Diamond Restaurant: Discover Southern Comfort Cuisine in Charlotte, NC

Nostalgic old school kinda diner. Clean, good food and good service. My first time there and everyone made me feel like family. I'd go again. The Other Linda that got hugged.

The most welcoming place for all walks of life--food & service is superb, ambiance is full southern charm. !

Nothing like an old school restaurant to visit in a city that's being saturated by breweries and pizza joints. I got the salmon BLT, it was good but wasn't the best I've ever had. The menu is pretty simple, burgers, dogs and other sandwiches. I'd definitely go back and try more items. I went at lunch time around 1:30 and it was just a few more people inside. The place doesn't have a whole lot of seats so thankfully there was no lunch rush I ran into. They do have some patio seating that will be awesome when weather is warm. I chose to sit at the bar and was served immediately. Young lady who was my waitress was awesome. Very sweet and attentive without being overbearing.

We love walking to The Diamond and eating outside as a family (me, my partner, our toddler and our dog). The food is plentiful and consistent, and the staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming. The service is fast. And we love the come-as-you are ambiance of the whole space (indoor and outdoors). My favorite item is the Greek salad and I add grilled chicken. The salad is HUGE! And I love that one of the options on the kids menu is two sides. That always works out really well for our little girl (hello mac'n'cheese and green beans!).

Great diner in the center of plaza midwood! There is a very subtle Mediterranean vibe (they offer gyros) with the menu but it's mostly "southern" food. I had the hush puppies to start served fresh, fried, and filling! They came with ketchup and butter and were were a guilty pleasure treat. I had the fish sandwich for dinner. It comes ala carte- which is good because I was already getting full from the hush puppies! There were two fried fish filets on top of a soft bun. Yummy tarter sauce on the side. My husband and I indulged- we don't eat fried food often so this was really filling! I took half home. Service was so friendly. We were in and out quickly. Small outdoor seating is available but it didn't look to have much shade so we opted for inside.

Tried this place for the first time, and it somehow fits the plaza midwood vibe perfectly. Walk-in in, you are transported back in time, but in the best way possible. The service was friendly and prompt, and they even have high chairs for kids! We started with the hush puppies, which arrived fresh from the fryer with that slightly sweet, fried goodness. Add a little butter on top and they were great! Then the main course arrived, the 2/3 lb burger. Well prepared and full of flavor, my only regret was I didn't savor it more when consuming. Great place to enjoy, especially later in the evening after having a few drinks, definitely a must try!
