I originally went out looking for a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and Googled "good breakfast…read morenear me." This spot came up, and although my wife and I have driven past it many times, we've never stopped in. Today, I decided to finally give it a try. After looking through the Google photos, I changed my mind and ordered a breakfast plate instead of a sandwich. Parking was a little challenging. I arrived around 11:00 a.m. and had to circle the block a few times before finding a spot directly in front of the diner. When I walked in, I wasn't sure whether I should seat myself or wait to be seated. All of the waitresses appeared busy, so I stood near the entrance. Once she was available, Marianna greeted me. Initially, I wasn't a fan of being asked whether I was picking up food rather than whether I was dining in or taking out, but I quickly realized they may be accustomed to regular customers who already know the process. Since it was my first visit, I explained that I wasn't sure if I should seat myself. Personally, I think a sign near the entrance would be helpful for first-time guests. Since I was dining alone, I chose a seat at the counter and ordered the Sugar Plum Special with cheese grits and sourdough toast. While waiting for my food, I noticed something that concerned me. The staff did not appear to be wearing gloves, and I observed food being handled after touching various surfaces, including condiments, plates, glasses, and trash areas. While I understand that food service relies heavily on proper handwashing practices, I personally felt uncomfortable watching bread being handled directly by hand. I requested that my toast be handled with a utensil instead, and my request was accommodated without issue. When my food arrived, my eggs were cooked exactly as requested--scrambled hard--and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The bacon was a little saltier than I personally prefer, but that's more about my taste than the preparation. Overall, both items were flavorful. Now, let's talk about the grits. I come from a strong Southern background, and we take our grits seriously. The presentation was fantastic. The butter melting on top and the cheese looked absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, the texture wasn't there on the first serving. The grits were noticeably gritty and undercooked. After a couple of bites, I sent them back and requested they be cooked a bit longer. One of the waitresses explained that customers typically need to request the grits "well done." That was surprising to me because I've always believed grits should naturally be cooked until smooth and creamy. In my opinion, that's how they're meant to be served. Thankfully, the second batch was much better. While they still could have been stirred a bit more, the texture improved significantly and was much closer to what I expected. I also want to recognize Marianna for her excellent service. She was accommodating, attentive, and handled my concerns professionally throughout the meal. Overall, I would return. The restaurant has a warm, family-oriented atmosphere and an old-school diner feel that is becoming harder to find these days. It reminded me of the kind of place you'd visit after church on a Sunday morning or somewhere you'd go with your grandparents for a comforting home-cooked meal. While there were a few areas that could be improved, the welcoming environment and friendly service left a positive impression on me.

I was running late to work and ordashed a breakfast blt and orange juice. Unfortunately, once I got to work, I couldn't eat right away, so my sandwich sat for a couple of hours. The good news is that my sandwich tasted AMAZING. Everything was cooked perfectly, and it tasted so fresh. The orange juice was also delicious. Sometimes, orange juice tastes too acidic or like it's been sitting there for a while, but this one tasted freshly squeezed with fresh ripe oranges. I am super impressed with everything. I am looking forward to ordering or eating more from this place in the near future.

The scramble was a party in my mouth with all the different textures from the fresh diced tomatoes, tender greens and mushrooms, crispy and thick bacon, stretchy cheddar and fluffy eggs. The bowl filled my stomach to the brim. The sweet potatoes were grilled to perfection - soft and mushy yet they maintained their shape. I could use a little more salt on the vegetables but it was quite aromatic with garlic. The express location is in Clarion Hotel by Concord DMV and Veranda. Curbside pickup was seamless, there were multiple signs in the area leading your car to a door. Press the bell and give your name, the server will hand you your bag of goodies.

It's a little deli in an office complex and it seems like all their customers are people on their lunch breaks. Their prices were always great but I came here the other day and all their prices jumped up by several dollars over the course of what seems like a few months. The sandwiches are just as delicious as always but I think the prices are just a little too high for the size of sandwiches they are serving. The staff are always super friendly and service is very quick but I don't know if I will be back unless I'm in the area due to the price increase.

For those who don't know, this is a restaurant in a high school. The students take it as a class…read more As you might imagine, it is a complicated undertaking to be open to the public as a restaurant (which requires sanitation and inspections) inside of a school schedule where classes change every 58 minutes. This information is important when considering the whole experience. The restaurant has been open 3 days per week and will soon close for summer. Its future is a bit uncertain because the executive chef/teacher is retiring and there is someone new coming in. How or if it will change is unknown. This program is so important and I hope everyone will go eat there and check it out. 3 days per week they offer breakfast and lunch. We had lunch. We had potato leek soup (very nice), green salad (very fresh ingredients but dressing had no taste), 3 tacos (excellent) and the chicken curry lavash (the best, in my opinion). They offer dessert as well as baked goods to go. We got awesome peanut butter cookies and an outstanding scone. The space is large and airy and inviting. In our experience, service was the weak link. However, this whole endeavor is a real asset to the school and community and we will absolutely return, and highly recommend that you do, too.

It had lost a lot of its crispiness, but I really liked the maple icing. I thought it paired very well with the cronut.
