My wife and I had the lobster bisque soup, seemed too good to pass on.we split a salad and the fish of the day entrée. The next day we both said we wished we had left the soup and salad for two full entrees. I called, they still had the fish so we returned but each of us had an order of the blackened Kingfish, no regrets as it was wonderful.. just had to say it. Two nights in a row with no regrets. An excellent place to dine for sure!

You walk in pay for your buffet , and sit where you like . Real casual dining experience.

Chocolate Cake wasn't bad, butbwhat i believe to pineapple cake or something was very dry no flavor. I dont go to buffets for the deserts, so..the chicken an the rest of the food made up for the issue. A closer to home buffet , they did have a sign up for all you can eat crab legs on Sat 3-7pm.

Stopped in while in Gainesville as we are huge fans of MSB!…read more Service was 3 stars as the staffed seemed to lack in some areas. Cashier was very helpful but our orders were getting mixed up and coming out randomly and not together. Wait time was longer than usual and it had to be because the kitchen wasn't getting the orders right. Food was good , except my fried green tomatoes were overly fried and very hard. My maple vanilla latte wasn't as delicious as back home so I had to work my magic at the coffee area to make it taste better. Tables in dining area were super sticky to the point the receipt stuck to the table. Not sure how long this location has been open but it seemed a bit of a mess today.

I went with a friend and funny enough this time I went with the same friend. I noticed their menu changed in a good way and they have some great offerings. The menu has a great variety, and I went with the regular Korean breakfast (Korean rice platter). It choose bulgogi as my protein, and it came with rice, a perfectly cooked egg, a fresh side salad, and even a small chicken wing. The flavors were spot on, especially the bulgogi, which was tender and well-seasoned. I split it with my friend and got hash browns and an extra egg for her. It was enough to fill us both granted we also had matcha on the way there. Generous portion for sure for us. Service was friendly and efficient, though the small space can fill up quickly, so plan accordingly. Overall, a great place for a hearty, flavorful meal. Would definitely come back!

Our server was very nice and she answered all of our questions, of which we had many! We were able to sit outside on a nice spring morning before it got too hot.

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.

Unlike that chain, these kind folks have breakfast all-day and a variety of classic southern food. Burgers, omelettes, fried shrimp, fish, salmon patties, lots of sides and, of course, sweet tea. I ordered the half-and-half fried shrimp and fish combo. Both were freshly-fried and the fries were nicely seasoned. To say these folks were enthusiastic is an understatement, and it shows in the quality of their food. They told me an updated menu is in the works, and they currently open at 6am and close around 2pm daily. Will definitely be back!

I wasn't a huge fan, they tasted like hotdogs and were fried as well. I ordered "The Smitty" which was a brisket sandwich with sliced sausage,cheese, pickles and onions. The portion was huge! I ate some meat before I could actually eat the sandwich-a good thing. They have various sauces on the table and my favorite was by far the mojo. The collard greens were just okay. The pulled pork had a decent flavor, but it was more like pork chunks instead of that nice pulled texture.
