breakfast to go but I still enjoyed it. Ordered the meat lover omlette with hash brown extra grilled onions and mushrooms with wheat toast. My order was fast and friendly as usual and all the condiments and utensils were all in my bag.as I tell everyone call ahead or place your order online which I did. If you haven't already been here you need to go it's one of the better breakfast spots in town. Try the chicken and waffles really on point. read more

Metro Diner - San Francisco Benedict with jalapeños added - Diners Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

I'm from the area and decided to check this place out since I was in town. The place is VERY busy, I decided to go for brunch. But normally I like to be a restaurants early for breakfast, especially if they are busy. Anywho, I had the Bissell breakfast... and it was splendid! The server was great and friendly, and the prices were good too! I like the fact that it is opened later and serve breakfast all day. Definitely will return when I'm visiting again! Pro tip: sign up for their rewards program on the website and you'll 50% off your first entree! read more

The wait for the table on a Sunday afternoon was 45 minutes. The service was great and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I ordered the meatloaf based on the waiter's recommendation. That was not a good choice. The meatloaf was not very flavorful. It seemed to be half breading and half meat. I had to really salt and pepper it up to get some flavor in it. I saw people at other tables had ordered the chicken and waffles. That is what I will be ordering the next time I go. That meal looked AMAZING. read more

Varied menu with friendly wait staff. Food comes quickly and is tasty. They have seating at tables or booths. Hours are 8 AM to 8 PM daily. Worth the visit. I'm going back! read more

The chicken and green beans were good but the macaroni and cheese should be discontinued/be removed from the menu. The first time I had their Mac & Cheese I figured someone had a bad day. That was over three months ago. Today (7 Jul 25) I ordered what I always order and again the macaroni and cheese as a whole was stiff, some noodles were hard, had no flavor not even cheese, no salt, no pepper, and it was dry. Please consider removing it from the menu or consider using a different vendor for this item. read more

Great food. Good service. I would definitely eat here again. And the prices weren't bad either.

Visiting the area for business and saw online the good reviews, so glad we tried it!! Portions were huge! My boyfriend did the breakfast burger and he has a big appetite and couldn't finish it. Cheese curds were yummy! Fried chicken egg Benedict ... delicious! Fried chicken was not greasy which is great for us sensitive tummies. Most importantly... the service. Lorraine was our sever and was also running the bar and she did not skip a beat. I overheard other severs having conversations with locals that come a lot and it warmed my heart to hear how they truly care about their customers. Great job! read more

Great casual dining. Friendly staff. Good food! Will be returning if ever in a need for quick bite.

We found this diner today and what a delicious experience. We were greeted and promptly seated. The waitress was amazing and was very knowledgeable of the food. She did a great job offering suggestions when we were struggling with a choice. They have a gluten free menu upon request which is perfect for those with gluten sensitivity or allergies. Our service was prompt. Food: The philly cheesesteak on a gluten free bun was one of the best we've had. It was seasoned well, and the bun wasn't soggy. The fish was perfectly cooked. The omelet was fluffy and had plenty of cheese. The strawberry butter paired well with the toast. We saw several orders for their chicken and waffle. I kid you not, they could have easily fed 2 people! We were tempted to get an order for dessert, but we were stuffed and couldn't eat another bite. However, we plan to come back and try them! We live 2 hours away, but we are already planning our next visit. read more

Chain joint that serves breakfast all day can't go wrong with that! I ordered the Charleston Shrimp and Grits! I love fried grits!

Garnished with chopped bacon and Green onions. $16.99 read more

This location does get super busy!!! We know exactly when to come and we must say it's GREAT. We're always seated within 5-10 minutes. Customer service is always on point also. You MUST try the Chicken and waffle with strawberry butter. With a side of cheese eggs. Trust you won't need to try anything else. I even tried to make the strawberry butter at home, NOPE can't taste like metro. Great family location on Washington Road, wish they had another one in South Augusta read more

Horrible. I am here for just tonight. After driving all day, I ordered a Caesar salad through Door Dash. Whoever packed the order didn't bother to include dressing. Sorry, but Caesar salad is lettuce, croutons, and cheese. Without dressing its inedible. When we called about it the response we got was a nervous giggle followed by I guess I forgot to include it. They offered a gift certificate. What is the point? A gift certificate doesn't get me some dinner tonight, and I am too tired to go out to look for something. If I could give a minus star I would. If this place knew anything about customer service they would have sent someone out with the dressing or at Ieast offered to credit me back for the salad. read more

Metro has always been a great place to eat. We had not been in a while and went today. I'm not sure what has happened there but I only saw 3 familiar faces out of 15 working. The food was okay and service a little slow but what really ruined it for us was the expediter, Matt. I had asked for extra toppings for my cinnamon roll pancakes. They have 4 different things that they top them with. When the pancakes came, there was only a thin layer of icing and none of the other toppings. I was also missing the butter. I asked for it and finally received it. When the bill came, I was charged for "extra toppings". I would not mind if I had gotten extra toppings but I only got what should have been placed on the pancakes to start with. When I asked the waitress why I was charged for extra and she said that she had not put that charge on there. She said her manager must have added the charge (Matt). She went to ask him about why he added the charge as she knew there was no extra toppings to be charged for. He came over to where we were sitting and told me that I had extra toppings, ones on the pancakes and the ones on the side. He stood there and lied about the pancakes! He was such a jerk and the waitress told me that the always acts like this. Needless to say, no impressed and hope that he moves on soon. Sad such a great place has a jerk for a manager now. read more

my daughter and I visited " Where the locals eat " on Monday March 3, 2025. The atmosphere was nice enough. Not very many people , because it was early in the day around 3:30 or 4. My daughter had the Teriaki Salmon and I had the half rack baby back ribs basket. We both noticed early the food was not right. Later on that afternoon...... we were both sick and vomiting. All night long with what we felt was food poisoning. I don't know what happened here, but somebody needs to know this experience was terrible. I'm still sick and dry- heaving. Get it together people. read more

I'm usually not a chicken + waffles kinda guy, but these will convert you. Chicken was delicious -- not too much breading, which may turn some people off but to me it was fine. As for the waffles... sensational. Fluffy, soft, like eating a sugary pillow. The strawberry butter made the combination taste like eating the last few bites of a cake cone with strawberry ice cream. For dipping the chicken, they gave us a hot sauce-infused syrup which wasn't as odd as it sounded; somehow made sense and brought the items even closer together. read more

So so good! We were visiting Augusta and pulled up restaurants around our hotel. This one had a 4 1/2 star rating so we gave it a try and it did not disappoint. We walked in to a very friendly greeter who seated us very quickly and it was hopping in there. The gentleman that greeted us actually took our drink orders before we ever sat down. Our actual server that took our orders and served us our food was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is casual with some great music playing. We ordered the avocado toast and egg and the turkey platter. Both dishes were so tasty and satisfying. The portions were very generous. The menu has a nice variety. We will definitely come by here again next time we are in town. read more

The Metro Diner has grown considerably since its humble start in Jacksonville, Florida. Some things have been good since this growth. Probably the best thing is that a lot more people hot to try this what is now growing chain of diners and it is also offering a superior product to places like Denny's and IHOP (or International House of Pancakes to a few of us who remember that long lost term). One of the bad things is that with growth, they had to make some corporate decisions and one of them was to streamline their menu and one of the things to go was my favorite Metro Diner item. It was an incredible sandwich made of pork loin, bacon and spinach. Come on, you know it sounds incredible and let me assure you, it was even better tasting than how it sounded. There are still a lit of great options. You can't go wrong with their burgers and their breakfasts are pretty solid, as well. Most things on the menu are good. Service was good here, as well. I have been to multiple locations, including the original location in Jacksonville, and I cannot say that I have ever had poor service at any of the locations. If you are looking for a good meal, head on over to this location. They have plenty of great things on the menu (just not that amazing pork loin, bacon and spinach sandwich). read more

Always great service and even better food. My regular spot for Sundays but be prepared for a short wait--high demand.

I will always have a soft spot for local businesses. Super family friendly atmosphere. Each review you see whether on Yelp or Google Review, the owners reply back to each of them personally. Very thoughtful and sweet. Eating at a diner is one of the unique experiences you can get as a foodie. This place wins with its interior design/aesthetic. It feels very homey with a forest green kind of vibe that I had gotten in Augusta. Augusta is known for Master's Tournament (golf), so this diner adds to the Augusta culture. Another gem in Augusta with its rich history. Now let's talk about the food... 3$ mimosas: Honestly can't beat that price and it tasted great. A breakfast/brunch refreshing sip. 16$ Chicken and Waffles: This is what they are known for. Their signature. You get HALF A CHICKEN with a Belgian Waffle. Topped with powdered sugar and their strawberry butter (sweet and tasty). Who can't forget their signature sweet and spicy sauce too. Honestly a must try. The chicken and waffle itself is nothing special compared to other chicken and waffles you get from other places. 11$ The Bissell Breakfast: Two eggs any style, bacon or sausage (patty or links), toast (or breakfast muffin or biscuit), hashbrowns or grits, and a short stack made up of 2 pancakes. This is honestly a classic fill me up. Simple and a timeless classic. Honestly a mood. One thing I found unique was the pancakes, there's a little crystallized sugar/sweet bits as I ate through them. Atmosphere and vibes is good all around. Staff were all wonderful and the place was busy busy. Overall the diner gets my 5 star rating. Left happy and satisfied. Will definitely come here again. They do Military Discounts of 10% off and it applies to the rest of the party members too (just provide proof for one of y'all). Only suggestion is to work on the cleanliness. Compared to other diners that I been to, I would say to work on the cleanliness. The utensils were a little dirty/sticky. The shared stuff in the middle like salt, pepper, ketchup, and etc were very sticky. The table was a little sticky as well, so I had to wipe my utensils/table a little. read more

Came in super early on a Saturday as to miss the rush. We walk in and the kitchen staff holler to us to sit wherever we'd like. Being our first time there we were trying to find a table for 6. Eventually a waitress comes over and let's us know they have actual tables for 6 and that we don't have to push tables together. We sit and are greeted by the nicest and most relatable waitress I've ever had. I wish I remembered her name but my in-laws picked up the check and I didn't get a chance to see. In any case, she told us her absolute favorites, what was popular, and what specials they currently had. I end up with the Cinnamon Roll Pancake and my husband the Apple Streusel Stuffed Waffle. I wasn't super impressed with the pancakes but they weren't bad. Pretty underwhelming. I half expected the candies pecans to be soft, but they were crunchy. I also usually scoop the butter off pancakes but I actually enjoyed the cinnamon butter. My husband destroyed the waffle. He asked for light cream cheese but even then it was too much. He'd get it again, without any cream cheese though. He loved how fluffy the waffle was, and how generous they were with the apple toppings. We ordered a side of home fries to share and have the kids pick off, but it isn't something we'd really remember. They weren't seasoned, but a little salt and pepper made them taste better. We'd come back, maybe not on the weekend, but a return is surely in our future. read more

Metro diner Pros: food arrived fast * (see below) Overall the taste was decent Cons: Over valued - the price is high relative to the quality and quantity of the food/service The service could be better (especially considering the prices) Busy - if you get there after 0900 on Saturday you'll mostly likely be waiting The coffee was average at best BEARDO SCORE -- 6 - I encourage you to try Metro Diner, but remember there are other breakfast places in the CSRA. It's 0805 and the dining area is already bustling with my fellow breakfast enthusiasts. The air is filled with muffled conversations and occasional outbursts of laughter Metro Diner, one of the most reviewed breakfast eateries in Augusta. This is our 3rd or 4th time visiting Metro Diner. The decor hasn't change much. From the checkered floor tiles to the metal accented tables and further still to the bar with barstools harkens to some 1970s diner with waitresses names Fran. The service: I wouldn't call the service friendly. It is more of semi-formal interaction bordering on a curt back and forth. No time for causal conversation here! There was no "good morning!" or "nice to see you". It was "can I get you x". This type of customer service has been consistent across our multiple visits. You know that awkward time after your party is done eating and you're waiting on the server to bring the check.. yea that happened. No flavored coffee creamer - which I've found to be more of a standard offering at other breakfast places. I'm not sure if they limit the creamer flavors to promote their special more expensive in-house flavored coffee or other added costs to offering flavored creamer. Personally, I like my coffee a little hotter than what was brought to us. The food - I can't put my finger on it, but something is off with the food. Our dishes arrived at our table exceptionally fast... almost too fast. I suspect parts of our meal were pre-made. In a breakfast diner environment I fully expect for my meal to be made when I order it. If Huddle House can do it so can Metro Diner. Today I chose the Steak & Scramble Bowl. The Steak & Scramble Bowl is overvalued. The steak was tender, and amount was sufficient, however the taste was a little lacking. Unfortunately, the hash browns added very little to the bowl in terms of flavor or texture. In fact, the hash browns tasted like they were made well ahead of my order. The scrambled eggs were slightly above room temperature. You'll notice from the picture that the tepid temperature of the dish was not sufficient to melt the Great Value shredded cheese. The description said the hallandaise was drizzled on top of the bowl. You'll note from the picture that the "hollandaise" was globbed in a central location. Lastly, the contents of the bowl did not fill up the bowl. I also ordered a Belgium waffle. The waffle was good. However, at $7.79 it was a little pricey, especially considering the toppings or the lack there of. read more

Perfect lunch visit for us girls. Service was well above anything I would expect. Food was tasty and arrived quickly. Will be back soon.

This restaurant is a fancier Denny's with greasier food. I like it though! It has a mom and pop feel even though it's a chain. The food is delicious. I ordered the Monte Cristo, and it was pretty good. My OCD friend, who can not have her food touch, ordered the meatloaf, and the waitstaff was more than happy to accommodate her and served each part of the meal on a different plate. My one gripe about this place is it's cleanliness, hence the "mom and pop" feel. The silverware we received was dirty, in a Waffle House handwashed sort of way. But if you order a sandwich you don't need silverware. read more
