Great food, great service, manager was giving a friendly greeting to all the customers. We will definitely be back!

The wait was short, food was great,staff polite and knowledgeable. Great atmosphere! When we got to the restaurant we were told that their was maybe a 20 minute wait. We were seated in 10 minutes. read more

Service was great; food was delish! They have a nice variety for breakfast/brunch and large portions; hash browns were perfect.

Been to three different Metro diners. All have been terrific. Great food. Great service. Very friendly staff. Also have outside seating if you have your pet with you. read more

Good food at a reasonable price. It's a little loud, but the 2.99 all day mimosas make it worth it. My favorite part of the diner was the staff. Fantastic service and attitudes. Will be back read more

This is an excellent restaurant in both service and food. Rita is amazing, as are her team members. They are wearing masks and gloves, letting you know they are serious about their customers safety. We offer weekly just to assure Metro stays in Bradenton! read more

Great go to restaurant for home style food and reasonable prices. Order carry out at least twice a week. Stuart is very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend. read more

Went for breakfast this morning. Not that great. Lots of comparable restaurants around the area with better food at a lower price.

Friendly and fast service. Didn't know they have wine n beer. Hostess sat us and told us all the specials which i loved knowing first thing. Fried chicken was done perfect, juicy n crisp. Salty and no other spice detected. Salmon dinner was good. Farm raised for sure. I would get it again though. Definitely a place we will return to. read more

Great food, everyone loved it. Have been to another location and it has consistently great quality. Huevos rancheros are a must, as is the chicken and waffles. Great seasoning on the chicken. The croissant and cinnamon pancakes are both amazing as well. read more

For only being open for 2 months, this place is hopping! No waiting, but the dining area is mostly occupied. The sandwiches are large and well worth the price. The chips are house made and crunchy. The mashed potatoes were really good. The wait staff are hustlers, Kandice stopped by our table several times, but not in an overbearing way. Definitely will be back read more

Very friendly staff, Jennifer was very nice. Excellent food for a reasonable price as it also looks nice and clean inside.

The first time I went I had the absolute best fried chicken ever (seriously beyond perfect) and very nice house made chips. The second time I had a real good steak & cheese, some ok fries, and some fabulous potato soup. The third time I talked my husband into the fried chicken and it was just kinda ok. I was real disappointed for his sake. My tomato soup was too thick and too peppery and I love pepper. I put pepper on almost everything but not that soup! The chicken salad was a mouth full of salt and stale bread and the chips where just this side of burnt. So, two good meals outta three... hmmm. I'll go back but I'm reserving the rest of the stars for now and we'll see what the future holds... read more

Ordered delivery...forgot half my order. I spoke to Kylie the "manager". She told me she packed the order herself and told me there must of been a glitch on Uber even though I got the side that was supposed to go with the actual meal I was missing...I called back to let her know I'm pretty sure there wasn't a glitch since I received the side that came with the meal as well as letting her know I've worked in restaurants that work with Uber eats as well as deliver with them. She could really care less and told me to go through the app to get a refund. I'm just annoyed, be honest and admit you forgot half my order rather than blow smoke up my a** and be condescending about it to me on the phone. If it was me I would be apologizing and offering further compensation as a manager. read more

Sigh. Had high hopes because I lived in Jacksonville where this place was started. Definitely not like the ones up there. They are still working out the service kinks. The food was okay. Too loaded with salt. Diluting the brand via franchises. read more

Stopped at the Bradenton location for breakfast as I was intrigued by the inclusion of Diner in the name. I was not disappointed. I found the staff to be welcoming and pleasant and very attentive to my needs. I ordered a traditional Eggs, sausage, home fries and toast breakfast and the food did not disappoint. I am from the northeast and Metro was able to get as close as you can to that Diner atmosphere as they can without alienating southern guests. I will return and sample lunch and dinner in the near future as soon as I can. read more

Just ate there today and it was great. The server was excellent and the food was delicious and prepared just the way I liked. Clean, hostess very sweet, and great service. read more

We had great service and great food.. my addition is in need of schooling. I called and spoke with the assistant manager Keillor (sp) and she corrected my bill We will be back read more

We received a voucher in the mail for a discount, so we gave it a try. We ordered the chicken parmesan dinner. It was overcooked, burned on the edges and bottom and dry. Even worse, it was HEAVILY spiced with red pepper!! The owner/manager walked around the dining area asking customers how their meal was, and we were open and honest. We told her it was burned and waaay too spicy. I showed her my blackened and burned chicken. She just said, "yes, people just like spicier food these days". More spice?...maybe if we go to a Mexican restaurant, but not with chicken parmesan. Our server was good and the food arrived in a timely fashion, but if they keep over-spicing their food I can't see them being a long term success. We "might" try it again, but I doubt it. We have friends that say the same. read more

Ah! A beautiful addition to Bradenton! We were seated quickly, our server was very attentive, and our orders arrived faster than I expected. Portions are huge- perfect for leftovers or sharing. We will be back! read more

Friendly staff!! AMAZING food! Large portions! Definitely should not leave there hungry!! And flavored mimosas! Yes please!!

Our second time here, I ordered the shepherds pie and I have to say I was very disappointed in it... all it was is mashed potatoes with cheese and gravy I think I found 2 very small pieces of meat and 1 piece of corn for the vegetables... the fried chicken was good and the seafood platter was good. Great service and friendly staff just disappointed with my meal. Will go back though as other food is great read more

Good home cooked meal with good service. Various menu options with a clean looking restaurant. Would go there again for breakfast or for dinner read more

I came in today for a late breakfast with a dear friend of mine. It was our first time coming to The Metro Diner. We had gotten a flyer in the mail to come check it out. As soon as we came through the doors we were greeted with a warm smile from a lovely lady named Dominique. She showed us to our table which was just past the counter. I thought it was quite neat to see the cooks as we walked by. My friend noticed how clean and organized the entire place was. Once we sat down, Dominique directed our attention to the blackboard that the specials were written nicely on. We sat at our booth and were greeted quickly by another lovely lady named Shannon. She introduced herself and asked us if we had dined with Metro before. We showed her our flyers, and told her it was our first time. She kneeled down and went over the history of Metro and that the kitchen was a "scratch" kitchen where guest meals were prepared to order. She went over the specials on the blackboard and made some great suggestions for drinks. We both decided to try the $2.99 everyday Bloody Marys with a side glass of water. She returned pretty quickly with two of the most beautiful Bloody Marys we had seen (and they tasted GREAT). We weren't quite ready to order (so many choices) so she asked if she could make some suggestions. We were all for it! Shannon took us through the menu, pointing out popular items along with some of her favorites. Her menu knowledge was really great. Every question we had, she had an immediate answer! She then told us to enjoy a few sips of our Bloody Marys and catch up (we told her it had been quite some time since we last saw one another) and look through the menu. A few minutes had past and she returned with water to top off our glasses. We decided on the Shephard's Pie each. Not long passed at all before a nice boy brought our pies out. You could see the steam coming off of them!!! Shannon came by just right after and asked us if there was anything else we needed. We said no. She must have heard us say that the pies would be awesome with some bread, because before we even asked she was there with three baguette rolls and butter. Talk about service!!!!!! We watched as she very attentive to her tables. The owner, Rita even stopped by to ask how everything was and if it was our first time. We told her that the food was absolutely delicious and Shannon was such a delightful server. The diner was busy, but we never felt rushed or neglected. All of our needs were well beyond met. The best part was that my friend and I wanted to chat more and Shannon continued to be attentive to us long after we had paid our bill. It was nice to be in a place that didn't treat you like a number but like a real "guest". We will definitely be back!!!!! read more

Been there twice. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly. I had the chicken tenders both times because they are amazing! They brine their chicken and it makes all the difference in the world! read more

went to lockridge to eat. we got to meatloaf dinners beef tips was not what I call meatloaf, we are use to good ground beef, tomatoes,onions,binder, what we got was nothing like that, the beef tips looked nothing like the menu, It was more like pulled beef not what I wanted. The vegetable were good The bloody was the best my wife has had in a long time. the service was good.Would not go there for dinner again the other couple with us agrees, Who knows maybe the eggs are better read more

This is the best way to end my night of taking care 50 residents. Won't go unless my girl Leslie the best waitress in Bradenton is working. Best food in area. LESLIE thanks for making my Wednesday mornings GREAT. read more

Had a very nice meal. Staff were very pleasant and advised us on the menu. Good service. Very nice atmosphere.

This was our first time and was really impressed with the menu online and was very anxious to try it. Ordered the chicken pot pie and was brought the beef pot pie, which was one of the dinner specials. After returning it, they brought me the chicken pot pie, which I found to be on the dry side (lacking sauce). I lifted up the "biscuit topping" with my fork and was hoping it was just me, but found the chicken chunks very dry. After eating 2 or 3 bites, that wasn't all I found!! I lifted up the biscuit topping again hoping I could magically stir up some sauce maybe from the bottom and found the finger end of one of the kitchen staff's plastic glove. Well, that was it for me. Not interested in going back to find the rest of the glove!! read more

I have been there 3 times in one week - great service - food - large portions -with a great menu - Rita the mgr has this place cranking - need to give this place a try - absolutely amazing ! read more

Good food but a bit pricey for what you get. The cooks yelling where the entire restaurant can hear it is not very pleasurable.

Service was horrible waitress cassie didn't even come to our table until the assistant manger came to our table and took our drink order. All Cassie did was drop them that was it. She was walking passed our table several times eating. I counted 6 server's and no one really waiting on tables. read more
