Great old school diner. Breakfast was awesome and huge. I enjoyed it very much. It was busy on a Saturday morning around 9 ish but we grabbed seats at the counter and we were eating biscuits and gravy in no time. Must visit in Murfreesboro. read more

Typical diner food and the cost is appropriate. There aren't many diners in this area, so this place is ALWAYS on a wait, but worth it. The corned beef hash is definitely worth the wait. read more

One of the best restaurants in the 'boro. Excellent food: huevos rancheros, fried chicken and beef tips are a 10 out of 10 and one of the greatest Bloody Mary's ever. Five stars. read more

This place was very good. I really thought it was going to be much different than I originally expected. I thought it was going to be like a cracker barrell. I ended up ordering chicken parmesan which ended up being a lot of food and very good. My wife, child, and mom enjoyed their food as well. Full bar was unexpected which was also pretty cool. read more

Food is ok , nothing to rave about, servers are not the best, to may kids that lack experience in serving,

I came in ask tavle for one. Lady said no wait at the cooks counter and bar. Only space was cook area so i went. After well over 10 minutes i was never even told hi or we will be right with you. I went to hostess and let them know and all i got was sorry. Not we can get someone immediately or anything. Obviously i walked out. Ive eaten here before amd the food is not bad not superb but is is worth eating provided you get service. With service getting worse over the past years its hard for me to be surprised at the results today. read more

Worth the wait. Sunday afternoon going to a fairly new and hopping restaurant could be a menu for disaster. We were pleasantly surprise. 35 minute wait for a party of 4 on a Sunday handling the church crowd is very acceptable. I had the Metro 1/2 # burger with onion rings. One of the best burgers I've had as they ask how you want it cooked. Came out perfectly medium. Onion rings were a little greasy, not the Same as Sonic's, but good. Wife had the Hot turkey dinner plate. Real thick slices of breast meat, real mashed potatoes with gravy, zucchini, yellow squash and onions, cranberry sauce and baguette. I got to try some of this, awesome. Only thing missing was cornbread dressing. I'll be back to check out some more menus favorites and I'm picky. read more

what a surprise we stopped by on Saturday - Jalen was our waiter great customer service and a good smile. He walked us through the menus and let me tell you it is extensive and very good........My husband had the grit cakes with shrimp and i had the fish and chips...........from the atmosphere the service .........this place is amazing .....I love when I don't have to leave the Boro for good food...........this is a good spot ...so lets do our jobs and eat there .........we need more places like this read more

Save your money and go somewhere else. Slow service, most servers seem confused and the food is mediocre. I was expecting to be wowed with the food but the only thing good about it was the smell of it when you walk in. read more

Reposting because apparently my review was removed even though I have them three chances of eating there, service was terrible all three trips food was sub par not sure why my review has been removed read more

The service was above and beyond! Michael was as professional as servers get! The food was absolutlely delicious and the latté was smooth and creamy! I highly recommend this place! read more

I have reviewed so many bad places to eat, but this is NOT ONE OF THEM ! The service is great, the wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly, I ordered the meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravy, it came HOT and had lots of flavor. the coffee is very good. I would recommend the Metro to the POTUS, its that good. The awful Waffle needs to learn a lesson read more

Food was fantastic! The nacho appetizer is huge! Service was great. The only downfall is they were out of strawberry milkshakes.

Ok to start I'm not saying I will not eat here again but I will say I expect more the next time around. The food was great tasting even though I had to send my chicken back 2 times because it was undercooked. The first time it was sent back the cook took offense to it being sent back before he even saw the extremely pink chicken. But afterwards the chicken and waffles were great. The service was ok at best and my waitress just seemed as if she had better things to do than to wait on me. I gave this a 3 star for the taste of my food but if not for that this would be a 1 star. I will do another follow up review on this place the next time I decide to visit but that will be a while from now. Thanks for reading. Chef Tony The manager was very concerned about my experience and he did take care of the bill so I will definitely be back soon. read more

We got seat quickly, but we had quit a long wait on our food. The dining room was cold. When our food finally arrived one of our fish dinners was missing we had to wait in it to be prepared. The waitress did apologize, it wasn't her fault. I don't think I will be returning anytime soon. Maybe next time read more

My 3rd time eating at Metro Diner. I brought my out of town family to eat. The waitress was nice. She did not know answers to questions I asked her about food on the menu. A regular cup of coffee (with no flavor) cost $3.29. That's ridiculous! Wasn't happy at all with the food. We all ordered chicken. Chicken was hard. Either overcooked or old. My daughter's mashed potatoes were cold. I bragged about this place just to be terribly disappointed because the first 2 times I ate here, the food and the service was really good. I guess today was a miss day! The cook had hair plats hanging with no net and no gloves on hands. The employees were very unprofessional. They were all talking to each other and talking very loud to each other across the restaurant, as if no customers were there. It was embarrassing for me to brag about the food, pay almost $70 for 3 plates of chicken and my daughter ended up leaving half her plate of food there because she did not enjoy it. She could not eat it. My other daughter and I packed up our leftovers. When we got home, I steamed our leftover chicken in a skillet with water, made gravy and tolerated it for what we paid for it. Do Better Metro Diner! Be more professional and do not serve your customers hard-crusted chicken left-over chicken, obviously cooked the day before! Bad business!! read more

This was our first time going to the diner and it was super busy, so we were excited to see what all the excitement was about. The service was sub-par. We had to ask for menus, went to order but their ipad died, and I asked for the coffee of the day and the server said, "look on the board, I got here at 6:30AM and only put one eye contact in." My husband got the chicken and waffles, which were great. I, however, got an omelet and half way through found a hair cooked into the omelet and hashbrowns. The server did not apologize, and it took the manager 10 minutes to come over to fix the situation. There will not be a next time for us! read more

I will start by saying I really like this place but the service I had today made me not want to ever come again. I ordered the pot roast, when it came out it was full of fat and the meat was hard to cut so I sent it back and just ordered soup and a grilled cheese. By this time my husband was finished with his food and just waiting on me to get mine. I waited 20 minutes for my soup and grilled cheese when it came out to me it was cold! Needless to say I was not very happy. I just ask for a to go box and left my husband to pay. I also want to add I believe it was a manager that bought my soup and sandwich out to me but instead of asking what was wrong with the pot roast he gave me my food and stated he was surprised I didn't like it, it's one of their more popular dishes. Note that I was also mad because I saw my soup and sandwich sitting on the counter for several minutes (at least 10 when I noticed it) before anyone picked it up to bring to me. Both waitress and manager had to sense my frustration even though I didn't verbalize, I clearly was not happy. Horrible service from both manager and waitress, I will not be coming here again. read more

WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE!! I took some friends from out of town to give this diner a 2nd chance. What a mistake that was. The waitress Shelbee drop all the cups of water on top of my friend. The worst thing was that she did not even apologize for dropping the cups on her just said " I've been a waitress for 10 years and have learned that when things fall just to let it fall not even to try to catch it." Someone else was also helping her clean up the mess that she did and instead of apologizing they were just giggling and no one not even the manager no one came out to apologize to my friend for getting soaked with this water. The waitress look like she was not fit to be working. Things got worse after that when the food came out we did not have any utensils we had to wait to get some. My friend ordered a sandwich that had nothing no mayonnaise no mustard nothing dry sandwich it was horrible. We don't like to complain 1st thing they think is you want something for free which we don't. Will never recommend or be back to this place overrated. read more

Metro Diner - Fried breaded steak with mash potatoes - Diners Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

See all

A very nice restaurant with good food and big portions. We were seated promptly and food was delicious and plenty of it . My wife had the shrimp and grits and I had the bbq Mac and cheese . We will be going back read more

The cups are dirty the meatloaf sucks. Ohhh And the bartender is lost. I do not recommend this place.

We went on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. It was crowded but we were still seated right away. Quick service. Food was good. Atmosphere was modern but retro. We ordered the turkey plate and the pot roast. Both were very tasty and plentiful. Overall well done read more

Metro Diner is consistently excellent. If you're a breakfast fan / snob, you'll be very pleased. Their hash browns are legitimate, house made, REAL hash browns- infinitely better than IHOP or Waffle House. Bacon is always hot and fresh. Eggs are always hot and fresh. Buttermilk pancakes are Good / not great - it's the batter - there's better out there. Coffee is good / not great. Service is consistently good for a place that is usually crowded. Portions are crazy big. A definite repeat. read more

Ate late lunch today--Reuben, Grilled Cheese, Cheese Grits, Side Salad, Latte. Excellent service! Temperatures of our food items were perfect! Grilled items were nice and crisp, food was so tasty and well-prepared! Restaurant was quite busy but we were seated quickly and our server was quick to get our drinks and tell us about specials. Order was taken in a timely fashion and food came out promptly. Chatted up the owner--nice guy. Definitely recommend! read more

So good! Never have had a bad meal here! I've had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there. The food is always consistently good, and the service is great as well. read more

Delicious chicken & waffles. Strawberry butter is the best.....small and cozy atmosphere.....

This was our first time eating here. It took a little time before our waitress came over to greet us, but when she did she was great. The food was good, and the portions are huge. Will be returning whenever we're in Murfreesboro. read more

Best chicken & waffles ever! Everything we had was excellent, our waitress was sweet and helpful as well. One of my new favorites in Murfreesboro. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! Long lines marginal food, Terrible service. Rude staff. Food is marginal at best. Used their call ahead wait list for their website. Received confirmation text. When we arrived we received a smile and a nod. And an excuse of "it isn't working on our end so get in the line" Talked to manager, showed him text receipt. And he preceded to tell me: "I can't help you. Its above my paygrade". Will never eat here again. Recommend you don't either. read more

Great service. Make sure you're hungry because the portions are large. I took my nephews there and they loved it, I had the beef tips. I have gone back several times. They are always consistent. read more

Food is uneven; good with regular items but long wait for less ordered dishes. Lack of management presence on floor during rush.

The food is good but the mangers and servers all have an Attitude my friend got a job up there they promised her 40 hours and they're only giving her 12 a week .They want her to come in for three hours a night when it cost her more to get there and home than she's going to make . Really upsets me when someone want to try to work and do the right thing and they do this to them read more

So good!! A lot of food for a cheap price. This place is a good brunch spot for sure or a family breakfast spot!

Update... I've been back to Metro Dinner several more times and I didn't just 'get lucky' the 1st time. I have a Wonderful Experience Everytime I Go! For my Adult Children and I, this is 'Our Place' and we still always sit at the bar. We even have nicknames LOL read more

What a treat! Fantastic atmosphere...fantastic service. Micah treated us as if we were his own family! Would definitely recommend!

Cute place, nice menu and large portions. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely go back.
