Good experience! They have lots of tables in the back - the front looks like a traditional diner which was cute and hectic - so we took advantage of the beautiful weather and sat on the patio. No wait! The waitress came promptly and our food came out quickly too. Kept our coffees and waters filled, plus they were friendly. We ordered the pot roast bowl and the ya might be a redneck breakfast. Both were delicious and again, came out pretty fast. Glad we spent our morning there! We will be back sometime soon.
We went for a week day breakfast and walked right in. We sat out front on the patio and our server was so nice. We chatted with her as we ordered our water and coffee. My husband ordered the Taylor ham roll and I got the hunka hunka French toast which was delicious. I used more strawberry jam Than syrup which almost made it like a pbj sandwich. Can't wait to go back again for another casual, diner breakfast
Nice breakfast spot- walked here on a Sunday morning around 11am and enjoyed a leisurely meal with friends. No wait, we were seated immediately in the back room, which I didn't see from the outside- this place is a lot bigger than I thought! They put two tables for us together as a party of 9 (including 3 little ones). Our server was friendly and attentive with orders, refills, etc. I had the hunka French toast (pb and banana) with bacon and a couple over easy eggs. It hit the spot. Had a couple cups of nice hot coffee too. Friends enjoyed their omelets, pancakes and grits. Very diner like feel - lots of retro decor, photos, and homey feel- here and great prices/value. Menu is very vegan/vegetarian friendly as well.
Well! I was rushing from site to site today like normal when I saw a lace that said EAT HERE! So I said well why the hell not! Damn glad I stopped. I don't get meatloaf at home so when I saw it in the menu I knew I had to try it. There is good meatloaf and then there's Mattie's moms meatloaf #Banger!! The place is what I expect a diner to look like and this place just oozes attitude I loved it! Great job!
GREAT IF YOUR VEGAN! Tons of Vegan options! Unfortunately I'm not vegan. The place is a flash back to my past growing up in NJ in the Diner scene. Vibes 5 Stars Service 3 Stars Food 2 Stars We had the vegetable omelet a lot of fresh vegetables but so BLAND. I mean I never add salt to my food when I'm out to eat NEVER! But this I had to. Not to mention the dry, cold, stale tasting rye toast. Grits were super basic. Blueberry Pancake looked fantastic but super bland also. They don't have any non pork breakfast options beside vegan sausage or bacon no Turkey options. Oh and your omelette doesn't come with hash brown like most every diner I've ever been too! Service was very intimidating and not welcoming. It was pretty busy so maybe we just went on a off day. It happens. On a high note the COFFEE was really good but the coffee cups are weren't very clean.
The good news is they offer delivery via the normal channels: Uber Eats, Grub Hub, Door Dash. They also serve food inside at the diner. If only I chose that option. Love me some good diner food action.Had an appointment that I did not want to be late for so I opted for delivery: The Pappy which is 2 scrambled eggs, toast, bacon and home fries with onions and peppers. Had the menu scoped out and happily awaited my order. To my dismay no quality control done on this order. No butter or jelly for my toast; No salt or pepper or ketchup or even hot sauce. No napkins or silverware. Nobody could have checked this order before it left the diner which is very disappointing. Sadly I cannot give a solid rating as I look at my anticipated breakfast getting colder by the minute.. Oh well let me at least eat the toast. No knife or fork needed Lol. #stillHungry
Visited on a Sunday morning around 10am and had no wait. Ordered the Hunka Hunka Burnin' Toast which is Challah French toast with peanut butter and bananas and comes with a side of meat. I ordered bacon. Unfortunately the bacon came out way later than the French Toast and we had to ask the waiter a couple times to bring it. The French toast was delicious. Definitely would return if I was in the area.
Sunday is our chill day so we decided to go somewhere casual at Mattie's diner. We were told we could sit anywhere so we took a booth in the larger room. I was craving pancakes so I got the regular blueberry pancakes and vegan sausage which was delicious. My hubby got the hunka burnin peanut butter and banana French toast with country ham. He enjoyed it but you have to really like peanut butter. We both drank half sweet half unsweetened tea. The staff was friendly and attentive. They also have outdoor seating. Our bill was about $34. The only problem parking is tight. We definitely will be back.
If you know what a diner is, then you're in luck here. Now, the menu isn't 5 pages long, and they are confused on the name of pork roll :) but other than that, it does not disappoint! It's simple, but growing up in Philly/jersey, there's something about diner green beans. Maybe it's that they're overcooked (in the best way), or it's the water they're boiled in, but whatever it is, Mattie's has it figured out. It took me back to our Thursday night diner nights at the Toms River diner. Their Jersey burger is on point (minus calling a delicious breakfast meat by the wrong name), with the right color cheese and all. They also have a decent kids menu, and I love the variety of sides on it. Our server was great, and cool with my kid slowly figuring out how to order for herself (which I thoroughly appreciate)! He also poured the "perfect beer"!!
Who doesn't love diner food? Or breakfast all day options. If you say you don't, are you even human lol. I stopped in abt 1:45 on a Monday, not knowing they close at 2 on Mondays. But that didn't stop me from still getting great customer service. The young man who was my waiter was very sweet. I apologized for coming in so late right before they closed, but he wouldn't hear of it and with a big smile told me it was no prob at all. So I decided to order some blueberry pancakes with side of bacon. Yummy! I went light in the blueberries, and the edges were crunchy which is a must for me and my pancakes lol. I also decided to go ahead and order some dinner to go, got the moms meatloaf with greens and Mac. Can't wait to try that out as well. With so many places closing in town that offer that "old school" feel, I'm so glad after years of not being around that Mattie's finally came back. I remember going to them often years ago when they were over in the Avid Xchange area which back then was known as the music factory. Good times and good food.
Food fast and made to order!! Service was attentive and friendly. I loved the sweet potato home fries, I highly recommend!! Ambiance is casual and great for large parties and wheelchair accessible. I highly recommend.
Stumbled upon this "Gem" of a place this weekend on Saturday - 20 January 2024; It was a cold morning, and this "New York Fat Boy" was foraging for an appropriate place to fill my belly. So, I took a chance - rolled my Orange Dice and drove my Orange Car over to this "Old School" - Box Car Diner with a tremendous amount of history behind it. Place is packed and bumping. Had to park in the "Overflow" lot next door which goes to show you what is going on. The intoxicating aroma of deliciousness and love simply will draw you in from the parking lot. Immediately - upon stepping into the "Box Car" you are transported away to a different world. How can I describe the Owner/Operator - other than a Captain of a Ship; - Everyone working in Mattie's Diner is amazing; - Everyone is friendly, enthusiastic and stand proud and steadfast devoted to ensuring diner satisfaction; - You feel like you are seated inside a "Box Car Diner" - The ambiance is amazing. Friends - this is a place that you must try. Saturday's Visit was just amazing; - Food was just unbelievable; - I visited there for Lunch; Most folks were eating Brunch. I would come back this morning (Sunday) - 21 January 2024 for Breakfast/Brunch; - This place is more than your typical Diner Food - the place has character, bite and class. The waitresses call you honey and sweetie; - You will not find a more local of a place; Yet - Ironically the Owner/Operator "Mattie" is your "Quintessential" Charlotte Boy originally hailing from Lyndhurst, New Jersey. Apparently - this is where he procured the originally Diner Box Car and transported down to North Carolina. Take a look at my pictures and videos from the weekend; they say it all. Everything that you will devour is made fresh and simply made to order. Tremendous Vegan / Vegetarian options; - You're not going to find a place more respectable of the most discerning palates. This place is frequented by Charlotte's Bravest - Witnessed, Firefighters dropping in to pick up food; - so you know it must be good. Tremendous selection of delicious beverages to wash down your meal; - Including this Amazing "Organic Soda" - Don't fear the Sugar - it was amazing. I'm a Doctor - trust me, a little bit can't hurt you. Pot Roast Entrée was amazing and taste like "Bubbie" used to make; - That's Yiddish for Grandma. This place is the epitome of melting pot with people speaking in various languages, dialects and accents. Don't worry - You won't get lost. Wait staff are psychotically accommodating and will ensure that you leave stuffed and smiling. Parking could potentially be a bit of a challenge, but don't fret/fear - you can make your way to the "Overflow" lot just a few feet away and find a great spot to park; - Otherwise just be patient - there is lots of movement at this place because everyone is coming and going. Place is truly spotless, I have to mention the extremely clean bathrooms; But - that's because the team takes tremendous pride in every aspect of this institution. Sit down, because I'm about to say something important - Mattie's Diner may possibly be one of the top 10 restaurants in Charlotte. I'm not kidding. Enjoy a "Little Slice of Jersey" in the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina - I'm not kidding. Don't be a fool! - Try it! - Great for couples and the family. Could get a bit tight for large groups. Overall - A+ - I challenge you to find a place with better food, down home character and local charm - all rolled up into one. You will leave feeling a part of this institution. Enjoy!
The Aesthetic: Old-fashioned yet modern diner in a cute vintage building with friendly, NJ service. Retro decor that will make you feel like you're in an old movie. The Price: It is slightly pricey for diner food, but not extravagant. Most prices on the menu are fair for the quality you're getting. You get what you pay for. The Value: This is becoming the theme of my reviews, but you get a lot of good quality food for the price you pay here. I always leave feeling satisfied and full. The Parking: There's only a few spots up front, but there is a hidden lot in the back. If you're going for Saturday or Sunday brunch hours, plan ahead! My Order: My meal here always starts with the Orange Soda float, I'm obsessed. I get too full for my meal every time, but I love it. I also love all of their loaded fries, flapjacks, the mac, the collards, and the pot roast. My lover really likes the Carolina Burg. There is so much to try, I've never had a bad meal here. The Conclusion: Prepare to fire up the jukebox and eat some old-fashioned delights at the best diner in CLT.
Diners are always a great option for Mrs. K. and I. She's doing a vegetarian eating regime and I'm on a keto diet. So basically, one with no meat and one with all meat. A diner, with their wide menu, works well. And our lunch today at Mattie's was excellent. We arrived right at the tail end of the lunch rush. A friendly hostess brought us to the last booth in the front section of the restaurant and then a waitress took our drink orders. Lots of shouting and "Order ready!" from the kitchen while we looked over the menu and then placed our orders. About ten minutes later, a plate of French Toast with vegan sausage on the side for Mrs. K. Light, fluffy, delicious. The sausage was great! For me, Mattie's Mom's Meatloaf. A massive thick slice of meatloaf topped with melted cheese, grilled onions and spicy marinara. My two sides, a creamy cole slaw and green beans with bacon were excellent. We both enjoyed our meals. Neither of us could finish the huge plates! Five stars, will definitely return. [Review 649 of 2025 - 4136 in North Carolina - 24210 overall] read more
BFF wanted to go here because he saw vegan omelette via social media. Well, he described it as a Jersey diner and they had nonVegan items. Ok. Sunday lunch. Friend got on the list. But the Bestie that wanted to have this met me in the parking lot scared there would be cross contamination and wanted to go elsewhere. He's been a dedicated vegan since 2008 or 2010. Either way, this ain't for play nor show. He's principled. The other vegan is really pescatarian and could careless. I have severe allergies and definitely care if there's cross contamination. Young lady seating is asked about how the cooktop works for vegan items: 1) is there a separate cooktop? 2) are new utensils used? They did a good job answering and owning what they didn't know but sought someone to answer the questions. Young lady showed us the place where we'll sit and she would go get answers and be right back. She never came back. Alas, the server showed up and he didn't know either nor did anyone ask him or inform him. I had to clean the table and seats were more upsetting to me. The busboy popped nearby and I asked for his spray bottle and he apologized saying he'd clean. H wiped everything but dried nothing. Server returned without answers but someone got another guy to explain their process. He was helpful. I was content. I can say pics on Yelp leave much to be desired but I got the chicken fried chicken + mashed potatoes and sweet potato waffle fries. The vegans got their food first and we got an explanation. I didn't care. Bring it as it's ready. I understand. Plus y'all know vegan cheese doesn't melt. Lol. I didn't desire their vegan breakfast quesadilla nor padrino (I think that's what one had). See pictures. I must say I wanted to get the greens but I will definitely order them on another visit. The vegan ordered vegan pancakes for All to try. I like the crispy edges of any pancake but didn't need the pecans. The vegan butter and syrup was impressive. We got a lot of apologies in due time as 1) straws were forgotten 2) soup of day query was forgotten 3) refills forgotten 4) table wasn't cleaned 5) Milkshake was delayed but hey ... It takes as long as it takes. But I didn't order it so I can't say. I was most bothered the itemized check was taken away so I don't have an image for this review but also BECAUSE a huge convo took place regarding the tip. A new immigrant to the USA was amongst us AND had legit questions so I was happy to explain but their receipts show 20% totals and higher for tipping yet this receipt show the total with tax. Tips for on the pre-tax total. Long and short I can recommend 1) fried chicken fried 2) sweet potato waffle fries 3) mashed potatoes 4) brown and light gravy 5) vegan pancakes 6) American potatoes looked great but I didn't touch em as I had plenty Parking is rough. Cleanup in between flipping/turning tables doesn't really happen in the overflow and I'm good on that. Like, sweeping and wiping can be done between tables and as parties depart. The staff is younger like everyone appear to be teens which led a dining member inquire where are the adults? I think I saw 1. There is an overflow parking lot. read more
Mattie's diner is a great staple to have in rotation. Friendly and fast service and many many menu options with generous portions. The PORK ROLL and the Breakfast Quesadilla are my go tos. Classic diner with a twist. I love that there's a huge outdoor area as well. read more

Thanks Ally!!!!!
The last time I dined at Mattie's my 7-year-old granddaughter was twirling on a chrome stool by the cash register while polishing off a bowl of ice cream. Then, suddenly, it shut down and was mothballed for several years. Now it's back as I remember and even better. After a series of letdowns Matt King and his iconic 1949 gleaming diner found a home in the Shamrock-Midwood area. And what a home it is. Ya just gotta go! We ordered a couple of their classics: "Ya Might be a Redneck" for Lori which is an outta this world chicken fried chicken breast with sawmill gravy, two eggs and a side; and I ordered "The Jersey Sandwich" with Taylor ham, two eggs, and cheese on wonderful roll with a side. Fantastic. I could go on and on. This is my kinda place: divey, juicy, edgy, quirky. Delicious. Has the fryers set to high on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. As their sign says, "Eat here." Such a no-brainer. read more

We had a great family night out for dinner at Mattie's Diner. I loved my Italian chopped salad (classic iceberg base, as expected, but with plenty of chopped veggies and deli meat and cheese on top). My husband got a burger with an egg, cooked to order. He really enjoyed it. Our one year old daughter had a side of macaroni and cheese (bowtie pasta with Matti's house made cheese sauce) and she really enjoyed it. She also enjoyed eating dad's waffle cut sweet potato fries. We topped the meal off with a classic chocolate shake that we shared as a family. Delicious, of course! We really enjoyed having the opportunity to have classic diner food but eaten outside in the shaded former garage area. They have great circulation with the fans above and the doors open. When it's colder out, we'd love to eat inside in the old section of the original diner. It was just a little warm inside by the grill for us today. This will likely be a new family favorite! read more
I feel like I say this often but I can't wait to make my way through the menu. This trip I went with the stuff meatloaf and was in love with each bite. The marinara was a different touch than what I'm used to as a meatloaf sauce but it went with the mozzarella so well. My sides of green beans with bacon and mashed potatoes with brown gravy on the side felt like home. My friend got the Mattie Melt and swapped the onions for mushrooms and really enjoyed it. The French fries were heavily seasoned and were crispy. We also got an order of the special that day - Brussel sprouts with bacon on a balsamic glaze and they were some of the best sprouts I've had this year. I've been thinking about them ever since, actually. All of the staff was supper friendly and kind. The feel is very diner-like, as the name implies. They do have an outside space as well as a space that's indoor/outdoor. Next time I go I'll need to try to save room for dessert! read more
I did delivery and enjoyed the burger wrap and vegan sloppy Joe. Great service they called to let me know the side I picked with the vegan sloppy Joe wasn't vegan and to be sure I wasn't strictly vegan. I have also been for breakfast which was yummy and fun diner vibe inside. read more
I love a good throw back and vintage 50s style diners are my jam, so after driving past this place many times I finally decided to come in for dinner on a week night. What's cools is that while in the front you have your typical diner setup with booths, and bar stools by the counter, they also have a dining room and outdoor area where it opens up more if you would like more space or a more modern dining experience. Me personally I took the booth right away. I opted to go with their hot ass burger with a side of Mac and cheese. The burger was delicious with a nice hot sauce to give it some kick and the Mac and cheese was melted deliciousness. If I wasn't so full I definitely would have ended the night with a milk shake. I fully intend to come back for breakfast as I loved everything here from the vibe to the service to the food. This place is a gem. read more
LOVE. THIS. SPOT. Breakfast at Mattie's Diner was so good. It was simple, fresh, and tasty. Probably best diner food I've had. Omelet was delish, and blueberry pancake was a great shareable as well. The vibe is so nice, everyone is so friendly from the patrons to the staff. I can't wait to come back to try lunch or dinner. read more

VEGAN / PLANT BASED REVIEW: if you're looking for something good to eat for breakfast and you're vegan, come here. I was very satisfied with their take on a vegan quesadilla with vegan sausage, egg and cheese. They really hit it out the park and the price was affordable too! read more

Kids' burgers and fries were good, burger was a decent size and they both cleaned their plates. Service was really good. Friendly and efficient. Being from any I love me a good diner so was really disappointed with the chicken fried chicken. I can only guess that it was cooked from frozen as the outer edges were over cooked (very dry and edging on grey in color) while the middle wasn't fully cooked and was still pink. They have no issue with taking it off the bill but left me without a meal (kids were almost done with theirs so didn't want them to have to wait). Will say that the sweet potato fries were delicious though. So 3 stars for some really great and some really bad parts. Will have to see if I'm ever up for giving them another shot. With the prices being much higher than a diner usually, was thinking the chicken would be fresh cooked. Oh and bathrooms were clean. Love that they're gender neutral! And sitting out on the patio was a nice add. read more

We were seated right away at the bar top, the staff was very friendly. The food came out very fast and everything tasted great! The gravy is a great topping for the omelette. Will definitely go back! read more

I stumbled upon Mattie's while burning time waiting for my flight (it's not real close to the airport, 20 minute...I had 3 hours to burn.) I love a good diner, and looked Mattie's up because the building just looked cool (an old tire shop). I got the Mattie Melt...and sat the counter because I love that vibe. They cooked a fresh burger right in front of me, well seasoned and perfect. The sauces are made in house (I recommend the Mattie sauce if you like some spice, the Russian was also delicious). Onion rings were good for a frozen bagged ring. But the burger was the star. If you like diner food, this is your spot. The service was also phenomenal. Everyone was nice, and seemed truly appreciative of each customer who was eating. It was 1:30 on a Monday and people were still coming and going for lunch. I look forward to returning in September. read more

Absolutely loved our experience at Mattie's -- what a gem of a restaurant! We ordered the vegan meatloaf, sloppy Joe fries, cookies n' cream and strawberry shakes (with a fried Oreo), and the livermush burger -- WOW! Everything was so tasty and I don't think there is a bad thing on the menu. Enough about the food, the staff were great! They had plenty of suggestions for us and were super friendly all around. And finally, the jukebox was rockin' so the vibe was right the whole time. Definitely check this joint out! read more

I used Door Dash to try a new spot for dinner after a long work day last night, 12-6-23. I ordered a kid's French toast with livermush, a cup of grits, home fries with onions and peppers, smart soda diet coke.What's seen in the pictures is exactly what was left at my front door. I used 2 stars instead of 1 because I'm not sure if what I received is because of this restaurant or the driver. I received flatware but absolutely no condiments. The grits & the livermush were the best looking and tasting items. There were holes in the Styrofoam containers of the home fries and the French toast & livermush; it looked like either someone made the holes or something gnawed its way through. The home fries were not seasoned at all. While it was a kid's French toast because I didn't want to eat too much too late, there is no reason for it to look like someone gnawed on one piece and then threw it back in the container. There was no powdered sugar or syrup included.I chose this place because of the good reviews I saw. Hopefully, this was an off night. I most certainly did not receive the food or service I read about. read more

The food was delicious and there was no wait as they have plenty of patio and outdoor seating with the diner. The parking lot is small but there is parking across the street as well. We enjoyed our Junkyard Bowl and Pappy's Breakfast. Lee our waiter was awesome. I'll be back. read more
