Came here for the 1st time. Mother's day brunch! We arrived around 1045am. Of course it was packed…read more They didnt take formal reservations to guarantee seating at a certain time, but you could call ahead and place your name on a list to get seated ahead of the crowd once you arrived. My daughter called and when we arrived, we were lucky and was seated right away as a table was coming open. Small inside footprint but cozy with a full bar. Also outdoor patio seating. The hostess, our waitress and the walk around staff refilling water was top tier. Excellent customer service. Our waitress wasbbomb, I hate i forgot her name. Even though the place was packed she tooknour order in a timely manner, and kept checking on us be9fre we got our food,.kept us informed that the kitchen was busy but she on it. Allnifnkur food was delicious. My daughter had chicken and Belgium waffles, and I had the shrimp amd grits, my mom had a breast platter. All great choices. Give them a try!

This must be a go to spot for locals but I am not impressed…read more The setup is cute and the staff is friendly but let me get into the real... the food. If you don't eat pork skip this place! Seriously. Everything has pork. I got a handheld egg sandwich with tomato and cheese on a croissant with their potatoes. Basic sandwich, dry and the cheese & tomato were an extra charge. The potatoes were hard like they're old. The mimosa was good, regular sparkling with pineapple juice. And their tip machine doubles the recommended amount so for my $9 mimosa it generates a +$3 tip at 18 % but it should have been under $2. Just wanted to point that out too. I won't be back.

#88 Philly Cheesesteak, added pepper jelly relish and jalapeños for an extra kick of heat…read more This sandwich is the best darn thing I've eaten in a while! The meat-to-cheese was on point and the onions were grilled to perfection! I travel for work, so I've been blessed to have had the chance to try iconic meals from all over the world. This sandwich was better than any other Philly I've ever had (even over the ones I've had from Philadelphia)! It was juicy, flavorful, and I didn't want it to end! If this place is far for you, just go. You will not regret making the trek.

Both times I've gotten the San Juan Tripleta and the Ultimate eaten half of each in the store and taken the other two halves home for later. The ingredients are fresh and tasty and the bread an excellent blend of crispy/chewy. I will definitely be back and am committed to trying two different sandwiches on the next visit!

Let's Jim into this Flavorful, savory, satisfying food! I had the Crawfish & Alligator Cheesecake!…read moreIt was so delicious! I was tinch nervous when I saw it juicy, (because of don't eat wet bread) but it was soooo good and buttery-ish, with a creamy Cajun sauce. I also had charbroiled oysters for the first time, not my favorite, but edible and full of flavor! (texture thing) I also had a piece of Fried Flounder and the Shrimp & Grits. Everything was so full of flavor. Had the Tropical Moon, the Pina Colada Mimosa and the Cherry Lemon Sun drop with Jim Beam (no vodka), Margarita Mimosa... sooo good! Izzie was my waitress extraordinaire for the time, along with some of her friendly colleagues! Top notch! I will definitely be back! The atmosphere was light and lively at the same time!

Went here for dinner and I was not pleased at all with the service, the food, or the atmosphere…read more Paid $56 for a tiny plate of shrimp and grits and a poor excuse for a shrimp boil. $19 for a tiny piece of corn and a quart of a potato isn't exactly a great deal We were ignored by our male waiter and our $4 teas were not even offered refills. Both meals were supposed to come with potatos and Cole slaw and when my wife asked about it we were offered to go boxes for them and they only brought us one serving instead of both for both meals. Went into the men's bathroom it was absolutely disgusting and full of black mold in the vents. The tempature inside was hot and humid and very uncomfortable. We will not be recommending this place to anyone else.

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.

If you like bland and straight from the chef store ordering, this is the place for you. I ordered a…read morelazy nacho salad thinking it would be like a taco salad, well it was canned unseasoned corn, 8 overly fried tortilla chips, dry preshredded cheese, thick cut lettuce but the white parts, and chili which was alright but could have also been from a can. I also ordered a side of green beans, they were also straight from the can. I also received a sweet tea, which was good but also how do you mess that up? And the kicker, $18 for that... should have stayed home. I was really hopeful for this place but after trying it twice and it was just as bland, I unfortunately will not be back.

We pulled into the parking lot and Jonathan came to the car and took our order on his iPad! Now, mind you, I'm not a big meat eater or a fan of TRH, but this was the first time that I really enjoyed my food! We both ordered the Fort Worth ribeye steak dinners. I had the 12oz with fries and mushrooms, and my gf had the 14oz with a salad and baked potato! Both orders ca.e with their rolls and the honey butter! We sat there and waited for our order to be prepared! About 10 to 20 minutes later, our order was delivered to our car! The runner asked us to check the order to make sure it was correct! It looked and smelled amazing! OMG, it was the best boneless ribeye steak I've ever had! We both agreed that we have been missing out by ordering the bone-in! From now on, we are boneless all day! Thank you Jonathan for your Outstanding Customer Service and getting out order right! #texasroadhouse #frworthribeyesteak #bonelessribeye

Our 50th anniversary was ruined here last week. Wife and I chose this restaurant to celebrate by…read moresharing a BBQ Chicken and Ribs combo. Her chicken was delivered dry as a bone with no juicy meat. She should have sent it back but didn't. My side of ribs was delayed because the kitchen put bbq sauce on them and I requested a dry rub. 15 minutes later, the I was served the driest ribs I've ever tried to eat. I tried one bone and couldn't get the fork into the meat. It was over cooked and dry as leather. What is sad: The server noticed it was dry but served it anyway. Poor choice of restaurant to celebrate 50 years of marriage. Tip: If you are celebrating anything, try another steakhouse. There are plenty of others in Concord that will cook the food properly.
