    Breakfast special- eggs over easy, home fries, sausage and biscuits w/ white gravy.
    Brian V.

    This place came recommended from a friend who frequents this place because it is near his office. It also had 4 stars with ample number of reviews and was listed as one $ which is rare in Matthews. I sat at a booth on the side with the fireplace and my barber just happened to be at the table in front of me. He recommended the special so I followed suit. It came with 2 eggs, choice of meat, choose of hash browns, home fries or grits and toast or biscuits and I added white gravy. This was indeed a solid hearty breakfast for a great price. There is nothing fancy about this place but after my first experience and now having 2 friend vouch for it, I think it's safe to say that they provide a good service and consistent food in an inviting homey atmosphere. The coffee was good and they kept my cup full the entire time I was seated. Enough said. Give it a try.

    Americana restaurant, I got no problem with it.This family style restaurant is clean,nice and well ran. Had the iron skillet breakfast. I got no problem with it. My wife had two eggs bacon and home fries with toast. She got no problem with it. I had a side of biscuits and gravy. I got no problem with it.I had a glass of sweet tea, I got no problem with it.I also had a side of grits with cheese. I got a problem with that, that's why you lost one star. The grits tasted like Quaker Oats and they put a slice of cheese in it and didn't mix it up. Americana restaurant overall I got no problem with it. Lol May God Bless all my fellow foodies Always.

    Yuck! This was about the worst breakfast I've had in a long time. First off about 1/4 of the staff is wearing a mask and that small percentage isn't wearing them properly. Second the service is subpar. Our server didn't make sure the lid was on top of my nieces cup and she spilled it 2 twice. She wasn't attentive, didn't wear a mask and didn't account for the mistake she made on our order. Third was the food. No one in my family enjoyed their food. No one completed a dish. We ordered 2 Western omelettes (1 with grits and toast the other with hashbrowns and toast), 2 Country Fried Steaks (both with grits, eggs and toast). The toast was cold at arrival to the table. I wouldn't say I will be coming back here anytime soon. Americana Restaurant 1628 Matthews Mint Hill Rd, Matthews, NC 28105 Saturday May 15, 2021 9am (Review 493 overall, 37 in 2021)

    More on this pork chop later! Delicious.

    This little diner is a gem for sure, and not a well-hidden one either. Not for night owls, come early for the specials and come often for they change every day. You'll be spoiled for choice with the many vegetable sides offered and spoiled for sweets as well with several lovely handmade desserts in the cooler. In the City full of great diners, this one is darn near the top! A favorite for locals, and a treat for those visiting from out of town. Come in and enjoy the excellent pork chops and Superior service.

    I am in the area frequently to visit family and this place is very close to where I stay. The location isn't anything out of an architecture magazine-but the food and service are fantastic. I opted for over medium eggs during both visits and they were perfect. My coffee mug was never empty. The wait staff is polite and attentive. I will keep returning.

    Thank you to Sean at Metro Diner for making my pickup order experience great! I was picking up a…read morespecial lunch order for my team in recognition of Employee Appreciation, and Sean took the extra time to make sure everything was perfect. He double-checked that the order was correct and made sure I had extra utensils, condiments, and everything we needed. That level of service really stands out. It meant a lot to me because this was something special I was doing for my team, and Sean helped make sure it went smoothly. Thank you again! Although I didn't get pictures of the food this time, everything was amazing. I will definitely be back and will take pictures next time. Please check them out, won't be disappointed.

    First and foremost, I want to preface by saying I believe in second chances and redemption, not…read moretrickery and bribes. Typically, when someone from a restaurant reaches out to me about my review, especially when they are not 5 star, I instantly become skeptical. However, this owner made me feel comfortable to share my thoughts and explain how my visit went before anything else. Over the years, I have received tons of owners offering me a free meal in exchange for my integrity but I could tell this owner was extremely genuine and wanted to make sure my voice was heard. The initial post will remain the same but I wanted to amend some of the initial remarks including the service. The first time I tried this place, I received service that was not in alignment to the core values and standards this restaurant upholds, which, I am human and I have worked in food service for years so trust me, I get it. Since being back twice since my initial visit, I have been treated like family. The service has been up to par and the staff has been incredibly friendly. As far as the ambiance, it gives the feel of an old diner which makes it charming and lovable. Perhaps, some restorations and furnishings can be done nothing that isn't manageable. Lastly, I wanted to make sure to do a thorough review of the menu so when I went back twice after my initial review, I tried a menu item for each the breakfast menu and the dinner menu. The food was great! It was favorable, warm and packed with fresh ingredients. I tried the ribs and Mac and cheese as well as a breakfast plate on two separate occasions without letting the restaurant know I was coming back for a remake. The only thing I wasn't super thrilled about was the Mac and Cheese, other than that it was good. It goes to saying that their standards are commendable as they do care about their service, food and experience of the customers.
