Let me start with the good for my Metro Diner pick up order (placed one online and one through…read moreDoorDash): Order was ready on time The hostess in the bright green shirt at the front was very friendly and assisted me quickly Chicken tenders, creole mustard, green beans and fries were the star of the show today. I haven't had their chicken tenders before, but now realize I prefer it over the standard fried chicken solely because the flavor profile is better (more seasoned). I would order this again. Salad for my steak tips was as expected. I also redeemed a birthday reward for the chocolate cake. The bite I took was pretty good and it is easily a sharable portion size. Now for the not so good... My order through metro diners website consisted of steak tips, mash&gravy, garden salad with ranch. I personally would not order this again. Issue: The steak was chewy, flavor was bland and portion size seemed small for the value. My DoorDash order consisted of 1. Bissell breakfast with pancakes, scrambled eggs, cheese grits, bacon and a biscuit. 2. Small sausage gravy side 3. Chicken tenders plate with creole mustard, green beans and French fries. Issue: I quickly glanced through the see through lid of the boxes and noticed toast instead of a biscuit and no container that would have had the cheese grits. Went inside to notify the team and expo of missing items (also brought the bag back in). The expo called for these missing items from the kitchen. The cook glanced and then asked if he had a ticket for that? I managed restaurants for years so I get it when the kitchen asks this, however, the ticket was the one you made incorrectly and the expo did not check for correctness. The expo also stated "it is for a DoorDash order that she said is wrong". I'm happy this was a personal order because I got to see firsthand how it appears DD order issues are dismissed since they seemed to assume I was a driver. At least that is how the short exchange presented. They weren't rude it was the tone and lack of apology for my missing items. Mistakes happen. How you respond to and handle them matters. Fast forward - I get home and realize they must have simply switched my order with someone else's. There were hash browns with cheese and diced tomatoes and scrambled eggs with cheese. Was not my order and could not eat this order. The pancakes were just okay. Tried the sausage gravy with the biscuit. Not something I would get again but this part isn't a reflection of Metro Diner. Ordered this just to try it since many rave about this southern combo. Let's just say there will be more for everyone else to enjoy.

Probably the best food I had in Alabama! Catfish is crispy and lightly breaded. Mac and cheese is…read morethick and cheesy with a nice crust. Fried tomatoes were crispy on the outside and tomatoey on the inside. Buttered rice was pleasantly salty and buttery. Cornbread was the least dry cornbread I've ever had. Normally I don't like cornbread but this one was good. Friend said chicken pot pie was the best he ever has. I tried a bit of pot roast and it was tender and flavorful, not overly dry. I tried a bit of the sausage and it has quite a chewy casing. This restaurant was packed on a Monday lunch, but food came out decently quickly. Clean and somewhat retro vibe. Price was good, and the food was great!

I am greeted by Mr.Eddie (the owner) himself every time I go and have had nothing but friendly conversations/interactions with most if not all of the staff. Mr.Eddie runs a tight ship! The food is fresh and hot every time, and on the one occasion where it wasn't, Mr.Eddie personally brought me a fresh piece of fried chicken! 10/10 each visit and would give it more stars if i could. It is a bit on the pricy side but i would much rather support a local business and friendly face, than corporate restaurant/fast food that comes from who knows where and doesn't care about your food or experience. Hope this cafe can stay open for as long as possible! Much love to the Bevelle family

They said everything is made fresh daily and the food tastes that way! We got turkey and dressing with fried okra and green beans. We were a fan of the dressing and the fried okra. The fried okra wasn't heavily breaded, made them that much better. Everything else we got was pretty tasty too. It's price is about 35% higher than the meat and two place we typically go to that's closer to pur home, but I would come back here next time we are in the area again.

Thankfully free parking was available. I walked in at the perfect time, just as the breakfast grill was shutting down and the lunch grill was heating up. I was 5 minutes pass breakfast, as told by the waitress. She was so kind and told me that she would ask, if they (he) could prepare a breakfast for me. The answer was yes, but no grits. Oh well, let's try the omelette and hash brows. I'm really not into hash browns but these were delicious! Crispy and perfectly round. The omelette was also good and fluffy. The coffee was a good robust cup of coffee. This is a real old school diner. Counter seats with a few booths to the side. No frills here. Decent diner food with great friendly service. By the time I finished my breakfast, the lunch crowd was starting to come in for a seat at the counter and booths. I heard someone say, this is the best Philly cheesesteak in the area. Anyways, this was a pleasant place to have a good simple meal with some awesome service. The only reason I'm not giving 5* is because of not being able to get the grits, which was my fault for not getting there a little sooner. I will definitely come back.

I questioned the staff multiple times on multiple menu questions. All answered attentively and with concern.

Cooked to perfection and beyond tasty. I could easily tell why the place is always packed. It gives the true southern breaks fast spot and I am super excited because I know I will become a regular often now. Next I want to try a different item but I know those pancakes will see me again for sure. Very clean establishment as well.
