The energy was cool and the staff were super friendly and welcoming, which I always appreciate when I'm somewhere new. Now, let's talk about the food. I wanted to love it, but it just wasn't giving what it needed to give. I had the wings, fries, and a drink and all of it was just ... okay. Not terrible, but definitely not memorable either. You ever eat something and just know it could've hit harder? That was me. That said, I wouldn't write it off completely. If I had more time in town I'd definitely swing back through and give something else on the menu a shot. I did see that they do karaoke on the weekends and that might be the real selling point; fun, casual, and a chance to see the locals cut loose. I would've went during my last visit if I didn't have laryingitis. Haha Overall, it's a decent little spot with potential. Worth checking out if you're in the area but manage your expectations on the food and drinks.

That's the shining star for my visit…read more It was busy on a Monday night, mostly because it seems few restaurants other than fast food are open on Monday nights in town. Nevertheless, I would have never considered that the level of business would cause our food to come 2 HOURS (no exaggeration) after ordering. Thankfully my party was staying at the hotel and we had a lot to talk about. It seemed like the kitchen could only make two plates at a time, and there were long pauses between servers moving food. For my table, finally two burgers appeared. It took another 10 minutes for the third entrée to appear, with other tables' food going out in between. Not a good look. Both people who ordered burgers at my table ordered them medium and both came out well done. My colleague didn't finish his. I ate mine, but it was so dry that I had to drench it in ketchup to get it down. On the bonus side, I jokingly suggested to our server that we should get a free round of drinks for our wait, which she surprised us after our food delivery with that free round, which was super nice; thus the comments that service was great. Just the food and kitchen needed major help.

Traveling down Hwy 74 often, I am always looking for non-fast food restaurants. I love local diners…read moreand usually my first impression is how full the parking lot is. This restaurant must be the only game in this area because there were lots of locals dining but I've definitely had better. The first cool thing is that each table has a bowl of peanuts in the shell. Unfortunately they were stale. We then perused the menu. I chose fried chicken - dark meat with fried squash and green beans. "Sorry, we're out of fried chicken and fried squash." Ok... So my friend and I ordered pintos, green beans, turnip greens and fried okra with cornbread. Our plates came quickly and lying on top of the little bowls of vegetables was a pancake. I thought this was interesting. But where was the cornbread? Well, turns out the pancake was the cornbread. They were so greasy that we took napkins and blotted them to get out some of the grease. They tasted ok and we were hungry - you do what you have to do. The vegetables were nothing spectacular but acceptable. I will say that The Old Store was clean and had a lot of interesting antique signs and other memorabilia scattered around. The service was good. Will I return? Probably not. I'll stop at Mamie's in Laurel Hill or continue on to Laurenburg. Cash Only.

I had a club sandwich with crinkle fries and my wife enjoyed a great cheeseburger. Service was very friendly and outstanding!

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]

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.

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.
