    Biscuits & Sausage Gravy
    Kia B.

    This place isn't the worst or the best. The service was decent. The ambiance is stale, not very welcoming. This was my first time visiting and I wish I had ordered dinner food instead of lunch. My food was very bland. I had to sit at the table and utilize every possible seasoning visible to me...annnnd still didn't like it. My daughter said dinner food is better so I'll try it one more time at least. The food came out really quickly. That's a plus.

    Friendly staff and great service. Love the ambiance and music. Food was made to order and fresh! They have a great menu with lots of choices.

    The food was excellent with Joanie letting me know the fries would not be gluten free because they are cooked with all the other fried options. She was helpful and was a wonderful waitress. I will definitely stop by when in the area again.

    The best onion rings in entire area!

    It's a Tuesday evening around 7pm. At first the was no hostess, just had to wait a short moment while she finished help a customer that was seated near the front door. She was nice and seated me right away. A short moment later my waitress arrived and asked what I would like to drink and I ordered a sweet tea with lemon. I also ordered an appetizer of onion rings. They came out literally a minute or so later! I was actually surprised at how quick it was. Heck I hadn't even figured out what I wanted to eat. I went with the meatloaf and mashed potatoes with brown gravy and green beans. First off back to the onion rings! Man I love me some onion rings however usually they are sieved super oily/greasy, this were very crispy! Well cut homemade'esk size and plentiful, a huge side dish plate! It was served with a chilled house ranch, which I usually don't touch but it seemed like a house made as it wasn't watered down and looked a little thick. It was very good and different than the normal horseradish sauce. Excellent I highly recommend the onion rings!!! The meatloaf dinner arrived shortly afterwards. Presentationally it looked good just maybe a touch to much gravy but over all it looked very appealing. The green beans were not from a can and seemed fresh. To my likening they could have been cooked a minute or two longer but to most they would have been perfectly fine. I knew I could have ordered the meatloaf and mashed potatoes without the gravy but it's was their( metro dinners recommendation) not my waitress Alana. The gravy was very salty and I like my salt. It in my opinion ruined the mashed potatoes. They were mashed with the red skins included. Perfect texture! The meatloaf was a huge let down in my opinion. It didn't even look like real meat, didn't taste like it either! Looked like a prefab concoction from the freezer or something. Not that I know for sure! My waitress, Alana was a very sweet and helpful young lady! She made sure I had all I needed and replaced my iced tea with a completely new cup and lemons without refilling the previous like some places do. She was knowledgeable able the menu and answered all my questions and even afterwards we discussed the meal. It was pleasure having her as my waitress! I hope to see her on a future visit! I knew going in the meatloaf maybe questionable as I like mine a certain way. I've eaten here before and know they have lots of good food. I was blown away by the onion rings if you can't tell! I left my waitress a great tip 11 bucks for a bill that was slightly under 30! I wish more waitresses and waiters had her professionalism. She wasn't having a great day either and still had a smile and performing top notch service! I would recommend coming here just stay away from meatloaf lol!

    Flies eating your food after 15 minutes with no silverware? Yeah, that's a problem.

    Metro Diner was a disaster. My food came cold, flies were on it because I had no silverware (and I'm not eating sticky food with my hands). My friend's meal was 15 minutes late, and there's avocados everywhere on the menu but none to be found. Also, no syrup with waffles? Never coming back. Complete letdown.

    My second time going to Metro dinner since I moved to Columbus Ga and I will have to say this is one of my favorite spots to go with my family. All The food was good as always. I can't complain at all. The food come fast and everyone is nice there. Good customer service.

    We were pleasantly surprised since we have driven by here many times, and decided to stop in for breakfast on New Years. Excellent choice! Diner has old time feel with attentive wait staff. Large portions and good food!

    Not a lot of choices in Columbus for Easter and why we appreciate the effort…read more We were not impressed with the quality of the food The ham had been sitting out forever And many of our dishes were very dry. There were no lids on the chafing dishes. $35 is not a lot though and while we appreciate the time in cooking, the quality of the food was not great and we ate 1/4 of each plate and we only had one plate each Finally, we gave our server eight $20 cash gratuity for the two of us and it wasn't until we got home that we realized there was an additional gratuity of 15 or $16 or something on our $70 bill so the waitress actually made $35 gratuity on a $70 bill if not more. When we were giving her the cash gratuity, it would've been good if she would've notified us we were also going to be charged on my card for the gratuity I think saying that we only ate 25% of the food we took from the buffet and watching how many people were leaving was a clear indication. The quality of the buffet was not great and I standby many items were being left out much too long and not being covered and protected, including the hot entrées and the casseroles. Lesson learned and thank thank you

    We chose this for our Easter experience with our family…read more This had to be the worst buffet we have ever had, Six of us paid about $200.00 The food is overpriced, none of us enjoyed the food. Their hot buffet was a joke. It was stone cold! The chicken was tough and cold. I have catered many weddings with excellence results. I was ashamed for baker?? I would not serve my family their deserts. Fruity pebbles cookie was flat and not at all appealing. We would love to have a full refund! 229-869-5019 Elizabeth Brown

We were seated in the booth next to the entrance. By that time there were many empty tables and lunch service was winding down. The bar remained full of what seemed to be regulars, based on interactions with staff. Despite groups of servers busing tables (4 servers and a hostess bussing a 2-top in front of us) and constantly walking by it was over 15 min before a server approached us. With the claim of "best burger in the south" we ordered 5 burgers and 1 hamburger steak. It took 40 min to receive our food. The crinkle-cut fries were very good. The burgers were large. We ordered at least one of every burger on the menu and nine lives up to the designation of best burger in the South. Every burger was overcooked and the buns were large but dry and crumbling. You must ask for condiments to dress your own burgers. Pickles,lettuce and onions are on the side. Bacon was thick and cooked perfectly. The pimento cheese was plentiful. The hamburger steak was a slice of meatloaf with onions and gravy, "nothing special". After receiving our food we did not see our waiter again (refills, condiments, etc) until we asked for out check. We were unable to get water refills during our meal but to-go waters were offered with the check. There is outdoor seating with umbrellas. Several TVs throughout the establishment. The menu offered a good number of options. With a large number of high-top tables, large bar and multiple TVs thiabwas a more casual atmosphere
