City Lunch,

115 Court Square, Lincolnton, NC 28092, United States

"This place is an awesome lil much spot. It's way old school and it's family owned and operated. City lunch is a place I have gone to since being a child and still love it as an adult"

"Small town eatery at its finest! Nothing fancy, continuing to do things the old school way. Got a hotdog and hamburger “All The Way” and it was amazing and quick. Service was great and had a great conversation with the wonderful ladies that worked there. Excited to come back and try their breakfast!"

"Stopped by from out of town based on reviews. Walked in and the girl behind the counter said it would be 30 minutes before I could even order! I was shocked. She indicated there were "25 sandwiches to make" and that I could sit at the bar and wait. Are you kidding me? I have never come across this in all my dining experiences. The place was dimly lit and people were eating off of styrofoam plates. Cannot comment on food as I didn't get any. Two stars cause I'm a nice guy. Guess if your not a local you are SOL"

"Maybe I'm not the one to ask, since I've only been coming here for parts of 7 decades...but, honestly...I cannot think of a better place to enjoy breakfast or lunch. The food is consistently great, and at ridiculously low prices. I've never gotten my fill of their famous hot dog. I've always just run out, or stopped from embarrassment. Breakfast is fantastic if you like hot, home cooking. Lunch menus are varied, and always offer good southern cooking, square meal plate lunches, as well as hot dogs, burgers and more. Heck, most people I know get the plate lunch and a dog or two. Burgers are a secret, and sometimes live in the shadow of the famous hot dogs, but they are first rate. Pro tip: order the stew beef sandwich when stew beef is on the menu...you'll get two pieces of bread with stewed beef inside and over the top. Mushy deliciousness. Dang. At the prices they charge, just get it all. There's a reason this family-owned cafe has been in business so long. It's good. Every time. Or at least that's what I've experienced for 55+ years. That photo is a livermush and egg on bun, with mayo and a tomato. I'll let you know when I get tired of it, lol. Oh, and it cost a total of $2.75, with the drink..."

"I have went to City lunch since I was very young. Their food has always been great. Their hotdogs and cheeseburgers are my favorites!!! I love the atmosphere in the restaurant. People are always so friendly and most of the time you’ll run into someone you know and get to catch up for a minute while you eat I definitely recommend City lunch for local people here or anyone wanting to try good food"
