    Sat at the bar. Ordered your Friday special fish sandwich with fries included and it was absolutely the best I’ve had anywhere in a long time . I just have one small piece of constructive criticism. I guess I may be a little picky but the first thing I think about when I walk into a bar/restaurant is the atmosphere. Well the lights were cranked up way too bright so I asked the waitress if it was closing time kind of as a joke. She was very responsive and laughed along with me and then turned the lights down which made me and several other bar patrons sigh with relief. I still remember the old bar you used to have in there and even though old and slightly dilapidated had a warm atmosphere, which I prefer. Keep up the good work with your good food and great service.

    Decided to give Cardo’s a try after seeing a local sports team advertising their support. And my son talking about how great their pizza is. Made the drive over and wish I would have a long time ago. Atmosphere was good, service was amazing, and food/drink were great! Our family can’t wait to go back.

    Restaurant smells great when you walk in.Service was great. I had lasagna which was really good as the only other kind I like is my own. Everyone in my party liked their food except for my daughter who thought mac n cheese was too stringy,she prefers hers more saucy. Hubs had pizza which had good flavor with really good crust. Generous salads.I would return if in the area again

    It was a great family feel even though it's a tavern, staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. Great place to enjoy football! And the pizza is delicious! We will be returning!
