We love this place and all are welcome!!! We need to keep the small businesses going. One thing I would change is maybe try grilling hot dogs to keep the flavor instead of boiling them. Also try Hebrew National hot dogs. Thank you to all of you for doing a great job. God bless you all.
My cousin loves this place, she has taken me here several times and they do not disappoint. Love the burgers and shakes
Just tried it today, totally Awesome !! Great diner, great burgers !! The Ice Cream desserts & shakes are super.Very Clean diner, and can be very busy at lunch with frequent locals. Will be back often👍
Wow. Love this place. Excellent service and affordable food. Great atmosphere. And the desserts and shakes...heavenly. Down to earth, humble little place with a BIG heart!
I have gotten food from the Kannapolis location before and have always loved it. Got take out from this location last night and was unimpressed. The egg salad sandwich was good, but I’ve had better. The fried squash was lacking flavor. We got fried pickles but they were soggy and they didn’t come with ranch. My friend got chili and they didn’t give any cornbread or sour cream. I’m hoping this was an off night for them because I normally love getting food from here.
I STOPPED BY THIS BUBBLY LIL SPOT ON MY WAY TO WORK .GOT ME SOME TEA SWEETENED WAS GOOD .BURGER DOUBLE CHEESE GOOD MADE ME FULL.ONION RINGS SLAMMING. I WANT TO TRULY SAY THANK YOU LADIES FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC IN FOOD SERVICE IS NOT EASY.THANKS FOR SHOWING UP TO MAKE HUNGRY LIL LADIES LIKE ME HAPPY FOR BURGERS .CONTINUE TO STAY SAFE AND BLESSED AND LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE .
Typical, old-fashioned soda shoppe with simple food (burgers, grilled cheese, fries, ice cream sundaes etc) but definitely not for folks on a low calorie or low fat diet. Staff were very friendly though the two waitresses were having to spend a lot of time ringing up takeout orders while also covering their tables. My only complaint was the use of styrofoam cups, styrofoam plates, and plastic utensils for dine-in customers. I would have really liked an actual plate and fork, both for comfort and because I hate the wastefulness of single-use plastics.
Wasnt able to try the food, i placed two doordash orders and both were cancelled. unsure why, please fix that if possible. id love to try your food! :)
Absolute classic diner. Great service.
My partner and I havent had any time lately to go on a date night, so we chose the Charlotte location to have a fun and laid back dinner. We had a wonderful server, Asha, that seriously added to our dinner by being gracious, attentive, empathetic, and upbeat! We had a really nice meal, but the experience will be bringing us back in the future, and that lovely mac n cheese!
These businesses survive because they bring people back to a different time. The truth is that the food is never that special, just a warmed up hotdog and a milkshake. You know, the food you get at the drive in movie concession area, or at the fair, or at an ice cream shop, or [insert southern place here] Its the decor that always gives it a pass, take that away and I honestly wonder if anyone would show. Definitely an over 50 crowd here during weekday lunch, not sure If its the diner theme or the 7 Christian messages placed around the inside that brings in this market. After eating a forgetable hamburger, hotdog, fries and milkshake (I was hungry!) Cost about $18 with tip, save your money and just grab some Cookout for $6 bucks, or better yet, head to Zacks.
The best milkshakes in town and my husband is a huge fan of their fried bologna sandwiches. Expect some traffic on the weekends. Its very small inside.
Worst customer service ever…don’t eat at this establishment unless you want to talked to like you’re stupid!!!
Its small, the food is good, not too expensive. And the employees are so nice! Hamburgers are the best ever!
Food was great and I did not have to wait long. Only complaint I have is that I wish I would have ordered an additional serving of the potato salad-best Ive ever had.
Love the food and the servers! We try to go at least once a week.
The decor is charming and the service is friendly, but the food is just okay. The burger could have been cooked a little less and the fries cooked a little more.
Hot dog took the longest and then when it came out it was disgusting. Got all the way home to a soggy hotdog. Will never return. They’re lucky I can’t post a picture with this review.
Stop by for desserts, they were delicious with a quaint 50s atmosphere!
If you dont get the Big John, its completely your fault, but at least I told you so, up front get it and vring an appetite.Grits are a must! Dont deny yourself!
Super friendly 50’s dinner hidden in park center. Love taking the kids there.
Im nostalgic and love to see places that recalls when times were more gracious and simple. This place took me back to Happy Days, American dream and neighbors being neighborly. I enjoyed a great burger and at a price not seen much in that particular spot. Thanks for your great service and kind conversation... and even though I was short change cause I left my wallet, you didnt hesitate to say... dont worry about that... Im grateful for your welcoming experience and look forward to my next meal, and I wont forget my wallet this time😁
I loved coming here for the second time. Its small but it has the feeling that the people who work there enjoy being there. The food is good ole feel good diner food and make sure you say a blessing before you eat!
This restaurant has a diner-like field with great service and food. I got a grilled pimento cheese and tater tots and both were cooked perfectly. I also got Coke in a glass bottle which is one of my favorite treats! All of the staff waits on you and you pay up front. Lots of parking available!
Fantastic environment. Wonderfully kind staff. Great food. Love this place.
I have been taking people here for years and my son loves the burgers too. We usually get ice cream because they have fresh flavors and make excellent shakes and malts. The help us always in a good mood, the coke is old fashioned from the fountain and the salads are good if you are trying to eat healthier. If I go alone, I feel right at home at the counter, and the 50s music is refreshing. Go back in time and tell me those are not the crispier fries you ever ate!! Love them!
The best food and service in the city
Maybe I had bad luck. The fish sandwich and kids meal we got was terrible. That fish shouldnt be served. But I felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable in this place. Every customer kept looking at me like I didnt belong inside. I was greeted very late, even after a guy came in after me for the same reason as me, and completed his entire transaction before I was greeted. The food was not good so this was a waste of time, money, and energy. I wish I didnt try this place out.
Always a great place to grab a bite to eat. Good burgers and fries. Their Orangeaid is very good. Great service as well.
We came from Orlando and they recommended this restaurant because it was good. The food was fine, but late and when it was claimed for the delay the waitress answers with a very bad attitude. I do not recommend it at all treat customers badly.
The burger was almost very good, it needed more chilli and coleslaw. The hot dog here again was almost very good, the bun needed steaming, grill cheese was awesome, kids burger was big..m the fries for my taste were 8nder cooked
I really wanted to love this place. Locally owned, small business. Servers were very kind but not very attentive. Ordered chili cheese dog & onion rings. Chili on hot dog was cold, batter on onion rings was sweet & too thick for my taste. Servers never came back to refill drinks. My husbands baked beans tasted burnt. It couldve been an off day. This was my one & only visit.
Great American food. Loved it.
Park Road soda shoppe is one of my favorite places to go in Charlotte. The food is delicious!
Always consistent in food quality and service. You cant go wrong here. So glad they remain in business at the shopping center.
Excellent diner. 1950s themed, but serves a lot more than just hot dogs and burgers. Fine salads, sandwiches, okra, fries, and excellent milkshakes and ice cream. Theyre also Christian-themed, with nice notes posted here and there about being thankful for today, etc. The owner, Amanda, does a fine job. I totally recommend...
Quaint; good food; great service
Great milkshakes
Burger wasnt anything special. Got the bacon cheese burger plain and added ketchup. Burger was dry and bacon was far from fresh. The onion rings however were spot on. Its a seat yourself old school diner. Great place to take your grandparents for a nostalgic feel. Service was on par, not bad, but not exceptional. Wish I had room for a banana pudding shake. Maybe next time.
Great business mtg loction. Good was good and service was fantastic. Looking forward to the next visit.
Been here many times. Have tried a variety of their offerings (other than the icecreams). Never had a bad plate of food and the prices are very reasonable. Never had a problem with the wait staff either. I keep coming back because its fairly local and Ive enjoyed every meal there.
Great hot dogs and fries but beware if you are male. The staff does not seem to like male customers and youll need to be diligent if you want a beverage refill or any attention at all from the wait staff... especially the older ones. Courtesy and kindness do not seem to improve the odds.
What a cute place! If you love your American hamburgers and hot dogs (Nathans & Kahns), and delicious milkshakes and ice cream floats, then this is the place for you. Brings back that 1950s vibe. I cannot wait to go back!
GREAT food and even better service. The restaurant is so cute and vintage. Definitely a great place to visit.
This was the first time I went to this location as I grew up going to the original location. I was very excited to find out about this newer location when back in town visiting. However, either this soda shop location is not like the original or theyve just changed over the years. The other location used to have the best curly fries. I was told they only had crinkle fries at both locations now. I figured Id give their new fries a try but they were very bland. Other than that, service was friendly and quick. Not sure if the chain has changed over the years or just this newer location.
Im guessing management never reads customer reviews. I was searching for somewhere (not a drive-thru) to grab my teen a bit to eat. I always read the reviews to get a judge of the place. Upon reading one customer review stating, safe place, all white people, I will never purchase anything from this establishment, not even a napkin. This was an extremely foolish thing to say. The nerve of some people will never cease to amaze me. Meanwhile, this same idiot took a pic of a couple of their Christian themes. Perhaps, DMAC, needs to reevaluate his life. Need I go on?!
Food and service is fine but the problem is they serve everything on disposable plates and plastic utensils. Bad for the environment.
Great service & all sorts of tasty frozen treats in addition to standard American diner fare (think cheeseburgers with fries, grilled cheese sandwiches & chili dogs). Dont forget to get a cute T-shirt; I got one in snazzy aqua! 😃
Just go and youll see why I its the best
Ordered through Door Dash a Footlong all the way and the receipt and door dash shows all the way but the hotdog was not all the way. I called and they said I needed to report to Door dash but they arent over the door dash app. Clearly the receipt shows all the way but they did not want to take responsibility for the mess up
As always, it was exactly what I had hoped. The burger was huge, the tea was sweet and cold, and fries and fried okra was perfect. Yes, I was hungry. Lol
Tried going to your website to see your menu to maybe try your food. Only ever got ads and questionaires. Still have no idea what you serve.
Passing thru decided to eat breakfast here based on reviews, unfortunately if youre not a regular your service will just be plain awful. We were a group of 8, 2 of our kids who ordered sandwich breakfast got theirs way after everyone else in our table has eaten their entire breakfast. Server just said my apologies, theres a temp cook, theres nothing I can do 🤷 she even brought out breakfast for other tables that had ordered way after ours.... Food was served in paper plates, styrofoam cups....
Great food and decently priced. All the staff was friendly and it had an old school soda shop vibe.
Love this place! Yummy food and great service.
I could literally eat here everyday! Orange Aid to tuna sandwich, fried pickles to egg salad sandwich, everything is delish. They have the best veggie burger in town. The staff is always nice too.
Great Burger even though 3 new Burger places surrounding them still the best place to go for a Burger... Always clean and great staff
Some of the best hot dogs in town and a great burger. Friendly service makes this a favorite place of mine.
You have to try the homemade lemon pound cake warmed topped with vanilla icecream! It is the BEST EVER!!!
Love it, very good, great staff, food good, location safe, all white people
Perfect stop for an authentic feeling old-school diner. Burgers were amazing, as were the fries. Give their shakes a try too!
Love this place! Have lunch there regularly, my favorite is their cheeseburger with chili! I stop in regularly for a chocolate chocolate milkshake!
Nice little burger and shake place with reasonable prices. Not a chain, local clientele. Can be crowded at times.
Good prices and service
My husband and I have been wanting to check this place out for awhile because of the great reviews. We were very disappointed. The friend pickles were too crunchy and had too much breading. My husband had the fish sandwich and did not care for it at all, he said the target sauce was terrible. The cheeseburger was flavorless. The best thing we had here was the vanilla coke. We will go back, but only to try their ice cream. Last chance.
Wonderful staff and great food!
Some of the best potato salad Ive ever eaten.
Love it there. Its like eating in an old school kind of diner.
Great hamburgers and hotdogs. Also support your local businesses.
Best burgers around!
The service was great the breakfast was good except for the hash browns were a little too hard
Absolutely enjoyable atmosphere, and the food has been great every time we have come. Service is delightful, food is quick, and we love it!
Best hamburgers in the neighborhood by far. The breakfast is hard to beat as well.
A great place a local staple! The best onion rings ever!
I had a great lunch there, so sad that I heard they will clos
The food was good, but the price didnt make any sense for the food you getting. I oayed like $13 for burger and dried with a drink. Thats the most expensive burger ive payed for and the is not a high end restaurant. I was disappointed with the cost, but no one should pay that much for basic lunch. I think it was too over priced. Not my favorite!!!
Throw back to a 1950s Soda Shop. Friendly service and good food.
I had a great hot fudge be Sunday
Friendly atmasphere,nice waitresses,good hot food I really recommend this location on a Saturday afternoon,with the kids
Fun, old fashioned burger joint to take the kids.
Loud. No band playing. Food quite tasty. Need brisket on the menu.
One of the best burgers in town and love their fat onion rings
Orangaide hit the spot on first warm Saturday. Place was still hoping mid afternoon.
Great food, friendly staff. Such a cute little place.
Love this place! Delicious food!
Just completely love to eat here food is always delicious
The food was good but giving 3 stars because the bathroom was gross .
Crowded but good food.
Was sitting near the kitchen. Saw someone tip the cook. The cook touched the money with gloved hands and continued to cook and touch food with dirty gloves. Gross.
Been going here for close to 20 years. Great spot for a quick lunch
