I did a quick Yelp search and this Mexican restaurant at the house reviews and we are thankful that we visited it. It was situated right on the tuckaseegee River and even though it was about 378° f outside we still decided to sit outside just to be by the river. Started off with the basket of chips and salsa and both were freshly prepared and our meals were very good and very authentic and the wait staff again here was very friendly checked on you often and again even outside they were coming out there every couple of minutes to check and make sure we had everything that we needed. This restaurant is just a mile or two outside of the downtown so it's well worth a car ride over there to get some really good authentic Mexican and if you like margaritas or draft beer you're not going to find a better prices anywhere in North Carolina.

My wife and I enjoyed four queens while we were staying in Bryson City dropping our daughter off at…read moreWCU. Port Queens was ranked in the top five in the Bryson city area and I knew we'd get filled up and have a good meal when we saw they had salsa bar. I had read the reviews and heard some good things about their quesadillas so decided to give them a try. We started out sampling each one of their salsa from the salsa bar with the tortilla chips before dinner. The food was great and the service was excellent. The quesadilla was stuffed full and was a huge portion size with the beans. We both ate about half and finished off the rest for breakfast at the Airbnb. I will definitely keep the four queens on my radar for my next trip to Sylva or Bryson City.

We tried this chef-inspired place for dinner during our stay at the hotel-casino…read more.. The place itself had more of a vibe of a hotel lobby than that of a restaurant....a bit too spread out as well? Also, it was too quiet for such a spacious layout. Definitely needed to crank up the music. That can be said of this entire hotel-casino. Possibly catering to senior's finicky sensibilities, but overhead music is very subdued throughout the hotel-casino...and for me personally, it made the place feel a lot less festive. We also had this wonky table, but our waitress tried her best to fix it. In any case, we ordered the Lobster Lollipop for appetizer, a Caesar Salad, and a BBQ Rack with sides...all to share. Well, I can't complain...all the foods were delish. The flavors were rich and buttery. I would have liked to try one of their entrees, but I just wasn't hungry, so we just ordered 1 entree, 1 salad and 1 app to share. It turned out to be good call...as all the dishes had generous portions. Overall, we liked the restaurant. Frankly, the vibe just wasn't that great. Again, the place felt like a hotel lobby. Still, the food and the service was good, and think we'd both be willing to revisit in the future.

We came to Harrah's Cherokee for an overnight stay. We chose Gut Fieri's for dinner and my friend…read moreused her Diamond $100 dinner perk, so I covered the tip. Let's start with the positive. The service was very good. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food: Oh my - I'm glad this was basically free because wow, not good. Chili - we both ordered. It was cool not even luke warm, like the cheese on top was put under a broiler to melt but everything else was cool. I LOVE chili and I could only eat a couple bites. I did not try the cornbread muffin, I'm a cracker girl, so can't review it. The wings were edible but just ho-hum. Wish they were crispier and the sauce had more flavor. Buffalo wild wings are much better and cheaper. The chocolate cake was HUGE! They must keep this in the fridge, because it was cold and the waitress even mentioned it tastes better the longer it "sits out" so... I took two bites, just so disappointing. It tasted old, definitely not a tender, fresh cake. We left a lot of uneaten food - Guy Fieri - if this is representative of your food, shame, shame, shame...

(I heard they are kinda known for the pork). It was very good! The pork is fried but it's still moist, which adds a special crunch. The burrito was 2 meals so that tells you how big it was. The wait staff are very attentive and friendly and brought drink refills without asking, a nice thing. I liked it because it was quiet. The booths have high backs on them so you don't hear the tables around you. It's a very good restaurant and we will be back.

Don't let the outside fool you; the exterior is deceiving and doesn't draw you in, but once you step inside, El Patron is absolutely amazing and incredibly clean. The food is the real star. I had the fried burrito, which was perfectly crisp and flavorful, smothered in cheese and mole and my husband ordered the Texas Steak. The chips were warm, fresh, and their incredible salsa bar is a massive bonus with so many great authentic flavors. I can't believe I haven't been here before today. After decades of searching for a go-to spot in town, we've finally found it. We will absolutely be back!
