- DDr AngelaAsheville / Western North Carolina •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe arrived 10 minutes before our reservation and notified the desk. It was no more than three minutes when they called my name. They sat us in a booth, which my husband prefers. That was a plus, and the waitress, Taylor, came quickly to get our drink orders and appetizers. When she returned, we had not decided on our main course, so she assured us that it was fine; she’d check back. As soon as we laid the menus down, she was back. The orders were placed; I ordered the crusted sea bass, asparagus; he ordered, the stuffed chicken and asparagus. Taylor asked if we wanted to place one instead of two since it was a family portion. We really appreciated that bit of information. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and very tasty. The asparagus was awesome! Portions are ample to eat. Hubby was able to bring some back to the room. The Pepsi product was fresh and did not water down while waiting for dinner or throughout. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!More infoRuth's Chris Steak House - Harrah's Cherokee Casino & HotelPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Cherokee•4.6

- LLisaVIPAsheville / Western North Carolina •9 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 10, 2024We eat here each time we visit Harrahs and usually go multiple nights for dinner. The menu is excellent and servings are enough that we split the full rack ribs. Guy’s ribs were perfect tonight—meat fell off bone and was moist and meaty ribs. Delicious every time.More infoGuy Fieri's Cherokee Kitchen + BarPrice: Expensive• American• Cherokee•4.3

Discover Cherokee
Cherokee is slightly off the beaten path when it comes to Blue Ridge pit stops. Expect to sample down-home cooking at the local diners, where hometown favorites such as fry bread and corn, squash and bean combos, called three sisters, are on the menu. When bluegrass music fills the air, be prepared for barbecue, which is referred to as pulled pork in these parts. The vinegar-based North Carolina sauce leaves a pleasant aftertaste that complements the variety of accompanying vegetable and starch dishes. The influence of nearby Asheville, a hotspot for the hip and highbrow crowds, is very much part of the dining scene. Upscale steak and seafood restaurants serving contemporary American, Italian and other cuisine are also part of the diverse dining choices.
