Which is why I ultimately went. My son was able to get his pancake fix in. My husband his fried chicken fix. We were all satisfied here.

Let me start with the good for my Metro Diner pick up order (placed one online and one through…read moreDoorDash): Order was ready on time The hostess in the bright green shirt at the front was very friendly and assisted me quickly Chicken tenders, creole mustard, green beans and fries were the star of the show today. I haven't had their chicken tenders before, but now realize I prefer it over the standard fried chicken solely because the flavor profile is better (more seasoned). I would order this again. Salad for my steak tips was as expected. I also redeemed a birthday reward for the chocolate cake. The bite I took was pretty good and it is easily a sharable portion size. Now for the not so good... My order through metro diners website consisted of steak tips, mash&gravy, garden salad with ranch. I personally would not order this again. Issue: The steak was chewy, flavor was bland and portion size seemed small for the value. My DoorDash order consisted of 1. Bissell breakfast with pancakes, scrambled eggs, cheese grits, bacon and a biscuit. 2. Small sausage gravy side 3. Chicken tenders plate with creole mustard, green beans and French fries. Issue: I quickly glanced through the see through lid of the boxes and noticed toast instead of a biscuit and no container that would have had the cheese grits. Went inside to notify the team and expo of missing items (also brought the bag back in). The expo called for these missing items from the kitchen. The cook glanced and then asked if he had a ticket for that? I managed restaurants for years so I get it when the kitchen asks this, however, the ticket was the one you made incorrectly and the expo did not check for correctness. The expo also stated "it is for a DoorDash order that she said is wrong". I'm happy this was a personal order because I got to see firsthand how it appears DD order issues are dismissed since they seemed to assume I was a driver. At least that is how the short exchange presented. They weren't rude it was the tone and lack of apology for my missing items. Mistakes happen. How you respond to and handle them matters. Fast forward - I get home and realize they must have simply switched my order with someone else's. There were hash browns with cheese and diced tomatoes and scrambled eggs with cheese. Was not my order and could not eat this order. The pancakes were just okay. Tried the sausage gravy with the biscuit. Not something I would get again but this part isn't a reflection of Metro Diner. Ordered this just to try it since many rave about this southern combo. Let's just say there will be more for everyone else to enjoy.

Ordered the artichokes and the chipotle shrimp flatbread for the table... artichokes were very leomony and the chipotle flatbread was sweet instead of spicy. The red sangria wasn't special. Perhaps from a bottle but the other drinks were good. The artichoke and chicken soup wasn't special but was 'thin' - mostly clear broth. Everyone's meal was good - rainbow trout, shrimp and grits, halibut special and the 8oz filet... but something is always missing. Maybe it's as simple as needing salt. It was a fine meal - but at $50/person, it wasn't worth the price. Likely won't be back.

For drinks We got a old fashioned for hubbie, me a lemon drop and a Watermelon dream for my son This was the first lemon drop that I liked!!! For apps we got gator bites , fried calamari, and squid . The gator bites were good and tender, and the calamari and squid were fried lightly. Entrées, I got the snapper lemon grass. My son got a catfish Po boy that I swear was half a French loaf, and my husband got the platter with fried oysters, butterfly shrimp crawfish fries It was a lot of food and we had to take some home We still got dessert, though, which was a cream Brûlée I have just a few tweaks 1. You need to have somewhere with the dessert stated on your menu. Second, the butternut squash that I got with my fish, should've been done a touch more. It was still good. It just needed to be done a touch more. 3. Please fix the handicapped bathroom. It didn't want to lock . Regardless, it was a wonderful meal!! Our server was pretty on point. She was friendly. She was fast no complaints and she got tipped very well. I think her name was Briana O!! She was an excellent waitress! All in all, I think everyone enjoyed their meal .

It costs $10.95 per person, for all you can eat, plus an omelette "cook" in the back. It has the standards; eggs, bacon, french toast, fruit, yogurt, cereal, potatoes, and a toaster with bread, muffins, and bagels. Nothing too extravagant, but the food was of decent quality for "hotel buffet." I was impressed that the omeltte was not "rubbery," and when I said extra cheese, there was ample amount, but (cue suspenseful music).......it was actually melted. The woman running the buffet was extremely friendly, and if you needed anything she was quick to help you out. I am still preferring to explore local restaurants for breakfast, but we needed a quick fix this morning, and this hotel restaurant more than did the trick. Not bad, and for hotel all you can eat breakfasts, well done.
