    Chicken and waffles & Veggie Omelet
    Ally A.

    I came here for breakfast with my sister and we had such a great experience. Even though it was super busy, the service was friendly, organized, and surprisingly quick. We were seated fast and our food came out much sooner than expected. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and paired so well with the fluffy waffles. My sister had the veggie omelette, and it was fresh, filling, and cooked perfectly. Everything tasted amazing, and the overall atmosphere made it such a fun and relaxing spot. We left happy, full, and already excited to come back again.

    I was visiting my Mom here in Florida for the week . I am from New York where as everyone knows has a ton of diners . I was a little hesitant at first a diner in Florida ? Well my mom said she's been there many times and how good it is . So we drove the half hour to the Brandon location they have several locations. I ordered the roasted turkey dinner with stuffing and mashed potatoes. My mom ordered the Belgian waffles with fruit . I really enjoyed my meal and the portion was plenty . Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the gravy but no big deal . My mom enjoyed her hot fresh Belgian waffles loaded with strawberries and blueberries . My mom also ordered 4 Meals to go to break down for the weeks worth of food . Tara was our waitress she was very quick and very nice . Overall good experience I'll come back .

    DELIVERY: DOOR DASH. That being said, I was totally not impressed. My family and I ordered from there this evening. My youngest wanted a grilled cheese sandwich and talked him into green beans. The grilled cheese sandwich was extremely greasy, it has slid apart in the container before we ever got it. I talked him into trying it at least he did not like it and I tried a bite as well. He was right it was extremely greasy and a little bit burnt. I got him to try the green beans oh my goodness they were extremely long with big beans inside. It look like somebody had actually just dropped the green beans in a Boiling Pot of water. I got to cut those up and he ate about half of them this is a 15-year-old by the way. He was excited to have the pickle. He likes pickles so do I. Not this pickle it was hot and limp. My friend got the roast turkey in dressing potatoes and other green beans. She said the turkey was delicious the mashed potatoes were Brown and suspicious, and the dressing was too smooshy it was like eating cornbread mush she said. It was something her grandmother used to serve her for breakfast. She also complain about the green beans. I had the teriyaki beef bowl it had a good flavor to it the rice was nice the sauce was delicious my only complaint on this one was there was too many green onions on top. Need to listen to say I am embarrassed I even thought of getting food delivered from there. The 15-year-old will be getting McDonald's I guess Lord explain to me why I'm trying to get the people to eat healthier and that just once I like to have a restaurant make something decent I don't care how much it cost. I'm tired I wanted to have a nice dinner and it's just doesn't happen.This is the roast beef with dressing and mashed potatoes top left hand side was the gooey cornbread dressing lower right hand side was the brown Mashed Potatoes

    First time visit to this location, I've only been to the one from DDD in Jacksonville. I was pleasantly surprised to see there was no line on an early Sunday morning. The location is nice and a large parking lot. The server was friendly and didn't rush us, even after we stayed and chatted for quite awhile after paying. The food came out hot and tasty.

    Salad

    My eggs Benedict which was good but this is the 3rd time I ordered a salad and it looks like this. I love this place but $15 for a salad and my lettuce looks like this.......

    This soup! Chicken noodle! Available daily! Piping hot and so flavorful and comforting! November 2025

    I went in because I was hungry and curious. I came out happy and thankful. This cute and classic diner is in the same shopping plaza as Homegoods and Aldi... on the northeast end, in the old gym location. There's tons of parking and despite being near the busy Lumsden and Providence intersection, it feels peaceful. I stopped in on a Friday morning around 8:30 and immediately liked the ambiance. It's bigger inside than I expected-with lots of light flooding in the windows. They had some fall/Thanksgiving decorations up. It was just so welcoming. And so was the gentleman in the spectacular egg-patterned pants who showed me to my seat. He's a joy. Then came my incredible server, Danielle. She's top notch! She was warm and friendly, gave me some background on the place (so appreciated!!), some tips on the process and suggestions on meals. I felt so empowered to make good decisions. She checked on me often-brought refills of Diet Coke and sent me home with a fresh one in a to go cup. (She gets me!) I can tell you, this franchise started in Jacksonville and blew up when it appeared on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." It's known for its fried chicken and meatloaf. And you can order anything off the menu, any time of day. Which reminds me: the food! I ended up going with the fish fry Friday. Two pieces of fried fish, french fries, it comes with coleslaw but you can sub out for that (I went with green beans) and on Friday, you get a cup of soup or a house salad. I went with the chicken noodle soup-which is always available (they also have a soup du jour) and *excellent! I ate every drop. Those green beans were great, too-good snap! Most of the fries were good-slightly crispy/perfect amount of salt-but the last few weren't quite done. No matter. The fish was fine-generous portion. I thought the prices were very fair and it was so clean and cozy in there. All of the specials looked intriguing... and I really want dig into that breakfast menu. I think you can even get mimosas! Cheers to Metro Diner!

    Chicken and waffles with strawberry butter. YUM!
    Theresa R.

    Let me start by saying I'm not really a breakfast person but this place is an exception for me. The food is fantastic and the service is reminiscent of good ol' southern hospitality! The restaurant is bright with plenty of seating. The chicken a waffles is a must try!

    Nashville chicken meal

    Came here with my fiancé on a Saturday morning. It was pretty busy. We had to wait about 1520 minutes to get seated as expected. One thing I did notice upon entering the strong smell of chicken and waffles. It smell delicious once we got seated the waitress explained that they are known for their chicken and waffles. I personally did not get them, however did see others who had it and it was huge and looked phenomenal. It had some sort of strawberry butter as well. I recommend the cheese grits here. I would say they are the best cheese grits I have had in a long time. They do serve the breakfast and lunch menu all day. I recommend the chicken biscuit eggs Benedict. We are looking for a good breakfast or a brunch spot. Metro diner is it I will definitely be back.

    From entering the door it was a pleasure. There was nice music playing and was nicely lit. The atmosphere was great. I was greeted and taken to my seat. The staff were so friendly and helpful with recommendations. I can say that they were spot on. The food came out fast, fresh and hot! When I tell you good eating , that's exactly what it was. We ordered the chicken and waffles along with the 3 egg platter. It was more than enough for the two of us. Please think about this place when you're searching for a good meal. You won't be disappointed!

    Blueberry Lemon Pancakes
    Michelle H.

    Great service, affordable and tasty food. All of my favorite things! I had the blueberry lemon pancakes that were on special and it was so delicious. It came with a lemon drizzle (not overly sweet) and blueberry butter. This is a great spot for classic breakfast.

    Metro Dinero chain has always been good to Us! At an affordable price you can expect plenty of delicious diner favorites. The menu also includes some rotating seasonal items and a few unique diner options. Our service was great and the kitchen was able to modify our lunch selections with no issues.

    Chicken stuffing waffle and Western Omelet
    Tim C.

    First time at Metro Diner and we really enjoyed. I am a bit biased against all the breakfast restaurants we have. Many are just the same blah food for way too much money. This is a place I will come back to. Service was fast, friendly and food was good. It was busy when we went but things still moved quickly. I tried their stuffing waffles. Made with stuffing so they were savory. The variation I chose had 2 huge chicken tenders covered in sausage gravy. This was very good. Chicken was great, super crispy and moist inside. The sausage gravy was flavorful and was a nice blend with the waffle. We also had a western omelette. This was very good. Fruit that came with was good and fresh. Sometimes "fresh fruit" is not good, but Metro was not that way. Nice and crisp and we finished. Also came with a homemade biscuit. This place is definitely one of the better breakfast options in the area. We will be back again due to the great food and service.

    Bissell Breakfast
    Dr. Richard M.

    Stopped in for breakfast on a weekday around 9am. Restaurant was busy, but there was not a wait. This is part of a chain which has consistently good food and service in every location that I have visited. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. My favorite is the fried chicken & waffles. You can get all dark or white meat. These are not tenders, they are legs, thighs, and breasts. The Bissell breakfast is another favorite. Other menu items include all kinds of pancakes, french toast and waffles. They offer salads, meatloaf, shrimp&grits, burgers and sandwiches. The portions ate large and food very good. Plenty of parking out front.

How nostalgic! It is amazing to see small businesses stay in business for so long. That is really telling to the product and the service. I loved the old school feel of the establishment. Everything now a days is so modern and rigid, but not this place. You really feel like you are thrown back in time. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. It also had a drive-thru. Upon entering, we were greeted right away by the 2 young workers behind the counter. I had been craving a rainbow sprinkle ice cream cone so badly. I ordered a waffle cone with vanilla soft serve ice cream covered in rainbow sprinkles. It was so good. The cone tasted fresh and cracked nicely so you know it was not stale. My mom ordered a scoop of ice cream in a cup and she also gave it rave reviews. Many people visited while we were inside enjoying our ice cream so you know its the place to be for dessert!
