    Nice local drive in! Good burgers. Lots of other options as well. Quick service. Glad we stopped in!

    My husband loved his fried chicken sandwich. It was a large chicken patty lightly breaded. The onion rings were really good but I wouldn't order the fries again. The BLT was pretty good, actually had real bacon, like something close to what you'd cook at home, not like typical crappy fast food bacon. Wouldn't suggest the steak sandwich though!

    We stopped at Cardinal Drive-In for a hot fudge and butterscotch sauce sundae with nuts. Cardinal's sundaes had plenty of sauce and were a reasonable price. The waitress was friendly and brought our food to the drivers side window of our car. A big YUM for this business!

    Fries were hot but the seasoning was so so much salt too salty. Burger was drowned in mustard and bun was stale

    Love their cheeseburgers! You get a BIG burger for the price. They've got a lot of good food actually. The girl hops are great too.

    Great service and good food. For a small lunch, light bite or deserts. Reasonably priced.

    Really good food. Still has old school drive in vibes, with a touch of modern day. Loads better than Sonic.

    Quick quality customer service. Had the cheese burger cooked right. Like the fact that they chop the onions, lettuce, tomato on the burger.

    I have never been to a fast food place that would not give you a refill on your drinks. We won't be back.

    We are in Red Bay At the Tiffin maintenance place to have some work done on RV. Not a lot of…read morechoices for restaurants here. We had gone to this restaurant before while here and had good food so we tried it again. Restaurant is in Belmont MS but not far from Red Bay. Hubby had the pork platter and added brisket. Both were good but he said the pork was better. I had the smoked turkey platter and it was also good. Our server was pleasant but definitely pulled in many directions. We will definitely return when back in the area.

    Everything a BBQ place should be!…read more What a lucky find. We were on a road trip from New Jersey of all places and rode the Natchez Trace Parkway down. I was hopeful for a good southern BBQ experience and this was everything and more. Our waitress, Ashley, was so kind and friendly and made sure to explain the nuances on the menu, including their different sauces. The Cardinal sauce (for the Belmont H.S. Cardinals) is one of their house specialties - the perfect combination of spice and sweetness! They also have a very good white sauce, which has a vinegar flavor. I've never had anything close anywhere else! We ordered 12 wings, and I got the smoked chicken, which tasted spectacular. The homemade baked beans were also among the best I've had. And this was real fried okra!! Also a hit at our table was my brother's brisket and my mom absolutely loved the reuben sandwich! You also cannot beat affordable prices. Finally Ashley and Israel made our dog, Judy, feel so welcome! I would drive hundreds of miles out of my way to go here again! A total gem of a spot.
