The Diamond
The Diamond opened on Commonwealth Avenue in 1945 as the Diamond Soda Grill and is one of the oldest restaurants still running in Charlotte. Eighty years on it is still a brick diner turning out burgers, fried pork chops, fried chicken and meat-and-two plates. Charlotte Magazine keeps it in its restaurant listings.
