    The service was genuinely outstanding. The ambiance - a converted stable was really fun. The food was yummy. The waiter bent over backwards to accommodate our preferences.

    Nice place to get lunch. Service is was wonderful. Love the setting, very quaint. Food was good. The bbq pork sandwich was a bit dry for my taste, I forgot to request the dressing for my salad on the side. The salad had too much dressing. But all in all a nice place for families and groups

    It is a great experience dining at Biltmore's Stable Café with tasty menu items and unique seating option within stables that once housed thoroughbred horses.

    First off, we didn’t receive our cornbread. Then when our plates came out, the fries were cold. The meal itself was ok. Hamburger my friend got said it was alright, not the best she’s had. And my bbq sandwich was tasty but not the best I had either. For the prices it felt like meals we could make ant home. Our hosted seemed to be distracted the whole time. While she was taking our order she would get easily distracted by what was going on and she would have to ask us to repeat or just didn’t seem to be reading our table. It wasn’t an awful experience but not the best.

    My wife had the Salad with strawberries & nuts, and I had the burger and fries. Both were excellent. The bread with the salad and the burger buns were both very good. The service was excellent.
