★★★★★ 5.0 TC Yarman · Mar 2026

My future daughter-in-law took us to her and my son's weekly breakfast spot, Crack of Dawn Diner in Concord, NC. I could not decide between pancakes or French toast- so I ordered one of each. When I can eat either without syrup, I know I found a good pancake and/or french toast. They were delicious. It was a party of four, extremely great prices and friendly staff. Unfortunately, I only photographed my own plate.

Good service. Good food. Chicken and waffles were good. Nice large salads were a joy. Chicken Salad sandwich was good as well. You can't go wrong with Southern Sweet Tea and good pricing. Relaxing/ family-friendly atmosphere. The owner is amazing (I think her name was Anne). I recognized her from Captain Steve's and now she owns her own establishment. Freaking amazing. I like to call it a hidden gem of delight. I shall return.

We came by this on our way back home and I wish we lived closer honestly. This is the best hole in the wall diner I’ve ever been to. Food is absolutely amazing, customer service is outstanding. Our waitress was the best I’ve came across in a while. Their lemon pie was to die for. Everyone there was just super friendly and kind and this place is so CLEAN. It’s hard to find a clean restaurant and this place was beyond clean. Will definitely be coming back!

Very happy I found this spot. Was at breakfasttime and had 30-40 minute wait (at least 12 names ahead of us) on a Saturday morning. I don’t mean to compare but I for sure did NOT miss the long wait to be seated over there!! This place was nice and homey. You’ll find that inside is more spacious than it looks from outside. The food is exactly what you’re expecting. There is an old soul in the preparation of their menu items and the quality and portions are perfect for the prices!! The customer service was great and who I can only deduce was the owner was walking around happily talking with her customers. The big platter was generous, the omelets were great size, and the French toasts were awesome! The biscuits and gravy was satisfying but the gravy was plain. Just a little salt really kicke

The French toast was real good . And our Server ( Mayana)was excellent. But then we had issues. Food wasn’t hot and we had to send our veggie omelette back to cook again to it not being done the 2nd time.
