    I had chosen to pay a consistent amount. I changed to Metro every morning for breakfast. Unfortunately, the mood changed as soon as I was a regular. No smiles anymore. Suspicious looks. Acted like I was just another thing to do. At $15 a plate, I expected a smile, a look of appreciation for a good tip, and a thank you for coming in. In my opinion, the other wait staff are resentful of kindness and appreciation. Tips are payed accordingly.

    4.5 stars: Always have great service here, the stsff id great. Also love the views when you sit outside! They can make you just about anything as the menu is huge and their fried chicken is the best Does get really packed on the weekends

    This is my fourth time eating here, with visits years apart. Friend from SC came to visit and we had an earlier breakfast so that they could start home mid-morning. I arrived first and was warmly welcomed by the Hostess and asked if I wanted to wait inside for my friends. I did! I then received hot water for tea and a large OJ to get started. My friends arrived and we ordered from the wide variety of breakfast entries and sides. I got my favorite "San Francisco Eggs Benedict," one friend got an Avocado Toast Breakfast Sandwich, and the other got a Belgian Waffle. Everything was tasty and a very nice-sized serving. Our waitperson, Barbie, was friendly, attentive and efficient. She also brought a box out with ingredients of the Hollandaise Sauce so I could ascertain for myself that there was nothing onion in it (allergy). That was so nice!! It was very busy but the hostess kept seating people so she had a good system. Highly recommend!

    Tried the waffle and chicken for the first time. Delicious with whipped strawberry butter and served with spicy syrup. Served with a smile. No wait time and plenty of parking. Cost affordable

    This is a tiny diner from outside, but inside has quite a bit of room. It is in with Hurricanes and Fresh Market just before or after the bridge (depending on which way you are traveling) Most of the time when we walk in we are told to sit where ever we want. Once on a weekend they made us sit in the back corner and it was freezing, I will request another seat should they sit us there again. I usually order the same thing : Western omelet, sub American for the cheddar and no salsa. They have fresh fruit you can get instead of potatoes which is good. I had their avocado toast once too and it was delicious. My husband changes his food up and his has always been good. They have lunch and dinner too, but we have only been for breakfast. Their dinners are typical diner food. Meatloaf, turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, fried fish etc.

    I've eaten at Metro Diner before but not this location. The service was exceptional, I don't know the waitresses's name but she was super fast and friendly. We tried the fish & chips and alls a breakfast platter and avocado toast. It was all surprisingly good. I've always liked Metro, but I am always surprised when I come back. Always quality and consistent. We sat outside and it was nice. Traffic was a bit loud but nonetheless it was enjoyable.

    Went out for brunch with a friend today. We had Robin as our server and she has to be one of the best servers I've ever had. We coincidentally get her most of the time when we go and she is incredible. Food and drinks always come out in a timely manner and always correct and she is so so sweet! 10/10 recommend if you come here to ask for her!

    The food at this Metro diner is consistently good. This location has very nice outdoor seating with glimpses of the river. The service is quick and polite.

They greeted me as soon as I walked in, asked the right questions, and made me feel welcome. However, there was a young man who was incredibly rude. The first thing he said to me was, "What are you picking up?" I responded, "Let's start with a hello. How are you?" Instead of acknowledging that, he simply repeated the same question. At that point, I walked over to the ladies, who were extremely kind and helpful. Now, onto the food. I'm genuinely not trying to let my customer service experience influence my opinion, but I have to be honest--the food was pathetic. It lacked seasoning and flavor. Even after adding the salt and pepper packets that came with the utensils, it only made a slight difference. Unfortunately, nothing about the meal would make me want to come back. Even my one-year-old refused to eat it, which meant we had to spend even more money to get food somewhere else. The one highlight was the biscuit. I believe it was homemade, and it was genuinely delicious--probably the best part of the meal. Aside from that, I can't recommend the food based on my experience.

From the moment you walk in, the retro decor, classic Hollywood memorabilia, and spinning jukebox create a nostalgic diner atmosphere that feels warm and inviting. The food is just as enjoyable as the setting. They serve classic comfort food along with all-day breakfast favorites, including fluffy omelets, scratch-made pancakes, French toast, and hearty country fried steak. Their burgers are hand-formed and never frozen, and the Reuben is another standout, packed with plenty of flavor. And you definitely want to save room for one of their hand-dipped milkshakes or malts. With 11 flavors to choose from, there's something for every sweet tooth. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick, which made the whole experience even better. Johnny Angel's is the kind of family-owned diner where good food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere come together. A great place to enjoy some classic comfort food with a side of nostalgia!

We ordered the shrimp and gouda grits, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and a couple of brunch cocktails. The shrimp and grits were beautifully presented, creamy, flavorful, and covered in a rich sauce that brought everything together.

Uptown Kitchen & Bar was a delicious surprise during our getaway. If you're in Jacksonville and looking for a good brunch spot with flavorful food and fun drinks, it's definitely worth stopping by!

We thought for sure they would make us sit outside in that heat but we got a decent table inside towards middle. We arrived there about 11:40am and table was ready at noon we sat at the table after host seated us for 40 mins before even being offered water or anything. Our waiter (Nicole). Came to table when we first arrived just to tell us she would be with us shortly just for us to wait almost an hour. ATP we are starved and super thirsty. 12:38 she came to table to say "I'll be wit y'all in a few" and looked back to see the table behind us was her table too but came after us. So she finally took our order after realizing we were still waiting patiently. The food came out within 15-18 mins and was fresh. We had no complaints on the food at all other than my grits was a little lumpy. But still a great flavor. Everytime our waiter came back she seemed to be irritated or frustrated, but you shouldn't take that out on the customers specifically ones who have been nothing but kind. After we finished eating she brung a payment book with one receipt and said "is it ok that it's all on one receipt?" But it was more like she was telling us and didn't ask before hand and didn't even let us answer. She sat the receipt down and just walked out as we were answering. We planned to have 3 different checks because we were going separate ways. I called the manager over and he fixed it immediately and apologized for that. Some people just don't need to work in customer service. I get people have bad days but that was a bad experience for our first time there. Everyone else was super sweet except her. Atleast our food was good. Her customer service is definitely a 4/10. Even the table behind us was upset and requested a refund on the food. I would definitely go back just wouldn't want her as a server!
