Staff is also very attentive and friendly anytime we visit. I was craving something hearty so compromised on a chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes as well as the goat cheese and spinach salad. The meal was great, paired with fresh squeezed orange juice, but just wish the chicken fried steak had a little more flavor. The salad was great and everything else I've tried from here has been amazing, especially from the breakfast menu. While waiting, they also bring cornbread and biscuits to help hold you over until the main course. P.S. lots of parking behind the building.

Over the years, They have added grilled items that are quite tasty, but Ima go for the fried anything along with mashies, baked beans, etc. The chicken and dumplings are heaven on earth anytime of the year. Prices are decent, considering the economy these days. If you dine in, there's staff that are happy to help you get your grub to the table, will make sure you have butter and honey for the fluffy buns, and smile no matter how busy it gets. Leaving a buck or 2 is not expected, but a nice gesture for their efforts. Blanca sez check'em out!

Today, I had a doctor's appointment nearby and looked forward to a return visit. Unfortunately my food was disappointing. I ordered 3 eggs, cinnamon roll and coffee. The best part of the meal was the coffee which was tasty and fresh. The eggs were good. Nothing special but hot and tasty. However, the cinnamon roll - which is the reason I came here - was tasteless and very stale. I won't be back. I can get coffee and average eggs anywhere. If they are serving stale pastries, the place is no longer special.

After waiting in the car with the pager, we returned while it was still buzzing, only to be told our seats had been given away and that we needed to wait outside in the sun so we wouldn't "miss" our name again. After finally being seated, we waited over an hour for food that arrived cold and without utensils, while tables seated after us received visibly hot meals. To make matters worse, the waitress spilled hot coffee on my brother. We were offered a remake, but after waiting that long, we were done waiting. When we raised our concerns, our only option was to wait even longer to speak with a manager. The rolls and cornbread were good, but unfortunately that was the highlight. We're now home reheating our food just to make it edible. Very disappointing, especially since we came to celebrate a birthday. Hopefully this was just a bad day, because this level of service was unacceptable.

I'd eaten there once about a decade ago and found it unremarkable. Turns out, not much has changed. Service was quick, and the food was fine, but the menu was oddly limited. No classic CFS sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or okra were available. Instead, it came with a side salad, or fries and toast. (Toast felt like a strange substitution for rolls, but ok fine.) The staff was accommodating, though their overall vibe was rough around the edges. The interior has that old-school diner look, but it feels worn down and not well maintained. Given their location near a busy intersection with new apartments and housing going up all around, Metro Diner has the potential to thrive. But it doesn't seem like they've realized that yet.

After a minute or two, our waitress welcomed us and seated us in the back of the restaurant. It was a little surprising since there weren't many customers and there were plenty of open tables and booths up front where everyone else was sitting. That said, our waitress was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. I ordered the chicken fried steak with two over-medium eggs and hash browns, along with a side of biscuits and gravy. The coffee was pretty average, but that's something I've come to expect from many restaurants. Unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. My eggs were undercooked, the chicken fried steak lacked seasoning and flavor, and the hash browns were also pretty bland. The standout, however, was the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were buttery and soft on the inside with perfectly crisp edges, and the gravy was delicious. They were easily the best thing we ordered. While I wasn't impressed with the rest of the meal, I'd honestly come back just for the biscuits and gravy. They were absolutely worth it.
