2 Stars I hate…read moregiving anyone a two-star review, especially for breakfast--my favorite meal of the day--but unfortunately, this one just missed the mark for us. The biggest issue was the quality of the food. If you're going to charge around $15 for a breakfast, put a good-quality sausage patty on the grill. It doesn't take much to make a flavorful sausage gravy from scratch either, but this gravy tasted like it came straight from a bag or can and had almost no flavor. The biscuits themselves were actually pretty good, but pouring margarine over the top completely changed the taste. The sausage patties weren't very good and seemed like they'd been left on the grill too long. The fried potatoes were decent, and so was the sourdough toast. The staff was nice and working hard--they were extremely busy. There were a lot of people in line, so clearly plenty of people enjoy the breakfast here, and the place itself has an interesting atmosphere. The price didn't help. $4 for a Sprite is overkill. We had one breakfast with an egg, sausage, toast and home fries, one waffle, half an order of biscuits and gravy, and drinks, and the bill was over $40. At that price point, I simply expect better-quality breakfast ingredients. This is just our experience and opinion. The staff was friendly, and considering how busy they were, I give them credit for that. Maybe we'll give it another shot next year, but this time around, the quality just didn't match the price.

I hadn't been to Metro Diner in quite some time, so I decided to head back to this old faithful…read morespot in Daytona Beach for a meal. Typically, I'm someone who automatically goes for their famous chicken and waffles, but this time around I wanted to switch things up and try something completely different. I opted for the Meat Lovers Scramble Bowl, and made a quick substitution: I swapped out the standard hollandaise sauce for their sausage gravy. It was the absolute right move! The bowl was packed with so much incredible flavor and was super filling. Since I was dining alone, I grabbed a seat at the bar. The staff here was incredibly nice and attentive--more than one person stopped by throughout my meal just to ensure I was taken care of and didn't need a single thing. If you are looking for a fantastic, hearty, home-cooked meal in Daytona, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. I won't wait so long to return next time!

That is exactly what we were looking - something local owned and preferably family owned. When you walk in, you're made to feel like Family, and that is excellent! The food wow the portions are humongous. I have to start with that. You definitely will not leave here hungry! The corn beef was fresh. I wished it had more onion and some bell pepper, but it was still great. I sampled the chicken salad and that was out of this world and the hamburger looked fantastic. As we were leaving, they had just put out muffins and cinnamon rolls. What a tremendous tease! Here it is Passover so I cannot have it and pistachio muffins are my favorite and they looked phenomenal. I was so tempted to break Passover so early for the looks of that muffin, but I knew it was a test that I had to pass. That was not easy! This was definitely worth the drive and the value for the dollar! Next time I am in Daytona, I will be visiting again and Katie bar the door if there are no pistachio muffins, ha ha ha they were even warm!

My friend had a special with queso cheese, bacon and tomato slices on top. Her home fries looked delicious. The restaurant is Betty Boop themed - if you remember her - and we took our pictures in the Betty Boop frame before we left. I'll be back to try that cheeseburger!

Great fresh food…read more They offer good-sized serving of hash browns (a lifelong fave) as an add-on. I got the Huevos Rancheros, which had half of a perfectly ripe avocado sliced on top of it, side of tasty refried beans, I asked for huevos revuelto (scrambled eggs) but sunny side up is their standard. My only disappointment was that they used wheat flour tortillas instead of corn. I really prefer the taste & texture of corn tortillas (I'm from LA, so grew up eating at family-run Mexican restaurants!), and they soak up less oil when fried and get crispier. Now, that won't matter to most diners, so not a big deal in the big picture. My husband had the breakfast burrito and he said it, too was very fresh. We took our order out because we have our two service dogs with us and the outside seating was just too too hot during this beastly heat wave here in Florida. I say go! It was very delicious.

It was perfect. I also ordered two of the side sauces, Chimichurri and an eggplant sauce. Since I eat oil free, I had to pour off the olive oil from the chimichurri sauce. Everything was perfect. I hope my pictures will come through. Definitely, if I could give them 10 stars instead of five I would. Service was excellent. Lots of checkbacks to make sure. Ambiance was great for a small cafe. Lots of cultural foods, too. Many of the offerings can be made vegan and gluten-free.
