We stopped here on our way back from Williamsburg to NC on Memorial Day weekend. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, particularly checking items for my son's food allergies (they have gluten-free buns). Their fish & chips were tasty and fried well. Coleslaw was fresh and delicious. Breakfast dish's turkey sausage was great, too. We'll be back on our next trip up this way. :) read more

Stopped by Metro Diner on our way back from OBX. Waited awhile to be served on a Sunday morning, but the fried chicken Benedict & chicken + waffles more than made up for the wait! The breakfast potatoes were very tasty too! Strawberry whipped cream on the waffles really kicked the fried chicken + waffles up a notch! read more

Went out here for breakfast to try something new as we had never been here. I'll be honest, we were reluctant to go b/c a friend of mine had an extremely negative experience here years ago. I'm sure things have changed since their experience but it's surprising how one word of mouth experience can limit your options. But yes, we go out to breakfast - a lot. And we've been to just about every breakfast spot in the area and wanted something different. Coming here was a pleasant experience as we just happened to beat the other 'big' party. We were able to walk in and only wait about 10 minutes before we sat down. The place was PACKED! Like seriously difficult to navigate the area packed. I legit don't know how the servers navigate this area. It's quite a bit to take on with moving food around too. I will say that our server was a bit harsh at first but she warmed up quickly. I'm sure with all the hustle and bustle, it's a lot for them to process. When our food came in, I will say that it's definitely a solid 4. Not anything I would say would blow your mind, but definitely good. Overall, I would gladly come back as we had a pleasant enough experience to add this to our list of places to go. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 4 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 4 Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: maybe the patio? read more

Wonderful service and food. Went there with my family. Something for everyone. Great burgers, chicken and anything else you want.

I wish they were here in Md. I sure miss their food and I was only in that area a few days. The food and staff was fantastic.

Ordered fish and chips today. Taste was not good. Very thin fish portion and definitely not beer batter fried. Questioned manager who never returned . Last visit read more

We'd enjoyed lunches and dinners at Metro Diner but this was our first breakfast experience and it was a great one! My wife and I enjoyed the breakfast even more than the lunch and dinners we've had. The service is always good here, the servers are friendly, smiling and are always helpful, even more so when my 84 y.o. Mom visits. My Huevos Rancheros were wonderful and my wife really enjoyed her San Francisco Benedict. We are foodies and are not easy to impress but both meals were excellent. I added a single pan cake and it was light, fluffy and exceeded expectations. I'd definitely recommend Metro Diner for breakfast! read more

My aunt and I went there for my birthday. The atmosphere was really nice and we were greeted by the staff. I was wished a happy birthday. Brittney provided us with excellent service. The food was delicious and we plan to go back again. I highly recommend Metro Dinner great food at a great price. Again a special thanks to Brittney for wonderful service. read more

I live about three miles from here and ordered delivery. Ok, I cannot express enough how amazing everything was as far as quality is concerned. Everything was piping hot and looked exactly like it was served on a. Table at the diner. No soggy breads from excessive to go container steam is a big win in my book on my mid-well burger. The beef pot pie and the chicken pot pie were crusty and delicious. The mash had a bit of a Texas flavor in the gravy. The food itself is definitely an elevated version of diner food while still feeling warm and comfy like a late night road trip read more

The food was delicious, and hot. We didn't wait very long to be seated and our food was even faster. Kadijah was excellent, very patient and attentive. It looked like they had all hands on deck for Veterans Day and the place was very well managed. We will definitely visit again. read more

First time going here and let me tell ya, the vibe was amazing! Kristie took our order and about ten minutes later she had returned with the food! The pancakes were delicious, the eggs were amazing, the bacon and the hash browns sealed it for me! I can't wait to come back again. read more

Me and my family went to metro diner on a whim because another restaurant was too packed and it was the best decision. Our server was absolutely amazing, our food and drinks came out quickly. The food was absolutely delicious. I got the bbq bacon burger and it was so juicy and flavorful. The restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere with 80's music playing. It wasn't super packed and we were seated very fast. It was overall an amazing experience! Loved everything about it read more

i went mid day with a large party, my server emily was the sweetest. the food was delicious and came correct! 10/10

Ordered take out for lunch - chicken tenders and home fries. The food was ready exactly when it said it should be and I was greeted immediately upon arrival. Friendly faces & great food! read more

The kitchen staff is a WELL OILED MACHINE. I sat at the counter and enjoyed breakfast and a show. Really well done. The amount of bacon and potatoes they go through is astounding. The "egg guy" will perfectly poach, scramble, or fry and will toss it himself if it isn't perfect. Loved watching them work. I got the steak and scramble bowl. Very tasty. There's something about food cooked on a griddle that makes it much more honey and tasty. Great portion size. I watched plates go out an there was no way anyone is walking away hungry. Will absolutely go again. read more

Food was delicious and our server was absolutely wonderful! Shout out to server Precious! We will definitely come back!

Our second trip to Metro Diner for breakfast while we're traveling. Even on a Saturday morning, seated within 10 minutes of arrival. The staff works well together to stay organized and food flowing to tables. The food is good, American diner type offerings. Coffee is decent. It's a great place to wake up and get your day off with a solid breakfast. Prices are very reasonable. read more

The teriyaki steak bowl was very tender and flavorful. The Hawaiian pork bowl had a little bit of kick to it and the pineapple flavor combined well with the jalapeños. The burger bowl was my favorite and was very good especially the seasoned fries and the sauce that was on the burger. The pumpkin waffle had a cream cheese drizzle and cinnamon butter that made it super delicious. The seasonal bread pudding was pumpkin, and I would definitely get that again. The service was quick and our server was very attentive. The restaurant inside was very clean and the atmosphere was relaxing. read more

There is always a long wait on Sunday mornings, which is understandable, but for some reason this past Sunday they had an entire row of benches blocked off so there was no room to sit while waiting - not pleasant for my 83-year-old mom. It was really hot outside so waiting out there that was not an option - plus the only benches outside are not shaded. My mom ordered the 3-cheese grilled cheese but with only one type of cheese. You would think they would have substituted the other cheeses with the type she selected, but instead she received 2 slices of cheese on some under-grilled bread. My egg on a croissant sandwich was ok but I'm not sure why it's listed under the lunch section instead of breakfast. We have been there multiple times and have always had a terrible time getting our eggs cooked medium, hence the change to our recent choices. There were plenty of servers but as usual, most of them were standing around the counter instead of cleaning off tables so waiting diners could be seated. At one point we counted 5 empty dirty tables when there was an entire crowd waiting. To top it off, the gift card we used, which had a balance of $26, was declined. The only option we were given was to use another payment method - thank goodness we had it. The manager took our name and number, but we have yet to receive an explanation as to where the money went. read more

I'm new to the area and have visited Metro twice , the food is absolutely delicious they have a wide variety of options . Most of the menu is comfort food , always well seasoned and has great flavor. The service is always friendly and quick , the hosts are on their game . As far as the feel of the restaurant goes it's very comfortable and has a home like ambiance . read more

Sorry, can't recommend a place to eat that you can't actually ever eat at. Every time we go for breakfast there's a RIDICULOUS wait. The food is decent but not worth waiting an hour or two when you just want to get a quick breakfast. No options to reserve a table and and no online waitlist (despite lying and saying they have one). Many other great places around that manage to actually be able to feed their patrons. read more

We have been driving by this place for a few years and decided today to try them out. I am made because I didn't know how good of an experience it was. Just so happen we are off this Veterans Day and just got done doing some yard work. I had the Turkey plate special which included slice roast turkey, mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing, brown gravy and green beans. Also on special today included pecan pie. Everything was delicious and hot. My wife had the Fried Chicken sandwich which also had cheese and thick cut bacon on it. She really enjoyed her meal as well. I know how good a restaurant is when I am already picking what I will get next visit. We are good and full and ready to enjoy the rest of our day. Also because it is Veterans Day I got our meal at half price as well. Really enjoy the staff as well. Very friendly and they don't keep you waiting too long as well. Again I am upset with myself for not coming sooner and if I had one negative thing to say was that it was cold where we sat at. Not a real big thing, but did take away of the overall experience. read more

Not good today...Decided to try the Chicken and Waffles I heard so much about. Big mistake. All I could taste was SALT. It was awful. Decided to bring home to hubby. Even he wouldn't eat it and he eats everything! Big waste of $$ Ended up in the trash. The server was very nice though. read more

As you walk into this busy diner, you're struck by the scent of warm pancakes. It's lovely. The place is well staffed, so you're greeted quickly, and the service continues to be efficient and friendly. The only negative is how loud it is. This is a busy restaurant, and the noise from the kitchen and the patrons, combined with the music, makes conversation tricky, to the extent that I saw servers having trouble hearing customers. I'm not a quiet person, and I eventually just pointed to the menu. It wouldn't hurt to reduce the volume of the music, especially as the place fills up. Over half the plates going past our table had fried chicken in some form. It looked delicious. The next table had a child's order of tenders and fries, and the tenders were large and smelled delicious. The fries were beautiful as well, and looked crisp. Our food came out quickly, and it was as close to the photos from the website as you could ask. It amazes me that such a small, busy kitchen could turn out such consistent results. I got the "huevos rancheros " which are basically breakfast nachos. Delicious breakfast nachos. My eggs were cooked exactly to my preference, over medium. The plate was well balanced, with just the right amount of everything. I wish the chips were a bit smaller, and they were hard to cut into bite size pieces, and the bottom got soggy from the toppings. My husband had a Denver omelette, which was perfect, with lovely, crispy hash browns on the side. We went at 12:30 on a Thursday, and by the time we left, the restaurant was full. Clearly people recognize a good restaurant with an excellent staff. read more

yo, half a chicken + waffles with some of the best seasoning you'll find from any chain restaurant. I don't know exactly who cooked my chicken but they're invited to the BBQ this summer. The eggs benedict stacked on tomatoes & avocado made us happy enough with all that hollandaise but then those hashbrowns stole the show. Plenty of parking, good for kiddos and they give a military discount. Serves all meals 24/7 read more

Ordered takeout last night and it was ready quickly, packaged nicely, and the food was still hot when it got home. The Friday fish dinner was a huge portion and the breading on the fish was light and crispy. Fries and slaw were delicious and the side salad was fresh. Huevos Rancheros appetizer was a big hit as a meal and was also a huge portion. We will remember this for a great take out option! read more

Good food. Fair prices. Service is usually excellent and fairly quick. The omelets are very good. Breakfast is our favorite meal here.

I'm a sucker for diners, and Metro took the cake. There's so many options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the menu. It was a bit overwhelming, but if you want something light but filling, their soup and sandwich combo was delicious. The loaded potato soup was delicious (a bit on the salty side, but I like that) and the sandwich was simple but delicious. Our server, I think her name was Patty or Patricia (I'm so sorry if I'm wrong) was just wonderful. Quick, sweet, just an excellent server. Metro definitely gives military diner vibes. It's proud of its armed forces and even offers discounts. The restaurant is wholesome and family friendly and just provides a good warm feeling overall. I'll be back. read more

Wow, this was my first time at Metro Diner and needles to say, I was not impressed with the lack of service. It was around 8:30am, and the diner wasn't even crowded like they normally are...I ordered a breakfast sandwich and my sister ordered a breakfast sandwich with a side of corn beef hash; do you know it took well over 30 minutes to bring the food out. People who came in long after us were served, and they had a larger group. When the food did come out, it was wrong and had to be sent back. At that point I was irritated and I asked speak to a manager. Karen came over to address the issue and was very apologetic towards the timelines of getting the food out. She expressed that she would address this issue with the staff, and for our inconvenience she would comp our meals. She indicated that it should only take 6-8 minutes to get food out to the customer. (Failed) Well, we received our sandwiches, and they weren't that bad, however, it did take them another 20 minutes to bring out the side of corn beef hash, which was extremely dry. (Failed) I think it's safe to say our first experience was nothing to rave about and more than likely, I will not be dining there again. read more

I recently discovered Metro Diner through a coworker. She hasn't tried it yet, but she said that their food looks appetizing. With that in mind, I was looking forward to my visit to Metro Diner today. I went to the Suffolk location, which is in the Harbour View area. Metro Diner reminds me of Ihop and Egg Bistro. They serve breakfast/lunch menu all day, but they also have a dinner menu as well. A huge part of their menu is their chickens, eggs, and waffles. They also have beef and porks, and some seafood, but I think their chicken is their main staple. We initially ordered the chicken parmigiana and the crab cake benedict, but since we came in an hour before they close we were informed that they ran out of parmigiana so we have to substitute it with pulled pork mac. Our orders were prepped and served really fast, I think we only have to wait about 10 minutes. However when order came in, I noticed that it looks different. There's no crab cake and there's a ham in it so I told our server right away and she apologized for the mixup. She returned I really do not have any complaints about the food. The crab cake is really good especially with the poached eggs. The servings are huge. I was too stuffed that I can't finish my hash browns and the other half of my crab cake. The pulled pork with mac n cheese and waffles may seem weird at first, but together they tasted delicious. Our server was really nice and helpful. She apologized for bringing the wrong food and is knowledgeable about the menu. I just wished she is more attentive when it comes to refills. As for the restaurant, it looks clean and spacious. We will definitely be back to try other stuff from their menu. We really enjoyed our meal and we wanted to try the chicken and waffles for next time. read more

Sausage over done, it was a basic breakfast with no real attention to the customer needs.

First time here and you can't go wrong with $3 mimosas! Had the fried chicken Benedict and it was super yummy. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. They also have a dog friendly patio which is awesome. Yum yum :) read more

I had the fish and chips. The fish is made with catfish and came as 4 pieces, it was quite good. Ordered with fries and cole slaw, and it was almost too much to eat! They have malt vinegar as well, a MUST for any good fish and chips. To the owner - thank you for the update. The waitress told us it was catfish. read more

Walked in around 10am on a Saturday. Nobody was at the desk. She was over talking to another employee. She finally comes over and looks at us and tells us 30min wait. The place was half empty. I asked her why. She said those tables were reserved. Even the back section was empty. We walked out. Never again will we go there. There are a lot other places to eat. We are seniors, clean and respectful. I don't know why she treated us this way. Another couple was sitting on a bench waiting. They left also. read more

Stopped in with my sister for lunch on Mother's Day. It was pretty crowded, and yet we got a seat and was served immediately. Service was friendly. Food was just okay. Diner food. Not awful by any means, but not amazing. No high expectations. I got a salad with chicken fingers and my sister got fish and chips. Good, not great. read more

This place comes with my highest recommendation for anyone staying in the area. It was clean, waitstaff was attentive and friendly, and food was on point. Hands down some of the best Chicken and Waffles I have had. The chicken was hot and crispy right out of the fryer and with such great flavor. Food came out quickly and moderately priced, but worth every penny. Coffee was good too. We'll definitely be back. read more
