Great presentation and taste. Super friendly staff. Our waiter was so nice and he was having a busy day but he didn't seem to mind. I will definitely remember my experience. It's Sunday at lunch and everyone was nice amidst the busy time. Price was satisfactory. read more

When it first opened, it was good. My wife and I went last week and was not as enthusiastic about the place. We both ordered the fish and when it arrived it didn't look right, but I tasted it anyway. It was like it was old and very very dried out. We sent it back and the waitress was very apologetic. We rarely send anything back. We then asked for hamburger patties and that wasn't much better. No flavor and very dry. So I don't think we will go back. read more

I order delivery from here often and the food is always great! We've tried everything from breakfast to dinner. I will say they use a good amount of salt but I like that, some may not. read more

The food was delicious & the portions are huge! We took home several to-go boxes. Our server, Kayla, was very friendly & attentive. It was a busy Saturday evening but that didn't stand in her way from providing excellent service. Everything was very clean including the menus & kids high chairs. The staff works as a team which helps with prompt service & quick turn around read more

Well expected more but after seeing this a chain was still hoping it could be good. Well tried the pot roast but forgot to bring a hack saw to cut it up. Tried a burger and order med well and got raw. Mistakes happen and it was crowded and might come back. Service was great ! read more

Went for lunch 1st time there. I had the meatloaf plate. Absolutely the WORST meatloaf ever!! All bread, no meat! Yuck! Mashed potatoes were ok, and gravy was ok. Mixed veggies were bland and tasteless. My friend had the shrimp and grits. They were to be on a grit cake but we're out of the cakes, so they substituted cheese grits. It turned out to be more of a shrimp and grits soup!. Flavor was really good, but it wasn't shrimp and grits as you know it. Probably will go and try breakfast sometime but never lunch again. read more

When you go to the website it says 50% off your first entree and I signed up with one email didn't receive anything so I tried two other emails and received nothing.. what's the point of the advertising if it doesn't do anything read more

Great Place for satisfying food - whatever you're in the mood for. They have a huge menu: From chicken pot pie to chicken and waffles to meatloaf. The Holy Davoli burger is possibly the best burger I've ever eaten. A half pound burger topped with lettuce slaw and bacon - sandwiched between two GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES! Absolute gluttonous perfection. I always think I'll only eat half, but it's so good i always eat the whole thing! read more

I enjoyed my experience the first time I went. The second time on the other hand was horrible! It took an hour and thirty minutes to receive our food, the appetizer came out with the meal, our server barely came around then let our drinks stay empty and our food was cold. It was Mother's Day but that is no excuse because tables that had gotten there 20-30 minutes after us food was received before us. I used to be a server so I understand that things happen I was just highly disappointed. read more

A favorite of ours when we visit. Thank you Kristen for taking care of us. If you haven't tried the pot roast or fried chicken, OMG you won't be disappointed. read more

Friendly and attentive host staff, our server Raven was just as great to interact with. Because it was busy and we were on our way back to Nashville, we sat at the bar... great idea to view all food being prepared and served. The open kitchen concept speaks volumes about an honest-to-goodness eatery that prides itself in their quality. Kitchen staff, though very busy, were all friendly and entertaining, someone always cleaning... all like a beautiful concert well managed every step of the way. Now the food... wow! Best hollandaise I've had in a while. Delicious balance of flavor and texture on my eggs benedict. Hash browns had that perfect crunch on the outside combo with the soft and flavorful inside and barely any grease... just well done! The croissant French toast? Delicious! Custardy croissants expertly seared on the outside with a sweet and soft inside to enjoy the well-balance custard full of flavor. Will definitely go back! read more

Love their homemade biscuits, fast and friendly service and a good atmosphere. We will be back.

This is probably my favorite place to eat now i got the eggs bencit and OMG amazing the staff was great very friendly treated me like family it was definitely 10 out of 10 great experience read more

I've only lived here for almost 8 months and by far this is my favorite restaurant in Alabama! I crave it everyday and my favorite dish is the Waffles & Chickens. And I tends to ordered it more often then the other dishes but I love every dish I've tried so far. In addition, their customer services, the employees from servers to waitresses, waiters, are friendly and mostly on point with assisting customers. I truly would love to see this restaurant to expands much bigger than it is because it is always so crowded and that is a great thing because it shows how much the community and other potential customers enjoying the foods and everything about Metro Diner. I love the board they have serving daily new specials and just the atmosphere too is very warm and welcoming. This place deserves double stars if provided for mega excellence! Thank you for serving! Love it! read more

Metro Diner - My favorite Metro Diner dish- Waffles & Chickens!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madison, Alabama

The service was great but my sausage links tasted sour so I could not eat it. But the chicken and waffles were great.

Great spot for breakfast. I got the2 eggs combo. It came with 3 slices of bacon and 2 full slices of toast and hash browns. Eggs were cooked well and the bacon was crispy. My son first ordered the kids waffle. He didn't care for the taste (tasted good to the adults) so we got him a biscuit and egg which he enjoyed. I didn't expect them to but they comped the waffle. Great little place to eat if you are in the area! read more

Definitely won't be back. We arrived right before 8pm knowing they closed at 9. The food was amazing. The service was absolutely awful. We were helped by everyone except our waitress, and not because she was helping customers. She was either cleaning up tables or talking to other employees about how she was going to the beach. My husband had to get to get our own straws because the waitress forgot and never came back by. His coke was empty for about five minutes. Finally another employee came and offered a refill. We were literally the only people in there 45 minutes before closing. We had to wait for yet another person to ask us if we needed our check. I've never had service that bad and felt so ignored. But the food was great. I highly recommend the food if you don't mind horrible service or hopefully you get a decent waitress unlike us. read more

We've eaten here twice. Both time the flavor and menu was excellent. First time, though, my wife's food was served cold. Server couldn't find a manger. After about 20 min, at meals end, she was embarrassed to say that her manager was never located and no one knew where he was. Because the food was great, we tried it again last night. Again, food was great but the service this time was a disaster. No drink refills, forgot my toddlers drink, nearly spilt pitcher of ice water on toddler, when he scanned my card he handed it back wet and sticky, etc. Then when we were leaving, we asked the hostess to get us a to go drink because we didn't want to deal with the server any more. She got a server to go get it, and proceeded to tell a manager about the situation. He looked at us and then walked away. The food and menu here is great, and I hope they either get new management or get their acts together, because it would be a shame for this restaurant to not succeed. read more

Crew is still getting into the groove, but the food choices are excellent and portion size is quite large.

Great dinner tonight. So many great choices to choose from. Our son had breakfast, my husband a chicken sandwich and I had the best French dip I've ever eaten. Excellent service topped off our dinner experience. read more

Kiersten served my family and I this morning and was wonderful. Fruity waffle, biscuits and gravy and egg breakfasts were all very good. Coffee was very nice!!! Kiersten was funny, helpful and quick. She made us all smile! read more

My fiancé and I came and ate at this new location Tuesday night. We decided to sit at the bar top overlooking the cooks working to avoid the wait. The cooks took the time to ask us how our meal was that they had just prepared. It was fantastic! They were so positive and uplifting towards one another on a super busy time in their night. Our waitress was SO nice! She was assertive and helpful with menu items! Unfortunately we had this grumpy old man come and sit by us with a book. He hadn't even been sitting for 15 seconds before he grabbed a waitress and demanded "What does it take to get some service around here?" Through his rude comment, the waitress was still so professional and polite we were actually shocked. He then said what he wanted, said "I want it now, and I want it free of charge!!" I was honestly shocked at the audacity this guy had after only sitting about 15 SECONDS and I don't even know if they gave it to him but they professionalism they showed and the service was commendable! They earned our business and we will definitely be back! read more

Metro Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madison, Alabama

See all

DELICIOUS FOOD! Friendly staff, good service, and my 8 year old daughter loved it too. It's her favorite Mac and cheese, and it's my favorite pot pie. That shrimp and grits...AMAZING! We go there at least once a week. read more

Good food! Excellent service. Their portion sizes will leave you with a large waist :).

Oh my! The Chicken and waffles are delicious! I'm a real fussy person when eating fried chicken. This chicken is not greasy but moist with crispy coating. Absolutely the best ever chicken with a fantastic tasting waffle. Now here's the real kicker... this was a take out order! The meal was packed well. The Chicken container held the four pieces of chicken and three containers of scrumptious sauce. The waffle container had strawberry butter, regular butter, and syrup. This waffle was thick buttermilk Belgian style. It surpassed expectations! Actually the whole experience from ordering right up to pick up was an excellent experience! Polite, casual, and professional people actually handled this meal! Thank you everyone! I will be back! The Metro Diner is a pleasant experience with the most delicious food. This is the Lancaster PA Royerstown Road diner. Yes I returned and ordered four more meals. I had my daughter place this order and yes it was handled with the same exceptional service! Our family will definitely return and enjoy tasting everything on the menu. read more

Food is inconsistently hot and cold and quality is poor. Sometime it's good and the next time not so much. Soup tastes like a mix.

Great food! Great wait staff. Always enjoy myself here. Really enjoyed their chicken and waffles. Definitely recommend for brunch.

Chicken salad sandwich..Could eat just half with fries Took other half home for next day. Good..not too much mayo.good fries as well read more

This is by far our favorite breakfast, brunch and dinner spot! The food is always amazing. The wait staff are always friendly and attentive.

I have been wanting to try this place out as I've heard good things about it. We order and the waiter, James (I think), brings back one order and along with my fries. He said my meal will be a little longer. (Why would you bring fries out when they get cold so fast?) 7 minutes later my food comes out. I ask for new fries as mine are now cold. The new fries finally show up as I am finishing my meal. They tasted like they were fried with fish. I asked James if they mix cooking oil. He said no and walked off. When he comes back with the check I told him the fries tasted horrible. He couldn't care less that we were in there, yet alone about the fries. The common sense thing to do would be to remove the fries OR at least apologize. He never even thanked us for coming in. I will definitely not be back. read more

The service was great! I had the protein breakfast and the scrambled cheese eggs were very dry, bland and not well made:(

Have been there 4 times now. Foods ok. some days are better then others for food and service. Have had a manager come out to our table two of the four times to apologize for us being forgotten. Parking is a pain if they are moderately busy. you have to park in the back and walk around the building to the front and hope to not get run over. read more

Chicken & waffles is very good. Pot roast is pretty good, but comes with a watery gravy. Chicken pot pie is good. Hamburger not so good. Service has been very good each visit. read more

I have to say, been here twice and DELICIOUS! Very much a great comfort food place. The fried chicken was seasoned perfectly and very juicy. One of my new favorite places to go when I'm craving fried chicken! Diner style, down home sides too. Yum! read more

Great service and great food. Avocado toast was delicious, hash-browns were the best ever. New favorite brunch spot for weekends with our family. read more

Arriving for midweek lunch at 1:30 still required a 15 minute wait. The service was prompt and attentive. James kept the iced tea full, and brought the bill at a good time. I ordered the buffalo chicken salad. The portion was quite large, and enough chicken for every bite of greens. While this wasn't the cheapest lunch, it wasn't too expensive for the quantity, quality and service here. read more

Great food. Lovely atmosphere. The staff is very nice and I love the location. Makes it very convenient for a quick bite to eat.

Hands down Awesome! Plenty of food for the price. Service great and prompt. Ive had multiple items off the menu and they never disappoint.

This was our first time here, and let me tell you... WOW!!!! The flavors, the staff and the atmosphere was perfect!!! They greeted us with a smile and helped us with our choices! I had the breakfast pie and my wife had the apple stuffed waffles. Both were delicious and huge portions! We will be back! read more

I had the best pot pie ever!! The pot roasts incredible and the chicken OR the waffles are spot on.
