We are currently staying at the Casino and just wanted on our first night to have something simple so we decided a burger at The Landing Cafe. Service was good but probably the worst burger we have ever gotten! To top this the Fries were cold. We commented to the waitress our concerns and she basically said "O well". So my advice is eat off the premises.

Overall both Cherokee locations rate poorly on food. The Landing Cafe is just ok.I wish that they'd explore a cheese selection for pizza that is both chewable and digestible. Instead they have cheap rubberish cheese.

When my wife come to Murphy to go to the casino, we always eat at the landing cafe. You should make reservations ahead of time, just so you have a table ready when you yourself are ready to eat. My wife and I usually get the Alfredo. Her, she gets the chicken alfredo, myself, I get the shrimp alfredo. The sauce is so rich and the dishes are so aromatic and mouth watering. They also give you little pieces of baguette bread(garlic) that are a nice extra piece of sunshine. Very Friendly staff. Depending on how much you play, you can also get the meat comped, if you have enough player points!! Try it, you'll like it!

Excellent service and food. I had a 12 oz NY strip steak that was cooked to perfection. The calabash shrimp and garlic mashed potatoes were excellent. Wonderful and friendly wait staff. Looks like they get really busy so you might want to make a reservation. They even have a robot waiter who picks up and delivers to other parts of the casino (see my video). A must try if you are in Murphy. Forgot to mention...above average wine list!!

Our waitress was awesome. We got the bread and salads before we got our drinks (water). After that she was spot on. I ordered the filet mignon, I'm not positive that it's a filet mignon. It was very bland. I order filet mignon wherever I go that offers it. I will not get it again, here. Wife ordered the ribeye. She said it was ok. She said the steak didn't have any flavor and her baked potato tasted different. The shrimp I added to my steak was excellent. A little too spicy for my wife.If we come back, we won't order steak. I guess steak isn't there specialty.

The food has been excellent each visit. The service, if dining in, is also excellent. However, the service for takeout rates from so-so to poor. If ordering takeout, you are directed to a stand past the entrance. The menu is limited. Last night I was the only one standing and waiting to order, as the female staff looked at me, and ignored me. The host told me that she would take my order. She didn't. I left.

Don’t eat here. Ever. My daughter ordered a filet, it was a sirloin. I ordered a ribeye for $42, it was gristle. My wife and son had sea bass, I am sure it was cod. The asparagus was thin and uncooked. As a Caesar’s member Just don’t ever eat here. Ever.
Very disappointed. I’ve not written a poor restaurant review in the past but felt an obligation to do so. My wife and planned to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving Dinner out and chose The Landing Café assuming that a pricy casino restaurant would be of quality. It was not. The onion soup had a heat-in-the-bag taste. My wife’s salmon dinner was dry and bland as could be. The vegetables were way under-cooked, even on the second attempt. My “traditional turkey dinner with all the sides” was no better than a school lunch. My attempt to cover it with additional gravy was unsuccessful as they would not serve it to me. Personally, I like canned cranberry but, please, at least try to hide the indents from the aluminum can. We were there for a 3:30 pm reservation and already the desert options were limited. Despite the constant audible yelling of the kitchen manager, the team simply is either under-skilled or not permitted to cook up to quality. Always say something nice . . . the frazzled waitress did her best and bread was good. Not worth $128 for the two of us.

Went here to use some reward credits and had a terrible time. Had a great waitress at first, but halfway through dinner, she vanished. They could not cook a steak even though they tried 3 times for me and 2 time for my guest. We sat near the kitchen and could hear all the cooks being yelled at. We just left the casino after this experience. As a bonus, we saw our first waitress leaving as we walked out. Don't know what happened but she was the only positive part of our meal.

For over $120 for just the wife and I, it wasn't worth it. $2.35 each for a cup of coffee (old) and one ( no refill offered) soft drink. Started out with a cold piece of bread and butter. Then the appetizers were tough popcorn shrimp and grilled (so-so) shrimp. We ordered the rib eye steaks (medium well)and they were stringy and over 1/4 of it was fat and gristle. The large chunks of potatoes in the mashed potatoes were semi-warm and veggies were mushy. The waitress was friendly and attentive. But the food we could of got better at a chain steak house. Not worth the price, but its the only sit down restaurant at the casino so it's eat there or drive to town from there. I eat at one of the food booths next time.Parking: With the casino construction going on parking is limited so expect a long walk to get inside.Wheelchair accessibility: It's just inside the one entrance to the casino so if you can find a open parking place not too bad.

Using our entertainment dollar on some slots, my friend treated me to dinner here. This is located inside the Harrah's River Valley casino in Murphy, NC.I started with the French onion soup which had a nice beefy flavor. I also split some crab cakes that were pretty good as well with a mild remoulade sauce.Unfortunately, my salmon entree was waaayyyy over cooked! Like dry as a hockey puck! The mashed potatoes were plentiful but could not help that fish. The fried green tomatoes had a crust that was too thick and oddly very bland. I felt bad for leaving it uneaten - should have sent it back but it was a complimentary meal so took my loss. My friend's shrimp dinner was huge, so I ate some of her shrimp instead and we still couldn't eat it all - a massive portion.The service was excellent however so I would give it another shot in the future.
