I've heard really good things about this place but after coming here I won't be coming back, firstly the place wasn't clean but also not dirty, it was more so in the middle, it definitely gives off a diner atmosphere. The food was good but nothing out of the ordinary as they brought out my appetizer after the entree, they also forgot my chili on the side. The people working here were amazing as they were social and kind as well as a bit funny but other than that I would not come back read more

Just what a great diner should be. Great food, atmosphere and service! We had the Breakfast burrito and Hell's Kitchen tacos.

We found this diner on yelp, as we are not from this state. Evelyn greeted us with a smile on her face and was super helpful when I inquired about the veggie burger. She was on point with every single aspect. Thank you Evelyn. The food was all fresh and hot and delicious. read more

We were escorted to a booth as soon as we stated our preference. The Diner was very clean and they had a large selections on the menu. Waitress was very friendly and service was excellent. Deserts looked great but we didn't have room for desert. Strongly reccommend Metro Cafe Dinner,. read more

I had dinner at the restaurant tonight and unfortunately my experience was very disappointing. I ordered a veggie omelette with home fries. The waitress appeared unfamiliar with basic service procedures. She brought coffee that tasted old and never offered a refill. I eventually had to ask why I had not been offered one. The food quality was also poor. The home fries looked and tasted very old, as if they had been sitting for days. The omelette itself was watery, falling apart, and poorly prepared. Overall, it looked like it had been made by someone with very little kitchen experience. I have been coming to this restaurant since I moved to the Atlanta area in 2005, so this is especially disappointing to see. Over the years, the food quality has been inconsistent -- sometimes very good and other times very poor. However, during my last several visits, the quality has noticeably declined. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving both food quality and customer service. read more

I love trying little cafes and diners. We were visiting Stone Mountain and looking for a nice place for a late lunch. I was a little leery bc some of the reviews aren't great. IMHO - they are crazy. Ambience - it's a super cute little diner. They pipe oldies in the background. Plenty of seating - mix of booths and table/chairs combo. There's also a bar on one side. Walking in - you can't but drool over the pasties in the display. OMG - they really look amazing! Service - out service was terrific. She was helpful and patient with our questions too. Food - there were lots of complaints in the comments over price and I think they're way off. This isn't fast food; it's a sit-down diner with a really decent menu. We had 3 people dining and ordered a giant piece of cake. The total tab was $55. That's really not unreasonable. It's also worth mentioning that the portions are also generous. 2 out of 3 of us brought home half of our meal to enjoy later. I also had some cake packaged for later and cannot wait to try the "crazy" cake. read more

Visited on a Saturday after running a few errands in the area. We were seated immediately and our server came and took our drink orders, water. We continued to review and asked her a couple of questions that she answered with ease. With her assistance I ordered the vegetable panini and my husband ordered the Greek plate. We continued to talk amongst ourselves while we waited for our food. Food came out and everything looked good. Food was hot and seasoned well, we were satisfied with our orders. I wish I could remember our server's name but all I know is she was tall and had an accent. She handled herself and her tables very well. We also ended up ordering a slice of snickers cake and carrot cake, although there were so many to choose from. Cake was good but I think next time I'm going to go for a slice of cheesecake. read more

Entrance/parking: wrap around parking at the building. On the weekends it is crowded. Staff do a great job trying to seat each party as long as everyone is there. Food/ambiance: food comes out quickly. This diner has a small bar. Of course I was able to get a mimosa or two. Ordered hell chicken tacos. They're small, but full. I'm not a huge fan of their house potato. But I'm not a huge fan of potatoes. I didn't try their pies or cakes, but Oh my gosh! They look decadent. I will be back to try. Price points are perfect and reasonable for a diner. read more

It's a diner, and it serves diner food. You do not want to come here if you want gourmet or haut cuisine. My meal was not memorable, but it was tasty and filling, and the price was right. It was a little loud when we went on a Wednesday night. I entertained some friends who selected the place. Our server was attentive without hovering. Can't ask for much more. read more

Have been here a couple times for breakfast. Solid breakfast place. Have had the traditional breakfast, omelets, French toast, and a cheesecake. All were good. Cleaned the plate every time. Good portions. Of course it has a cute diner vibe. The staff are friendly. The service is relatively quick. Especially given how busy it has been when I've gone. There's nothing particularly unique or different about the breakfast. So if you're a foodie looking for something unique and special, not sure you're gonna be impressed. But if you want a good, dependable, tasty breakfast with a good selection of items to pick from, this is it. read more

Upon entering the restaurant there is a sign that has you to wait to be seated. They have a large display of delicious looking cakes. They were very tall and inviting. I wanted to order cake instead of a meal because they looked so good. Also in the front aside from the chairs and tables at the counter there were more desserts. I did not try any but they all looked very good. At the time that we arrived there were not many customers inside. The TVS were on so we got to watch a little bit of that. Not sure what we were watching but the screens were large.I did not use the bathroom but the inside, the floors and the tables appeared to be cleaned. The silverware that was wrapped in a napkin was also clean. I did not see any water stains which is usually at most of the restaurants. The waitress was very nice and accommodating. We did not have to call for her much because she continually made her rounds to check on us and others while we ate. The food was just ok. To be more specific it was very bland. I ordered the salmon, shrimp pasta and the Chicken Marsala.Both meals looked great. The presentation was fabulous but the flavor was lacking. I was glad they had salt and pepper at the table because it was HEAVILY used. I was hoping the meals would have more flavor but I was disappointed. The meal portions were a good size but the flavor made you wish it was less. I did bring my leftovers home not sure if they will be eaten though. This was my first time coming here and I have seen the restaurant on a number of occasions. The best thing we had was the appetizers. It was the cheese sticks. They were cooked correctly. They were good and passed the pull test. Which is when you take a bite and the cheese is still connected even after you pull it, so we know it was fresh and hot. Even though the restaurant was clean, the waitress was nice, and the portions were of good size I will not be returning only because I needed more flavor in the food and Metro missed the mark. read more

We are in town on vacation and this place was recommended by our hotel staff. It did not disappoint. Food was great, service too. Lela or maybe Lila (I think that was her name, an extremely lovely Greek heritage woman). The diner is clean as can be. Food was very good and good size portions. Arrived timely. Our ice tea glasses never got empty before they were topped off. That always a rarity for me. Seldom does any restaurant keep my glass full, but it was here. Off the hook service with a smile. Hubby had ribs and wings, I had their special Steak stir fry. We were so full we couldn't eat it all, but we did order slices of their cakes to bring back to the hotel for later. We hear their peanut butter cookies are off the hook and always sold out quickly. Lila offered to hold a half dozen for me tomorrow when they come in. PB cookies are my favorite so I gotta try them. We did and they were awesome read more

Awesome place, awesome people, awesome food and awesome atmosphere. I ended up here with 7 members of my film crew for lunch out of need and necessity of proximity, but it ended up being one of the best food/lunch/diner experiences I have had had in a long time. Food is absolutely old school classic diner style, and with a super tasty classic diner style dishes, and an amazing and very friendly vibe. They also have some of the most visually beautiful' and tasty assortment of cakes, pies, desserts etc. I have ever soon in any diner I was ever in. Highly Recommended! read more

Neat lil convenient space sitting in Stone Mountain, adjacent to the Netherworld macabre. Caters mostly to older folks usually; and due to proximity to N., you get all kinds at night. Menu quite varied and Expansive. Check out the numerous pics. Active bar, and if you love cakes n desserts, u came to the right place. Grub choices everything from Greek gyros, Italian lasagna, Fajitas, to good ole backyard burgers n fries. The mystifying calamari and salmon were nice btw. Service was rite on. Hopefully u sit in Dunja's or Naima's areas, with v kind prompt service and energy. Thx. read more

I came here based on a family recommendation, and I'm glad I did! The experience didn't disappoint. The diner is very spacious, wasn't too busy, and was clean. We were greeted quickly, and there was ample parking, which is always a plus. We ordered two orders of chicken and waffles and two steak quesadillas. The chicken was good--well-seasoned with a slight crisp, which was impressive since I took it to go. It was a bit too greasy for my taste, but the waffle more than made up for it--absolutely delicious, with huge portions. The steak quesadilla was good; I've had better, but it wasn't bad at all. One thing that caught my eye was their massive selection of cakes! I didn't get any this time, but it's definitely on my list for next time. I'd definitely come back here for the great service (10/10!) and solid food overall. It's a great spot to try if you're in the Stone Mountain area. read more

We used to dine at Metro Cafe pretty regularly, but we moved from Snellville and now the trip is a little bit of a trek. We had the day off and thought let's go get some fried catfish. I realized when I was checking in on Yelp that we have never reviewed them. {How did that happen??} So here it goes ... Staff are polite. We rarely get the same server but the managers are consistent every time we come back. In most cases, we are greeted at least once by the managers - either as we are being seated or during the meal. Food is quite tasty. I'll put this disclaimer here, though, we don't venture outside of a couple of entrees that we have found to be very good because we have not found better anywhere else so we stick with them. They really are worth it! #1 option is the Country Fried Catfish. The batter is a mix of cornmeal and flour and is so well seasoned!! The fish is always always always moist - we have never had over fried catfish at Metro. They really have this perfected. You get two big filets and we often share the entree and order extra sides. We prefer the white gravy on the mash potatoes (it comes with brown). #2 Chicken fried tenders - these are really good when they are not over fried. I have gotten them a couple times when they were a bit dry, but with some extra white gravy they are still good. The house/side salad is always super fresh - it has crisp lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes wedges, and red onions. We have never had limp or wilted lettuce here! They make their dressings homemade and we particularly like the thousand island. Cleanliness is why I subtracted a star. The dining room is clean and I've never received a dirty plate, cup, or silverware (which is not common ... something always slips through the cracks. But the restroom is consistently in disarray and not a pleasant experience. read more

This place really changed my life LOL I was not expecting Metro Cafe Diner to be this good! I dined there on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch and it was a great experience. It was busy but that didn't prevent the service from being quick and efficient. I ordered the onion rings (served with a chipotle ranch - amazing) as an appetizer and lasagna for my meal. Both were delicious! Everything was so fresh. Those that dined with me ordered the chicken wings, catfish, and of course, cheesecake! Everyone was extremely pleased with their food. I cannot wait to return to try out dessert. They have a large assortment of cakes and cheesecakes so make sure to save some room when you visit! read more

First off my server Naji was absolutely amazing. After traveling for the past two days, it was nice to have a good meal with excellent service. I am not from the area and live in Los Angeles and came here for a business trip. I was recommended this restaurant by the hotel I was staying in. My server Naji was amazing. Naji was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended some dishes. He was very attentive and constantly checked on me if I needed anything. I went with the calamari and the loaded baked potato. The baked potato came with crispy bacon, butter, and sour cream. It was so good and filling. They definitely make their food from scratch and it taste homemade. I love sweet tea and it was fresh. I recommend coming here if you are in Stone Mountain. Also please give Naji a bonus and employee of the month. Bravo for one of the best customer services I have ever had. read more

The food was delicious and served piping hot. The menu was extensive with too many choices, in a good way. We were a party of six. We ordered three American Cheese burgers; one beef stroganoff, one roasted veggie salad and one pancake breakfast with scrambled eggs and bacon. Everything arrived fresh and delicious. Our waitress, Patricia was attentive and friendly. She kept our drinks filled, got our orders 100% correct all while dealing with a very busy Saturday evening. This Metro Cafe Diner is bigger than any other Metro Diner I have visited. It was clean, well lit and had adequate parking. We will visit again when in the area. read more

Oh man, does this place get busy on a weekend. But, its worth the wait. You walk in and there is lively chatter from all the filled tables. Its like dining with your extended + extended family. Like everybody here, with grandma, and all the babies , and all the cousins. Like everybody having a good time. That's the vibe. Good food, family, and the pace is fast, fast, fast. When you enter, the first thing you'll see is that cake display. Full of gigantic cakes, 3-4-5 layered cakes. MAkes you think... why can;t I have cake for breakfast. Well , you sure can. It does get busy , but the tables turn fast, so have a seat outside, or in your car. They'll text you when your table is ready We came for breakfast and had the egg benny, has plate, bacon, eggs, pancake and a huge slice of vanilla coco cake. We'll get to the cake later, but the breakfast was delicious. Portions enough to make you skip lunch. The best thing was actually the diner coffee. It not exactly gourmet, but it no nonsense, hot , satisfying , diner coffee. I guess I have a thing for diner coffee. The eggs ben was actually done very well. That vanilla coco cake was awesome. Moist and just enough icing , so that its not greasy. And finally, service was fast. The server knew what we wanted before we asked for it and that's much appreciated. I didn't have to ask for water, I didn;t have to ask for creamer and sugar, ... everything just magically appreared at the right time too. read more

All in all it was a good experience. It's a family friendly atmosphere with a retro feel. Our server, Lela, was fantastic and so full of life. She was a joy to be around, super helpful, and ready to think on her feet (as we unexpectedly joined two friends who had already received their meals). She was quick to get our orders in and the food also came quickly. I wanted to try the lemon chicken soup because it sounded good and unfortunately that was the only thing I didn't like. Apparently it's a Greek soup and I usually like Greek food but this soup was not for me. The salmon, however was cooked perfectly and the dessert was delicious as well. read more
