I was a bit surprised by this joint. It's neatly tucked away between a Great Clips, Subway, and some sort of health nut store. At first glance you would think it's too small and it probably won't be around too long. Also, the man that runs the place had his face plastered up against the glass ( but a funny, nice guy) when we were looking at the menu on the outside, so it was a bit intimidating at first. As I said, the place is small but it's got that classic diner look about it which I appreciate. Our waiter was the owner I believe, he was super friendly, and liked to coach us on the menu. Drinks were brought out promptly while we studied the menu. Sweet tea was great, so things were looking up. We started off with fried pickles. Pretty damn good although I wish they had a bit more batter on them. We were given a cajun-mayo and ranch to dip them in. I ignored the tiny puddle of grease at the bottom because with fried-foods that sometimes can't be helped. We tried the chicken-fingers (AWESOME), chicken pot-pie (pretty good), and mac-n-cheese with bacon (good). Now, the mac-n-cheese was good, but as an entire entree I was not a fan. It would've worked better as just a side for me with some other dish. The chicken pot-pie was more on the soupy side....bordering on a stew. It was good but there was some spice that was in it seemed to overpower it just a tad. Not sure what it was. We wish it had more of the bread-topping to it to thicken it all up a little more. The cornbread was a tad on the sweet side (which I prefer) but was too dry. As I said before, the chicken-fingers were great and the accompanying fries were FANTASTIC. Really, some of the best fries in Charlotte. I will be back to try something different, maybe something from their breakfast menu. Those chicken-fingers will be hard to pass up. Hey...chicken with waffles! There you go. Your pal, Walter
