    Half of the menu
    Linda J.

    Came for breakfast for four people. As usual, the service was very friendly and the food was excellent. The avocado toast looked great--large pieces with plenty of avocado and tomato. The Belgian waffle was actually a Belgian waffle, light and crispy. The southwest bowl disappeared quickly, and my stepson announced he'd gladly return any time. I got the cinnamon roll pancakes, and that was a bit of a disappointment. The pancakes were huge. The flavor was decent. But I was looking forward to the cream cheese icing, and the amount of that was absolutely pitiful. Maybe a teaspoonful? Honestly, I would have expected about 10 times the amount I got. I'm still giving 5 stars because of the service and the overall food quality. I just won't order this item again.

    This place is a solid breakfast spot. We had great service and the food came out pretty quickly even though they were pretty busy. The kitchen was absolutely bustling They have specials on the board. My avocado toast was delicious. The bread was perfect. The hash browns ordered extra crispy came out perfect. The coffee tasted burnt. I would come back. The prices are fair for what you get

    The Metro Diner in Brunswick has been open for around three weeks. As a result, I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt with four stars and I definitely hope to be able to give five stars when I return sometime in the future. Base upon our experience, I would highly recommend that you eat at the restaurant and not do takeout. After we placed our to go order, we were quoted 10 to 15 minutes for the food to be ready. We ended up waiting over 25 minutes. It appeared as though some items were made quickly and other ones took a considerable longer time. For example, the Eggs Benedict was ready in around 10 minutes. The sandwiches and burgers with fries took another 15 minutes. So, while the fries tasted warm and well seasoned when we got home, the Eggs Benedict was not warm at all. While we sat in the restaurant waiting for our food, we made a number of observations. First, it appears as though the servers are well prepared, but the kitchen may be struggling a little. For example, not only were the wait times long, but the accuracy of the order was lacking. We had ordered two sandwiches and one burger, but we were given two burgers and one sandwich. Therefore, I would highly suggest opening the sealed bag and checking your order before you leave the restaurant. With all of that said, the interior of the restaurant is warm and inviting. They have a counter where you can dine alone or as a couple as well as many tables and chairs. Mallory and the rest of the staff were friendly. The next time I'm in the Brunswick area, I will definitely return to the Metro diner, and I look forward to giving them a second chance to earn a five star review. Cheers

    Grilled (burnt) chicken caeser salad
    Cheryll H.

    Ordered the grilled chicken Caesar salad and the chicken was dry and burnt. Our waitress, Alize S., was super super friendly and very personable. First visit probably won't be back.

    Belgian Waffle.  It was spectacular!

    The place is pretty good. Friendly service, that was probably one of the best service experience I have had in a long while. Great job B. M. The atmosphere was nice. Very clean and inviting. A nice surprise upon entering. Well laid out. The food was really good. From the cakes to the entrees, well done. Worth your time and money, if you're looking for a nice place to eat out.

With the mixed reviews, we knew were were in for a great meal or a bad one, we were not expecting anything in between. It clearly leaned toward the later. The cleanliness of the dishes were hit in miss. You could pick up a plate or fork and it would have dried food on and so you go get another. The restaurant itself is very large and looks really nice. We were very happy with the service provided to us. The best thing on the menu was the fried pork chop, fried chicken, and mashed potatoes. OK as long as she's had plenty of sauce, but I didn't see the fried ribs they were talking about that I was looking forward to trying. The fried shrimp was popcorn shrimp and wasn't great and they didn't offer fish this night or at least we didn't see it. Most if not all the vegetables were cold and had little flavor. The worst dish by far was the fried Okra. One bite and I was done From the dessert bar I enjoyed the banana pudding and had two helpings. The wife thought the pecan pie was pretty good. She absolutely hated the lemon meringue pie which was grainy in texture an overly sweet. And both of us thought the coconut cream pie was not good at all. Again if you're a big eater and you like quantity and lots of options, this place is perfect for you but for us it's not a good deal.

Because the restaurant is downtown there is plenty of free street parking spaces right outside the door. There is a bar, with bar seating, The other seating consisted of normal table with hard back chairs, and couches that ran down the side of the wall with tables, and hard back chairs on the other side. Overall, the service was adequate, not good, and certainly not great, but good enough not to stop us from enjoying our night out. I started with what was supposed to be a cup of Tomato Bisque but received and paid for a bowl. Somewhat my fault for not realizing that my serving and what I paid for was large and more expensive than the cup I ordered. With that said, I thought the flavor of the bisque served with, Garlic Buttered Crostini, and grated Smoked Gouda was outstanding. The temperature could have been a bit warmer, but again the flavor was sport on. The wife and I split a very large bowl of PEI Mussels. The Mussels were served in a white wine broth with Shallots, Garlic, Roasted Tomatoes, and Bacon. Honestly, I could and did finish the broth off as a soup. There were quite a few Mussels that did not open, but the bowl was so large, we wouldn't have eaten them anyway. The wife's main dish was the Pan Seared Sea Scallops, with peach and bacon risotto, and fresh Spinach. The dish was finished with an amazing Bourbon Peach Brown Butter Reduction. The scallops were large, the Risotto was great, but the brown butter reduction was the absolute star of the dish. For my main dish I had the Curried Lamb Lollipops, served over Cilantro Basmati Rice, and roasted Tomatoes with an excellent curry sauce. The chops were of good size and cooked to perfection. And please don't even get me started on the fired Garlic Butter Paratha which is some of the best bread I have ever had. My mistake was ordering a side of the Peach and Bacon Risotto similar to what was served with the scallop dish. Without the Bourbon Peach Brown Butter Reduction however, the risotto ate a little dry and had little to no peach flavor. I finished my meal with a bourbon , Mascarpone, bread pudding, which was amazing. The dish was loaded with bourbon which both my wife and I agreed was not completely cooked off. Great dish to finish an outstanding meal. Even with a few minor missteps, the overall flavor of the dishes were so good, I still must give it an overall 5.

Sadly no luck there but she then shared a name of a local towing company she was familiar with and recommended. After calling for help and receiving a 30 min ETA she sat me in Amber's section. I explained that my wallet was locked in my car but she took my order and shared a "burnt toast" concept that made me smile.

Sadly, it took me a while to write this review and after a few weeks I seem to have forgotten the hostess's name.

I've never eaten at a Cheddar's before but these two made this experience absolutely exceptional.

I'm hoping her spectacular energy and intentions come back to her tenfold though...she truly saved the day for me!

The owner is very friendly but the Pho is unfortunately the worst I've ever had (I've had pho more times than I count across more than 7 different states) and our experience, aside from our interaction with the owner, was subpar. To start, the restaurant itself is very hot, no AC, just fans. The walls and tables were dirty and greasy. Looks like a hole in the wall place, which gave me hope that the pho would taste authentic but I was severely mistaken. Also, because of the no AC they had the doors open which led to flies landing on our food and water as well as being splashed by the pouring rain coming into the restaurant. Our waitress did not pay much attention to us and when asking her the difference between some of the pho options she said "I don't know because there's nothing on the menu that I like" LOL she also complained that the owner was "cheap" when explaining that they don't have an ice machine and she would have to crush up ice in a towel using a hammer. Anyway, my husband and I were willing to overlook all of this if the Pho was worth it. We both got the Pho Bo (beef noodle soup) and he got his spicy. If you've never had authentic pho, you might like it. However, if you've have good Pho before, you will most likely not enjoy this. It was the blandest greasiest broth I had ever had. It didn't even taste like pho. At all the pho restaurants I've ever been to, they provide extra garnishes like lime, jalapeño, bean sprouts etc. We did not get anything other than the limes I asked for my water because they didn't have lemon. They didn't even give us spoons for the broth, I had to ask for them. Both my husband and I ate less than half of our small bowls before we decided to just leave. It's a shame because the owner is incredibly friendly but we will not be returning.
