| - This is one of those local gems!! We've been a couple of times for lunch and once for breakfast. Our lunch has consisted of hot dogs with chili and fries. That said I'm not a huge fan of hot dogs!! Once in a while I think we all get cravings for things we'd normally not eat. This is where Green's Lunch comes in for me. If I'm going to eat a hot dog I'm extremely picky about where I'll eat them from so that says a lot about Green's for me. The chili has a very good flavor but not over powering at all. The hot dogs were good as well not mushy like some can be, rolls are steamed just the right amount. The fries are good, just the right amount crunchy, hot and not greasy. They offer many toppings for your hot dog as well as several other offerings on their lunch menu. As for their breakfast we had pancakes which were larger than the plate they were on, just the right thickness and fluffiness. My husband had sausage patties and said it's the best sausage he's had lately. We shared home fries, they appeared to have seasoned salt on them and were too salty for my taste. They were cold as were our pancakes, very disappointing to say the least especially considering we were the third and fourth folks in line to place our order upon them opening on a Saturday. The home fries appeared to be pre cooked/par boiled which is fine especially considering they'd be finished off on the grill, that said they were a bit mushy and cold. This may have been bc it was early, the grill not hot enough or bc the line was backing up out the door during our visit. We may or may not return for breakfast but I know we'll return for Saturday afternoon lunch. They have very limited hours I'm not certain what time they open on week days, Saturday they open at 9:30 and close at 2:30 which I believe is closing time on week days as well. I did notice a sign stating they'd be open in the evenings for all Charlotte Knights games. Give them a try, this isn't the type of place you go while watching carbs, calories nor fat grams. It's the type of place you may find in a typical southern town, exactly what we were looking to find!! All said even and I had to give 5 stars even though our breakfast wasn't as good as our lunch likely only as a result of the above mentioned factors. I doubt our breakfast experience is typical as they were packing them in while we were there as well as upon leaving.
