Editorial Review for Cardinal Coffee Shop & Lounge – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Any time of day, the red-flecked vinyl booths overflow with hungry patrons, dining on anything from prime rib to moussaka to Belgian waffles and Philly cheese steaks. The adjacent lounge offers a full array of cocktails and nightly entertainment--including karaoke and live music. The extensive menu, super-quick waitstaff and retro-diner atmosphere make it popular with the late-night, post-party set.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I love Karaoke and just started going to the Cardinal on Wednesday nights for the great Karaoke on that night. I usually go in early and have something to eat at the restaurant. The food is great and the portions in most cases more than I can handle. The service is great and in the bar it is the same. The bar is great as most everyone is having a good time and no outrageous noise or troublemakers as I have seen in some bars around town. Great place and reccomend all the facilities that are available there.

Pros: Parking is very good and The service is great and of the course the food is great

Cons: Only once in a while in the bar some really loud people but no one gets out of hand.

I'm sure you can find better fare, better service, better value during day-worker's hours, but I don't think you can find anything better after then. Loved the lights; I recommend you be in perky mood, ready for a diner meets Vegas atmosphere. My french toast was yummy. It was not too soggy, and had a good eggy flavor. The apple pie was average. Service was slow.

Pros: French Toast
