If the service was decent, I’ll tip in cash, which is not traceable by Uncle Sam, and put the rest on the credit card, which is traeable. That would sure help the server.

Wrong. Many years ago Uncle Sam figured that out, and counts that as a server you make a minimum of x amount of the restaurant's receipts. The days of cash tips under the table are long gone. The only way around that is being off the books entirely.

I am an Esthetician-If my clients pay with credit card or check it goes into the computer. If they pay a cash tip our boss does not know (she makes sure of that). Cash tips are never discussed at our job with our boss.
