Chili cheese smashburger
Mike B.

We came here a little before noon on a Sunday. The restaurant is located within a small shopping area, it was easy to find and parking was ample. When we arrived there was a steady stream of people entering through the door. We were able to walk in and join a few other customers who were waiting to be seated. The lobby area is pretty small and doesn't allow for many people but you could wait outside if needed as well. The young man at the register was keeping a wait list but we noticed there was counter seating available and asked if we could sit there and he replied yes. There were a total of eight chairs at the counter, approximately seven booths along the wall and one table near the front. We were provided menus and our drink orders were taken. We began to look over the menu and thought they had a great selection of both breakfast and lunch items. We both decided to order one of their smashburgers, I chose the chili cheese (6 oz. hand pattied smashburger topped with beanless chili, cheddar cheese and onion). My wife chose the super smash burger minus the bun (two 6 oz. hand pattied smashburgers served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and your choice of cheese). I chose the tots and my wife chose the sweet potato fries to accompany our burgers. Our food arrived pretty quick and looked delicious! Of course, my camera ate first but we quickly dug into our burgers and were impressed. My wife commented her burger and sweet potato fries exceeded her expectations and mine was equally yummy. Our server was friendly and helpful and we thought the prices were very reasonable. The menu states they have a total of four locations in the area and we would absolutely recommend to others.

No fuss, no frills, no hipster/off the wall menu. Classic diner with a whole classic vibe. Breakfast menu is extensive as well as lunch and other options. I like that you can essentially choose whatever you want for a platter/sandwich - as far as down to the specific protein and bread you want your food on. Food comes out quick, Will I say it's the best? No...but it's better than what you would expect at a diner. Bacon and sausage are of good quality and not the cheap kind...even though the food is pretty cheap overall. Bologna sandwich was ok. Has all the essential condiments including Texas Pete. Service is great and makes you feel welcomed. Would recommend for a quick, solid breakfast.

Best diner in town. Sometimes one needs a good breakfast for dinner & sadly that's hard to find in GSO. Carolina diner has it! Excellent service, clean restaurant, plenty of options to choose from for breakfast all day or lunch/dinner. Server was knowledgeable, kind and speedy, but not too speedy. We will be back and I highly recommend this place.

Country fried steak, eggs over easy, hashbrowns (with onions added), grits and sour dough toast

I'm kicking myself because I didn't go there 3 years ago when I moved to Greensboro. Now, this will be THE place I go to whenever I want breakfast for a meal (day or night). I was welcomed right away and watched as one of the waitress called each guest by name as they walked in. Fantastic. I LOVED my country fried steak, hashbrowns (they added some diced onions per my request and they were TOP LEVEL DELICIOUS! My over-easy eggs were cooked perfectly, and I loved the sourdough sliced bread as an option. My breakfast came with hashbrowns AND grits!?! I'm spoiled now. Just lovely. I'll go back soon and again and again and again...

An excellent diner with solid food, good prices and friendly staff. I've had the smash burger the last few visits. Not a thin smash burger like is typical, but excellent beef flavor...served with a buttered bun and the normal compliments. Find a swipe of may is good and like it served with hash browns. A solid choice I think you'd enjoy!

Food = amazing Service = so kind and attentive, great energy This is the diner that reminds me of home and why I love NC so much!!!!!

Hot delicious home cooked food. Staff was friendly and food was absolutely delish. I got an omelette with a pancake on the side. They serve breakfast all day which I love since I didn't go til 8p. There was no wait but the place is small so I can imagine on wkend mornings the wait can be extensive.

Dropped off the kiddos at school and went to look for a place to fill up to start our morning. Decided to try this diner since it was open. Walking in gave me a homey-feel. The kind of place you might have hit up because it's familiar, consistent, and staffed with friendly folks. I know our waitress was! She was so curious about the giant cast on my leg and the knee scooter I was trying to weave through the small aisle with. Very accommodating and didn't make me feel like a burden! I wanted a chicken salad but they didn't have any that day. I opted for the tuna salad instead and it tasted great! Just a solid, very simple, tuna salad which I appreciated that day. Hubby got himself a breakfast hash and it looked beautiful. No frills or thrills here, but if you're looking for a solid diner, I'd check it out.

We love it here I have no words make us speechless how great customer service they have. Decor was simple and like a diner and had plenty of room to move around. Now the food Carolina big boy breakfast was well worth the 10$ you get your money worth and it fills you up and the flavor profile bomb. I wasn't that hungry and got a chicken salad fresh greens and perfect seasoned chicken.

Dinner at Carolina's Diner!

We always love coming to Carolina's Diner! The food is great, and staff wonderful. Savannah is the best server! The Southern food is amazing, as well as the desserts!

Country ham and egg on wheat. Delicious food and outstanding service.  I will return.

My other niece had the crab cake sandwich, she said it was good but the fruit was plated on the same plate so it was warm which was not appealing to her so she didn't eat it. I had the French toast platter with the fried chicken. The French toast was pretty good but the bread used was pretty flat but it was tasty and the chicken was overcooked, there was some black spots from being fried too long. The hit at our table was the cheesy grits, very cheesy and flavorful. We'd definitely go back to try other things on the very extensive menu!!

Diner style is the ambiance! Nailed it! I always order from here on DoorDash and was glad to be able to finally visit it in person, sit down, and eat. My family being with me was a HUGE bonus! Thank you for accommodating all of us. The one star off is for all of us having to pay $15 each to park in the lot that says Jake's Diner. I am sure many people have thought that this is where you park to visit and have gotten tickets or towed. Something needs to be changed about that. You have to prepay for parking. They need a different system or have validated parking.

I watched you cater to 3 other tables and pretty much ignore us. To be fair, I've eaten at Jake's on Wendover a few times. I knew the type of food. It's always been excellent. We arrive. The white lady with the high pony tail says "sit anywhere that's clean. Cool. Didn't get her name. I will call her P. All the small booths on the perimeter were full. We take the large booth in the back corner. The tables in the center were six tops. That booth wasn't clean clean. 50-11 crumbs in the chair. I wipe them off. We wait. No menus brought. One of the expediters walks by. Didn't even stop . A four top arrives. P is at their table in 2.5 seconds with menus and cutlery. Well dayum. Why don't we have anything? We see our waitress waiting on the table next to us. She takes the orders of the two older gentlemen making small talk even. No worries. What she did next should have told me how this whole experience was going to go. She brought the menus from their table to our table. Ummmmm, I don't know what cruds they could have had. Then asked what we wanted to drink. Ma'am! We just got menus. She returns with our water. Asks if we are ready to order. Ma'am' we just got these menus. We place our orders. I ask her name. Like you rolled up on us and didn't even introduce yourself. Jasmine takes our order. Food comes out faster than expected. Great! That's where it begins to go downhill. Jasmine never brought cutlery to our table. We had to ask and wait longer than I think it should have taken. Mind you I saw how P was working her table. Jasmine checked on the gentlemen several times. A family sat at a table on the other side of them. She was speedy with their service. More on that later. The gentlemen leave. Mind you Jasmine hasn't come back to our table at all. Wait once after we got all our food. That's how we go cutlery. I've drank my glass of Diet Pepsi. Would be nice to get a refill. She comes back with a wet rag to wipe off the table where the gentleman sat THEN asks if we need anything. I ask for a Diet Pepsi refill. Bae is in the bathroom and I let her know that he wasn't satisfied with his meal. She just looked like "oh, okay". No server should ever want to hear this. We did not ask for a manager. Meanwhile across the restaurant P has already served and turned that four top. Recall they were sat after us. As I continued to look around other tables were getting soda refills. AND I saw piping hot food delivered. Bae's eggs weren't piping hot. I mean "steam" was coming off these other plates. Bae came back to the table as I was telling Jasmine he wasn't happy with his food. We went there for French toast. He ate one piece. Half his eggs and half his potatoes. He asked for the check. This is after I'd asked for my refill. So I asked again. Jasmine brings out all the food for that family's table. She even brings. An extra plate. Looks over and must have remembered our requests. In the time she went to get an extra plate I could have had a soda refill which I really wanted to drink my soda in the restaurant as I finished my meal. She instead brings it in a to go cup. Fine but had she been more attentive I would have had a refill at the table. Enough about the mid level service. In case you're wondering Bae did tip her 15%. His food did not arrive piping hot. I didn't get a refill. We had to ask for cutlery and watch everyone else around us get better service even those in our section. No, the restaurant wasn't packed but patrons steadily flowed in. We shouldn't have been there for as long as we were. The food? Not terrible except the meat to bread ratio in the patty melt (see photo). Thin party. It was very tasty. I enjoy a good patty melt don't expect the meat to be that thin. The grits? Ouch! Not a lick of salt in the cooking liquid. If you do have salt in the water, please double it. Once I added salt they tasted fine. Bae didn't complain about the coffee so I will say that was fine. Bae says we're not going back to this location. Which is disappointing since it's a short drive and one of few places that serves regular degular French toast. I knew Jake's on Wendover and Downtown would be packed due to GHOE. The Battleground location was busy and getting overflow from the place up the street from them where we went first so we didn't stop there. As we were leaving Jasmine was already talking to the new patrons at the table where those gentleman were sitting. They hadn't been there two minutes whereas we easily waited five minutes before being acknowledged. I'm not saying don't go to Jake's. By all means give them a shot. They have been a Greensboro staple for decades! Our experience this time was less than 4 stars. That's all.

We ordered our food to go, but the atmosphere inside was nice when we stopped in to pick it up. Our previous frustration wasn't necessarily bad food--it was inconsistency. We'd experienced unanswered calls, calls answered without anyone speaking, and trips there only to find nobody there. That had kept us from returning for a while. This time, my son loved his waffle sliders and gave them a 10/10. My shrimp and grits were also a 10/10! They were flavorful and easily the highlight of my meal. My husband enjoyed his three-piece wings and bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. The biscuit earned an 8/10, although he wished there was more filling to balance the amount of bread. I ordered a strawberry shortcake waffle but received a strawberry waffle with strawberries and strawberry syrup instead. That was disappointing, and I passed it to another family member, who enjoyed it. We landed on a 7.5/10 for that one, factoring in the order mix-up. Overall, this was a much better experience and gave us a reason to return. I hope the consistency continues because those shrimp and grits and waffle sliders were worth another visit!

I'm so glad I did check my bag before I left because they did not give me ranch or plasticware, man I would have missed out on some amazing ranch.
