"Always a good time visiting this Charlotte-based Jersey-inspired diner! Gives us a feeling of being back home! Wylie and the staff are always so welcoming. We’ve never had a bad experience at Mattie’s!. A great menu with gnarly retro decor!"

"The retro theme was nice. The service for breakfast was great. The food lacked seasoning. We drove 40 minutes because it was reviewed on social media. Probably won't frequent again. To many other restaurant's. Here's some pictures."

"BFF wanted to go here because he saw vegan omelette via social media. Well, he described it as a Jersey diner and they had nonVegan items. Ok. Sunday lunch. Friend got on the list. But the Bestie that wanted to have this met me in the parking lot scared there would be cross contamination and wanted to go elsewhere. He's been a dedicated vegan since 2008 or 2010. Either way, this ain't for play nor show. He's principled. The other vegan is really pescatarian and could careless. I have severe allergies and definitely care if there's cross contamination. Young lady seating is asked about how the cooktop works for vegan items: 1) is there a separate cooktop? 2) are new utensils used? They did a good job answering and owning what they didn't know but sought someone to answer the questions. Young lady showed us the place where we'll sit and she would go get answers and be right back. She never came back. Alas, the server showed up and he didn't know either nor did anyone ask him or inform him. I had to clean the table and seats were more upsetting to me. The busboy popped nearby and I asked for his spray bottle and he apologized saying he'd clean. H wiped everything but dried nothing. Server returned without answers but someone got another guy to explain their process. He was helpful. I was content. I can say pics on Yelp leave much to be desired but I got the chicken fried chicken + mashed potatoes and sweet potato waffle fries. The vegans got their food first and we got an explanation. I didn't care. Bring it as it's ready. I understand. Plus y'all know vegan cheese doesn't melt. Lol. I didn't desire their vegan breakfast quesadilla nor padrino (I think that's what one had). See pictures. I must say I wanted to get the greens but I will definitely order them on another visit. The vegan ordered vegan pancakes for All to try. I like the crispy edges of any pancake but didn't need the pecans. The vegan butter and syrup was impressive. We got a lot of apologies in due time as 1) straws were forgotten 2) soup of day query was forgotten 3) refills forgotten 4) table wasn't cleaned I was most bothered the itemized check was taken away so I don't have an image for this review but also BECAUSE a huge convo took place regarding the tip. A new immigrant to the USA was amongst us AND had legit questions so I was happy to explain but their receipts show 20% totals and higher for tipping yet this receipt show the total with tax. Tips for on the pre-tax total. Long and short I can recommend 1) fried chicken fried 2) sweet potato waffle fries 3) mashed potatoes 4) brown and light gravy 5) vegan pancakes 6) American potatoes looked great but I didn't touch em as I had plenty Parking is rough. Cleanup in between flipping/turning tables doesn't really happen in the overflow and I'm good on that. Like, sweeping and wiping can be done between tables and as parties depart. The staff is younger like everyone appear to be teens which led a dining member inquire where are the adults? I think I saw 1. There is an overflow parking lot"

"1st time here, we always pass it but never ate here. It's a cute small little diner. The air conditioner must have been broken cause it was HOT & they had a portable air conditioner running. It wasn't too bad, but we wanted to stay & try the food. I got the beef pot roast with red potatoes and sweet potato fries, all very, very good. Jon got the burger, hot dog, and regular fries. He said it was good. The guys running place were funny & very helpful. We will be coming back, and hopefully, the air conditioner will be working next time."

"Great place, felt like I had stepped into a NJ diner. Friendly staff, prompt service and a really fun atmosphere. Has the best pattie melt; flavorful, juicy, but not greasy. The beer batter onion rings were amazing, and the chicken fried chicken was delicious with their sawmill gravy. Will be coming back again soon!"
