This place didn't want our business. My wife and I came for a late lunch. We are in our 60's and were dressed business casual so it wasn't like we looked undesirable. The place wasn't that busy and there appeared to be a good amount of staff about. The guy who seated us didn't make eye contact and mumbled something I assumed was to follow him. We were seated at a table that had a nice sticky spot in front of me, which I didn't even have a chance to mention because that was the last we had contact with any staff. They were milling about but not even coming to take a drink order. My wife and I chatted for a few minutes and then both decided that if they don't want our business, we'll take it elsewhere. Not a great first impression. There will not be a second. read more

Coming here never gets old! The service and atmosphere are always pleasant. I bring people that have never been. My favorite dish has become the avocado breakfast sandwich - lettuce tomato avocado bacon egg cheese and mayo. My niece has the classic chicken and waffles with the infamous strawberry butter - yum! We also had the mimosas. read more

This is my second time ordering waffle and chicken the first time overcooked chicken the second time three times overcooked please train your cooks not to triple cook the food that was not a request that was made before the order was placed. read more

Super friendly and attentive staff. Food was delicious and well portioned. The small town dinner feeling really makes this an enjoyable experience. It is part of a chain but you wouldn't expect it. Good quality all around. read more

A strong four. Good variety on the menu. Mimosas are on point. It's small. So if you're coming with the fam then expect a wait. If it's you and Bae then expect a wait. Not a lot of two tops either. Food came out fairly quickly. Well seasoned. You'll see pepper in the pics because we like pepper. Meatloaf was very tasty. Not your Granny's but above average for sure. Bae had the chicken. I asked how it was. He quickly say "good" and commenced to eating. So, I heard the crunch across the table. Some ASMR ready fried chicken. He left nothing it bones. Bae also said the mac n cheese was decent enough. Better than the box for sure. read more

My husband & I had dinner there last night. He had meatloaf which was great. I had the fish & chips substituted chips for broccoli with the coleslaw. The service was great a very personable waitress. After returning home I had severe stomach issues which has continued this morning so I am blaming this on the fried fish which either was mishandled in the kitchen or could have been fried in stale grease or the fish sat out or touched improperly. read more

Delicious food, excellent service and the portion sizes are huge! Great value for the price and Tiffany was such a friendly server!

Tried it out yesterday on a whim. Coffee was pretty good and hot. Had the FRIDAY fish special. Pretty good meal. Fish hot n crispy. Slaw was decent. Salad was pretty good. Fries crispy. Will go back. The waitress was really nice and prompt. Kept my coffee hot. Not crowded at the time. $18 bucks not including tip. Not bad. read more

Food was great, Prices are affordable, and atmosphere was cozy. Sharn was a great server and was attentive to our needs. Will be back!

This has been an easy staple for my family. Everything we've ever gotten here has been consistent and delicious. Service is always friendly and prompt. We have the best success with dodging crowds when they first open. San Francisco Benedict with a hot green tea is my favorite. read more

I wanted to get a slice of cake but did not have any other than chocolate so i didn't get any dessert but i went and ordered fried chicken sandwich with fries and it's very delicious big and juicy.

Staff was awesome! My coffee cup was never empty! They have indoor and outdoor seating area. They have pick up and to go orders as well. And plenty of parking area too! I ordered the fried chicken Benedict and it was delicious! That hollandaise sauce left me wanting more! Now my husband ordered the meat lovers omelette and it was mediocre. Unless you're just a meat and egg kind of guy. There was no onions, no peppers...not sure if they even had cheese in it. Lol. I would definitely go back to try their more sweeter selection such as..... croissant french toast, pancakes and waffles! read more

My wife and I were visiting the area from California. On a restaurant suggestion, by a lady working at the Courtyard Marriott in Greenbrier, told us to try the Metro Diner. So glad we did. We had Tina as our server and she was awesome. She made the visit even better. Definitely recommend this local restaurant. Good food, nice atmosphere and great enthusiastic servers. While complimenting Tina to the manager, Willoughby...he too was great to chat with. My wife and I will be back. WE Dig the vibe at the METRO DINER TOO FUNNY...our son stationed in Norfolk VA in the Navy had never even been to this place and now he and his wife are hooked too! RightOn read more

I recommend this place most breakfast time are very good. I gave a three start because the fried chicken is tasteless.

One thing Metro Diner wants you to know: they got your waffles right here. And that's a good thing to note. For a stormy Friday evening, my appetite wandered to the fish special. But first, Metro Diner is a cozy spot with comfortable booths, a big specials board, and everything else one might want in a diner. Shrimp and corn chowder was quite nice. The fish was nice, but the oil might have been a little too hot, with dry and slightly over cooked fringes and a slightly soggy center. Given the ample portion, expertly frying these would be quite a feat to master. Broccoli was excellent. Service left me waiting after seating. Nearly empty restaurant with plenty of help, so that's a bit of a knock, otherwise friendly, prompt, and helpful. I found prices a great value for all that is offered. Metro Diner makes a great neighborhood mainstay, and would make a nice destination for the whole family. read more

I just pulled the longest hair out of my mouth while eating the croissant french toast. It was literally embedded in the food. I know it's not mine or my wife's, i have a shaved head, shes got wavy black hair the one i pulled out was light brunette. Disappointed as hell. read more

Ok so today was our first time here. We checkin and put our name on the waiting list. Stayed in our vehicle until we got our phone call. The wait was about 25 mins but it was packed so that's not bad. I feel they truly exercised the space nicely. It's not tiny being bigger than most waffle house establishments with indoor and covered outdoor seating. The music was very diverse play via the surround sound. At moments it did get a touch loud but it was mostly the background noise of families and friends enjoying their meal with conversation. My husband an I both ordered the fried chicken and waffle meal. We asked for it to be well done which they obliged nicely. The strawberry butter I was skeptical about so I asked for it on the side. Must say it was rather tasty in small doses. We got our daughter the kids pancakes which she enjoyed as well. For drinks we had apple juice for the youngin, almer palmers for us and I partook in a cranberry pineapple mimosa. The fried chicken was delicious, fried ro perfection not burnt but nice golden brown crunch and juicy an seasoned. That's four pieces of chicken too (1Breast, 1Wing, 1Thigh and 1Drumbstick) I am full and content. The staff was super friendly and the establishment was really clean. I loved the diversity of the families coming to dine. We saw a lot of eye catching things on the menu so we shall be back. Overall the price was definitely affordable at $49.41 so you most certainly get bang for buck. read more

Worst customer service ever! Second time in a row, they completely made a mess of order. When we returned to straighten it out, the server had an extemely poor attitude, actually mocking us for their mistake! We will not return! read more

Been eating here alot but something was off today. The server shaun was very rude, made a mistake on out order, did not refill our drinks until we asked him. Additionally he tossed the food on the table and not apologiizing. When it came to paying the bill he knew he made a mistake on the order but still pretended he didnt know. Once we paid the bill now he asks if we want water or drinks to go. This is one of our favorite spots and this bad experience for a good resto if u are pissed at work leave ur a very, if u are pissed at home dont bring it to work Kapish. He ironically was wearing a shirt that he is not worthy of. read more

Everything was amazing. Service was great. The food is delicious! Portions are huge. You can share plates of food with others.

The service was good. I had a bacon cheeseburger which was good but average with ok fries. My wife had breakfast she said her pancakes were good and loved the biscuit with strawberry butter. Typical diner food. Th restaurant was clean. Bathrooms need some attention like air freshener and the urinal did not have water to flush thus the smell. All in all it was good dining experience. I do have one question they have signs supporting the military, so why don't they offer military discount? Not a big deal. read more

We come to here often when we need a quick meal before starting the day. The servers here are friendly, especially Cheyenne.

You know I love metro. They are consistent. But todays online order made me livid. Ordered three breakfasts. One was 3 scrabbled eggs, sausage homefries with onions and biscuit. What is this? I NEVER COMPLAIN about this place as I Stan for them. But this..... When you have your mouth set on something and you get something else. Just messes up your day. I was promised a refund. read more

Just moved back to Chesapeake and was looking for a good takeout breakfast. Metro Diner did not disappoint. The food was great. The service awesome and from what I could tell it looks like a great place to sit and eat. Will definitely become one of my favorites! read more

I have ate at several metro diners and the shrimp and grits are something that I always get. Have ate at ones in Delaware, Tennessee, South Carolina and this location. I have to say this is the worst tasting shrimp and grits I have had. The grits were not fully cooked and they were watery and flavorless. Shrimp ( what few there was in the dish) and sausage tasted off. The green peppers were hardly cooked. This was a huge disappointment to me. read more

Another great diner in the books! I got the bacon potato soup and the chicken tender salad. Those chicken tenders WERE SO GOOD! Highly recommend. read more

Went here for a late lunch just after the lunch crowd thinned out. Place was still a little busy but were seated promptly. I ordered the chicken and waffles. I have had it a couple of times in different parts of the country and thought it was just ok. Here if was delicious and very savory. You get a lot of chicken with your order. I took home a piece because you get almost one-half a chicken. The combination is perfect. Order an extra side of their house butter for the waffle. Chicken was both crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I would definitely come here again for this. Service was pretty good for how busy they were. Drink refills were brought out before we requested any which was super nice. Place has a decent amount of parking but I can see the lot filling up fast. read more

Came here for brunch and I'm happy to report that it's one of the only places in the Virginia Beach area that isn't super slammed on weekends with a two hour wait! We were sat immediately and our server was super attentive. I think she filled my coffee four or five times! The food was typical brunchy food, I really enjoyed the steak and hash browns bowl that I got. They also had a couple seasonal cocktails, like an apple pie mimosa. Drool... The coffee was hot, the service was good. Two thumbs up! read more

It's a great day to drop into this local version of metro dinner the service is always great the food is always consistently delicious and it doesn't help that it's our grandsons favorite celebration station but today was different he needed some encouragement go figure (at 5 yrs old)Lol but he had a rough day at home school and when doesn't chicken and waffles cure the blues!

The food is always good but it's just not worth going here anymore because it's absolutely freezing inside this restaurant. This is the third time I've eaten here and it's always unbearably cold inside. People had coats and hats on bundled up to eat. I honestly don't understand why. The table in front of me were complaining to the waitress and I told them don't bother it's always like this and this is totally ridiculous. read more

Where do I start? As soon as you walk in the waiting area is quite small so if you show up while it is busy you might have to sit outside or in your vehicle. The wait usually isn't that long and once your table is ready they will send you a text. The staff here is very friendly and they give off a welcoming vibe when you interact with them. The food is phenomenal! Almost as if you were getting a home cooked meal! Don't be afraid to try any of the food especially for anybody thats indecisive I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Most definitely coming back here! read more
