11 Best North Carolina Diners | Eater Carolinas
"Like its name beckons, the Diamond is a gem in Charlotte’s Plaza Midwood neighborhood, tried and true since 1945. With just enough of a throwback vibe in its corner jukebox and sea of lived-in booths, mixed with the alternative flair of its surrounding neighborhood, this hipster-friendly diner checks all the boxes for a diner experience. Polished and buffed over the years, its menu yields American classics like block burgers and all-beef hot dogs, house specials like golden-fried chicken, jumbo calabash shrimp, and Greek touches like its meze platter and Greek po’boy." - Sara Akhavan
