This was me and my families first time dining here, and we would definitely come back again! The food was delicious and the service was quick and very hospitable! Our server was Emily I believe she was so sweet and we will be asking for her when we go back. The restaurant was very cute and cozy. It reminded of a nicer version of Luke's diner from Gilmore Girls. lol Also while we were there we were blessed by one of the managers who paid for our meal, we are very grateful, but we were too nervous to say thank you in person to him so hopefully he reads this. Thank you so much! It was a beautiful diner! My husband had the Philly cheese steak sandwich, he loved it. I had the steak tips with mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. It was delicious!!! Especially the potatoes I love potatoes hehe! Thank you all again! read more

Enjoyed a valentines brunch with my love to start our day. Wait time was only about 25-30 mins and while waiting we enjoyed conversation with the Girl Scout troop selling cookies. Our server was amazing and she was very attentive. We love strawberry anything so we ordered the limited edition strawberry shortcake waffle and pancakes. I ordered my waffle with scrambled eggs, bacon and home potatoes with a coffee and it was so good! Ambiance was so nice as the restaurant was decorated for valentines and menu items specifically for the love day. Metro diner is always a go too for us, until next time ! read more

I am GF and was surprised to learn that they had a whole GF menu! They made my meal, but before they brought it out, the waitress said that she was notified of accidental cross contamination and that they were fully remaking my meal. I was super appreciative of that and it sounds like they are aware of GF needs. I am 1000% going back. The food was delicious!! The diner itself is a cute little spot with a classic diner vibe. read more

Metro Diner - Gluten Free Grilled 3 Cheese with Ham + mashed potatoes - American Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

I'm so happy Metro Diner has Mimosa Flights . They're really good . The flavors are -Pineapple -Peach Mango -Orange -Strawberry Lemonade They also have coffee flights too which I plan on trying on my next visit. I ordered the French toast and Chicken meal. It's listed on the menu as chicken & waffle, but I subbed the waffle for the Croissant French toast instead. Everything came out very quickly. They have sauce mix that goes well with the chicken ( mix the Louisianan hot sauce with the maple syrup ) it's like a sweet & spicy taste. The ambiance was super busy , so I added myself to the waitlist while parking so they texted me when to come in to be seated , so that's an awesome feature. My waitress Blaine was Amazing and so knowledgeable and sweet . Everything was good . read more

It was Valentine's Day and Metro Diner had the inside decorated for the holiday. We waited a good 25 to 30 minutes for a table for 2. As soon as we walking in, we saw the specials board and saw they had Strawberry Shortcake Waffles. I had to order the Fried Chicken Tenders and Strawberry Shortcake Waffles with a Cranberry Juice. The order took 5 to 10 minutes to get our food. It was delicious. The service was good. Our server made sure we had everything we needed. I can't wait to come back again. read more

I remember when Metro diner first opened years ago. The quality of food has really improved over time and their philosophy. The service was very good even on Valentine's Day. The service began with our waitress and on with the next two levels. The General manager as well as the regional director. A great dining experience begins with great service from the team and management. Typical Metro diner local atmosphere. Now the food. Great dishes. Enjoy the photos below. read more

My family and I decided to stop at Metro Diner for breakfast/lunch. We were seated in a booth rather quickly. Our server was very kind and did a great job of checking on us. Two of us chose lunch and one chose breakfast. The Double Decker BLT with onion rings and a deli pickle was a huge hit. The breakfast order was fried chicken Benedict with the cheesiest grits. Alone this dish was good. The chicken was yummy. The biscuit was delicious. The poached eggs were more hard boiled but good. The cheesiest grits were the best part of this dish. They had great flavor and just the right amount of cheese. The ambiance in this restaurant is a beat of bustling energy with louder voices sharing a chat. If you like quiet while you dine this is not the location for you. read more

Saturday afternoon feeling hungry invited a few friends out to go try this place with me. You know the one that has the giant green lettering. Pleasantly surprised the restaurant was a lil busy but not rushed. soft music plays in the background, sounds of conversations from other tables but not noisy. We were seated and drinks were ordered the lemonade was good and cold very refreshing, I order a Caesar salad with tomatoes and sliced red onions, the battered fried fish and fries was scrumptious crispy lil morsels of deliciousness served with both hot sauce & Tartar sauce was a good touch could've used some freshly squeezed lemon which was provided yummy The service was exceptional re/filled glasses at the sight, offered a detailed description of the menu. Fast friendly and knowledgeable our sever was the bomb.com. read more

I've been to Metro several times in past (pre-Yelp days). I've always enjoyed the breakfast. They had several specials written on the chalk board. I was conflicted on this visit because my appetite hadn't returned after my workout. I didn't want to order anything too heavy or too big. I went with oatmeal, a side of sausage patties, and coffee. They serve a good size portion of oatmeal. The french vanilla coffee was delicious. Service was good. The server let me customize the fruit bowl that accompanied the oatmeal. She topped off my coffee multiple times. read more

This is our second day in a row coming here after coming for the first time yesterday for Easter Sunday. The food is absolutely fantastic. Hands down best breakfast food we've tried by far! The service is amazing - our server Brisa was wonderful and extremely helpful! Definitely worth trying if you're in the mood for some tasty food :) read more

There were 8 of us for this wonderful breakfast gathering. We ate everything so quickly I wasn't able to get pics. The best part of our visit was our waitstaff, Bree. She was helpful, patient and very attentive. My family can be challenging to please, but this visit was perfect. I shared the Bissell with my spouse, tasted many other entrees. The omelets are delicious. The nieces loved the waffles. I prefer the pancakes and they are tasty. The eggs are always cooked as requested. The grits are good and I love the whole grain toast. We all left there quite contented and Bree took the time to take pics of our group since most of my family was from Texas. I was able to taste meat lover's scrambled and it was so delicious! This is a hidden gem for their lunch and dinner menu, too. read more

This was our first time at Metro diner. Although we did not sit to eat, my husband ordered takeout. We didn't notice how packed it was with people getting breakfast. That should be how it must be a very popular spot in the town. The food was amazing as well. Maybe next time my family will enjoy the restaurant and eat in. read more

Ashley was our server and she was amazing. So bubbly and full of energy. Helped to make the day. Breakfast was great and our quick. Ashley even made sure to have my bacon extra crispy! read more

I stopped here for a quick lunch with my girlfriend. The place looked nice with plenty of seats available inside and outside. The staff was very friendly when taking our order and when we needed something extra. However, there were some things that I'd like to point out that I didn't like. First, the utensils we received were dirty. Also, the bathroom was not clean. We ordered a cinnamon roll pancakes and biscuit with gravy. They were fine, but after we ate them we felt a bit sick. Maybe we just had bad luck. read more

This was a breakfast excursion at 7:30am (EST) on a Sunday morning with a friend. Easy parking. When we left a number of people were doing carry out so they have that too. I ordered two eggs and the blueberry/lemon pancakes with water and cranberry juice. My friend ordered eggs, hash browns, Sausage and toast. We both commented that the food was excellent and the service was grand! I liked the ambiance - I would call it retro. The restroom was easy to find and very clean. The restroom decor matched the restaurant. read more

Metro Diner - Breakfast from 8/17/2025 - American Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

From the moment we walked in, Sasha set the tone with a warm quick greeting that made us feel like we had been regulars for years. She was incredibly accommodating throughout our meal, but one gesture in particular went far above and beyond. When my wife mentioned being unexpectedly cold, as the AC was recently repaired and working very well, Sasha didn't hesitate. She literally offered my wife her own personal jacket to wear. That is not just service, that is heart. Speaking of heart, when my world famous chicken and waffles arrived, paired with that signature hot syrup combo that deserves its own standing ovation, I noticed the strawberry butter had formed a heart shape. Coincidence? Maybe. But given the care Sasha put into everything else, I like to think it was destiny. Metro Diner's food always delivers, but Sasha elevated the experience into something genuinely memorable. Service like that does not just complement the meal, it defines it. If you are headed to Metro Diner on 434, cross your fingers you are seated in Sasha's section. read more

Metro Diner - Fried Chicken & Waffles - American Near Me - Altamonte Springs, Florida

I had such a great experience at Metro Diner! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and gave that perfect comfort-food vibe. The food was absolutely on point--fresh, flavorful, and served hot. You can really tell they take pride in what they're putting out. Everything tasted homemade and satisfying, the kind of meal that instantly puts you in a better mood. What really made the visit stand out, though, was my server, Lindsay. She was amazing--attentive without being overbearing, super friendly, and made sure everything was just right the entire time. She checked in at the perfect moments and had such a positive, genuine energy that made the whole experience even better. Great food and even better service. I'll definitely be back--and I'll be asking for Lindsay again! read more

PEOPLE, DO NOT FEED YOUR DOG OFF THE SILVERWARE OTHERS EAT ON!! IF YOU FEEL COMPELLED TO DO SO, HAND YOUR PET THE FOOD OR ASK FOR PLASTICWARE!! TO THE COUPLE WHO FED THEIR DOG OFF A FORK, YOUR DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR HAS LOST METRO A CONSISTENT VERY WELL TIPPING CUSTOMER. I WOULD ASK EVERYONE TO ADDRESS THIS ON YOUR NEXT VISIT! We visit here often and yesterday we saw a couple sitting outside with an older dog. Ashley (our) waitress went over to the couple and pet their dog and had it sit and shake hands/Paw. Then Ashley came over to us to take our drink order. My wife brought the concern of her touching the dog and then bringing us food/drinks. Ashley said oh I wash my hands every time I touch a dog. She took our order then went back inside. The lady with the dog, then took her fork and let her dog eat a piece of sausage off the fork, not once, not, twice, three times. We stood up to leave and told Ashley that we were leaving because of what we saw. Ashley proceeded to say that their dishwasher sanitizes everything.,,,at this point I interrupted her and said it isn't about the dishwasher it is that the lady let her dog eat off the same silverware that a customer could be eating on next. We brought this to the managers attention and she took our order agreed that was wrong and disgusting. PEOPLE, DO NOT FEED YOUR DOG OFF THE SILVERWARE OTHERS EAT ON!!

Good food at a good price. The restaurant was clean and inviting. There was room for groups and families or smaller booths for friends. Luckily fot me, I had a $5 coupon that I used on this visit. I intended to bring half my food home but it was so delicious that I cleaned my plate. Our server was friendly and extremely helpful. I definitely plan on returning to try more comfort foods. read more

Food is fabulous, but, more importantly, we were treated so very well by a member of the staff who stepped in when she saw we had been waiting an excessive amount of time for our assigned waitress to basically ignore us. SAM H. could not have been a better waitperson if she tried. She was attentive, polite and went overboard, even though it might have been made uncomfortable by another! If you can request her , I definitely would! read more

I'm from a small seafood town and I've spent many years searching for shrimp and grits as tasty as the dish from there. I consider myself an expert on seafood dishes having been raised on seafood. Metro Diner over performs more than any restaurant I have ever eaten. If I could give an award, they would win! I'd send a picture but I was hungry. The very best shrimp and grits EVER! Great portion and great staff and management! read more

Great food, atmosphere, music, quick service, and reasonably priced. Clean restaurant.

Metro Diner offers their service to our office through Foodsby and I can always rely on getting something delicious from this diner. I have tried multiple sandwiches and dinner platters and I have never been disappointed. They have never made a mistake on my order. My meals usually consist of meat, starch and veggie. The chicken strips are huge and you get a lot of them for the price. The pot roast is tender, the turkey is Thanksgiving any time of the year, and the meat loaf is superb. I think you can get a great meal for a great price here. I highly recommend them and hope your experiences are as pleasurable and yummy as mine have been. I appreciate all the choices they offer and their quality control is outstanding. Enjoy! read more

Roxan was AMAZING and so was the food. 10/10 licked my plate clean! Would 100% recommend!

Update: emailed Jacob Kritz as per his request (see below) and was ignored. Came here yesterday for breakfast by myself. Sat at the counter. A couple behind me seated at the table was playing YouTube videos with music set VERY loud on their phone which they had set up on the table to watch. This continued for about 20 minutes. I asked my server (Dakota) to ask them to stop. Music continued. I personally (and politely for whatever it's worth) asked them to please stop. He proceeded to TURN THE MUSIC UP LOUDER. A few minutes later I asked Dakota to ask them again. Customer stood up and announced that I "should shut the eff up" I was literally surrounded by staff this entire time. No one did anything. Finally the manager came over but not before the couple walked out. There was absolutely no reason for staff to allow that situation to slowly escalate like they did to the point that their female patrons (me) are being verbally threatened by male customers and in fear for their physical safety... and for what? So that he can play videos with full volume and disturb everyone? Really-- for what? Why? Manager apologized to me and that's it. My meal was not comped (lol) which would not have made this right but it would've been a lot cooler if they did-- I basically paid this restaurant to get verbally assaulted for breakfast read more

There should definitely be more bacon in the knuckle busters, aka blt. I shouldn't have to have my Togo while lay peacefully in bed waiting to get the good stuff. Two, three bites and still no bacon. Bite after bite, empty, and with much disappointment. Make sure to ask for extra EXTRA bacon because I did for my breakfast, and there were some vacancies. I'm guessing they assume two per customer three tops from the looks of it. Great place if you order accordingly. Quick service and exceptional waitress. The only negative is portion, but you get what you pay for. This is EXTREMELY affordable. Keep that in mind and pay extra for your faves. 3.9 I Would def say. read more

Yesterday we had lunch at the Metro Diner in Altamonte Springs with Nick as our Server. As a transplanted NYC girl, I was looking for a venue with that authentic, NY Diner food and vibe. Well, I found it! My entree of meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy was excellent. The apple bread pudding was delicious. Our Server Nick was super nice, accommodating and professional. We will be returning to Metro Diner soon and I definitely will recommend it!! read more

I have been here a few times in the past couple of weeks, what can I say. The food is amazing. Service has been great each time I dine in. My new favorite is the huevos rancheros. I'm Mexican and have never liked them as much as I do from here. Thank you, Tiffany, for taking such great care of us. I work in the service industry and I know things happen all the time, it's hard to keep everything perfect. That being said, management is always there if you need them and are willing to fix any issue that arises. If you haven't been here, I suggest you do. Aside from their amazing food, they have daily specials so you never get bored! Be ready to wait on weekends, it gets super packed but for good reason! Great prices too. read more

The food is great. What I first experienced upon walking in was a customer shouting down and disrespecting a waiter. I guess the customer thought he could bully people like he does in the hood. I was very impressed with how the waiter handled it. This made me more curious about the place. Great customer service all around and the food is wonderful. Our server, Bri, was AMAZING and the kitchen really kicks butt. read more
