Me and my friend found this place on our way to Charlotte about two months ago. Their breakfast is great! You get so much food for a low price! We've been back twice since that trip and the service is always great! read more

Surprisingly not bad. I'm originally from Monroe & always saw the restaurant but never dined in. I'm pleasantly surprised. Despite the less than attractive building, the restaurant was clean. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating. I ordered the grilled chicken, hash browns, eggs, & grits. I wasn't a fan of the chicken, there was some weird seasoning (I think Italian dressing... Barf). The hash browns, eggs, & grits were delicious. I'll def go back. read more

See all

Not nearly dank enough. Not nearly as filthy as hyped. Definitely a letdown on the presentation department. The food and service was banging, though. read more

Best breakfast you can have in Monroe. Delicious and generous portions. The chicken fingers with the home made ranch dressing are phenomenal. Southern comfort food. I always stop by to eat there when Im in the area. read more

Probably the best grits I have had in Charlotte! This place will be packed and it is a little scary and dirty looking but just go with it. All of the local yocals come here for their breakfast grub. The prices are cheap and the coffee is divine. I normally hate all breakfast food but there is something different about this place that you will never be able to duplicate. Any idiot can make scrambled eggs but having them here is like you have never had them before. Not kidding. I also love that they let you order a BLT in the morning! Thank you little diner! I will definitely be back! read more

We were traveling from Charlotte to Oak Island and came on this restaurant for breakfast. It is fantastic!!! Great breakfast and so afforable! Huge breakfast and great waitresses! Very friendly! read more

Just because food is cheap doesn't mean it's good. I like local family owned restaurants, they are my favorite, especially for breakfast food. I didn't have a good experience here though. The silverware was very dirty for myself and wife, and so were the cups. I had a bacon and cheese omelette; it was over done, small and bland.. the sausage links were good and the grits were alright. The gravy for the biscuits was kind of odd and fake tasting. I don't think I will go here again. Our server had food from the plates she carried all over her stomach and it was touching our plates as well when it arrived. My wife thinks this place is disgusting and dirty. I don't always mind a greasy spoon or hole in the wall, but I have to say, it did distract my experience. read more

Many years ago this used to be the best place for BBQ. It changed owners and became the Knife & Fork. I have often wondered if it was connected to the old Knife & Fork in Charlotte. I refuse to visit here ever again. It truly has the same booths and decor of the old BBQ. Any time there is a lot of rain, wind, etc. in the area I look for a story on the news that the building fell down. From the time I walk through the door until I walk back out I feel a strong urge to go home and take a shower. It feels that dirty and grimy to me. The food is so so. I have had better at other local restaurants. This is one of those places I say eat at your own risk, buyer beware, etc. Although I've not used them I can only imagine that the restrooms aren't any better. read more

I have to say if your going to rate this place solely on decor, and clenliness, it's a minus stars and that is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Normally my husband and I go to waffle house and then when we get shitti service and our order is jacked we point at knife and fork and say we gotta go there and try it out. We'll this time we did, as I lead this with the place is divey but when I tell you I had what may have been the best tasting omlette I've had in over a decade and possibly my life I'm being dead serious. Let's forget I slipped on that half eaten hot dog that was under my table and focus on how awesome the food was....the omelets ingredients were evenly distributed, the orders were correct, quick, delicious, curteous service and cheaper than waffle house with bigger portions. Hubs and I will definitely, be regulars here. read more

Knife & Fork Restaurant - Amazing - Diners Near Me - Monroe, North Carolina

I went there for the first and last time. The female in the entrance gave us a menu and pointed out where to sit I thought to myself was she too lazy to seat us? but then I saw that she did it with everyone it looked soo bad everyone walking around with there menus in hand seating themselves. The food was basic it had a dirty feel to it I did not feel comfortable there will definitely not recommend or go back. read more

Food is good. Breakfast all day. It is what it is. A little neighborhood hole in the wall. Been here many times and will go many more.

Good quality home cookin' comfort food at its best!! There seems to be a carbon copy of this sort of place all over, but this is the real McCoy! You could not ask for better, faster, or friendlier service; and the food is just amazing. Definately a must-do in Union County..... read more

Great little diner that serves breakfast all day. Prices are super reasonable! Came on a Saturday morning and the place is packed! Service was great and food arrived quickly. read more

Everyone is always so nice and polite. Had breakfast today must give it AA+ hash browns fantastic food hot and out of the kitchen quickly.

Will never order a to-go meal again from this restaurant. Our order was completely wrong. Then to top it off the manager was rude when I called to speak to her about the order being wrong. She made it out to be our fault and said she had the correct order there now ready for pick-up. I explained to her we stay 15 mins away and it would be cold by the time we arrive. Her response was they would not make another fresh order and they could re-heat the one she had sitting there. She refused to fix a hot replacement meal for our inconvenience or refund my money. Needless to say we will never eat there again. read more

I love this place. Great fod, excellent prices and a home town feel. Even the bullet whole in the window (from the 70's I believe) adds to the charm and warmth! Life long customer. read more

Love this place! Waitresses are awesome, breakfast is perfect and great prices! The only drawback is the ambiance. Old and very dated but IS clean and that is what matters! read more

This is an older restaurant but the breakfast is great! Quick service, great prices I recommend this restaurant to all.

Me and my husband stopped here and ate after having a procedure at the hospital and really was impressed. We don't go have breakfast out ever and I must say it was great. Who cares about decor and all that fancy stuff. The waitresse was wonderful! The food was wonderful too. Wanted to go there so many times but always went to Waffle House. Let me tell you they blew Waffle House out of the water! Will never eat at Waffle House ever again. Knife and fork has won my heart over! Totally great experience! Thanks knife and fork. Nice hometown experience! read more

i had the fried porkchops and gave me a terrible stomache which lasted me all day long, the decor its awful, this place is stuck back in time, they have plastic plants hanging from the ceiling and you can tell they have never been dusted.. will never go back for sure. hot mess read more

It was a solid american style diner. The food was cheap and portions were large. Nothing exotic just solid. They do allow smoking inside however which is not a plus for the non-smokers out there. read more

Very unwelcoming and unaccommodating. I went there with my boyfriend who is African American (I am white) and the entire place got quiet and stared. We felt very judged and unwelcome. Our waitress never greeted us and seemed to be ignoring us from the moment we walked in. When we asked to substitute bacon for hashbrowns, she immediately said, "no, we can't do that." when we explained that we were vegetarians and would end up wasting the meat, she just said she couldn't do that and we would have to buy the platter and the hashbrowns separately, which made no sense at all. It would have been $8 for 2 pancakes and a hashbrown. Anyway, we ended up leaving. I said thank you when I walked out, and she didn't say anything back. I'll never go back there again or recommend this place to anyone. I hate to say it but the discrimination was evident. read more

Must have new cook ,food used to be good all the time. Breakfast grits hard ,toast old, country ham was like rubber.
