    The Stable Cafe was a perfect place for lunch during our visit to the Biltmore Estate. It is attached to the main house which made it very convenient. The service and food were outstanding. We would definitely eat here again.

    The waitress was very friendly. My food came lukewarm. She returned with a fresh hot plate. Then the manager came over and apologized for the food being cool and offered me a free dessert. The meatloaf was delicious.

    This is my go too place for lunch when at the Biltmore. I love the fresh offerings, the meals are plentiful and the selection perfect. I love the atmosphere in the stable. I just wish there were historic placards at the table to give you a sense of the place before it became a cafe. Evan was an amazing server.

    This exceeded my expectations. The salad was wonderful and the staff could not have been more lovely. It was a touch noisy, but, it's an open air stable, so that is to be expected. Would definitely go back!

    Picked this restaurant because it had so many gluten-free options and the menu was labeled GF. Also, liked the fact that items with nuts had a nut symbol. The Trout Almandine was excellent. The sampler was average and a bit overpriced. However, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

    None of the restaurants on the Biltmore estate disappoint. However, The Stable Cafe happens to be my top choice for estate dining. The menu is big and reasonably priced for Biltmore prices, plus there’s a kids menu and a decent wine list.

    Delicious and refreshing after a tour of the Biltmore! We had reservations for about an hour and a half after the start of our audio tour, and the timing worked great. The menu had great selection for the whole family, and our waitress was exceedingly attentive despite a packed restaurant. We felt so cared for and enjoyed our meal!

    The pimento cheese dip appetizer was very good and the service was attentive without being overwhelming. My husband's burger was just okay and my chicken salad sandwich was fine, but didn't have a ton of flavor. It was big enough to share, I thought. 1 appetizer, 2 sodas and two sandwiches came to $70 with tax and tip. The sandwiches were in the $17 ballpark and the entrees were $27+
