We just happen to see the Cardinal on our way back to Brevard from a day chasing waterfalls. it was a wild card, but what an awesome surprise. My grandson had chicken strips and they were huge, crispy, and delicious. my wife had a grilled chicken salad, just the right size for a late lunch. And I had the Double Chili Dog Combo. Everything was delicious, the food came in fast... And the price was amazing! My wife said we should eat here every day for lunch!! Take a shot and check out this little retro drive-through, you won't be disappointed.

CASH ONLY Great little spot to go and have a date night. They do have a little bit of a wait (30-45min) and service was okay but makes up for it with great food and delicious ice cream. My wife ordered a orange creamsicle and said it was the best she's ever had. Would recommend!

So great to have a professional dry cleaners nearby. You can also drop off or pick up in Cashiers. They do a great job. Thank you!

Great hot dogs. Better onion rings!! Service is fast and friendly, prices are fair. Downside - they only take cash, but you won't need a lot to have a nice lunch - enjoy!!
