    The food here was much better than I expected for a tourist site restaurant. We really enjoyed the chicken and pulled pork.

    Our food was served cold even though we was the first there. Our waitress was very sweet but the poor food will be the reason we won’t go back.

    Food was very good, service was outstanding. We had the burgers and the chicken with grits. French fries were homemade and well seasoned. Burgers were huge and tasty. Two Thumbs up.

    The food was superb! We splurged on dessert and the red velvet cake did not disappoint.

    Today is a quiet, chilly Tuesday in early March. It was like having the house, and restaurant, to ourselves. It was wonderful. Service was warm and friendly, as always. Never had a bad experience at the Stable Cafe, even when it’s super busy.

    Both of us ordered the Stable Burger. One was burned to a tough consistency and one charred, both grilled far too much. Cole slaw and mashed potatoes were very good. Coffee was excellent, as was the Biltmore Pinot Grigio. Dessert (cream cheese/apple crisp tart) should have been warmed slightly-it was very cold. Service was very good, showing a pleasant demeanor, with attentiveness and responding well to our requests.
