    Last week, I found myself in western North Carolina, just outside of Charlotte, for a running event…read morein Gastonia. That said, my hotel and dining radius leaned more toward Kings Mountain, NC, so that's where this story actually takes place. I arrived a bit early, checked into the hotel, swung by the venue to grab my packet, chatted with a few fellow runners, and then the most important question of the evening came up. Where are we eating? After a little web surfing, I landed on a spot called 238 Cherokee Grill. It was conveniently located near both the venue and the hotel, which immediately put it in the lead. My friend Jeff and I pointed ourselves in that direction. It was a Friday night, and the place was buzzing. We were told there would be about a 10-minute wait for a table. That slowly stretched into more like 15 to 20 minutes, but when two seats opened up at the bar, we made a quick executive decision and grabbed them. The bartender checked in fairly quickly, despite being clearly slammed. Once we had their attention, we ordered right away to keep things moving. I went with the classic burger, upgraded with lettuce, mushrooms, grilled onions, and a side of fries, ordered medium. Jeff went with the Smothered Chicken. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time, and everything hit the bar hot. The burger leaned a little more medium-rare than medium, which honestly worked in my favor. Good flavor, solid burger. The fries were hot and crispy, exactly how I wanted them after a day of travel and packet pickup. No complaints from either of us. Portions were solid, and the prices felt fair for what you get. The only real downside was that initial wait. There isn't much of an entryway to hang out in, and with the cold weather outside, that part wasn't exactly comfortable. That said, the staff was friendly, the service was solid, and the overall experience was a win. Would I go back if I'm in the area again? Yep. The menu had a few other things that caught my eye, and I'd happily give them a shot next time.

    We came here on an early Sunday evening on our way back from a weekend getaway. The restaurant was…read morevery clean and spacious, and the seats were very comfortable. I ordered the vegetable quesadilla which came out very hot and was plentiful. The server was attentive, and the food came out very quickly, even though there were several guests there. There was a separate bar area that was not noisy and TVs were around the restaurant. We'll definitely go back if we are in the area again.

    We always met here on Friday. Small group from church. Have been going for I don't know how many…read moreyears. Left for a couple of months because of service. Returned about a month ago and the service had improved. Now we go in tonight and I am told no more fantail shrimp. I have been ordering it for years and years. Another person, who dines with us, was told no more whole catfish or whole flounder, which he ordered all the time. I ordered the jumbo shrimp which I did not care for. Tough and over cooked. The business has a relatively new owner. I am sure the new owner did this for his employees! This will work well for the employees, giving them more time to relax. Less customers! Less money! I will not return.......

Seemed like management problem but minor on the whole. Last Friday was bad. The place was not crowded at all. Maybe 30%! We were a group of 11 any were seated and drinks supplied. We had been told a new owner had taken over a few weeks prior. We were told there was a shortage in kitchen personnel. I have no idea what is happening but we had a two(2) hour wait for our food! Some in our party complained of cold food and my baked potato was warm not hot and the shrimp was over cooked. Sorry but I don't have time for this level of mismanagement.
