I visited Puncy's back in Nov 2007. I happened to be in Kannapolis for 2 weeks and decided to give this place a shot, I'm glad I did. I first selected it because it was on The Dale Trail. This is the restaurant with the sandwich named after Dale Earnhardt. This restaurant is owned by Punchy Whitaker, and Dale Sr actually worked for Punchy was back in the early 70s in Punchys Wheel and Tire Service shop. The service was great, and so was the food. I ordered the chicken salad with extra ranch, fabulous! The sweet tea was great, I think it was so good I have 6 glasses or so! Punchy's Diner is themed to look like an old 50's diner. It clearly stated on the front of the menu, as you can see in my photo, that if you are unhappy, ask for the owners. I highly doubt you'll be unhappy with Punchy's Diner! You can't beat the price, food and speed of service!
