Decided to bring some friends here around 9ish in the morning. I'm pretty sure we beat the rush because there was no wait but by the time we left there was about a 30 minute wait. Everything came out pretty fast and everyone loved their food. It was my friend first time and she absolutely loved it. You can never go wrong with this place. It's like one of the places you go to when you just want something good and simple for breakfast. My biscuit was really good and honestly I could have had two of them. The grits are chefs kiss is you like them creamy. Never had anything bad here! If anything the grits and fried chicken are two must haves when you go!

Finally made it to midnight diner! There was no line when we arrived around 9:15pm on a Saturday but when the hornets game ended the line grew to about 50 people.It's pretty lively inside and the food comes out pretty quickly. The wait staff was extremely pleasant and efficient. The food was great! Tasted just like a good home cooked meal. The breakfast was a nice treat for dinner instead of the typical dinner food.

Stopped by the Midnight Diner for lunch with our kids on a whim. Pros: didn't wait long for a table and staff was helpful and quick. We received the wrong bill, but the staff quickly fixed it with no issue. Food was decent - typical diner food which was exactly what we were looking for with a quick lunch. We ordered two of the buffalo chicken sandwiches, the kids hotdog and kids chicken tenders. Kids were happy as were we with the portions and taste.Cons: Cleanliness of the place really hurt it for me, particularly the bathrooms. I get with high traffic they won't be pristine, but this was particularly dirty. Soaps and paper towels all over the bathrooms were wet and were being man handled by customers. The toilets were dirty enough to not even use them. The booths needed an additional wipe down as well which also made me wary, especially in flu/cold season.Not sure the food outweighed cleanliness factor here, so likely would not return in the future which is a bummer.

Midnight Diner is one of my favorite places to go to while in Charlotte! Their shrimp and grits do not miss! Their onion rings are really good too. And their waffles are bomb! Unfortunately their bang bang chicken sandwich wasn't worth getting and it made my boyfriend sick so I don't recommend that. But of the many times that we have been here we haven't had any issues with anything else on the menu. The ambiance is very typical of a diner friendly but classic. There is booth seating as well as bar seating. Service is consistently nice and quick! Highly recommend midnight diner after a concert or show at the spectrum center as it's just a short walk away!

The wait staff was very friendly from the moment we walked in the door. Plenty of staff so we didn't have to wait for food or drinks. It's located downtown so there were some sketchy people outside no fault of the restaurant. Free 2 hour parking available for customers. Large food portions! We had the greek omelette and tall stack pancakes. The outlet had feta cheese, tomatoes, spinach, and onions. it also came with hashbrowns and a biscuit. The coffee was good. There was only cream and sugar available for the coffee no stevia or splenda. I'd visit again if I was staying downtown.

After a late night Uptown Charlotte, Midtown dinner is the perfect ending to an eventful night. I thought the diner has a large selection of breakfast inspired foods, I chose the chicken tenders and fries. It didn't disappoint. I had buffalo dipping sauce on the side. Those who joined me ordered pancakes with sausage, shrimp and grits, eggs and chicken wings. Let's just say we ended the night with a table full of happy plates. I tasted some of the grits and they were creamy and delicious.

Good food for excellent portions and prices. We were however overcharged and while the waitress was nice about the refund, she refunded the wrong card and I never actually recieved my refund... someone else did.

Expect a wait if you're going after midnight. Greeted by security guard before entering. Can order to-go or dine in. 1/2 Chicken platter was decent. A few pieces of the chicken did not taste fresh, but like it was sitting under a warmer for a while. Flavor was pretty bland. Fried fish and shrimp were nicely fried. Biscuit was a basic buttermilk type. Diner-like atmosphere and pretty big, so it can be a bit loud depending where you sit. Menu has a plethora of options!

Midnight has been a staple in Charlotte since I can remember. It does get packed and the service can get a bit slow but baby that food never lacks! It's that old diner feel with the comfy booths and the swivel bar stools that has been the same since forever! But back to the food. A couple weeks ago Ai went back after a hiatus - just lots of work and travel- and got fried chicken with eggs and grits. IDK WHO WAS COOKING THAT DAY BUT THEY NEED A RAISE! My chip was perfectly fried and tender - simply amazing! My grits were thick, creamy, and perfectly mixed like grandmas, and the biscuit was a buttery pillow of incredible goodness!!!!!!! Everything was so amazing!!!!!!!! If you haven't been (or haven't been back) the time is now. Warm up to a cup of truck driver coffee, fried chicken, and grits - the best in the city!
