Absolutely abysmal. Waited about 30 minutes to be sat. Which isn’t a big deal at all. Server was really nice. But, this issue we had was the kitchen “lost our ticket.” Or “Messed up our food” was told both things by 2 separate people. Waited almost 2 hours for our food and still never got our food. Was told at 7:40pm the food order was messed up. I waited until 8:10pm and no food we just left. Told this story to the second restaurant we went to and they said this happens...read full review
I was looking for a great cheeseburger 🍔 and Cardinal Food & Spirits didn't disappoint. Fresh & Delicious. I asked if they could make my burger with pickles and special sauce and they were accommodating. I highly recommend them if you're ever in Boone, NC.
This is THE place to stop every time you’re in Boone. Husband and I had the bison burger, waygu burger, fries & fried okra. Literally everything we ate was the best food I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The bison burger had avocado, salsa verde, and red onions. It was such a beautiful balance. And the atmosphere was a 10/10. Can’t wait to go back.
