    Updated menu as of 4/2/24.

    Always excellent service, food, and staff. A wide variety of menu options and stays busy from breakfast to supper.

    Nice Cheeseburger - great taste.

    Nice little meat & 2 diner on the northern edge of Asheboro serving all 3 meals, 6 days a week. They have a daily special or 2, standard menu items like: Chicken Livers, Country Style Steak, Salmon Patties, Country Ham, Grilled Chicken, and Smothered Chicken - runs $5. 29 to $6.99 with 2 veggies and bread. Veggies are the usual suspects. Also usual sandwiches, fried seafood plates ($8 or $9), Spaghetti, and a bowl of Pintos with onions & hushpuppies for $3.49 - really nice. Plates are generally good - Like the Chicken Livers & CS Steak, especially. Fried seafood is a little inconsistent, but when it is good, it is good. Chili dog is not really good - thin chili with a somewhat strange taste, and the onions can be very strong (costs $1,69). Cheeseburger is excellent, great flavor, and priced righat $2.79. Nothing fancy here, food or decor, but solid place with good, friendly service, very reasonably priced. Give it a shot.

    Food is great and staff are friendly and welcoming! It's a little loud when the place is full but worth the noise.

    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.

    Review for Midnight Diner…read more classic, retro-style diner--the kind with a counter, cozy booths, and a nostalgic vibe. The only thing missing is a waitress calling you "hon," and honestly, that might be part of the charm. I was craving a West Coast favorite--chicken fried steak--which I quickly learned is called country fried steak here in the South. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner... it didn't matter. I wanted comfort food, and this place delivered. I ordered takeout and picked it up without any hassle. They have their own private parking lot, which is a huge plus, especially for an Uptown location. It's situated right across from the Hyatt Regency and along the light rail, so I can imagine it gets very busy--particularly if you're heading to or leaving the Spectrum Center. This is exactly the kind of spot where you grab a solid meal to soak up whatever you've been celebrating. And the food? Generous. Very generous. My order included: * Country fried steak with gravy * Mashed potatoes * Pancakes * And, because curiosity got the best of me, their coconut French toast That coconut French toast was the wildcard--and it did not disappoint. Sweet, indulgent, and definitely a treat. Between that and the rest of the meal, it was a lot of food, but I was very happy. The price point is reasonable, the service was fast, and the whole experience felt easy and reliable--exactly what you want from a diner. Next time, I'd like to sit inside and enjoy the full experience, because the atmosphere looks like part of the fun. As someone still exploring Charlotte as a foodie after relocating from the West Coast, it's always nice to find places that deliver those nostalgic comfort-food moments--and this one absolutely did. Bottom line: Great comfort food, generous portions, easy parking, and a classic diner vibe. A solid go-to spot in Uptown, especially when you're hungry and want something satisfying.
