What People Are Saying About Cardinal Coffee Shop & Lounge

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. – –

UNWASHED HANDS
by 2fat2fish at Citysearch
The quality of the food has steadily declined from just a few years ago. The kicker happened in the men's bathroom when I witnessed a kitchen staff member use the urinal and go back to the kitchen without washing his hands. But, to make matters worse, I informed the hostess what I saw and she denied it happened in the best broken English she could muster.
- Pros: My memories of past late night meals
- Cons: Food, kitchen staff hygiene, hostess attitude

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.

Best diner open after midnight

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
