The Cardinal is a popular restaurant in the high country, known for its fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and interesting cocktails. The service is consistently excellent, with attentive servers providing great recommendations. The menu features the Tempeh dish, the Emu+Chorizo burger, the Fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese, and the Beet burger, though the latter may be a bit greasy. The burgers and chicken sandwich are praised for their delicious flavors, though the grilled chicken can sometimes be a little dry. Customers enjoy the ambience, which includes unique decor, and appreciate the restaurant’s commitment to customer satisfaction, as shown by gestures like providing a voucher for dry chicken. Visitors also enjoy the house-made chips with ranch, the top-shelf bottled root beer, and the fries. The restaurant is kid-friendly, offering several options on the kids menu and different sides. Overall, The Cardinal remains a beloved spot for a good meal with a welcoming atmosphere.
