The Cardinal

Our food was great and service was as well. I searched for a dog friendly restaurant and glad I stumbled upon this restaurant so we can sit on the patio with our dogs. Would definitely be back.

We loved the cardinal! Great back porch for shaded dining and pups allowed!

Cheddar jalapeño Hushpuppies- 6/10, not worth the hype not very cheddar or jalapeño flavor to us.

Double burger and fries 7/10- pretty tasty !

Picked Veggie Salad 9/10- obsessed with this! Lots of fun flavors with the pickled veggies, goat cheese, oranges, and beet chips ! They do not skimp on the greens! I had to take some out to be able to eat out of the bowl. So colorful and pretty too!

Great burgers - I don't remember our server's name, but she was very personable and attentive.

Never had a Carolina burger with pickles.??? The fried okra was VERY greasy. Was doing takeout so had a good conversation with the hostess while waiting for my food.

Atmosphere is nice. Service was good but the food was great! I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was so juicy! The only issue lol was having to use your napkin everytime. It's the best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. The chips at first I was worried about because they looked burnt, but they were cooked to perfection, salted perfectly and a nice crunch to it!

Burgers are outstanding! We went there on a cold evening and opted to sit outside with no wait. The heaters kept it very comfortable and we had a great evening.

Food was amazing. I got the beet burger and it was so good!! The sweet potato tots were perfect.
Service was great and the inside was cute.
I hope to come again when visiting the Boone area.

Fantastic gluten free BREADED Chicken sandwich. The fries are skinny and delicious. I can't get enough of the sweet potato tots. A real treat. Friendly service in a very comfortable setting. The staff went above and beyond. We were in town for 3 days and have been here 2 days in a row. (We'll see about tomorrow!)
The food was consistent both days. It's rare to find gluten free food in a location that also has great selections for everyone else.

Service is fast and friendly and the burgers are amazing. If you are ever around Boon, come over and try The Cardinal Burger All the Way trust me is good

I've lived in Boone for 2 years and this is my favorite place to eat. They recently remodeled inside and the interiors and outdoor bar area looks great. The burgers are the best in town in my opinion and the fries are solid as well. This most recent time I for the wagyu patty melt, and honestly I think some of the other burgers are better, but it was still very good. Make sure to ask for the chipotle ranch too
