    Very nice snack center with ice cream and cool refreshments. Very close to the island park in Cherokee!

    As we were traveling from Pigeon Forge, Tennessee back to Winston-Salem, NC and we cut through…read moreCherokee to visit the Cherokee Bear Zoo. It was beyond lunch time and I hadn't eaten at all, so I looked around as we drove and saw the sign for this place. I love a good deli sandwich so I asked my husband to pull in and let me run in. It was a Wednesday afternoon and after lunch, so there were only a few people inside. Upon entering, I went in a door that was at a dessert counter. There were few cupcakes and treats in the case, so I quickly went on past to find the counter to order a sandwich. The ladies at the counter were super friendly and took my order quickly. I chose a hot ham and cheese sandwich with bbq potato chips and a fountain drink. The order took about 7 or 8 minutes to be prepared and brought to me in a box to the table where I sat and waited. There was seating outside by the river/creek(?) I believe and then there was seating inside. It looks like it was once another restaurant or some other establishment taht they have transformed into this deli. Don't let the looks of the inside deter you, though! The food was phenomenal! My sandwich was so delicious! I have made note that if ever in the area again, I will be back!

    I did not expect such thick and tasty sandwiches, the restaurant itself honestly could use a little…read moretlc it was kind of looking like it was closed or they were moving stuff around, but did not matter once I started eating because wow an excellent quick stop lunch. My recommendation is to eat outside by the river and get that bologna!

    Wow, GET the lobster and shrimp fettuccini and you won't regret it!…read moreThat "light" cream sauce was on point. It was exactly as I imagined from the pic. Saucy, yet creamy, and the lobster was bursting with flavor. I couldn't have had this as a better dish in many other places. I think the chefs, whoever they were, were on point tonight! This was a Wednesday. For my "dessert" I had an espresso martini. Also excellent. I don't give these good reviews lightly, but this place was on point! You won't regret this dish. I WILL get it again! The only drawback @brio is your bread, it's too hard. I couldn't mop up my sauce and clean my plate if I wanted to, which I did! But I made it work by "soaking" the bread for about ten minutes before finishing it off. Kudos to you guys. If you're lactose intolerant, it's probably worth the price you'll pay

    We used to patio dine at Brio's in Charlotte frequently...but so disappointed to see that it was…read morereplaced by another Italian joint. Fast forward several years, and I realized that they had this place inside the Harrah's Cherokee Casino...just 3 hours away. We wanted to do a quick tour of Cherokee, NC anyway, so this fit perfectly with our plans. Well, this was a nice, lofty version of Bio in Charlotte (but without the authentic patio dining space...I say "authentic" because they did have a fake patio area lol). The menu seemingly stayed the same...and I ordered one of my old favorites, Pasta Brio...and my husband tried their Lasagna. We also got the Fried Calamari. First of all, this was one of the fanciest presentation of Fried Calamari I've seen...and it was quite tasty too, with a good batter. Loved my pasta too...and so did my husband. The only thing that could have been better was the service. Our waitress wasn't bad (quite perky, in fact)...but she seemed a bit stretched thin. I didn't see too many waitresses. Not sure if it was because it was Sunday, but the casino seemed to be thinly staffed in general. Overall, though, we really enjoyed revisiting Brio...and all the foods tasted about as good as we remembered them to be!

    The corn nuggets are just ok. Frozen and dropped into a deep fryer. No seasoning no dipping sauce…read more Just blah. The elk burger was very dry. It was burnt. The fries were very soft and no seasoning. The 12oz ribeyes special. were ordered medium rare. They came out over well done. They were super thin and tough. The corn had no butter or any other seasoning. The cubed potatoes were swimming in oil. The club sandwich was really good. Lots of meat and toppings. I went in to find our waiter. No staff was seen. After about 25 minutes he finally comes out to the table. We had him remove the steak dinners since we couldn't eat them. For some reason he showed us that he put them into the system medium rare. Thinking that would change things. Our waiter thought he should get a $50 tip on a $50 order. He did not check to see if we needed anything. He did not refill drinks. He was not seen for about 25 minutes.

    We were visiting from Florida, and this was the best food we had our entire trip to North Carolina!…read moreIt was simply delicious! We had the Delmonico steak with onion rings, cheese curds, country fried steak with mashed potatoes, chicken livers and fries. The chicken livers were light, crispy and delicious! All the food was "clean"... not greasy and amazing! The Customer Service was fantastic. They were attentive and friendly! We decided to eat inside with the air-conditioning and we were very happy! They do have a porch outside with fans and tables and chairs for anyone who wants to sit next to the small brook. There is a TV inside and tables of all different sizes. We truly enjoyed our meal! We wished we had time to come back for a second time before we left NC!

My mouth was watering for that steak, and honey, it did not disappoint. I've had the pleasure of dining at Ruth's Chris locations from San Diego to Cherokee, North Carolina, and this Cherokee visit did not miss! I ordered the $65 three-course special with the filet and shrimp. That filet cut like butter. When I tell you it was tender! Even the salad and croutons tasted so fresh. And the dessert? Magnifique! A delicious finish to a wonderful meal. Granny ordered the salmon, and the quiet that fell over our table was instant. You know the food is good when the conversation stops and everybody gets down to business! Our server was wonderful and made the experience even sweeter. Wishing her all the best as she welcomes her baby! I visit the casino quite often, so I'm not sure what took me so long to dine at this location. But I can tell you this: it won't be overlooked again. Wonderful food, wonderful service, and a dining experience worth repeating.

    It was wonderful as always. My husband requested a riverside table for my birthday. It was…read morebeautiful and relaxing. Service was spot on, the salad bar was epic as always and of course the steaks were amazing. One little suggestion: please put some WD40 on the entrance door hinges. The noise is loud and a little annoying. Still love ya though.
