Staking a claim

For Cherokee Casino & Hotel West Siloam Springs guests looking for a different kind of dining experience, the Flint Creek Steakhouse may fit the bill.

“We serve all USDA Choice cuts,” Don said. “Sometimes we may offer a prime steak on special. We serve center cut fillets, cowboy ribeye, which is a bone-in ribeye. We have a regular rib eye and a New York strip, too. We also have a 24-ounce porterhouse that you can smother with mushrooms, sautéed onions or blue cheese crumbles. It’s a very big porterhouse and one of our top sellers.”

Flint Creek offers all of the side dishes a steak fan could want including baked potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, steak fries, green beans, broccoli, fried potatoes, coleslaw, rice pilaf, fried okra, grilled asparagus, sweet corn and mashed potatoes with peppered gravy. All entrees are served with two sides.

Flint Creek offers a rotating selection of signature desserts as well.

“Billie Jean is changing those on a bi-monthly basis,”

Don added. “A couple of dessert staples are Oreo cake, a peanut butter brownie and a cast iron skillet cherry pie crumble which is another big seller.”

While the menu selection is a draw for Flint

Creek patrons,

Don believes the atmosphere they have created is a unique draw, too.

“It’s rustic,” Don said. “We have exposed fans in the ceiling and an exposed rock fireplace in the middle as a focal point. We have exposed brick walls in the back and 100-yearold wood tables and chairs. Just a nice country atmosphere and a nice relaxing place to come in and have a steak.”
