What is Mustang Charlie’s Diner?
Mustang Charlie’s Diner is a unique and welcoming diner experience nestled inside the Crossroads Ford dealership in Apex, North Carolina. Originally born from a popular food truck in 2018, Mustang Charlie’s has grown into a beloved local spot known for its authentic “Trash Plates” — a Rochester, NY classic — alongside a full menu of all-day breakfast, brunch, and diner favorites made with fresh ingredients. With its casual atmosphere, friendly service, and creative comfort food, the diner offers something delicious for everyone, whether you’re grabbing a hearty breakfast, enjoying lunch with friends, or simply stopping by for a taste of nostalgia.
