The food was pretty good. Tre was our server super friendly, and understanding the huge menu is a lot to take in. The vibe is definitely a definitive diner. I think there might be an ac problem there was a giant fan in the dining room. Its family friendly. Parking is a bit weird. Use the giant parking lot hooked up to the building. It's not a roadside location. You do have to walk a bit. But the food is worth it.
Typical diner but the food was better than most. I definitely recommend the fried chicken and the pancakes and French toast.
Breakfast. I was staying next door at AC Hotel, their breakfast was lacking. Glad I walked over. I had the meat lovers omelette, excellent. Side of bacon and tomatoes. Coke products, thank goodness.
The Bubba tasted good. The server Rosie was awesome. She has a great attitude. The place looks like a diner you would see in the 60's movie's.
We were in Charlotte to see a comedian and arrived an hour early. We took a walk around uptown to find a snack. We stumbled upon Red Eye Diner, which didn't look busy and we figured they could get us in and out quickly. The ambiance is what you would expect from a diner. Dowop pictures on the wall and a big laminated menu with lots of options including breakfast all day. I wasn't hungry, but there is always room for dessert. I got the banana pudding with vanilla wafers and whipped cream on top. It was just ok. The pudding wasn't as thick and I typically like, but all and all it was good enough for my snack. My family was much hungrier and got chicken and waffles and added Mac and cheese. It's the eggy baked kind of Mac and cheese. The waffle was excellent and the fried chicken wings were fresh, crisp, and well spiced. Our bill was affordable and the service was great! I will add that when we left and got to the theatre my iPhone dinged me that I left my AirPods. I called the dinner and they immediately answered and looked but didn't see them. I went into the "find my" app and realized they fell out in my car and were showing in the parking deck. (I found them after the show and slid next to my seat ) I would return to Red Eye Diner again.
I recently dined at the Red Eye Diner and here's my review: I ordered a turkey and Swiss sandwich, which I found to be quite average. However, the waffle fries served with it were a pleasant surprise, seasoned to perfection. The strawberry milkshake and onion rings were both good, and the latter was served hot. The only downside was that the waitress forgot our Root Beer float, and we also didn't receive the discount we were entitled to for checking in on Yelp. The service was average, and the ambience was typical of a diner. Despite the hiccups, I would rate my experience at Red Eye Diner with 4 stars. The tasty waffle fries and good milkshake made up for the minor issues in service.
We went after a concert, so it was about midnight. There's security at the door and then you have to wait for the hostess to come get you before you go inside. The staff was all very friendly and working hard. The onion rings were awesome, they actually had seasoning on them. The strawberry milkshake was packed full of flavor-no cherry on top though lol. The Turkey and Swiss was average and the waffle fries were good. The root beer float never came, but it was on my ticket at checkout. It was removed, but the 10% discount that I showed was never applied. $27 for onion rings, shake and sandwich (with fries).
