There was a short wait time for brunch. The food was pretty good. I had the catfish and eggs. My husband had a chicken sandwich with fries. My eggs were cooked a little too hard for my liking and the side of grits had no flavor but overall it was good. Our server was very friendly. The dessert selection is amazing! Their display case is a focal point in the diner. We ordered a slice of delicious red velvet cheesecake to go. The slice...was...HUGE! You can definitely share one slice. We will return in the future. read more

Metro Cafe Diner - Catfish, scrambled eggs, and grits; and, chicken sandwich with fries. - Diners Near Me - Stone Mountain, Georgia

It just depends on the day you visit this place. I ordered the catfish breakfast and asked if I could substitute one single pancake for the grits or hash browns. She said yes I could. The waitress comes out with two pancakes instead of one and I pick at them because I prefer my pancakes thin and crepe like. These were large and fluffy which is not to my taste. Because her English wasn't very good I didn't feel much like talking or explaining that so I figured I'd just roll with it. I ate less than 1/10 of one of the two pancakes and when the bill came I was charged $6.00 extra for the pancakes. This is the second time these folks have gouged me. When I go with my husband that isn't the case. But I guess a single female is always fair game. The food is okay but I'll think long and hard before returning. Breakfast ended up costing $25.00 including the tip. The catfish was over cooked on half of the one piece and I barely even ate the pancakes. I don't feel good about the experience at all. read more

I was there two weeks ago the breakfast preparation was not good also the coffee was cold and it tasted like purfume the whole breakfast made sick . The waiter his dress code was very dirty. I will not be going back. read more

OK for a quick bite to eat. There are so many options on their menu, but the truth is they can't be good at everything. With so many choices the food remains subpar. However they are open 24 hours so if you are ever hungry at 1am you would be OK to stop by just keep it simple when you order. read more

Metro Cafe Diner - Desserts! - Diners Near Me - Stone Mountain, Georgia

Very big menu with something for everyone at reasonable prices. Full bar. Open 24 hours. Amazing deserts. We couldn't eat anything more after our meal so we got deserts to go. read more

The food is good and the cakes are tasty. The check in process is painful and always a mess. We checked in in advance and then when we got there they told us they don't allow check ins. Another time they told me they could seat me immediately then when we got there there was a 30 minute wait. read more

The atmosphere was great. Good can't quick. Large portions. The food wasn't seasoned heavily which isn't a bad thing for me but some might say the food doesn't "taste" good because of that. We will be back for sure. read more

The food was great, deserts were out of this world. Place was clean ana the staff was very friendly

Great place. It's an upscale diner with amazing and attentive staff. The food was great (I had nachos) and drink selection was great as well. They also went above and beyond to find a game on tv for us. They aren't a sports bar but were more accommodating than actual sports bars in the area! read more

Food was amazing! Only wish they had more servers, the was an older gentleman who was our server nit sure if he just didn't like us or if he was just tired and not having a good day. read more

The whole table are famished after their full portions. Not a complaint from the table including kids.. Great service too! read more

We eat here regularly and the food is pretty good esp the chicken tenders and fries. The service is excellent. My husband loves the burgers. The house salad is very fresh and crispy and the ranch dressing is homemade. Overall a good value for the money. The side salad is big enough for both of us. My husband loves the fresh cooked breakfasts! read more

I love coming here for breakfast. The people are kind, food is good and prices are cheap!

This place was recommended by our Inn. Did not disappoint! Prices were good and portions were huge! Our waitress was personable and kept our glasses full. Busy place but worth the wait. read more

I give an A+++ to the service, although I had to wait a little too long for someone to service my table (with 3 small kids to boot) in a low- populated setting. I must say that it is a great place for families because the kids eat free M-F. What was not so good was the oily french fries (although they were good) that the kids had with their meals. However, they sure know how to attract kids with those cakes and pies in the front of the store (hence, depleting the "kids eat free" notion). I thought the food was okay--the mashed potatoes tasted like they came straight from the box and I wasn't really impressed with my meal--I had the meatloaf (it comes covered in gravy not ketchup), mashed potatoes, and veggies. I would probably return to this restaurant considering the kids do eat free, the service is excellent, and the portions are really in the customer's favor. I don't know how it was in the past, but I think if they tweek this little stuff they would be a definite 5 star restaurant in my opinion. read more

Food was really good. Prices very reasonable, restaurant was clean and the menu was huge. Desserts on display when you walked in looked incredible! The service was AMAZING! Ask for Kim. Pleasant, polite, courteous, quick and efficient service wrapped up in a smile. I'll be back for sure! read more

Inside kind of looks like a sketchy diner but the food is good. They could probably do a better job at cleaning regularly.

Went to this place for the first time cause I was in the area. I liked this place. It was clean and had a great atmosphere and friendly staff. I tried one of the tacos and it was great. And every time I needed something (or not) the waitress was there to wait on me. I would definitely go back and recommend this place in Stone Mountain area. read more

Eddie is FTW. Food is good and value priced. Like the remodel . . Would eat again

Metro cafe is a classic. I need to start off with their fries they are super good! This is the spot for me and my friend when we want to get a decent bite and just catch up. I would definitely recommend, but every once in a while something is lacking. Overall though it's a 4/5 lol. Try it out! My go-to's are the breakfast burrito, the gyro platter, calamari for appetizer, and idk. Enjoy! read more

I've been dining with Metro Cafe Diner for over 2 years now . Every time I get their gyro with salad which is awesome. Today I had a very unpleasant experience when I placed a to go order . Vinny got my order wrong which is fine mistakes happen but then his demeanor and service was very disgusting and disrespectful. He was rude , he acted like he didn't want to bag my order . After he snatched my money, he then half bagged my order and gave it a push across the counter. I was so upset because I didn't understand why I was being treated like this . He didn't say thank you, have a nice day , nothing . I don't know what his issue was but his service was terrible!!! read more

We are searching for our new Sunday breakfast place. This isn't it. The food was okay, but a little pricey for the quality. Waffle House is right next door for much less money and same basic quality. From past experience I know that this chain of restaurants does Greek food best, so I ordered the Greek breakfast wrap. It was good. Hot. Filled with eggs, spinach, feta, and kalmata olives. My husband had pancakes and eggs. He wasn't so satisfied. Pancakes were okay, but syrup was little packets of Smuckers pancake syrup. For the price, they should have had pourable syrup, maybe even real maple syrup, rather than tiny packets. They didn't have any sugar free syrup on site. From a prior visit we know that the desserts in the case are beautiful, but tasteless. read more

I've been going to this forever but I recently started back visiting and I noticed a big change. They renovated the place lol. I'm usually greeted by T on a weekend night who's always cool to chat with. My usual is the Nacho Mountain add chicken and I have to Taco Bell is done for with me. These Nachos are amazing and I promise this place is the most constant place I've ever been to. I order these nachos often nothing special I add and everytime it's hot & the portions are the same. Who'd think someone would ever ask "How much more chicken is in this?" But everytime I get these nachos I say because they are not stingy with the meat and the servers are always so nice and pleasant. It's a new school diner with good alcoholic beverages and great food. Also check out the calamari read more

Happened upon this place by chance when visiting Stone Mountain for the first time. The menu had lots.of choices and everyone cleaned their plates. Favorites were the bacon and the chicken and waffles. The chicken was phenomenal. Great find and service. read more

The place was not crowded but the service sucked. The clerk took the order in the front of me and disappeared without a word. A waiter finally came over and took my order but was not allowed to ring it up, so I had to wait for the disappearing clerk to come back. This place is for the late night crowd who probably don't care about service. My flight was two hours late to ATL and it is 0130, service does matter to me. Never again. read more

Just ok. Everyone at tables hash browns were ice cold. Service was good and personable. The restaurant has been remodeled and is very cute.

THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB.COM me and my family was out and we ordered food and the food was the best and they gave us a lot of it the customer service is impeccable and when we were almost finish eating a very nice women came to us and said " you have a nice family and your family is Beautiful " and then she paid for our WHOLE MEAL which was well over 100 dollar. read more

Came for breakfast had omelette with home fries well-done. Home fries came cold and not well done at all nice looking restaurant but the boots are falling apart I need to be replaced service was OK read more

Good food and service at a great price. The desserts are out of this world Mile high cakes are excellent. They also have cheese cake, not my thing. However they look very good.. Enjoy!! read more

Love this place. Never issues with food day or night. Always clean and courteous staff. Not expensive and casual atmosphere.

Trina is the bomb diggity. We absolutely love her. We were her last table for the night and we had a blast. She is so fun loving and huggable. If ever I'm in the area again I am definitely stopping by hopefully to see my favorite staffer. I'm telling everyone I know who's headed that way to stop on in for a great meal and great ambiance. I stopped by twice for breakfast in less than a 24 hr period. Love love love the food and our girl Trina. Our first time meeting left us feeling like we knew her all our life. read more

I have always love this little spot, the people are very kind, and the food is pretty good. This particular night I just had dessert, since it was so late. The staff was very courteous, even though they were busy. Definitely my go to after hours. There is ample parking as well read more

Very clean establishment. The food was great. I had steak and eggs with home fries (awesome) and hubby had country fried steak which was also very good. The waitress ordered our sons pancake the shape of a bunny and that was the highlight because he was so excited about it and finished the whole thing. It's so hard to get a 6 year old to eat a full meal lol. Thanks for the great experience guys. We will be back soon to try lunch/dinner entrees read more

Very nice, clean, friendly restaurant. 5 stars for Carson, who waited on us. I believe she's the sweetest, nicest person we've ever had taking care of us. 5 stars for the food also! Everything was spot on. My hubby and I started out with truly fresh salads, I never eat all my salad but you could tell the lettuce that was used was washed and fresh and I ate it all. He ordered the barbecue ribs and fries and he ate them all, they came out hot and cooked perfect. The fries were the same, delicious! I got the country fried steak, real mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. I loved the country fried steak with the white gravy. It was perfect as were the potatoes and vegetables. We have to say the chef knows what he's doing! Good job! We went to both of Paula Deens restaurants in Savannah, and this Diner is by far much better, honestly. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Always enjoy going to this unique place when we are in the area. Great menu selection, prices very reasonable, food always delicious, never really had bad service and just no where else like it. Plus, the MASSIVE (not an exaggeration) slices of cake with everything from coconut to red velvet to snickers to... well, just look for yourself. There's definitely something that everyone in your party will enjoy! read more

We frequent this diner. Breakfast is the best but lunch/dinner is also good and desserts are beautiful!

This is my go to spot for cake. Chocolate cake with chocolate icing or red velvet cheesecake cake. Delicious! The slices are huge!

Amazing service, great price!!! Highly recommend. The pancakes were the best. It's open 24 hours and is casual. Came to Georgia for a conference and found this near my hotel. Clean place and clean bathroom read more

The service here sucks!! I cant comment on the dine in experience but i only walked in for cake. This was the first time i came here after they renovated everything so it was nice and modern. Anyways, walking through the door immediately you are presented with a glass case full of cake. I was with the bf and came in the evening after the fathers day rush so i wasnt expecting a huge selection. There was a server busy with a customer at the cash register so i didnt bother her but behind her was two other girls just chatting it up, not even acknowledging me or the lady that came after me. Eventually one of them noticed and asked if i was going to dine in and i replied i was only going to get cake togo. After that she just stared at me. Not even a "what would you like?" or "did you need any help chosing a slice?" just a stare. I was confused and asked who was going to help me, and what the cakes were since they arent labeled and the first girl gave me an attitude. Not needed. At all. I eventually decided on the receese slice just so i could just pay and leave. While the bf was paying for the slice, the first girl just drops the container on the counter. The cake slice was amazing but the service just left a sour taste in my mouth. Probably not going to come back anytime soon. read more

This is one of my family's go-to restaurants. They have a very wide selection of food, so there's usually something for everyone. The value for your dollar is very good. The only knock I have is the service. Depending on who you get as a server, it could be a great or terrible experience. read more
