We went on a whim for brunch one day. The food was great. We ordered the corned beef hash and the special of the day. Both were good! The highlight was the amazing biscuit! I am assuming the biscuits and gravy are fantastic! The mimosa was good but the Bloody Mary is a different type of drink. Not the favorite. I recommend for good brunch for sure! read more

I love Metro diner!! The food here never disappoints and I would always recommend this as a brunch spot for friends and family. Their chicken and waffles takes the badge for the area in my opinion! read more

If you're in North Augusta and Augusta this the (and maybe the only place) for actual quality food and hospitality services. Waitress was prompt and accommodating. Venue was clean. Parking was decent. Had the chicken tender plate this time and have had the chicken and waffles which were both good meals. I prefer the chicken n' waffles over the chicken tender plate, just because it's chicken tenders and you can usually get that any where you go. Chicken was moist and skin was not soggy, had a nice crisp. Will for sure be THE place for my morning craving spot for southern style cooking. read more

Can't beat delicious southern food. Their breakfast is especially delicious. The chicken and waffles is one of my favorites!

The service is awesome and their food is delicious. The have large portions and some of the best food in town. You can't beat their chicken and waffles with strawberry butter. They make a very tasty cheese steak sandwich. Everything on their menu that I have tried is great. read more

Friendly service, nice atmosphere. The breakfast food was good. Plump fluffy pancakes and just right grits. Eggs were done correctly and seasoned nicely. Fresh coffee too. A mix of people in a restaurant, which is what I like to see. Definitely will stop by again when we are in the area. read more

I was really craving some breakfast foods. I think we ordered way too much food, but it was just what I wanted. My fiancé and I ordered the San Fransisco Benedict $11.99, a fruity waffle $7.99, egg, hash brown, and toast $5.99, and a spicy honey chicken biscuit $3.99. General || The 'diner' has that typical retro look with small booths and tables in front of the open kitchen. There's a large parking lot outside that loops around the restaurant. We arrived on a Saturday around 12:30 PM and had to wait about 30-40 minutes to be seated as the restaurant was packed inside and out. Food || For the most part, everything was great. The fruity waffle was good, but not worth the price. However, everything else was very enjoyable. They have such a large selection of food items that all sound quite yummy, so I will be back! Service || Servers are attentive and sweet! They are there to refill water, top off coffee, and are able to answer any questions I had about the menu. read more

Metro Diner - Diners Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Food is always on point. Servings are generous. I've yet to dine in (always delivery). Shrimp & grits are my favorite.

Just visited but somehow im already overdue for another visit ! The Metro Diner hit big with me, I had a taste for Chicken & Waffles and they DID NOT miss! Lately my appetite has been minimal and my tastebuds have been craving 0 salt, so I'm always a little cautious about what I decide to consume because it could turn into a non-consumable for me. With my appetite being the way it is, it's been hard to stomach a lot of restaurant foods but I'll tell you now that the Metro Diner hit the spot for me. The flavor was good, the pieces were juicy, but crispy and overall good without too much salt to flavor. But, I really want to get to the waffle! At first, I was extremely cautious because of the thickness of the waffle and the strawberry butter. I'm used to a thinner waffle so it was a visual turn-off to begin, but I wanted chicken and waffles, so I had to conform. The waffle was delicious with syrup alone, but OMG that strawberry butter took it to another stratosphere! if you're out looking for a good filling breakfast of a 1/2 chicken and a delicious waffle then look no further. Time to update already! Went back for round 2. Monte Cristo EXCELLENT! Cinnamon Roll Pancakes EXCELLENT! Onion Rings Delicious. I upgrade my rating from 4.5/5 to a 5/5! read more

After eating here the opening month, I knew I was way overdue for another visit. So a Sunday brunch found me suggesting a return to the Metro Diner. Being later morning I was concerned about the wait time, but took a gamble anyway. We arrived to a full house and a wait of 20 minutes, With it being one of few cold days that Augusta has each year, I wondered if we would be crammed in the foyer or forced to stand outside. Turns out they had planned for this. Part of the outside patio area had been sectioned off with heavy duty plastic enclosure with heat and complimentary coffee. I mention all this so you understand just how customer-centric this restaurant is. I came hungry so I went straight to the larger dishes. For some reason the chicken pot pie was calling my name, and I am sure glad I answered. I ordered the bigger portion (I told you i was hungry) and the turnaround time was minimal. When that bowl was placed before me, I knew I was in for something delicious. This pot pie isn't made with the traditional dough casing, but instead has a biscuit crust top. I found this to 1) be really tasty and 2) appear to have allowed the ingredients to cook more evenly and properly. Having the vegetables I anticipate (peas and carrots), I typically find them to be overcooked. Sidenote: this is due to the need to fully bake the crust casing. But not this time. Both had the right amount of firmness and everything had a perfect blend of flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by the hint of salt and butter that worked to complement the dish instead of overpowering it. I wish, as I do each time, that I had saved room for dessert but it was not meant to be. Maybe next time, maybe. *Insider's Tip -They have weekly specials for all three meals so check in...weekly. -Don't forget beer, wine, Bloody Mary's, and mimosas are a drink option. Now that's a diner. read more

Limited seating, got there at 8am. Kitchen staff was happy as can be, laughing and singing. I work in one of those major grocery stores where people are just being ignorant, hoarding, yelling at us why we don't have this and that...on and on. So to hear laughing and singing is a wonderful calming thing, that was enjoyable. The breakfast was great as can be, eggs Benedict with cheese on the hash browns, huevos rancheros yummy. Jonathan and Codi always with a smile, makes us feel comfortable...THANK YOU ALL You guys made my only day off a wonderful one. read more

Known as much -- or maybe more -- for its nostalgia as for its food. No question it's tasty and one of the only breakfast options available outside of fast food. Good - yes! 5 stars? No but a solid four! read more

We love Metro Diner. The fried Chicken was crisp and juicy and the waffles were soft and tasty. We sat at the bar area this time and the staff cooking are a hoot. We thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to go back! read more

We were on the road from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach and my lovely wife found Metro Diner after an on-line search. When I saw a sign at the entry that said "Where locals go to eat", I hoped we were in the right place. Our enthusiastic and attentive waiter Trey took his time to explain alternatives for our order and we got just what we wanted. The old man went for the fried chicken dinner, though the chicken and waffle was tempting. This was some of the best fried chicken I have had in a long time; it came right out of the fryer and was very hot. Juicy, lots of flavor with a crispy coating. Excellent mashed potatoes were clearly homemade with very good gravy. I got a side of Mac and cheese because I was in the south and that is a litmus test; very good flavor and al dente macaroni. A truly terrific biscuit was perfect. Trey provided timely refills of my drink and followed up to make sure we were happy. Darling wife had a veggy wrap with superb, tender crisp grilled vegetables on the side. She said it was one of the best wraps she ever had and honestly it was a pleasant surprise in a diner emphasizing traditional southern comfort food. During our meal, both the manager and owner stopped at our table to check on the food and service. I was amazed to learn that they have many Metro Diners and are a growing company; the fact that the homemade food is of such high quality is remarkable. An excellent experience - just what we were looking for!! read more

Well, I've been hearing about Metro Diner for a while now and finally got in to see what all the fuss is about - I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! My husband's office was having lunch here so I joined them. We decided to split the chicken and waffles which, considering the size when the dish came out, was an excellent decision. I ate the light meat and the hubs had the dark so, again, perfect for us. It's HALF of a chicken. And then a waffle (4 quarters), strawberry butter, and spicy maple syrup. I was skeptical. Then I tasted everything. Just try it - put some butter on the chicken and try the maple syrup on anything and everything! You won't be sorry. Although completely satisfied with our choice, the look of some of the other people's dishes made me want to go back and try some other options - soon! read more

New experience and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Super unhealthy but hey, it's Augusta, GA. Service was spectacular and they really know how to treat you with the portions and pricing. Unique, valuable, and friendly. Everything came out well and on time. read more

Decent place for a good and affordable bite. We have been trying to get here for a while but they are always so busy. Today was the lucky day. It's a traditional diner so food is what you would expect at the diner. It was decent. Fried chicken was good. Hollandaise sauce was probably pre made or packaged. Not bad though. Overall good family place for breakfast. read more

Lived up to the Hype I've been meaning to visit since I moved here in September. Everyone talked about how good it was, so I finally paid them a visit. Service: We came on a Saturday around 1:00PM, so there was a 20-30 mins wait. They are considerate enough to open the patio and provide complimentary coffee and water. Super nice. When we were finally seated, I was so overwhelmed by the number of items on the menu, I had a hard time deciding what to order. Thankfully our waitress was so nice and patient with me. :) FYI: Items in green are their best sellers. Food: I ordered a mimosa, of course it's Brunch, it wasn't bad. Better than I thought it would be. I order the WESTERN OMELETTE WITH EGG WHITES and a side of fries. Everything was delicious. And HOT. Their FRIES are bomb too! I could've ate them without ketchup. Perfection. Only complaint I have is that my biscuit was a little too browned. I think they left it in the oven too long. I was sad. Next time I am going to try the CHICKEN AND WAFFLES, but with chicken tenders instead of bone in chicken. Yes, you can do that... You're welcome! read more

Good food and good service. There was a wait but didn't mind it because of the food and it was nice weather outside.

Overall I had a positive experience at the "Metro Diner" My first impression was "how cool the place looks" I definitely feel like I'm in a diner. The menu is loaded with choices. The breakfast and lunch choices alone should be enough to satisfy most. In addition to the lunch and dinner menu. They also off fourteen sandwich and hamburger choices. I enjoy the food and the many choices. I dislike the long wait. My wait times for food at the Metro are usually longer that what I am used to. Other than that it's one of my favorite places to eat. read more

I've always liked this diner. Good food and service us good. The chicken and waffles is great. An entire half chicken with a waffle. Can't loose with that.

Visited this establishment on Sunday 5/2/24 around 10:30am with family. Although the service was excellent and the food was good, the manager this particular morning was the rudest. While our waiter "John" was taking our order the manager approached him and said " hurry up " we were all in dismay because "John" had just begun to take our orders. Had it not been for the kind service of "John" we would have gotten up and walked out. I don't know what kind of management training is being done at this establishment but in certain cases it needs to be reviewed. read more

Ok, review number 2 of this spot. We were passing thru Augusta and my wife asked about that great place we ate at before. We had to stop by. Not having been here in a while, we hoped the food was still good. Let me tell, the Metro Diner DOES NOT MISS! We wanted to try something different than before. We went with the Avocado Toast and the Sticky Chicken and Waffle... INCREDIBLE!!! Ok, we will come by here every time we are in Augusta! Maybe you'll open a spot in Atlanta or Dallas. Once again, thank you Metro Diner, for the perfectly prepared culinary delights. You are definitely worth the stop EVERY TIME! read more

I went here for the first time today, and it was bleh. I ordered the croissant French toast and it was terrible. It had a weird texture like a badly baked cake but it was also extremely eggy in flavor. I couldn't finish eating it. It was disappointing in flavor, texture, and appearance. My boyfriends dish was okay, but we've eaten better meals for cheaper. The service was okay. I typically like it when a waiter or waitress doesn't hover over me, but my waiter was no one to be found sometimes. We had to wait awhile after we finished eating for the check then wait for him to take the credit card to pay. I probably won't be back here again. read more

This was a great choice for breakfast/ brunch in a Sunday. The tables are distanced apart enough and the menu can be scanned through your phone! I had the breakfast sandwich and my husband had the chicken and waffles. Both were very good. My toast was tough on one side and soft in another...only complaint. The mimosa was a nice addition! read more

Wait is long, but the food is good and hearty. Service is always checking in you, to make sure you have everything you need.

I had the chicken trips with steamed broccoli and Mac n cheese with broccoli soup. The steamed broccoli was moldy and my brother Chicken sandwich had so hair melted into the cheese, But our server was awesome .I think that they really need to inspect their produce before cooking it and serving it to someone. read more

A quick Apple Maps search for restaurants in the Augusta area caught our attention. We arrived a little after 12-noon, checked-in and were told by the Host that our wait time to be seated would be 10 to 25 minutes. We were pleasantly surprised when in less than 15-minutes my iPhone received a text informing us that our table for three was ready. Our Server Cottie (pronounced Co-Tee) was great. She was warm, friendly and attentive. Cottie took our orders for drinks, I ordered a coffee; no cream or sugar. The coffee was perfectly balanced, no doubt a medium flavored breakfast brew which wasn't acidic and very pleasant to consume. I ultimately decided on the Classic Eggs Benedict with hash brown, my all-time favorite breakfast. It wasn't more than 10 to 15 minutes that our food was being brought over; speedy delivery of order, always a huge plus for an establishment. The Classic Eggs Benedict was solid but not exceptional, as was the hollandaise sauce. The hash brown was perfectly cooked, very clean, not too oily and just the perfect picturesque golden brown color. Portion size was appropriate and not gluttonous. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. The food was good but the value was exceptional. Gratuity included, my meal with coffee was less than $20. The exceptional value bumped up my overall rating from a strong 3 to a solid 4-Star experience. I would dine-in again and would recommend that anyone looking for an exceptionally valued meal to checkout Metro Diner. read more

OMG! I discovered this on my last day in Augusta. I'm so so sad! I ordered the Chicken n Waffles. Please order!!!! AMAZING! Chicken was so fresh and juicy. Waffles were crispy on the outside and those books were perfect for their delicious secret sauce. My friend ordered the San Fran Egg Benedict which was so amazing! The portions were huge. Our server was so welcoming. If you are there, this is the place to eat. If I had known...it would have been the only place for me to eat. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Metro Diner - Belgium waffles with blueberries. - Diners Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Great food at reasonable price. They give you a homey vibe that reminds you of a typical neighborhood diner! The staffs are nice and they have an extensive menu as well. I visited the Metro Diner a couple times, once for brunch and once for dinner. I tried their famous Chicken & Waffle ($16), Loaded Chips ($6, chips with pulled pork, queso, and pickled jalapenos), Breakfast Pie ($9), Meatlover's Bfast ($10.50), and Mimosa ($3). Their serving is very generous, so it's a great size to share. The loaded chips was a good appetizer! I was surprised by how much I got for the price. Everyone recommended the Chicken & Waffles, so I had to try that one. The strawberry butter was a sweet and tasty addition to the chicken/waffles. However...I personally didn't find this menu special from other chicken/waffles I tried at other restaurants. The $3 mimosa was cheap yet tasted artificial. I guess I got what I paid for? Their pricing is reasonable, staffs are friendly, and the serving is generous. However, I didn't find the food to taste good even after giving it a second try. read more

When Metro Diner first opened, it was delicious and da-bomb. The quality of food, cost, and how much you got was such a bargain. We decided to eat here since we were back in town. I dreamed of how delicious my meal would be. We arrived around 7PM on a Saturday night. There was no wait time. The inside looks like a cute little diner. Points for homey decor. We ordered the beef tips, American burger, and the French dip. We were disappointed with the quality of food. The au jus was too salty for my taste. Hubster's burger was underwhelming. The bun was dry and the burger was unremarkable. My friend's beef tip was ok, but nothing to write home about. The table next to us had to wait a long time to get their fried chicken and then had to wait again for their steamed broccoli. I can't decide if the quality of the food went down or just a bad kitchen night. It's surprising considering if was not busy at all. read more
