    We recently ate at Metro Diner after attending a local event with our daughter and daughter-n-law. While I typically prefer eating at locally owned, non-chain establishments, this was convenient and we had not tried it. The diner is huge with a plethora of seating, and we were seated immediately. Our server arrived within several minutes to get our order and returned in a timely manner with the drinks. Everyone in our party opted for breakfast options, despite it being mid-afternoon when we arrived. My review can only speak to the breakfast options. Everyone was pleased with their food, and I would compare the quality to that of the average diner experience. The portions were huge. One person in our party got the mimosa flight and they were just okay in my opinion. Our server was attentive, keeping our drinks topped off regularly. It appears that Metro is a well-loved spot as it remained very busy during our entire visit. Parking is plentiful as the diner is located in a strip mall.

    Metro Diner never disappoints! I ordered the San Francisco Benedict and it was fantastic, perfectly cooked eggs, rich hollandaise, and great flavor all around. The portion was generous and everything came out hot and fresh. On top of that, our waitress was amazing, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Great food and great service make this a place I'll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend.

    We stopped into this diner after The PUG FEST at the Kentucky Fairgrounds to grab dinner. As per my usual, I had breakfast for dinner (gravy w/ biscuit, eggs, hash browns, sausage). Right up there with the Waffle House albeit a bit more $$$. My daughter-in-law opted to include a Mimosa flight with her entree. Chicken and waffles seemed to be the most ordered entree judging from the tables nearby. Clean restaurant with comfortable seating and prompt service.

    Since we were nearby at the Preston 16 Cinema this was a perfect stop for dinner. Reasonable prices and no nonsense home cooked meals is their forte. Service was very good and food was filling. My wife ordered the pot roast special and I went with the roast turkey dinner. Of course my wife came home with leftovers. Unfortunately there wasn't room for dessert.

I don't expect an entire separate box of fries, but more than 10 would be nice- especially for $4! They were sure to tack on a $1 service charge as well, even though I was picking the food up. Burger Girl used to be a Louisville classic, but lately that's come to mean less "don't skip this if your life depends on it" and more "renowned for their awful food." As time goes on, I am honestly becoming more and more disappointed with Burger Girl. The point of a greasy spoon is to be cheap, quick, and filling, and Burger Girl misses on all of those fronts. For their prices I could go to a nicer restaurant with better food and a better experience. Honestly, as inflation continues to soar and quality continues to plummet, I find myself asking why I even bother going out, when I know I'll just be disappointed in the end. This might be the last straw for me, at least when it comes to Burger Girl. It just doesn't feel worth it anymore.

I mentioned how quick the service was and she did mention a Tuesday was a slow day. The seasoning on the fries are the best I've ever had! The burger was cooked to perfection with the buttery bun. I enjoyed my root beer with my combo. Very cool diner vibe. If you're looking for a great burger and fry joint, this will definitely not disappoint!

First off - I love this local gem, and I think it was just an odd/off night. It started with a scary trip to the ladies room, and it was just a mess. The first part of our evening (meeting friends) was great. Cocktails were tasty and the music was vibing. Fried pickles were AWESOME. At one point, the bartender changed the record and it became crazy loud - we literally couldn't hear the person 2 feet away speaking. A member of our party got up and asked the bartender if he could turn it down (asked politely), and was ignored. Literally ignored - bartender looked at my friend and the just walked away (and not to turn down the music). Next cocktail was AWFUL... food came out, and it was hot but nothing great; fries were oily. Churros were tough and overcooked as well. Our server (a younger woman) was attentive and friendly, and that was the highlight of our visit. She did turn down the music when we asked (and after another table I believe also asked). It wasn't a busy night, and I love the vinyl vibe and cool venue - we will come back and try again, but when 3 cocktails, an appetizer, and entree cost close to $100 before tip (for 2 - our friends were the same, so $200 for a table), you really need to be on point and provide solid service.

    THIS IS HOW BREAKFAST IS DONE!…read more I'm always looking for the local flavor that stands out among the crowd and Breakfast AF (cool name btw), really held true to their brand. Situated an easy drive from downtown, and part of the Schnitzeltown are of Louisville, this apparently was a legacy deli counter back in the heyday and the original corner Hauck's deli sign is still visible. The expansion seems to include a few bars, a pizza joint, breakfast joint, and a revised deli with a smoker actively going at the end of the complex. And it is complex... we sat out front on the patio of the breakfast joint since we had the pup with us, but had I known how large the rear patio was, we would've chosen to sit back there away from the road traffic. I the menu is straightforward... the fare is on the higher side of breakfast pricing, but the portions are enormous and I easily made two meals off my sandwich and home fries. Speaking of which... get it... wich... okay fine. I chose the fried chicken/bacon/egg sandwich on Texas toast and it was... substantial. I added home fries, but honestly, the sandwich was a meal on and of itself. The two succulent chicken tenders exploded with flavor of a distinctive savoriness and that flavor peaked when I dipped them in maple syrup (they have a dispenser next to the coffee pots). The egg and bacon were perfectly cooked, complemented each other well, and the buttery toast just pulled it all together. My wife chose the shrimp-n-grits and that was just a flavor bomb with every bite. Savory grits with the slightly sweet shrimp, topped with smoked pork belly, and drizzled with a chili crisp oil that simply overwhelmed the tastebuds with every bite. It's a line order with pagers, so place your order, grab a table, and the coffee/water is self serve over across from order pickup. The back patio is open air, expansive, and spans the entirety of the multi space front buildings. There's even a soft surface children's playground behind the new deli. I was just absolutely astounded and definitely want to make it back to try their lunch fare next time I'm in town!
