Very welcoming, atmosphere and helpful staff! They had plenty of gluten-free options, and the avocado breakfast bowl was amazing mostly because of the hollandaise sauce! I always order it on the side because so many restaurants use packages, but this had the mouth feel of something made from actual butter and eggs! My husband had the fried chicken Benedict and tried their sausage gravy and patties- he said it was all good! read more

Metro is truly a good place where there's something for everyone; anytime of the day. You can breakfast all day along with dinner. Today we had the fish sandwich with coleslaw and the half of fried chicken with Mac and cheese and coleslaw. Please forgive me, as I forgot to take a picture of my chicken. The smell of the food driving home, I forgot to take a picture after feeding mom. The service is always great. Staff is accommodating and pleasant when we dine in or take out. The ambiance is a rustic type venue. Its a great family friendly restaurant. read more

This seems to be a staple for the community. I have eaten her three times and each time the experience with the food is just okay. The service each time is always great. You are greeted with a hello and the waitress/waiter are attentive. The ambiance is one of a diner. Will definitely come back and keep trying various entrees. read more

Food was delicious and the service was amazing. Fast and friendly staff. We went on a Saturday, so it was a little loud, but that's expected read more

So glad I took my daughter up on the invite for lunch here. Place was packed but the wait was not bad at all. Our server was great, very attentive and told us all about the specials. My daughter got one of the specials the Banana Pudding Pancakes. She said they were delicious. Her roommate got eggs biscuit and hashbrowns and said they were also great. I had the Shrimp and Grits. They were some of the best shrimp and grits I have ever had. I really wanted to try to chicken and waffles but it looked like such a large serving that I will have to save that for another time. We shared the mimosa flight. It was very good too. The mimosas on the flight were orange, pineapple, strawberry lemonade, and peach mango. read more

Metro diner is an experience. There are several locations and this one is just tucked away in a strip mall in Huntersville. So not quite as exciting as the one downtown, but you're still gonna get good service and good diner food. It's nothing over-the-top, but it does hit the spot. This location is a bit tight inside, but there is plenty of seating. They also have a very nice outside patio. So will you be blown away? No, but you'll come away with a full belly and satisfied. read more

Been a while since last review and Metro still nails it. Have tried many things beyond breakfast at this point and all those options are great too. Burgers, fried chicken, fish and chips, club sandwich, meatloaf , roast turkey and beyond all hit the mark. Thankful to have a location close by. read more

My husband and I went here after my procedure and I was starving. It was a Wednesday early afternoon. We were seated quickly. Staff were very accommodating. I ordered pancakes eggs cheese grits and English muffin. My husband had hueros eggs and 2 teas. Food was good but grits were watery. We will be back to try other items. They have a large menu. read more

Highly recommend their breakfast flatbread thingy. It's bacon, eggs, hash browns, and queso on a thin, crispy flatbread. Sliced rectangularly and nicely plated, it was a crispy upgrade of the regular ol' breakfast sandwich. Nicely done. Good service, too, although it was kind of busy. read more

We got seated right away at 10:30 on a Sunday morning. Amazing service- our waitress was super kind and attentive. I had the spicy honey chicken biscuit with a side of fresh fruit. It was the perfect portion size if you didn't want to take anything home. The chicken was cooked well. The ambience was your typical breakfast diner- nothing too fancy. Overall, it was a great place to read more

On 4/24/26 I ordered 1/2 rack of ribs and my family ordered their meals. The order was picked up. My ribs were horrible, they were so dry with hardly any meat on them. I ate one and the rest I threw in the garbage . So very disappointed. Vickie read more

Visited Metro Diner for the first time this past Sunday. It was everything! There were six in our party and everyone enjoyed their food. It was exactly what we ordered. It didn't take long to be seated or served. The food was delicious, seasoned just right and our waitress was informed, friendly and patient with us. There is also ample parking available in the shopping center area. read more

Saw a strong weekend brunch crowd as I entered Metro Diner just before 10 on a Saturday. During our 15 minute wait for a table I could review the specials on the chalkboard and see others eating at tables, booths, and a few seats at the counter. Service was quick and friendly and my coffee cup never went below half full. The s'mores waffle was the highlight of the meal - a sweet, decadent, and crunchy treat. The meat lovers scramble was not to my liking as the hollandaise sauce overpowered the meat and eggs. Overall a pleasant meal at a lively Huntersville diner. read more

Came here for an early dinner and left really happy to finally try this place. The waffle was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The strawberry butter is a home run! The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Everything came out piping hot which is a plus. The only thing I will say is that the server brought our check after about two bites. We would've ordered dessert and more drinks (beer and sangria). read more

Metro Diner - Fried Chicken & Waffle - Diners Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

We stopped here on our way home from Charlotte. We had seen the positive reviews. We were looking for something conveniently located to the highway and decided to stop in. Located in a shopping complex anchored by a Publix, it is easy to find and parking is sufficient. When we walked in there were quite a few tables seated and even a few people picking up to go orders but no one else was standing waiting to be seated. We were acknowledged by a couple of employees and told they would be with us as soon as possible. As we waited a few minutes it appeared they were not short staffed and everyone appeared to be running around, however it felt like they should have been able to help us and the other people who walked in after us quicker. It felt somewhat disorganized. We were taken to a table and provided menus but it took another several minutes until our server stopped in and took our drink orders. Our server was friendly and we placed our orders. My wife used the restroom and reported it was clean and well stocked. Our food arrived in a timely manner and looked good. My wife ordered the meat lovers omelet with no cheese, homefries and a biscuit. I ordered the breakfast burger with homefries. Our only real complaint was the homefries appeared to be frozen and not freshly grilled like we were hoping for. My wife commented her omelet was stuffed full of meat and tasted fresh. The food was good but the overall service wasn't up to par in our opinion. We may try another location in the future but won't rush to try again. read more

There are so many positives about this restaurant. They were SLAMMED on Sunday morning - standing room only. They told me my wait would be 15 minutes and it was 8. They got me served and outta there within 45 minutes of my arrival! Jessica was a kind and attentive server. This is clearly a super popular regional spot. For me, my dish was really bland. I think that's because I'm a visitor and my expectations were different. Huevos rancheros may not be the dish to order in western NC. read more

Just amazing. Friendly service for both done in and take out. High quality food with reasonable prices.

This is a cute neighborhood place, the staff was super friendly and accommodating and our server easily rolled with our humor which is always a plus. The selection for options was great. We ordered the cheese fries as an app for the table. They were very good, the seasoning was good and the ranch was pretty good too. Three of us ordered breakfast and one ordered a sandwich. The French toast pancakes (I am told) were delicious and my husband loved his sandwich. I ordered biscuits and gravy breakfast and while the biscuits and gravy was good, it wasn't hot. This was a real bummer for me. read more

I've been wanting a taste of home lately, so I took my grandson to Metro Diner in Huntersville as a treat. (I'm from Jax FL where the original one is.) They did not disappoint! To quote my precocious grandson, "This is pretty fancy for a diner!" But it was familiar inside and very clean. We were greeted almost instantly and sat immediately. The whole time we were there, it stayed busy but not chaotic. Grandson loved that the waiter treated him like an adult. He ordered the Meats Lovers Omelette with biscuit and cheesy grits. That omelette was filled with meat and very delicious. He loved every bite. He thought the grits were average and I ended up bringing the biscuit home. With so many breakfast choices, it was hard for me to pick one. I ended up choosing the Fried Chicken Benedict. It was cooked just like I remembered their other Benedicts, absolutely perfect. The egg was poached expertly, with solid white and runny yolk. The fried chicken was tender and savory, and the hollandaise sauce was smooth and creamy. The hash brown potatoes were average. I'm so happy to know that one of my favorite places is up near my new home and I cannot wait to come back. read more

Had a nice breakfast at the Metro Diner with a group of family and friends. After waiting about an hour we were seated. It took that long because there were 9 of us. The food was very good...and it came out quickly. Noone was disappointed with their meal. If there is something that you are interested in but don't see it on the menu be sure to ask the server because they can typically make what you are interested in. I hope you enjoy your meal as much as we did. Enjoy! read more

Came while visiting a friends house and saw such great reviews. First impression not good. Was sat quickly but waited over 5 minutes for Moriah to finally come to the table. Lots of other wait staff flitting around but had not seen her until she came to the table. So wasn't delivering food or anything - other wait staff should be educated enough to let them know they had a new table waiting. Sunday morning but lots of tables still open. Let's see how the food is. Ordered a coffee and the fried chicken eggs Benedict. Coffee is very good. Rich and tasty. Benedict was good. Chicken was crispy and juicy. Eggs were a bit overcooked. Poached should have runny yolks. Hollandaise was very tasty had a nice lemony taste as it should just could have used a bit more. Will def be back. read more

Met up with a friend here that I haven't seen in YEARS and yes, we kept talking for like four hours! Oops. But by that time, the restaurant had slowed down and we didn't feel like we were taking up a table. Organized list to get in with a half hour wait, so I popped over to Publix and did a quick food shop while I waited. 15 minutes later, "Your table is ready!" I chose the western omelet for my brunch meal. A solid portion, well stuffed and topped with mild salsa, with hash browns and whole wheat toast. There's a lot of food here for sure. Tip: Head to the Metro Diner website and join their program. They sent a 50% off coupon for my entree and it's always great to save $7 or so on breakfast. Of course, the second tip is to tip your waiter on the full amount of your meal. [Review 19519 overall - 3414 in North Carolina - 489 of 2023.] read more

Nice clean and inviting location and the service was perfect...better than perfect? The food, not so much. I ordered the three egg platter and my wife ordered the veggie omelet. My wife's omelet was undercooked and the home fries were bland. My eggs were fine but my homefries also bland. Salt...salt...salt... There are a few things in life that are certainties, salt your potatoes while you are cooking them or while they are still hot, butter your toast while it is hot and don't try adding sugar to cold unsweetened tea. read more

First time - 4/5/2025 Food was excellent. My friend had her favorite- chicken waffle w Strawberry cream cheese , topped with maple syrup. There's a surprise with the syrup. You will have to go and try it to find out. I'm going to try this at home. I had the San Francisco eggs Benedict. It had avocados, slice of tomato, Canada bacon , poached eggs and great Hollandaise sauce . Served friendly and quick and customers kept pouring inside. Would definitely eat her again! read more

Daughter liked the chicken eggs Benedict; I may need to try this next time. read more

Food and more food. What a week to be outside Took off a star. Any orders to go should have both condiments, silverware, and napkins. My order did have plenty of syrup and their specialty butter. But no silverware, no napkins. Insert sad face. A tighter quality check should be performed before releasing the online to go orders. Thankfully, I was headed home and happily enjoyed myself once there with my own silverware. On to the good stuff. Really love their fried chicken N waffles. Yummy for the tummy. Online ordering took 5 minutes, and It was ready for pick up in about 10-15 minutes. Very popular spot, so use their waitlist before leaving. Same parking lot as Publix with lots of free parking.

This place is an absolute gem! Easily the best diner I have ever been to. Amazing, thoughtful meals: often classics with a twist. The meatloaf is delightfully oniony with a super rich gravy. Chicken Benedict (on biscuit) was a surprising hit with each component being immaculate. Cinnamon bun pancakes come with candied nuts and the swirl in the pancake caramelized on the griddle for a light crunchy texture amidst the fluffy pancake. Best pancake I've ever had. read more
