Went for breakfast. We were seated immediately. Our server was pleasant and attentive. We ordered coffee and OJ. We ordered our food and it came out very quickly. Hubby had the biscuits and gravy with a side of eggs, hash browns and bacon. It said it was delicious and definitely homemade. I had the eggs, hash browns , bacon and white toast. Also very good. We highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Shoutout to our local community heroes! This is my favorite fried chicken place because it's such a juicy inside and flavorful crispy outside! I literally crave it! I have went to several locations of this restaurant chain and the consistency is amazing. Great hard working staff and great food choices!! It no wonder why they have so many locations. I try to get other things when I go, because I know that I have to wait patiently for my chicken... but I mostly know it's worth the wait. I'll doodle on the placemat for a little while and then smile ear to ear when that beautiful plate of chicken comes out!!! Beautiful, crunchy, and piping hot!! Yummmm read more

Wasn't too pleased with our time here most recently, but we have always really liked Metro for the reasonable prices and tasty food. The food was a bit off today, didn't taste fresh or too good. Our service was still quick and the waitress was nice. read more

Unfortunately, this place has really taken a nose dive. The pot pie was incredibly salty as if it came out of a can and had almost zero vegetables in it. When you go to order online, no matter what site is it does not give you a list of options to customize your meal. Upon ordering, I contacted the restaurant to ask for a different cheese in my grits and it came with a different cheese and not my request. I then called the restaurant. the server who answered was uninterested in listening to anything I had to say, and automatically put me on hold to speak to a manager. The unfortunate part is the manager was trying to be helpful, but didn't have an avenue for the public to reach out to upper management to have make a request to have online ordering adjusted or detailed better. It's sad that a scratch made kitchen went to premade food. read more

Metro Diner - Pot Pie - American Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

It is impossible that this restaurant has such a high score. Service was absolutely abysmal. Sitting here alone waiting for almost 40 minutes for a turkey plate, all I heard was other customers angrily arguing with the wait staff. The manager could not have been more rude. I heard the manager tell another customer, go get it yourself. The problem, they were completely monopolized with producing to go orders. Restaurant filled with seated customers with no food and full-time work filling to go. The manager is absolutely incompetent. He was processing DoorDash after doordash and screaming at the serving staff. read more

Stopped by here on Easter Sunday while traveling alone. I knew it was going to be slammed but I got a seat right away at the counter. Despite being in the weeds the whole team was friendly and welcoming - my server was great and the folks working the line (which was fun to watch) were kind enough to say hello to me in the midst of the chaos. I got the Bissell breakfast. A ton of food for the money! The pancakes were a highlight, but all of it was good. Bacon was crispy, eggs were well cooked, hashbrowns were solid. Great spot in St. Augustine. read more

Stopped in on a Tuesday morning for breakfast. I had no wait and was seated immediately. Staff greeted me at the door and said goodbye when I left. Had the meat lovers omelet, English muffin, cheesy grits, and coffee. Everything was very good. I'd say this was a pretty basic breakfast meal and it all was prepared to expectation. Nothing fancy. This is a small Metro Dinner compared to some others in the North Florida area. It was clean and neat inside. The service was good. Ambiance was typical of a diner, nothing fancy. For what I had, they delivered and so this review is a five star. read more

We had a large party. After a short wait, we were seated. Even though the place was packed, our food came out pretty quickly. Everything was good including the gluten free options that 2 people in our party chose. Our waitress was great. I would definitely go back. read more

There's a certain energy that emits from Metro's locations, which definitely varies from place to place, but this one was fun. The food always comes out fresh and crispy. Service here is what you'd typically expect. There was a weird moment while eating our grits that it felt (and sounded) like we ate sand. Bring a jacket, this is like Gaylord Palm's ICE Experience. read more

Great find. Huge portions, great service, very reasonably priced, large menu. Ask for Jen,

This was our first time at Metro Diner and it was fantastic! We both ordered eggs Benedict mine was traditional and my husband's had fried chicken. It was delicious and a good portion. The service was outstanding which is what probably makes us want to continue to return. Lexi was our server and she was absolutely excellent, from taking our order, refilling drinks, checking in on us and to checking us out with our bill. If you haven't been here, you should definitely check it out. There's plenty of seating and if there is a wait it isn't too long but worth the wait. read more

Metro Diner is my go to for comfort food. We are doing a close-to-home vacation and I had had a rough morning and by lunch I wanted something that I knew wouldn't upset my tummy. I was thinking meat and potatoes- we had spotted Metro on our way into town the night before and that's what I sweetly asked John for (he couldn't resist). The dining room is a good size, we were sat right away and our drink orders taken right away. John and I decided to split their chicken pot pie- I mean, tell me that's not comfort food! He also ordered a cup of chicken noodle soup (again with something easy) and I asked for a biscuit on the side. I will admit- biscuits across this local chain aren't always top notch, it really depends on who is making them, this day- they were perfect! The chicken pot pie came out bubbling hot! We broke holes int he biscuit topping to let it vent and slowly blew on our spoonfuls while we dug in. It was so yummy. Carrots, peas, celery, chicken in a creamy base with a buttery biscuit topping. YUM! And our soup was also wonderful! I think our server's name was Erica- and she was fantastic. Cheerful, checked on us numerous times, made sure our drinks were full & got us some to go drinks too. Thank you Metro Diner for being a constant for my comfort foodie needs! read more

Not great, not awful. Pretty mediocre food, but service was top notch. If you are from NY you'll find the menu pretty skimpy.

How about ordering a simple cheese omelette served without cheese. Ice cold toast without butter. Our meal was done before they brought a real cheese omelette served with cold toast to one in our party Reason to visit again: NONE. So many other good breakfast spots in St Augustine. Don't forget to miss this one. read more

Late breakfast at Metro Diner. Plenty of parking and lots of tables. I had three eggs with hash Browns two sausage patties and rye toast. Everything was good- potatoes could have been hotter. Wife had a western omelette which she enjoyed. Yep her hash Browns could have been hotter. Waitress Coriska was great- took good care of us. So it's a 5. But some room for some improvements. With tip $38. read more

Excellent everything was exactly what anyone expects and above and beyond that! Great service great food great value!!! A+¥¥

I got the chicken pot pie and the inside ingredients were good, but the biscuit was terrible. It was not flakey or fluffy. It was a dense biscuit without much flavor. It didn't even cover the whole chicken pot pie. Our service left some to be desired also. A person at my table ordered a coke and it came as a diet. We had to ask for refills on our drinks / water. One person asked for catsup and mayo and it was never brought to them. I'm from Jacksonville and won't be going there again. The waitress made sure to give us a each bs card-type thing that explained how we could give a good review, so she would get a gift card. read more

I love the metro diner do u wanta know why . Their food is exciting to me . They have such a wide variety and exciting foods . I love fruits on top of waffles and just beautiful looking food and it all taste good too read more

We went to Metro Diner in Palm Coast for dinner last night. I have had good experiences in the past and always good in Jacksonville, but last night was horrible!!! I ordered the Bissell breakfast with wheat toast and home fries. I was brought rye toast and hash browns instead. I asked for those to be replaced with what I had actually ordered. I was brought rye toast for a second time and the home fries. Also, pancakes were not fully cooked. The restaurant did not appear to be clean and smelled sour and the service was terrible. read more

We arrived at 11 AM on a Monday. Place was packed with 2 (larger) parties waiting. As only 2 people, we were seated immediately. Service was quick and correct. My husband had the classic burger with spicy fries. Burger was cooked perfectly - slightly pink, not rare and not well done. He said "delicious!" And the spicy fries were not too spicy. I ordered the philly cheese steak. First bite was a wonderful combination of onion, peppers and beef. The bread (roll) was soft and tasty. I asked for non-spicy fries and that's exactly what i was served. Hot to the center, well cooked and golden brown. I couldnt be happier. We noticed (about 1/2 way thru) the crowd was gone and there were a few empty tables. When we left there were groups waiting to be seated and people coming in. They advertised a senior special...daily... 3 to 5. Smaller portions and less expensive. We certainly will be back. read more

Always a blast having Metro Diner for brunch! This is my favorite brunch spot to go with my husband, family or friends! I always get my go to meal the Brissell breakfast which allows you to pick your choice of eggs, has brown or grits, any meat (bacon, sausage link, sausage patty or Canadian ham) and a side of 2 pancakes. Omg it and understatement and here's proof that I clean my plate. My entire family cleaned their plate as well! I absolute love metro diner and recommend it over and over again to friends and family. Service was swift and the food was prepared to order very quickly. Our female server named Danny was wonderful, attentive and always filling out coffee cups. Thank you for a delicious breakfast experience! read more

We got to the Metro Diner yesterday at about 4:00pm, and hour before they closed. We were the only customers there. I ordered the Metro club sandwich and my husband ordered fish and chips. The whole time we were there they kept breaking down for the day. While waiting for our food, I could smell bread burning. Needless to say, I was disappointed when our food was brought to our table and the bread on my sandwich was burnt. A club sandwich should have lightly toasted bread. This sandwich was nearly inedible. I had to remove most of the bread and hold the filling with my fingers. Very messy to say the least. When I mentioned the burnt bread to our server, her only comment was, oh well. More than likely this will be our last time visiting this Metro Diner location. read more

We moved to Florida from Philly and absolutely loved that St Augustine had a location. As always they delivered in quality of service, food, and inviting ambiance. Dani our server is fantastic! Make sure you get the cinnamon roll pancakes. LOVE THIS PLACE read more

I've been to a few different locations, and this one is excellent! The wait was oddly long for a Friday morning, but happily worth the wait. The menu is far smaller than I remember. The selections were really great though. My husband got the biscuits and gravy, which was tasty. My daughter's chicken for her chicken and waffles everyone found it to be excellent! I greatly enjoyed my specialty item - the country Benedict. Delicious! read more

Was able to accommodate our large group for breakfast. Quick service and food was great

Awesome breakfast menu. Food is hot and yummy. I eat too much every time. My husband and I love it. Love the variety.

This was by far the best experience in St. Augustine that I've had so far on my trip. We made a last minute decision to go out for dinner and the closest place open to our hotel was here. It was 710 in the evening and I was worried with them closing at 8 we wouldn't get the greatest food or service, I felt a little of a bother coming so late.... That wasn't the case at all. We were sat immediately and our waitress was Erica. She greeted us from a couple tables down and said she'd be right with us. She very very attentive, sweet and humorous. She provided the best service I've had anywhere in a long time. I ordered the chicken and waffles and got the spicy syrup. After a couple minutes a guy came from the kitchen letting us know it would be a few minutes on the chicken. He made it seem like it would be an issue with us, and offered something while we wait. The service was so fast and I expected it to take longer than the time he mentioned anyways. When I got the food it was plentiful and delicious. I started digging into it when they apologized I didn't get my thigh piece, which I hadn't even noticed or worried about. The food was delicious, hot, and well seasoned. I left stuffed. Again, this was the best experience I've had in St. Augustine. The service was EXCELLENT. The food was EXCELLENT. Everything here was EXCELLENT. Sorry for coming in late and being second to last to leave, thank you for still providing the same excellent service and food I assume you did from start to finish. You guys made our night and hope we could make up for it. read more

Perhaps in the rush of the restaurant off Rt 210 and St. Johns Pkwy, they should have been more careful about cleanliness. My wife got severe diarrhea after eating there today. Please wash and cook the tomatoes in the avocado scramble! This ruined what could have been a nice experience. read more

You shouldn't get attitude from the server when you call in to order a 4 ingredient item. Eggs, bacon, hash browns, and cheese in a bowl. She was too dense to not understand I didn't want a meat lovers bowl, then charged me for it, upcharged me for the bacon and didn't even get the order correct. Soaked the entire thing in hollandaise sauce, ruined the order and my appetite. Total rip off, it's more of a crime that I didn't just leave it there. I actually paid 13+ dollars for a nasty attitude, a ruined order, and wasted time. It'll be a while before I go back or recommend that trash dump to anybody. The bathrooms also looked like they belonged in a busted up 7/11. Awful establishment, management needs to be revised and the owner needs to pay better wages to attract mature adults. read more

Great food and service. First time we've eaten here and everything was great! Will be back for sure. (Had grilled cheese with ham and tomato and it was excellent/seemed especially "light" for grilled cheese. Chicken noodle soup was very tasty.) read more

Great old school diner ambiance. Service was quick. The "champagne flight" was unusual and I wasn't good for much of anything after I drink all four! This is the second time however, that I ordered the fried chicken. Both times they were badly overcooked and salty. However the server was quick to apologize and offer an alternative. Nothing bad to say about the biscuit and mashed potatoes and gravy Sometimes it is better if the service is better than the food!. Definitely on my "be back" list. If anyone at Metro reads this, work a little harder on the chicken! read more

This was a delicious place to eat lunch. I had the large salad with fried, crispy chicken strips on it, tossed with the honey hot sauce. It was the perfect balance of heat and sweet on top of a delicious salad with wrench dressing. I sat at the bar and was able to watch the cooks, do their magic. It was relatively slow, but still very fun. read more

Came here with my family while on vacation. The food was good and the service was amazing. Their waffles and fried chicken were delicious. My wife addressed the biscuits and gravy which also enjoyed. Overall his place had good service and great food. I highly recommended this spot for a good breakfast that won't break your wallet. read more

Location is somewhat left to be desired by customers but everything else is pretty good at the Metro Diner. Went in for brunch coming into town and got the biscuits and gravy with eggs and hash browns. The sausage gravy was pretty good! The shoestring potatoes were a little too greasy to my liking. Paid about $12 for lunch, steal! The waitresses are all real friendly like a diner should be. Would go back for a regular lunch. read more
