    Brisket, macaroni, potato hash, John's Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Michelle B.

    Food was amazing. The staff were so incredibly friendly and kind! Had a wonderful experience.

    Brisket and sides

    The brisket is 4 star level, but the overall experience is 2 star. So I give this place 3 stars. I appreciate the food being flavorful, and sauces made available at each table. But for the love of God, please stop skimping portions. In 2026 people absolutely hate "shrinkflation." Chill out with the sugar in the sauces too.

    This was our first time at this establishment. The food was amazing. Staff help and polite gave us recommendations what popular and delicious. I had Texas sausage sandwich . It's was smoked to perfection . My two side were French fries nice and crispy , roasted corn was out of this world. My wife had brisket sandwich it was nice and lean, she loved the mustard barbecue sauce and pumpkin barbecued sauce . Her two side were jalapeño & cheddar corn bread which very tasty and right amount of jalapeño's and bread pudding was so delicious. The manager and staff were outstanding.

    Looks great but very disappointing!

    Very disappointed with my last experience!!! This is usually my go to whenever leaving Tampa driving back to Atlanta. From previous visits they were pretty good, but my last one was absolutely terrible! Not sure what changed but hopefully it gets resolved. The brisket was tough and the ribs texture rubbery. The picture looks great but the quality was a total let down.

    Always love coming here because I love that even as a Steakhouse, they have veggie options I always gi for the burnt ends and they never disappoint, but even better os their dessert selection. They are always having new seasonal items and I had gotten their mojito cupcake. Not only did it look absolutely adorable (look at the little straw) but it tasted good too. have had their coconut bomb too and that is amazing.

    Pulled pork and Brisket 2x2 AWESOME!

    Food to die for, tender and juicy ! Price is on point ! With both indoor and outdoor seating...

    1/2 Rack Baby Back Ribs 2 Sides Southern Coleslaw add on on the bone 1/1/4 Smoked Chicken
    Nicole H.

    First time at this restaurant. No line wait time. Walk up and order your food. Greeted with smiles. Server was helpful and knowledgeable. Food was hands down absolutely delicious. True southern tastings. Warning... just be cautious when squirting the bbq sauce. The pepper flakes clog the tip causing explosions with sauce everywhere.

    TONS AND TONS of seating!

    This place has Sonny's beat all to hell. Portion sizes are twice that of Sonny's and the flavor is what BBq is supposed to taste like.

I went with a friend and funny enough this time I went with the same friend. I noticed their menu changed in a good way and they have some great offerings. The menu has a great variety, and I went with the regular Korean breakfast (Korean rice platter). It choose bulgogi as my protein, and it came with rice, a perfectly cooked egg, a fresh side salad, and even a small chicken wing. The flavors were spot on, especially the bulgogi, which was tender and well-seasoned. I split it with my friend and got hash browns and an extra egg for her. It was enough to fill us both granted we also had matcha on the way there. Generous portion for sure for us. Service was friendly and efficient, though the small space can fill up quickly, so plan accordingly. Overall, a great place for a hearty, flavorful meal. Would definitely come back!

Our server was very nice and she answered all of our questions, of which we had many! We were able to sit outside on a nice spring morning before it got too hot. It wasn't the greatest since it's near the main road but they do have a lot of greenery up so you can't see it but you do hear it. I would love to have another one of those sandwiches again!

    Last minute breakfast decision and wow I am so pleased that we decided on the Metro Diner!…read more As soon as we pulled up I had a good feeling about this place and I'll be honest coming from New York I miss my diners! Needless to say this the Metro diner truly surpassed my expectations. We walked in and were greeted immediately and asked if we would like to sit outside which is a covered area or indoors. We chose inside given it being a hot humid day and wanting that extra comfort. The vibe felt amazing with all the smiles and yes even though busy all the wait staff was hopping doing their business! We were seated and told about the specials and given the menu. I was unsure what I wanted because I think I could have eaten a little bit of everything! I did ask the waitress a couple of suggestions and one of them was the pancakes I had chosen. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day! How cool is that and rare. They had a chicken and waffle special that was actually half a chicken ( pieces ) fried with Belgium waffles, powdered sugar and sweet strawberry butter served with their signature sweet and spicy sauce. I'll be honest when I had seen someone else get their plate I was surprised. It looked absolutely incredible and well tremendous. On their specials they had banana pudding pancakes or waffles, this also sounded amazing. It had walnuts, butter and powdered sugar and definitely banana. I am most certainly glad that I chose this as it was incredibly. Super fluffy, flavorful and the banana was not overwhelming there was a perfect balance of flavors. There was a sauce on them that I assume was the banana pudding. It was light and just enough to not overpower the pancake itself. We had also ordered croissant French toast and my son absolutely loved them. They were crispy on the outside yet fluffy and flavorful with a fantastic texture topped with some powdered sugar. Some ordered hash browns, these were also delicious and homemade with a great texture and the portion like all the other dishes pretty large. We had all tried the biscuits and gravy. These too were delicious with such a nice balance of flavors. The biscuits indeed homemade. We were all very pleased with everything. Some eggs over easy and bacon cooked perfectly. The coffee honestly the best I've had in years. I'm a coffee drinker and I cannot figure this coffee was outstanding! I had four cups and wish for more ha ha. Best of all I must compliment the service. I have not been to a restaurant of any sort with such attentive service, quality service as we received here in years. The waitress kept refilling my coffee and water, brought my son more soda ( even a container to take his home ) asked everyone if they needed anything at appropriate times and was extremely kind and considerate. I will be back and I highly recommend the Metro Diner for a great meal, quality service and relaxed environment that you will enjoy.
