    Chocolate cake.  I added the ice cream.
    Annette R.

    Delicious omelette and flavored coffee for breakfast... but I added the most amazing chocolate cake! So fresh and soft! Love this place. Casual, great service and food and reasonable prices.

    Mimosa Flight
    Kaelan M.

    Went to Metro diner for brunch the other day and it was delicious. I started off with a mimosa flight, prepared to perfection by my server. They give you 4 different flavors and they were great. Not as strong as I might like but still good. The service was fast and my server was on top of everything. I had the Meat Lovers Scramble Bowl. It contained hash browns, sausages ham, eggs, bacon and cheddar cheese. It comes with hollandaise sauce drizzled on top but I'm not a fan so I subbed it out for sausage gravy. Great choice offered to me by my server. All and all it was a great experience and I'll definitely be back.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich MACARONI and CHEESE  FRENCH FRIES
    Jack B.

    Gave it 4 stars but more like a 3.8. Service was great. I was greeted immediately and taken care of greatly. The chicken sandwich was great. Crispy and fried golden and came out piping hot. Fries and the Mac n cheese were average which kind of bumps this meal down a tiny bit for me. Overall good experience.

    Had a real top-notch experience dining here on 12/8. I've been...twice before, but never left feeling impressed or wanting to leave a review (negative or positive). We stopped in, unplanned, after running several errands in the area. My husband always wants breakfast, but I was in the mood for something more substantial. It was around 2pm. We were sat in Trenton's section and I am so happy that we were. Trent was able to answer our questions regarding menu items, make suggestions, and was very thorough and thoughtful when taking our orders. My husband doesn't always fully read the description of items listed on the menu, so I was happy when Trent would ask detailed questions about each item ordered. For example, my husband ordered grits. Trent asked if he wanted cheese. Hubby was ecstatic and responded "oh, I wondered if you guys could add cheese", but he would not have asked if our server hadn't mentioned it. We also ordered mimosas and Trent mentioned that they had a flight. I love a flight (of anything) and, cost-wise, it just made sense. I love the clean decor, the food tasted good and the service was the cherry on top!

    Double Decker BLT
    Katie N.

    Metro Diner is one of my go to spots for a hot, fast, diner style breakfast or brunch. They also serve lunch and on some days are open for dinner as well. On this trip we elected to eat lunch and ordered the double decker BLT and the chicken sandwich. Their fried chicken tenders are always so good. The breading isn't too heavy and is crispy and well seasoned. The double decker BLT was great too - bacon cooked perfectly and the sandwich constructed very nicely. Seasoned fries are always a safe bet. They're larger sized and they always come out hot and crispy outside, fluffy inside, never soggy or over-fried. I'm always impressed at how efficiently the kitchen runs - our food never takes long even during their morning rush and always comes out hot. Our server was very friendly and checked in just the right amount of times during our meal. Metro Diner will definitely remain on our repeat brunch spots list.

    I really like their fried chicken, especially with the syrup and hot sauce combination, which adds a nice sweet-and-spicy flavor. The broccoli was pretty good and a solid side option, while the fries were okay and what you'd expect. The apple cinnamon bread pudding was cool and a nice way to finish the meal. Everything came out in a timely manner. The service was good, with friendly and attentive staff, and the restaurant was clean and well kept. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience with a good mix of flavors and comfort food options.

    2nd fried chicken Benedict with perfectly poached soft eggs
    Indiasky B.

    We were in the area and wanted some diner food. Though this location is more of a store front in a strip mall instead of the usual stand alone diners, we decided to try it out. I was so happy to see fried chicken Benedict on the menu this is what I ordered. My companion ordered the steak tip with mash and green beans. It didn't come with soup or salad as at other diners. Our food arrived and as soon as I cut into my Benedict the eggs were cooked hard! So disappointed!! My companion was disappointed with their food as it was served in a bowl instead of a flat plate. The green beans had a crisp bite to them which was not to their liking. There was more mushroom than steak tips but I thought the flavor was good. I said I'd take it home and buy another entre but they insisted on eating it anyway. I got my chicken Benedict back after sending it back and this time the poached eggs were soft and blended into the hollandaise sauce. I enjoyed every bite! This location was clean and the service was quick. Despite our hiccup I'd try this place again. Hopefully give it another star!

    Our server was very attentive and very friendly. She was quick with her service and delivery. My daughter ordered the mimosa flight, which was mostly juice. Our breakfast were very good and delivered while still warm. The only issue my daughter had was her over medium eggs were over hard instead, and her toast was barely dark so they took both back got her new eggs, which weren't bad, but the toast was burnt behind recognition. It's a very clean location and it has a back room as well as the front dining area. It has a lot of booths and a few tables. For some reason I always prefer booths.

Now let's talk about the food... because WOW. The Signature Pancake Platter was unreal--fluffy, golden, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes that honestly might be some of the best I've had. Adding the soft poached eggs took it to another level (that perfect yolk ), and the hash browns were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--exactly how they should be. We also ordered the West Coast Omelet with feta, and it was packed with flavor--super fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, and a generous portion. And yes... we had to add extra pancakes (no regrets), which were just as amazing the second time around. Shoutout to our server JJ, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Service like that really stands out. Everything came out hot, fresh, and quickly, and the portions are more than generous for the price. You definitely won't leave hungry.
