    Huge Chefs Salad.

    Always good food and service. If you want a nice simple but good Chefs Salad check the out.

    Well I thought this place was unique. Had on the ceiling hoods from nascar sports car racers. And the service is that of typical southern charm. Now the food. I did the meatloaf with green beans and turnip greens. And that rod was amazing. Extremely flavorful and well worth the under $10 price tag. You can be root a tooten sure I'll be back to this nifty eatery Take a bottle of Tabasco if you want some though. They only have that Texas Peter.

    Such a cool old school place. Open at six instead of seven like most places near by. Lots of local regulars. Friendly and attentive service. About two miles from the speedway and the place is packed full with enough racing memorabilia to fill a museum. Got the country breakfast which consisted of two eggs, two gravy biscuits and bacon or sausage. Coffee was hot and refilled without having to ask. Simply a local gem.

    Meatloaf with Mashed potatoes and fried squash

    Great breakfast and lunch place. Not fancy, but very comfortable. Food is great. Love the veggie omelette. One of Tuesday's specials is meatloaf. Comes with 2 veggies. It's so tender you don't have to add anything to it. Everything I've had here is delicious. Staff is super friendly and fun to joke around with. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try.

    Stumbled upon this place while taking the bank deposit for my job, so made a mental note to go by after I left the bank. I had just missed the mad rush, but still was a nice crowd of folks and plenty folks came in after me so to me that's a good sign. I was greeted by a friendly lady at the front counter and was seated immediately. The menu says they serve breakfast until 12, but my waiter informed me they have switched to serving all day now, but once they run out of items for the day that's it, which I fully understand. I opted for lunch anyways and got the big Lou burger. It was quite tasty. Didn't take long for my food to come out either. And the food prices are just right for someone in a budget. Now that I know abt this place, I will certainly come back more often. Fair warning tho the parking lot is small and shared with all the businesses on the strip so parking can be a challenge if it's extremely busy.

    Stumbled on this hidden gem and I have been hooked since guys. When it comes to the Breakfast Special for $6, you really cannot beat the value and large portions. I have not ventured to many other items on the menu but I love local mom and pop establishments, ESPECIALLY for breakfast. You get pancakes, eggs, your choice of protein, and grits/hashbrowns/potatoes. I also add blueberries to my flapjacks because I'm a blueberry gal. Period. They start serving breakfast at 6am so typically the earlier I go the better as far as seating, etc. The ladies are always friendly and I see why they have so many regular patrons. If you're looking for an unpretentious local 'back at home' breakfast spot that packed with a flavorful menu and southern hospitality, you'll be at home here.

    Nice folks with good service but the food is nothing great and the setting is a bit dated. You can tell this is a NASCAR themed restaurant with all of the race car hoods and sides mounted to the ceiling and walls and after all, it;s about one mile from Charlotte Motor Speedway. Pictures of Dale Earnhardt Sr adorn the walls and tables as well. Problem is the carpet needs to be replaced or at least cleaned, the vinyl seats in the booth we sat at was badly cracked as were all of them. In general in needs a good facelift. The staff is outstanding and we never wanted for anything. Walking in with the signs on the outside I thought I was entering a typical greek diner and at one time, may have been the case but very Americanized now. I ordered a Steak Sandwich which had very little taste or texture to it. My potato salad side on the other hand was pretty good. My wife had a Philly Cheese Steak which she described as good but not to the point she would order it again. Maybe it was an off day but nothing great to recommend from our visit today.

    Open faced roast beef (Fridays) with green beans and DUH fried squash ( with ranch ) out of the shot. Soooooo good.

    Louis' is the best at what it does, good ol' meat and two. So good in fact that I compare every other similar establishment to Louis' and yet to find one that even comes close ( yeah I'm talking to you Sammy's, Showmars, Gardenia, Landmark, AJ's (gag) etc...). Im pretty sure my family has helped pay Louis' sons way through college the amount of times we have eaten here throughout the years. So why haven't I already written a glowing review?! Easy. I swore that I already had. Anyways, my crap memory aside... I seriously have not had a bad thing here but the standouts to me are the FRIED SQUASH (duh right?!). BEST. IN. THE. STATE. if not world. Don't forget to ask for a side of ranch to dip em' in. Get those thin golden beauties on the side of an open faced roast beef (fridays) or the grilled chicken tenders with onions and peppers over rice ( a lighter but no less yummy option, available all the time). Need help deciding on another side?! No worries, the green beans, collards, cabbage, pintos, mac n cheese...all awesome. And you can also get banana pudding as a side if you are feeling saucy (or sometimes I add it as a third, why not?) This cute little Nascar themed, family owned spot is only open until 3pm so you have to time your fried squash cravings right. I'm having one right now.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
