    Breakfast special- eggs over easy, home fries, sausage and biscuits w/ white gravy.
    Brian V.

    This place came recommended from a friend who frequents this place because it is near his office. It also had 4 stars with ample number of reviews and was listed as one $ which is rare in Matthews. I sat at a booth on the side with the fireplace and my barber just happened to be at the table in front of me. He recommended the special so I followed suit. It came with 2 eggs, choice of meat, choose of hash browns, home fries or grits and toast or biscuits and I added white gravy. This was indeed a solid hearty breakfast for a great price. There is nothing fancy about this place but after my first experience and now having 2 friend vouch for it, I think it's safe to say that they provide a good service and consistent food in an inviting homey atmosphere. The coffee was good and they kept my cup full the entire time I was seated. Enough said. Give it a try.

    Americana restaurant, I got no problem with it.This family style restaurant is clean,nice and well ran. Had the iron skillet breakfast. I got no problem with it. My wife had two eggs bacon and home fries with toast. She got no problem with it. I had a side of biscuits and gravy. I got no problem with it.I had a glass of sweet tea, I got no problem with it.I also had a side of grits with cheese. I got a problem with that, that's why you lost one star. The grits tasted like Quaker Oats and they put a slice of cheese in it and didn't mix it up. Americana restaurant overall I got no problem with it. Lol May God Bless all my fellow foodies Always.

    Yuck! This was about the worst breakfast I've had in a long time. First off about 1/4 of the staff is wearing a mask and that small percentage isn't wearing them properly. Second the service is subpar. Our server didn't make sure the lid was on top of my nieces cup and she spilled it 2 twice. She wasn't attentive, didn't wear a mask and didn't account for the mistake she made on our order. Third was the food. No one in my family enjoyed their food. No one completed a dish. We ordered 2 Western omelettes (1 with grits and toast the other with hashbrowns and toast), 2 Country Fried Steaks (both with grits, eggs and toast). The toast was cold at arrival to the table. I wouldn't say I will be coming back here anytime soon. Americana Restaurant 1628 Matthews Mint Hill Rd, Matthews, NC 28105 Saturday May 15, 2021 9am (Review 493 overall, 37 in 2021)

    More on this pork chop later! Delicious.

    This little diner is a gem for sure, and not a well-hidden one either. Not for night owls, come early for the specials and come often for they change every day. You'll be spoiled for choice with the many vegetable sides offered and spoiled for sweets as well with several lovely handmade desserts in the cooler. In the City full of great diners, this one is darn near the top! A favorite for locals, and a treat for those visiting from out of town. Come in and enjoy the excellent pork chops and Superior service.

    I am in the area frequently to visit family and this place is very close to where I stay. The location isn't anything out of an architecture magazine-but the food and service are fantastic. I opted for over medium eggs during both visits and they were perfect. My coffee mug was never empty. The wait staff is polite and attentive. I will keep returning.

    Good ol'home cooking and provided great service. This is a local diner facility - no glitz or glam. Plenty of parking.

    Fried chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes with fried squash. Delicious and well seasoned, but unfortunately the chicken was a little dry.

They serve lunch and dinner, too--and that dinner menu was talking to me! When I try a restaurant for the first time, I usually start with something simple. It is a little like dating the restaurant: before I commit to the whole menu, let me see how you handle the basics. If you can make simple food well, then I begin to trust you. I relax. I get curious. Then, before you know it, I'm falling in love and planning our next date! Fresh Chef made a very good first impression. The eggs were fluffy and cooked to perfection. The sourdough toast was toasted just right, with a beautifully balanced flavor that didn't overpower the rest of the plate. But those breakfast potatoes? Baby, they were the star! Crispy and golden on the outside, tender enough to melt in your mouth on the inside. I added onions and bell peppers, and next time I'll ask for extra because they belonged together. Let those onions and peppers come on out and join the party! The bacon was a good-quality cut--not thin, cheap, or pretending to be pork. As a genuine pork lover, I appreciate that. The coffee was good, too. My waiter was exceptional. I didn't catch the young man's name, but he made sure I had everything I needed while still giving me room to enjoy my breakfast. He was warm, attentive, and perfectly timed without hovering. That kind of service deserves to be recognized. Then I noticed the manager wearing a shirt from my favorite team. Well, that certainly didn't hurt the courtship! Roll Tide! Fresh Chef and I have had our first date, and I must say--it went very well. Now I need to return for dinner and see whether this little breakfast flirtation turns into a full-blown love affair. With a menu featuring steaks, seafood, pasta, ribs, shrimp and grits, and more, I am hopeful that this relationship has a future! Auntie D's rating: Five out of five forks!
