This place is NOT a diner. Food was just ok. Strange menu. Decent service. They offer Poutine but it's trash.

Eat in the restaurant. To go fried chicken gets too dry when it's takeout. Otherwise it's great.

Hubs and I have been wanting to come to this chain for a while. We went to one of the locations a few years ago and liked it a lot. So, when we found out about this location, we wanted to give it a try. We were immediately seated after arriving. The restaurant is split into two dining areas. We sat in the back dining area, which is small and has six booth seats. Daughter ordered Charleston Shrimp and Grits, which are 2 fried grit cakes that are infused with cheese, roasted red peppers and andouille sausage. They are topped with shrimp, sausage, onions and peppers in a shrimp sauce. It comes garnished with chopped bacon and scallions. She loved it and never had grit cakes before. It was surprisingly delicious. Next, Hubs ordered Classic Burger, which is Angus burger, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and red onions. He switched from cheddar to Swiss cheese and ordered it rare. Instead of lettuce, he ordered extra onions. The burger came out medium well but Hubs liked the burger a lot. He said that he would've loved it more if it was rare but he understood why he couldn't get it rare. He also got a side of mac and cheese, which was good. You can't go wrong with mac and cheese. Lastly, I ordered Huevos Rancheros, which are eggs served over fried sun-dried tomato tortilla shells, bacon, sausage, black bean, onions, tomatoes, roasted corn and green peppers. i usually get this order on top of tortillas but this order was different. The eggs were on top of freshly fried pieces of tortillas. MMMMMMMMM. Daughter and I were fighting over the tortillas. LOL. They have their own ketchup. It has its own label and nutrition facts in the back, which I thought was cool. Service was quick and friendly. We were able to use our 50% off our entree because I had the Metro Diner app. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu! read more

Came here last weekend for brunch. Luckily for a Saturday morning the wait wasn't too bad, like 10-15 mins. They have a gigantic specials chalkboard with the specials and drinks that you can't miss when you walk in. The strawberry crepe caught my attention right away. But too bad when I ordered it, it wasn't what I expected and it didn't taste good. Normally I would order something else and "complain" but I had an appointment so I had to eat and go. The strawberry crepe was literally a crepe with loads of sweet cream cheese filling and strawberry jam. It was very sweet and too heavy for my liking. Would not order that again or recommend. It was expensive for three crepes too. My boyfriend ordered a club sandwich and his taste better, was a bigger portion and was cheaper than the crepe. read more

First time at Metro Diner, and I was pleasantly pleased with the breakfast we enjoyed. The food we ordered was served hot and tasty. The restaurant was crowded so that means people enjoy the place and they give plenty of food. read more

Service was wonderful - especially Denise!! We were greeted, seated, and attended to in a timely manner. Food did not miss.

We stopped in for lunch during the COVID crisis. They had every other table set up. I had the chicken and waffles and my wife had a burger. The fried chicken was good. Burger was average. Good stop if you want a quick meal. read more

Nice new spot a few miles from me, super fast service and great food keep me coming back

This was our first time at Metro Diner but definitely not our last. My bf and I came for breakfast and everything was delicious. You get a ton of food for little cost. When we first walked in, there were platters on the counter waiting to be served and I couldn't get over how amazing every single one of them looked. It was really crowded but we didn't wait too long to be seated. We were seated in the outside area. It was heated and covered and fairly quiet which I enjoyed. The staff was very friendly and fast. I happened to glance at the lunch/dinner side of the menu and I am definitely planning on coming back to see what else they have to offer. Everything I read on the menu sounded delicious. Hope to get back to Metro soon! read more

I come here a lot and never thought to review it until Yelp prompted me to do so, so here I am. It's open 8 am - 8 pm, and you can get at least a portion of their breakfast menu (if not all) all day. They have epic chicken & waffles that are served with a hot honey and a special strawberry compound butter. If you're a weirdo like me, you can get chicken tenders on top instead of fried chicken, which is technically the kids' menu option, but they will do it as a full adult order as well. The most recent time I was here, I was there at breakfast and got to see their full breakfast menu. I got the avocado bacon scramble bowl, plus a side of rye toast, and it was soooo good. I would definitely get this again! read more

I've been around since the 40's. So I remember Horn & Hardart, They made the best American fare. Meat Loaf was a star feature. Metro has managed to tap in on that iconic taste. Metro offers so many American Diner specialties, and does them right... really satisfying and worth a trip or two! I visited the Bensalem location. read more

Polite and consistent service, fair prices, and a menu that offers all the basics you would expect and hope for. I can only speak for the cheesesteaks, meatloaf, and breakfast offerings, which have never disappointed. Restaurant/restrooms are always clean and well stocked. The only downside is during dinner service when they turn down the lights and turn the music up like it's some kind of club. It's simply clunky, weird, and unnecessary. It becomes difficult to have conversation at regular volume when this happens, and is a turnoff. read more

Ordered chicken tenders and avocado toast for pickup from Metro. Decided on going here because it was getting later and close to the hotel. The chicken tenders were okay, but dry. Coleslaw was not very good. Fries were good. The avocado toast was okay but had no seasoning at all, just guacamole and a slice of tomato on it so lacked flavor. I probably would not done here again. It was kind of annoying that you had to order online as they would not accept phone orders. Food was ready when it said it would be ready was the one positive. read more

Metro diner is amazing, incredible food! Usually very busy on the weekends but always has been worth the wait.

I've been here twice for breakfast with a group. We have all been very happy with the food and friendly service, and never have felt rushed to vacate the table. read more

This restaurant is outstanding!!! It's a must go to. The food was absolutely amazing and just as outstanding was the entire staff. By far the most delicious meal I've had at any restaurant and the service and attention of the staff was also incredible. Big shout out to the kitchen staff who work together and very efficiently to make the food taste so good and get the food out in great time. read more

This is an ok diner w several locations. It feels like a chain or a low mid tier hotel restaurant. Weird vibe but totally fine for breakfast. read more

Not your typical Pullman Car diner or really anything "dinerish" at all. More like a small café with breakfast all day and a very nice BLT on toasted rye, crispy fries and freshly brewed iced tea. Service was fast and friendly so any complaints were few and quickly forgotten. Five stars for being in the right place at the right time. read more

We came here on a Sunday for brunch. The wait wasnt that bad- probably about 20 mins but we didn't mind. What we ordered: 1. Fried Chicken and Waffle- 5/5. absolute BEST chicken & waffles I've EVER had! We went with 1/2 a fried chicken vs tenders and extra strawberry butter (which had real strawberry chunks in it too). it came with their sweet and spicy sauce which is just maple syrup and hot sauce mixed together- simple but uniquely delicious. 2. Yo Hala On the Square- 4/5. The blueberry compote was a bit too much in my opinion. This stuffed french toast was definitely loaded...with cream cheese, bananas, berries, and a lot of syrup. Enough for 2 or 3 people to share. Loved this place and so glad we came. Got sad thinking we can't come on the regular since its in Philly but they actually have a lot of locations over the east side. I def recommend for a casual diner experience. read more

First time here. This place was a find (thanks Yelp!). The food was delicious. The service was fast and friendly. Can't wait to come back. So many delicious options to try. My mama loved it too! There are plenty of options for vegetarians and carnivores alike. And the dinner menu looks pretty great too. Have to try to make the trip back to try a few more things on the menu. Definitely worth the trip, but it does get a little crowded so leave yourself time for a wait. read more

Good food and great chicken/desserts. Awesome appetizers. Great family place, for everyone.

Great food and great service! We had breakfast there this morning Denise was our waitress. Denise was awesome probably the best service I've ever had at a diner! read more

Ms. Denise was our waitress. Her conversation and her customer service were stellar. I don't really talk to others about personal matters but it was something about her that was so authentic that made me feel comfortable for me and my family to converse with her. The food was great and again her customer service was stellar. On top of that it was genuine. Thank you Ms. Denise and my nephew is back at school beginning his sophomore year. We will continue to come to the Metro diner. read more

Oh my gosh what a difference this place has been since the last time I've been! I had such a gross experience I think I may never come back. I started with the clam/andouille chowder and it was SO SALTY AND FISHY I almost wanted to throw up. To make it worse, the server came by and saw my full bowl and asked me how it was and I said it was too salty for me to eat and he still charged me. I got the fish and chips and the fish was so soggy and watery! I'm going to assume the fish was fried while still frozen hence why it was nowhere near crispy and with every bite water came out. The fries were also soggy. I honestly had such a terrible dining experience I don't think I'll come back. Hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes and focus on having good quality food again. read more

Was absolutely wonderful! My son had the waffles and chicken, it was so much chicken we had to help him eat it. The bacon there was PERFECT. I had the breakfast burger, bun was a little dry but otherwise it was perfection. Definitely would and did recommend read more

Delicious food, friendly prompt service, reasonable prices for the healthy portions. Would absolutely come back.

The food is just mediocre/amateur. Not great by any means. I have come here 10 times now because out of hunger and trying to find a clean diner we go to this one. But honestly I'm putting the shrimp and grits in my mouth right now and I just want to throw it away. I won't be come ever Again honestly. During my visit the waiter was attentive and helpful. The portions match how much u have to pay. However the taste makes you want a refund. I've tried a different dish every time and it still doesn't help. Parking is plenty and this time we asked for the check which is refreshing that they don't put it on the table when u just get your food. If you're hungry, don't go to this because you might leave full but you'll regret it because of how much you gotta pay for a meal you could've cooked better at home. read more

Solid breakfast at Metro Diner with all the staple sweet and savory favorites plus a few southern comfort additions such as biscuits & gravy, fried chicken & waffles, grits, etc. Food exceeded my expectations.. clean, not greasy, nicely presented and super tasty. Hash browns are a must! Slight wait on a weekend, but the online waitlist is easy to follow and moves quickly. Worth the wait for an awesome breakfast and attentive staff! read more

So there was a lot of hype around this diner opening, but I am not easily impressed with diners so I waited to come and check it out. My hubby and I came in for lunch during the week and it was really busy with customers having both breakfast and lunch options. I win the mood for breakfast options, so decided to just do a Ruben sandwich. The server came to ask me what sides I wanted and I loved that besides chips or fries I was able to get a salad or Mac n cheese! And since I'm 7 months pregnant...I got a Ruben with a side of mac n cheese (which I prolly would've done even if I wasn't preggers). My hubby got a turkey club and fries and then we watched around us as other people's food came. We ended up making conversation with the gentlemen next to me who ordered the chicken and waffles, he had driven over 45 minutes for them because they were his favorite and I had some serious food envy as his crispy chicken and golden waffles arrived. Thankfully our sandwiches weren't too far behind, and I was not disappointed! My Ruben was stuffed with perfectly cooked corned beef, a declious saurkraut and pickle mix and the most amazing sour dough bread. The mac n cheese was steaming hot and was thick and gooey, JUST how I like it! Hubby's turkey club was rather on the plain side (due to his own food issues), but delcious bread as well and perfectly crisp fries. Overall I was very impressed with Metro diner and am excited to return and try the chicken and waffles myself. I will say that the prices are a little steeper than local diners, but you do get large portions, so I guess for quality and bigger portions it's worth it. There is always plenty of parking in the lot and our server was friendly. read more

Overrated. The food did not taste freshly made but reheated. Service messed up my order thrice. I wouldn't recommend

This place is a gem. The customer service is outstanding. Manager walked around & greeted each table. Asked how our food was did we like it did we want to try a different dish instead. He was very polite The chicken platter I had was good chicken was veryyy flavorful (they brine their chicken for 24 hrs) which gives it the perfect bite. They have fresh food. Mashed potatoes were real potatoes you cant get that everywhere. I also had the sausage gravy w biscuits biscuits were fresh. For the chicken & waffles omg I can eat that everyday. Fresh homemade strawberry butter. Fresh brewed iced tea. I'll definitely be back!!! read more

I dined at Metro Diner early on a Saturday morning with 4 of my mom friends. We get together almost monthly and wanted to try somewhere new. The diner wasn't crowded when we arrived at 8:30am, but had a short wait when we left a little after 10am. The diner is pretty open and bright. We were seated in a small section in the back, which was nice because the main dining room seemed really loud as we walked through to leave. The menu had both breakfast & lunch options which is always nice and everyone in my group was happy with the food that they ordered. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Note: there is currently some construction on Street Road right in front of where the diner is, which made it a tad confusing for 2 of the ladies in our group with locating the entrance/diner. read more

Metro Diner - Strawberry cheesecake stuffed waffles - American Near Me - Bensalem, Pennsylvania

Wanted to leave review, we were visiting the area and stopped here for lunch/breakfast. I really liked the flow of the kitchen staff and the food was not only visually appealing and plated well but the taste was great too. The kitchen area is pretty open and you can tell it's a tightly run crew. Definitely will come back next time I'm in town. The wait staff was friendly too. read more

My server Denise was amazing!!! The food was delicious and the vibe of the diner was so welcoming.

So since the last update, I been hear twice... And Hears what I've learned. Don't go by the metro specials on the wall. Those prices are just as high as on the menu.. Something esle I've learned. To bring my own coffee. And something esle to. With the prices of breakfast, someone get breakfast with the bacon and the other person get a platter without bacon and split it. Save your self few bucks.. The service can be much better. This place has so much potential to being the best Diner in Bensalem, only if they would change stuff up. I understand that businesses need to make there money to stay in business... But think about the customers that come in. I've seen people come in sit down. Look at the menu and walk out. The inside of the Diner is nice and clean. And I can't take that away from them. That they did a great job on it. But mabe that has alot to do with it being new. read more
