    Breakfast fried rice
    Evelyn M.

    Florida Room is the exact vibe you want for a breakfast/brunch spot. It feels like a cozy diner, but elevated by the cohesive decor. The staff is so friendly and helpful; however, the food did take forever to come out. It looked like that happened only to our table, so it might not be the rule, but it did make the experience slightly less good. That said, the food when it did come out was amazing! It was so tasty. The breakfast fried rice was incredible. It tasted fantastic I was so excited.

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Erick F.

    I left my visit with expectations exceeded. The location is great centrally located in downtown. The staff was super friendly. I order the biscuits and gravy that comes with fried chicken tenders on top. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was fried perfectly, juicy, and well seasoned. The biscuit were soft and buttery. The gravy was seasoned great although I wish it had more sausage but overall delicious. The home fries were nice and crispy. This is such a great location to come grab breakfast

    Perfecto vibe for this lovely Friday morning. Super cute diner with a little modern take. Food was good but wish there were more budget friendly options, also I would've loved a pancake but there weren't any. Service was great our server let me swap out my sides for a biscuit which was litty. Perfect brekky option come give it a try!!!

    mushroom omelette
    Caroline B.

    this place is pretty good! our service was quick and it was super fun to sit outside. i got the mushroom and spinach omelette with side salad and sourdough bread. which was DELICIOUS! the food here is great. however, the only thing was that there were lots of bugs outside, so it made me freak out a bit haha. but went inside and then it was all better!

    The ambiance of the restaurant was amazing! Our server was incredibly nice. The food was good, but unfortunately it did not sit right with me, and I was sick for the rest of the day. I would give it a second chance, but I didn't have the best first experience

    Cheesy grits tots
    Ally A.

    The food was fresh and delicious, and the menu items were unique and varied. I had the smoked turkey sandwich, which came with kettle chips. We also ordered these fried cheesy grits, and they were so good!

    I loved everything about this place. The food! The decor! The service! Amazing choices for breakfast and lunch. Cheese grits were heavenly. So many great looking baked treats in the display case I wish I had picked up. Only bad thing is that its 2 1/2 hours away from where I live.

    This place was NOT it. Beautiful decor wasn't enough to save the experience thanks to the poor service. Food was fine. We got served cold chewy pastries, food was slow to come out, refill for a water was non-existent. The person that sat us had the warmth and welcome of my chewy pastry. But hey decor is definitely on point and food was fine. Not rushing to come back.

    Spinach and Mushroom Omelette
    Allison W.

    Amazing food and experience! The Florida Room is truly a hidden gym. I can't tell you how many times I've driven past this place and thought "hm, I wonder what that is." After 3 years of living in GNV I finally checked it out and I'm so glad I did. The atmosphere is great with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. On top of that, the food is incredible. Highly recommend the omelette. Will be coming back!

    Chicken Biscuit
    Nicole B.

    Elevated casual dining experience with prices that reflected that. Interior was aesthetically pleasing and cute for dressing up and taking photos. Background music was a little louder than my group and I preferred and felt overly stimulating at times. Food was delicious, and the menu had a lot of options for those who favor savory brunch foods such as myself. I saw a variety of pastries like scones and brownies displayed at the counter but didn't get a chance to try them out--looked enticing, though! Loco moco was good but could've come with more gravy and flavor. The fried grits tots were a yummy appetizer but reminded me more of mac and cheese bites in texture and consistency and less like a tot and I was hoping for a better balance if not more tot-focused. Good to try once but don't feel a need to order again. I'd introduce this spot to family and friends visiting town or if I had an occasion to celebrate and wanted to do so with/at brunch.

    Avocado toast
    Alyssa M.

    The ambiance in here is very cute! Definitely a great brunch vibe and cute decorations. The food, however, was subpar and very overpriced. It was tasty, but could have been much better especially for how expensive everything is. The service was good and our waitress was pretty helpful, though the food did take a long time to come out.

    Shakshuka Rancheros
    Rachel K.

    I got the Shakshuka Rancheros. It was pretty good -- eggs were perfect and everything was delicious! The wait time was about 35 minutes when we got there, but we just grabbed coffee elsewhere and came back! The service wasn't quite as welcoming as we expected, but they were busy.

I had a lavender oat milk latte and this might be one of the best coffees in Gainesville. Their pastries are also not to be missed the guava pastry is a favorite of ours. Pros: flaky delicate pastry crust. Excellence balance of cheese to jam. Filling. Would order again! Cons: sticky fingers Cinnamon rolls The frosting is very thick and delightful. It was originally brought out cold and then they warmed it up upon request. The layers were sweet but not overly so. I got the French omelet and the egg was perfectly fluffy. My friends got the whipped feta toast, the veggie breakfast burrito and the breakfast bowl.

I entered the restaurant at 9:15 am with my guest and were seated promptly. Our server proceeded with our drink order in which we requested a vanilla and brown sugar iced latte and lemonade. My vanilla and brown sugar latte was made well and was quite refreshing. The lemonade was a bit sweet but overall a good beverage. However, as our experience continued it became a bit of a let down. We ordered the Dutch baby with seasonal fruit, the big break, a cinnamon roll, and the afternoon hash. From time of placing the order to receiving our food was an overall total of 45 minutes. A bit of a long wait for breakfast/brunch style items. The cinnamon roll was not done well whatsoever, the roll itself was over kneaded which created a thick and heavy dough. Not the fluffy type of cinnamon roll you would expect. When our food did come out the Dutch baby was partly burnt, it did not taste as such but it was a bit flat in regard to taste. The potatoes in the hash and the big break were burnt. I wouldn't consider it crispy because they were so overcooked I could barely get my fork to go through. The taste of the hollandaise did redeem the dish a tad, however for $90 including tip it was not the dining experience I would come back to.

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.

For example seared in olive oil is mentioned but they leave out it's been marinated in herbs and vegetable oil prior. However an undressed salad and grill item like a prime rib were supposedly not pre marinated. So for the folks trying to eliminate inflammatory seeds oils from their diets or those with soybean or peanut allergies you need to stay away. Since blended cooking oils or vegetable oil can def contain both. Atmosphere is casual and interesting with all the football history about. I'm adding menu pictures but we just had drinks with friends and when the food arrived for those not caring about vegetable oil etc we left.
