    Two scrambled eggs with a side of berries and cinnamon toast
    Jessica H.

    Came back on our latest trip to Charlotte and found that the menu had been updated and everything we wished from our 2018 visit had come true! My husband was able to get iced cold brew coffee. I got oatmeal and yogurt and a side of turkey sausage- all my favorites to start my day. The service was great! Very friendly and prompt. We sat upstairs to the ambiance was sunny and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

    Famous Toastery Bowl

    Good food, just potatoes lacked flavor and there wasn't much ambiance inside, lacking some decor. The water tasted weird, like old. The staff was really nice though!

    This was recommended to me by the hotel staff and OMG I'm so glad I listened. I got there around 930, was sat right away. I ordered the Toastery Bowl with 1 pumpkin pancake. DELICIOUS!!!! I forgot to take a picture until after I was done, it was outstanding and I had enough food for breakfast the next day. Katelyn was my server and she was quick and attentive! When I'm in town, I'll be back!!!

    Service was very slow staff had no sense of urgency Food was brought out all different times and cold, the hottest thing was the syrup Cups had lipstick on them The google location is wrong The phone number is disconnected

    They said I could have breakfast and lunch at the same time so I did!

    This is a small place where you can order breakfast or lunch at any time. I ordered breakfast potatoes and mac and cheese simply because it was around 10am and I had the option. The breakfast potatoes were absolutely delicious. Mac and cheese was decent. There were 2 servers, both shared all of the tables. Both were friendly. Food is cooked in a downstairs kitchen and brought upstairs. I would definitely recommend getting the breakfast potatoes no matter what you order.

    Stuffed French Toast side and Classic Benedict
    Brittney S.

    Stopped by for brunch and tried the Cali Benedict with a side of stuffed French toast. The French toast was pretty decent--definitely a good mix of flavors, a little sweet, a little rich, and overall a nice treat on the side. The Classic Benedict was a solid savory option--flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The potatoes were a nice bonus, with a light crisp that added great texture. I also had the fresh-squeezed orange juice, which was a really nice touch--bright, refreshing, and paired well with the meal. Overall, a good spot for a balanced brunch with both sweet and savory options that hit the spot.

    Omelette and home fries
    Dale M.

    The food and atmosphere was great it's just they only had one bathroom for the whole spot so people were crowding next to people trying to eat while waiting for the bathroom.

    Breakfast and drinks
    Joe L.

    Came here on a Monday morning for breakfast. 5 of us. We waited 15 minutes to get a seat. When we finally got our seats, we already knew our orders from waiting so long. Drink orders went in and asked if we could put our food order also. After putting the whole order in, food came out first in about 5 minutes. My omelette was tasty and good, but my breakfast potatoes were really cold and under cooked. Drinks never came until we were finished with food! Then complained and still took a while. We will not be back. Plenty of other places. The manager did comp our whole meal. That was amazing and very appreciated

    Huevos Rancheros w/ chorizo ($16) + coffee ($4).
    David L.

    Found this convenient location in the center of uptown Charlotte, where there seem to be few breakfast options. The upstairs is a cute little spot, but don't get too attached to it, as they seat most customers down in the basement where the main dining area and kitchen is located. Service is fast, polite and attentive, and the menu offered plenty of breakfast/brunch options. I opted for the huevos rancheros w/ chorizo. Overall, I enjoyed this dish, but $16 for primarily black beans and two eggs seemed a little pricey. Especially because it could have used some toast to dip in the sauce, and coffee is another $4. For $20, I felt like I could have had breakfast in a nice hotel atmosphere rather than the windowless basement of Famous Toastery. However, the service is prompt, location close to many offices, and the food was good, so I returned a few days later and got the Classic Benedict w/ grits ($13) This was less successful. The Benedict was pretty basic and the grits were watery...not creamy, not cheesy, not flavorful. Even w/ the added cheddar ($1), the grits were runny. At least they offered me a refill of my coffee in a to-go cup this time, which was much appreciated. If you're in the area and looking for a quick sit-down breakfast to fill you up, Famous Toastery is a decent option for basic breakfast fare priced for the convenience of the uptown location.

    We almost missed this place because it looked like a simple cafeteria setup, but I'm so glad we stopped in. The food was absolutely wonderful--true Southern comfort done right--and the service from Angela was spectacular. I had the chicken sandwich, and my friend ordered the meatloaf; both were fantastic. The Brussels sprouts were so good we ordered an extra serving. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    Is there free parking?

    Hello Nat, We don’t validate parking but on weekends there should be free parking on the street.

    Does this location validate parking?

    I found it difficult to find parking because it's literally in the central part of uptown

    This diner was an awesome Yelp choice. Old school look with amazing service and food…read more My eggs were fluffy as well as my pancakes. The chicken wings were huge, fried just right and juicy. Kudos to the chef. Only negative is they offer a whipped spread instead of real butter. Delicious pancakes deserve good butter. I asked for real butter and all they had was honey butter. Do not sleep on asking for it. While it still spread, the honey makes it much better.

    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.

    I didn't take pictures on this trip, but while I like the chill vibe at the Mooresville location…read morebetter, this was by far the best Duckworth's Pizza I have had. Great bar pizza! That also includes the Huntersville location, which I would put third (but not bad) of the three I have visited. Another plus... They had a Bold Rock Cider in a bottle, which I had never had before. Figured I'd give it a whirl. I'm glad I whirled because it was excellent. If I didn't try it, I never would have known. The service here was excellent as well. If there is one negative, it's a small bathroom that cannot accommodate that many people at peak times. Overall, still recommended.

    Should be ZERO stars…read more Stopped in Duckworth's for dinner tonight, sat at the bar, and ordered the chicken tenders appetizer with fries, blue cheese, green onions, and buffalo sauce. Then I waited....for over 30-minutes for my food. After being told a few times that it would be right up, it finally arrived. Temperature of the chicken was barely luke warm and the fries were cold. Bartender's response, "it was sitting under the heat lamp." I asked for my meal to be refired and I waited another 30+ minutes. Still no food. I eventually asked to tab out and to speak to the manager. Apparently, the manager was "too busy" helping out in the kitchen trying to push food to come out and talk with me. And with his help they still couldn't run an efficient kitchen. The bar and downstairs dining area was barely occupied and I learned that there is a comedy club upstairs so apparently they were working on those tickets while forgetting about other patrons. First, chicken tenders and fries is not a hard dish to make. Second, a customer compliant and a refire request should be expedited. I learned two things - I will never visit Duckworth's ever again and I will tell anyone looking for a place to eat in Downtown Charlotte to steer clear of Duckworth's.

    Went here on a Wednesday night with five of my coworkers for trivia, and it was a great time…read moreoverall. The place was clean and had a really fun, lively vibe without feeling overwhelming. The staff stood out, both our waitress and the other waiters were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. We ordered a mix of food for the table: tacos, fried pickles, steak and fries, cauliflower, and a burger. The highlights for us were definitely the fried pickles and the cauliflower--both were good and something I'd come back for. Everything else was just alright, hence the reason I deducted a star. We also loved that there was a pool table it added a lot to the experience but I do wish it was free instead of $2 a game. Still, not a dealbreaker. Overall, it's a great spot with a fun atmosphere, good food, and attentive service. Definitely worth checking out, especially for trivia night.

    After more than five visits here just in the past month, I figured it was time to make a review…read more Upon entrance, the place has incredible spacing and furniture which feels so inviting. Finding table space earlier in the evening has not been an issue yet for us. The staff is usually pretty welcoming and will immediately try and get some drinks in your hand. If you're interested in ordering food, they have a very solid menu that balances typical pub with a splash of elegance. The Chicken Sandwich is a perfect evening meal to pair with a night out. It has the typical sandwich ingredients but everything is of decent quality. It is not a heavy meal yet it delivers a perfect amount of satiation to begin a night out. The Fried Pickles prepared with a perfect ratio of pickle to batter and perfect for sharing amongst friends. Easily my favorite thing about the place is the pool tables. There is one inside and one outside on the patio. Shooting pool throughout the night and having the lively atmosphere makes for such a wonderful time. We have seemed to have good luck with getting a table but other times we have had to wait. There's a natural center of gravity which keeps myself and the group returning to the daily. Pool tables, never too crowded, solid outdoor areas, and quality food seldom found at bars. I will be coming back in the future and definitely recommend stopping by anybody looking for a calm luh night out.
