The service was good and the food was good and reasonably priced. This is the only reason why I gave them two stars instead of one. But let's face it! No matter how good the food taste, who wants to eat on a dirty table, on a dirty floor with a dirty menu? I don't and won't be back. BTW, I went to wash my hands and the bathroom was no exception - Dirty! On checkout I was able to get a partial view of the kitchen and guess what! DIRTY. I WON'T BE BACK!

I pass by this place all the time when I'm in the villages, yesterday was my first time coming in…read more The environment is very nice and inviting, it's super cold inside so bring a jacket or a blanket. I didn't know that you have to sign in with your name and how many people are in your party. There's not a lot of seating so space is limited. It took about 20 minutes before we got our seat. The menu sounds really good. The portions are huge, and pretty price for the food. I was surprised. I ordered the cherry pancakes because it said it came with a cherry glaze so I thought it would be like a powdered sugar and milk glaze no the fake cherries and jam you buy in a can. I wasn't a fan of the cherries but the pancakes were actually very delicious I enjoyed the regular pancakes. The potatoes were not crispy and flavorless, I wasn't the biggest fan of the eggs. My boyfriend enjoyed his gravy and biscuits a lot I tried it and I thought it was a little undercooked but he liked it a lot. The coffee was good nice service. For this food we sort $39 before tip, and I was waiting for like 15 minutes before I realized you have to take your receipt to the cashier however I didn't get a recipe so I just walked up there and my waitress lost out receipt. Overall I give it a 3/5 maybe you will like the food. Try it out!

Great service and food!!…read more The greeter and server were excellent.

The dining car definitely is the place to sit for the full experience. However, seating is limited and it fills quickly during meal times. Beware-the picnic tables come with a slightly weathered statue of Elvis Presley that may seem creepy to some. We chose to share the black-bottomed burger. It's a delicious mixture of egg, hamburger, cheese, and onions. It's hard to describe but truly tasty. The chili cheese fries were a bit soggy but the chili and cheese were pretty good. The shake was thick and creamy. The extra chocolate syrup was a nice touch. Service is friendly and efficient.

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.

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.
