As a first time customer, I get that it was a busy night. But to have my food done incorrectly, then given unseasoned fries, staff rushing you to leave, order and get a seat. Our table had orders done incorrectly, bill was done wrong. And the staff members rushing as soon as we paid. I don't know if I will come back for subpar food- experience. Yes there is karaoke, for what its worth see for yourself.
They charged me $24 for a shot of tequila. This place absolutely sucks. Clearly they are milking this whole situation.
I would give this establishment 3.5 stars. I was in the downtown area on a visit and decided to tell them before heading back to the airport. This place has plenty of seating. Stuff was friendly and helpful. Drinks were okay, was told it was a full bar but they couldn't make several drinks I asked for. Food was average, I had a cheeseburger and fries.
Submitted Linda at a conference and, I don't normally eat conference food, so I decided to go to a place where I thought all the locals went to. Probably should've checked the reviews before I went, but figured I'll wing it. I did my normal check-in with a photo, however, when the food showed up, I didn't take a picture of it. I wasn't gonna do a post, because the food wasn't really picture worthy. If you know what I mean, but then the check came, and it wasn't itemized and I thought to myself, self. this seems a bit high. So I asked for an itemized bill. Not only was my meal higher price on the building and what was on the menu, but the gratuity was automatically added in. No, wait, what! I was a single diner. It was just me nowhere in the restaurant did they have any signs saying gratuity automatically added. After that, I decided to do a post anyways so that any unsuspected out of town or would know ahead of time. So I guess the story is if the bill comes and it's not itemized before you leave a second tip ask for an itemized bill first.
Food: Judge for yourself! I'm about to dive in but, it looks perfect. Only wish that I received a whole sandwich for $21.00 Survey says...it was very good!!!! Service: Nicely served for my take-out order. Ambiance: Huge spot like 2-3levels great for various sizes of crowds. They even offer Nightly Karaoke which I may have to check out one night! PSA: I dislike that 12% gratuity is charged for to go orders.
Second year coming to Dragon Con and second year hitting up the Diner. Service continues to be terribly slow. Make that first glass of water last because good luck getting a second. Family was done eating and I had to send them on while I waited for our waitress to return to the table and then for the check to actually show up and then for the sign copy to show up. It took a while... Food was fantastic though! Started off with mozzarella sticks that my daughter said, "killed the cheese pull test!" They were really good. Daughter had the chicken and waffles. The waffle was amazing! I don't say that lightly; I eat lots of waffles. It was cooked to perfection and just a hint of vanilla. I had the chicken quesadilla. It was good, nothing spectacular. I'd get it again. I'll continue to come back every year as the food is really really good but I sure hope they hire more staff!
This morning we enjoyed a relaxing breakfast at Metro Diner & Bar in downtown Atlanta, and it was the perfect way to start the day. We were seated on the second floor by the window, which gave us a great view overlooking the streets below. With DragonCon in full swing, it was extra fun to sip coffee and watch the colorful crowd of cosplayers and attendees walking by--it gave the whole experience a lively, unique vibe. The menu has plenty of hearty options, from omelets to classic plates. I went with the two egg classic breakfast which came with egg my way, bacon, ham or sausage and choice of toast, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and filling. Service was friendly and efficient even with the busy convention weekend crowds. The staff kept everything moving while making sure we had what we needed. If you're in downtown Atlanta--especially during DragonCon--Metro Diner & Bar is a great breakfast spot for good food, quick service, and prime people-watching. They serve breakfast all day and have karaoke at night.
Solid spot. I was in town for a conference and came here for breakfast. It was pretty empty so I was seated right away. Ordered pretty quickly and got my food just as fast. Food was solid. I like their hash browns and eggs were cooked perfectly. I'm sure this place can get loud and rowdy when it fills up. Check it out.
I had sweet tea. Did not like it because it tasted like syrup.. I had the 2 eggs combo with turkey sausage hash brown and grits My friend had the metro plate which was salty And mine was just normal. Nothing special
My friend and I were in Atlanta for a few days and we literally came here for dinner two nights in a row. He's British and really wanted to experience American diner culture and this is probably about as close as you can get in downtown Atlanta. They have a vast menu and plenty to choose from. One night I had the Caesar salad and the other night I had one of the chicken wraps. Everything was pretty good diner fair. When I say pretty good I mean for a diner it was good but definitely diner food. So nothing too special but mostly consistent. Ambience is very '80s or 90s looking and you can tell it hasn't changed much since then. Some good views out the window of Peachtree Center Avenue. Service was always quick and easy. Staff was friendly but always in a hurry. Overall what else can I say except everything here was consistent and tasted good enough and prices were pretty good for downtown. You get what you get and that gives it five stars in my point of view!
Calamari was good. Bartenders are nice & accommodating. Drinks are a bit overpriced. Karaoke was fun. Cool spot to have a good time & meet friendly people. I enjoyed mysel both nights.
Came in on a Sunday evening for dinner. We were greeted immediately coming up the steps. There weren't many people in, so we were seated quickly. It was pretty quiet, but most of the guests were seated on the same area. We preferred a panini and chicken and waffles. Both meals were good and came out fast. Our sever was attentive and was able to accommodate any ask. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back if I'm in the area.
This may have been a better experience if we were doing karaoke. We instead came for food and drinks because they were open and many places close early in downtown ATL. The food was barely over fast food. The mozzarella sticks were no where near as good as sonic. The buffalo chicken sand-which was ok but definitely nothing to write home about. It was very loud which again i get if your main purpose is going to do karaoke. The service was ok. Everything was kinda sticky. Just not a huge fan but props for being open late.
I'm a DragonCon kind of girl which means once a year I invade Atlanta businesses. The last few years, Metro always makes the list at least once. I've been doing breakfast so this was the first time I've been there for karaoke and that was pretty cool, though I wish they made it more obvious how to participate because that could have been fun and it wasn't busy that night. I really enjoy that there's a wide variety so even though I was craving Mexican and my friend wanted Americana, we both had something we liked. The food was...not bad. I've had good meals and bad meals here. The guacamole isn't guacamole. It's just mashed up avocado, so be prepared for that. A little salt and the hot sauce the nachos came with and it was a bit better. I also liked that they brought all the toppings so you could assemble the nachos the way you want. I will say, the drinks here are amazing. I loved the peach bellini we had at breakfast and I had a Georgia Peach cocktail at dinner on my most recent visit and I'm dying to try to make it at home. My one real complaint was our server was very sweet but not exactly attentive. We could actually see her from our table and she was sitting and chatting up one of the other employees. I support your flirting with coworkers but maybe we could get our check first? Thanks! Will obviously be back again, I just might not do the nachos again. If I want guacamole, there's at least 3 Tex Mex places within walking distance. read more

I enjoy this place, it's not pretentious, it is such a welcoming atmosphere. As soon as you walk in the door you are greeted, whether it be by the bartender downstairs of the host upstairs. Our first visit here they host was yelling a greeting down the stairs as we were coming up. He was prepared for us and had menus in hand and led us to a table as soon as we got up there. Sat at a table in front of some big windows that overlook the street down below. A quick look over the menu and I had my choice. Seeing that they serve breakfast all day I knew what I was getting. Biscuits and gravy, upgrading it by adding hashbrowns. That felt like the right thing to do. Like hardcore the right thing to do. When I think biscuits and gravy I usually think a biscuit smothered in sausage gravy. However, they do a bit of a twist on it here. They give you two sausage biscuits drowned in that homestyle gravy. That way you are guaranteed a bite of everything as you go in this meal. It was delightful to have bite like that. Then when you finish that off, you can use that gravy as a flavor enhancer for the hashbrowns. I mean they can hold their own, but combining things are always great. This was so good that when I came back again a few days later, I had the exact same thing. I know if I was in the area, I would be back again and again. The service here is top notch. The servers know the menu quite well. They were able to run down that menu and let you know anything about any given dish. This place is easy to get to if staying nearby in one of the hotels. Or you can access it through The Hub. read more

Little bit of a dive restaurant. The main floor wasn't open for breakfast. Signs directed me up the stairs of this multi floor office building. View was sweet as I watched the Atlanta bustle from my table. The coffee was perfect and yes, some restaurants serve u drinkable coffee. I had the gravy and two biscuits at $7.50. Biscuits were fresh homemade. Flaky and warm, I was tempted to re-order. Service was spot on. Note that 18% gratuity was automatic and thus no real need to tip additional. ( read more
Meh. Dirty, grimy. Food was hit and miss! I say that because my food was a mess and my dining partner's food was a hit. I ate her food more than my own! How can one mess up a BLT? Sigh. I ended up eating my partner's pesto chicken sandwich. She had a huge salad and a chicken sandwich, which was really good. My food was awful. I didn't eat it. Service was fair, even though the place was busy. Our server was bubbly, friendly and did a decent job, although she saw that I didn't touch my food and had zero comments about it. I also didn't complain about it because I didn't feel like bothering with it a second time after sending it back because it was the wrong food order to begin with. We were there for a conference and a bunch of people ended up here from our conference because it was close proximity to our hotel. I overheard people from our group complaining before we even ordered. That should've been my sign to get up and go someplace else. I will definitely not eat here again nor will I recommend it. read more

I'll give this a confusing 3 star rating. Why? Because I'm really not sure how to describe or feel about this place. I only came here once. It was 1130pm at night. I got in late from a flight in and it was in walking distance from my hotel and the kitchen was open. I walked in on a Monday night and the place was lit. I came and thought it was a club the way people were lit on a Monday night. Dance floor had everyone on it dancing. It was karaoke night and everyone was having the time of their lives. The lighting is low lit. The main lights were off and the place was illuminated with blue and purple lights. You walk up the stairs to get to the seating area / to order to go. The place is sneakingly bigger than it appears. The seating opens up and it resembles any other diner seating. Just a bit more cooler with the lights and ambiance. Took my food to go. Got wings and a Buffalo chicken sandwich. The sandwich was decent. The wings were seasoned real well. But probably a little bit too much salt. I realized at that time of the day this was as best as it was going to get. Price was meh. For it being where the restaurant was in terms of location. It wasn't bad. I walked here but Atlanta traffic is notoriously bad. I didn't see any private parking so you'll have to find street parking or park in the nearby parking garage read more
Stopped at Metro Diner & Bar to grab breakfast one morning after visiting the nearby Atlanta Passport Agency. The breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese, paired with pancakes and turkey sausage was freshly made and tasty. i was also able to order a hot chocolate with whipped cream that was great. Reagan, the server was pleasant, attentive, and helpful. It was typical diner fare for breakfast, but i appreciated that all of the elements were made with care. The only downside is that i noticed the restaurant could use a deep clean. i make it a personal practice to only go to restaurants that have good health code ratings, and thankfully Metro Diner & Bar's recent standing show no violations. However, the floors didn't look very clean, and there was noticeable grime on the windows. They could pay a bit more attention to making the dining room a bit brighter as well. It's clear that this restaurant has been around a long time - it may be time for some deep cleaning and a general refresh/sprucing up. Overall, however, a decent place for a good breakfast! read more
This Dinner is awesome so needless to say when im in town always make sure to visit this gem. If you have a concert or any other special occasion let me tell you a little secret. Metro Dinner Bar period. After a night of shenanigans come and enjoy delicious food with Atlanta flare and let the crowds to go away before you head back to your accommodations with full belly and memories for a lifetime specially with big performers like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Madonna, Janet Jackson. You can thank me later. :) Here is the 411 a few steps from The Westin, The Ritz Carlton or Ellis Hotel my got to places to stay visiting Hotlanta. Metro Diner & Bar is located in the downtown hotel district at 229 Peachtree Street NW, Suite B-17. It serves both locals and visitors. The restaurant has a unique setup with a traditional diner on the upper floor and a karaoke bar with a dance floor on the lower level. It's open extended hours, from 6 am to 4 am on most days, and even later on weekends. Reviews highlight the vibrant atmosphere, especially during karaoke nights and with the upbeat DJ and dance floor. The menu features classic diner fare, including breakfast dishes, burgers, wraps, and sandwiches, alongside appetizers like Cheese Stix and Nachos. They also have lunch and dinner favorites such as Fried Chicken & Waffles, BBQ ribs, and Metro Shrimp & Grits. While some describe the food quality as average, many praise the good service and the overall fun experience, especially for late-night dining and drinks. The bar offers a wide selection of drinks, with some reviewers describing the cocktails as "solid" or "tasty". However, some have noted that the drinks can be small for the price. The establishment has been praised for its fast service and friendly staff. One reviewer specifically mentioned the amazing service received from a bartender named Evan. In summary, the Metro Diner & Bar in downtown Atlanta is a lively spot known for its diner food, full bar, and karaoke entertainment, making it a popular choice for both dining and a fun night out. The pancakes are delicious so don't forget to order them. read more

There are very few decent dining/ breakfast options in the greater hotel plaza, but Metro Diner offers some refuge. I ordered the fried steak and eggs with grits. I'm new to grits but these were very obviously under-flavored and difficult to consume. At night Metro turns into a large karaoke bar and becomes extremely lively. read more

Interior is super fun and unique. I know they do karaoke nights but because of that, they never show the sports games happening. We wanted to watch the CFP but they insisted on saving the tvs for karaoke (nobody showed up to karaoke). They were nice about the whole thing but when you have a group of 30/40 people coming to watch the game, at least show it on a couple screens. Someone in our group got food poisoning in the middle of the night to the point he had to rush to the hospital. This place presents itself as a good sports spot but it felt like the whole reason we were there was brushed off to the side. If you have nowhere else to go, then stop here, but I'm sure there's better places around. Only reason it's getting 2 stars is because the service wasn't mean/rude and the atmosphere itself was decent. read more
Casual restaurant located with in walking distance of several downtown hotels. There's quite a few stairs to enter the restaurant also to go up to the dining area. You enter in on the lower level which houses the bar, where they were doing karaoke. Upon arriving to the top level where the hostess station was located. We were immediately greeted and seated. The food was okay, they give you really large portions, however my Alfredo Pasta wasn't the best. Edible but definitely giving diner food 5/10. My cocktail was a 10/10 though. read more
