    Greek omelette
    Kendra H.

    Fresh breakfast! Not greasy, just delicious. We had Greek omelette and French toast with berries. Simple but good! Everyone was very friendly and attentive. I recommend this place!

    This classic diner is located in a strip mall, but don't underestimate them. We came for breakfast on a late Sunday morning. The amazing service started the moment we walked in. The hostess saw us crossing the street with our kids and already had a table ready for us. We have small kids and I was so glad that she sat us in a booth towards the back. The kids were able to be themselves (y'all know what I mean lol) and they didn't bother anyone. They have booster seats and high chairs available for the kiddos. They have a great variety of traditional diner options, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and kids items. I love a classic breakfast so I tried their French toast with scrambled eggs, sausage links, and cinnamon apples. I also got cheesy grits for the kiddos. The food came out pretty quickly and tasted great. Hey Toddler Parents: my kids ATE! No crumbs left!! Each and every staff member was very helpful, friendly, and understanding during our entire visit. I'm very grateful for their kindness. My only recommendation is to add a changing table in the restrooms. If you can't tell, I loved our visit to Park 51. We'll definitely be back.

    Mediterranean omelet with potatoes and biscuit

    We wanted a true diner experience as I wanted to go out for breakfast and it needed to be pretty simple since we had our kids. This place checked all those boxes. The staff was friendly and sat us near the back so the kids could be kids. I got the Mediterranean omelet with home potatoes and a biscuit. Nothing fancy, but good.

    This is a Belgian Waffle so good

    My service and breakfast was great. Delivery times and food accurately was splendid with taste and great syrup but perhaps ordering more syrup would help other than missing what you have with there's with could be an extra cost.

    A friend found this place as we were looking for a restaurant to get food on Sunday that did not have a long wait time. We were able to be seated immediately. I noticed there were not a lot of photos online of the food so I wasn't sure what to order. As the tables around me food came out I knew that we chose a good spot. Being a transplant to the Carolina's my friend recommended I try the liver mush it's a Southern/ North Carolina specialty. I will say although the look of it isn't very appealing it actually taste pretty good. I just ordered a plain waffle with eggs and bacon with a side of liver mush. My friend ordered grits, potatoes and turkey sausage. The inside of the restaurant itself is small. The service was quick. The food came out rather quickly as well.

    Stopped by Park 51 Café and had a really good experience! Service: Friendly staff that made the visit comfortable. They were very attentive , which was nice for a casual diner setting. Food: The menu is what you'd expect from a diner, but everything we tried was tasty. The highlight, though, was definitely the fried cheesecake - it was wonderful! For the price, it exceeded expectations. Value: Really good for what you pay. It's not a fancy place, but the quality of the food, especially the desserts, is more than worth it. Overall, Park 51 Café is a solid choice for a casual meal. It's nothing extravagant, but it's a cozy spot with some surprisingly good finds. Will be back for that fried cheesecake!

    This place is quaint and cute. It reminds me of NYC a little corner intimate diner, it truly takes you back. It's small but fits groups. The prices are good. Unfortunately I found the food a bit blend. Orange juice is store bought, charged price as if it's fresh....over $3 dollars ? It just doesn't make sense to me. I had the ham and cheese omelette and there wasn't enough cheese, it arrived warm not hot .... Same for my daughters scrambled and bacon. I can't speak for my husband's food only that he remarked he would only come back if he really couldn't get to our favorite near by diners for breakfast... there was no salt on anything which could explain why so many elderlies go there.... Not a judgment only notating as my mom likes places that have healthier foods. The menu is very full and has many options. Maybe they have other menu items that are their specialty and taste better than what we ordered. Pancake also not remarkable. The place is clean and the service of very nice so in this sense I recommend.

    Stopped in for breakfast this morning and had an excellent meal. Classic diner food here on the menu, I stuck to the simple stuff and they did a fine job. Mushroom omelet with cheddar cheese. Served with home fries and toast, it was done just right. Plenty of coffee and they have a wifi as well. [Review 9960 overall, 1540 of 2018.]

    This lovely café that offers home cooked meals called "Park 51 Cafe" is to die for, it is a dive restaurant right next to black lion off Park Road. We have been coming here weekly now to get our fix of the most delicious Reuben sandwich you will ever find! My kids get their fries with the homemade ranch to dip it in and I end up eating all of it! Park 51 café is now being run by brand new owners therefore it is completely different than the old restaurant that used to be here. It is cozy warm and even has breakfast not to mention the price is right! Park 51 café is for absolutely everyone, families friends children etc.

    I highly recommend!…read more From the food, the service and the ambience everything was a wonderful experience! We visited Saturday during brunch hour with a large party. So first and foremost, let's talk about the process of this eatery, you are expected to come in and wait in line grab a menu and then order at the counter. Once you order your food you will get a number to go with your meal then you will choose your seating area for larger parties, the staff will assist and support you with seating. Patrons are not following this process and they are saving tables as they enter which is extending the wait time in line. I ordered the chicken and red velvet waffle, and it was delicious! The chicken was fried perfectly and the cream cheese drizzle paired perfect with the velvet waffle! I didn't even use syrup. I ordered a cup of Parmesan grits on the side. I recommend that you try them. All paired with a pineapple mimosa. I am looking forward to returning. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

    I'm always down for a good brunch, and this spot was the perfect way to wrap up our last morning in…read moreCharlotte. The Wafflery is a fast-casual breakfast spot with a surprisingly extensive menu--think waffles, biscuits, and plenty of other brunch favorites. It took me a minute to decide because everything sounded so good! Everything we ordered was flavorful and hit the spot. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to taste. They have two locations, and we visited the Rozzelles Ferry location, which was a great choice because there was more parking available. Just a heads up--both locations get pretty busy on weekends, but the line moves quickly, so the wait isn't too bad. If you're visiting Charlotte or just looking for a solid brunch option, this is definitely worth checking out
