We are here for a overnight and looked on line for good places to eat.The Cardinal came up first.Love the vibs and the flag message over the bar. We were in the parking lot to head out and ran into a sweet guy that was owner good smile and friendly 😊 The burger was out standing and our server was on point.Will now be my favorite every time we come to Boone it is the start of a beautiful New Year. Happy 2026
I am still here at the Cardinal, enjoying this delightful charcuterie board (see attached photo) YUMMY!!!!
I also tried their hot damn ham dip before.... not healthy in the slightest, but soooo worth it.
Kale Caesar salad with some fried chicken is AMAZING.
Bloody Mary... beautifully crafted!!!!
The prices are a little high, but omg the flavor is soooo worth it.... especially in a town that restaurants...

The Cardinal is such a solid spot in Boone. The food was really good and filling, and everything came out hot and fresh. The vibe is relaxed and casual, perfect for a laid-back meal. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service was quick even when it was busy. If you want good food without anything fancy, The Cardinal is definitely a go-to. Would come back for sure. 🍔
