    We arrived a few minutes early, seated promptly. The waiter was not too attentive, but we received our order quickly and as ordered. The food was very good and plentiful. We have been here many times when visiting the casino and will definitely visit again.

    The food off the menu is much than the buffet. The food on the buffet was just barley warm. I had the French toast off the menu and it was excellent. My husband had the pan cakes and they were good too.

    The buffet was expensive. I did get a cooked to order omelet, but it was only ok. I tried other offerings like the bacon, sausage, waffles, and potatoes. I wasn't blown away by any of the food offerings. It was an ok buffet at a very expensive price. To compare, Shoney's buffet far exceeds this one at half the price. The coffee on the other hand, wasn't good here. The inside of the coffee cup was stained with the current batch of coffee like it wasn't brewed correctly. Next time I will likely opt for something else. The daytime food options are limited. The casino seemingly caters to evening guests.

    We have always had great experiences here as the wait staff and food make us want to come back whenever we visit Cherokee. It is our go-to restaurant. On this occasion, we ordered a burger well done and received one that was medium rare. My wife graciously shared her meal with me and 25 minutes later, the waiter said the burger should be out soon. We asked to speak to the manager who asked if we still wanted the burger. We asked if they had forgotten about the burger. She offered to comp our drinks but not the burger if we were taking it. We verbalized how this seemed unusual given that we had already finished our other food and the burger had not been brought out. We did not expect our bill to be comped but did not think it unreasonable for us to be given the burger comped. When our waiter brought the bill, he did tell us the appetizer had been comped. We are always pleased with the culinary consistency of the food, especially the fried green tomatoes, soups, and salads. We do plan to be back, hoping that the incident was just an aberration in service and managerial decision making.

    Good food if you order off the menu. The Buffet is not worth the cost. It has an omelette bar, meats section, waffles and biscuits and gravy for $25. Most of the other entrées around 15 bucks or so. Very friendly waitress but did miss up our order twice.

    Great food and amazing omelets. Waitress was very slow and seemed very confused. Sat 10 minutes before she came to our table after being seated. Not busy. A lot of open tables. Maybe she was new. I would go again, but hope not to be seated in her area.

    The breakfast bar is your best price. We ordered off the menu, food was good. The food bar includes food and drinks. Our bill was about the same as the food bar. Customer service is good. Just in case it’s busy make reservations.
