    Fried chicken Benedict
    Rebecca A.

    Solid 4 star diner. After having breakfast here twice, the service is always great and the food is solid. This last visit we had a party of 10 and everyone enjoyed their meals. Everything was timely, and hot. This was my second time getting a dish with their hollandaise sauce. It's not my favorite, so I'll probably not get it again. It has an aftertaste I can't pin point. But besides the sauce, all the other food I've had is great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The diner has plenty of parking and does a ton of to-go orders as well as being close to full capacity both times I went.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Western Omelet
    Justin J.

    Service was good and fast, food wasn't great. Coffee tasted like cheap Kuerig, or maybe it was REALLY old. Breakfast burger was so incredibly thick it was nearly impossible for my kid to eat and the bun was greasy, there was so much grease on this. My western omelette was good and kudos for using fresh mushrooms, but the hash browns were so greasy I had a couple bites and had to stop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall it was like a fancy Waffle House, which isn't terrible but it's not great either.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] J.Ja

    Spicy Honey Chicken Sandwich
    Mattie E.

    My son and I went for lunch. I got the eggs Benedict as I had never had it before and he got a grilled chicken sandwich. I wasn't a huge fan of the eggs. I had just started going Gluten Free so there were not many options but I have since learned how to substitute easier. I did eat Gluten on this day. I wasn't a fan of the creamy sauce. The hash-browns were amazing. Now, the sauce may be great as this was my first taste of Eggs Benedict so I don't have anything to compare it to. It just wasn't for me. My son really enjoyed his sandwich. I don't remember the price here but the service was good. It's clean and has that Diner Vibe to it. We'll go back for sure.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute breakfast spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a large group on a busy Saturday morning but thankfully we were seated quickly since we opted to sit outside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]With the sun shining and the heat lamps it was a perfect setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was great. Super friendly and personable. Everyone was super sweet and their customer service was truly top tier. I ordered the chicken biscuit and mac & cheese as my side. I know, it's not a typical mashup but I had a craving. The biscuit was delicious. Spicy & sweet although I would have loved a little more spice. And the mac and cheese was tasty. Nothing special, very reminiscent of Kraft. Overall, the visit was really enjoyable. I would absolutely come back and try more of their menu as they had lots of options.

    My husband and I tried Metro Diner today for an early diner. This is located in West Ashley in the shopping center with Ulta and Homegoods. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a small diner with a super fun vibe. They had great music playing and everyone was upbeat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They serve breakfast specials all day. They also have sandwiches and entrees like meatloaf and spare ribs. I decided to have breakfast. I had the Avocado and bacon scrambled. This was scrambled eggs over hashbrowns with avocado, bacon and topped with delicious hollandaise sauce. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The service was fast and friendly. I liked that they checked us out right at the table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a fun place with delicious food. Cute and quaint diner/local vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be back to try the carrot cake waffles!

    I've been looking for a neighborhood diner and I found it. Usually I start off with complimenting the food, but I have to give it to the wait staff, this place has phenomenal service. Every single person we spoke to was a so friendly and helpful, they checked in on us. I love their seasonal menu items, specifically the pumpkin spice pancakes ... they were everything my fall heart desired. The only thing missing from this place is cold brew or iced coffee.

    My wife and I decided to give the Metro Diner a try. This was first time for us. We were welcomed and seated as soon as we walked into the restaurant. The menu had lots of great food and they serve breakfast all day long. I decided on the half rack of bbq ribs, with two sides. The ribs were excellent, cook to perfection. The coleslaw and the broccoli sides were delicious as well. Good food at reasonable prices. We will definitely go back again. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Update: We returned to Metro because it was so great last time!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Again the food, service & whole vibe within Metro was spot on... absolutely delicious & exactly as we wanted!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Spicy honey chicken sandwich with fruit side.
    Hen N.

    Fast service and amazing staff. Brian is the best server around. The establishment gives off the normal diner atmosphere with tables off to the side and a bar right next to the open kitchen. Food tasted great and came quickly. The fruit tasted great, and the chicken was amazing. Would love to try the other things on the menu next time.

    Dis

    Sadly I had poor experience . My guests and I all ordered the same Fish and Chips. I sent-mine back twice. It had an odd odor. It was an old smell. I changed to the turkey. Paired with lousy dressing and almost mashed potatoes with brown gravy , not turkey or even chicken gravy. Please skip these items. My meal was a great disappointment and ruined the occasion. One fish order had bones. What type of fish are they using? Poorly filleted. Dorothy the server did a good job and I hoped she wasn't rattled too much. I asked for the manager and she was great. She didn't charge me for my meal. The problem is the rarity of the three of us having lunch together.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Jacqueline T.

    Delicious food at an affordable price. This was our first time eating at this establishment. My boyfriend received a coupon for 50% off an entree. We ordered the cheese curds (a special of the day), a fried chicken sandwich served with a garden salad. Everything was excellent and filling. I don't even need to eat dinner, that's how large the portions are. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was packed and for a good reason.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely dine there again. The hostess and waitress were very sweet as well.

    The food was flavorful and they definitely had enough options to satisfy families or large parties. Their kids menu was unmatched and the portions were also great for the kids. Dante was the manager there accommodated our little family for our entire visit. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be recommending them to out of town guests!

    A review posted in honor of the experience one of my friends had this past week -…read more My husband and I came to Charleston specifically for the food, and out of all the amazing meals we had, Miller's All Day was hands down our favorite. We came for breakfast and started with the banana bread with Nutella cream cheese -- absolutely incredible. We also split the cornmeal pancakes, which were so good we came back the next morning just to have them again. I ordered the B.E.C. with the home fries, and I can honestly say they may have been the best potatoes I've ever had in any form. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and they practically melted in my mouth. My husband had the turkey club and said it was fantastic as well. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and memorable. We loved it so much we went back the very next day. 10/10 -- highly recommend if you're visiting Charleston!

    We came here on a weekday afternoon and there was already a 15-minute wait to be seated…read more We ordered the chicken and waffle salad, the grits, the pimento cheese and crackers and the avocado toast. Everything was pretty standard and there was not something that we absolutely loved. The grits were a heavier dish while the avocado on the toast was more like a spread. The chicken and waffle salad had waffle "croutons" but it kind of just tasted like an older waffle dried up. The chicken in the salad was a little thicker than it should have been. The pimento cheese and crackers were very tasty. The ambiance is fast casual and it is very hush there. Our server Hamilton was very kind and helpful.

    Stopped in on a really hot day…read more I opted for the pepperoni pizza because it's supposed to be made in a brick fire oven. Taleggio was recommended to the party sitting next to us, but they had them add sausage, which I wish I had done, but I didn't know about it until my order was already put in. With that said, the pepperoni pizza was definitely a four out of five. The only thing that would have made it a five out of five was a little bit more moisture to the crust or some type of garlic butter to it. The flavor was really good on the pepperoni. The crust was nice and chewy as far as the underneath. 4/5 Before I tasted it, when the waitstaff, who wasn't our waiter, ended up bringing the pizza to us, they asked if we needed anything. We asked for a sauce. I asked them what sauces they had. They gave us a couple of options. I picked two sauces, but unbeknownst to me, those sauces were dips, and the dips were $3 each. The young lady did not tell us that, unfortunately. One of the sauces was a garlic sauce, and the other thing was the restaurant's rendition of ranch. Both were rather bland. I'd have to give them a 2 out of 5. They weren't nasty, but they lacked flavor. My wife ordered this shishuka, which would be the eggs, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. She gave it a four out of five. I tasted it. The eggs were bland to me. I would give it a three out of five based on the two forkfuls that I had, but the waitstaff was amazing. I definitely want to go back to try their brunch and to try that other pizza without the extra sauces.

It was unique with the different flavors and textures on top that came together really nicely. Almond frangipane scone- I'm not the biggest fan of dried fruit in baked goods, but otherwise thought this was tasty and would want to get a scone/biscuit without dried fruit next time. Would recommend. Cinnamon twist- Tasty! Not mind blowing, but we enjoyed and would get again. Best friend/chocolate chip cookie- Loved that it was crispy on the outside and chewy in the center part and that it used a darker chocolate. Jam sesh- This was not our favorite and we wouldn't get it again. We just didn't think all the flavors worked together. Short + Sweet- The coffee cake was maybe a little overbaked.

The vibe is still effortlessly cozy and creative--flowers, greenery, unusual Christmas gifts, and those little bakery touches that make you want to linger over your latte.

I tried a couple of their seasonal items, and once again the flavors were bright, fresh, and a little unexpected in the best way. Their baked goods are still the standout--beautifully made, not overly sweet & just delicious. It's the kind of place where you can sit with a book, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy a slow morning with coffee and something delicious. Consistently great atmosphere, consistently great food, and a place that really gets better with every visit. Why did it take so long to return. I've now placed it in the top of my list for a great coffee spot.
