Cherokee Trading Post

Back in Okc and I had to make the drive out to Cherokee Trading Post, once again. I remember coming to Cherokee as a child, each time I enter it reminds me of home.Loads of treasure inside this unassuming building, including the always friendly employees.Handcrafted jewelry & pottery, leather goods, wallets, boots, moccasins, wind chimes, kids toys, knives, art, clothing & shoes for everyone plus much, much more! You can also find gasoline, great food & photo ops just outside the Cherokee Trading Post doors.

It doesn't look like much, but it is very much worth stopping in at if you want a decent stretch break in the middle of nowhere. The gift shop is fairly extensive. Go to the building in back, not the gas station. There is live buffalo out back too! It's a tiny tourist trap, but with decent prices and a good stretch break. Friendly staff too!

You just have to stop here. It's a great tourist trappy style gift shop and gas station. I got a really beautiful copper ring in the gift shop. There was a lot of cool stuff for sale, great selection of jewelry. Fun for taking pictures!

We love this stop and visit every year. You will find all kinds of wonderful and inexpensive gifts for you and all your friends. In addition to the shopping, there are restaurants, charging stations and Buffalo on the picturesque ( lots of Pic opportunities) grounds. This is a don't miss spot!!

I totally scored here.Okay, they have Pendleton blankets, purses, etc. They have the standard Indian Trading Post stuff, But I found an onyx shot glass (for my shot glass collection), onyx eggs, etc at a good price. I truly scored in the clothes. I found 2 lightweight jackets that I can wear to court (I'm an attorney), and a sweater. The prices were decent and the style cool. Of course they have the standard Indian Trading Post stuff, but there was a lot of good mixed in with the stuff

The hundreds of billboards advertising for this place make it sound a lot cooler than it is. And the lone, cold Buffalo I saw made me quite sad.

The food was so good! Yummy yeast rolls and stew hit the spot on a cold day! Everything is good from the appetizers to dessert! The only thing I would change is to add Coca Cola to their beverages!

Stopped in after a rigorous hike at Red Rock Canyon. We had our dog with us, so I ran in and placed a to-go order. 2 buffalo cheeseburgers, 1 order of fries, 1 order of onion rings, 1 plain buffalo patty (for the pup) and one chocolate chip cookie (I saw the dessert case and the waves of temptation washed over me). Burgers and onion rings are excellent and not greasy which was appreciated! Fries were a bit bland. The cookie was great! The waitress told me all desserts are homemade except the cheesecake and you can tell by the look and taste. Very clean-looking establishment, and the waitress who took my order was beyond friendly. There are shelves of local or almost-local jams, peppers, and honey if you feel like bringing home an edible souvenir. My only gripe - the place is HUGE, but no outdoor seating of any kind. Not even some picnic tables. When you're taking a long road trip, it's nice to sit outside on nice days - not totally uncommon to see this in a "rest stop" type of area. Definitely worth the stop if you are along the way!

Cherokee Restaurant? Not sure how Cherokee-style it is but it's quite good for a western Oklahoma roadside restaurant. First salad bar since Covid, and it's ingredients were fresh and high quality. Catfish fillets were prepared deliciously.I didn't see anything particularly Cherokee on the menu but I do recommend this place if you are coming through.

Wow- loved this stored. So much cool stuff to see from all kinds of leather goods, Indian made crafts, jewelry galore - both real and costume. Lots of beautiful leather, jackets, boots, belts - I could go on and on. Great place to stop!!
