Chestnut Tree - Cherokee ᏣᎳᎩ

We had reservations for the Christmas Dinner Buffet. In the past, the food was always excellent. Unfortunately, this time was a different experience. The vegetable buffet was cold, to the point where the cheese sauce on the broccoli had hardened. None of the vegetables were hot, and some were not very good. They ran out of shrimp early on, and the meats were not hot either. The lamb was hard and overcooked, and there were few desserts available. The tossed salad seemed to come from a package. We usually enjoy taking visitors to this restaurant, but after this experience, we will think twice. When we mentioned to the buffet servers that the vegetables were cold, they just shrugged and did nothing.

I was recommended to this restaurant by a local at the grocery store, and I am so glad I came. My wife and I arrived at around 6 p.m on a Friday night and the restaurant was bustling with customers. We both opted for the Seafood buffet and it was absolutely fantastic. The crab legs and fried grouper were delicious, and the prime rib was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. I highly suggest trying this place out.
