My lovely wife Liz and I eat at the Big View Diner at least once a week, and I must remark that the food is exceptional. I order the breakfast steak with poached eggs quite often as my diet (keto) requires it. My breakfast steaks are done to perfection nearly every time and even more difficult the poached eggs tend to be perfectly cooked as well. I think this is significant as this is not a steak house and everywhere else in town I have to order my eggs scrambled as Big View’s competition cannot figure out how to poach an egg correctly. For dinner and lunch I suggest the chopped steak. I am certain that they are putting crack in the gravy as it is beyond delicious and I crave it. The servers are well trained, likable and seldom does my drink glass empty. Marcus and Kristen are my personal favorites and I have never had bad service from any of the others even when the place is filled to capacity on a Sunday morning. The Hostess is organized and expedient; Rachel remembers faces and names very well and works the fine line of seating people as fast as she can and letting some seats empty to give the kitchen a break. Holly (one of the managers) is polite, kind, and demands the best from her staff. Frank (one of the owners) is almost always expediting and takes great care that every order is perfect. I could go on about this place, but I won't because I would be a dick for breaking the internet. If you have questions please feel free to PM me and I will happily discuss.
TL/DR it’s a damn good place to eat and do yourself a favor and eat there.
I love Big View Diner! Not only is the food great but the staff is so friendly, attentive, and always on top of their game. Even when it's packed on Sunday mornings! Kudos to them because that's not easy.
The Bakery is decadent. I melt at the smell of it when I walk through the doors!
The owners are wonderful. They have done an amazing job and running the Diner and the new menus are awesome!!
Sincerely,
A huge fan :)
Whether it’s a late morning breakfast or a warm cozy dinner at night. Big View diner has it all. The service is consistently friendly and attentive.
My Go-To dishes to eat here are the chicken parmigiana sandwich and simple salmon!
Don’t forget to save room for dessert!
This place is great! Great service and food. The bakery at the entrance is a huge plus. I agree with the other review. Diners like these are all over New Jersey and glad I found this place to fill that void! Will be a regular for sure.
Now that we live in Charlotte NC, I really missed all the diners in New Jersey - where we moved from. Thanks to my good friend who also moved south, she turned me on to the Big View diner & it's everything we're used to back home. The food is delicious and the service is wonderful! It's worth the 40 minute drive!
Excellent food and service! Yummy choices from all day breakfast, to Italian and Greek specialties. Fresh, tasty ingredients. Highly recommend!
The Big View never disappoints for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just having dessert and coffee. Great food and staff to serve you and your party.
Not at all what I expected! I expected a diner. This place is off the hook great! My girlfriend had the crusted trout, amazing! I had the shrimp and grits, fantastic. This is a "churched up" diner. Friendly wait staff that took excellent care of us. Looking forward to a return visit.
Love this place! My friend took me there for breakfast one day last week and I fell in love with it. Took hubby back a few days later and he loves it as well. Friendly staff and wonderful food. Definitely one of our keepers.
Always really fresh, delicious and well prepared meal. Great place to have dinner.
Big View Diner located at 16637 Lancaster Hwy, Charlotte, NC 28277 is a phenomenal diner! Very, very nicely decorated Restaurant that doesn’t feel like a Diner at all. Great food, service and the prices are fair too. Quite a varied menu too. Most recently I got their Turkey Dinner and my wife got their Steak Salad. Both were great. Manager came by and she was excellent too. Great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Tremendous bakery too for cakes and pies.

Timothy was kind, caring, and extremely efficient. He managed the bar area and the tables with speed and caring. The food was excellent and the portions were generous. I do have a concern as the portion of cake that was prepared as take out was oddly cut. The portion ended up being less than the usual portion size. Going forward maybe the person cutting the desserts would need more instruction on how to repair a miss cut. Timothy did NOT know about this issue as he only refastened the packaging on the top item in the take out bag which was a regular size piece of chocolate cake. All in all I will be back as the food and service are delightful. This was a minor issue that I trust will be handled smoothly.
I had my baby shower in the private room and I truly can’t say enough good things about this place!! The atmosphere, the food, the hospitality was 10000/10!! Ally the manager, Hibbah the pastry chef, our server Toni, Mayya, everyone went above and beyond for us truly. It’s been 2 days and my family and I are still talking about how amazing the food and desserts were. Hibbah and Ally were in constant contact leading up to the event making sure everything was taken care of. I will be referring all my friends and family here and I will be definitely coming back for the amazing food and sweets! Thanks again for everything. If I could give 100 stars I would!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was the first time that we had visited Big View in several years. It’s not very close to home for us, and the last dining experience there wasn’t great. I’m really glad that we decided to stop by. Andrew was our server, and he was great. We ordered 3 kids meals: the French toast with sausage, chicken tenders with fries, and steak with fries. Andre said he had never seen such a big portion steak for a kids menu item when he delivered it to the table. We hadn’t either! It was my son’s luck day because he’s a meat lover. His steak was cooked to temp correctly. The other kids meals were enjoyed. We also ordered a gyro and chicken souvlaki. Both are served with fries. Our beverages were replenished when needed. The kids menu items come with a dessert, so my kids chose the chocolate chip cookies. The meal was very reasonably priced. It’s difficult for our family of 5 to go anywhere and eat for less than $100. We will be back soon.
Home style cooking at a high level. The place itself is so inviting. Excellent service! Never had a bad meal here. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Breakfast weekends are busy so be prepared to wait. It’s a hidden gem! The desserts and cakes are legendary! Go here now!
I have been coming here for years and the food has never disappointed me. The chicken tender are honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The fries are just okay. Their chicken noodle soup is so comforting. When I got my wisdom teeth out I ate it every day. The prices have become outrageous though, especially for the soup.
Our family of 4 came in for dinner on a Saturday. The host was pleasant, and we were seated quickly. Our server Kat was the absolute best! She was very attentive and gave exceptional service. The food came out quickly, and the portion sizes were good. My fish was seasoned well and super crispy. Everyone enjoyed their food. We would definitely recommend this place.
Like other Google reviewers, I was fascinated by the high reviews, but it must be mostly due to the prices because the food wasn't really anything that stood out. I mean, it wasn't bad. We all enjoyed our meals, but it wasn't necessarily so great that we would return for the food specifically. The desserts must come frozen and not made in their bakery. Or if they are they must be kept frozen because the Big View Chocolate Cake was still frozen upon receiving and it made it very dry. The atmosphere is fun--lots of mirrors to magnify the space and high ceilings. The staff was pretty good too--very friendly.
Food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. If u haven't tried this place...u r short changing your taste buds...the Mac and cheese needed a little help
I have always loved diner's and this one is unlike any diner I've been to so far. It looked more like up scale dining inside and the food is so down homemade looking and tasting. I had the mushroom meatloaf with mashed potatoes and French style green beans with the fried green tomatoes appetizer and finished with the $12 brownie sundae! Lol totally worth it
The new owners have really improved the old place. I grabbed a slice of Peanut Butter Cheesecake for my wife's birthday. Exceptionally good!
Update: I had to remove one star. I asked for well-done crispy fries. I was given half a portion of non-crispy fries and half warmed-up in a microwave fries, which were disgusting. Our server remedied the kitchen's error, but the disgusting food shouldn't have made it to the table.
Love the food.. friendly staff... wonderful service... good choices in kids menu...
Mondays kids eat free...
Had a great experience here!! Ate at the Bar. Timothy was Awesome and took great care of us!! He was super busy and still gave us his full attention! His drinks looked and tasted incredible!
Host and our server were nice and could give us good recommendations of the food.
The food itself was pretty good, only negative thing was that the fried mac&cheese balls were still cold in the middle. They were tasty but maybe needed a few more minutes. The food in general took very long to came out even tho it seemed not crazy busy. The cheesecake they make was delicious.
Bathrooms need a bit more cleaning.
Will come back to try the breakfast.
This was a lovely experience. The family and I went here last night and had some really nice food. Typically, when you think about a diner you think greasy spoon style place, limited presentation, staff who are there for the money and not the customers, and rubbish coffee. That is not the case with The Big View. Think upscaled versions of diner favorites.
We started with some onion rings which are quite possibly the best onion rings I have ever had. Beautifully crispy, not super greasy, thick breading, and a house dipping sauce that keeps you coming back for more.
I had a patty melt with an added fried egg, it came on house baked, griddled rye and was excellent. Fries were beautiful and crispy too.
My wife had the English Breakfast Burger minus the bacon plus mushroom. This was a monster of a burger but was really excellent. She had the sweet potato fries which were also very nice.
Daughter had the kids sliders with broccoli and ate it all up without so much as a sound. She loved it!
Lastly, we took home a monstrous slice of Oreo Cheesecake that was incredibly rich and must be shared by at least two people. It was very nice and something you'll want to take your time to enjoy.
Finally, I would like to make a comment on the staff. This was the hardest working group of restaurant workers I have seen in an extremely long time. Not only that, they seemed to all really be enjoying themselves, lots of good camaraderie which led to great customer service and, therefore, happy customers.
Our server, Timothy was amazing. Very attentive and friendly. We had a problem with our first dinner, it was over fried and tasted fishy, which isn’t good when you order chicken fried steak. He didn’t hesitate to send it back and get us a different dinner. If the rest of the staff here are like Timothy, this is one lucky diner!
Service was fast at 7:00pm on a Wednesday. They were out of ciabatta bread so I had to replace it with brioche. Mac n cheese was really good but food wasn’t hot. I think maybe their food it’s better for breakfast. It was good but not the greatest
