I forgot to say we also had the Vanilla Ice Cream for Desert & OMG It was the BEST Vanilla I have had, Bar None ! We went there for Deanna's B-Day & Had a Most Excellent Time !

French fries . Cardwells at the plaza. #cardwells #24hourfoodgeek These fries are great, but if you pair them with the creamy Parmesan dressing they are Amazing! #sundaylunch

Long-time favorites like flash-fried calamari with chili-lime mayo and the many pizzas from the wood-burning oven will remain until the end of time. Read more

Cuban sandwich . Cardwell’s at the plaza #cardwells #24hourfoodgeek #special #sundaylunch I might be biased, but I think Cardwells does a great job.

Went to Cardwell's for the First time on 9-10-15 & I Really Enjoyed it ! Try the Rueben Sandwich w/ Veggie Slaw . The BEST Rueben I have had !!!

Try the Grilled Flat Iron Steak - Red wine butter & natural jus reggiano, arugula & truffled shoestring potatoes , grilled asparagus .

Go here often, food is good, just tired of feeling I am inconveniencing the wait staff . At the prices Cardwell charges, I shouldn't feel like I'm interrupting

Enjoyed a delicious hot Brie and brioche with a Pinot Grigio . Definitely happening and very busy there on a Friday night, even with tornado warnings and sirens screaming through the night air.

Anything you get is amazing quite honestly the best place to eat in st.louis

Wonderful food, always. Bill Cardwell is an amazing chef . Perfect place to lunch .

Dessert is overlooked far too often. Splurge and try their homemade ice creams !

I called ahead for a 12:30 lunch reservation and could only get 12:45. But when I arrive at 12:45, there are 7 empty tables. So hmmmmm.

Try the Grilled Buttonwood Farms Half Chicken - Natural jus, garlic mashed potatoes , and broccoli .

The mac n cheese is the best I've ever had. And I've had a lot of mac n cheese ..

The food is just fine but the staff are crazy so are most of folks we saw during the time between lunch and dinner . They don't want you there then. Yuk!

Some of the best calamari ! Great sauce with it too. Get it.

Order the 'Parisian' French Onion Soup...sweet and savory!

Nicole was our server. She was extremely courteous knowledgeable and prompt. I'd recommend cardwells lunch to anyone.

Love the "Meister Burger " and the Onion Rings !

Chicken Drummies are excellent, and I love those seeded breadsticks !

Griffin was very attentive and a very pleasant server. I'd recommend him and this establishment to anyone.

The petite filet is nothing short of perfect.

Best southern fried chicken drummies .

The veal medalions are excellent. Also, the "golden platter of sweets to share" is not made of gold, unfortunately.

French dip was delish!!

Love the Frei brothers wine .

Venison tenderloin is great, though the petite filet might be better.

Don't go there between lunch time and dinner time. The most unprofessional service and atmosphere I have ever seen. Yuk!

The shrimp is fantastic!

Try the Lemon Grass Beef salad !

Try Billy's burger !
