Tanners is another one of those spots with long standing roots in the Charlotte area that have had a few locations over the years.  They're a soul food restaurant that serves breakfast all day along with menu items like salads, sandwiches, hotdogs, burgers, fries, and seafood platters.  The soul food buffet is served daily and includes baked chicken, fried chicken, ribs, fish, meatloaf, mac and cheese, greens and other staples priced at $7.99 which includes tea.  Desserts include a selection of pound cake and pie.  The breakfast menu includes chicken and waffles, fish and grits, and shrimp and grits.  I tried the chicken and waffles and as much as I love waffles I hate soft waffles so I was disappointed but the chicken was ok. The staff was very nice and there seemed to be lots of regulars coming in and out...but be warned there is low sanitation grade gracing the wall....
