Found this restaurant on a side trip while at Harrah's. Their sign claimed "best burgers" and we decided to check them out. They have a really neat front porch area you can eat on complete with ceiling fans which several people were taking advantage of. The restaurant was very clean, the staff quite friendly. I had a basic 1/4 lb... More

Ok food using local themed ingredience, however, no beer/wine to compliment my my meal. I had petite rib-eye steak. It was good, not fanastic. My friends had and elk steak and we satisfied. Basically nothing special, just ok. We did not have other dinning options as it was early season and other establishments may not have been open for the... More

We were driving thru Cherokee in April, everything was closed except a few shops. We stopped at Pauls for dinner. My daughter doesn't normally eat meat, but they have an Indian Taco (which is Indian chilli poured over flat bread) she loved it. Our meal was very good and hit the spot, we were tired from driving all day. We... More

We stopped for a quick lunch. My wife had the Indian Taco. Interesting but average. More bread than needed. I had the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. OK , I guess.

Not near Paula Deen's standards. I will never eat there again. Can you imagine a Pot Roast with no juice or gravy! No real vegies and very small salad bar!

We always go to Pauls when we visit and we actually went twice on our last visit. Well, I'm torn because the lunch we had was delicious BUT the dinner we had (or didn't have) was a nightmare. First the lunch we had the day before was delicious. I had a burger that tasted chargrilled and was very good. I... More

The service was so horrible I didn't even want to try the food when it finally arrived . After seeing first hand how the owner"Paul"talked to his employees I can understand why the atmosphere was so uncomfortable. If you still decide to visit there and the cashier happens to b a woman named Jeanie please don't waste your time just... More

We've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Pretty basic menu but the food is really good. The daily specials offer good choices that aren't on the menu. Outdoor seating in the warmer months is nice but smokers usually sit outside (no smoking in restaurant) so if you're not a smoker, sit inside. Small parking area. The folks... More
