Finally made it to midnight diner! There was no line when we arrived around 9:15pm on a Saturday but when the hornets game ended the line grew to about 50 people. It's pretty lively inside and the food comes out pretty quickly. The wait staff was extremely pleasant and efficient. The food was great! Tasted just like a good home cooked meal. The breakfast was a nice treat for dinner instead of the typical dinner food.

After a late night Uptown Charlotte, Midtown dinner is the perfect ending to an eventful night. I thought the diner has a large selection of breakfast inspired foods, I chose the chicken tenders and fries. It didn't disappoint. I had buffalo dipping sauce on the side. Those who joined me ordered pancakes with sausage, shrimp and grits, eggs and chicken wings. Let's just say we ended the night with a table full of happy plates. I tasted some of the grits and they were creamy and delicious.

Fun place to go eat especially at the late hours. We were in town visiting. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful. Provided a good experience for us. A lot of details on our orders were missing but the food was still good. We were there around 1 am so we were cutting them some slack. Really friendly staff and good food for after midnight.

Midnight has been a staple in Charlotte since I can remember. It does get packed and the service can get a bit slow but baby that food never lacks! It's that old diner feel with the comfy booths and the swivel bar stools that has been the same since forever! But back to the food. A couple weeks ago Ai went back after a hiatus - just lots of work and travel- and got fried chicken with eggs and grits. IDK WHO WAS COOKING THAT DAY BUT THEY NEED A RAISE! My chip was perfectly fried and tender - simply amazing! My grits were thick, creamy, and perfectly mixed like grandmas, and the biscuit was a buttery pillow of incredible goodness!!!!!!! Everything was so amazing!!!!!!!! If you haven't been (or haven't been back) the time is now. Warm up to a cup of truck driver coffee, fried chicken, and grits - the best in the city!

The burger was actually pretty good! There's a lot of seating and the Christmas decor was up. I also got a side of onion rings which were crispy but just a little bit too salty for my liking. Fast and friendly service as well.

Hands down, the best grits in Charlotte! The food here is simple yet absolutely amazing. I'm so grateful that this location is back open..it's truly a must-visit any time of day

This diner looks like it is right out of the 1950's with the red and black decor and red neon lights. So adorable! We split the scrumptious fried chicken, green beans, Mac and cheese as well as the spaghetti. They were both delicious! The loaded fries as an appetizer were good, but the firecracker shrimp was delicious! It had just the right of sauce and spice. The service was pretty speedy given that the place was super packed, but no wait.
