Really annoying country music playing but other than that minor quibble, excellent service and tasty food. Great steaks, veggies and bourbon pecan pie. Ellison was a lovely server and a manager/owner came to check in twice so we felt well taken care of and will definitely be back

My husband and I chose to eat here while on vacation this week. The food was phenomenal! So much better than any other places we ate in the area over the week. The atmosphere was great and the service was prompt, polite and friendly. The price point was spot on for the large servings of delicious well made food! We will be back!

Hands down the best dining experience of my 54 years. The restaurant is beautiful and very clean. The food outstanding and service top notch. I had salmon and a side of fried brussel sprouts and they were incredible. We also got a show when the elk began their parade down the sidewalk. Go and thank me later.

Impromptu dinner and what a treat! Got there early and was seated immediately. Hostess was really nice. New menu, but amazing options. Alyssa was our server. Super nice. Ordered everything we wanted at once! Appetizer was shrimp cocktail. Amazing. While we were eating our appetizer the new GM Drew came up to introduce himself. Drew was extremely knowledgeable and explained his vision for the restaurant. His vision is perfect for this restaurant. Needless to say, everything was amazing! I would highly, highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Cherokee NC. Sure there are restaurants in town at the casino and others, but I would take time to go to Circle H Chophouse for an amazing dining experience. And yes, we took desert back to the room.

Outstanding! Just driving by and decided to stop in. We were seated immediately, and our server came by right away to take our drink orders. She was very sweet and made all great recommendations. The general manager Drew had made his way over by then very personable, engaged in the process and made sure quality was a priority! We ordered a few things and shared these good sized plates. The fried green tomatoes and grits were delicious! One of my favorites and so happy they had them here. The cocktail sauce with the shrimp was very good, my husband enjoyed those. Also had the crab cakes, mac n cheese and meatballs. Great place! Highly recommend.

We had an amazing meal at the Circle H Chophouse! They brought us fresh, hot rolls with butter while we perused the menu; they were some of the best rolls I'd ever tasted! Our server Reba was wonderful! She was so helpful, answered all of our questions, told us about the specials, followed up with sweet tea & ice water. I got the Mushroom Swiss burger with sweet potato fries & the burger was so big that I could only eat half of it! There were so many delicious choices on the menu, everything from salads to dessert - they have something for every taste! My burger was cooked to perfection & so tasty. If you're in Cherokee NC, do yourself a favor & make sure to have a meal at the Circle H!!

All I can say is Baby the food, drinks, and service was amazing Me and my husband said the food was the best we've had in a long time. We had Bison Meatballs. I had chopped steak over mashed potatoes and my husband had 14 oz ribeye, mac n cheese, and brussel sprouts. Service was awesome!
