At Cardinal Drive In, every meal is made fresh — cooked to order, the way it should be. We use 100% pure beef, hand-batter our onion rings, and spin our shakes with real fruit and candy.

Since opening our doors on City Avenue in Ripley, we've been proud to serve the Tippah County community with classic American drive-in food at honest prices. Whether you're craving a juicy Cardinal Choice burger, a crispy catfish dinner, or a thick Oreo shake, we've got you covered.
