Bissell Breakfast, sausage instead of bacon. Out of frame... the pancakes!
Tom C.

Been a while since last review and Metro still nails it. Have tried many things beyond breakfast at this point and all those options are great too. Burgers, fried chicken, fish and chips, club sandwich, meatloaf , roast turkey and beyond all hit the mark. Thankful to have a location close by.

Small shrimp and grits
Laurie M.

So glad I took my daughter up on the invite for lunch here. Place was packed but the wait was not bad at all. Our server was great, very attentive and told us all about the specials. My daughter got one of the specials the Banana Pudding Pancakes. She said they were delicious. Her roommate got eggs biscuit and hashbrowns and said they were also great. I had the Shrimp and Grits. They were some of the best shrimp and grits I have ever had. I really wanted to try to chicken and waffles but it looked like such a large serving that I will have to save that for another time. We shared the mimosa flight. It was very good too. The mimosas on the flight were orange, pineapple, strawberry lemonade, and peach mango.

Metro diner is an experience. There are several locations and this one is just tucked away in a strip mall in Huntersville. So not quite as exciting as the one downtown, but you're still gonna get good service and good diner food. It's nothing over-the-top, but it does hit the spot. This location is a bit tight inside, but there is plenty of seating. They also have a very nice outside patio. So will you be blown away? No, but you'll come away with a full belly and satisfied.

Eggs, Side & Toast
Tina S.

My husband and I went here after my procedure and I was starving. It was a Wednesday early afternoon. We were seated quickly. Staff were very accommodating. I ordered pancakes eggs cheese grits and English muffin. My husband had hueros eggs and 2 teas. Food was good but grits were watery. We will be back to try other items. They have a large menu.

Fish sandwich
Marnell J.

Metro is truly a good place where there's something for everyone; anytime of the day. You can breakfast all day along with dinner. Today we had the fish sandwich with coleslaw and the half of fried chicken with Mac and cheese and coleslaw. Please forgive me, as I forgot to take a picture of my chicken. The smell of the food driving home, I forgot to take a picture after feeding mom. The service is always great. Staff is accommodating and pleasant when we dine in or take out. The ambiance is a rustic type venue. Its a great family friendly restaurant.

Sloan M.

The food is always good here and the service by Brooks was outstanding. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles. We sat outside. I wish the screens were down and the screen door was still in place because the flies were everywhere.

Shrimp and grits
Danielle W.

I got sat at a table right away. My server Celeste was attentive even though it was quite busy. I ordered shrimp and grits with toast and a mimosa. Everything was delicious.

Spicy Honey Chicken Biscuit and Fresh fruit
Michaela H.

We got seated right away at 10:30 on a Sunday morning. Amazing service- our waitress was super kind and attentive. I had the spicy honey chicken biscuit with a side of fresh fruit. It was the perfect portion size if you didn't want to take anything home. The chicken was cooked well. The ambience was your typical breakfast diner- nothing too fancy. Overall, it was a great place to

This diner was an awesome Yelp choice. Old school look with amazing service and food…read more My eggs were fluffy as well as my pancakes. The chicken wings were huge, fried just right and juicy. Kudos to the chef. Only negative is they offer a whipped spread instead of real butter. Delicious pancakes deserve good butter. I asked for real butter and all they had was honey butter. Do not sleep on asking for it. While it still spread, the honey makes it much better.

We came to Charlotte for a concert and decided to stay the night instead of driving home. By the…read moretime we got settled in, dining options were pretty limited, so we searched online and this spot looked like the best choice -- and we're glad we found it. When we pulled up, there was a police outside, which didn't bother us. If anything, it made things feel more secure. They also use a metal detector when you walk in before being seated. Don't let that scare you off though -- this place is a well-oiled machine and everything felt organized and under control. Our server was fantastic: calm, attentive, and never pushy. I ordered the country fried steak with collards and mashed potatoes with gravy, and my husband got a burger. My meal was excellent, and it came with a perfectly flaky biscuit. The tea was Southern SWEET tea, too. My husband said his burger was good for a diner, fresh vegetables and the fries were seasoned well. The diner itself is adorable, full of character and charm. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely come back.

Unfortunately, we never even had the opportunity to eat because of what happened as we entered the restaurant. As I walked in, the heavy metal door clipped my toe, causing a deep cut that immediately started bleeding profusely. There was blood everywhere. Still in shock, I looked at the host and asked, "Um...where's the bathroom?" He awkwardly pointed me in the right direction. Once inside the restroom, I found there were no paper towels and the sink was dirty, making it even more difficult to clean the wound. My daughter grabbed napkins while I searched for someone who could help or provide a first aid kit. I stood there bleeding, with other customers looking on uncomfortably, while no employee checked on me. Eventually, an employee asked if I needed something. I calmly asked for a first aid kit. I was trying to hold myself together and was on the verge of tears. After some time, he located one and essentially tossed it toward my daughter. He seemed visibly annoyed rather than concerned. No one asked if I was okay, offered assistance, or showed even a small amount of empathy. Once I was able to get the bleeding under control enough to walk, I left in tears and returned to my hotel to properly clean and bandage my foot. Not a single employee checked on me before I left. In fact, it felt like everyone simply disappeared. Because of the incident, I can't comment on the food. However, I can comment on the customer service, and it was incredibly disappointing. Accidents happen--I don't blame the restaurant for that. What I do blame is the complete lack of compassion, urgency, and basic concern shown toward an injured guest who was actively bleeding in the middle of the restaurant. I'm not someone who leaves negative reviews lightly, and I'm certainly not looking for special treatment. I simply expected a little kindness and concern. A simple "Are you okay?" or "Can we help you?" would have gone a long way. Instead, my 12-year-old daughter was the only person helping me while the staff seemed inconvenienced by the situation. Based on this experience, I can't recommend supporting a business that responds to an injured customer with such indifference.

I tend to go for the Huevos Rancheros, the breakfast tacos, which are absolutely delicious and definitely the kind of breakfast that makes you need a nap afterwards. I usually pair them with the fruit or the home fries, which are delicious as well. My boyfriend ordered the Ranchero Scrambler and really enjoyed it and said he would definitely order it again. I've also tried the breakfast burrito, which is MASSIVE and honestly great to share with someone! We typically sit outside and love the view of the main street. You can also sit closer to the entrance area, which is pretty, and sometimes they even have a live band or singer out there which really adds to the atmosphere.

We appreciate their creative menu, with unique options that you can't find anywhere else. We usually go before 9am on a Saturday, when they aren't as busy. And our usual server, Makel, is always on top of everything, even if he is the only one serving tables at that time. We rotate between our favorites - 1. I like their quiches, breakfast enchiladas, and the two-egg plate. 2. My husband likes their Ranchero Scramble, breakfast enchiladas, and breakfast burrito. I'm usually disappointed with how restaurants cook scrambled eggs with cheese, but the chef at Neighborhood Cafe knows how to do it right. The eggs are never overcooked, and the cheese is always melted throughout. He sets the standard for how scrambled eggs should be made! I'll often rotate sides, but lately I've been having a half avocado with the eggs. The avocado is ALWAYS fresh and never brown. Other times, I'll get a salad or fruit. I appreciate that they have so many side options. If they have a quiche that I like (no asiago or goat cheese for me), I'll have the quiche entree. They serve that dish with two sides, and I always get the salad and fruit. Their dressings are homemade, and are so good! My husband's current favorite is the Ranchero Scramble. He adds their homemade red chili sauce (the one they serve on top of the breakfast burrito), and we both use it. It's amazing on the scrambled eggs, too! Their portions are large, their coffee is good and strong, and service is always so fast. We love Neighborhood Cafe!

Crack of Dawn is my favorite brunch spot in all of Concord, and this visit reminded me exactly why!…read more A family business spanning generations, Black-owned and woman-owned? You already know Auntie D loves putting her dollars behind the sisters. But let's be clear: the food earns every bit of this praise. I have yet to leave disappointed. My chicken-fried chicken and French toast were absolutely worth the drive. My daughter had pancakes and chicken-fried chicken, and those scrambled eggs? Light, fluffy, and deserving of their own little round of applause. Mama thoroughly enjoyed her lunch and brought leftovers home. Took a quick nap, woke up, and finished them off. That to-go box never stood a chance. ...i Crack myself up.  Now, let's discuss these FRIED PICKLES. Light, crispy, airy, with that just-right dill tang. You get a good pickle inside a lovely crisp coating. And the ranch! Full of fresh, herbaceous flavor and on the thinner side, which I actually enjoy--it works beautifully on the salad and with those pickles. I don't need my ranch standing at attention; I need it tasting good! Crack of Dawn keeps giving me a reason to make that drive. Good food, a family business I'm happy to support, and three generations at our table leaving satisfied. Five out of five fried pickles from Auntie D! C'est si bon!

A must stop for both dinner and Southern breakfast enthusiasts…read more On my way home from Charlotte, I used Yelp to find me a classic diner to start my day off right. I choose the Crack of Dawn Diner in Concord. I am so glad I did. Crack of Dawn Diner is the real thing--a local Concord breakfast-and-lunch spot serving traditional Southern fare at reasonable prices. The menu caters to local tastes, the dining room is filled with regulars, and the atmosphere is comfortable rather than trendy. Parking is somewhat limited. The private lot surrounding the restaurant was fully used so I parked in the lot next door that had signs that said private property, but it looked like other patrons were parking there also so I took the chance. As it turns out, it was safe to park there. The entrance is very welcoming, as well as the staff. Amanda was my very efficient and nice waitress. There is great teamwork here, and Amanda was well supported by, I believe, the owner who ran my food out and talked a bit with me. The menu is fascinating. A distinctly North Carolina menu. Several things jumped out: * Breakfast special for $6.59 weekdays * Breakfast plates mostly under $12 * Grits included as a side option * Livermush available * City ham and country ham both offered * Pork chops available for breakfast I ordered the country-fried steak with white gravy (essentially chicken-fried steak), along with two sunny-side-up eggs, perfectly prepared grits, a large buttermilk biscuit, and a delicious diner coffee. The restaurant occupies a stand-alone building with a warm, "come on in and rest a spell" atmosphere. Inside, you'll find counter seating, an open kitchen, and tables throughout the dining room. I chose a seat by the window overlooking the parking area. This was a great breakfast, that was reasonably priced, in a great atmosphere, with very nice people. It stuck to both my mind and ribs all day long. After breakfast, I continued on to downtown Concord and spent some time exploring one of North Carolina's most charming revitalized downtown districts. The breakfast was the perfect start to the morning. Crack of Dawn Diner has earned a spot on my repeat list whenever my travels take me through the Charlotte-Concord area.

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.

BFF wanted to go here because he saw vegan omelette via social media…read more 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.
