Mouthful Queen City Diner

Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 2:22 PM

With no chrome, jukebox, antique cars, or milkshakes in sight, Queen City Diner is not your typical diner. Located the spot that used to be Fiji Sushi on 5th Street in Uptown, it still has some of the same decor and furniture.

The restaurant opened its doors in December 2010 and has had them open ever since. The 24/7 restaurant caters to late-night party people looking for some grub.

When I stopped by this past weekend (during the afternoon), fellow customers were sparse. The food was decent and pretty much what you'd expect from a place catering to people seeking late night food. On the menu they have breakfast items like pancakes and omlettes, as well sandwiches and burgers.

The club sandwich (ham, turkey, roast beef, subbed with bacon since they were out of roast beef) I ordered was huge and came with a big serving of nicely fried Cajun-seasoned crinkle fries. The bread used for the club was grilled and tasted heavily of butter (not a bad thing, I guess). Perhaps due to a big Friday night crowd the night before, a few items like the roast beef and sweet potato fries out of stock.

The food was ok, nothing to rave about, but nothing to complain about either. I suppose if I had eaten the same meal after a long night of partying on Friday instead of on a sober Saturday afternoon, I'd probably be raving about how good the food is.

Mouthful / Smorgasbord / Brunch Ruth's Chris now offers brunch

Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 2:29 PM

Ruth's Chris Steak House is now offering Sunday brunch. Available at both Uptown and SouthPark locations, the brunch features starters, brunch selections (french toast, eggs benedict, etc), entrees (if you want to go for a steak), and a la carte sides. They are currently offering 1/2-price mimosas and bloody marys, too.

I'd highly recommend the Brioche French Toast which comes with a blackberry compote, maple butter, syrup, and a big bowl of fruit. Thick slices of brioche are perfectly cooked so they have a crispy exterior, and a perfectly soaked, un-soggy, interior. I'm thinking it may be my new favorite french toast in town.

My eggs benedict with crab cakes was delicious as well. The crab cakes were thick and meaty, filled with big chunks of crab.

Since the brunch service is relatively new and people might not know about it yet (it's been running for 5 weeks so far), there is no tortuous wait like there is at some brunch spots. (I visited the SouthPark location.)

With delicious food, a calm, sophisticated atmosphere, and impeccable service, Ruth's Chris offers Charlotte another great brunch option.

Brunch runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
