Cardinal Café

Came in for a bite to eat on a Monday. Greeted by a gal at the register. She was super kind and attentive- a ray of sunshine! There are only a couple of tables inside, but more tables outside. Bring a jacket, as it can get breezy. Food was good and service was fast. Cute place! We did not have any cell service in this canyon. Would've been nice if they had Starlink or something for guests.

As a Bishop resident I hate to give a local business a bad review, especially since their pizza night is so good, but the Cardinal Cafe lunch was just very disappointing. My wife and I ordered the Gold Digger fries to share (they were out of milkshakes which we were hoping to try). We were expecting a sizable portion based on the pictures on the website (see pics) and the $15 price tag, but we received a very small portion, similar in size to an order from In N Out which costs less than $2. They tasted good, but for $15 this was an unacceptably small amount of food. We will be back for more pizza nights and maybe breakfast but will skip lunch. I recommend Bishop Creek Lodge for more filling and fairly priced food just a few miles away on South Lake Road.

Just got back from pizza night. Awesome food and atmosphere. Second time for us this season. We will be back!

Very unfriendly staff member. My husband and I drove all the way up here from Tom's Place to take our daughter here for breakfast, we were so looking forward to it. Online and in the restaurant it says breakfast ends at 11:30, we got there before. When I asked about breakfast the woman taking orders at the counter very rudely told me three times that they switched over to lunch. No sorry, no explanation as to why, no trying to work with us. We went there specifically for breakfast so hear this was a little shocking. We turned around and had to make the journey back to bishop to find somewhere else. It takes a lot for me to leave a negative review after being in the service industry for many years, but this woman was very rude and if they want to close breakfast down early - that's fine but at least be a kind human. Two stars because it is a cute outdoor place but hopefully they can have a conversation with the woman in the front to be a friendly human if you want business.

I had the breakfast burrito and I can't stop thinking about it. I might have to drive 5 hours soon just to eat it again. The eggs were so fluffy and perfect. The bacon was incredible. The tortilla. So good. Definitely on my top 3 breakfast burritos I've ever eaten and I'm a breakfast burrito freak

Went to lunch here today. Sat outside as it was a beautiful day. Dog friendly so we took our boxer. We both had the cardinal burger with cheese. Cooked to perfection medium rare as ordered. Great I would say 1/2 lb. Burger with great flavor. We got everything on them and had a side order of fries. Much better than burger barn in Bishop. Plus a beautiful setting.

the "Google Map" took us to one of the tiny lakes AND NEVER found the cafe. Lost a full hour looking. AND...we still don't know where it is. We are not locals so there you have it. I heard it is really nice but may never know.

I'm so sad that I live pretty far from here but I will visit again literally just for there food!!!This BURGER is the best, tasting burger I've had in my entire life. Pricey but worth it hope to come soon for this deliciousness

Sat over a half hour gal said "be right with you " finally got up and left lots of people got their attention--not us sorta got the message had not been up there from Bishop for quite a long time guess we know why.

A MUST stop! My husband and I wanted something off the beaten path and boy did we find it!!Everything was amazing !!! Food, service and Ambiance.
