We had a decent experience at Metro Diner! We were told there would be a 10-15 minute wait, but it…read morewas actually closer to two minutes, which was a pleasant surprise. We sat outside under the overhang, which was comfortable and enjoyable. One person ordered the huevos rancheros, while the other two had the avocado toast with feta cheese. Everything was delicious, and the portions were HUGE--so much food that I actually had to take someone home with me! One note for management: please don't wash the tables while guests are eating. I completely understand the importance of cleaning the tables, especially between customers, but the smell from the sponges and cleaning products was really unpleasant while we were trying to enjoy our meal. Maybe cleaning the tables before or after the dining period would help. Overall, a good meal, quick seating, friendly service, and very generous portions. We'll definitely be back! But please listen to my suggestion!

Upon entering, dirty tables everywhere and it was so hard to find a clean table to sit at. Dirty floors, dirty windows, buffet with people hovering over it while standing in line to pay their bill. It's ok to have an older restaurant but they must keep it clean! My husband never uses a straw, but he did today - scared the cup may be dirty...we know some folks that come here so we stayed because we just needed to see if it got better and why they come...it's a hard no! Long wait, extremely salty food, sad presentation of the food appearance. I had images of the kitchen in my head after seeing the front of the house. We've never been to Cross City - assuming it's a fishing town - which is cool but other than that, not much here. The pros - waitress was nice and seemed to like her job. I liked all the patriotic decorations. Well we were really hoping to like this establishment, but not for us, oh well, we came, we tasted, we saw, and now we move on.
