    We made the reservation for 545pm arrived at 550pm due to heavy rain on this Father's day. We were soaken wet getting inside. Once at the counter one gentleman said we are closing now. I showed my reservation that was confirmed and he brought the manager out. She sais sorry we thought you weren't coming and now we are closing. I was disappointed and mentioned that why would you have an appointment slot 15min before closing especially for 6 people. She apologized and went to the kitchen. Came back to say well we can serve you but we were closing. My husband and son decided we would go somewhere else where we are not pushed for time. So we left.

    My blackened Caesar salad was not good. Chicken was cold and rubbery. Drinks took a long time to come out, and I had to send my gin and tonic back. Not sure how they messed that up.

    Our waitress was friendly and fantastic! The food selection for the Mothers Day brunch was wonderful! So many choices and the shrimp were amazing. Our table was in a high traffic area, so that was a bit annoying but manageable. The free entry into the Cardinals Hall of Fame museum was a bonus! The museum is very well done!

    We and an awesome time. The food and everything was excellent from beginning to end. I have gone there for several things. I've had my son 16th birthday party there. We did Mother's Day last year and that's just a wonderful place. I love it. Everything is great! I recommend it for anyone to go, especially tourists

    The Mothers Day Brunch was fantastic! The atmosphere was really nice and fun…and the food and drinks were super good. They had all you can eat shrimp, an omelette station, a carving station with ham & beef tenderloin (really good flavor but they only made it med wellish)…the waffle bar stole the show for us! Very unique flavor with these delicious sugary crunchy pieces in them! Well Worth the money! If you live @ OCW you get 25% off!

    We have been to Cardinals Nation for brunch on many occasions. This time we attended their brunch for Mother’s Day. We were VERY disappointed. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as the prior visits. The bottomless Bloody Mary Bar only had olives and celery to choose from!!! Overall for the price of $50 per person, we felt very ripped off. We will not be going back!!

    Delicious food, good/attentive service, bottomless mimosas/bloody Mary! Now, honestly, how can an Easter brunch open until 2p not be able to accommodate later reservations with the meat carving station? No meat carving station at 1:15 on the 2nd floor. The rest of the food was soooo good too! Lastly, the restaurant was out of decaf coffee at 2p. I get carving station out of meat but how can a restaurant be out of decaf coffee? Our waitress was awesome- we over tipped her!

    What a disappointment! We were seated within a reasonable time of our 1pm reservation for Easter brunch. Then the disappointment… the carving station was closed (they ran out of meat), the “hot” food was ample and it looked delicious, but it was cold (I mean room temperature). When informed of the problem, the server simply shrugged and walked away. Then came the bill. My family will never visit this place again. They need to seriously step up their game, or they too will die a slow death.

    It was an Easter Brunch Buffet. It took awhile to get seated and then to get our drink order. The Carving Station ended early and some people were still eating and wanted more. The waitress was very nice but not good at getting to us for drink refills. The noise level was pretty high but I can’t fault the staff for that.

    Nothing about the food was spectacular. Everything was mediocre at best. Ham was the only thing I would say was very good. The pastries were dry and looked straight out of Sam’s. No high end desserts either- just mediocre. I have been to many nice brunches, and this didn’t compare. Positive: Nice flowers and ice sculpture. I asked if ice tea or coffee was included for the $50 and my waitress said no. The table behind us sat down and their waiter explained that ice tea and coffee were included. So I asked my waitress again. She was very rude and told me it wasn’t. While at the buffet, I saw a manager, and asked him. He said of course it was included. This was all just aggravating. I would not recommend and will not be back.

    Cardinals NationResponded on April 18, 2023

    We set a high standard for ourselves, and we’re so sorry to hear this was not met in your interaction with our restaurant. We will do better at communicating with our staff what is included with our brunch.

    We had high hopes for our brunch, however we were disappointed. The line for the omelettes we so long that it took me 3 tried to get one. Plus when we finally got the omelette, there were no clean plates so we had to wait. They ran out of many of the entries so again we had to go back to our seats and wait. Maybe we expected too much, but after all...it was Cardinal Nation. We hope to try again. Thanks, Debbie Ellison 314-277-9193

    We had a party of 6 plus a toddler in a high chair and were seated in a booth set for 4 people. We had to ask 3 times for water. We ordered bottomless mimosas but after the first one arrived, the server never returned to see if we wanted a refill. When we ask to just charge us for a regular mimosas he seemed very perplexed. Had to ask twice for our check. They were running out of food and not replenishing. For $50 pp for a buffet I’d expect more.

    It was a nice experience for brunch, but not worth the money. For example, 75 minutes into it, they were out of coffee. We were half way through eating before we got a small cup of coffee brought to us in a paper cup. Then had to wait for cream and sugar. Then, sugar, again because there was none in the container.

    Easter brunch. Had a reservation at 11. Did not get seated til 11:25. Food was cold and crusty. Then went to the omlet station. Super pleasant omlet guy. Good hot omlet. Only four add in options but that was better than the rest of the food that sat out. Good carrot cake. Expensive for the experience

    We got there and waited for Easter Brunch. Unfortunately, the back parking lot entrance was locked, so about 15 min go by and someone said they are letting people in at the front entrance. So about 20 of us walked all the way from the back parking lot to the front, where there was a single file line to get in the only door letting people in. Then, 1 person was taking reservations. They told us to “ go upstairs” where we went up and a person seated us. I then had to go find a server for silverware. Then we got the food and started eating. I then had to go find someone for a drink order. The food was good but the service was really surprisingly bad for the Cardinals organization. Ugh.

    Went to Easter Brunch (10 am), and was underwhelmed. Quality of food was good, though uninspired. The problem was that all of the hot food on the buffet was cold. Compounding the cold food was a lack of coffee on the 2nd floor. I have certain expectations with Cardinal products, Easter Bruch didn’t fulfill those expectations.
