Large menu. If you can't find something to eat here, your not hungry. The food is good. The death by chocolate is huge. It's definitely enough for 2 people. The service was excellent. Nia was wonderful. She sold me on the desert. Excellent recommendation.
The only problem with Midnight Diner is that it isn’t where I live. We stopped there for breakfast this morning and it was an 100/10 experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is equal parts retro, homey and welcoming. Our server Nacaska was an angel… she was so kind with the best vibes, made great recommendations on the menu and …
After a night of meeting up with family, we walked to Midnight Diner for a quick bite. I was staying at the Moxy which is right next to the restaurant. There was a small wait to get in, but the food made it all worth it.
My wife and I were staying one night in Charlotte at the AC Marriott and needed a breakfast place in the morning. The Midnight Diner was a short walk from our hotel. We were immediately seated upon arrival on a Thursday morning. I ordered the Greek Omelette, a side of fruit, and Wheat Toast. I was hoping for some Sourdough, …
First visit today and we had breakfast for dinner. One of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time. The western omelette was perfectly cooked with plenty of ham and cheese. The homemade biscuit was served piping hot. The star of the meal was the grits. They were creamy and a great portion came with my meal.
We took a step back into the 50s. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. We got the best food ever.

The Philly cheesesteak was delicious, their fries were seasoned well,one of our group members ordered fish and said that it was …

Went here Sunday a little after 8:30 pm for dinner. No wait time and immediately had our orders taken upon sitting down. Staff were all friendly. Loved the retro decor and setup inside.
Everything was great, I have no complaints. Usually restaurant mac and cheese isn’t good, but this one was great. I love sides and had the mac and cheese and collard greens, and both were really good.
