Restaurants near Cherokee Wildlife Management Area

I come to Connor's because they consistently provide an excellent dining experience. Today was no different. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and fast. The best part, of course, was the food. My blue cheese butter filet was a perfectly cooked medium rare and the bisque was both rich and delicious, as usual. My dining partner had the prime rib sandwich and fries and was well satisfied...and happy to discover horseradish was included. Finally tried the spicy Korean ribs and they didn't disappoint - tender, flavorful, and just enough spice to leave a pleasant burn. Super pleased with everything!

Unanimously the best meal my husband and I had of 2024. We were seated on the patio on a 40 degree night, and it was perfectly comfortable. The pork belly “small plate” knocked our socks off, and the veggie pasta was outstanding. Our only regret was not leaving room for dessert, because that doughnut bread pudding looked BOMB. Didn’t particularly care for our server. He was easily distracted and kept repeating himself. A dinner for 2 turned into a 2 hour affair, but the biggest hangups were coming back to take our order and bringing us our bill. Could have been an off night for him, we’ve all been there, and it didn’t alter our experience to keep us from ever coming back.

We always look forward to dining at Ruth's Chris in Cherokee. The extensive wine list is quite impressive, the food always delicious and the service exceptional. Thank you to Jessica for making our night even more memorable by surprising us with our dessert for our anniversary.

We love this place! Excellent drinks and lots of menu options. One of our Knox favorites!

We sat at a table for two in the bar near the fireplace which was very nice and quiet. The service from Robert (for the two evenings we were there) was exceptional-he was attentive without being overbearing and offered excellent recommendations when it came to drink orders and wine pairings. The food was phenomenal which was a wonderful surprise considering how remote the Lodge is-the first night we both ordered the trout which I am still dreaming about! The four courses were consistently great both nights and the offerings quite extensive so kudos to the owners for hiring an excellent chef and kitchen staff! I would rate our total dining experience five stars and would return again to the Lodge based on solely on the meals & service!
