The Stables at Westminster
Reviews
WOW!!! What a restaurant and bar. I have been going there for a little over a year and it's always great. The food is always delicious and people are friendly. By far, my favorite place to go!!
I'm trying to be as fair as I possibly can. I've been going to Stables for years, to eat and also to dance. First I'd like to comment on the food. Everything I've ever ordered has been good. The portions are large so I always wind up taking 1/2 of mine home! Plus and this is a sweet plus, the price is within my budget. On a positive note, I will say that new management is working at improving the decor. I was there this past weekend and I noticed that they've added lights and it looks like they've repaired the dance floor. I'm not sure why but when I go just for the band and sit at a table on the dance floor. I don't get waited on. I sat for 45 minutes without anyone coming up to take my order. I thought if I got my money out, that would tip them off that I wanted to order but it didn't help. I actually touched the waitresses arm as she walked by, she then came back. My guess is, they see a single girl (who doesn't drink) and that translates into not a very large tab. I always tip double to triple because I understand this. As far as the entertainment, I do miss the old bands. We use to line dance (and maybe they still do) but the last few times I went, it was way too loud and it was all Rock. I like Rock but I also like a mix of country. Only deal is, due to it being so loud, you can't talk with anyone until the band takes a break. This past weekend my friend came up from Baltimore and met me at Stables. She kept trying to talk to me but there was no way I could hear her nor her me. After dancing to a few songs, she asked if we could leave and go to the Ott House. I said ok BUT I would much rather stay at Stables. My friend asked for her cover charge back due to the music being too loud. Stables was very nice and gave her cover back. We wound up at the Ott House, which was not near as loud. I would love to ask if maybe Stables could turn the volume down a bit or a good bit as I would much rather go to Stables to dance and close the place down!!!! My over all review for Stables is a B+. That mark will jump to an A+ if the few issues I mentioned could be addressed. I do like Stables and I thank the owners for the positive attention they are giving to the place! Peace, Sharon
I have been in a lot of different places and to be honest this is one of the most friendliest places I have ever been in. They make you feel like one of the family. The food is excellent and the service is as well. Now lets be honest here no place is perfect so when I say it's excellent that is according to my taste. I would recommend this to everyone. Now if you nay sayers who want to give a bad review before doing so ask yourself these questions first: 1) Did you eat everything? 2) Did you bring your issues to the attention of your server? 3) Did you give the place a chance to make you happy? If you didn't do these things then don't complain. A business can not improve if they are not informed. Of course we know there are some customers who you just can not please to begin with. To those of you who have never been there, give the place a fair chance and trust me when I say "You will be back"
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and service during my first visit to the stables. The hourderve platter was HUGE and worth the price. If you go here, ask if Bonnie is bartending, she makes the best fresh squeezed orange crush!
I wouldnt feed my dog a crabcake from stables,
