    Hot Chocolate:)

    Recently repainted so it's very bright and inviting inside. Fried chicken Benedict is my go-to! seriously crave it at midnight :). The host Chloe has to be mentioned because she is like the brightest friendliest most enthusiastic ball of energy I've ever seen in my entire life... her smile is like fairy dust, it's infectious. Metro diner has a gem with her! Service overall is fast. And the food is very quick to come up as well.

    Loaded Bloody Mary.

    I had fried chicken Benedict with cheese grits. Their cheese grits are literally the BEST. Rachel was my server. Best bubbly girl ever. She made me one of the best bloody Mary's I've ever had at metro. The ambiance is always great I just came to get some work done and have a snack.

    Chicken tender benedict and HASHBROWNS with all the fixings

    Amazing eggs Benedict. I got the fried chicken one, hollandaise was very creamy. I got hashbrowns on the side with all the fixings , I did not know what all the fixings were before ordering but it is definetly worth the price! Service was very nice.

    Eggs Benedict with avocado tomato and ham and grits

    April 16 2023: Something happened after we thought we CLOSED the books on the breakfast round up??? We did not agree on the top 3 yet and we had to stop for breakfast after 4 hours of church service running the Tech & Sound at 2 services (we volunteer and were STARVING) . It was after 12 BUT the Metro Diner does breakfast all day......sooooo in we went. IF case you don't see this elsewhere we have done a round up of breakfast spots in the Sarasota, Vamo, Osprey, Venice, Nokomis area. Here is the list from the last 1.5 years. (I have the extra 15 pounds and 185 CAC (CT calcium) score to show for it. :-( The review is down below ........ after the list. The Breakfast Cottage Eggstraordinary Café BLVD Café Max's Table Willow's Café Toasted Mango Café Anita's Restaurant Blu Island Bistro Word of Mouth The Breakfast House Sun Garden Café Sunnyside Café Rosemary & Thyme Millie's Restaurant The Reserve Retreat Café Evergreen Another Broken Egg Café Green Zebra x First Watch Station 400 Fresh Start Yoders Restaurant & Market Metro Diner The Review: _____________________________________ The place was very busy @ lunchtime. Clean and great seats. Service was awesome by Hunter who had waters and coffees at the ready and always topped up. I got the traditional eggs benedict as I have at all the above.... ham, hollandaise, poached eggs, and potatoes. My eggs were a little white runny but the yokes nice. The ham was not great as a roll or some other processed disk-like product with a hard edge/skin. The muffin a bit mushy and could have been more firmly toasted and crunchy as the eggs being a bit "wet" yielded a soggy bottom. The hash brown potatoes were exactly that - brown and a bit overdone and oily/greasy/crunchy. The hollandaise quantity was perfect for me and not overly saucy. It had a great flavor and not too overpowering. 6/10 My wife had the eggs Benedict with avocado, tomato, & ham/CDN bacon. She also dislike the ham/bacon product. Her eggs were a little yoke firm so possibly some better control or monitoring here??? The muffin was also a soft lightly or not toasted affair but overall she said it was good. The grits we just okay, a little plain and flavorless and watery. She asked for a little more hollandaise sauce as hers were a little sparse. 7/10 I might give a few 'allowance' points since it was straight up mid day (actually after 12 pm) and these might have been the first poached eggs done in a few hours so maybe not the breakfast cook/chef or even assembly line process. But we have to call it like we get it!! Up against the other competition both good and bad this was an okay and average showing. NOT a bad thing because the competition is fierce and its more about who makes the least mistakes!!! Great service! Great location and parking, clean dining area and facilities and the kitchen looked immaculate/sanitary while in HEAVY use!!!

    The Bissell Breakfast, Side Caesar Salad
    Megan M.

    Came to Metro Diner because we were wanting breakfast for dinner and they serve breakfast all day here. The parking lot is large with a lot of space. The service was great, I ordered the Bissel Breakfast ($12) and a side Caesar salad ($4) it was a lot of food, you definitely get your money worth! Everything tasted great, the pancakes were fluffy and I ordered my hash browns well done, they were my favorite.

    Service always good nd friendly- Menu has a lot of options- I am a shrimp and grits girly but also love a good Benedict and breakfast sandwich. Can't go wrong with Metro diner.

    Kind of a mom and pop feel here which is cool. The waitresses are in good supply which makes it worth the time spent as well. My buddy and I ordered breakfast and they came out hot and plentiful. The omlette full of cheese and meat, hashbrowns were crispy and toast was nicely buttered. The only complaint was the restroom wasn't very clean, which is a pet peave of mine!

    Chicken parmigiana.

The outdoor bar was appreciated! This is an order-at-the-bar spot with food runners. It wasn't terribly busy while we were here,, so there was no wait for service -- always a plus! My husband ordered a Hi Neighbor beer (owners are from Rhode Island, so this seems to have been loosely based on Narragansett lager? Not terribly close in taste but a nice hoppiness to it). I had a flight, as I like to sample several when I try a new joint. I really liked the variety of types. We split a pretzel and a sandwich. Both were very tasty, and the food came out hot and fresh quickly. The bartender/food runners were very friendly! We had a great time hanging out here on a Saturday afternoon, we'll be back when we're nearby again for sure!

The place was busy on a Sunday night at 6 pm. We were able to get a couple of seats at the bar. Service was excellent the entire time. Multiple bartenders checked on us to make sure we had everything we wanted. Pretty much all of their beers are above average. The highlights for me: Hop Radio, Tropicat, Juice Break, and Jetty Rat. If you're a beer connoisseur, you will be happy you came here. The food is great. I tried the Bridge Burger and the Chicken Dippers. Both were excellent. All of their burgers are smash burgers. The menu consists of sandwiches, burgers, shareable, and flatbreads. I would love to try more of the menu after this experience. This was an exciting experience at a brewery new to me and I can't wait to return to try more food and beer. They have a board listing "on deck" beers so we know they are rotating their list. They also have events like trivia, bingo, open mic etc that can keep each visit interesting.
