I stopped into Union Street Cafe for an early lunch on a…read moreTuesday afternoon. There were a few other tables occupied, but I was able to seat myself. It wasn't long before my server was over with a bottle of water and a glass full of ice. The reason I came here was because there was a salad listed on the menu that just sounded very refreshing for the hot summer afternoon. I ordered the chop salad with grilled chicken and it was out to me, perfectly plated, in about 5 minutes. The salad was delicious and the chicken was flavorful and hot. The restaurant is small and bright with tons of natural lighting. The bathroom is small, unisex, kind of dark and dim, and a little dingy. My server wasn't the most friendly and she didn't come back to my table after she dropped off the food. I had to go up to the front to ask for a side of dressing. I'd still recommend the restaurant and go back hoping for a different server.

I ordered the Five and Dime Biscuit with the Peach Berry Lemonade. The biscuit comes with a chicken strip, bacon, egg (cooked how you want it), and either sausage(what I got) or mushroom gravy. Is it messy? Yes. Is it good though? Yes! The peach berry lemonade was a definite star for me because it didn't have actual berries at the bottom and it wasn't an overwhelming flavor from both the peach and berry. We also got the chicken and waffles and they were great as well. The churro latte was fine, it wasn't my favorite, but it was still good for what it was. All still a really good breakfast place to stop by whether you are in a rush or you want to sit down and converse.

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.

Apparently their specialty coffee is only served iced, so the only option is regular brew. I opted out since I can do that at home. I really enjoyed the Morning Meditation fresh squeezed juice during my last visit but this location was out of ingredients and I was unable to get it. Water it is. For my meal I ordered the Biscuits & Gravy with eggs. I love how the gravy is made with turkey sausage. As a non pork eater I struggle to find places that serve non pork gravy and was so glad they had turkey sausage based gravy that I could devour. It comes with their seasoned potatoes but based on the reviews I decided to swap for grits. The biscuits & gravy were my favorite part of the meal. I wish it came with 2 instead of a side. I got my eggs scrambled. It was ok, typical container eggs. Next time I'll try fried hard eggs so I can have a real egg. The grits... they gave me the hard part that's usually found stuck to the bottom of the pan. Some parts were regular after I scraped the hard parts out. No flavor, I definitely needed to add salt & pepper. I'll be back for sure but will probably try to get the biscuits & gravy w/o a side.

She filled our coffee mugs, only halfway, which was great since they did get cool. But since we had the coffee carafe on the table, it was fine. I asked for my eggs benedict, to be poached medium.

I forgot to take a picture of my husband's skillet breakfast but he enjoyed it as well although some of the potatoes were not cooked all the way.

The Copperfield location is pretty big and has great bar seating, and in warmer months they have patio seating. The hwy 29 location is much smaller but also has great food. 5/5 without question.
