!“

“Tasted one of their beers at the NOC, Hazel Creek Blone and really enjoyed it. Stopped in as we were staying in Bryson City. Tried a wheat beer Smoke Over Lublin which had a nice smoky flavor that I enjoyed. Also had Elk Watch a dry stout that was very good as well.

Loved sitting in the rooftop patio. Had great weather and enjoyed watching the folks walk up and down the Main Street. Right next to the Rice Wagon which smelled great so plenty of food options near the brewery.“

“Nice beer selection. Allowed us to taste before buying. The chicken tenders were over cooked but still good. Fried Brussels sprouts were really good. Filled up very quick after dark. Beer cheese is basically Mexican Queso. Definitely recommend. Burger was great. Wings were cooked well, crispy, and meaty. Cajun fries were run of the mill, but still really good. Overall I would recommend to couples for a date night or a family needing a quick bite. It has a hometown vibe and I’m glad we stumbled upon it.“

“I've been trading with Mr Ralph Carico for at least 2 years and so far, he’s very good, intuitive Trader, honest, and you can trade fractional shares, which is a huge advantage for those who are starting out with smaller accounts/amount. Plus, He’s trustworthy and regulated account manager Ralph Carico“

“Rivers and Rails is incredible! We absolutely loved their fish and chips, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We stopped by RNR after our rafting trip in Dillsboro and accidentally lost a wallet during our visit. Two days later, it was found under a table by a customer, and thanks to Rhonda for figuring out how to contact us and the staff (especially Sky for safely securing it), we got it back before we had to fly back to Texas! Their kindness and honesty made a big impression on us. If you’re looking for great food and even better people, definitely check out Rivers and Rails!“

“Delicious chocolate. I’ll come here sometimes or go to the Chocolate Shoppe for gourmet candy when I’m shopping in Bryson. Friendly workers; mostly kids but they’re great with their service skills. The packaging is pretty and giftable.“

“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.“

“Had lunch there today. Our server was Toni. She did a terrific job & checked back often. My husband had the Hawaiian pizza & I had the lasagna. Food was way better here than at the Italian restaurant in town.“

“The pizza was so delicious!“

“We came up for a pre party for my little sisters wedding and had the time of our lives! The wait staff was amazing considering we had a party of over 30 people. The wings were fantastic and the beer selection was great! Live music was the cherry on top! We definitely recommend and hope to come back soon!“

“A little belated with the review but better than never. Came in on July 4th while enjoying the town and being a huge fan of wings we had to give CJs a try which made for a perfect 4th! Shout out to the bartender who went above and beyond for both bar patrons and those dining in all in the midst of the holiday chaos. The wings were hands down some of the best I've ever had! Jumbo, juicy, and full of flavor between the cajun garlic and Sriracha bourbon! I can not wait to come back and try other flavors! Last but not least...My 4th was really made by walking into a WNC bar that actually has Fan Duel Sports Network to watch my Braves that night and all season! Thanks for a great experience all around and to the hard working staff on the 4th!“
