Carlo Y.

A great diner for brunch, i got the fried chicken Benedict, it was tasty and get flavored. Also it was crunchy with the fried chicken. The service was excellent, our server Natalie took good care of us. I like this location better than the one in Pineville, it has more space. Great experience overall.

Chicken Pot Pie
Tauheedah M.

We ordered via UE so can't speak on the actual location. Emmanuel over the phone was very kind. We ordered Turkey and dressing meal, Chicken Finger meal (Asked for them to be grilled) with Mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, Chicken Pot Pie and Honey Teriyaki Chicken bites. Everything was good!!! I didn't like the dressing but I'm picky with dressing but everything was good.

Bathroom
Isaac F.

What's up with the bathroom in that place . You can literally see from both ends . No Privacy when you gotta go to the bathroom. Men deserve privacy as much as women do too. Food is good and service as well but the bathroom situation needs to be fixed

Western Omelet HOME FRIES
Dee C.

I haven't been here in over a year and it's such a wonderful feeling to see that the food and service is still great. Also I'm happy to see that they've decided to try shrimp and grits without the grit cakes. The ambience is open and friendly, you're seated close enough to make a friend but far enough to not hear any personal conversations. This has and always will be one of my favorite little spots. They didnt have mimosa flights before so I definitely got one, the orange juice was my least favorite flavor but only because the OJ was way too tart/sour. The blueberry lemon pancake was delicious (chefs kiss) and the omelette was full of meat and veggies just how I like it. My favorite meal here is the chicken and waffles, it's so worth the price and your tummy will love you for life. My sis ordered it and demolished it before I could snap a pic. The most beautiful, brown and crispy chicken and waffles I've ever laid eyes on. If you haven't given this spot a try, what in the world are you waiting on. Don't walk, run run run

Croissant french toast
D A.

I used DoorDash to get rid of a sweet tooth I had. I ordered the croissant french toast. The croissant wasn't as flaky as I'd like, but it was still good. It was hot when delivered. This was my first DD order from here. I usually stop by for a take out order.

Pumpkin Pancakes
Dani D.

Cute little dinner! Stopped here on a whim while traveling through town. We specifically wanted brunch which is why we stopped here. There were tons of adult breakfast drinks from bloody Mary's to mimosas and flavored coffees. Our waitress was really nice and told us all about daily specials. I ordered the pumpkin pancake stack- holy. Carp. They were so good. My fiancé got the croissant French toast and said they were good too. We could have split but honestly, I'm glad I have leftover.

This is my first time frequenting Metro and let me just say they did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the service was superb! Our server Dino was outstanding. I would come back here 100 times over!!!!

Now this is a chain I've never heard of but I feel like I've been living under a rock because it's now one of my favorite breakfast joints! I love the old school diner aesthetic, and the meat lovers scramble was phenomenal! From cinnamon roll pancakes to croissant French toast their breakfast menu has a lot to offer so I am going to have to go back and make several visits! I also need to head back for lunch because I've been told their cheesesteak is top notch as well.

Here we go Metro!

There is a sign inside this restaurant that says that this where the locals come to eat. Well I believe it. You can eat breakfast here all day. Boom. This place was approved by Guy from diners,drive inns and dives and after I ate their famous meat loaf it has got my approval as well. Guy has to drive along way to get here. I am a local and only have to drive five minutes to get to this awesome feast fest restaurant. They also sell a lot chicken and waffles plates here. Real onion rings as well. God Bless all my fellow foodies.

Menu 5/2024
Matt S.

One thing you can count on in a Diner is good old comfort food and the Metro delivered. During our two visits we sampled the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, meatloaf, turkey plate, and a couple burgers. Although some items were better than others, service was always quick and prompt. This place does get busy around meal time so plan on a wait if you're there around rush hour.

First impression was good. The restaurant itself looked clean and family-oriented. It had a diner-like feel. We ordered breakfast. (Breakfast is served all day.) Our server was very pleasant, attentive and friendly. I ordered one chocolate chip pancake with strawberries and whipped cream, and a turkey sausage patty. My husband had an omelet with hash browns and a biscuit. Overall, we thought everything was very good. My husband said he prefers his hash browns more browned and crunchy; and that his biscuit could have been a little better, but he was still pleased with his meal. I have no complaints about my pancake and turkey sausage. The thing I liked most about this place was that there were many choices on the menu, and the prices were reasonable. Finally, a place you can enjoy that has good food, a nice atmosphere and won't cost you an arm and a leg. This is closest to a real diner that I've eaten at in a long time. As we waited for our food to come out (which didn't take long at all), we noticed other waitstaff delivering amazing-looking food to tables. Our mouths were watering!! We will definitely be back. A very enjoyable experience.

Refreshing, bright, and the perfect start to breakfast. Chorizo Hash A solid choice. I was expecting a bit more spice and depth of flavor, but it was still a tasty and hearty meal. Single "Fluffy" Pancake Unfortunately, this one missed the mark. Nothing fluffy about it and it was thin and overcooked. Definitely room for improvement here. Apple Butter & Biscuits The apple butter paired with their biscuits? Chef's kiss. Absolutely delicious. Overall: I'd still recommend Flying Biscuit if you're looking for a warm, hearty breakfast spot. There are definite hits on the menu, and with a few tweaks, the experience could be even better. I'd go back!

Biscuits and gravy are a southern staple and rarely have I had any that were really good, except here at Vicious Biscuit. Biscuits are their business. The most important elements are the biscuits and the gravy. Additions are many and varied, but if the basic two items are not both excellent, you will have a disappointing experience. The Vicious biscuit is the size of a hamburger bun. It is soft and there are bits of spice in the dough. These biscuits do not fall apart, but stay together and serve to soak up the wonderful sausage gravy that is poured on top of it. You can order just a biscuit with gravy for $8. And if you are timid, start here. Otherwise, there are add-ons like very good fried chicken, shrimp and grits, ham, pulled smoked pork, crab, bacon, fried shrimp. fried eggs and other combos. Super choices, so take time to study the menu which is extensive. Portions are great, very generous. I had their Vicious ($12). It was their Cheddar jalapeño biscuit, crispy fried chicken, maple sausage gravy, cowboy candy, with maple syrup drizzle. I was hesitant as to the maple syrup, but it is just enough to give accent to the gravy, but not super sweet. Wife had Fried Green 'Maters ($9.50) which were four fried green tomatoes, their signature pimento cheese with a pickled okra garnish. She could not eat it all, so I helped finish off the lone tomato and a bit of the cheese. Very good. Vicious Biscuit is more that a meal, it is an experience, even a journey, through this traditional southern staple, biscuits and gravy. Enjoy the trip. We might see you there.

Inside however they also have a market featuring lots of local products, and a sit down cafe serving up salads and toasted sandwiches. I came in here on a quiet Sunday afternoon and we elected to sit outside in their walled in patio area. It was a pleasant place to sit and our service was prompt and friendly. For my sandwich I chose the turkey chipotle bacon without the tomatoes. The sandwich tasted great and the bread was toasted nicely. If I have one complaint it's that for $14.00 I think the sandwich could have been a bit bigger, or maybe I was just too hungry because I scarfed it down in an instant! Still the chips that accompanied it were a good snack and I enjoyed my meal. This is definitely a good spot to grab a lunch, I wish I had more time and I would have enjoyed the opportunity to browse their market. Matthews has a lot of great locally owned spots and this is for sure one of them.
