Cardinal Drive In

Best burgers and amazing peanut butter milkshake. A fun throwback to the 1950s with 1950s prices. We’ve traveled through over 45 states and our family looks for local eateries and spots to meet friendly local people. This place hit the spot in every way. Remember, cash only here. Enjoy!

Fun classic place. You eat in your car. No drive thru you get an actual waitress or waiter. There's a tray you leave the trash on so it doesn't clutter up your vehicle. If you have a classic car it's the perfect place to grab a burger n shake. They do have more menu choices than I expected

Hello nostalgia, this is an adorable gem of a bygone era. This is a simple American fare, yes it is most likely frozen to start but it was freshly made to order and came fast. The service was spectacular, it was slightly crowded but it is noon on a Monday. Would recommend for a tasty stop and contribute to a nice local eatery.

Cash or check ONLY - always worth the stop! The sign says "since 1987" and I'm almost certain everything at this adorable drive-in is still original--and I mean that in the best way! We've eaten here twice, when in Winfield for sporting events, and it is the highlight of our trip. Every single thing on the menu is delicious and you can it's made fresh to order with quality ingredients. I never thought I'd feel so passionate about a "fast food" joint, but trust me when I say it's worth a stop. We've tried the burgers, corn dogs, fries and onion rings. My picky 8 yo rated the onion rings 10/10 and I have to agree. The star on the menu for me has got to be the strawberry shortcake! Service is fast and friendly. The Cardinal Drive Inn has got a good thing going and I hope the continue for many years to come.

Old time feel with FANTASTIC food. The hot fudge cake had the best vanilla ice cream I have EVER tasted!

Best drive-in burgers around. All their food is good, catfish, grilled chicken, steak sandwich etc. All great. Large variety of drinks and shakes and slushy. Service is fast and friendly too. Ask for ketchup, salty and pepper etc. When you order and it'll save you time cause they won't have to go back for it. Great Old school drive-in!

Very polite people and very fast at service food was good as well

Great chicken finger dinner and chilli cheese dogs.....fries are good

Absolutely love my vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream definitely was a hot hot day needed this in my life and they did not see to let me down they made sure it was right for an adult size love it love you guys!!!

We love cardinals always great food

Cardinal drive in has always been a local favorite amongst the residents of Winfield AL.

This is the best food. Beats Sonic hands down! My advice to anyone trying to figure out which they should choose. Cardinal.. they have the friendliest lady who works in the morning hours, and if i had it id tip her $50 each visit. Just her friendliness and smile makes you want to come back. (Yes the food too!)

We were traveling through and decided to eat local. This was a great surprise! It's a charming little drve-in with good burgers and onion rings. My husband got a strawberry milkshake that was really tasty. As a bonus, the people who worked there couldn't have been any nicer. I would definitely recommend Cardinal Drive In.

I have loved this place for 40 years. They have the best food around to me.

How fast food places should be.

Had a great experience at cardinal drive in!

I love the food here. Junior cheeseburger with everything but the kitchen sink on it are amazing. Add a Jumbo Sweet Tea, you have a meal less than $4. Just can't beat that any where. For dessert, check out the strawberry sundaes. What some fine eating. Carter, you are doing a great job.

I loved the onion rings and mozerella sticks! Very happy with the bacon cheese burger. The downside is if you have a large order it's pretty expensive. We had 3 people and it cost 31.00, but we did have 2 orders of cheese sticks outside of normal meal size.

Best place in Winfield for cheeseburgers. We love their burgers, fries, cup of cheese, and sweet tea! And always friendly customer service. Be sure to tip your car hop! They have 3 table outside if you don't want your order to-go or to eat in your car.

I have yet to have a negative experience here and I've been eating here all my life! Only once or twice have they brought me the wrong food, but I'm not complaining. I'll eat whatever they bring out. Everything on the menu is delicious. I highly recommend trying the cherry mountain dew. My favorite thing here are the nachos and cheese!
