Amazing!!! Definitely give it a try. Very busy and had to wait awhile but totally worth it!! Probably within the top ten best bacon burger and the fries are perfectly crunchy. For dessert we had milkshakes; they are amazing as well. Definitely recommend you give Cardins a try.

Found this place from searching for burgers on Google Maps. What a great roadside stop. Burgers, onion rings for me, fries for the guys and milkshakes were great. Kids polished it off with ice cream. Friendly and fast service, perfect spot for a bite after a long day traveling. Good size menu as well. I would recommend to anyone.

Great food and the best quart cherry cokes. Prices are a little high but willing to pay them for the quality and the experience. Food is cooked fresh and served hot. Ordered bacon cheeseburger and fries. They were fixed accurately and very delicious. The service is quick and very friendly.
