When I went inside I knew this diner was a welcoming place I had the Wisconsin burger with fries. The burger I had with the gravy on the side. The fries were the freshest I have had in years. Very hot which meant they were fresh out of the fryer read more

This place was busy but we got in quickly and service was good. Food was great the chicken and waffles was extremely good. First time I've had spicy maple syrup with chicken. WOW is all I can say. read more

My wife and I went for a quick breakfast after a doctors appointment. We have been to Metro Dinner before but not this location. So we gave it try. Now we are trying to eat mostly protein and no carbs so finding somewhere that does breakfast was the goal. We got there around 09:30 and there wasn't many people there. We walked in and it took a few minutes for someone to greet us but they finally did. After we were seated we started looking at the menus. The smell of syrup and breakfast was very distracting at times. Unfortunately it took a good 10-15 minutes for anyone to even come to our table. When they finally did we ordered. I got the "Protein Breakfast." My wife got a scramble bowl with several meats. Being that we have been here before we expecting some pretty hearty plates. When the food came out, it was a little disappointing. As you can see in the picture mine was not the biggest it could have been. For the price we paid I would expect more. The food was good, not the best. Unfortunately I would say this wasn't the best experience. The food being just ok and the price and the fact that the waitress (who was very nice) just wasn't able to give us her attention at all. The final price came out to $32 before tip. I would have been happy paying $20-25 at the most. Maybe we will give it another try but I'm not sure. read more

We had a great breakfast for dinner. I had the Denver omelette and my dear wife had a fruity waffle. April was our waitress, and treated us great. The food was yummy and the service was wonderful. We will be back again. Our compliments to this great establishment and wishes for a great Holiday season too. Marty & Alicia read more

Great American diner food. Breakfast is the specialty and its was superb. Fast, hot, and with regular coffee refills the wife got fried chicken tenders and she said were some of the best she's had (high praise for her!). Overall a good experience. read more

Cannot find the Pineville location on here. The food was ok but when you get your bill for lunch you get to pay Dinner price even though you were handed a Lunch menu. This was a group of seven celebrating seeing each other after not seeing each other for 45 years. Thanks Metro!!! read more

We've been here for lunch and it wasn't bad. Yesterday we came for breakfast, it was really bad. I had chicken benedict. The poached eggs were cooked solid. It was like having hard boiled eggs on top of the chicken. The chicken was way overcooked as well. It was completely dried out, inedible. The biscuit underneath was ok, I ate that. My wife has eggs and pancakes. You actually needed a knife to cut the pancakes, they had the consistency of rubber. I'm not sure how you achieve that, but they did. We're crossing them off our list for breakfast choices. read more

This place is a favorite of families - it is efficient and friendly and good. We came with 4 kids and 7 adults and they took great care of us . Most all of us had breakfast - i had the Croissant French Toast - mouthwatering! 3 of them had Meat Lovers Bowls with Fried eggs. We had a couple Vegans who had potatoes and Avocado Toast . And all the kids had Pancakes which they loved ! The Lunch and Dinner food is great too ! Really try it ! You wont be disappointed!! read more

The restaurant was clean with bright energy. It was so good I didn't take a picture before eating! Reed gave amazing service and made the experience enjoyable with his genuine kindness and help. I had the fried chicken and waffles and my boyfriend had the avocado sandwich, with a side of eggs and hash browns. The fried chicken comes with a special sauce if you're a first time goer, which Reed made right in front of us. read more

Imagine your favorite junk food elevated to a brunch worthy of your Sunday morning - that's exactly what this delightful spot is all about. A fair warning though - there's a wait time that might make you question your life choices, but patience is a virtue here. It pays off with a generous plate of comfort food, prepared with a twist that will make your taste buds do a double-take. The standout was the Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict that my husband and I shared. It wasn't just good; it was a 'cancel all my plans, I need a moment to appreciate this' kind of good. A plate of happiness that makes you want to applaud the audacity of mixing classic brunch with feel-good, old-fashioned junk food. Their service didn't lag behind either. We were treated like treasured guests from the moment we stepped in until the time we (reluctantly) left. I'm offering this spot a solid four stars. Yes, the wait can test your patience, and no, it's not a five-star gourmet feast. But for a hearty, playful, and satisfying brunch that hits the spot with creativity and flavor? It's a winner. Pack your appetite and your sense of food adventure, and give it a go. Just be ready for a deliciously good time! read more

This place is delicious! I usually go for breakfast and love everything I get! I'm sure the other food is good too, but the breakfast is so good you're gonna want to get it all day! My favorite thing to get is the Bissell Breakfast because it has a little bit of everything. I also switch out the pancakes from regular to cinnamon swirl. Today I tried a new flavor they had, Red Velvet. The cinnamon pancakes are hard to beat, but I would definitely order the red velvet again! Check out the photo, it makes my mouth water. My husband loves to get the omelet, those are delicious and packed full! So many good options, great staff and a homey vibe! You need to check this place out! read more

I haven't been here in over a year due to Covid. I'm happy to see and experience the same exceptional service and delicious food. I came early on. Sunday morning and the wait was nit bad, about 10 minutes. I knew exactly what I wanted; chicken and waffles with the table side spicy-maple syrup, a side of fruit and some good string coffee. Metro did not disappoint and delivered the crispiest chicken, hot out the fryer with strawberry whipped butter. I'm now laying on my couch in a delighted food coma read more

The waitress was young female by name of Alexis, she was so pleasant and accommodating. She had a couple that came in before us and later that told her they were leaving because it was taking too long for their food. She took time to talk with them and approached the cooks to get the couple their food. We were already eating and again we came in after them. As Alexis tried to get what she needed from the cook, the kitchen manager, Andre Perkins was behind the counter there and he spoke so rudely to her. She was pleasant with him to point where she finally said "you are being rude to me" and he told her she could just clock out. Our food was good and she still served us with a smile, even when he insulted her in front of us/customers. We spoke to him directly and told him that he was out of order and a good, well trained manager never insults an employees in front of customers. I wonder if he treats all his employees that way, or he just single her out for a specific reason? I pray the manger of Andre Perkins (Amber Wise) offer him additional management training or fire his A. read more

Great food, great service, great prices, great staff! Coffee and Fruity Belgian waffle are my go-to's!!

Service was efficient and food was plentiful and just as you would expect a good breakfast joint. We ordered chicken sandwiches, shrimp & grits, fish and chips, chicken & waffles (adult portion came w deep fried half chicken: breast, wing, leg & thigh) and a kid's version of chicken & waffles (half waffle and two chicken tenders) Good food -- all this for $100, including tip! read more

Visited the location one other time besides this one it was good food was fresh came the second time chicken was overcooked cold green beans. We're not warm at all. Lukewarm fish was too salty. Bad experience second time. read more

Saturday morning brunch and this place was hopping. We sat near the short order and kitchen area which gave me a front row seat to the efficiency of Metro. The eggs were cooked just right, and the waiter gave me a choice of chewy or crispy bacon, nice. The tables were turned pretty quickly, and I didn't ever seeing a group waiting. Back to the short order show, they were constantly taking in order to go, dine in and delivery with very efficient speed. There wasn't loud noise or talking from the kitchen or the wait staff that you hear a lot of times in pressure cooker situations like this, so bravo Metro. We'll be back. read more

I love a diner. Don't you just live a diner? The food, the ambiance, the food, the service, the food. I was having a horrible, not very good kind of a morning. I needed a pick me up. Eggs Benedict with hashbrowns. How bad can that be? Friendly staff and quick service was figurative hollandaise on the eggs. I did pick me up, although my day didn't get much better. At least I had a great breakfast. read more

Metro Diner - Eggs Benedict with Hashbrowns - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I have to say how blown away I was by this place's interior! It's very unsuspecting in the exterior but inside it is a pretty cool place! Servers are a lively bunch and super friendly. We were sat right away and were taken care of very well. I had gotten Fried Chicken & Waffle and it was pretty darn good. I also had some of their famous butter too, very delicious and honestly, it surprised me how much I enjoyed it! I had some of that syrup they mix up in front of you too- it was hilarious ! I definitely recommend coming out here for some good vibes and good food. Pricing was very fair and I think I see another visit for myself in the future! read more

This place is similar to some of the classic breakfast spots. There was a small wait, but once seated the service was great and the food came quickly. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles. There was so much food- 4pcs of chicken. I could not finish it all. The waitress mixed up this syrup and hot sauce combo for my dipping pleasure. It was quite delicious. I'll be back to try some other options on the menu. read more

Just learned about this great place. The cheese curds are the best way to start a meal. Then the Shrimp and Grits make it a great meal. But when you have a great server like Paula. It makes the whole environment enjoyable. read more

Just got into Charlotte for a convention and we needed food. Our party of four found this spot near our hotel. We were seated right away on a Thursday morning. The waitress was pleasant and gave us our menus and they also had weekly specials posted on a huge blackboard at the back of the restaurant. All of us ordered Chicken and Waffles and I got a side of cheese grits. The meal came with there signature sweet and spicy sauce which we weren't to sure about. We asked for that on the side and she said she would make it at our table. The Fried Chicken and waffles came to the table and it looked and smelled amazing. The waitress proceeded to mix hot sauce with syrup at our table. Honestly, we were giving her the side eye like "what are we going to do with that?". she said it was used as a dipping sauce. Well, I love hot sauce and I love pretty much everything on the carb spectrum(yep, we not gonna even talk about it), so I said I would try it. When I tell you the flavors wrapped themselves around my tongue and it was a most joyous occasion, y'all better believe me. Such a simple thing but who knew. The waffles were fluffy and the strawberry butter was an amazing touch as well. My cheese grits topped as they were the right consistency with butter and salt and pepper. Everything was delicious but my eyes were bigger then my stomach. I took half of it back to our hotel so this would be plenty for 2 People. Another amazing n no place that is on my MUST DO LIST when I return to Charlotte. read more

I always order the chicken and waffles I just switch up the waffle this one is my favorite the strawberry banana is second place

Great value for the money !! Ordered one of the breakfast plates (approx. 10.99) - choice of eggs, grits/hashbrowns, toast/English muffin/biscuit, pancakes and bacon/sausage. There was a special on lemon/blueberry pancakes, addl $2 or so which decided on. Food came out rather quickly as it wasn't too busy. The server was very attentive and checked back frequently to make sure we were doing ok. Everything was pretty tasty and satisfying. read more

CHARLOTTE, NC 02/06/20 LUNCH +The customer service is great. +Vast menu offerings. +2.99 Bloody Mary's and Mimosas all day. -The Iron City Meatloaf portion size was a bit disappointing. -The Chicken and Waffles was okay. I didn't quite understand the tradition of mixing maple syrup and Louisiana Hot Sauce, as the condiment of choice for their 'famous' fried chicken. -The restaurant ventilation could use some improvement, as your skin and clothes will feel a little greasy post-lunch. -No loyalty rewards program/app. -I would love to see more daily lunch specials. So far, I've visited this Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives' fave twice. Both visits were okay, and we use it as a fail-safe when the wait for Mr. Tokyo is too long. read more

Not sure if they make reservations or not but make one if you can. We waited a good 30 mins before we were seated and it was only 2 of us. The biscuits were incredibly dry and weird tasting, in addition to the fact that I specified that I wanted my eggs scrambled hard but they came out a little runny. The food came out fast, the cinnamon roll pancakes were amazing as well as the hash browns, and my waitress was great so I will say that. read more

Just Go! So so good - it takes me back to days in NYC. Local diner vibes are the best. Great for breakfast lunch or dinner for home cooked goodness. But I some how always order the Belgian Waffle. The absolute BEST Waffles Ever. I said it - Add the fruit and call it a day. My husband has tried many things on the menu and has enjoyed everything he has had but particularly likes the biscuits and gravy with home fries. Not to even mention the Mimosas and you can choose yo juice. Go Pineapple to kick it up a notch from the regular O.J. The staff has always been great - Have had 3 different servers and all on top of their game. They have gained a couple of new regulars. PS- yes everyone working is masked up to help stop the spread of Covid (thank you) read more

I heard great things about the brunch here so I decided to try it. You would probably miss it bc its located in the Walmart shopping center along with many other shops and restaurants. It is located beside the Dollar Tree. We went on a Saturday morning. The wait was twenty mins which wasnt bad for a busy Saturday. The wait was easy. They offer coffee while you wait (it is not free). Parking was easily available in the lot. I would give the service a 3/5. Our waiter was a smart mouth. We had to ask for things like ketchup, napkins and a to go water at least 2xs for each item. We tried waving our hand to him as a reminder but sure enough he forgot what we requested smh. It became annoying and draining. I order the fried chicken benedict breakfast. It included two fried chicken tenders, two porched eggs ontop of a half of belgium waffle and hashbrowns. Everything was delicious. It was enough food for me to take home. I would highly recommend the food. I would recommend the food. I wouldnt mind returning but it will be a to go order. read more

So the server was so sweet and polite and the food was good. Not quite a diner if you can't even get corned beef hash and eggs. Or a glass or tomato juice. It was ok but we had breakfast for two and it was almost 40.00. I had pancakes with sausage and a cup of tea and my husband had a breakfast burger and a cup of coffee. I was impressed with your young man server and how attentive he was. read more

Outside of the long wait you may be faced with Metro Dinner NEVER fails! Our waitress was amazing. I hate i didn't catch her name all i know is she had beautiful natural hair and she was from Rochester, NY. Her energy was a 10, she was so attentive. As soon as a new person in our party arrived she was immediately back at our table taking their drink order. She made suggestions on some of the new items on the menu and provided a great description of each dish she suggested. 10 out of 10! It seems like whenever i visit Metro i am on a pescatarian diet but this day i ate meat! So I got the Chicken and Waffles which did not disappoint. I mean you get a 1/2 a chicken and each piece was fried perfectly. Whatever they seasoned that chicken with is so tasty. I love when chicken is still flavorful and juicy even when the skin/breading is removed. The waffles were good and sized great and came with strawberry butter on top. They also do a hot sauce syrup mix as a dipping sauce for the chicken. Im not too much of a fan of that and felt like the plain syrup on the waffles and Louisiana hot sauce did the job just fine. Oh and I appreciate that they give you apple juice in a medium glass, not the typical short glass with no refills. All in all, Metro Dinner is yummy. Oh if you like potatoes or soup try the hash browns and broccoli cheddar soup also, so good. read more

Worth the 20 minute wait for brunch!! Found this spot on the Yelp app and it did not disappoint! The food was great but the service was extraordinary. We're out-of-towners and it was another basketball Mom's birthday. We celebrated with mimosas on the house! Our waiter was attentive, kind and just all around awesome. He hooked us up by suggesting a concoction he made table side of maple syrup and hot sauce for the chicken and waffles. It was SO good! read more
