Redrock Canyon Grill - Lake Hefner…read more First visit--and I can confidently say this place just earned a spot in our regular date night rotation. We walked in to a packed house, which is always a good sign, but were seated immediately. From there, the experience never missed a beat. Beverly took care of us and was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged. You can tell when someone enjoys what they do, and it shows. We started with margaritas, and when Beverly said they were "perfect," she wasn't overselling it. Smooth, well-balanced, and served ice cold. We're both olive fans, so of course we asked for extras--and they delivered without hesitation. Going in, we made a deal: appetizers or dessert--not both. After hearing about the pineapple upside-down cake with vanilla ice cream, that decision was made pretty quickly. For the main course, Beverly walked us through the menu and the weekly specials: * Rainbow trout with roasted peppers and cucumber salad * 14 oz peppercorn crusted steak with mashed potatoes, broccoli & parmesan I know my wife--steak was the obvious choice for her. I went with the trout. Both dishes were excellent. The trout was cooked perfectly with a light, flavorful sauce that didn't overpower the fish, and the vegetables were fresh and well-prepared. The steak was cooked just right, full of flavor, and paired perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes and broccoli finished with parmesan. What really elevated the night was the hospitality. Kirsten, the manager, stopped by to check on us and took the time to have a genuine conversation. She shared details about patio seating and upcoming live music nights, which we're already planning to come back for. Then came a surprise--she graciously covered our dessert. A classy move that didn't go unnoticed. And that pineapple upside-down cake? Warm, soft, topped with melting vanilla ice cream... absolutely worth skipping the appetizers for. The Bottom Line: Great food, exceptional service, and a relaxed but polished atmosphere right on Lake Hefner. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, this is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend for a date night or a nice evening out.

I debated between a four- and five-star rating, but overall this was still a five-star experience…read more This was my second visit, and I returned because I remembered having the best steak I'd ever eaten here. While this steak wasn't quite as impressive, it was a bit tougher than I'd hoped, the flavor was still phenomenal, with a great smoky, straight-off-the-grill taste. Our server, Gracie, was fantastic: friendly, helpful, and accommodating to our large party. We ordered several appetizers and enjoyed most of them, though the cornbread was noticeably dry according to several people at the table. The coconut pineapple margarita was a standout and well worth ordering. The tropical flavors were delicious, and the coconut rim was a great touch. I also loved my salad, especially the tomatoes, which were surprisingly flavorful. For my entrée, the steak was cooked well and paired nicely with the mashed potatoes. Although the texture kept it from matching my first visit, it was still very enjoyable. One thing we really enjoyed was the atmosphere. We were seated in a room toward the back near the wine cellar, adjacent to a pond outside. It ended up being a great spot because we could watch people enjoying the outdoor area throughout the evening. The restaurant struck a nice balance, it felt upscale and welcoming without being overly quiet. Our group was able to be a little loud and goofy without feeling out of place, which made the experience even more fun. What ultimately secured the five-star rating was dessert. I can't remember its name, but it's pictured in the photo. It was enormous and absolutely incredible, one of the best desserts I've ever had and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. The steak wasn't quite as tender as I remembered, but the excellent service, great drinks, solid appetizers, enjoyable atmosphere, and outstanding dessert made for a wonderful experience.

Another person in my group also ordered the Wagyu steak, and we both felt the same way--it was not good at all. For a $51 steak, I expected excellent quality, but instead it tasted like something you could buy at a dollar store. I ended up leaving hungry because I couldn't bring myself to eat it. I do want to recognize the staff. Our server was a very polite young man who provided excellent service, and the hostess was welcoming and hospitable. In the end, my bill was around $60 because I decided to splurge on myself today. It's disappointing to spend that much money only to end up wasting it on a steak I couldn't eat. I truly hope the restaurant takes another look at the quality of its Wagyu steak because it did not live up to its price.

Cooked to perfection, it came out tender, juicy, and packed with rich, beefy flavor in every bite. The seasoning was on point -- not overpowering, just enough to let the quality of the meat shine through. The cut was thick, the texture was melt-in-your-mouth soft, and the au jus complemented it perfectly. You can tell real care went into the preparation. If you're a prime rib fan, this one definitely hits the mark. I'd order it again without hesitation.

However, when we went recently, the first thing we noticed was the change in menu. They have added wraps, which was okay. They still have what we usually order. I ordered a chicken wrap. It came with chips. My husband ordered BBQ beef. We filled our drink cups while we waited for the food. The Dr. Pepper was out. We filled our cups with lemonade. No big deal. The lemonade was awful. It was watery and tasted like the jalapeno lemonade they used to carry. We dumped it out and got tea. It was okay. When the food came, my husband, a non-complainer, remarked that he got chicken with the beef he ordered. He ate about half the food. He said it wasn't worth eating. My wrap came with a few paltry chips. Small, poor quality chips. The taste of the wrap was okay, but the texture was mushy, like it had been in a blender. I ate one of the halves. We just wrapped up the food and took it home. We wound up throwing about half away. $30+ in the garbage can. We will never go back. So sad. It was a good restaurant.

As we first pulled in, we weren't sure if they were open. Come to find out that they were but are remodeling the building. The waitresses were all very pleasant and seemed to really work together. My husband and I had the hamburger steak and chicken fried steak. Both came with a salad bar which had some of the freshest selections I've ever had. The meals were both very large and filling. We finished the meal with a piece of their homemade coconut cream pie which was wonderful. They really made you feel like they appreciated having you there. Very good home cookin' type of restaurant with very friendly staff. We recommend you take the time and make your stop here. You won't be disappointed. read more

My Family and I visit Cherokee often. Sunday after Church we decided to go eat, and on our way there my mouth started to water as I thought about their delicious Burgers. We got there during the Lunch rush, and were hesitant because it was packed like always. We were greeted and sat in no time, and were treated very kindly by our Waitress Shelby. Shelby was on top of everything, and she made sure our cups were never half empty, which is something I always look for in a good Server. We were pleased to say the least, and I think our Server deserves a raise! read more

As was the fish our family friend had. One surprising thing was when we ordered an order of cheese fries. It was half the size of last visit. It also didn't have the advertised bacon. My friend was so dazzled he wound up ordering another one (half size) just to see. We were shocked when it came out the same size as the full order. We waited for the check thinking the first order must have been mistaken as being a half order. It wasn't. The waitress just shrugged that's how they did it.
