I was in the area running an errand early Saturday morning. I searched for breakfast near by and…read moreSunshine came up first. Checked a few reviews and it seemed like a good spot. Walked in, we were seated immediately. The inside has country decor which was cute. It seemed a little outdated and could use a deep cleaning. The coffee cups had dents around the edges. Looked as if they were teeth chips. Yikes. Our server was awesome, friendly , smiling and very helpful. There was a lot of foot traffic of people in and out dining in and to go orders. It took a little while for our food to come out but not a big deal. There was absolutely no flavor or seasoning in any of the food. The food presentation was nice, but everything was bland, tasteless. Even adding salt did not help. For me, its a hard pass on returning. When we checked out, I noticed that their health score was a 90. We didnt notice that before hand and would have passed. Customer service gets 5 stars alone.

I ordered the 3 eggs over medium with bacon and hashbrowns. The eggs were almost overcooked but still good. Bacon was cooked perfectly, nice and crispy. The hash browns had a funny taste which I think was from the oil they use. My husband had 3 eggs over medium with two large pieces of liver mush and breakfast potatoes. He loved all of it.

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.

The food comes out of the kitchen picture perfect and delicious. I have never eaten anything I haven't loved!!! The only drawback is that they stay busy but we go into it knowing even if we have to wait it's gonna be amazing when we sit down. 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.

Even with that they got us a corner table so I could hear being that I'm hard of hearing. I got the shrimp and grits, which were very good. I'll give them a B+ a little spicier than usual, but it wasn't a sausage. It was the sauce, not bad, but if you are spice and verse, it might be enough to make a difference. My girlfriend was eating simple, chicken, and broccoli, which was actually was extremely well cooked and flavorful. Great experience we will definitely be back

One suggestion is to make sure you hear all of the order so as to not make a mistake. I was served pork and not the roasted chicken dinner. For someone who doesn't eat pork that was disheartening. But thankfully Chase understood and apologized and took care of that portion of the bill. I'm not sure when we will be back.

Went for brunch with family on a busy Sunday morning. There was about a 20-minute wait, which was…read moretotally expected given how popular this spot is. Once seated, the service was friendly and attentive. The food did not disappoint! Generous portions, fresh ingredients, and flavorful breakfast classics. The omelets and French toast were standout dishes, cooked just right and filling for the whole family. Drinks were refilled promptly, and everything came out hot and well-presented. The atmosphere was lively and cozy, perfect for a weekend brunch. The only minor downside was the wait, but it felt worth it for the overall experience. Overall: 4/5, great spot for a family brunch with hearty food and a welcoming vibe.

It took about 20 minutes for two meals and a couple extra sides, which is not too bad since I'd ordered when I walked in. Everything was wrapped and still warm by the time I made it home and it was all under $40. Overall, the food taste like a home cooked breakfast - not a lot of razzle dazzle to it but the affordability and good service (even with providing a takeout order) makes this place worth it, imo. I'd give this place another try and I plan to go sit in to enjoy breakfast and atmosphere at some point, so I'll remember to not be greedy and take pictures (lol). #SupportLocal

Had such an amazing time at another one of their locations that I decided to try this one out for a…read moremuch needed hearty breakfast. It's cold out and I wanted something warm. 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.
