Ordered thru Uber eats 2 exact orders of sandwiches didn't realize they came w/potatoes would've been nice surprise but for some reason one was plain, 1 had peppers onions. This was confusing my other order was the pappy beautiful colorful potatoes with absolutely not a lick of flavor pretty and plain. I ordered white toast and they sent no butter. They did send plastic wear and catchup. Food was still warm, eggs were perfect bacon had a few undercooked pieces.

I barely write reviews to restaurants but I’m very disappointed in the food quality for what you pay for I highly don’t recommend this place I don’t like to bash or nothing on a restaurant but the food was just bad the chicken was partially raw i usually like my steak medium rare but my chicken always cooked. The mashed potatoes were mid hot like if they were microwaved top was hot bottom was cold. The “home made Mac and cheese “ looks just like pasta with Kraft cheese sauce on it. I think I would rather get food from the restaurant across. Like I said I’m not the type to bash on a restaurant but I’m very disappointed.

My sister and I came here for my bday breakfast. This is such a cute diner and the staff is friendly. Be prepared to ask questions because the menu is a bit confusing. I am a big breakfast person. I believe the testament to a good breakfast spot is how well-cooked and crispy their bacon is. This place failed!Note to cooks: BACON SHOULDN'T BE FATTY AND BORDERLINE RAW!!In addition to the bacon, I ordered the challah french toast, which was described as 1 large piece of toast that would fill you up. What I got was a 1 slice of texas toast. Very disappointing. I would like to try other things on the menu but if I go for breakfast again I will request my bacon to be cooked and order the pancakes which were the same size as the plate lol.
Friendly staff that makes you feel welcomed. The milkshakes were perfect and their vegan milkshakes taste great too. I will be back for more milkshakes.Vegetarian options: vegan bacon and meats and vegan milkshakesParking: They have their own parking lot which is niceKid-friendliness: Just a simple diner for anyone to come in and eat in. Friendly workers too

I rarely write reviews but Mattie's is such a unique place, I wish I had found out about it sooner. We live in South Charlotte & don't often visit this side of town but we were in this area for an event and happened to find this place afterwards.We are a family of three with myself being a vegetarian, my spouse being completely opposite and a second grader who is a picky eater so it's pretty rare to be able to go out together to a place which we all can enjoy! However, this place has truly made an effort to offer something for everyone. I ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich which was great and so was everything else that my family had. The service is friendly! We've been here a couple times since then & hope to return! If you haven't tried this place, you definitely should!Vegetarian options: Vegan Breakfast Sandwich, Veggie Burger, Vegan Pancakes, Vegan meatloaf sandwich, Quesadilla.
I have to say I've eaten there recently in the food has failed me the atmosphere it's okay but the food quality has fallen off the attitude is very arrogant we won't be
Stumbled upon this “Gem” of a place this weekend on Saturday – 20 January 2024; It was a cold morning, and this “New York Fat Boy” was foraging for an appropriate place to fill my belly. So, I took a chance – rolled my Orange Dice and drove my Orange Car over to this “Old School” – Box Car Diner with a tremendous amount of history behind it. Place is packed and bumping. Had to park in the “Overflow” lot next door which goes to show you what is going on. The intoxicating aroma of deliciousness and love simply will draw you in from the parking lot. Immediately – upon stepping into the “Box Car” you are transported away to a different world. How can I describe the Owner/Operator – other than a Captain of a Ship; - Everyone working in Mattie’s Diner is amazing; - Everyone is friendly, enthusiastic and stand proud and steadfast devoted to ensuring diner satisfaction; - You feel like you are seated inside a “Box Car Diner” – The ambiance is amazing. Friends – this is a place that you must try. Saturday’s Visit was just amazing; - Food was just unbelievable; - I visited there for Lunch; Most folks were eating Brunch. I would come back this morning (Sunday) – 21 January 2024 for Breakfast/Brunch; - This place is more than your typical Diner Food – the place has character, bite and class. The waitresses call you honey and sweetie; - You will not find a more local of a place; Yet – Ironically the Owner/Operator “Mattie” is your “Quintessential” Charlotte Boy originally hailing from Lyndhurst, New Jersey. Apparently – this is where he procured the originally Diner Box Car and transported down to North Carolina. Take a look at my pictures and videos from the weekend; they say it all. Everything that you will devour is made fresh and simply made to order. Tremendous Vegan / Vegetarian options; - You’re not going to find a place more respectable of the most discerning palates. This place is frequented by Charlotte’s Bravest – Witnessed, Firefighters dropping in to pick up food; - so you know it must be good. Tremendous selection of delicious beverages to wash down your meal; - Including this Amazing “Organic Soda” – Don’t fear the Sugar – it was amazing. I’m a Doctor – trust me, a little bit can’t hurt you.Pot Roast Entrée was amazing and taste like “Bubbie” used to make; - That’s Yiddish for Grandma. This place is the epitome of melting pot with people speaking in various languages, dialects and accents. Don’t worry – You won’t get lost. Wait staff are psychotically accommodating and will ensure that you leave stuffed and smiling.Parking could potentially be a bit of a challenge, but don’t fret/fear – you can make your way to the “Overflow” lot just a few feet away and find a great spot to park; - Otherwise just be patient – there is lots of movement at this place because everyone is coming and going. Place is truly spotless, I have to mention the extremely clean bathrooms; But – that’s because the team takes tremendous pride in every aspect of this institution. Sit down, because I’m about to say something important – Mattie’s Diner may possibly be one of the top 10 restaurants in Charlotte. I’m not kidding. Enjoy a “Little Slice of Jersey” in the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina – I’m not kidding. Don’t be a fool! – Try it! – Great for couples and the family. Could get a bit tight for large groups. Overall – A+ - I challenge you to find a place with better food, down home character and local charm – all rolled up into one. You will leave feeling a part of this institution. Enjoy!Vegetarian options: Vegans/Vegeterians - Have no fear! - You are all good!Dietary restrictions: This Restaurant Caters to all Tastes and Dietary Restrictions - Vegans have no fear!Parking: Plenty of Extra Parking in the "Overflow Lot" - just located a few feet away!Kid-friendliness: Kids will love this place! - Staff is kid friendly! - Family atmosphere!

MLK Fail -manager was on 10 from the start was a regular NEVER returning- it’s a no-go recommendation1) don't force customers out by turning off the actual heat while customer is still seated and finishing food- the server said we could finish- smh2) If a customer or any person states that something felt- to them racially different and you aren't that race-lead with empathy and compassion not defense, anger, dismissiveness or mention of your marriage to another race. Angry defense and exercising privilege is a deflection and being married or dating someone BIPOC doesn’t make you are incapable of unconscious bias or offensive behavior.3) don’t serve reheated coffee lukewarm to paying customers and get angry when they call you on itServer wasn’t the issue manager was frantic, seemingly bothered & out of control today - we were vegan regulars - as we are local to the neighborhood-crazinessMatton is the best up there - they are now cook not server. I took pic of ticket so owners won't try to report this act like this as a fake experience full details on yelp.
