My food partner had a great experience, loved the food and the service. For me - I was very excited to see the delicious looking burger (1/2 pounder). Wow! But, here was the thing: I can't do onions and specifically stated no onions, and the server affirmed the order. The sad occurrence was the burger was loaded with extra juicy onions. I called the server back, she was apologetic and took the order back. As she entered the kitchen, I saw her grab gloves and it was at the time, I knew that she was going to mess up (pick the onions off and return it to me). She brought it back - same burger, soaked bun in onion juice (along with all the other delicious stuff) and told me "here ya go". I told her to just take it back and remove it from the check. After a few minutes and after the other diner was done with their meal, the server came back and asked if I wanted a new on cooked without onions (which should have been done in the first place). I opted out. It looked sooooo good, needless to say - I was 100% disappointed at the delivery of the missed cook burger, but more so (if possible) at "picking off" the onions and trying to reserve it. Shame on them. I would definitely go back, because I wanted to experience a great burger (just without onions).

The guide pointed it out as a popular breakfast joint so we were eager to try it. Upon entering, the place looked cozy (ie tight space) but was around half full of diners. We were asked to seat ourselves. Once presented the menu, we ordered coffee and water before deciding what we'll order for breakfast. Having seen their menu beforehand, my wife ordered their sweet potato pancakes with tater tots and I ordered the Tri Omelet with spuds and wheat toast. Service was slooow, even though the place hadn't filled up yet. It took a while to get our coffee and much longer for our breakfast. My wife liked her pancakes which she couldn't finish and had to take home for a snack later. My omelet was good, although I would've preferred more bacon than ham.

Exceptional Service from Teek…read more It has been a long time since I've had a waitress as outstanding as Teek. From the moment she greeted our table, she brought genuine warmth, professionalism, and an effortless sense of hospitality. She struck that perfect balance of being attentive without ever hovering, and she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. What truly set her apart was the way she made every interaction feel personal. Her menu knowledge, her timing, and her upbeat energy elevated the entire experience. Even while managing multiple tables, she made us feel like we were her top priority. Service like this is rare. Teek is a standout -- the kind of person who turns a simple meal into a memorable one. Any restaurant would be lucky to have her, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

The ambiance is exactly like if you were in Long Island, NY, or NJ! We ordered the dbl pork chop dinner, seafood dinner, and a Cobb Burger. First off, when the "side" Greek salads came, we gasped. They were more than half the size of a dinner salad. Well worth the $2 Greek Salad upcharge! My wife asked for a box right away, as the dbl pork chop dinner was easily 2x her normal dinner portion. The taste was as you expect from a place like this: a greasy spoon in all the right ways. My fish and shrimp were hand breaded. The piece of cod was enormous. It was the length of the plate, and the shrimp were actually hand breaded coconut shrimp! It was a nice surprise. The crab cake was bought as the waitress admitted. But it was still tasty. My son was digging his giant cobb burger. He cohldn't finish his fries, and that's saying something for a ravenous teenager. We couldn't walk out without ordering dessert to go: Tiramisu, Chocolate Cake, and Strawberry Cheesecake. I reminded my wife that people go to the Cheesecake Factory to get cheesecake not nearly as good as what's found here! Next time we're in Clearwater, we'll definitely be back!

Last minute breakfast decision and wow I am so pleased that we decided on the Metro Diner!…read more As soon as we pulled up I had a good feeling about this place and I'll be honest coming from New York I miss my diners! Needless to say this the Metro diner truly surpassed my expectations. We walked in and were greeted immediately and asked if we would like to sit outside which is a covered area or indoors. We chose inside given it being a hot humid day and wanting that extra comfort. The vibe felt amazing with all the smiles and yes even though busy all the wait staff was hopping doing their business! We were seated and told about the specials and given the menu. I was unsure what I wanted because I think I could have eaten a little bit of everything! I did ask the waitress a couple of suggestions and one of them was the pancakes I had chosen. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day! How cool is that and rare. They had a chicken and waffle special that was actually half a chicken ( pieces ) fried with Belgium waffles, powdered sugar and sweet strawberry butter served with their signature sweet and spicy sauce. I'll be honest when I had seen someone else get their plate I was surprised. It looked absolutely incredible and well tremendous. On their specials they had banana pudding pancakes or waffles, this also sounded amazing. It had walnuts, butter and powdered sugar and definitely banana. I am most certainly glad that I chose this as it was incredibly. Super fluffy, flavorful and the banana was not overwhelming there was a perfect balance of flavors. There was a sauce on them that I assume was the banana pudding. It was light and just enough to not overpower the pancake itself. We had also ordered croissant French toast and my son absolutely loved them. They were crispy on the outside yet fluffy and flavorful with a fantastic texture topped with some powdered sugar. Some ordered hash browns, these were also delicious and homemade with a great texture and the portion like all the other dishes pretty large. We had all tried the biscuits and gravy. These too were delicious with such a nice balance of flavors. The biscuits indeed homemade. We were all very pleased with everything. Some eggs over easy and bacon cooked perfectly. The coffee honestly the best I've had in years. I'm a coffee drinker and I cannot figure this coffee was outstanding! I had four cups and wish for more ha ha. Best of all I must compliment the service. I have not been to a restaurant of any sort with such attentive service, quality service as we received here in years. The waitress kept refilling my coffee and water, brought my son more soda ( even a container to take his home ) asked everyone if they needed anything at appropriate times and was extremely kind and considerate. I will be back and I highly recommend the Metro Diner for a great meal, quality service and relaxed environment that you will enjoy.

Sausage gravy is delicious here. Nice and creamy and well season. The biscuit is OK it's a little bit on the dryer side. But there's some sausage gravy on it is great. Homemade fried typically done very well here when I asked for them well done this visit. It wasn't well done as I usually like it. But but typically it's done the way I like it. The shrimp and grits were also great. The shrimp was seasoned well cooked perfectly. The grits were nice and buttery. My only input would be to have the cheese melted on. I have the cheese crumbled on top, but it never really melted in. It'd be much better if it was actually melted onto the grits. Otherwise, everything is great.
