The Biltmore Estate restaurant is worth of its reputation and rating! The food and service were amazing and the staff truly make you feel welcome and appreciated. We would like to callout our server, Liana, who was so kind and attentive and knowledgeable and despite being very busy, always made us feel like she had all the time in the world for us. She also helped make my birthday celebration special. We look forward to our next visit.

We have enjoyed all three weekend buffets at Blue Ridge in the past, with Mother’s Day being the best both last and this year. For a regular weekend buffet, we prefer Friday night’s seafood offerings. This visit we were pleased to discover the addition of a low country boil station alongside the traditional offerings of freshly shucked oysters, crab legs, crab cakes, boiled and fried shrimp and many more selections. Everything was well prepared and delicious. In fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we rearranged our travels to return there in a couple of weeks!

Maggie Valley

About the restaurant

The Pin High Bar & Grille at Maggie Valley Club offers a casual, serene ambience designed to make everyone feel comfortable, from golfers to families and friends. Enjoy a large-screen television and fireplace inside while taking in all that our fully stocked bar has to offer. Or enjoy the breathtaking views of the first tee outside on the restaurant’s covered veranda. This kind of dining treatment is what you’d expect from a western North Carolina golf club, and it’s exactly what we deliver to you.

As far as the actual dining experience in the Pin High, we know you won’t be disappointed. We support local farmers and use the freshest ingredients in our meal production, and you may enjoy these menu items from the lounge or in a private dining room if you’re celebrating with a large party.

Friday & Saturday are currently the only nights that we are serving dinner, but we also happily book private events at our beautiful property.
