    The Metro Diner in Brunswick has been open for around three weeks. As a result, I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt with four stars and I definitely hope to be able to give five stars when I return sometime in the future. Base upon our experience, I would highly recommend that you eat at the restaurant and not do takeout. After we placed our to go order, we were quoted 10 to 15 minutes for the food to be ready. We ended up waiting over 25 minutes. It appeared as though some items were made quickly and other ones took a considerable longer time. For example, the Eggs Benedict was ready in around 10 minutes. The sandwiches and burgers with fries took another 15 minutes. So, while the fries tasted warm and well seasoned when we got home, the Eggs Benedict was not warm at all. While we sat in the restaurant waiting for our food, we made a number of observations. First, it appears as though the servers are well prepared, but the kitchen may be struggling a little. For example, not only were the wait times long, but the accuracy of the order was lacking. We had ordered two sandwiches and one burger, but we were given two burgers and one sandwich. Therefore, I would highly suggest opening the sealed bag and checking your order before you leave the restaurant. With all of that said, the interior of the restaurant is warm and inviting. They have a counter where you can dine alone or as a couple as well as many tables and chairs. Mallory and the rest of the staff were friendly. The next time I'm in the Brunswick area, I will definitely return to the Metro diner, and I look forward to giving them a second chance to earn a five star review. Cheers

    Ordered the grilled chicken Caesar salad and the chicken was dry and burnt. Our waitress, Alize S., was super super friendly and very personable. First visit probably won't be back.

    Belgian Waffle.  It was spectacular!

    The place is pretty good. Friendly service, that was probably one of the best service experience I have had in a long while. Great job B. M. The atmosphere was nice. Very clean and inviting. A nice surprise upon entering. Well laid out. The food was really good. From the cakes to the entrees, well done. Worth your time and money, if you're looking for a nice place to eat out.

I accidentally locked my keys in car, along with my purse, when planning to eat here. I walked in empty handed and explained my plight to the young woman serving as the hostess. She was an absolute pleasure and immediately stepped up to help. She checked to see if anyone in the back had a coat hanger and could help. Sadly no luck there but she then shared a name of a local towing company she was familiar with and recommended. After calling for help and receiving a 30 min ETA she sat me in Amber's section. I explained that my wallet was locked in my car but she took my order and shared a "burnt toast" concept that made me smile. The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean and pleasant in every way but what stood out the most was how helpful and kind these two were. Sadly, it took me a while to write this review and after a few weeks I seem to have forgotten the hostess's name. I can share that she was blond, younger and was filling in at that moment because she made the croissant that I ate. I've never eaten at a Cheddar's before but these two made this experience absolutely exceptional. I left a big tip for Amber but couldn't for my primary hero because she left for a Florida road trip before I could reach the cash in my wallet. I'm hoping her spectacular energy and intentions come back to her tenfold though...she truly saved the day for me!

I actually ended up going there twice this week- once for lunch and once for dinner. For lunch I had their Bombay chicken salad where the chicken is curried and on top of a cabbage slaw with a bright citrus vinaigrette. 3 small pieces of flatbread accompanied the salad along with a Fruit chutney that tasted like apple pie. I ordered an additional side of flatbread which came warm and was quite good with the chutney. The curry chicken is outstanding so I was tempted to have it for dinner later that week but decided to try their Bahamian curry which was excellent- a bowl of rice with curried chicken, sweet potato and kale. My husband had the special which was Mahi mahi Marsala and he raved about it. If that is on the menu next time I will definitely get it. The restaurant knows how to spice their food so definitely check it out. They do not take reservations but turnover seems to be pretty quick particularly at lunch.
