Metro Diner is always great for breakfast. I ordered delivery, and everything was well-prepared. I love the biscuits and gravy; the gravy was in a separate container, which I appreciated so the biscuits don't get mushy. It's a typical diner breakfast but honestly better than most diners I've been to. I always look forward to this when visiting. Comfort food at its finest. read more

I would've given 4 stars, but my experience with the service at dinner time is awful. I think it's because they usually have kids working around that time, because when I come for breakfast, service is a lot better. The food is good and very delicious. My only issue here is the service with the younger staff. I think they need a little more training when it comes to how often they check on customers and the speed of service. It took almost 2 hrs total at dinner and there were only 5 tables occupied. And my server was not waiting on all of the tables yet she did everything very slow which prolonged our time there. read more

Not sure what happened to this place.. they now sell you spoiled chicken.. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles earlier today & the scent of the fried skin smelled like ammonia which is indicative of old stale meat. Old meat can present bacterial infections coupled with food poisoning yet to avoid paying for fresh chicken, they cut corners by distributing expired poultry.. Their chicken is also not fried in its entirety as some parts expose the flour.. read more

I appreciate the fast friendly service. The food is reliable and good. The big dining area feels spacious. I ordered the avocado & bacon bowl, which I've enjoyed many times. It has scrambled eggs over hash browns with cherry tomatoes and avocado slices with hollandaise sauce and several big pieces of bacon on top. It's a good tasty bowl I definitely recommend. read more

Great food for a great price. Mimosas are just over $5, and you can customize juice options- orange pineapple was delicious. Breakfast was very tasty. Outside is dog friendly and covered- there are no fans but its nice when the weather is right. Bf enjoyed the Benedict and pups loved the bacon while I enjoyed the waffle with real maple syrup. read more

Met up with my coworker here for breakfast yesterday morning and it was such a delightful experience. I ordered the bacon avocado scramble bowl which was absolutely delish. She ordered the avocado toast which she enjoyed very much as well. The servers kept the coffee coming and hot! Good portions of food. I highly recommend. read more

I love this place! Great breakfast, lunch and dinner all day long. The service is always amazing. My go to restaurant.

Metro diner feels like your hometown diner. Friendly staff, great food. I must say you have to try their "Chicken and Waffles", it is outstanding. Great tasting Belgian waffle and the fried chicken is the best, super crispy with their own version of sauce, maple syrup with some tobassco. Sweet and hot. Food is great. read more

My husband and I came here for a quiet date night, and it was a disaster. We started with the bacon cheddar ranch fries--they were soggy, old, "end-of-the-bag" bits that weren't fresh at all. It got worse from there. My husband's fish smelled rotten, and my Philly cheesesteak bread was so hard it could have broken my teeth. The most upsetting part was overhearing a staff member in the back using disrespectful language because we complained about the poor food quality. While the manager, Matthew, and our waitress were kind and tried to accommodate us, the kitchen is clearly failing. Even with a nearly empty restaurant, the quality was bottom-tier. To top it off, we were still charged for our drinks after such a repulsive experience. We will never be back. read more

Metro Diner - Proof of service for our terrible experience! - American Near Me - Port Charlotte, Florida

It's pumpkin season and Metro features a variety of fall dishes featuring pumpkin. I ordered the waffle and was not disappointed. The Port Charlotte restaurant is located on Tamiami. The wait staff were super nice and helpfull. Restaurant serves a variety of different food items to satisfy morning, noon and nite. From Chicen pot Pie to BBQ Ribs and all things in between. Ambience is quiet decor standard restaurant booths and tables. Give these folks a try. Prices are modest and they are also Military friendly. read more

Food and service was very good. Dining room was clean and comfortable. We had breakfast for dinner and really enjoyed our meal.

Oh, would I ever come back here. We were in the mood for a burger and that is what we ordered and it was wonderful but while sitting here we so many things we wanted to try, like the chicken parmmmm, cinnamon pancakes, raspberry mist tea. Our server Kirsten was very helpful with our order and kept us informed as to the status of the food. Regular dinner vibe and bathrooms nice and clean. read more

We always have a pretty good meal here. Love the food, it is pretty reliable / made fresh , nice service, relaxed atmosphere . Fries and hash-browns crispy are great . Just wish we could stop with these inflation prices! This place filled up quickly Friday night. Dinner for 2 with tip and tax , $55 read more

I have seen a lot of- reviews but I've been there 3× for breakfast/brunch and the food was great! The waitresses bust their butts, they're friendly and check on you during dining. I will say I went there for dinner 1× I was very disappointed. If you want a great breakfast/ brunch definitely go to the Metro! read more

This is a really great restaurant! I know it's part of a chain-and this location is perfect! It's clean, and has great service-even on a busy day as it was when we were there. Our server helped us with a few things we had questions about, and made us feel welcome.which we appreciated. The food was so good! I didn't get any pictures because we ate it as soon as it was brought to our table! It was hot and perfectly prepared. I'm looking forward to coming here again! I want to bring other people so they can enjoy it too!! read more

Metro Diner - Beautiful interior - American Near Me - Port Charlotte, Florida

We went here recently for dinner. The place is cute and clean. The food and service were just okay. I don't know why people rave about Metro Diner, we must have been there on an off night. They are also hostile towards dogs. I asked about bringing our dog and sitting outside and was sneeringly told "no dogs on their property". I wouldn't even try to go here with a service dog. Frankly, it's not a place I would return to. There's too many great and welcoming restaurants in the area. read more

So, we have seen the Metro Diners in the area as long as we've lived here, but hadn't tried one. I hesitate to say that Bruce and I were feeling under the weather, but we were. He was trying to cheer me up and we were headed for Tokyo Sushi on Cochran (previously reviewed) when we were stunned by a bam! Yes - someone sideswiped us on 41 headed south toward Punta Gorda. What??? Once we were on our way again, Bruce mentioned the meal he always mentions when he is feeling sad, nostalgic, or out of sorts. "Turkey platter." "It says they have turkey platter right on the door of the Metro Diner," I said. "Why don't we try it? Maybe it will be like Norms." Norms was a favorite of ours back in So Cal. These diners compete on quality, service, and price. I hate to mention another diner-name but it's one we don't go to, and I bet you might know what it is. My personal "I don't go to that famous diner" moment was the time my breakfast sausage tasted like Comet. Yum! But that's not Metro Diner. I can give 5-starts to the two dishes pictured: the Friday night fish fry - super crisp, light fish with an ultra-thin Dixie Fry coating, fresh, hot french fries, small tub of cole slaw. Bruce got his turkey platter and he ate it all. This was sort of the prepared turkey - probably the breast that they would cook by itself - with stuffing, mashed potatoes, and brown gravy. Beans on the side. The salad was crisp and better than our usual SW FL diner salads - it had plenty of non-lettuce ingredients and I don't think it was bag salad, either. Serving staff is young, hardworking, and friendly. Metro Diner: you're A-OK! read more

The food and desserts were fantastic. Our group had fried chicken (really good) dinners and Caesar salad both delicious. The service was top notch and coupon available when signing up for texts. The restaurant is casual but has such a wide variety of food for breakfast lunch and dinner! read more

After many visits here I must admit that It is a rare combination of great food, excellent service, and obvious teamwork that keeps this diner at the top of my list. Last night for dinner, my wife and I tried their ribs and chicken and both were great. Our server, Hailey did a remarkable job of keeping our drinks full and following up to make sure we were enjoying our meals. The place is kept sparkling clean and the manager has a team she can be proud of! read more

We decided to give Metro another try after boycotting it for a year. We sat at the counter because it was busy and we just wanted a quick breakfast. There was only 3 available stool as two of them were blocked off due to a big hole cut out of the ceiling. We order Huevos Rancheros to share with a side of hasbrowns. While waiting for our food to arrive, a big cockroach came running in front of us. We move to an open two-top table and the very nice waitress apologized for what just took place. The entire time eating our food was distracted by looking around for critters. The Huevos Rancheros was not good at all, it used to be good long ago, but definitely not good anymore. The hashbrowns were a 10 out of 10, yum. Anyway, they comped our food, but we won't be returning to this establishment. read more

Loved the Metro Diner. My first time here, I even joined online and had a 50 percent off! Came in at noon, the place was packed. I was still seated right away and the hostess promptly brought me a Goose Island IPA and a chilled glass. Super friendly, great diner menu, service was top notch! And they have outdoor seating so are dog friendly! Told the waiter (Gavin) it was my first time here, he recommended the chicken pot pie. It was very good and there was a lot of it! Place looked like it was run like a well oiled machine! read more

Metro Diner - Chicken Pot Pie - American Near Me - Port Charlotte, Florida

Get breakfast! I've been to Metro diner for breakfast, and it was fantastic dinner not so much. I ordered the steak tips dinner, and a Caesar salad to go. I do like the Caesar dressing was on the side, even though it was a little too vinegary still a nice salad The steak tips oh my. I will say that I didn't have high expectations, but I did have better expectations than what I received. You be the judge. I will attach a picture of what I ordered of what I received. The green beans actually were cooked perfectly; the mashed potatoes, OK , steak tips I won't waste my money again. They were tender, but perhaps only because they were cooked so long the gray meat looks worse than it is however, I would have expected a little more gravy, perhaps if only to cover the pallid meat and small portions. Will I return? Yes. Will, I ordered this meal again no Again, stick with breakfast read more

Stopped here for a quick bite as I was on my way to Englewood. Nephews doing in line hockey, needed a quick bite on the way. A Cheeseburger and rings were what I ordered. Service was pretty prompt. I enjoyed the flavor of the burger. Clearly, the meat and the condiments were fresh. Rings were tasty, not overcooked, not over breaded. Just right. Happy with my meal I found out from my nephews that I should've had breakfast there as their breakfast are excellent. Not unhappy with the burger that I had , but now a reason to stop again in the future, and dive into their breakfasts. Place was pretty clean. They move people in and out, I did not use the washroom. Prices were very modest, and happy with that. Definitely would stop again. read more

Good ol' southern comfort food served with a heaping of hospitality! I strongly recommend the fried chicken Benedict. They also have a variety of "brunch style" alcoholic beverages to wash it down with. Thank you Mirtha for making sure everything came out just the way we wanted and for your kindness while taking care of us! read more

This place is amazing real potatoes in the hash browns and cooked To perfection gravy too die for and the breakfast meats l just can't say how good the ham while my life likes limp bacon. Coffee iskept full and hot. The thing my wife likes best about this is that they use whole milk; only place we found ( the rest uses 1%) we asked. Cheep prices ,clean and friendly service read more

I'm a veteran on sunday november 9 I went into the restaurant to order a Togo order it was 9 :15, 20 minutes had passed and I reached out to find out when someone would take my order having been told someone would be there so I waited.when somebody finally took my order it was a employee that apparently that so over worked that she couldn't help me.she was a bigger lady did not catch her but very rude and disrespectful to a veteran that came into the restaurant for the first time, I am sorry that I had to order off the gluten free menu but my wife and I have no choice this was a total set back for us to find a nice restaurant. read more

Went for the first time today and the restaurant was quite busy. What struck me first was that they didn't have enough people to bus tables and we were seated at a table that had a fork, some scrambled eggs and a few French fries on the floor by our table. Upon closer inspection , the entire floor was pretty nasty with old food under the tables and even a filthy cleaning cloth just thrown by the wall. Not very pleasant. I wanted to leave but my husband talked me out of it. Our server Erica was very nice and helpful, but she too was trying to bus tables so it took forever to get the bill. The food was fine. The turkey was moist and tender and the mashed potatoes and gravy were tasty. I didn't care for the cornbread dressing at all. No onion, no celery or sage whatsoever. My husband had chicken pot pie. It had no potatoes in it which I think is essential, but to each his own. The burgers I saw on other plates looked good, but I just don't think I can move beyond the lack of cleanliness. read more

Let me start by saying we come here a lot , because the food is decent for a fair price. But today the service was hurting. Food was coming out of kitchen at a decent pace with five cooks; but there were only two wait staff one busier/ food delivery and a hostess and the place was 3/4 full. We ordered waffle, bacon, blueberry pancakes and sausage. It was 3:30 pm and the pancakes came out hard and under cooked from an over hot grill. Every thing else was fine. read more

Not good. Beer Battered Fish & Chips was the worst I've ever had... NOT beer battered! When we politely brought this to the attention of the management, they offered no alternative, not even a partial comp. I was told that if I ordered another meal, even though I had only eaten 1/2 of one piece of the 3 pieces provided, I would have to pay full price for that as well. Ambiance was fine and the service was nothing special. There might have been a different result if I'd tried a different menu item, but this was the experience I had, so be it. read more

Great food and friendly people. I enjoy going to this restaurant. I went there this past thanksgiving and ordered the turkey dinner, which was delicious. As a gift to myself, I also added a fruit waffle. It was great. I highly recommend this restaurant read more

I experienced the worst experience at Metro diner tonight. I was trying to pay my bill and they ended up calling the police on me. I paid before the police actually arrived as I was not trying to get out of paying. I was just agitated because half the order we ordered we didn't even get. Very poor customer service very poor treatment just for us to pay our bill and leave. I have never had the cops called on me from a restaurant and there was no alcohol involved because we were with our granddaughter on her birthday. Very sad experience. Will not be returning read more

So happy to decide to go here with my wife. We were greeted and served by Gavin who, made us feel very welcome. We ordered the full rack of baby back ribs and it was out of this world.

For sure we're coming back next week. read more
