The story of The Cherokee is a story about a family business that started in the 1940s as Ruth’s Gift Shop. The owners were my grandparents, Ruth and James Wilson. They lived in an area of North Carolina that was known for hand-hooked rugs and chenille bedspreads. Ruth and James, along with several of Ruth’s 10 brothers and sisters, went up north and set up little road-side stands to sell their handcrafts in the summer. Out of necessity, my grandparents went west in search for yet another road-side rug stand. These locations were becoming harder and harder to find because of the nationwide interstate highway system being built. Their search ended at Chelsea, Oklahoma on old historic Route 66.

There was my husband and I and my 3 Grandkids. We had 2 specials.
And a swiss chicken burger with fries, which he got chips instead. Chicken strips and fries. And catfish baked potatoe green beans and 2 hushpuppies. The hush puppies were burnt. The specials had a sour taste. We sent one back cause my kid was starving. My husband didn’t want to go through the hassle. And ordered him a hamburger. The bun on top had something sticky on it. So that was another disappointment and only a 1/4 of it was eaten.. The fish was okay ( no tatorsause) and so was the Swiss burger. So at $100 dollars, and very bad service and the majority of the food not good. I doubt we will be back.
I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. She had a chef salad. The grilled chicken sandwich was next to inedible the onion rings that came with it couldn’t have been in the fryer very long because the onions were still raw and the breading was barely brown. My wife’s salad was indescribable.
We looked at the reviews before we stopped so we were not prepared for what we found. The people who gave it five stars might, have had too many adult beverages. We chatted with a couple of people on the way out and their experiences were similar to ours. If you’re hungry, the food is edible and it does get a grudging three stars but that is in large part due to our server, she did try hard.
