The Scene
Neither pretentious nor homogenized, the Cherokee Steak House has been homey and friendly since the late '50s, and it still has that faux flagstone carpeting. On the banks of Old Hickory Lake, the property is also home to resort cabins from its heyday and a marina with ample dock space for boaters.
The Food
This beef is the stuff of legends, full of flavor and marbled to keep the cuts moist and tender. Fans of filet should order the 6-oz petite version. Although the Cherokee Chief cut is larger, it's a little too marinated in a worcestershire-type sauce. The 10-oz Queen New York Strip is also marinated but has a much more subtle flavor. One of the best bargains on the menu is the platter of sirloins that you can order for two, three or four. Cherokee also offers a tasty blackened catfish and grouper, as well as turf's partner, lobster tail.

My family and I dined at Cherokee Steak House last weekend, and the food was absolutely horrible. There were 11 of us, and noone enjoyed their meal. Every single steak was not properly cooked, and we had to wait 90 minutes for a table. Honestly, for almost $300 you can get such a better meal. In the day, this was the only decent steakhouse in the area, but those days are gone. I wish they could get their quality back, but time after time we seem to be dissapointed. The restaurant is close by, and we always try to give it another shot, but we will not anymore. Also, there was a waitress that was very rude and you could tell she had no class the way she was speaking to a friend in the dining area. Do not waste your money.

I dined at Cherokee Steak House last week, and was very pleased with the wait for we got right in. The service at Cherokee was remarkable, but the food was horrible! I ordered the pasta dish, and the noodles were obviously not fresh as well as the chicken was dry and tough. My husband always orders the filet along with lobster, but lobster was rubbery and steak was fatty. The couple with us had o.k. food, but said they will not be back, for the choices in the area are far better quality food for the price. Onion rings are out of this world, but that's about it.

My family and I recently ate dinner at Cherokee Steak House. The wait was almost 2 hours, and by the time we had sit down to order, the waitress proceeded to tell us they were out of 5 different items on the menu we always get. We overlooked the problem and ordered something else. The food wasn't warm when it arrived and steaks were overcooked. The waitress was very nice and discounted the bill even though we ate most of it. Service is excellent but they need to step it up when it comes to food quality for the price.
