🚨 TONIGHT’S BONUS SPECIAL 🚨

FRIED. GREEN. TOMATOES.

These locally sourced beauties are fried up golden and crispy, served with our homemade ranch OR our homemade spicy ranch for the folks who believe dinner should fight back a little. 🌶️

Perfect as an appetizer… or a full meal if you’ve reached the “I just want crunchy things and peace” stage of the week.
$8 tonight only!

Y'all come see us tonight! We have rearranged the dining room and will be staffed to open the back room! We cant wait to see you all!

🐟 Y’all asked and we’re making it happen.
This Friday from 5PM-8PM, we’re serving up a true Southern classic: FRIED CATFISH. Because apparently humanity looked at a perfectly good fish and decided, “You know what this needs? Cornmeal and hot grease.” And honestly... y’all were right.

🍽️ Family Fish Platter
Dine-in only
Includes:
• 16 fried catfish fillets
• Hushpuppies
• Pinto beans
• Coleslaw
• French fries
• Tartar sauce
• Green tomato relish upon request
💵 $48+ tax

Bring the family, bring your appetite, and maybe wear stretchy pants. Nobody leaves a catfish night proud of their self-control.

If you want this to-go please message us BEFORE friday.

Tonight’s forecast: 100% chance of needing extra napkins. 🍔🍟

We’re serving up juicy burgers, crispy fries, and the kind of melted cheese that makes cardiologists sigh heavily into the distance. Human civilization peaked somewhere between “double cheeseburger” and “fresh cut fries,” honestly.

Come see us tonight, bring your appetite, and let us handle dinner while you pretend you were “too busy to cook.” We support the lie. 😌

Join us to help Gene Wells and their family. Sunday June 7th we will be having our double stuffed potato fundraiser.

Included will be a drink and a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie.

We will have cards to fill out with the kind of potato you want, cookie you want, and we will use these cards to draw our $50 giftcard winner (or winners? 👀)

If you need BULK orders of these PLEASE reach out to us ahead of time and we will get it done.

"Can you make me a chicken bacon ranch stuffed potato but also loaded and add jalapeños?"

Yes, Jason Roach Jr., and everyone else, we can. 😇

05/22/2026

These are flying out of our kitchen!

And yes, you can order these as to-go. I've had a few calls asking about it.

05/22/2026

We are all all good to go on this! Come see us!

🚨 Y’all ready for Friday?! 👀🍽️
This week’s special is bringing full-on comfort food energy because apparently we’ve all collectively agreed carbs and cheese are cheaper than therapy.
🔥 Smothered Chicken Breast
🧀 Covered in melty white cheese with grilled mushrooms & onions
🥔 Loaded Baked Potato
🍞 Toast
🫛 AND because y’all kept asking... Southern-style green beans are officially making their debut.
💲15 per plate
Now for the important community update:
🌽 The corn has officially been removed from the cob.
After careful scientific evaluation and several passionate opinions from the public, we will now be serving kernel corn going forward. Democracy is alive and well at the Cardinal Cafe.
Come hungry. Leave happy. Possibly needing a nap. That’s the Southern dining experience.

We are OPEN and good to go today! Thank you all for your patience the problem has been resolved!

A LITTLE PSA:

☀️ good morning roasters ☀️

For the next week I will be out of the shop and leaving it in the hands of three awesome baristas Hannah, Caleb, and Kendle!

With that being said if they take a little bit more time in the mornings please give them grace, they have not been doing it as long as I have been.

PLEASE DO NOT FOR ANY REASON go behind the counter at the coffee shop especially while I am away. This is for your safety and the safety of my shop and employees. Not to help make a drink, not to just grab something, my employees are trained to make our drinks according to my recipes so if drinks are being made incorrectly this will result in it falling back on them which is unfair. And anyone coming behind the counter puts them in an awkward position to have to tell you no, so please just don’t do it!! If there are any problems that arise please do not hesitate to message me directly I will always get it taken care of to the best of my ability. 🤍

With all that being said I truly appreciate all of the love and support this community has rallied together to show for us, and I hope you go visit those 3 while I am away! They’re a good time if you just want to hang and enjoy your coffee in the shop with them 🫶🏼

Edit to add: while I’m away the shop will be closing at 5pm each day and

🇺🇸 CLOSED ON MEMORIAL DAY 🇺🇸
