South 21 Matthews, located across from the old Charlotte coliseum, is a restaurant with a long history and a dedicated customer base. Known for its trout plate and onion rings, as well as its burgers, the restaurant has been a favorite for decades. The atmosphere is described as having a diner vibe with friendly staff and fresh ingredients. Recent visits have noted changes in the batter for the fish and onion rings, with some customers preferring the previous flakier and crispier version. Despite these changes, the food remains hot, solid, and enjoyable, with standout items like the dogs and double burger. Customers also praise the fast service, friendly staff, and nostalgic 1950s diner decor. The menu offers fun, old-fashioned comfort food that is just good, and the restaurant is very kid-friendly, offering fries and other familiar dishes. Overall, South 21 Matthews continues to be a welcoming place with a strong sense of nostalgia, though opinions vary on the food quality.
