One of the best places I've found in the area for good, down home food. The fried chicken is fantastic! Flavorful and fried crispy! I've not had one thing that I didn't like but the chicken and waffles has been my go to. They have a strawberry butter that is just perfect in the fluffy and crispy waffles and the spicy/sweet dipping sauce for the chicken is fantastic. You could have it for any meal and not go wrong. Their portion sizes are great as well. I can usually get 2 meals out of one order. Prices are reasonable and they really do have a lot of options. I look forward to trying everything on the menu if I can stop being sidetracked by the chicken and waffles! read more

I love metro diners, fried chicken and waffles with their special hot syrup! It's delicious! They are friendly and the food comes out quickly! The shrimp and grits always gets rave reviews from the friends I bring for brunch! read more

This place was surprisingly busy for a Monday afternoon! I came for lunch and it was packed. This is not my type of restaurant, but I came for mom because she had been here before and enjoyed it. They have beer and wine. And also a specialty drink that maybe changes daily or weekly? Anyway, this day it was peach iced tea. They had two daily soups, I got the broccoli and cheese and it was delicious. I ordered the avocado wrap and it was not my favorite. I didn't see any avocado at all. It had way too much spinach and it also had fried jalapeños, which were good, but way too much!!! I think they could lighten the spinach, add more fresh avocado, and only a few jalapeños and it'd be perfect!!! A little pricey, but not too bad. I may try this place again, but only if mom wants to!! She enjoyed her hamburger steak at least! read more

So my boss orders from here all the time. Anytime there is an opportunity for these guys to bring us lunch for the day. They pull up. But the meatloaf is not grandmas and neither is their mash (no salt). They have a lot of gravy when they deliver so if you want some to take home and bathe in you can do that. The other stuff is bleh. I'm not like wow put that in my mouth again. But it's alright. I rather forage for my own berries sometimes than eat this. read more

I had such an amazing breakfast that I almost order another one lol. The service was fast even with the place being packed. They were friendly too. The menu was priced very well, not expensive at all. PLUS the portions were not small. That's great, of course lol. Very well ran but the most important thing.... the food. I am still shocked at how delicious the food was. Definitely not a low grade diner. read more

Must place on bucket list lol. Basic diner with awesome food. The waffles n chicken are some of the best had and the strawberry butter just makes it next level!!!!! The scratch made corned beef hash with two eggs cooked perfectly medium and the fluffy moist biscuit with yup more strawberry butter was just slap yo momma good! I live at least 30 mins away but plan on another visit! Peach tea was too sweet for my taste but I don't like overly sweet drinks. read more

Went to Metro Diner in Matthews (May 26)...the last time I was there, I ordered chicken and waffles. The chicken tasted so amazing (waffle was cold but, I dealt with it) so, I went back and ordered the chicken platter for dinner. Soooo disappointed!!!!!!! Chicken had NO flavor!!! I dunno what happened but, the food should, at least, be consistent. Plus, I live too far away to have taken it back so, I'm very leary about going back. I was so hurt because I hadn't found chicken that tasted like that in a long time!!!! SMH....PW read more

FOOD: Huge Portions....everything that passed by our table looked delicious. I met my match with the pork tenderloin sandwich. My friend got the pot roast....he said he felt like they played it safe....but it was still good. My other friend got a basic breakfast.... he was OK with his too. Cost: Pricing was all over the board. More expensive than typical diners....but the large portions justify it.....I guess. Service: Seems to always be on a wait...but I believe thats because its new. Our server was full of personality, very efficient, and was just great Atmosphere: not a very warm feeling environment...kinda basic .... with an old skool throw back kinda feel. Location: Easy to find, lots of parking, lots of places to wait. Would I go there again? Yes. Is it the best in town...not quite yet...... but its not bad. My only MAJOR SUGGESTION - Later evening hours....till at least 10 or 11. You are losing business by closing at 8. There are very few places in Charlotte that are open to eat past 9 PM. That is frustrating. Later evening hours would be a HUGE plus! read more

We have eaten here once before, nephew's graduation, and loved it. There was a wait, but it is worth it. The coffee helped the wait while my dish cooked. I had the chicken and waffles. The strawberry butter is awesome. That must have been the biggest chicken because I had to take pieces home. The atmosphere is nice for families and the food really is good. read more

Brunch. Let's talk about it. Lets talk about Metro diner. I pull right up to the front of the building. I say building, but it's really the edge of one of the buildings in the Matthews festival shopping center. The one opposite the Harris teeter. I digress. There are a few families milling about outside of the entrance. Judging by the jam packed outdoor seating area, they must be waiting for tables. Any place that has a wait at 10:15 on a Sunday , let's just say that's a good sign. However I also don't see a single person in the outside seating area or among the about millers that looks like me. Some of my people abide by the rule that if you don't see us at a restaurant, then the restaurant must not be all that good. I don't agree with that per se, but I distinctly remember thinking, "hmm. I might be the lone brother in here." I took a moment to prep myself for that possibility. My worries were immediately abated when, upon entry, I was greeted by 2 bright eyed young ladies, one of whom looked like me, and was invited to seat myself at the bar next to another lady who looked like me. If you've never eaten at the bar in a diner, what is your life? There are few More interesting and enjoyable foodie experiences than watching 15 people operate a short order kitchen during a heavy food time. You've got 8-10 short order cooks, limbs and pans flying away. 2 kitchen managers are yelling out orders in that secret diner code. You order a Benedict Florentine? No my brother, that's a Vinnie. You've got a floor manager somehow keeping every order straight and calling out for runners, and these runners! They appear seemingly from the aether ready to get that Vinnie to your table, along with about 17 other orders, somehow not dropping a single plate. It's like watching that hallway scene from Daredevil season 1, except you get waffles instead of adrenaline. Everyone there was super friendly even amidst all the chaos of the brunch rush. I, being me, bugged the floor manager About different delectables as they would come out. I learned about corned beef and potato hash. I learned about strawberry butter (STRAWBERRY BUTTER!). Then something glorious happened. I saw my order as it came out. I have to tell you about the eggs. They have mastered the art of short order eggs. First, the scrambled eggs were dreamsicle yellow. They looked fluffy and creamy, the way I've only seen the Gordon Ramsay's of the world get them to come out. The omelettes (I got one) (more on that later) were like little pockets of sunshine. So yellow, with just the faintest hint of Brown when you get up close to them. The closest thing to it was the omelette I saw Jacque Pepin make on his tv show about 15 years back. Ok. So lets talk about my omelette. It came out wrong. I ordered an American omelette with added asparagus (you can get asparagus in an omelette, and that's what life is supposed to be). The American is thinly sliced ribeye, mushrooms, onions and cheese. I got 1/3 of the way through my omelette, when I got the oddest notion. You see this was one of the 2 or 3 best omelettes I've ever eaten. In all of life. It's easily the best from a technique stand point. The omelette was solid on the outside (remember the whole vaguest suggestion of brown thing?) But the center. It was like custard and souflee had formed a holy union in the middle of this omelette, and I was the only one invited to the reception. It's a testament to how good of an omelette they make that it took me a third of one too realize: my steak omelette was missing the steak. I asked about it, hoping to get some steak on the side, so I could finish the omelette as God intended. NOPE. What wound up happening was so much cooler. First the shift manager, or GM - a young brother with a headset and veto powers (more on that later) - came up and had a short convo with me about how an American is supposed to be. "Steak is supposed to be falling out the side of the omelette from the first bite!" He said, or something to that effect. He then orders me up another American with added asparagus "on the fly". Cool right? I get to have the full American experience plus, I still have my fruit and bacon, which was now Former bacon. I ate all the bacon is what I'm saying. I wait with my fruit cup, munching away on strawberries, continuing to marvel at the efficiency of the kitchen staff/ floor staff synergy. Another miracle happens. I get not only the full American, steak literally falling out the sides, but my FULL FRICKIN ORDER again! Double fruit. Double bacon. Now the veto powers. I get the first order comped. SOP, right? GM sees my check, picks it up, and puts down another check. I look at it. Other than my coffee, he comps the entire meal. That's service above and beyond the call of duty. Oh, yeah: I recommend and will be back in 2 weeks for those waffles. read more

We're big fans of the Pineville location so we were thrilled to see one opening closer to where we live and lucky enough to get an invite to the soft opening today. Honestly can't say enough good things about this place, everything is wonderful, the food, the service, the restaurant itself. Today we met Julie - the managing partner of this location - and she and her staff really seem to have it together. The food: (I'll upload some photos!) - I had the Yo Hala on the Square. Delicious item I was really hesitant to try in the past, but it was amazingly tasty (and huge!). Hubby had the Charleston Shrimp and Grits, also fabulous - I had a bite, definitely the best either of us has ever had. Teen daughter enjoyed the pound cake French toast (it's her *usual* from the many trips to the Pineville location), teen boy ordered the grilled three cheese with bacon and tomato, and then after he finished his, he finished my Yo Hala and his little sister's chicken tenders and macaroni and cheese and his Dad's shrimp and grits (he'll outgrow this phase, right??) - and his opinion was that it was all wonderful. If I had a complaint (I really don't!) it'd be that having a location here in Matthews really isn't encouraging me to cook at home more. Not at all! Full opening is Tuesday, counting the minutes - and I'm going back to *my* usual - because as much as I enjoyed the Yo Hala, NOTHING compares to their fried chicken and waffles (with strawberry butter to die for... SO GOOD!). Trust me, this is the place you want to go, breakfast, lunch AND dinner. ****** Update: back again yesterday and now (sadly) I've had to go gluten-free for health reasons. Never fear - they have a great GF menu and were able to get me some seriously tasty eats! I had the breakfast pie (I'll upload a photo) - eggs, mushrooms, peppers, cheese.. all kinds of yum and the fresh fruit on the side was wonderful despite the upcharge. Hubby had the Monte Cristo (photo of that too!) because he has no gluten issues and he also was thrilled. Definitely will be back (likely before next week lol!) read more

Honestly, This place kicks ass. Everything is great! Service is quick and friendly. Food is fast and good quality. Large menu. Breakfast, lunch, dinner....all of it is great! Prices are very reasonable. They have new specials every day. Atmosphere is very much like a diner. Nothing fancy but well maintained and clean. It's always fairly busy but they get food out quick so you're not waiting too long, if at all. I've never had to wait for a table of two but usually a larger party has to wait a moment. Weekend mornings and lunch seem to be the peak busy time. read more

OK so have to start this off saying I am little bias for diners! There are not a lot of true diners out there, but when I walked into this place at 10:45am and asked if they were serving lunch yet the hostess replied, "We server everything on the menu all the time." YES! a true diner! I get to work fairly early and am usually ready for lunch anywhere between 10 and 11am. Was greeted by my server right away and served my requested beverage. They started to loose a star here because after looking at the menu for just a minute I knew what I wanted and trying to get the servers attention was a bit annoying, especially when the people behind me, left and tables was cleaned then new person sat down and ordered his meal before she ever came back to me. However she was very kind and kept my drink filled (very important to me) and redeemed that number 5 star. Haven't tried a lot on the menu since this was my first time, but I got the Philly Cheese-steak and fries. Portion sizes were ample and food tasted really good. Nothing too fancy and traditional diner food cooked correctly! As I mentioned I am bias for diners and they hold a special place in my heart because my Grandfather took me to diners as a boy (many many years ago), he loved local diners and he would have loved this place. I was thinking about him the whole time and our restaurant visits. If I had any complaints it is only that too many people know about this gem and you have to hit them at the right times if you don't like waiting. Highly recommend trying them out! read more

What a great find!! We had car trouble and had to stay the night down the street. The food here is authentic. The menu offers a very good selection from breakfast to dinner. But unlike a lot of diners where they hand you a menu thicker then a tale of two cities with frozen things in the freezer that haven't seen light since Washington was in office, their menu food is fresh and perfected. We had the chicken fried steak which was excellent, meat was tender. The pot roast was as good as my grandmother's, my bride was in awe of the flavor. The decor is clean, neat, staff friendly and helpful. Prices very reasonable. I'd be fatter if I lived closer to here. read more

Good food, great friendly service and cute decor. Just like a diner should look. Will go here again.

It didn't start off well. Stood there at the stand waiting to be acknowledged let alone seated. About 3-4 minutes and it sure seemed longer. As I was turning to leave a cook sad hi and if I've been helped. I ordered the meatloaf plates I was in the mood for some home cooking. I didn't leave hungry. Two large pieces of meatloaf, mash potatoes, and grilled squash. Gravy on top. Meatloaf was a little to soft, mushy, for my taste. My mom made the best. Will I go back, for sure. Hopefully better service. But the food is good and filling. read more

Metro Diner - Meatloaf Plate - American Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

I ordered Belgian waffles and the chicken and biscuit sandwich. Both were good. I wanted to try these all but yes it was a bit filling and I didn't finish. I asked for the waffle to be a little crispy because I like a little crunch in it and they made it perfect! Served with butter and syrup. You can ask for a side of strawberry butter to put on top if you wanna try. If you do, it's a very sweet combo with the syrup FYI...the chicken biscuit sandwich was good too. I asked for a side of their spicy sauce instead of them pouring it over the chicken cuz I was afraid the biscuit would get soggy. Overall it was all good. read more

This diner was an unexpected surprise. I went to get my car service early on a Saturday and wanted to grab some breakfast so of course I did a quick search and saw this place had some pretty good reviews. We arrived around 9:30AM and waited to be seated about 5 minutes before our table was ready. The restaurant was already buzzing with the Saturday morning rush. The waitress came to our table and took our drink orders. She came back twice and there was so many options on the menu I couldn't make up my mind. I finally settled on the Western Omelet, Cheese Grits, and a Biscuit. We waited for about 25 minutes for our food which I thought was a little long for breakfast but they were really busy and I had some time to burn so I wasn't that concerned. The waitress checked in with us and told us it would be ready soon. When the omelet arrived, I thought I had too much in my omelet and wouldn't like it but man was I wrong. The omelet was delicious with nice chunks of ham. The cheese grits had cheese on the top and they were good...but then I realize there was also cheese on the bottom and by stirring them up a bit they were even better. Lastly, take my advice.... get the biscuit. The biscuit was freshly made and falling apart. I have seriously been craving this buttery, soft yet crunchy biscuit since I first taste it. I placed jelly on the biscuit and it was even better. I honestly could have just ordered a biscuit and been happy. As we were leaving there were a lot more people waiting so I could tell we got there at a good time. If you are going on a Saturday morning perhaps get there before 10AM. I know they are building another location a little closer to me so I definitely will be visiting again.....for the biscuits of course. read more

So glad that Metro Diner opened up this second location in Charlotte. It's much closer to us than the one in Pineville and occupies a space that I've always liked. We've visited this Metro Diner several times for breakfast so far since they've opened (and brought several out-of-town guests here as well). Obviously we've loved our breakfasts since we keep coming back. It's nice to have an alternative to Stack's Kitchen in Matthews, which we also love, but is usually difficult to get a table for breakfast on weekends. We've even eaten dinner at Metro Diner once on our most recent visit. During this visit, we came by on a Saturday evening around 7:30 PM. There was a line, so we decided to do some shopping beforehand and come back. We got back around 8:30 and there was no line. However, we noticed on the door that they closed at 9:00 PM. Yikes! Being a diner, I just assumed they were open later, like maybe 11 or 12. We still went in because the place was super crowded, so it's not like we were the only ones there. (Hint: maybe you should stay open later?) We were quickly seated and greeted by our server Taylor. She was super friendly and speedy. My partner ordered the Western omelet (yes, breakfast (and even lunch and dinner) is served during all hours). It was filled (and overflowing) with ingredients. Since I've had their breakfast items several times, I wanted to try something different. I opted for the Bold City Burger -- Provel cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, sausage (yes, both!), fried jalapenos, and garlic aioli. It tastes as good as it sounds. It was truly amazing -- juicy and flavorful. I'd definitely order it again. There are a lot of side options to pick from; I went with the sauteed veggies, which happened to be yellow squash and zucchini that evening. They were a little charred, which is my favorite. Another good choice. I could have eaten even more of them. Since opening, Metro Diner has been a great, new breakfast option for us. Now they've become a dinner option as well. Good food at a reasonable price. Now if they can only stay open a bit longer... read more

Comfort food menu-very hard to find something healthy. I just started a new diet and was limited to a salad or grilled chicken and squash. We went on a week night around 6 and this place was packed! We were told there was a 30-45 minute wait. Lots of people already waiting outside... We were offered the bar for immediate seating so that's what we chose. The restaurant was loud. Especially sitting at the bar since the staff yell back and forth at each other. It was fun to watch them cook however. I got a salad with grilled chicken. Nothing special. All of their salads were typical everyday salads....nothing to return for. My mom got the roast-she said it was very good. Fell apart with a fork. However it was supposed to come with veggies and it looked like she got the bottom of the container. My dad got the chicken pot pie-looked good. He said it was tasty but the biscuit topping was tough. Overall we might come back but not our new go to spot. Wait staff was nice. Looked a little frantic-maybe they are still getting the swing of things? read more

Metro Diner - Fried Chicken & Waffle so crispy - American Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

BOOM! You're gone... Burned food and slopped into packaging. No way this makes it past a set of eyeballs that had any concern for the food quality traded for my money. My wife was sick with COVID & hungry, she wanted breakfast food. Eggs burned brown in a rubber ball and a brick of a burned biscuit to match. Easy to see, should not have been served to anyone. Mediocre food service has consequences. In this case the least of which is a lost customer. Just no excuse for this level of indifference. read more

I have been a loyal supporter of Metro Diner in Raleigh for some time now. I am happy to have one to enjoy in the Charlotte area as well. Our server Taylor was beyond awesome from drinks to check (and beyond when I forgot my box of leftovers)! I love the breakfast offerings so much that I had yet to go beyond that section of the menu. Today, I finally convinced myself to try the other side. Ok, so I didn't completely step away from my fave type of food because I ended up with the breakfast burger. This ain't your typical patty with an egg on it. I was presented with a monster on a bun. The meat was well seasoned and cooked to perfection with a nice char on the outside. It was topped by a slab of cheddar, crispy hash browns, thick cut bacon, and a freshly fried egg. This burger was beautifully made and that 1st bite made me wonder what else I've been missing in this place! I wish I was exaggerating the awesomeness of this burger. My lunch date kept giving me side-eye with all of my exclamations of delight with each taste. I pride myself on trying new things but this may become my first "usual". As good as it was, it was too big for me to finish. The point is, have a burger. Better yet try everything because I've never had a bad bite in this place! Bring a date, the family, and your appetite this is it folks. Service 10/10 Food 10/10 read more

Metro Diner - Breakfast burger. Best I've ever had! - American Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

So I couldn't give a zero since yelp only allows you to give one star as a minimum so I guess we'll start there. I've Been wanting to come to Metro diner for some time due to the fairly good ratings that the establishment has. I was with youngest son and we came in on a Saturday about lunchtime and of course we knew we'd have to wait but we were lucky enough to sit at the bar and actually watch the cooks create the meals. It's a novel concept I certainly like it however you need to make sure that you're actually following food safety rules. We were greeted by a great waiter who is promptly taking our order and then we sat and watch the kitchen staff it took about 15 minutes to maybe 20 minutes to get actually get our meal. During that time I didnt witness any kitchen staff change their gloves after touching other areas or their clothing or face area. This is called cross contamination and for those of you not in the food service business that's a big no-no. I watched a who I can only believe was a kitchen manager take the trash out and then turn around to come back only to begin and prep food again without changing his gloves. Now I have no idea that he didn't change his gloves but he was only gone for a few seconds and the same gloves appeared to be on that he had before so I have to assume the gloves weren't changed. Two other preppers I witnessed wipe things off on their clothes and then continue to touch food again, it's a big no-no they should've change your gloves. I ordered the Swiss burger and it sat underneath the lamp for probably 7 to 8 minutes before it was served to me the reason I know this was because I was sitting next to the serving area. The bun was left on and by the time the food got to me the meat of the burger was cold. I explained a manager that I wasn't interested in eating it because the meat was cold, she then explained to me that they never placed a bun on top of the food it should've been left to the side. That wasn't the issue the issue was the meat was cold the lettuce was wet she just didn't listen to me. She had already came to the conclusion that the bun was the issues. My son ordered grilled cheese with some fries, fries were way too salty almost over salty and not edible so we didn't finish that meal. In the end the manager told me that she was buying our lunch, I knew I wasn't paying for something I sent back and didn't eat. It was a nice gesture however I think she thought I was paying for it and was doing me a favor. Not sure if I miss understood her or she me. I explain to her that she just needed to take my meal off and I would continue to pay for my sons meal but explained that she Wanted is to come back so we'd have a better experience next time. Experience wasn't bad it was the food that was bad therefore I will not under any circumstances come back to that establishment again read more

Found this place by accident and decided to give it a try. Place was clean and we were seated quickly. Service was great, Brittany was very attentive and never late on refills or checking on us. Food was OK. We ordered the loaded cheese fries (they were out of onion rings), Philly cheesesteak, clam chowder and chicken and waffles. The loaded cheese fries and Philly cheesesteak were great, best things we had there. Their ranch dressing is classic. The clam chowder is tomato based which was like having chili instead of clam chowder. The chicken was dry and cold, certainly not cooked to order. Waffle was good (hard to mess that up) and they serve it with a strawberry butter, which was OK. Overall it was ok. Not sure if we'll be giving this one another try. read more

John B - what a nice guy. Great food, great customer service. First time in and will be back again.

Enjoyed this restaurant. We were seated promptly. Covid protocols were in place, no loud music playing. Our waitress, Brittany, was very kind and professional- checking on us about twice during our meal. Diner had an air of an "old-time" diner- quiet with people talking quietly, employees busy doing their jobs. Hubs had breakfast- patty sausage, grits, coffee, biscuit, eggs scrambled just as ordered. I had the salad with fried chicken tenders, ranch dressing, lemon water. Hubs ate all of his breakfast- no complaints voiced. My salad was fresh, chicken tenders were cut up and tender- fried perfectly and no gristle! They were brought to the table "on the side" as requested. The restaurant appeared clean and we felt welcome - some employees even told us "good- by" with sweet smiles as we were leaving- made us feel like we were leaving mom's house. The only concern was the sanitation grade- 95.5- getting pretty low for us- Our lowest acceptable grade is 95- and only then if everything looks clean and covid protocols are being followed. But the grade was posted in plain sight- a real plus- at least it didn't look like effort had been made to hide it! So all was almost perfect- just work on the sanitation grade, guys! ( sorry- no pics- we were busy enjoying our meals and the pleasant atmosphere). read more

4 STARS ALL FOR THAT BIG FISH SANDWICH! I got the fried fish sandwich for brunch and it was EVERYTHING! The fish was very fresh. I think that's probably all I would order from here on.

They could also use a little more friendly waitresses, the hostess and managers were the only happy faces. read more

This place is awesome!!My friend and I went here today for brunch/lunch and was very pleased overall. Food:A wide variety of choices and more than enough portion sizes.We ordered the Shrimp & Grits which was really good.We also ordered a side of hashbrowns and cornbeef hash.The cornbeef was really unique to me.It consisted of shaved/shredded cornbeef and potatoes. Service:From the host all the way to the cook behind the counter,the customer service is superb.By name,I interacted with Sherry and Julie and they were both on top of it.What stood out to me the most was that despite how busy the cooks were ALL of them seemed to enjoy their roles.They interacted well together,communicated effectively,and were all patient with one another.I kept telling myself there was no way I could do what they were doing without messing up an order somewhere along the line but they presented to be a cohesive team. Prices:Appropriately priced for portions and quality of food Setting:Not that big but big enough for a diner;there is outside seating There are so many things I want to try on the menu so I'll be back again soon.Thank you Metro Diner for being a great addition to the area! read more

The food is nothing special. It comes out warm but just not flavorful. I did not love the breakfast and my kids thought the pancakes were hard. Someone used my card info from there too. I used my card only there and the next day my account was flagged for fraud with someone trying to buy online many purchases. Luckily they didn't go through. It's sad because I just got my new card and only used it there and then I had to close it the next day and get a new one again. read more
