They have a large parking lot and inside they have plenty of seating. By observing other patrons, it appears that a lot of locals eat here. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. As the individual was refilling items on the buffet, people were asking numerous questions and he answered every one of them. There appeared to be one server for the entire restaurant and she was very efficient. The salad bar portion of the buffet had plenty of great options & choices. I don't eat a lot so I chose not to take up stomach space with these selections. The "hot" section also had numerous options. I chose the turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, creamed corn, sausage, sauerkraut, and cornbread. The turkey was tender and moist. The cornbread was very dry. Everything else was really delicious and good. Definitely made a good decision stopping here!

I used to come here when it was an IHOP in the 70's! The decor reflects an older, mountain establishment. The floors and furniture are clean and tidy. Service was fast and efficient. The buffet made me giggle...initially. But I carried on. The buffet offered everything I would make for Sunday morning breakfast at home. Soft fluffy biscuits, creamy pepper gravy (it's not homemade but it's very good! Highly recommend!). The grits were cooked perfectly. They don't have a lot of salt or pepper but that's great for me! I want to season to MY taste. The scrambled eggs were real and not cooked to death or dry. I don't eat meat but the buffet offered sausage and bacon. I only heard good things about the meat (yep, I asked people about their food!). The hostess and servers were courteous and attentive. The restaurant was moderately busy and got more busy during my time there. Everyone seemed happy and well attended. If you like good down home cooking with a little bit of mountain ambiance, this is your spot!!! Very affordable. If you're looking for fru-fru and a snoootty crowd, stay away, this isn't your spot. .

GR Street tacos is part of a food hall type experience called The Gordon Ramsay Food Market that's…read moretucked away inside of the Cherokee Casino. There is no service as it's walk up kiosk where you order and pay and pick up once they call your name. The ambiance of this is simple. Mall food court ambiance. So let's talk food. Trash. You're better at getting tacos from any of the plethora of Mexican joints that dot the interstate coming to the casino than to spend $10-$14 on crappy street tacos. I opted for the carne and the al pastor and I was maddeningly disappointed because this is supposed to come from Gordon Ramsay. THE Gordon Ramsay who prides himself on cooking with flavor, cooking with consistency, and cooking with pride as a chef and yet, even within his empire, there's just a lackluster to how this place presents his recipes. The tacos come in a to go box that houses two corn tortilla tacos that come with your choice of meat, a side of pico and a side of sour cream with limes to go with the tacos, just like any street taco we all know of. The al pastor was bland. Had no real nod to the Mexican spices used to marinate the meat. It had no flavor to it and nothing to enjoy. The onions looked old. The only thing that this had going for it was the cilantro and the sour cream. The carne was abyssmal. I don't know what the marinade that was used but the meat was tough, the meat lacked any flavor, and the meat had this off put floral after note that hits the palette that leaves a bad taste. Nothing about the street tacos is worth getting. Good thing this is a food hall and there are other choices but for real though, Gordon Ramsay may need to make a personal visit to his Cherokee Casino Food Market location and tighten up because the tacos here are drab and boring and nothing about it was exciting. You only go here for the novelty of it being Gordon Ramsay but that's about it.

I arrived , all white people stared down at me and my cousins(We Mexican). We sat down, no one attended us for a good 5 minutes. Then other white people came and sat behind us, and were attended right away. We took notice of the hate crime and decided to walk out . That's just pure racism, I do not recommend you walking into this Waffle House if you are not "American". No star - but I have to put one read more

There was a family with a young girl, and myself at a different table. Despite there being a family with a child, the teenager told the workers that she was going to stick something up his a**. I don't know who 'he' is but he might want to be on alert. That same teenager then told the staff that she was about to destroy the bathroom. This is while people were eating, btw. I thought about getting the sandwich to go, but then a hot sandwich would be room temperature by the time I got to my hotel. Maybe the mayo would bring the taste back to life! But they forgot the mayo, so no. The dude making the sandwich seemed alright though. Just inexperienced. No issues there. Getting back to the teenager, she exited the bathroom about ten minutes later and announced to the whole place (staff and patrons): "I feel bad for whoever has to clean that up. I have IBS." Unfortunately, the staff laughed, which keeps rewarding this desperate need for attention. I was like that as a teenager, so I know. This is the second time something related to bathroom humor has happened while eating at this location. Not really that appetizing. With a large sandwich costing $16, might as well eat at a restaurant anyway. I'm willing to wager they won't be talking about bowel movements. The manager should be shutting this sh*t down asap. Once you let someone act disrespectfully, they're going to keep doing it. Gotta shut it down right off the bat! Anyway, go here if you want to eat turkey while thinking about dookies.

Husband got the Orange Creamsicle which tasted very much like a Sunkist in the best way. We saw another table get a flight which could have been fun too. It was an odd time of day, not lunch or dinner so we ordered some things to share: buffalo chicken flatbread was the clear winner. Perfect level of heat, not oily or too cheesy like you'll sometimes get, and the flatbread was so good: crunchy on the bottom and a good chew. Wedge salad was also very good. Fried pickles were okay, we both agreed if the slices were thinner the chips would have had better crunch. Service was very attentive and our waiter offered recommendations. Only minor quibbles kept this from 5 stars: when we got our food the waiter asked if we needed anything else and offered ranch for the pickles, we accepted, but then on the bill there was a 75 cent charge for the ranch, not a big deal but annoying since he offered it. And other things seemed to have pretty high prices too, even for a tourist town. For example: I can't bring myself to pay $18 for a pretzel.

The buffalo chicken flatbread was OK. I did like the crust. There was very little chicken on it and for $15, they could have used a bit more. Reading the past reviews, there seems to be regular issues with people sharing, even if they're ordering the same amount of entrées as people. While we weren't charged like other people, we had an odd experience with getting plates to share entrees. When we were served our lunch, we asked for two plates so we could share. We were first offered two tiny ones, like the size of a saucer that would go under a coffee cup. we asked for larger ones so we could split the entrées and eat on our separate plates but was only brought one. We gave up then but it was strange like no one's ever wanted to share food before? All in all it was fine. We sat at outside table which was nice and it's in a good location, right downtown.
