Mattie's was always a place I have wanted to try. It gets great reviews, its gets the stamp of approval from places around the city, and claiming to be a NJ diner in NC, I figured it had to be good. \n     Honestly, if you know anything about a NJ diner, or food for that matter lower your expectations. I ordered simple, eggs, bacon, toast, homefries, diner essentials. \n     Ordered waited about 10 minutes then came over dropped it on my table and immediately I know this was a mistake.\n     Toast was not toasted, potatoes were raw, and bacon was nothing but fat. I dont know if anyone cared because it the end of breakfast or what but I was appalled. It is pretty easy to make toast, a decent piece of bacon, and leave the potatoes on the grill an extra 5 mins. \n      Its an experience, old school feel, but the food is garbage. I saw on instagram someone put up a pic of the meatball hero and I was mortified. But idiotically I tired it anyway, so I guess I deserved it. \n     I hate sounding like a snob but for all the praise this place gets it was a major let down. MO
