| - Well, it's no WaHo, but as everyone here seems to reiterate, it IS right down the street...
With some friends in town this weekend, after a night of carousing, we were looking for a basic breakfast place and decided to walk down to Midnight Diner to check out the fare. I have to say, I'm not as impressed/delighted with old-timey-style diners as maybe I'm supposed to be... they always seem a little too affected for my taste. The good thing is that because of the family clientele Midnight Diner seems to attract (at least on a Sunday morning), it seemed like a relatively clean place; the bad thing is that it's kind of sterile.
That said, the breakfast food was good - standard breakfast food, but they didn't eff anything up. The portions were gigantic and left us all feeling like little round butterballs that had to be rolled home through Southend.
My biggest contention? Price. This may look like an old school, old-timey diner from the outside, but when you look at their breakfast prices, you realize it's just another "Uptown" Charlotte, Super Charlotte People flytrap. $9 for a basic breakfast combo? Well, OK. To each her own.
