A Complete Guide to Guy Fieri's Cherokee Kitchen + Bar at Harrah's Cherokee Casino

Restaurant in Bryson City NC

Guy Fieri's Cherokee Kitchen + Bar is inside Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort — a high-energy restaurant with bold portions, a full bar, and the kind of over-the-top menu that fits the Flavortown brand. It's a good pick for a lively dinner before or after a show, or a late-night meal after the casino floor.

Must-Try Dishes

  • Trash Can Nachos — Stacked chips with smoky pulled pork, cheese, and BBQ sauce
  • Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Wings — Sticky, sweet, and hard to stop eating
  • Mayor of Flavortown Burger — Cheese, bacon, donkey sauce, and a lot of it
  • Big Bite Chicken Sandwich — Crispy, spicy, and well-seasoned
  • Mac Daddy Mac 'N' Cheese — Creamy with a crunchy baked top

When to Go

Evenings and weekends are the liveliest. It's well-positioned for dinner before a Harrah's show or a late-night meal after gaming. Reservations are worth making on weekends — it fills up.

Tips

  • Reserve ahead on weekends
  • Portions are large — come hungry or plan to share
  • The signature cocktails are worth ordering
  • The cheesecake challenge is real — ask about it if you're feeling ambitious
