Metro Diner was founded in Jacksonville, Florida. Although my dining companion and I look for…read morelocally owned restaurants, one can almost always count on the consistency of service and food quality at Metro Diner. It's a must-visit restaurant when you don't want to sift thru options. My dining companion always orders the chicken and waffles entree. A half order, white meat. This entree was excellent. I ordered the Salmon, rice and broccoli entree. Delicious and filling. Service was pleasant and efficient. We never felts rushed and witnessed similar service to other guests. They had a new chicken and waffles shirt for sale. The service staff always sport such cute t-shirt designs and if you buy one and wear it to the restaurant you get 10 percent off your meal. We will continue to frequent more Metro Diner locations!

This place just keeps getting better!…read more Last night Karen and I went to The Grille fir a quick local bite. We have been many times and we live the vibe, eay to kick back and enjoy a great meal. Anthony started by expressing the night's features. But I would not be distracted. I was going for the Veal Saltimbocca. Karen switched up and fid not ho for her normal Chicken Marsala and instead ordered the Pesto Bucatini with Burrata with added grilled chicken. We started eating prior to my getting pics, sorry. My Saltimbocca was flawless and I will be finishing Karen's meal for lunch! My compliments to my brother from another mother. You nailed this service!

I've been coming here for years and I'm so glad after an ownership change it remains one of my…read morefavorites in the area. The service here has always been outstanding and that continues and what can I say about the kitchen, Chef Pete continues to knock it out of the ballpark, his soups are the best in the area no matter which one is on the menu they all are a must try. The menu has changed a little over the years but there are still plenty originals that remain today, I've enjoyed so many it would be difficult to pick a favorite. If your looking for a great cocktail or a cold beer the bar is always a great place to start - the live music creates a wonderful atmosphere and is always entertaining. It's great to see a local restaurant that always delivers a great experience and is supported by the community. If you haven't given them a try you're missing out The Grille never disappoints...

Hubby ordered two al la cart tacos one beef and once chicken. He enjoyed chicken the most said the beef was a tad salty. I enjoyed the cheese chimichanga. Fresh pulled chicken. The rice was delicious also which I rarely enjoy. The lettuce served on the side was very fresh and cold. The place was clean and the service was friendly. We enjoyed the fresh food and plan to return next time we are in the area. Much better than most mexican places we have dined in Florida. Highly recommend.

Now, the shrimp and grits were some of the BEST I've had in a while (that's not homemade). The cheese grits were perfectly cooked, shrimp cooked AND seasoned, there were peppers and crispy bacon on top. So DELICIOUS; it's not on the menu but you can ask for it. My partner orders the feta omelette and crispy potatoes. Once again the potato's were cooked perfectly and already seasoned. The omelette was good. Your standard omelette. I'll definitely be back!

Great fresh food…read more They offer good-sized serving of hash browns (a lifelong fave) as an add-on. I got the Huevos Rancheros, which had half of a perfectly ripe avocado sliced on top of it, side of tasty refried beans, I asked for huevos revuelto (scrambled eggs) but sunny side up is their standard. My only disappointment was that they used wheat flour tortillas instead of corn. I really prefer the taste & texture of corn tortillas (I'm from LA, so grew up eating at family-run Mexican restaurants!), and they soak up less oil when fried and get crispier. Now, that won't matter to most diners, so not a big deal in the big picture. My husband had the breakfast burrito and he said it, too was very fresh. We took our order out because we have our two service dogs with us and the outside seating was just too too hot during this beastly heat wave here in Florida. I say go! It was very delicious.

We stopped here on our way home. The staff was nice,…read moreUnfortunately the service was extremely slow even if it was not busy. The place was clean but not much attention to details like there are two dead plants on top of the pie display that definitely needed attention. The tuna salad was good and so were the French fries. Good price.

The waitress recommended the chicken and waffles as they hand bread the chicken breasts and fry them in strips. Unbelievably delayed (maybe best chicken strips ever) but added to the thick, dense waffle and maple syrup?!? WOW The portion was massive so I now have lunch to eat later too. I also must mention the vibe was chill and friendly (no cranky early morning people here!) And the food came super fast. Plenty of time to eat and get to work!

A group of six guys went to lunch. We decided to go here. It was great!…read more Now to the review, When we walked in, we were met by one of the staff who immediately sensed our dismay at there being no table for six. Being a big man, he lifted a table in to position and placed the appropriate number of chairs around. It only got better from there. Menus from this young man. A young woman, who looked about thirty showed up and I introduced myself. "I'm Kate", she responded. Drinks? Three Diet Cokes, two waters and a beer (a local IPA from Ormond Garage). She promptly remembered all our names and we got down to looking over the menu. When she came back, we ordered from all over the menu. schnitzel sandwich, "Tilt Burger" (don't ask), chicken fingers, turkey wrap, "Tilt Burger" (don't ask) and mine was the corned beef Benedict known as "The Irish". The food was on the table in a timely fashion. All except the two "Tilt Burgers" (you can ask now). The young man who seated us should have relieved the slight waitress and brought these to the table. The burgers looked too heavy to be lifted by such a slight young woman. Ham, cheese, BLT, large burger patty and an egg. All the meals were excellent, the service great and the fun as advertised. Kate allowed as how she five kids and two grandkids. She didn't look her age. To find that last fact out, you'll have to go. Five stars and more for a truly Florida experience, on the beaten track, but maybe not. They needed some Tabasco.

I really enjoyed Pop Thai. I ordered Panang curry and my wife ordered Pad Thai and a Thai Iced Tea…read more The service was fast, it took only 5 minutes or so for our food to come out. It was hot and tasted fantastic. Thai Tea was much too sweet in my opinion but they brought us extra cream (it was still too much for me). The ambiance was pleasant, however I do have to mention that the music was pretty obnoxiously loud. Also, I think they must have just gotten new furniture or something because it smelled very strongly like tires or new rubber inside. It was strong initially, but after 5-10 minutes you couldn't detect it as strongly. It wasn't horrible, but definitely noticeable and not very pleasant initially. The service was fantastic. I will be back to try some of their other menu options. Prices were average, Pad Thai was $14.95 and Curry was $15.95. Tea was $6.

But the restaurant itself was hot and we all spent the whole time sweating while we ate our food.
