The appeal of the Biltmore Grill in the summertime is undeniable: a big, breezy, vine-covered outdoor patio, affordable beer, and the charm of Elliewood Avenue with a minimum of young Wahoos to spoil it.

(We made up for the caloric content with a couple of cheap drafts—it is still a college bar, after all.) We recommend skipping the spuds and ordering “Bilt’s” sweet potato fries: thin, stringy, sweet-and-salty delights that reminded us that despite the Vineyard-esque surroundings, we’re still in the South.
