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.

Prime Boneless Ribeye was very good. The mashed potato with the broccoli was perfect. However, it…read morewas quite greasy. It was quite heavy but it was good.

My family and I visited on July 9, 2026. The service was good, and everyone we interacted with was…read morevery friendly. Unfortunately, both my wife and I became very ill after eating here. We ate lunch around 2:00 p.m. I ordered the Grilled Reuben, and my wife ordered the fried bologna sandwich. Less than an hour after our meal, I developed severe diarrhea, and every time I tried to eat afterward, it became worse. My symptoms lasted for several hours, continuing until about 1:00 a.m. My wife also became sick shortly after me, though her illness wasn't quite as severe as mine. The only other meal we had that day was breakfast at around 7:30 a.m. at a different restaurant in another state, several hours before lunch. While I can't say with absolute certainty what caused our illness, the timing of our symptoms makes us strongly suspect it was related to the food we ate here. Because of this experience, we won't be bringing our family back.

Lovely restaurant in Cherokee Casino. Before being seated I…read moreasked about ordering from the kids menu. I'm a senior, didn't want so much food, was told yes, no problem. I ordered the kids lasagna with asparagus. I mentioned 3 times that I was ordering from the kids menu. Other orders at the table were the mushroom ravioli, grilled salmon, kids Mac and cheese and kids chicken tenders. Great reviews of the ravioli, Mac and cheese and chicken fingers. The salmon came with a medley of vegetables. They were very disappointing. My meal came. A huge plate of lasagna, I said this can not be the kids portion. Waitress looks at me with frustration. Oh, I'll check if it's okay that you ordered from the kids menu, we will adjust the pricing. Two other people at the table looked at her in disbelief, they heard me twice say kids portion/menu. Asparagus wasn't just grilled it was burnt, inedible. The lasagna is amazing. Just disappointed with our waitresses attitude as a whole. But would go back again. More good food than bad!

Wow, GET the lobster and shrimp fettuccini and you won't regret it!…read moreThat "light" cream sauce was on point. It was exactly as I imagined from the pic. Saucy, yet creamy, and the lobster was bursting with flavor. I couldn't have had this as a better dish in many other places. I think the chefs, whoever they were, were on point tonight! This was a Wednesday. For my "dessert" I had an espresso martini. Also excellent. I don't give these good reviews lightly, but this place was on point! You won't regret this dish. I WILL get it again! The only drawback @brio is your bread, it's too hard. I couldn't mop up my sauce and clean my plate if I wanted to, which I did! But I made it work by "soaking" the bread for about ten minutes before finishing it off. Kudos to you guys. If you're lactose intolerant, it's probably worth the price you'll pay

First up, Kyle is an amazing server. We really enjoyed his personality. Cheers to Kyle!…read more Secondly, this was our second time eating here at Ruth's in the casino. The reason I didn't write a review after the first visit was because I needed to give them a second chance. The first visit was not good. All I will say about it is thank goodness they removed the lobster bisque from the menu. And word of advice about most restaurants, you don't want to be one of the last tables before closing. No one wants to be there! Ok, back to January 2026! We had 8:15 reservations. We stopped by to see if we could be seated earlier and they said they had nothing available. Ummmmm, there was like 20-30 tables open! They just didn't have the servers. So we waited and got Kyle, who again was awesome. Because of something wrong with my throat, I could only order soft food. So I ordered the Veal Osso Buco Ravioli and Au Gratin potatoes. The ravioli was a table win for all of us! Best bite of the night. The potatoes were not a winner. Au gratin potatoes are supposed to be in a flavorful cheesy cream sauce. We got a bowl of diced white potatoes with melted cheese on top. No seasoning. No sauce. I was looking for soft food, not flavorless! It was not a good look for a steak house. Speaking of steak, JD did enjoy his steak both visits, so they've got that very important part going for them. The restaurant is huge. I saw a sign out front that its capacity is 600+. But with their staffing issues, at least they realize not to seat a full restaurant. They even had signs up that To-Go orders were not allowed the Friday night we were there. Would I eat here again, yes. Is it a must have when at the casino? Not for me.

We were visiting from Florida, and this was the best food we had our entire trip to North Carolina!…read moreIt was simply delicious! We had the Delmonico steak with onion rings, cheese curds, country fried steak with mashed potatoes, chicken livers and fries. The chicken livers were light, crispy and delicious! All the food was "clean"... not greasy and amazing! The Customer Service was fantastic. They were attentive and friendly! We decided to eat inside with the air-conditioning and we were very happy! They do have a porch outside with fans and tables and chairs for anyone who wants to sit next to the small brook. There is a TV inside and tables of all different sizes. We truly enjoyed our meal! We wished we had time to come back for a second time before we left NC!

The corn nuggets are just ok. Frozen and dropped into a deep fryer. No seasoning no dipping sauce…read more Just blah. The elk burger was very dry. It was burnt. The fries were very soft and no seasoning. The 12oz ribeyes special. were ordered medium rare. They came out over well done. They were super thin and tough. The corn had no butter or any other seasoning. The cubed potatoes were swimming in oil. The club sandwich was really good. Lots of meat and toppings. I went in to find our waiter. No staff was seen. After about 25 minutes he finally comes out to the table. We had him remove the steak dinners since we couldn't eat them. For some reason he showed us that he put them into the system medium rare. Thinking that would change things. Our waiter thought he should get a $50 tip on a $50 order. He did not check to see if we needed anything. He did not refill drinks. He was not seen for about 25 minutes.
