    Another day, another diner craving satisfied. I've driven past Metro 7 countless times, but ever since my diner fixation kicked in, my subconscious is on high alert for new spots to try. Loved the cozy vibes inside--the staff was super sweet, and the food came out fast. I have this (bad?) habit of ordering a toasted muffin with coffee at every diner I visit. They had some fun options like pistachio, but I went with the cinnamon muffin, and it did not disappoint. For my main, I got the Monte Cristo--nothing excites my taste buds more than the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and this hit the spot. The portion was huge (hello, leftovers!). My boyfriend enjoyed his steak & eggs, and the hash was great. Metro 7 is definitely a solid addition to my diner rotation.

    Breakfast Panini

    First time at metro 7 dinner. Always looking for a good breakfast. Got the breakfast panini very good. A little sloppy but the flavor was there. Forgot to take a photo of my husband's Irish skillet. Definitely would recommend the place the server Rhianna was the best.

    This place just can't get it right, I don't think I can come back. I am always specific about wanting well done bread, but then it comes burnt, today I ask for well done, but please not burnt!!!! Guy asked if I wanted a to go, I said, it's burnt, I can't eat it. No response.

    It's been a minute since we've been to the Metro 7 Diner but I'm so happy we decided to U-turn and stop in there for a quick bite. It was last Friday, when my husband and I were driving home and saw the smoker with aromatic clouds of smoke billowing out. We immediately made a u-turn and ran inside to inquire about the delicious smoked meats we could stuff into our faces. The current meats were being prepped for the weekly Saturday BBQ specials, however, we got lucky as they had some extra from a catering we could get our hands on. I ordered the brisket sandwich and OMG it was so deliciously moist and flavorful. The service is excellent with friendly and attentive staff and the diner itself is comfortable just as a great diner should be. I'm ready to go back on a Saturday and take advantage of the selection of smoked meats and highly recommend you do as well.

    A decent home-style diner that serves decent portions of classics and bustling ambience. We came here on a recent Sunday morning and the place got busier by the minute. The waitstaff told us she was new and still training so there was a bit of a wait to put our orders in and the slaw and pickle were initially missed with the egg salad sandwich, but I wouldn't hold it against anyone. The egg salad was tops but the slaw was a tad too soupy than I like. The Irish skillet good, mince type corned beef and decent home fries, so overall we were pleased with the experience. I hope they continue to improve and stay open for a long time.

    Nothing better than breakfast at lunch time in the middle of the week. We finally decided to check out this one-year-old reopened diner. It obviously is popular based upon the number of cars in the parking lot. And, yes, they serve breakfast all day. My wife ordered the French Toast Short Stack with two eggs and bacon ($14.98). The two slices of French Toast did not have much of an egg flavor but placing her side order of eggs on top of the toast rectified that. The three slices of bacon were just crispy enough. I ordered the Apple Walnut Pancakes ($11.99). They were light, fluffy, and large enough that three of them was quite filling. The cinnamon apple and candied walnuts added a nice mix of texture and sweetness. The syrup provided on the side was imitation flavor and adequate. Coffee ($2.99) was average with a refill after I requested one. Service was friendly, professional, and prompt considering the level of customers at lunch time. Desserts at other tables looked very inviting and worth of a second visit.

    We waited FOREVER for the old Route 7 Diner to reopen following its sudden closure after the death of the owner, and despite the feeling at times that Metro 7 "opening soon" was some kind of performance art, it turned out to be worth the wait. We've now tried it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it's a well above-average diner. Did I say diner? This is not really a diner. It's a family-style restaurant with an excellent chef. It keeps restaurant hours, not diner hours, and the menu is judiciously limited in contrast to most diner menus that have so many things on them you need a forklift to turn the pages. These are all good things -- very good things. So far the specialty omelet with brisket in it has been the family favorite -- available only when they have leftover meat from the smoker. Yes, I tried it, even though we're in the mostly-vegetarian school now. But we also enjoyed the variety of vegetarian options, not dominating the menu by any means, but subtly tucked in and available in much more numbers than a regular diner. The home fries are to die for. Pretty much everything on the menu we've tried qualifies as: better than you would expect for Diner food. I had this strange feeling of deja vu eating here -- it reminded me of some other diner I've been to in the area -- and this feeling was resolved upon discovering the place is owned and operated by the same family that had the late and lamented Hillsdale Diner. (The mugs are all from that diner! It's strangely confusing and endearing). I do wish the hours were longer (particularly in the evening, but also the early morning and on weekends and holidays) but I understand the economics of it. This is a traffic corridor, it's probably only profitable to operate during peak traffic hours. The other thing I'm having a lot of trouble getting used to in general is the higher prices -- $15 burgers and $20 and up entrees are difficult to swallow (metaphorically). The equivalent of Denny's Grand Slam (admittedly higher quality) will run you nearly a 50% premium. But having decided it's not a diner but a destination restaurant for when we have a yankering for comfort food, those are the terms on which we will deal with inflation shock moving forward.

The first time I order a burger at someplace new to me, I always skip the sauces and condiments, so I can taste the flavor of the beef and the toppings. It certainly comes through here! Despite being cooked well, the beef flavor was strong, and the patties remained juicy. I wish they offered Swiss cheese as another possible topping. The fries are not my favorite. I do enjoy crisp fries, and these indeed are. The first few, while still hot, were tasty. But there comes the question, "Can fries be too crisp?" For me, these would be a "yes." While I appreciated the crunch, these were beyond the point where you still have the fluffier texture inside. They almost felt like french-fry shaped potato chips. They're also very filling. One serving could easily satisfy 3 people. I'll want to visit again to try one of their chicken sandwiches. And I saw on one of their signs that they carry Jane's Ice Cream, something I haven't had for a while. Bottom line: I'd come here for a burger or a chicken sandwich, but I'd be likely to get a side elsewhere in the building.

They definitely use some butter on that bun. I could taste it and it made the bun nice and crispy too. The burger it self had nice crisp edges and was juicy in the middle. I loved the sauce too. The fries are crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. They are large and well flavored too. This is not a budget place but you get what you pay for. I'll be back!

A regular fries and a drink brought the total to around $27 (!). Food was ready in about 5 minutes (they give you a light-up device so you don't have to wait in line) and we took it to our table. I have eaten at another location and knew what to expect. The burger was very good, though also greasy. I like thin, crispy burgers and they do it well though despite the handy paper handle to hold it with your fingers will get very messy. My son absolutely loved his burger too. The fries were much better than what I had experienced at their other location. These seemed pre-cut, perhaps pre-frozen, and coated in cornstarch. The top of the container were nice and crispy though they got soggy as you went down. I wish they arranged them flat on a plate, which might keep their texture better (though result in them getting colder faster). All in all, I like this place. Their prices are very steep for the small burgers you get, but they are high quality. So, I dunno. I can't come here more than for special occasions but when I do I think I will just stick with the burgers and skip the fries.

I've been to Innovo Kitchen in Latham several times over the years and I've enjoyed it every time. They have a unique menu that changes periodically, but I always find something that catches my eye. The interior has an industrial feel which I like, with a lot of exposed brick. The tables are made from old bowling lane wood, which is a really cool touch. When you walk in there is also a bowling pin displayed in a glass case. I remember there being a bowling alley somewhere in that plaza when I was a kid, so it seems likely the building has some history tied to that. The tables are also nice and large, which makes the dining experience more comfortable. Tonight I ordered the Monte Cristo burger which is described as battered Buckley's Bread sourdough, a 6 oz special grind burger, Taylor pork roll, Swiss, and Twin Leaf Farms maple aioli. It was quite tasty and I really enjoyed the hint of maple syrup flavor on the burger. The crinkle cut fries that came with it were also very good. Another person in our party ordered the White Chicken Parmesan, described as a crisp chicken cutlet topped with ricotta and garlic spinach and fresh mozzarella, with garlic parmesan cream and lumache pasta. They said it was delicious. Someone else had the Crispy Skin Salmon and enjoyed that as well. A child at our table ordered macaroni with red sauce. The portion was surprisingly large and they liked it, which is impressive because they are particularly finicky. For dessert we ordered something we've had here several times before, the peanut butter mud pie. It's basically ice cream in pie form with an Oreo cookie crust and chocolate fudge. It's very tasty and also a generous portion. At the end of your meal they also offer everyone at the table a tasty piece of gourmet chocolate. One thing that really stood out tonight was the attentiveness of the management. Two different managers stopped by our table at different times to check and make sure everything was good. I recognized one of them because I've seen him there before and he always seems to make a point of checking in with guests. The other person had seated us so I initially thought she was the hostess, but after she stopped by during the meal I asked if she was a manager and she confirmed that she was. I mentioned that I was impressed that two different managers had checked on us, and that every time I've dined there a manager has stopped by to make sure everything was good. I thanked her and told her it was appreciated. During the summer and fall they also have a very nice patio area for outdoor dining. On cooler nights they have heaters and a fireplace which makes it a great place to sit outside. I will definitely return here again in the future. 5 stars
