Phat Daddy's Cafe - Cafe in Matthews - 2741 Old Monroe Rd, USA

First time going here, tried it on a Sunday morning. Was no wait but a nice crowd. Walked in and the lady manning the front register wasn’t exactly the most welcoming. She assumed I was there for a pickup, asked what name was the order. I told her I’m there to eat inside. She gave me a menu and told me to seat myself. I did, took a good while for a server to come, I saw one couple leave because they didn’t get anyone to their table for a while after they sat down. But I wasn’t on a schedule so I waited it out. I had two different servers which I assumed were working all tables together. Both of them were delightful and friendly. I ordered a veggie omelette with hash browns. Both were good but I do wish the veggies were chopped down a bit smaller. I go to pay my ticket and same lady at the front register didn’t even ask how was my food/experience etc. just took the ticket, swiped my card with zero interaction. But in any case I’d go back simply because I did enjoy the flavor of the food and the two waitresses were sweethearts.

What an amazing spot. There is consistency with the food quality. Their omelets are amazing!!! I always add jalapeños. Coffee amazing, service amazing, clean, family friendly, priced appropriately-love it. I’ll be back again

Erin absolutely ROCKS! Service was fast and consistent. She was funny and friendly but still seemed to do the same for all her other tables. I'm not a rich person. So me and my friends try to find good places that have good food and don't break the bank. Especially LOCAL businesses. Food was really good and not crazy expensive. Kitchen was a little slow. If they could get that fixed they'd be the only place we'd go. But like I mentioned, service was fantastic. This place is really what all restaurants should try to be like. (And sit in Erin's section lol)

Please remove the “kid friendly” designation until you get a changing table in your restroom. When I arrived the hostess told me to sit wherever and I asked about high chairs, which she confirmed were available. I went to change my toddler (on a chair in the bathroom - nightmare) and came back to my table with still no high chair. I had to go get one myself while also carrying said toddler. The hostess returned to ask “what about your drink?” Which confused me because I hadn’t ordered a drink. I ordered an insert tea from her which she brought. She didn’t bring a menu at all, though. Our waitress was lovely! She apologized for me not having a menu and was especially considerate of my son’s egg allergy.

This has a hole in the wall feel. If you like a small diner atmosphere you will like this place. I would bet they have their regulars. I love their tuna sandwich. They have a pretty big selection on their menu. My only complaint is they close at 2! That is a bummer! I didn't realize this until recently, and was craving their tuna. But if you're an early riser, and can get in before 2. Check this place out.

If you want a nice down-home feel, this is the place to go. The waitresses remember your names, what you usually order, Erin the waittress is very nice. Be patient with staff sometimes for it does get very busy and they are trying their best. And do not be discouraged or turned off if desk person "seem" unwelcoming, she's not bad. no i was not paid to write this nor do I work or have any affiliatiom with them other than being a customer.

Food was good. We we're seated, received our food and that was it. Never saw them again. No refills on our drinks. There we're three other couples there.

It was the best flounder I ever had, and it was for breakfast. I also had eggs, grits, hashbrowns, & pancakes. Everything was delicious and tasted homemade. Not to mention, the tartar sauce was fabulous!
