    Over-done fried fish!
    Hope R.

    I had the cheeseburger and there was a seasoning on it that was off putting. It turns out that they put 'meat seasoning' according to the manager. I asked for medium rare and it was more than medium done, couldn't eat it for those reasons. All 4 of us at the table ordered green beans at my suggestion and they were too undercooked to eat. Also, I had delicious green beans a few weeks ago with a delicious well-made fried chicken sandwich, but this time the green beans were inedible and the servings of the green beans were so small in comparison. The fried fish that 2 of the people ordered were so over-cooked on the outside, but a little under-done inside. The flavor of their fish had an ammonia smell to it. Someone order the Chicken & waffles and it was served without syrup which took almost 10 minutes to come to the table, but, in our server's defense she was incredibly busy. The chicken was way over-done and too dry to eat. We were thinking that the fryer is up too high or the cook doesn't know how to fry items. This location was always my family's favorite, but it is not doing as well as it has done. We're going to stick to just breakfast here, it's always been great for breakfast.

    My family wanted to stop in at Metro Diner for a delicious BLT and onion rings to continue a birthday celebration. Diana was our marvelous and helpful server on this day. Diana let us know that the double BLT could be made with two pieces of bread instead of the three pieces as stated in the menu. We all loved to hear that and ordered it with the two pieces of bread instead of three. The birthday girl was given a very large slice of chocolate cake as a treat. The hot chocolate and whipped cream was delicious. The ambiance was comfortable booths with conversation in the background. The food was delicious and we loved this casual atmosphere at Metro Diner.

    Metro diner continues to deliver when it comes to good food, good service, and a nostalgic atmosphere. My server today gave me the best tip ever and I'm never turning back. She told me I could order the Double Decker BLT without the bread in the middle. This was a game changer! More bacon and less bread per bite?!?! Yes, please! The onion rings are always worth the upcharge and try cheesy grits are a solid choice as wel. See ya next time Metro!

    Enjoyed a valentines brunch with my love to start our day. Wait time was only about 25-30 mins and while waiting we enjoyed conversation with the Girl Scout troop selling cookies. Our server was amazing and she was very attentive. We love strawberry anything so we ordered the limited edition strawberry shortcake waffle and pancakes. I ordered my waffle with scrambled eggs, bacon and home potatoes with a coffee and it was so good! Ambiance was so nice as the restaurant was decorated for valentines and menu items specifically for the love day. Metro diner is always a go too for us, until next time !

    Chicken and Waffles and sausage and biscuits.

    The food was hot and fresh. The service was friendly and pleasant. Sam was our waitress she was great nice smile too. The ambiance was casual and just like a diner would be. Management checked on us. I tried the chicken and waffles for the first time it was great especially with the strawberry butter my daughter had the sausage and biscuits it was huge she should have ordered a smaller size. You will not be disappointed if you care to visit. And yes it's busy but worth the wait.

    Metro Diner has comfort food at reasonable prices. The food was well portioned and tasteful. I especially enjoyed the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. The cinnamon butter adds additional flavor and is sinfully good.

    Super clean and the wait staff is super nice
    Clyde M.

    The amount of food that you get here for the price is great. I always get the chicken and waffles when I come. The strawberry butter and the spicy syrup is delish. The chicken is actual chicken, not tenders. What people don't know is that then chicken and waffles comes in a 1/2 or full. The service here is pretty quick and a great place to grab lunch with family and friends. Again, this place is really clean.

    I'm so happy Metro Diner has Mimosa Flights . They're really good . The flavors are -Pineapple -Peach Mango -Orange -Strawberry Lemonade They also have coffee flights too which I plan on trying on my next visit. I ordered the French toast and Chicken meal. It's listed on the menu as chicken & waffle, but I subbed the waffle for the Croissant French toast instead. Everything came out very quickly. They have sauce mix that goes well with the chicken ( mix the Louisianan hot sauce with the maple syrup ) it's like a sweet & spicy taste. The ambiance was super busy , so I added myself to the waitlist while parking so they texted me when to come in to be seated , so that's an awesome feature. My waitress Blaine was Amazing and so knowledgeable and sweet . Everything was good .

    Fried Chicken Tenders & Strawberry Shortcake Waffles

    It was Valentine's Day and Metro Diner had the inside decorated for the holiday. We waited a good 25 to 30 minutes for a table for 2. As soon as we walking in, we saw the specials board and saw they had Strawberry Shortcake Waffles. I had to order the Fried Chicken Tenders and Strawberry Shortcake Waffles with a Cranberry Juice. The order took 5 to 10 minutes to get our food. It was delicious. The service was good. Our server made sure we had everything we needed. I can't wait to come back again.

    Fish & Chips , Caesar Salad with tomatoes
    Tasha G.

    Saturday afternoon feeling hungry invited a few friends out to go try this place with me. You know the one that has the giant green lettering. Pleasantly surprised the restaurant was a lil busy but not rushed. soft music plays in the background, sounds of conversations from other tables but not noisy. We were seated and drinks were ordered the lemonade was good and cold very refreshing, I order a Caesar salad with tomatoes and sliced red onions, the battered fried fish and fries was scrumptious crispy lil morsels of deliciousness served with both hot sauce & Tartar sauce was a good touch could've used some freshly squeezed lemon which was provided yummy The service was exceptional re/filled glasses at the sight, offered a detailed description of the menu. Fast friendly and knowledgeable our sever was the bomb.com.

    I've been to Metro several times in past (pre-Yelp days). I've always enjoyed the breakfast. They had several specials written on the chalk board. I was conflicted on this visit because my appetite hadn't returned after my workout. I didn't want to order anything too heavy or too big. I went with oatmeal, a side of sausage patties, and coffee. They serve a good size portion of oatmeal. The french vanilla coffee was delicious. Service was good. The server let me customize the fruit bowl that accompanied the oatmeal. She topped off my coffee multiple times.

    Large house salad with a scoop of great chicken salad.

    I remember when Metro diner first opened years ago. The quality of food has really improved over time and their philosophy. The service was very good even on Valentine's Day. The service began with our waitress and on with the next two levels. The General manager as well as the regional director. A great dining experience begins with great service from the team and management. Typical Metro diner local atmosphere. Now the food. Great dishes. Enjoy the photos below.

    I am GF and was surprised to learn that they had a whole GF menu! They made my meal, but before they brought it out, the waitress said that she was notified of accidental cross contamination and that they were fully remaking my meal. I was super appreciative of that and it sounds like they are aware of GF needs. I am 1000% going back. The food was delicious!! The diner itself is a cute little spot with a classic diner vibe.

On my first visit, I ordered the Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes with link sausages and a glass of orange juice. The pancakes were delicious, the sausages hit the spot, and the orange juice was... well, you know... orange juice. It did its job! The atmosphere reminded me of a classic country diner--cozy, welcoming, and filled with an older crowd, which I honestly prefer. One thing I really appreciated was being able to seat myself. That's always a plus in my book. Sometimes being escorted to a table means ending up in that one awkward corner nobody wants... but I digress. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily come back. My significant other, however, wasn't nearly as impressed. Oh well--you win some, you lose some!

Fun fact, diners were started in New England region of America in the 1850s. All this to say, I love a good diner. I mean the American diner has always been there for middle America. The closest one to me and honestly it's definitely hidden away is the Maitland Breakfast Club. It's pretty much situated on the boundary line of where the City of Altamonte Springs starts. They have large space that's casual and what you would expect for a diner. Anyone can walk in wearing their Sunday best to pajamas. The waitresses are very welcoming and exactly the kind of person I would expect to invite me into a diner. We had gone on a Saturday afternoon and they're not a diner that's open late, so more of a breakfast diner really. Now I got the eggs Benedict with bacon and hash browns. For me, there are three breakfast staples I believe all amazing must revisit breakfast places should have. A good cup of warm regular coffee, eggs Benedict, and good crispy hash browns. I mean some places have other things like lattes and hash brown bowls, and I'm not saying those aren't good. However, when you nail the basics, you can do anything else. The hollandaise sauce was great and didn't split and bacon was crispy. The hash browns were super crispy, which I loved, and I could tell it had been made on a flat top grill, which is another very classic American restaurant kitchen appliance. The cup of coffee was good, I mean they had the sugar packets and the creamers right there. Overall, I would rate it a 9/10 and it set us back about $15 for just my portion. I will be back (said menacingly), Maitland Breakfast Club.

Even though it's listed on the lunch menu, I was still able to order it for breakfast. Their bread is incredible, and everything tasted so fresh! The ezme is a wonderful addition to add to the avocado and labneh toasts. I also tried the Turkish coffee, but as someone who doesn't drink black coffee, it wasn't quite for me. I would recommend it mainly to those who enjoy strong, black coffee, though it was a nice touch that it came with a Turkish delight! My only minor critique is that the staff weren't around very much.

We also ordered a side of fries to share which were piping hot and seemed like they came directly out of the fryer. Everything was tasty and very reasonably priced. The only downside was that my wrap was a little dry, and I wanted a side of ranch to go with it. Our server didn't come check on us for about 10 minutes after our food arrived, so I ended up having to ask the host to help me find her. Other than that, the service was good and we enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere is laid-back and has a fun sports bar vibe. We even mentioned coming back to watch the World Cup final here. Overall, The Back Porch is a solid spot for a casual meal, and we'll definitely be back!

    New Orleans style food was excellent. Typical spicy dishes, but not too "hot". More flavor than…read moreheat! Service was also more than excellent! Our birthday party was celebrated to perfection. We, and the birthday boys, were happy with the wait staff. I will definitely return.

    So I recently came here for the first time for a birthday celebration and I really enjoyed it! So I…read morehave been meaning to try out Tibby's for quite some time now.... as there are very few places that offer New Orleans southern cajun comfort food within the Central Florida area, and it surely did not disappoint. This restaurant is located in Altamonte, right within a strip mall, and has plenty of surrounding parking for easy access. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated immediately. The interior was so whimsical and made you feel like you were directly transported to the beautiful city of New Orleans, it was super cute and on theme. For food, we had ordered the fried gator bites and cajun shrimp appetizer. Both items were very tasty and a great size for sharing. Now when it came to my entree, I ordered the Rita's Chicken... which was the true star of the show. That dish was soo tasty, the chicken was nicely seasoned and tender, and the dirty rice was a great compliment to it. The dirty rice was a tad bit too soft for my own preference, but the flavor was definitely there! Now, we cannot forget about the drinks and beignets. For the drinks, I tried the signature old fashioned. It was nice and strong with notes of sweet praline. For dessert, we of course had to try the beignets... which were out of this world. It came out nice and warm, they were so delicious! As it pertains to the service... our server was so amazing. She was very patient and super attentive to our large party. We even had the assistant manager come by and introduce herself which I thought was very nice. I really enjoyed my first time at Tibby's and I will definitely be back soon to try the other things on the menu!

    This place feels like a HIDDEN GEM. At the corner of an unassuming old shipping plaza, eating here…read morefelt like coming home. I visited Johnny's on A Sunday after church and the place was packed but I didn't have to wait for a seat. The entire staff was warm, lovely, inviting and very attentive desire the crowd. They made sure my coffee was topped off at frequent intervals and always served me with a genuine smile. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS, everything cooked to perfection. But what really warmed my heart was watching the staff interact WITH EACH OTHER. You could really feel a sense of family among them, and that in itself was infectious! THIS IS A MUST STOP for any weary traveler or anyone looking for a home cooked meal that feels line it was cooked at home!

Johnny's is a classic, somewhat nostalgic for me, diner experience, the servers were attentive and the coffee was nice and strong but smooth. This reminds me a lot of the Greek diners I went to all the time while growing up in Western New York. Our food came out fast, and everything was good. I got the biscuits and gravy and hash browns. the biscuits and gravy was comforting and the hash browns were actually my favorite thing, they were nice and crispy. My husband got the Greek omelette and hash browns and was happy with his meal as well. As mentioned before the staff was attentive and very nice. Coffee and drinks were being refilled before you noticed you needed it. I think they handle the weekend crowd very well. By the time we were leaving there were people waiting for tables, but it was a very large party so that's to be expected. Just be prepared for that if you come at peak hours. The restaurant itself was homey and gave that classic diner feel. Everything was lived-in, in a cozy way, but clean. The prices were very reasonable and the portions were just right. I would recommend Johnny's diner and will come again.
