    Chocolate cake.  I added the ice cream.

    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.

We selected Doc B's and it was our first time here. Normally, we would be at one our favorite restaurants across the parking lot, Seasons 52. I'm so happy we tried Doc B's. It was absolutely amazing on every single facet of being a great eatery. The facility is inviting and fits a business casual lunch crowd and would also be most appropriate for a date night or special gathering. Friendly and prompt service starts at the hostess stand and just builds from that point. Our server, Sam (Samantha) was one of the most professional and attentive server we have experienced in some time. It takes a great management team to mold a staff to be exceptional. And to our surprise the General Manager, John served us our entrees at the table. But later checked in with us to evaluate our experience; which is unheard of these days. John and Samantha impressed us so very much, that Doc B's will now become a regular destination. Oh yes, I should comment on our food and cocktails. TOP NOTCH!! My wife had a carnitas sandwich with slow roasted pork, coleslaw, a pickle spear and thick onion ring with amazing barbecue sauce. It was served with the best tasting side I have ever put in my mouth. You must see what they do with a smashed baby Yukon potato with special breading and deep fried. I had the famous Wok Bowl with shrimp and lo mein noodles and sweet and spicy Thai sauce. It is packed with the freshest vegetables and sprinkled with cashews. I was blown away with the quantity of shrimp in that bowl. They do not skimp on the protein. I enjoyed this dish so very much and can truly say it isnt just a stir fry entree. Beautiful facility, friendly and attentive staff, management that truly cares about the customer and quality food coming from the kitchen that will not disappoint.

For what it costs, it felt grossly overpriced and did not justify the hype. The bigger issue was the service. We waited about 10 minutes before a server came to the table, and then waited at least another 30 minutes for the food. I know the timing because we sat down right as the World Cup match started, and the food did not arrive until around the 35-minute mark. I understand restaurants get busy, but the combination of slow service, long wait times, and overpriced food made this a very disappointing visit. For the price point, I expected much better.

When we arrived there were dirty dishes stacked on every empty table in the restaurant. The employees did their best to be friendly but it was clear they were harassed, and the service was incredibly slow. I would estimate that it took about 25 minutes (maybe 30) from the time we ordered until we got our food. During that time we weren't offered a coffee refill until the food arrived, and the water we asked for didn't arrive until our food did. We didn't even see our waitress for about 20 minutes, and this isn't a big restaurant. I realize that every restaurant struggles to find enough employees in the current environment. Maybe we just need to eat out less and cook at home more. But it's hard when you're traveling, as we are. This restaurant has the food down, but the service is a problem, or at least it was today. I remember eating at LePeep in Castleton 30 years ago and it was fabulous. But you can't do it without workers.

The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth.

The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, solid value. Highly recommended.

If you're in the Keystone area, give Drake's a try. You'll be happy you did.

    After several visits here I have finally decided that the best thing to order is sushi. This is…read morethe favorite restaurant of one of my friends, and I know that when I go out to eat with her this is probably where we will be dining. Over my various visits I have tried a burger, a quesadilla, some appetizers, and finally sushi. Definitely the sushi was the best meal I've had here. I ordered a crab Rangoon roll and California roll. While I thought the California roll was just average, the crab Rangoon roll was excellent! I would definitely order it again. From our booth near the bar we could see water dripping down from the ceiling onto the floor and a couple of other nearby booths. A few employees were cleaning up the water but I wondered what the source of the water was since it had not been raining. Service has always been good enough here. Not excellent, not poor, but good enough. I'll definitely stick with the sushi on my next visit.
