Paul's Family Restaurant

Food and service was very good. I ordered fried green tomatoes and Indian tacos and they were so good. Everything was fresh and I would definitely order again. My husband had pulled pork with homemade chips and he ate every last thing on his plate. He said everything was really good. I stole one of his chips and it was nice and crispy. Service was great. Our waitress was very nice and friendly, We would definitely go back. They had a good menu and I really want to try their desserts

This is a restaurant recommended to us by a few locals. It does have a feel of a local place. Nothing fancy, actually pretty plain but it didn't disappoint. We were looking for a place that serves native Indian food and this restaurant had a section on the menu with native specialties. We ordered fried green tomato as an appetizer. It was pretty tasty. We also ordered trout. That was delicious. You can get it fried or grilled. I went for grilled and loved it. It's served with fries and hushpuppies. A great meal. We also had fried bread with elk burger from the native menu. It was really good. Simple, tasty food in a family restaurant. All in all, pretty good.

We took a side trip to try out Paul’s Family Restaurant. The restaurant was clean and quiet. Our waitress was friendly but she didn’t offer to refill our drinks even when we had emptied our glasses. The food was good but not outstanding. There are better options in Cherokee.

If you are looking for local dive place this is it. Pretty standard American food. Was hoping for traditional Cherokee cuisine. They do have fry bread and Indian Taco. I've had both those on Navajo tribal lands. Local trout, rabbit, buffalo, and elk were also on the menu. Food portions were good for the price. Atmosphere is very 1980s. Service was slow but I think there were only two servers working when I was there. There is indoor and outdoor seating.

We went to Cherokee for the weekend and lucked up on this spot!!had the shrimp olatter.. elk burger ...Buffalo burger and the mountain trout ALL of which were amazing as well as the fried bread!! If you plan on cherokee...PLAN on Pauls...some of the best eating anywhere!!there's a little stream next to the restaurant that feeds into the river across the street so you can hear the water flow and walk across the street to check it out just amazing experience all the way around!!
