Service is slow. Had the fish sandwich the McDonald's one is better hands down. Had an Oreo shake it was good.

The wait time was a little long so just be prepared! The lady that delivered the food was nice...the hot fudge cake sundae was good. The cheese tots were good but it was a very small portion not worth the money on cheese tots everything was nicely priced lower than Wendy's and other chains nice to support local business. read more

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

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

I love the chicken finger dinner it is so delicious And the honey mustard oh don't get me started on it read more

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.

In Red Bay getting our RV serviced. Idk why we hadn't stopped here before. It looks like Sonic only better. My husband and I had the Super Cheeseburger #2, onion rings and fries and it was DELISH!! read more

Cardinal has awesome food and service! Better than Sxxxc! Shrimp plates and mozzarella cheese sticks are great. The best is their hot fudge cake! read more

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

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! read more

First time here and wow what a great burger. I got the double cheeseburger and it was fantastic!! Thanks Cardinal for a great lunch

Local restaurant that is delicious. They have a verity of choices at a cheap price! I suggest giving them a try today!

It's a fast food drive-in. Okay, but nothing special. We stopped here because it was the only restaurant open. We would go back if we were hungry and had no other fast food options. read more

Food was very good and the service was excellent. Definitely a must when visiting Red Bay Al

Love this place they have amazing food great prices and wonderful servers to handle your order and deliver your food. We always have a huge order and they have always been super nice about it all and love the deals they have with mini burger night. This really helps out when you have a large family to feed on smaller budget. I have found them to be alot cheaper with plates and meals than out local food places that are similar in food items. read more

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! read more

When they are open and u better ck before going there I have enjoyed their food. Tater tots good , fried chicken sandwich good

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.

Don't get to come here often, always pleased when we do get to though. The food is always great and served quickly, though sometimes they can get special orders a bit confused. read more

Think Sonic. This is a drive in restaurant where they bring the food out to you (not on roller skates though). We went there for lunch and had cheeseburgers, tater tots, fries and a chocolate shake. The burgers were actually pretty good, and probably a place we would go back to. The tater tots had a buttery taste to them, and were good as well. The fries were just average, however, we have only been there one time. Their chocolate shake is clearly a vanilla shake with chocolate syrup, but, it was not bad - although nothing special and I probably would not order again. We were able to sit there in the car and eat, and enjoy the beautiful weather at the time. This would be a great place for kids to experience a drive-in, and is the only place like it in Red Bay. read more

Cardinal Drive-In - a cardinal drive - in sign - Restaurants Near Me - Red Bay, Alabama

Really tasty burgers and fries. Very quick service and professional personnel. Will go back!

I really enjoy this place for ice cream when I come to Alabama in the summer. It is fairly priced, a good amount of options and flavors, and quick service. I recommend it for when you're in Red Bay. read more

We are from out of town and just stopped in for lunch. The place is a nice drive in, colorful menu boards set up right by the car. Staff was very nice. Food was very good, mostly burgers and fries but had plenty of varieties to choose from. Also had hot dogs, chicken sandwiches and a good variety of sides too. A very nice experience all around. Will definitely go back. read more

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

Cardinal does have pretty good food. Now, with that being said the customer service might be the worst in red bay. It might have just been our waiter but she certainly went out of her way to tell us that we don't tip enough and proceeded to Deny service, curse, and ignore request. One tip if you go to cardinal, make sure you don't get the blonde waiter read more
