text: I will start by saying this, the midnight Diner is probably one of the better staple restaurants in Charlotte. However my experience tonight did not reflect that. After being sat and refused to change my order by our server, Ashley - we then received beyond mediocre service.  Feeling somewhat stereotyped into the mold of \"black people don't tip\". Luckily a server by the name of Larry a.k.a \"Showtime\" managed to salvage what remained of an otherwise horrible experience. He definitely exempified the prototype of what anyone would call excellent service. Needless to say our server received no tip. Hopefully she learns something from her peers. Definitely will be back...and requesting \"Showtime\" as our server for the duration of his tenure there.
