    We had a lovely experience at Cedric's! Our dog was with us, so we sat out on the patio, sipped on wine, had some great food (try the Shepherd's Pie), and were thrilled to also be given grilled chicken for our pup! We highly recommend booking a table on the patio if it's a nice day.

    Cedric's Tavern in Antler Village, is named in honor of the Vanderbilt's beloved dog. There's a statue in front commemorating him, as well as family photos inside. As beloved as he was, his namesake doesn't guarantee an outstanding meal at this popular eatery. We had dinner reservations for 6:30, and we were seated in a spacious booth near the back. The pretzel rolls with mustard butter and chicken soup (tasty and very thick) were nice starters. My fish and chips plate was not satisfying. Though served very hot, the fish was quite brown (over fried?) and chewy. The fries were neither hot nor crispy. Overall, this was very disappointing. My companion pronounced their salad Just ok. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, our server was prompt and friendly, but I had higher expectations for our meal.

    Shari and I had our Lunch at Cedric's Tavern named after their Beloved St Bernard. The restaurant was fabulous! I ordered Ice Water w Lemon & Lime adding my flavored enhancement packet and Shari went w Sweet Tea. She also ordered for the table the pretzel rolls w Dijon infused butter. I went with Homemade Minestrone Soup and she had the absolutely Gorgeous Rueben Sandwich w homemade chips! Everything including the service was impeccable! Definitely recommend!

    Cedric's Tavern was one of my favorite places to eat at the Biltmore. I liked the relaxed atmosphere and the everything on the menu looked really good. I wasn't too hungry so just got a soup and salad. They were able to split an entree salad across two people and it was still a good size portion. Definitely recommend a reservation because the wait was impossibly long if you didn't plan ahead!

    I'm not sure if they seat people without reservations but I'd definitely recommend having one. Even though it's a a "tavern", it's family friendly, which I would expect at a touristy spot. There are a few tvs for those wanting to enjoy a drink and a game, but the tvs are small. My extended family of 9 had a 4pm reservation the day after Christmas and didn't pay and leave until 5:30, cutting it close for our 6pm tour of the Biltmore House. Our server was knowledgeable and pleasant but the kitchen was slow. Our family had a regular burger (comes with double patties), a pork burger, fish and chips, shepherds pie, chicken wings with buffalo sauce, and a couple of kids meals (corn pups and grilled chicken tenders). Everyone enjoyed their burgers although there were some complaints of the buns being too crispy. My husband said the fish and chips weren't that great. I personally enjoyed their shepherds pie although it could've used more lamb. My son liked his chicken wings but it's barely dressed with the buffalo sauce, we had to ask for a side cup. The prices are fair for what you get. We also enjoyed local beers, ciders, and a mocktail.

    The food here was AMAZING. The only bad thing about the pretzel rolls is that there were not enough with the order. I will apologize for the dessert picture, more did come with it, just forgot to take the picture when it arrived. The burger was really tasty and juicy. The service was really good as he was a great server, always on point. It was a really good atmosphere in there as well. 2025-19 #570

    We ate lunch here on our second day at Biltmore. It was our favorite restaurant on the property. My son loved the fact it was themed after the Biltmore pet. Our waitress was really good. She made excellent recommendations and answered our questions. We started with the pretzel rolls. They were delicious and we enjoyed the mustard butter it came with. My son dropped one of the rolls and the waitress was sweet enough to bring him a replacement. Their menu is seasonal so I was able to enjoy a spring pasta dish. The pasta dish was amazing and I was glad I added Scottish salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked and had a crisp crust. My son loved the cheeseburger and fries. They brought him a brownie and ice cream since it was his birthday. The dessert was also really good. I would highly recommend coming to the tavern and you can make reservations to make sure you don't have to wait.

    We were at Biltmore Estate . After the visit to the estate and winery we came here for late lunch. Nice upscale restaurant friendly waiters . My husband ordered Pork burger .Pork fresh from Biltmore farm. Very tasty no meaty smell . Came with bone fried crunchy potato chips . I ordered Shepherd pie . Again beef and lamb from their own farm . Small portion still I liked it . Enjoyed our meal.

    Service is great, food was amazing! Outdoor seating was pleasant. This is usually where we eat when we come.

    We are staying at the Village Hotel and enjoyed walking around the village before dinner. The interior is comfortable with a lovely outdoor patio. I was curious about the steak special with Biltmore beef topped with a caramel/wine reduction and an olive, parsley, pomegranate salad. It was a delicious inventive combination! I wasn't as excited about the PB&J tart because the angel food cake was a little dry and the peanut butter didn't help. The rest of my party enjoyed the shepherd's pie, orecchiette, and pasty. The chocolate cake looked to die for, and the peach tart was tasty! The staff was very friendly and accommodated a mushroom allergy.

    The food was fantastic, and the customer service was exceptional. I ordered the Shepherd's Pie, which, at first glance, seemed like a small portion, but it turned out to be more than I could finish. Our server, Catherine, was very attentive to our needs. When we ordered, she informed us that our food would be out shortly. Within minutes, she brought us a basket of soft pretzel rolls to apologize for the delay in our meal. If you find yourself at the Biltmore Estate, plan to stop in at Cedric's Tavern.

    Extremely friendly and fast service, great setting, and delicious food. However, the portion sizes were really small for the price.

    Excellent destination for a good beer paired with some food. The beer menu is actually fairly…read moreinteresting. Lot's of eclectic spice and vegetable beers, but the pairings are generally interesting and well done. They also have a few more traditional beer styles, if that's what you're in the mood for. The space is also very nicely done. Plenty of room at the bar. A somewhat dark and muted color tone that created the feel of a slightly rustic and understated space. I liked it. In terms of food, I ordered a mediterranean bowl and was pretty happy with it. Reasonably well presented. Some evidence of investing effort in creating an individualized concept. The ingredients were also very fresh. The toppings also fell within a reasonable balance. It wasn't overwhelming. It wasn't the best salad of this type that I've had, but it made for something crisp and fresh to pair with a pint. All that having been said, my suggestion would be to go for the beer. If you want to order food alongside your beer, that's secondary.

    Great downtown spot located near Pack Park, a music hall, and numerous restaurants and shops. The…read morestaff were super friendly and welcoming and they were very dog-friendly. The inside had plenty of seating while the outdoor patio was perfect for dogs and getting some sun. Wicked Weed was highly recommended by locals and visitors alike. They have a good selection of beers including pre-organized flights and the food was really good as well - I enjoyed the steakhouse burger. Worth a visit for beer, food, and just an overall friendly and welcoming environment.
