Service is awful. The place is forever dirty. I've tried, repeatedly. They do make a good egg. There's really good potential, if they clean up their dining room, utensils, friendliness of the staff and their food handling habits. Their patty melt would be perfect if it didn't ooze grease. The temp is always right, the flavor is good, and their onions are cooked perfectly; it literally just oozes grease down your hands. Everything is sticky, tacky, scary to touch. Even when the staff are friendly, getting greeted and being tended to (regardless of how many people are present) is just...it's like being non existent until they feel like it. The iced tea leaves a lot, A LOT, to be desired. And, we're in the south. Items are well priced. The old school diner feel is there..Just needs a bit of TLC and some actual attention to cleanliness (and timely attention to customers).

This spot used to be "it" but in Morganton, breakfast sitdown places are limited. Well I guess the folks at CD know this because I've had better service about anywhere else I've been. The waitress (who I have no idea how she has worked here for so long because her personality is about as much as a wet noodle,) never spoke to us and finally no exaggeration 50 minutes later (after waiting 10Minutes to be sat, which we had to do ourselves) we got our food. I understand being busy, but when you don't even seem to care I get aggravated. Also, it's breakfast... it's not like it's super hard to cook... anyways the service is horrible slow and the food is ehh...

This a cute little diner that we just happened to be passing by Sunday after church. It was busy but the service was fast and the food was great! Will definitely be back!

First off the waitress was incredibly kind. The restaurant itself was disgusting. The seats were ripped up and the bathroom was nasty as..! Both orders came out incorrect as well.

Was road tripping through the area and needed some breakfast. This place is the cute classic diner you see in movies. Fast service and food that hits the spot!

The service was awful. The waitress was extremely unfriendly and unwelcoming. She never said hello, goodbye. Never smiled at us. We were happy walking in, irritated walking out. She was a one word waitress.Food was ok. The whole experience here was a downer. It makes a difference how you are treated when you walk in. Will not return.

Great service and good food. There's ample seating but it gets busy. The breakfast is the best.
