Great dinner Sunday night at the Airport Road HSV Metro Dinner. Very large proportions! I had the meatloaf special which was very delicious. Especially with the gravy! Had Sweet Tea but was too full after the main course for dessert! Next time I'll have to lighter and save room for dessert. Very friendly staff that seemed to run from table to table taking care of everything! Great atmosphere and well maintained restaurant. read more

With such an unassuming name, Metro Diner, this place is phenomenal! My husband and I visited this restaurant for the first time on Sunday, and we're back already the following Tuesday! The manager is so friendly and works with his team to make the entire experience special and welcoming. They are absolutely precious. On Sunday, we ordered the lemon blueberry Belgian waffle. My husband ordered the bone-in chicken and I chose the tenders. I usually have no interest in tenders, but the server, Raven, had great things to say about them. Wow, was she right! These tenders are so flavorful that they don't even need a dipping sauce. The waffles are light, fluffy, and flavorful perfection. Today we had the lemon blueberry pancakes and standard short stack with the chicken, bone-in and tenders. Chef's kiss! The chicken is fried fresh, so be patient. Their syrup and hot sauce dip make the pancakes/waffles with chicken cohesive. The strawberry butter taste like ice cream! It's a very nice touch. The coffee has that kind of weak, hot and just brewed thing good diners do well. We've been complaining about the price of everything being so high nowadays. But for some reason, dining here feels worth it. We're looking forward to trying many more things on the menu, so many tried-and-true favorites to choose from! read more

I judge a place on whether I have to ask for more coffee or water. I did for both. They weren't that busy. Next, check your salt Shaker. More rice than salt. When I unscrewed the top to clear the holes. I got a pile. The food was good. Like a lot of places, they have a lot of biscuits and gravy. Just needed salt imo. Coffee was good. Some places have almost undrinkable coffee. This is not one of them. Music was almost too loud, but you could still have a conversation. The chatter of the employees was like an old school diner. Padded seats, good. Just work on a little more checking on your customers. I'd come back. read more

I met a friend for breakfast. I specifically chose Metro Diner because the Manager, Jason, is excellent and will accommodate customers with food allergies. We met at 10 am and we're seated quickly. Our waitress came by and took our drink orders and handed us menus and flatware. Pam is allergic to beef, pork and shrimp. We started to explain her allergies to our waitress who didn't quite understand what Pam was saying do I asked her to ask Jason to come to our table. He appeared in about 2 minutes. We explained Pam's food allergies and he offered grilled chicken tenders and double hash browns. Jason cooked her foods in skillets instead of the flattop to ensure no cross contamination. He even threw in an extra tender at no charge. Pam said her food was delicious and we thanked Jason for taking such great care to ensure Pam's foods were pristine. I ordered a side salad and the turkey with dressing, mashed potatoes, and green beans plus an order of grilled chicken tenders and hash browns to go. He threw in a complimentary tender for me. I highly recommend Metro Diner on Airport Road. Jason is the best Manager in this town and he works very hard to accommodate his customers. He goes out of his way to ensure his customers have great food and are satisfied customers. He is the BEST!!! read more

They are awful! Not one of their dishes is consistent. You get good food one visit, and the next? It's like the cooks have a personal vendetta against you. They forget items, they don't care about plating, and for all I know they spit in my food. RUN, don't walk, away from this horrible, horrible establishment. You will thank me later. read more

Came here on a Sunday at breakfast time. It was pretty busy but we were seated pretty quick. There were lots of people working so they seem to get customers in and out pretty fast. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Hubby got the biscuits and gravy. Chicken was great, hot and crispy and there were 4 pieces. Waffles were a little underdone. I asked for a little extra strawberry butter which they provided. Hubby didn't think the gravy was as good as another location we have been to but he still liked it well enough. Service was good. Staff were all very nice. I would eat here again. read more

Wow... Just wow. Amazing experience. I went Friday and Isabella was my server. Amazing job, she deserves a raise. Very friendly and will definitely be coming back just to see her. read more

The server was obviously on crack... I'm all about getting clean, but maybe don't serve food. The service was awful. There was an abnormal amount of hair in our food and talks about losing a bandaid. . Didn't need a to go box we just paid and left. read more

I love this place so much. It's busy but for good reason! Try the mimosas flights! Everyone is so nice and you get in and out. I'll always be a fan of this place. read more

Gave this place a go rather than IHOP...it was so worth it! Prompt and friendly service. Clean and cheery. Our server Tammy was amazing. Portions were huge and good, a rare combination. Enjoyed the 80s music, which wasn't too loud for talking. Restrooms were clean. All in all, a great find and we'll be back again. read more

I appreciate this business for trying to help me with some bad fortune I've had with them lately. I've had the poor luck of several times in a row coming when they didn't have any more of the dish that I ordered and this time they were willing to work with me and they even gave me some store credit towards my next purchase. I appreciate their understanding and their willingness to try and help me read more

Server was nice, offered to bring more toast since one side was black, returned later with more burnt toast. Scrambled eggs were good, hashbrowns were very greasy and we could not finish them. read more

Food and atmosphere is elite, waiters are good, doesn't take long for food to arrive but it is still fresh 6.7/10

We love going to the Metro Diner and were thrilled to find one in Huntsville. We decided to come early morning for breakfast before the brunch rush. We didn't have to wait to be seated. However, it took a while for anyone to acknowledge us. Then a kind older lady named Beverly came and asked us if anyone came by yet. She was great! Our table wasn't in her section, but that didn't stop her. We ordered coffee to start. She kept it coming. I got the southwest breakfast burrito. My husband got the biscuits and gravy. I always get the gas browns with cheese and onion. So good!!! read more

I have never tried Metro Diner but I am so glad that another place in the area had messed up a wait list so we decided to try it out. I wasn't sure what to get but I was told the Chicken and Waffles are amazing. They also had a few specials on a black board. Like a sweet and spicy chicken and waffles, a southwest burrito and a meat burrito. However, after looking through the menu, I decided on the Bissell Breakfast. It seemed to have it all, and it absolutely had it all. The pancakes (2) were amazing. Light and fluffy served with hot syrup on the side. The hash browns were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The eggs weren't cooked to my liking I ordered over medium and got more of an over easy. (The whites were still runny) but in their defense if I would've had more stomach room I could have very well eaten the eggs with the fabulous toast they provided. The bacon was nice and crispy, toast was a 9-grain with butter, and lastly I ordered a side of cheesiest grits because why not. My favorite items in order were: pancakes, hash browns, cheesiest grits, bacon, toast, eggs. The pancakes were perfect. Hash browns delicious. The coffee is amazing coffee as well it was extremely smooth. Service was pretty good. They were training new staff which was great, our order did take a little bit but it was ok. I enjoyed the time there and loved the atmosphere. Overall it was a wonderful experience I will definitely be back! read more

I imagine this diner has 4 star potential. Based on just one visit while in town recently, it felt like a solid 3 based on our order. The service was super friendly and fast and everything was clean. I ordered the fried chicken benedict--it was good if not great. The chicken was delicious, the poached eggs were just slightly under-done (runny white not just yolk) though I understand it's a fine line. Definitely still good and more than edible. The biscuit was a lot crumblier and dryer than I expected but the hollandaise sauce was good. It plated great (check the pic). The home fries were well seasoned and cooked but room temp when served, for both me and my dining partner. We would have preferred they have been hot. She ordered the bacon, egg. and cheese croissant and loved it. Prices were just a tad higher than expected but not exorbitantly so. I'd definitely give them another shot if ever in the area again. read more

Our server was Emma and she was excellent! From her being so friendly to the amazing food. We will be visiting again....and soon!

This place was one of the best diners that we experienced well in Huntsville, Alabama. The staff was amazingly friendly. The food came out fast and was delicious, and the prices cannot be beat.... I don't think my coffee cup ever made it more than half empty before somebody was by to fill it. I tried the fried chicken egg Benedict and just about licked my plate clean read more

Kara and the kitchen made my morning with another perfectly poached eggs benedict! (Of note: better half's two egg breakfast was also exceptional.) Service is always so kind here, and we've started stopping by for a quick dinner as well--the meatloaf is a good option, the shepherd's pie is outstanding, and you can count on a quick and reasonably priced meal. A lot of people seem to be knocking this place for the most random things...I've never seen bad service here, the food always comes out quickly (though I haven't done takeout) and correctly, etc. I wonder if half the clientele don't come in angry as I've yet to find a complaint here. Skip Another Broken Egg...you can actually usually find a table here and the food's better. read more

If you're a fan of breakfast-brunch RUN to Metro Diner and try their infamous chicken & waffles. You can choose from half a fried chicken (white / dark / mix) or tenders, and it comes with a Belgian waffle, topped with powdered sugar and sweet, strawberry butter. Don't forget to ask for the signature sweet and spicy sauce. read more

love the food, especially the sirloin tips and the chicken salad and we just found out that the manager, Jay Jay, is leaving to go back to his hometown and take care of his mom and be closer to his family. He is the number one reason most people keep coming here because he treats everyone like they are his favorite customer and he is well-loved by the staff also, and they are always happy whenever he is there making things run smoothly. We will miss seeing his friendly face and if you want to have an excellent meal with first-class service, go see Jay Jay and you will be so glad you did. read more

I wanted to REALLY enjoy this place HOWEVER not so much. Service and timing was spot in place was clean and folks were friendly. The kid liked his pancakes the wife must have missed the menu mentioning Mayo on the avocado toast and as for my veggie omelet I'd order something else next time. I'm not saying it sucked cause it's got some great reviews AND I'd try a different meal other than breakfast next time who knows it could be my tastes are completely different than the folks who frequent this place often read more

Every visit to Metro has been good - but today, not so. Went for breakfast, seated quickly, coffee came quickly, staff friendly but after that, not so good. Orders came in reasonable time but the scrambled eggs were over done ( brown in places), the hash browns were greasy, my wife's toast (all 4 pieces) were burnt and we had to ask for her side dish that had not shown up with the meal. We really hate to do bad reviews but for a $40.00 breakfast ticket this is a bit much. read more

On a return visit to Metro diner I ordered the club sandwich and you talk about a surprise! The sandwich was large and loaded with all the usual meats but were of much better quality. The bacon was to die for! The bacon was so thick, meaty and cooked to a wonderful crisp... I felt sorry for the oinker that got sacrificed! Even my father-in-law requested that I tear off half a slice so he can sample it. The french fries were once again cooked to perfection just the way I like it. Needless to say I had half of it as leftovers. My wife had a chicken sandwich with fries she raved about and my father-in-law had the roasted turkey plate. All he talked about was how good the mashed taters were. He didn't share either! Many thanks to JJ for welcoming us Friday night for a gathering of new friends. JJ is a wonderful personable manager who cares about his customers and his employees. He made us all feel welcome! We will be back! read more

Staff was polite and cordial. We were quickly seated and quickly our food arrived. I had the fried chicken eggs benedict it was pretty darn good. They're biscuits were delicious. The food seemed fresh and made in house. The environment was definitely a diner environment so if you're looking for something fancy this is not it. But this would be a great breakfast spot would love to try it again if I'm in town. read more

Just Meh! We arrived at about 5:45 on a Monday night to take a family member out for a birthday dinner. First of all we were the only people there which was a red flag for me. But we assumed because it was Monday and Fall Break in our school district it probably was explainable. I ordered a Philly Cheese steak and onion rings. My Granddaughter ordered steak tips and the other two ordered breakfast entrees. The food took over 30 minutes to start showing up and it came out one dish at a time. We waited at least 15 minutes for all of us to be served. Everyone said their meal was just okay. My Philly cheese steak was not good. Instead of sliced steak it had the consistency and taste of chuck roast. I doubt we would return unless for breakfast which was adequate according to the ones that ordered breakfast entrees. The cost for 4 people was $57 not counting tip. The bright spot was the server was nice and attentive and apologized for the long wait considering the place was empty read more

Metro is a great place for food you can count on; I'm a big fan of their meatloaf and their fried chicken, which arrives at the table hotter than magma and as crisp as a winter's day. I really love their fresh green beans and their mashed potatoes; always a great addition to whatever you order. read more

OUTSTANDING service and food. What a winning combo. My server was Kelsea and I recommend requesting her, she is great. I had the ribs (two racks) and they were as good or better than any I had enjoyed before. The mashed potatoes with gravy and the Cole slaw were also unusually flavorful. My bona fides are that I am old and have visited a lot of restaurants in my 70 years. This one stands out for all the right reasons. Dark Myer, author. read more

My husband saw this restaurant on line and was drawn to try it out because of the picture of the chicken & waffles. So I decided to try and although the chicken was seasoned to perfection I had to send it back TWICE for my breasts being undercooked!! Even though they took care of my part of the order not once did a manager come to the table to apologize for their cooks sending out raw food!!! TWICE!!!! If it was my establishment I would have taking care of the entire check! Not acceptable to send out under cooked food! Our server was very sweet and super apologetic! read more

I am a fan of Metro Diner. I am usually very satisfied and very full because of the generous portions. This review is low because of my experience with the Fried Fish Friday lunch special. I would recommend anything else. The Friday lunch entry includes a side salad, and the salad was excellent. The problem was the fish. I believe it was cod, but honestly it looked like a pre-browned fish stick from your grocer's freezer. The fish had too much batter, was overcooked, and was very greasy. The two pieces of greasy cod were stacked on fries, and even the fries were greasy. I usually "clean my plate", but I could barely eat half of it. My cousin ordered the Metro Club Sandwich and it looked good. read more

Was in the restaurant today and Tammy was my server. Amazing service, very sweet and kind, and went above and beyond.

Where to start, we were sat pretty quickly and that could have been the best part of this meal. Once we were sat it took 10-11 minutes to give our drink order. It then took our server another 5 minutes to bring the drinks. We ordered when the drinks were brought so that we wouldn't have to wait another 5-10 minutes to order. It took 2 minutes to get our food( two burgers, two kids waffles, and a chicken salad sandwich). We had to ask for things multiple times, such as mustard mayonnaise and one of our sides. We were given cocktail napkins to use as regular napkins. I love dinners for the coffee, greasy burgers and attentive service. The food was okay, not great, but everything else was BAD. We will not be back. read more

If you only have 1 hour for lunch, don't go here. Today was the second time that we had to get to go boxes right after our food arrived. No, they were not crowded nor were they understaffed. They messed up my order and then when they brought my change back for me paying for a meal that I didn't get to eat, they didn't bring the correct change. Save yourself the trouble and go to the Madison location on a weekend. Co-workers meals were not fresh/hot, but barely warm. They brought co-worker her waffle but no syrup and no strawberry butter that she paid for. We will not be back to this location because is was complete disorganized chaos. read more
