Food is excellent, as always; however, overall service was terrible. 20 minutes to get drinks from the bar, even though the restaurant didn’t seem very busy. Lack of attention for a meal at that price. Server seemed to be doing the best he could, so I would point to management for staffing issues.

Not as good as it usually is. Bread service was tough and chewy. Never been like that before. Seated us in a table in the middle of rows of booths. Felt like everyone who walked by hit one of our chairs. Way to crowded of an area, especially with empty booths around us. Why put us out in the middle like that? No impressed tonight. Food was cold but the plates were very hot, so hot that the lady who brought them out said they were hot, but then the food was room temp at best. Never had a bad meal or experience here before but I guess there is always that one time and this was it.

We eat here every time we visit Gatlinburg. The 12oz Filet by far the best filet we have ever eaten. The service is beyond amazing! And make sure to get a side of Soy Ginger sauce.

We were very pleased with the Cherokee Grill environment, food and service! We enjoyed excellent steak and a wonderful salad with some of the best blue cheese dressing I have ever had. Our server was also excellent. If we ever return to Gaitlinburg, we will return for a meal!

We had an excellent meal. The smoked trout appetizer was especially good. We also had the seafood platter which was more than enough for two of us. We will be sure to come again the next time we are in Gatlinburg.

Way over rated. Looked at reviews before deciding where to go and these people must have never had good steak before. Definitely no where close to the best steak I ever had. The so called 14 oz ribeye was more like a 10 oz steak. Must have changed a lot since last year because the reviews I watched on YouTube was for sure not the same size steak that we received. Not to mention the tast of the steak was average at best.

Great experience. Love the inside of the restaurant. Service was excellent. Ordered the teriyaki sirloin with neva potatoes, hot bread to the table was best in area. After our meal we made reservations for the next night to dine again we liked it so much.

Cherokee Grill provides a nice alternative to the noisy chain and themed restaurants along the Gatlinburg Parkway. The place has a very attentive staff, slightly more upscale ambiance, and a nice menu focused on steak and southern-style comfort food. They also offer a fairly affordable wine list. We tried to explore their menu and specials a bit during our visit. We started with the smoked tuna appetizer which arrived a bit different than I expected. The cold open filet, mustard sauce, and other items served over sliced tomatoes made for an interesting experience if you don't mind building your own appetizer on the provided toast. My wife and I both ordered from the specials menu. My steak/shrimp combo was good-not-great. My wife opted for a boiled seafood plate that offered a wide variety of options with nothing really standing out. My less-than-adventurous daughter got a burger and had no complaints about it. The sides offered were a bit more worth talking about. The Neva's Potatoes are a nice alternative to a standard baked potato. The Tennessee blue cheese grits are as close to eating blue cheese crumbles as you can come without actually eating blue cheese crumbles. They were good, but the serving was probably more than you need unless you really love blue cheese. If it were in a city with a lot of dining options, Cherokee Grill probably wouldn't stand out as special. In Gatlinburg, it's a bit of a unicorn in a strip filled with gift shops, candy shops, moonshine distillers, and themed restaurants. It's ideal for if you want to get away from all that for a meal.

This was my first visit to Cherokee Grill, but won’t be my last. My buddy had been here before and wanted to go again, so we snagged an open table for 8:00pm on a Saturday night and headed on over. We checked in early, about 10-12 mins, so we expected a wait, but ended up getting a text at 8:17pm that our table was ready. Not too bad for prime time Saturday night in a tourist heavy area. Our server, Heidi, was super friendly and on top of our drink refills and everything else we needed. The food was AMAZING!! From the delicious bread service, which we absolutely destroyed, to the Prosperity Steak with the Whatsthattheresauce butter that I could melt and drink, to Noni’s (?) potatoes that I would eat every day of my life. I also added a lobster tail and it was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. I was too full to have dessert, but my buddies both got the homemade strawberry shortcake. It was huge with giant shortcake patties (what I would call a flat cat head biscuit) and lots of strawberries and syrup in the bowl. Overall, they were satisfied with it, but said it was their least favorite part of the meal. I will definitely be back and try their famous Prime Rib or Filet. The sirloin I had was filet tender, so I imagine the filet just melts off the fork and into your mouth!
