Condiments on the table -- Yay!
Kellie D.

Stopped in here on a Friday evening as we were traveling across the state and the place was almost empty. We were told to sit wherever we wanted so we picked a fun emerald green booth for two. Our waitress, Ramsey, was sweet and attentive. We both ordered breakfast-- omelettes. I was thrilled that they came with both hash browns and grits. Both were perfection as was my veggie omelette. Loved that all the condiments were on the table. Nice fuel before a long trail race the next day. Prices were so reasonable and service was impeccable. Highly recommend this diner.

2 Egg Plate with bacon and wheat toast

Fast, friendly, great atmosphere. Our server Hazel was so nice! The diner has an old school 1950s vibe.

What more can I say but the food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and the staff focuses on keeping the dining clean. And even with a crowd, you can have conversations without yelling.

Some of the locals referred this spot to us and I must say they did not disappoint! When we drove up we were a little skeptical but it was worth a the try. The staff was friendly, we went during a weekday morning so it was empty however it did start to get a little crowded when we were leaving. We ordered the short stack (which was just enough) and the meat lovers omelette. I enjoyed the short stack it had a great taste and the meat lovers omelette was great as well. It had bacon, sausage and ham. It also came with grits and some potatoes. We definitely enjoyed it and can't wait to visit again to go back.

Carolina diner never disappoints. A classic diner with an endless menu. I am always shocked with consistent excellent customer service. The staff takes pride in making you feel welcome. Although not the healthiest option, the food is always fresh, hot and delicious. If you need a go to on a regular basis, give them a try.

Pizza Smash Burger
Mike F.

This is an old fashioned, greasy spoon diner, not far from the Greensboro airport. It's a little off the beaten track, but worth the adventure. It js one of five in the area sharing the name and the menu. They serve breakfast, and lunch, with some daily specials. We arrived Sunday morning around 11:30am and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. I had to circle the parking lot twice to fond a parking place. Four of us were seated in a booth on the sunny side of the building. It was a hot spot. The manager tried to fix it, but to no avail. Our server showed up in a timely fashion and took drink orders quickly. She returned quickly to take food orders. The place was slammed, and servers were jumping. Manager was delivering food. So, what about the food? I ordered the Pizza Smash Burger and fries. The burger was delicious - a large, smash burger topped with a meaty pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. The bun was soft and fresh. The patty was flavorful and well cooked. While a bit sloppy, this was a good burger. Ended up using a fork. The fries were hot and crispy. Carolyn and Andy ordered biscuits with sausage gravy with cheesy scrambled eggs and grits. They were pleased and enjoyed their breakfast. Gerald ordered the pork chop breakfast. Came with scrambled eggs, a biscuit with gravy, and grits. Grits were good. Average price was around $11 a person, plus beverage. Service was fast. Kept beverages filled. Other than being a touch warm on our side of the dining room, we enjoyed out visit, and recommend Carolina's Diner, 506 South Regional Road, Greensboro, for a hardy breakfast or lunch.

One of my favorite diners in the triad. You may have to wait for a seat but the service is great and the food is consistently delicious. From breakfast to burgers to pork chops, they get it right. Ordered the country breakfast with 50/50 meat and cheesy scrambled eggs. Sausage gravy was just right!

I stopped in after work with my son. Our kind waitress greeted us right away. The menu has a variety of choices and you guessed it, breakfast all day. The choices are all good. I've been eating here for years. The hash browns are so good. The bacon is cooked to crispy perfection. I ordered my hot dog all the way (chili, slaw, mustard, ketchup, onions) with fries. The crinkle fries were just how I like them. My son ate everything. He was so happy with his meal. Our waitress visited our table often. She was so helpful and friendly to all of the tables. The prices are good. It was clean. Love this place. If you are driving down I-40 and need a place to eat. Stop in this hidden treasure.

Great little friendly place to grab something quick and delicious. You're greeted as you come in with a warm welcome and lots of smiles. Your food order comes out fresh and hot. The menu is kid friendly. Plenty of roomy seats

Needed a little sustenance before heading to the Farmers Market yesterday. Carolina's Diner did not disappoint. Great service, great fried pork tenderloin with white gravy, mashed potatoes, fried squash and for my third vegetable choice...banana pudding. Yummy!

Amanda A.

THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER! We had an amazing time, and my child with a fish allergy could eat there, they had amazing service, and very friendly staff. It was like a better version of Zaxby's (per my child) and she said the waffle was beyond the flavor and quality level of Disney World. The server Brie is fast and courteous. We will be back.

Sausage Skillet
Laura M.

It's a diner, out dated decor in an old building with cooks slinging out home style food for low prices. We ordered two skillets, a sausage skillet and meat skillet and added gravy. They were good, the portions are hearty and the coffee is hot. The restaurant was busy and loud. A kid spilled his drink all over the floor. I saw a dead fly. I think there was a "working gal" walking in front of the Motel 6. I like the Archdale location better. As crazy as this sounds, I am still giving it 4 stars, the skillets were tasty and the waitress was nice.

It was ok, but from the reviews, I was expecting top end diner food. Got an omelette and it was a bit overdone.

I got the double smash patty burger Carolina style (slaw,chili, mustard, onion). Super messy but oh so good! Others in my group got a create your own with pulled pork and slaw and another person got the catfish special with mac and cheese. We also had the loaded tots and southern egg rolls as an appetizer. The food was exceptional except for one thing. Although the catfish crust was amazing and perfect texture, the catfish itself was really watery inside the breading. Other than that, it was all great! The loaded tots were also great. Forgot to take a pic BEFORE we started digging in but you can see the gist in the photo. They're so good! The southwestern egg rolls, although fantastic, are not like they are at most places. They have pulled pork and veggies with them and comes with a Thai chili sauce on the side. Just something to note. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively as always!

Up until our last visit everything has been delicious and we have not been disappointed once... Well this last visit I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich again, (because it was so good the first time!), I don't know if they changed the chicken they use or what but the chicken had a snappy texture that no properly cooked chicken should ever have. I was immediately turned off and could not eat it. I'm hoping it was a one off experience and that next time will be better. All this said, we will be back again and hope for the best!

All of the employees we encountered were very friendly. Ally was our server and was AMAZING. We told her it was our first time there and she gave us some great recommendations. They also made a really good margarita and I am not typically a fan of traditional margaritas. The food and drink recommendations she made for the table were great, and the onion rings are definitely the best ones we've had in the area since relocating here. Both sandwiches we had were great. The Chicken Philly had a little bit of a kick to it, which made it a nice change from usual Philly sandwiches and the Cuban was different from a traditional Cuban as it had some barbecue sauce on it. It was a little different for me at first, but I ended up really liking it. Both salads were pretty big and both people really liked the salads. The person that got the blackened grouper Baja salad thought that the grouper was fabulous, seasoned perfectly and loved the salad overall. This will definitely be a place added to our usual rotations...

The hostess was very nice and quickly had a table cleared. She'd offered to sit me at the bar but 1) it was crowded and 2) I've rarely been happy sitting/eating at the bar so I was glad to wait for a table. It was on the patio and fortunately we had beautiful weather. Without that option, it might have been quite a wait. So many delicious looking pics on Yelp that I was torn between numerous lunch options. I chose the meatloaf sub. Meatloaf on a soft hoagie bun covered with melted cheese, and a side of onion rings. The rings were nice and crisp and actual rings, not the premade minced onions that some serve. I didn't care for the dipping sauce so, when I was able to catch another server, requested ketchup. The sandwich was delicious with the meatloaf nicely flavored. It included a pesto spread which I didn't care for but some might. I would have preferred a marinara base but everyone has their own taste. I'll add this to my return-to places as I'd really like to try their brisket grilled cheese and meatloaf bowl.

I ordered the Daddy's Philly with a side of pesto pasta salad and banana pudding. The Phily was really good. It came loaded with cheese, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, jalapeños and Garlic mayo on a soft bun that wasn't soggy or stale. I was a little surprised because, despite the jalapeños, I didn't find it spicy at all. I love garlic but I think I would prefer regular mayo to the garlic mayo. Compared to other cheesesteaks I've had, I'd give it a 7.5/10. Instead of fries, I chose the pesto pasta salad. The pasta itself had the perfect chewy texture, and I honestly wanted to keep eating it. Unfortunately, it was too salty for my palate. I could only manage a couple of bites, which was disappointing because the texture was amazing.....like how do you get your pasta to that texture, spill the beans! Haha For dessert, I tried the banana pudding. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite style. I personally prefer banana pudding that's light, fluffy, and silky. This one was much thicker and heavier than what I grew up eating, so it just wasn't my preference. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, especially the Daddy's Philly. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, so these are simply my personal preferences. I'd still encourage you to give it a try and decide for yourself. Ciao for now!
