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.

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!!

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. I got there right on time because they just took the scones out. So it was freshly iced and so yummy. What's not pictured is the chocolate chip cookie. Just do yourself a favor and try it. 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.
