Steele Creek Cafe

Love the breakfast special. 2 eggs cooked your way, your choice of meat, toast or biscuit, hash-​browns or grits. I would give them 5 stars but I always request my hash-​browns to be cooked «softly» but they never honor my request.

So I was in the area decided to stop in and have breakfast. I ordered a pancake and two scrambled eggs. First off let me say that my meal came up to 8 dollars and the woman failed to notify me that there was a special for 6 dollars for the same exact thing I ordered (I over heard another lady telling another customer about the special which was 2 pancakes 2 eggs one meat=6 bucks) like why didn’t she offer me that to save a couple bucks but whatever. Poor customer service. Next my eggs were wayyyyy undercooked for scrambled eggs with cheese. How does that happen? The food wasn’t that good. Very bland. Needless I won’t return.

I work 2 miles from Steele Creek Café. I really can’t afford to eat out every day, but honestly,
it is worth the $ to go here, not only for the food, but for the customer service. I really don’t mind going a little out of my budget, just to walk into this place and feel their hospitality.
The entire staff is always friendly, sweet and welcoming. It’s a great atmosphere. And the food? Divine. Period. Never had a bad meal here. Best diner I’ve ever experienced.

This is our go to spot post workout on Saturdays. The food is cooked to order and the staff is awesome.
I’m a big eater. So my favorite meal is the breakfast special that I add two extra eggs to (for a total of 4 eggs) and hash browns. The biscuits that come with the breakfast special are delicious. But, get there early, because they’re made fresh and they’ll run out if you wait too long.
I can’t say enough kind words about the women who work the front counter at this place. They work their tails off and do an excellent job. Plus, they put up with us rowdy CrossFitters every Saturday and never bat an eye. The kitchen staff is really friendly too. You can see them diligently working through the pass through window and they often smile and wave at us regulars.
When my parents came to visit I didn’t take them to tupelo honey or any of those overdone and high priced places. I took them here, for an authentic Charlotte experience.

Love this place. Great place to spot for a quick, good breakfast. I love to come in here because they are quick, friendly and the amount of food for the price is perfect! Sweet tea is good but my favorite breakfast item is their toast. I don’t know why but it is always perfect!!!

Ordered takeout breakfast with my colleagues and there was a white/​gray hair in my food 0_​o Never ever again will I eat here! Eww! Hair nets, clean hands and proper sanitation is so very important. I hope no one else has an experience like that here.

The staff was so friendly I hate only giving it 2 stars, but… The food was lackluster. It was freshly cooked, but lacked flavor. The beef tips over rice had no sauce so it was dry. The phili cheese steak was just okay. You could taste more egg than cheese in the macaroni and cheese. On a high note, the onion rings were great. It looks like many reviews were for breakfast, maybe their breakfast is better.

Cannot complain about this place. The food is always consistent, the staff is always friendly/​helpful, and the portions are great for the price. By far one of the best lunch choices in the S. Tryon area!

Wonderful comfort food just as momma and granny made it. Excellent prices for the quality as well as quantity.

A hidden gem. I have lived in the area close to 4 years and last weekend was my first trip to SCC. I loved it. I had the «Carolina» burger with onion rings. YUM! The onion rings were homemade. My burger was cooked perfect. I believe the only comment for improvement would be their sweet tea. It tasted instant and not brewed. I love a good Southern brewed sweet iced tea.

My family eats here quite often. The staff is friendly and the food is always good. Our faves are the Calabash Shrimp plate & the Gyro plate. We’ve never had a veggie there that we didn’t like. The kids really like the mac & cheese. The portions are generous & the prices are very reasonable. We will keep coming back.

I had hoped this neighborhood café would be a surprising gem in Steele Creek. After all, if I can support local, independent businesses AND get a good meal, that’s a win. Alas, Steele Creek Café, like most of Steele Creek, just didn’t wow me.
I ordered the breakfast special, a typical eggs, meat, bread combo. The eggs were okay (hard to screw up scrambled eggs). The sausage was dry and lacked flavor. The huge serving of hash browns was bland, and the biscuit was so-​so.
To be fair, the café is on Westinghouse Blvd. and caters to the hard-​working blue collar folks who work in this industrial area of Southwest Charlotte, where a good values trumps gourmet dining. Still, I grew up on greasy spoons and all-​night diners, and I was hoping for more of a warm-​you-​up, fill-​you-​up meal… not good for you, but oh so good. My quest for a true Steele Creek eatery with character continues.

Was very simple, stopped in for breakfast. Food was ok and the staff was very friendly. Service was quick and food was hot.

Unassuming place, clean, friendly staff. Order @ the counter & food is delivered to the table. Good portions served hot and tasty. See popcorn shrimp & breakfast special pics!

Stopped in here on the way to doing errands for some home-​style cooked breakfast. I was extremely pleased. it’s not haute cuisine, but it’s also far from the chain restaurants and fast food eateries around town.
I ordered a Western omelet with hash browns and dry toast and that’s what was on my tray when my number was called. Good size, with plenty of cheese and fillings. A big pile of delish food where you can actually sit down for a bit, read the paper and get change back from a $ 10.
I’ll be back!

Local favorite. Wife and I been coming here for years. Breakfast special is my fav!

Great home cooked food. Consistent and always tasty. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, it’s a great place to stop. A mainstay in the area. Clean facility and courteous staff.

Four stars for the greens not cooked with fat back. Yum!

Welcome to the home of southern comfort, huge portions, great flavors and friendly service… Oh, did I mention how cheap it was!!!
My fiancé and I came here to grab breakfast before my meetings, and we had no idea on how it was going to go. I got the home special for 5 bucks, and my fiancé got a mix and match of stuff.
Tell’ya what, they gave us a HUGE serving plate full of eggs, grits, toast and meat, and let me tell you, everything was delicious! Sadly we could not finish it all, so we took our coffees (free re-​fills) and hit the bricks. Total tab, about 12 bucks!
My future head quarters is right down the street, and you can bet your sweet southern style tail feather I will be back!

Went at dinner, they were not busy but they were very attentive. The service was very friendly and fabulous.
They have so many side choices. I tried the onion rings (which were outstanding) and the fried squash (which was fresh and fantastic).
They had a ton of choices all over the Americana map. I tried the jumbo fried shrimp and they were also very good.
I didn’t find many health food conscious choices… but to be honest I sort of fell off the wagon once I saw all of the delicious fried goodness they were offering. They may have these choices.
Hot food, outstanding service, and an extremely reasonable price. It seemed to me (from Cincinnati) to be one of the few local businesses that were not a chain. Support your local business and give Steele Creek a whirl, you wont be disappointed.
