Delicious food and great service. I had the spicy chicken eggs benedict which was delicious! Sunday's are super busy so be prepared to wait but it's well worth the wait! read more

Ordered the shrimp n grits, fried chicken, meatloaf dinner, mimosas and waffles....everything was sooo good! Definitely better than some of the chain restaurants I've eaten at here. Great comfort food... read more

First service was great food not so much. My daughters chicken Was Burnt. I ordered the fish and chips too much Going on the fish had like a lemon pepper batter That was salty, the fries had some smoked Seasoning salt on it, The slaw was good. Sometimes less is more you don't taste the food When it's over season. Fish and chips are supposed to be a classic basic dish you don't need all that extra stuff. read more

Food was exceptionally delicious! & the service was amazing we had chicken & waffles, omelette hash browns & sausages.

Amazing staff. Great food. And super kid friendly. I give the fellow patrons a 5 star review also. Atmosphere was warm and family-like

Metro Diner was my go to Sunday morning breakfast spot while I was stationed at Fort Benning. The service is outstanding and, I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal at this place. I would definitely recommend the biscuits and gravy. It never gets old. They also serve mimosas which always were great after a night out. One thing that I could complain about is that they do get pretty packed so it would be wise to call ahead for a reservation or you will be waiting for a while. read more

Very pleasantly surprised myself. Chicken pot pie was great size portion and reasonably priced. Check the board on the wall for specials, soup and vegetables of the day. Delicious. Waitress was very friendly and great server. It was kinda funny when I realized everyone here was from a smaller town--very nice. Before ordering, the other customers wanted to speak with you for a minute and say hello while welcoming you to the diner. Sometimes living in big cities you forget people like to be friendly and welcome you first and not just order. read more

The food and the service is excellent here. We went to Metro Diner after my husband's graduation for brunch. It was full. We had to wait for about 15 minutes to be seated. After we ordered our food we had to wait for about half an hour. We understood that it was very busy that day and were having coffee while waiting for the food. We had western omelette, fruity waffle, avocado toast and ranchero. The food was absolutely amazing. We're asked every now and then if we needed anything. Appreciate the service. When we were about to pay and leave we were given a check of 0.00$ just because we had to wait for 30 minutes for the food. That was unexpected and extremely generous. We left by leaving good tips at the end. I would definitely go there again if I visit this place and would recommend this place to everyone who reads this review. Have a good one! read more

This place has incredible food. I have literally never had anything bad here. I have taken people that were visiting Columbus there. No one has been disappointed. The crab cake Benedict is delicious. The Monte Cristo is out of this world. I have had more and everything has been soooo good! The staff was so so. Not rude but not overly friendly. It is entirely possible that is the way they come across because they are really busy every time I have been there. They have never been rude. Absolutely a place we will continue to visit and order takeout from! read more

Great food ok atmosphere. Not the kind of place to hang but good for breakfast. Will have to try for dinner. Not sure if they had a bar read more

The worst avocado toast I've ever had, it was tasteless and not green (fresh) but browish green when it hit the table and it was disgusting. I should have sent it back but I mentioned I was not happy with the flavor or look. The wait staff sent someone to the table who didn't introduce herself but apologized and said she doesn't like avocado. Sooooo if & when are you in the kitchen making/serving food you don't look at appearance as you spread it on the toast or even taste or ask someone else? No excuse. The Take it off the menu. This was Monday 8/19. TERRIBLE. Never again. read more

Amazing mimosas! It's is cheap and very tasty. Food is always great, I come here every Sunday

Quality has drastically dropped. Food was bland and overcooked not to mention portion has gotten smaller. Specials of salmon salad was more like a fish stick. Lost this customer for life. read more

I was very disappointed with the food and service after seeing the food pics on this website. The service was very slow and my food was undercooked. The waitress wasn't too knowledgeable either when I asked her about an item on the menu. The food was very bland with no taste. Let's just say the food looks better than it tastes. My food arrived undercooked and the waitress seemed clueless about what needed to be done next. There was also a manager onsite who never came to my table to find out what happened. The food was bland, tasteless and eventually got cold. I wouldn't dine here again unless they got a new cook. I'm not sure who is cooking in the back but they can't possibly want to eat anything they cook, considering the food was so nasty. I won't be returning. read more

Metro Diner - They gave me the smallest piece of fish and it had no flavor. It definitely wasn't cooked with love. I think they were rushing. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

See all

I was pleased with being seated quickly as it was Sunday and everyone has brunch on the brain. The hostesses were really nice. We ordered coffee which once delivered had hair in it. I know these things happen. Our server took one off the check. Our food arrived but only to be disappointed in my hash browns being burned. I didn't bother to bring it to our servers attention as I was over the restaurant by then. I think by them being busy the service and quality of food is falling by the wayside. I have had brunch here a few times and the last two experiences were not great. I will seek a different brunch restaurant. read more

Twice we've visited and both times we've had disappointing service. Once half of the staff didn't show and it took an hour and half before we got food. read more

Good food but a little pricey. Good service. Been here for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is definitely their better forte.

The service has really declined in the last couple of months. I blame management for not staying on top of things. This use to be my go to place for breakfast in Columbus but no more. If you want quality service try somewhere else. I went in for some breakfast today and was promptly seated by the hostess. The problem came afterwards, waited and waited, multiple waitresses conversing amongst themselves and could not be troubled to take a drink order or food order. I finally had enough when the customers seated minutes after me were able to place drink orders. Totally passed over by the waitress, I guess getting a tip from a two patrons table is more important than keeping a loyal customer. Lucky for me there are tons of restaurants a short walking distance from this location and I was able to be seated, served a cold drink, and place a food order all in under five minutes. Quality customer service is important especially in the restaurant industry some get it and some do not. Hope this review helps someone make a better decision than the one I unfortunately made today. read more

We decided to eat brunch here for our 20th high school reunion. We had prompt seating and the staff was courteous and the service was fast. I ordered the Crabcake Benedict with hashbrowns and a cranberry mimosa. The hollandaise sauce was broken...so I was already suspicious about the dish. Once I sliced into the egg...my expectations of subpar poached eggs were definitely met. Now the crabcake was actually well seasoned and tasted great. I just wish the dish came together a little better. read more

Took my son in for a birthday breakfast. The food was pretty food, not great. The prices are extremely high so keep that in mind before you go. The service was our biggest issue. We never saw our server again after she brought our food to the table until she brought out the check. Saddest part is the place was not busy at all she seemed to be more interested in stepping outside to smoke. We will probably not go back read more

Outstanding/tasty food, fast/friendly service, and great ambiance. $2.99 mimosas all day! I will definitely be back to try this burger they have with grilled cheese sandwiches as buns ... Nom Nom Nom read more

Metro Diner - Tastes just like a Cinnabon. Delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

When myself and my family came here, the service was okay, because they did have a crowd of people, and we understood that, but the food was on point, our waitress was nice. I will definitely be returning back to this restaurant. read more

Always great food, service, and price! The wife and I eat hear often and highly recommend it.

The place was not packed but took 15 min to get something to drink. It's 1030am and they are already out of champagne for the so called allday mimosas. Ordered the shrimp and grits and they are out of peppers. Who ever is in charge of ordering their supplies either needs some help or to be fired because you should not be out of things at 1030 in the morning. Finally got our food. The shrimp and grits had no flavor and we had to wait another 5 min to get a spoon to eat them with. The service was crazy slow. Once we got our food she never came back to check on us. We got better service from the hostess. To say the least we were not to impressed by the food or service. read more

Not very big location. Food is good but little over price. Love the old school feeling and environment. Always and forever usually a pretty long wait. Good staff. Good breakfast place for family anytime the day. read more

Didnt think it was nothing special but the staff was friendly place was clean might try it again could of been what i ordered

I've been visiting Columbus, GA for a week now. This is by far the best meal all week. Too bad we found it on the last day. Save yourself the time looking for somewhere to eat and come here! You're welcome. read more

Fabulous breakfast! Put in a carry out order, and it was ready by the time I arrived. There were so many yummy options, I had a difficult time picking just one meal. I eventually settled on the Eggs Benny. The food was great, and the staff were super friendly when taking my order, as well as when I picked up. read more

I love this place the food is great and the staff it super nice(: it can be a little slow but totally with the wait can't wait to go back

Know this chain from Jacksonville it has expanded due to fame on 3D. Had Spinach salad. Dressing very good homemade Balsamic vinegarette was good. Spinach was tough should of used baby spinach or at least trimmed stems. Chicken ok a bit tough. No Pecans. Strawberry's and blueberry in season and good. Feta not much. Overall ok. Menu good I was looking to be healthy which is not their specialty. Service very good!!!! read more

Stuff happens, right? Saturday morning we entered the diner and were immediately seated. The server dropped off the menus and left. A few minutes later brought our drinks. After about fifteen minutes and me staring at her across the room, she came back and took our orders. This after another server gave me some more coffee. Another twenty minutes or so later with no contact, we left. All her fault? Maybe not. Should I have asked to see a manager? I had my three year old granddaughter with me who had been extremely patient. Even a free meal wasn't worth it at that point. read more

I'm just okay with this place. Nothing wrong with it. Friendly staff and good food. My little complaint is that their coffee is not good.

This was my first time eating at Metro Diner. I chose to get on the waitlist as it is an option on the website. When we arrived, the hostess stated that the wait time on the site is always inaccurate. The wait was actually 30-35 mins instead of 10 minutes. It wasn't a problem, and we waited. The server was very nice, and she gave suggestions on the menu. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It was pretty good. The only issue is that the the chicken tasted like it was fried in old grease. My friend ordered Home Fries, and she had the same issue as well. The waffle was very good. I'd give it another try, but I suggest they change the cooking oil. read more

Chicken pot pie was toasty and hot and crispy. Service was fast and polite. Restaurant was clean and relaxing with a kinda modern vibe.

You definitely want to be hungry when you go to Metro Diner! The service is fast, friendly and accurate and the portion sizes are HUGE! There can be a wait if you arrive right at dinner time, but the staff is friendly and will seat you as quickly as possible. read more

This place has quickly become our family's go to restaurant. From the regular menu to the weekly specials everything is always on point. whether it's Chicken & waffles to die for or the Yo Hala that will make you holla, this place will have you coming back for more. Have you ever wanted a hamburger made with 2 grilled cheese sandwiches instead of buns? And FYI, if you eat there twice in the same day you can get a discount by showing your receipt from the 1st trip. Yes we have done this! Yes it it that good and totally worth it. Lastly, two words, Strawberry Butter! Boom! read more

Not worth the price just a bunch of hype. Horrible service and the employees argued with each other in front of the customers.

First time going, service was amazing waitress took the time to explain specials and very attentive. Food was excellent huge portions and really good at a reasonable price definitely going back for breakfast. read more

The prices in this place is ridiculous. I ordered scrambled eggs w/cheese, grits, sausage, and pancakes. $25.75 Why? the food wasn't even that good. would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

While dining in a booth, I began to feel something crawling on my legs. Thought it might just be my imagination becuase I couldn't see anything just by looking under the table. I walked outside and got a closer look, my legs were covered in tiny insects. Totally grossed out. Will never return. I can't get rid of the feeling that bugs are crawling all over me. read more
