Decided to try our luck on Father's day. 15 minute wait...no big deal. The crew here is a well oiled machine! Friendly, Fast and really solid "diner food". Our server was super (feel so bad that we cannot remember her name!) I went with the "Meat lover's Scramble bowl". Bacon,sausage,ham,scrambled eggs over hashbrowns topped with hollandaise sauce and cheddar cheese. Perfect portion, not over done...just right. My wife opted for the two egg breakfast with bacon, hash browns and toast. Her eggs were cooked "eggzactly" how she likes them. The portion of bacon was outstanding (because I got a couple rashers!). The hash browns were crispy and "fluffy?". Diner breakfast at its best. Again, KUDOS to the staff....Makes a heck of a difference when the staff can make a basic diner breakfast that much better! read more

I like this place. It's like a better version than ihop but with better customer service and good quality food. They have a variety of food and beverage options. In my opinion the diner is the place to go. Check it out and enjoy a fresh hot meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner)... read more

Excellent food and service! The chicken and waffles were delish and cheese grits were very good. Hubs enjoyed his eggs, sausage, grits and pancakes. Portion sizes are very generous. Definitely would go back! read more

I wanted to try something different and so I thought the Metro Diner was going to be a good option for an early dinner in West Ashley. Unfortunately, I never had a single bite. After being seated I was ignored by five wait staff who spent more time hanging out around the chef's counter. After 7-10 minutes of being ignored in a restaurant, not overly busy, I got up and left. I do not recommend this place or the service. Save your money and do like I did go across the street and spend it at MOD Pizza. read more

I had the mexican scramble bowl (might have the name wrong) it was AWESOME!!! Fresh ingredients, good flavor, enough for 2 people if you are sharing pancakes, or bread pudding for example. Speaking of bread pudding, you must try the apple. The only thing missing fr me was a cup of coffee. It was wonderfully rich. read more

The food was good just like how it was up in Suffolk, Va. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very good service and it was clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Excellent service, fast, responsive. Food was delivered quickly and arrived hot. We came for breakfast. I had the croissant french toast and like other reviewers mentioned, it was a huge portion and delicious! My husband had the southern bowl, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Easy parking, very clean place, would definitely come back! read more

Originally, we were going to Bear E Patch buttttt they are closed on Sundays! My mom suggested Metro Diner and this was a perfectly great substitution! Our party of 3 was able to snatch a table as soon as we walked in. We were greeted by our waiter (I wish I remembered her name) and placed our orders. I had a reservation ordering grits because many people do not produce good grits. I decided to take a risk & I should've listened to my inner thoughts. Those grits were not stirred with soul! Lol I substituted with well done hash browns. Other than that, my meal three meat omelette was delicious! My brother order the chicken and waffle with strawberry butter & my mother order the 3 egg breakfast. Presentation was exceptional. The food was hot and appetizing. I was highly recommend for breakfast or brunch. The waiter was very attentive & aware of our needs. Next time, I definitely want to try their mimosas!! read more

To be honest, I was somewhat apprehensive when my friend suggested Metro Dinner for breakfast after my experiences at 'breakfast' spots in Mt. Pleasant ... the noise, the crowds, poor lighting, meh coffee. So, it was a pleasant surprise to be warmly greeted and immediately seated at Metro. The booth was comfortable and spacious. The interior was bright. Though the place was packed, the noise level was contained ... we actually could converse which, too often, is a rarity these days. In traditional diner fashion, the large menu has 'all day' choices which is always appreciated; however, for me, I zoned in quickly to egg/omelette choices which comfortably fit into my weight watching lifestyle. I found my fav ... a Western Omelette. No problem to make it with egg whites ... all scrambled up? Sure! Substitute a fresh fruit cup for grits or home fries? No problem and no up charge. The portion was generous and well prepared. The coffee was hot which is always a good thing. Service was leisurely and efficient. Sure wish we had a Metro Diner in Mount Pleasant. read more

Me and my wife went on a Sun. morning around 9:30. They were busy, but we were seated right away. Server was very nice. Brought us coffee and she came back in a few minutes to take our order. Food came out very quickly. I got the 3 egg breakfast with bacon, hash browns,and toast. I also got side of grits. It was a ton of food and everything was outstanding. My wife got the pumpkin spice pancakes and she said they were great. Would definitely recommend breakfast, but they also have the full menu all day. read more

This time around I went with breakfast and hit the vegetarian omelet. I wasn't necessarily trying to be healthy, I honestly love a good omelet stuffed with veggies and the asparagus sold me. This one I would give two stars, it was just really dry and blah. The hubs and one of our friends got the Holy Davoli Burger and it lived up to the hype. It's huge and juicy and they both said all positive things. Our other friend got the avocado wrap and really liked it as well! Also noteworthy, they have bloody Mary's for 2.99. The hubs got one and said it was good. They also have 2.99 mimosas which I plan to try at some point! I would still definitely hit this place up, but i wouldn't order the veggie omelet again. I do love the diner vibe and it would be great if you're craving some heavy food. read more

We visited after church this morning, and the place was packed. We ended up waiting 10 minutes longer than we should have, because we never received a text due to an incorrect number being entered. When I asked the hostess about it, she immediately said, "oh my goodness. I'm so sorry. Here, come on." And had a seated immediately. She was so kind. My husband enjoyed fried chicken sandwich and I had the southwestern bowl. Both were great! I will say, $30 for a sandwich and a bowl was a bit steep, but that is OK. We always have had a pleasant experience here! read more

Loved the sausage! Had eggs, hash browns and marina sauce. I was a little weary over the sauce, but it tasted fine. Would like it a little more spicy, however I am now getting into spicy food so nice for someone who doesn't like any spicy! Well balanced! read more

What a fantastic place for both food and atmosphere. I had the privilege to sit at the bar since I was a lone diner. I had just flown in on an early flight and was ravenous. I was looking at a long week of work and just wanted some comfort food. Diners are good for that. Facing the kitchen once my order was placed I witnessed the drama that goes on in a place like this. The whole staff were wearing masks BTW and working in a hot kitchen. Needless to say they were dedicated to serving their customers and keeping everyone safe. The kitchen had their characters; nice cook, surly cook, sous chefs, waitresses and the manager that kept things going. Judging by the steady stream of customers, it was a popular place. Everything that came out of there looked fantastic ! I ordered my usual but I should have ordered the chicken fried steak or the eggs Benedict...argh! So many choices, so little time. read more

Came through on a Monday morning - service is quick and attentive, they carry all the breakfast classics and then some with a few spin on it like cinnamon roll flavors. Went with a simple green tea and poached egg with hashbrowns and a biscuit. You can swap sides to your liking. Tables come prepared with hot sauce, ketchup, creams, and butters. Our server made sure our cups were full and coffee aplenty which is much appreciated!Solid breakfast diner spot -- would definitely return and price is just right. read more

Great first time here! A bit of a wait but estimate was right on. Service was efficient t, courteous and kind. The chicken and waffles (ask for tenders instead of the half chicken) were crisp, salty and sweet. The friend chicken Benedict was great. Hash browns were perfectly cooked. We'll be back! read more

I took my family to lunch. Three excellent Fish & Chips! Dad had a Burger, also excellent. As usual, Stacey was our server. Hard to beat this restaurant for casual dining. read more

A little delayed in writing my review, but I unfortunately had to come to Charleston on an emergency family trip. After a long day of travel and being at the hospital, my mom and I decided to come here for a late meal. They were actually busy at this time on a weekday night, but we were able to get seated quickly. Service was a little slow. Both of us ordered breakfast items - mom got an omelet and I got the cinnamon roll pancakes. I did not try my mom's omelet, but she enjoyed it, although she realized she likes a cheesier omelet. I really enjoyed my pancakes. I love cinnamon rolls and I love pancakes, so this was a fantastic combination - loved the candied pecans on top as well. Our waitress mentioned that these were sweet and to try it without syrup. I did, and she was right in that it was not needed. Very good and would have again, especially since I have a sweet tooth! Yum, my kind of pancakes! Metro was what we needed after a long day - would have preferred a little quicker service, but overall, no big complaints. My only suggestion to others - park in the main parking lot with the grocery store as their restaurant front parking is tight and not easy to navigate if the lot is full. Look forward to coming back to trying other things when I am in town or trying out the location in Charlotte! read more

Metro Diner - Cinnamon roll pancakes - very good! - American Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The service and meal was great, this was my first time there, however I will return the next time visiting this area.

Lyn is a little crazy and Tammie is outrageous. They are one of two of the line cooks here that are hilarious AF!! It was so entertaining as Lyn cracked 10 eggs to make my perfect 2 Eggs Over easy breakfast meal. I wanted to say it was a waste but Lyn would not let anything out of the kitchen that was less than perfect. Danny had the pot roast meal and as Lyn realized it had braised too long and she started over to ensure that we got the perfect pot roast platter that we ordered. This kitchen could use some perfecting, don't get me wrong. They do hold themselves and each other to higher standers which I appreciate. Definitely entertaining and I would come back again at anytime and wait the 1.5 hrs it takes to get inside this piece. read more

Great food here at Metro Diner!! Wide variety of food at Metro!! Busy Diner which means excellent food!! Awesome staff and very courteous! Easy 5 Stars !! read more

We LOVE coming here everyone is extremely friendly, if you are lucky enough to get Tina as your server, you will not be in need of anything. She was amazing, a true to this business. Make sure to read the board when you come, the country fried steak is the best in the area. And the bathrooms are always clean. The place is always busy and I hope you're a coffee drinker, comes close to Tim Horton's, you won't be disappointed read more

Always been a great meal every time my wife and I have went! Same Same Same Same Same same for 85 characters

The Metro Diner is a favorite stop for us whenever we find ourselves in West Ashley. It is usually quick service, the prices are reasonable and the servers are TOP NOTCH! Tonight we had Dawn, a personable lady who never left us hanging for a drink refill or other necessities. We usually visit in the mornings, but, a drop off at the airport meant a late evening stop for some of their fabulous fried chicken and a teriyaki steak bowl. Both were great and then there was room for the Pumpkin Bread Pudding. **chef's kiss** My seasonal favorite. I also need to add that they serve one of my favorite plates year-round....the turkey and dressing plate. Sometimes you just want a taste of Thanksgiving, even if it's Summer, y'all. So, swing by and ask for Dawn. If she's not there, any of those other fine servers will hook you up. read more

Crowded and noisy had to wait but was very good service and my croissant was excellent. There was a waitress there called Andali or Anali or close who not only provided superb service but was one of the most pleasant and charming waitresses I have ever had in South Carolina. You are lucky to have her. We will definitely return no matter how busy! read more

This diner quite possibly has the nicest staff in Charleston. They're always pleasant, helpful, and on it! You can't say that about too many other restaurants in Charleston, including the fancy ones. The service here does make you feel like they're doing you a favor. It's usual diner food, but done well and affordable. If you're looking for a quality breakfast or lunch, or a no-frills but yummy dinner--check out this diner. read more
