1901 Commonwealth Avenue, Charlotte, NC 28205

Old-fashioned 50s style diner -- a favorite with the older crowd.
Originally opened in 1945 when Commonwealth Avenue was directly accessible from Independence Boulevard, the sign made it visible from the busy thoroughfare, even though it was the next block over. Current owner Jerry Pistiolis purchased the business from the original owners in 1982 (brothers James, Robert and Ross James, who took over from their parents after World War II).
