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
Tricia B.

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.

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!!

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!

My partner visited Black Magnolia last week after her massage at Green Leaf Wellness center and raved about her cinnamon roll, so I decided to treat myself to one as well and it did not disappoint. I found the Patisserie straight away as I passed it on the way to my massage, but the signage on the curb helps since some businesses in Revolution Mills can be quite difficult to find. The storefront itself is quite small, consisting of a standing room and the glass case of baked goods, but there is seating outside and around the establishment. The staff was attentive, briefing me on all the cinnamon rolls they currently had and letting me know that there were some baking that would be available a bit later. Each roll looked decadent with flavors ranging from lemon blueberry, s'mores, and classic. There were also scones and other baked goods available as well, but I had my heart set on the Classic Cinnamon Roll. I bit into this beauty on my way home and it was the softest and most delicious cinnamon roll I have ever had! Baked with brioche dough and topped with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, the pillowy texture and flavors were so comforting and satisfying. I don't eat sweets often, so this was the perfect treat to end my day with. I am definitely looking forward to trying the lemon blueberry next!

I will suggest that if you are looking for more of the savory items you do have to get there early because it will sell out. The cinnamon bun and scone were absolutely delicious.

It was the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. Just to note, this place is in the cut and you have to go down a few stairs but look for their sign posted outside and parking is right across. I'll definitely come back to try more items.

My wife's wood-fired salmon was pretty good, but her vegetables came out with no seasoning at all. My wood-fired filet was cooked exactly right, but it also had no seasoning, and when you find yourself asking for steak sauce for a filet, something has gone wrong in the kitchen. Then the peach crumble showed up and stole the entire night. It is genuinely amazing, and I'd tell anyone within earshot to order it. Great atmosphere, great service, great drinks, and a dessert worth the trip. If the kitchen brings the seasoning up to the level of everything else, this is easily a four-and-a-half-star restaurant.

They had counter service this morning, where you order at the counter. Since it was my first visit, the young man could probably tell I was new--he greeted me right away and explained how everything worked. The space was clean, and it faces the rising sun. I'd already picked out the perfect seat to let that morning sunshine shine right in. The lemon ricotta pancakes had been calling my name for a while. The young woman at the counter let me know they're soft because of the ricotta. I appreciated the heads-up, since the texture is different from a regular pancake and someone might otherwise think they weren't fully cooked. They were absolutely out-of-this-world amazing! I ordered the three pancakes and only afterward noticed that you can order them individually. Three was definitely too many for me--I made it through two and was stuffed, so I left one lonely pancake behind. I also ordered a side of bacon to add some protein. They also have the cutest little French market inside, with a whole freezer full of items you can take home and bake yourself. And they just introduced some new menu items today, which will be around for the next couple of months: pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes, braised short ribs, beignets, and a savory Dutch baby. If you're ever downtown, stop by and give this place a try! Ciao for now!
