Food is amazing and so is the customer service, Tony is the best! Everything on the menu is delicious, Jumbo cheeseburger and a milkshake is my go to
Been coming here for my birthday since 2022 and I absolutely love it. Big portions and good prices, the food is really nice, but the vibe of the place is the best. Listening to 70s rock on the way always fits, and they play oldies in the restaurant too. Amazing staff, and again just the design of the place is great. Always come here in the evening and enjoy your time.

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.
