I was there on a Friday and sat at the bar. They have a $3 PBR cans special on Fridays so I had…read moresome a couple of those. I ordered the pickle brined chicken sandwich. It normally comes with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and special sauce. I didn't want a mayonnaise based sauce....trying to cut some calories since I'm already having a deep fried sandwich! I instead got a smear of buffalo hot sauce which was a really good substitute. The sandwich was super crisp and spicy. Very good! My only gripe is that when I get a sandwich at a restaurant, I expect some type of side dish. It could be a small amount of fries or some potato chips but something. R&R has lots of good sides so they could offer some free fries but then encourage up charge sides for one of their delicious options like their truffle fries. Ive eaten there a few times and each time, very consistent, good food!! Bartender Chynna was very nice. Bar was getting busy but she handled everyone efficiently and friendly.

Stopped in for lunch and we were seated promptly and greeted by our waitress. We had iced tea and…read moreour waitress suggested several favorites for lunch. I had the burger and fries and my wife had the Korean Steak Bowl. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed the meal. The crowd was minimal and the restaurant was fairly quiet everything was clean and we will go back in the future.

We tried this chef-inspired place for dinner during our stay at the hotel-casino…read more.. The place itself had more of a vibe of a hotel lobby than that of a restaurant....a bit too spread out as well? Also, it was too quiet for such a spacious layout. Definitely needed to crank up the music. That can be said of this entire hotel-casino. Possibly catering to senior's finicky sensibilities, but overhead music is very subdued throughout the hotel-casino...and for me personally, it made the place feel a lot less festive. We also had this wonky table, but our waitress tried her best to fix it. In any case, we ordered the Lobster Lollipop for appetizer, a Caesar Salad, and a BBQ Rack with sides...all to share. Well, I can't complain...all the foods were delish. The flavors were rich and buttery. I would have liked to try one of their entrees, but I just wasn't hungry, so we just ordered 1 entree, 1 salad and 1 app to share. It turned out to be good call...as all the dishes had generous portions. Overall, we liked the restaurant. Frankly, the vibe just wasn't that great. Again, the place felt like a hotel lobby. Still, the food and the service was good, and think we'd both be willing to revisit in the future.

We came to Harrah's Cherokee for an overnight stay. We chose Gut Fieri's for dinner and my friend…read moreused her Diamond $100 dinner perk, so I covered the tip. Let's start with the positive. The service was very good. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food: Oh my - I'm glad this was basically free because wow, not good. Chili - we both ordered. It was cool not even luke warm, like the cheese on top was put under a broiler to melt but everything else was cool. I LOVE chili and I could only eat a couple bites. I did not try the cornbread muffin, I'm a cracker girl, so can't review it. The wings were edible but just ho-hum. Wish they were crispier and the sauce had more flavor. Buffalo wild wings are much better and cheaper. The chocolate cake was HUGE! They must keep this in the fridge, because it was cold and the waitress even mentioned it tastes better the longer it "sits out" so... I took two bites, just so disappointing. It tasted old, definitely not a tender, fresh cake. We left a lot of uneaten food - Guy Fieri - if this is representative of your food, shame, shame, shame...

However, I think this is one of my most subjective reviews and strongly believe that most people reading this will enjoy it more than me.

There are dedicated parking spaces and a parking lot for the restaurant. You walk up to the trailer and place your order at the window. Then you are given a number. Those of us waiting for our food shared some stories of our travel adventures so that added to the experience. BJ's Diner is located along the river so on a warmer day this would have been a great place to sit at the picnic tables and enjoy the view. But with the strong winds, I opted to eat in my car as did most of the others. I ordered a cheeseburger and am so glad I didn't do the double cheeseburger option as this was huge. It was delicious and came with many toppings and they let me customize. I also got a side of crinkle fries. I didn't care for the fries as they were mushy and I would have liked more crispiness to them. They were hot so that was a plus as nothing is worse than cold fries. The service was great and efficient here and the prices were reasonable. I will stop here again the next time I am in Cherokee.
