The Stable

I think we are becoming regulars here. It's such a relaxing and friendly place with good food and service. This trip I tried the crab Rangoon dip and oh man, it was simply delicious. It comes with big chunks of crab meat covered in a cheese sauce and fresh fried crispy wonton chips. My only complaint was that I didn't order one entirely for myself! My entree was the almost skinny chicken sandwich. The pretzel bun, bacon, and house made honey mustard dressing combined with a grilled chicken breast and Gouda cheese is a near perfect combination if you ask me. One note for the fine operators here, the side salad in the teeny tiny boat dish was maybe 4 bites. Waaay too small. Pretty sure lettuce is cheap so let's get a nice side bowl next time?

So I found myself in Pendleton and stopped here. Pretty much sorry that I did. They close at 7pm on Sunday and I arrived at 6:20pm. I sat down at the bar and waited 10 minutes for someone to actually notice me at the bar. I asked for a menu and a cocktail menu. I chose a cocktail off of their menu, Birthday Cake martini. I also chose the Garden Delight panini and the loaded fries on the side (yes there was an up charge for this). The bartender who seemed new put my order in and then started searching for the ingredients for the martini. I heard him discussing the ingredients for the martini with someone who clearly worked there but was on the customer side of the bar eating. I heard him ask about the raspberry cream that goes in the drink and there was none and then I heard her say just use strawberry. What? So they were going to sub strawberry (known allergen) without telling me. I spoke up then and said it is raspberry and she said you can use either one, so be careful y'all. I looked at the bartender and said just give me a pineapple and Malibu rum. Super simple! This was definitely a bar and it matters who is sitting at the bar as to how loud it is. It is all pretty open. So I received my food soon after that and the loaded fries were anything but, take a look at the pics! The sandwich was alright hence the two stars except by the time I got to the second half it was a bit soggy on the second side and I did not eat it or the fries which were severely lacking. Unlikely I will give this place a second try.

The Hot Honey Pizza is excellent, nice flavor. Great vibe here. Of note, the bathroom made me laugh.

The Almost Skinny is my new favorite!! Great recommendation by the server. The grilled tenderloin was also very good as an alternative to the traditional breaded version. The beers on tap rotate frequently which is great if you enjoy trying new craft beers.

Cute little bar in downtown Pendleton. By the name, I thought it might be one of those dingy, peanuts on the floor type of places ... but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and cozy it was inside. Drink prices were affordable and the bartenders were attentive without being annoying and were also very funny. The locals/regulars were very welcoming to us as well. We'll be back and will check out the food next time!

We love the Stable. Their Cheeseburger pizza is one of a kind. So good! This time I tried the Chicken fingers with waffle fries. The chicken and fries were really good. We enjoy their beers on tap and love how they change their draft selection so that we can try new local beers. If you are ever in Pendleton on a Monday, stop in if they are playing BINGO. So much fun! They have it 2 x a month I believe.

The food is always good. The service is very personal and friendly. They are awesome and the atmosphere is great.

Good food. Good service. Live music. Kitchen open late. Good price. It was late and a few of us needed to eat before we drove back to Indy. So we stopped in at The Stable to eat. We got the buckeyes for an appetizer. They are pretzel bites with a cheese sauce. I did not get a picture of them because they were eaten so quickly. I got a bacon cheeseburger. It was good. All of the food that my friends got looked really good including the salads. I enjoyed the live music. About 3 different groups were up performing. A good variety of covers. Definitely a place to grab a quick bite at night and catch some local bands.

Good food, service, and ambiance. Enjoy stopping in for a drink and dinner. Have watched music here and it is fun. It is loud so it's hard to talk, but it's a fun time.

We went to The Stable and got two burgers and a few beers. First off, the burgers were some of the best we've had in a while (and we eat burgers a lot). They are very fast and friendly. The vibe of the place is a 10/10 as well. We will definitely be back.
