    Bog tables for groups with water station and game area.
    Caroline J.

    Cannot say anything about the food, but the one beer my husband tried he liked. Large venue with tons of seating inside and lots of seating outside. Large bar inside and also quite a few TVs to catch a game. Also very large tables to accommodate groups. Service was good and friendly. Love that they also have a lot of games you can play!

    We hosted our wedding welcome event at Kardinal Hall and could not have been happier with the experience. We worked closely with Chrissy, who helped us plan everything in advance. She was responsive, thoughtful, and really listened to what we wanted. She helped us with layout, timing, food selections, how to use the patio space, and even made sure the mic setup for speeches went smoothly. It honestly felt like she was thinking two steps ahead for us the entire time. Lily was both our bartender and also someone we coordinated with in advance, and she was amazing. Such great energy, friendly with all of our guests, and incredibly efficient at the bar. Multiple people commented on how great she was. The food and drinks were fantastic. We did a variety of appetizers and mains, and our guests raved about everything. The staff made sure trays were consistently replenished and there was more than enough food, which we really appreciated. They also handled dietary preferences that we shared ahead of time and clearly labeled everything, so guests with restrictions felt comfortable and included. We had a partial outdoor patio buyout, and the space was perfect for our group of around 70. Kardinal Hall also allowed us to bring in our own personal touches, which helped the event feel really special and personal to us. Overall, the staff, the food, the service, and the atmosphere all came together to make the night exactly what we hoped it would be. Hosting our welcome event at Kardinal Hall was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding weekend. Highly recommend.

    Jaegerschnitzel
    Cynthia I.

    The jaegerschnitzel is very delicious. This dish is enough for two to share. I love the buttery green pasta. I paired this with a Hefeweizen. I love the outdoor eating space. A great place for large groups to gather

    Salmonette salad

    Enjoyed the beer and burgers but do yourself a favor and don't get the salmon salad. This is the normal "portion" according to them.

    We initially were interested in coming to Kardinal Hall because, as an Untapped venue, we could see that they have an excellent draft beer list. But, even with this great list, I have become a bigger fan of the food! We have been here three times in the last couple of months. This is more than any other restaurant in the C'Ville area! On our first vistit, Schweety and I shared the Sausage platter. On the second, we shared the Pretzel plate from the brunch menu. They both have so many "little extras" that make the plates special, mustard, pickled items, sauces.... YUMMM On my third visit, I met a friend for lunch and we had salads on the patio. Again, its all the little touches that finish the plate make the dishes exceptional. I love, love, love eating here!!!! Though you order at the bar, all the staff I have interacted with have been outstanding. Thanks for all you do!

    We enjoyed hanging out at Kardinal Hall during our visit to Charlottesville! It was very crowded, but the staff had a good system with drink orders in the front and food orders in the back. We got a few West Coast IPAs (very good) and a jumbo pretzel with beer cheese (the pretzel was good - nicely salted, a tad greasy for my taste, and the beer cheese was okay - not a ton of flavor). We sat outside for a bit and enjoyed playing some of their card games/watching people play bocce, then we moved inside to the bar to watch some basketball (was glad they had plenty of TVs for March Madness!). The bartender was particularly friendly and welcoming. Good spot overall - would come back!

    Bratwurst
    Christine L.

    Vibes: 20/10, when we came on Sunday evening, there was also live music! It was so lovely. They have plenty of board games for you to play with your group. Plenty of parkings, there are even EV chargers! We brought our dog and sat out in the patio. Food: 9/10, brussels sprouts were incredible! We each got bratwurst, vegetarian bratwurst and the hot chicken sandwich which we all enjoyed very much. They even have local sauerkraut!! The creme brulee was insane, so so creamy!! Drink: we got 2 beers, a Pumpkin Porter and a Plumpricot Sour, both were very good!

    I wanted to come back and update this review I left years ago. I've now been a regular at Kardinal for quite a bit and gotten to know the great team, and the dedicated changes they're making to the place, and have loved seeing them! The food is honestly night and day - so much better now. I grabbed a grilled cheese and tomato soup winter special the other day and absolutely loved it, and I really appreciate seeing them innovate with the menu. The drink selection just keeps getting better as well. They now have some great NAs alongside their huge taps, and they have great cocktails to choose from. The brunch is quite good too, I particularly enjoy the French toast we tried. Overall, I love to see businesses in Cville work hard and get better, and it's been great seeing Kardinal grow. Great place to hang with friends, watch a game, or just hang out at the bar and chat with the awesome staff!

    Parkway Get Bent IPA

    Great beer! A huge space for large groups. Bartender Hank is on point. I'll definitely be swinging back next time I'm in cville!

    Jim L.

    Their food is delicious! I ordered schnitzel and pretzel they were both great! Outdoor seating is great for groups too!

    Jumbo Bavarian Pretzel
    Serena X.

    I love the atmosphere here, very fun for a large group, with both indoor and outdoor seating. There was a live band Thursday evening when I went as well! I got the Bavarian pretzel as an appetizer to share, and a Chicken Caesar salad. The mustard was strong but fresh, and cheese sauce was surprisingly mild. The chicken was quite dry, but salad was fine nonetheless. My friends got the burgers, and the fries were amazing. Would come here again for a group event and gathering, especially with the abundant beer selection.

Appetizers: standing ovation to the pork belly. Everyone at the table was blown away. The gnocchi bolognese and blue crab linguine were absolutely delicious also. Dinner: the pork ribeye blew me away with the flavor, char and tenderness. 10/10. The beef filet was really good and solid but if you are looking for something outside a traditional box, order something other than the beef tenderloin. Again, perfectly cooked but, in my opinion, it is included with to satisfy those who want and steak but it doesn't showcase the chef's passion....as a certified steak lover and defaulted even though I was leaning towards the pork or chicken....I got a great meal but nothing like the pork rib eye.

For dinner we had the mountain trout and honestly it was the best trout I've ever had, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The angus steak was also absolutely mouthwatering. By the time dessert came we were already full, but still couldn't resist the sticky toffee cake and the chocolate bread pudding, and I'm glad we didn't skip them because both were amazing. Everything was rich and satisfying without feeling overly heavy or leaving us bloated afterward, which I really appreciated. Our server was so sweet and attentive the entire night, and the interior of the restaurant is cozy, charming, and just really inviting. Definitely recommend and we'll absolutely be back every time we're in town.

Ordered a cucumber chamomile gin and tonic, which left something to be desired. We started with the blackberry salad which on the menu said it also included avocado but there was none on the salad-despite this the salad was great. Our mains were good but not great. The biggest issue I found here was despite our server being very nice while ordering she NEVER checked in on us after anything arrived, never refilled waters either. So although she was nice the service was not good as there were times we wanted to order something else and one of the entrees didn't arrive as it was ordered but our server never checked in. All things considered I think I would only come here to grab a salad or appetizer.
