The Shiny Diner

11 Best North Carolina Diners | Eater Carolinas

"The Shiny’s Diner eye-popping silver exterior, black-and-white checkered floors, and overhead spotlights make it one the state’s finest examples of an old-school diner brought back to life. Staying close to the classics, this spot is known for its ice cream floats, baskets of fried sides, and all-day breakfast essentials. Though its authentic diner cart aesthetic and glorified Cadillac memorabilia might lead one to think it got its start in the fifties, the Shiny Diner (originally Gypsy’s Shiny Diner) was established in 1997 and has kept crowds coming back ever since." - Sara Akhavan
