Crack Of Dawn Diner

This is a true Breakfast & Brunch restaurant. We visited on a Monday morning. This restaurant is located in the old Grandma's Diner spot. The paved parking lot is a decent size, but there is also a gravel lot next to the restaurant as well. When you walk in, grab a menu at the door and seat yourself. They offer a few booths, bar seating, and plenty of tables for small or large groups. If you move a couple tables, you can comfortably fit a group of 10 people. This place gives all the local, small town vibes. Although it was our first time, the staff spoke to us like old friends. I also observed them greet a few regulars like family. I ordered the classic breakfast plate. It comes with two eggs, a meat, a biscuit or toast, and one side. It's a really good amount of food and everything tasted great. I wouldn't change a thing. The coffee was pretty good also. The service was great. Our server was so kind and very attentive. The bathroom was very clean. Just a note, while the diner is child friendly, there is not a changing station and we didn't see any high chairs. I look forward to visiting again.

We came to town for a concert last night and stayed nearby. We have three large dogs and we didn't want to crate them again while we ate. We looked for a local breakfast/brunch place and happened upon this restaurant. They have to-go options so, with dogs in tow off we went. It's a small building but inside it's bright and cheery. I noticed on the door going inside that it's a woman owned business so this was a fantastic choice. I was greeted with a smile and I'd assume it was the owner that processed my check. WeDidn't get anything fancy - veggie omelets home fries and biscuits with gravy.. everything was delicious, portions were just right so that we got our fill without feeling stuffed.I'd highly recommend this restaurant!!

Great spot! Service was so wonderful and fast. Kept the coffee flowing! Also reasonable prices. Good diner experience.

Always a tasty, friendly and affordable visit! The BEST French fries I have found in the surrounding area, I now ask for them extra crispy (preference) however they're still fantastic without the request. Stacked club sandwich that never misses. Another favorite between my husband and I is the fried bologna sandwich - usually we split the sandwiches for the best of both worlds. He loves the okra and especially loves the ranch. Never regret stopping by the diner to see the friendly faces and have a bite.

I would give more stars if I could! So we found this cute little diner and I'm choosing my words carefully. I really mean found. We went to Rachel's Place only to discover they're closed permanently. Bummed does not adequately describe my feelings. But I remember that this restaurant always pops up when I'm searching for breakfast places. I looked them up, made sure they serve breakfast all day for my mom and lunch for me. We were on our way. I got a little nervous when I realized the directions were taking us through a residential area. Then, pop! We turn the corner and this 'cure' 'little' diner is right there. My Mom has limited mobility so I'm always looking for restaurants that are easily accessible. The door was basically next to our car door. Score!I walked in first to check it out before getting my mom out of the car. I was greeted from across the restaurant with a friendly greeting and directive to sit wherever I liked. I loved that there were plenty of options close to the door. You can see the whole restaurant from the door. It felt like I made it to auntie's house!When I started to bring my mom in one of the customers quickly came to the door to hold it. Before we could get in all the way the owner, Ann, was right there. She did not leave my mom's side until she was comfortably seated. She was this friendly and accommodating with EVERYONE. Our server was Yessie and she was delightful. We ordered a rice bowl with chicken (I don't eat a lot of meat so I got it on the side. Got a side of fruit which was fresh and yummy. My mom got chicken and waffles. Two nice size juicy pieces of boneless fried chicken with about four little mini waffles. My Mom devoured it. My rice bowl had onions, fried corn, pinto beans and jalapeños. Delicious, I had leftovers. It would make me so happy if they added sautéed mushrooms but I'd definitely order again. Nice crowd. Started to thin out about 2. They close at 3 so I got to observe their clean up. On point. Not real noisy. Music would be nice.We have found our new spot. If you're missing Rachel's, hightail it on over here. Great service, great food. Be yourself. Laid back atmosphere. Clean. I'm telling everyone I know! Wait....hmmm

Just lovin' this little spot of down home comfort food and service. Bright and cheery inside just like the servers. Haven't had a meal I didn't enjoy. Veggie omelet was tasty and came with a side and bread. Biscuit and gravy with added sausage had a good flavor but not as thick as we like. All in all you just need to stop here and enjoy a good home cooked meal served by the smiling servers.

Ventured out for breakfast to a relatively new place in Concord. AND WOW! What a great experience. The diner is very clean and inviting. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door by so many smiling staff members and seated by a lovely lady we found out later was the owner. There are plenty of 4 top tables but really only one to seat a large group of 6-8 unless you hit it at the right time where they could push a few together. Our waitress was delightful and offered suggestions when needed. She brought our food out hot and as ordered with a normal wait time. All of it was really good but the biscuits were deee-lish!!!! They weren't tall but they were buttery, salty and light. And if you're southerner or a southern wanna be like me, you know that hits all the marks!! The pancakes were also very light and tasty. We were checked on several times by the sweetest ladies which added to our experience. I wish them all the best because I hope this gem of a diner stays around for a long time for is to enjoy for years to come.

We went for breakfast, looking at their scrumptious menu and we decided to stayed for Lunch. My wife loves the crunchy fat back! Their barbecue plate was super tasty, this is my new Lunch spot!

Great spot. Food was excellent, delicious biscuits and gravy! Staff was attentive and nice.

1. This is a woman owned and operated business, so bravo!2. Breakfast was good. I had the veggie omelet. 3. The only thing keeping from a 5 star is that the biscuit could have been fluffier.
