The quarters here are tight which is why I have 4 stars for atmosphere-you will literally rub elbows with other people because the space is small and the crowds are big! We came at 1:20pm on a Friday-had a ten minute wait which was quicker than expected since the line was out the door! It’s $13.95/Per person but a drink is not included-it’s $3.95 a drink which I found totally excessive and gouging! Water is free. The salad bar was good-not great-canned mushroom instead of fresh was disappointing-the lettuce mix was weird too but lots of options! The buffet has limited options-it’s not huge. This is not Golden Corral! But what they do serve is delicious. I’ve grown up in the south so at 56, I do have a taste for true southern food. The green beans are perfect, as is the fried chicken and the simple chicken gravy over rice-mmmmm-made me wanna slap my momma! It’s a great value except for the drinks-those should be $2.50 max! It’s off the beaten path but totally worth the deviation! I don’t recommend if you’re a true vegetarian because veggies had meat for seasoning. But we were thrilled to have a hot lunch that was made with Whole Foods for less than $30!

My server was a very pleasant lady named Mary Ann with 20 years of service here @ Granny’s‼️ Ms. Ann then introduced me to the Owner Mr. Ray Williams whom has been in business for over 41 years … since 1984 Mr. Williams added! Yikes‼️ (That’s A Long Time!)
First time patronizing this Restaurant, had a great overall Experience. Staffing was Classy and Professional. ❤️’ed Ms. Mary Ann‼️ Food was Downhome good, Reminding me of how my mother would cook. They got me to try their Baked Chicken‼️ I’ve not eaten chicken on the bone in I’ve 30 year … and it was good‼️Meat falling off the bone! Did l mention the bar is all you can eat!? I Will Certainly Be Back Here Soon‼️

Second visit to Granny’s to enjoy a great buffet meal. Make sure you have an appetite to get a plate or two.

Have been wanting to try this place and so happy we finally stopped. Stopped by after a leisurely drive up to Clingmans (Kuwohi) and Newfound Gap with hardly no one at either destination.
The staff was absolutely fantastic and the food was off the charts!!!!! Highly recommend everyone stop by and check them out.
Will definitely be telling all my friends and without a doubt be back many more times!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

First time I’ve gotten to eat here. It’s usually so busy when I’m up this way. Parking lot always full. I can see why.
They have buffet, all you can eat. I had some roast beef. It was really good. I picked out my fair share of carrots with it. Really tasty. Cole slaw was ok. Mac and cheese was ok. Green beans just didn’t have a taste. I ate one plate. Didn’t go back for anything else. $15.00 a person so, I can see why it is busy and popular for all you can eat. They have a sign you won’t see that states,” we reserve the right to charge extra for food left on plates”. I pay cash as I’ve seen this before.
Seemed clean enough. Tables close together. Plenty of parking. Handicap friendly. Staff was really nice.

I only come here on my vacation but when I’m here it’s the only place I go to eat. It just perfect everything is perfect for me. The food is home cooking excellent comfort food. The staff is friendly and quick with a refill. Priced right and the buffet is all you want. I’m sure there’s other places in Cherokee but, why go anywhere else when you know Granny’s is perfect already.
Note: I don’t give many 5 stars unless the place really deserves it. This place earns every star everytime. Please don’t change a thing. I’ll be back soon

This was a religious experience. I wanted to keep eating til they had to call an ambulance to roll me outta there from a self induced food coma, for breakfast AND dinner. Prices are also very reasonable.
There are no words to describe how good the food was. Normally for buffets, the quality isn’t quite as good as a normal sit down restaurant. This place tasted like Granny cooked this for her favorite grandson on his birthday.
The waitress was amazing both times, incredible hospitality. We can’t wait to come back.

We stopped at Granny’s while passing thru the area. We stopped because of all the cars parked and we did not realize it was a buffet. We got there at 11 am, breakfast buffet just ended and they were now serving lunch. The main entrée included fried chicken, fried haddock, ham and a delicious roast beef. There were several sides, salad options and chocolate pudding for dessert. Everything was good & hot. We got seated after a 10 minute wait, but when we left it was a 30 minute wait. One thing that did impress me, we met several “local” people who visit Granny’s frequently. That definitely tells you it is one of the better choices in Cherokee.
