    Fried chicken Benedict
    Rebecca A.

    Solid 4 star diner. After having breakfast here twice, the service is always great and the food is solid. This last visit we had a party of 10 and everyone enjoyed their meals. Everything was timely, and hot. This was my second time getting a dish with their hollandaise sauce. It's not my favorite, so I'll probably not get it again. It has an aftertaste I can't pin point. But besides the sauce, all the other food I've had is great. The diner has plenty of parking and does a ton of to-go orders as well as being close to full capacity both times I went.

    Service was good and fast, food wasn't great. Coffee tasted like cheap Kuerig, or maybe it was REALLY old. Breakfast burger was so incredibly thick it was nearly impossible for my kid to eat and the bun was greasy, there was so much grease on this. My western omelette was good and kudos for using fresh mushrooms, but the hash browns were so greasy I had a couple bites and had to stop. Overall it was like a fancy Waffle House, which isn't terrible but it's not great either. J.Ja

    Spicy Honey Chicken Sandwich
    Mattie E.

    My son and I went for lunch. I got the eggs Benedict as I had never had it before and he got a grilled chicken sandwich. I wasn't a huge fan of the eggs. I had just started going Gluten Free so there were not many options but I have since learned how to substitute easier. I did eat Gluten on this day. I wasn't a fan of the creamy sauce. The hash-browns were amazing. Now, the sauce may be great as this was my first taste of Eggs Benedict so I don't have anything to compare it to. It just wasn't for me. My son really enjoyed his sandwich. I don't remember the price here but the service was good. It's clean and has that Diner Vibe to it. We'll go back for sure.

    What a cute breakfast spot. We had a large group on a busy Saturday morning but thankfully we were seated quickly since we opted to sit outside. With the sun shining and the heat lamps it was a perfect setting. Our waitress was great. Super friendly and personable. Everyone was super sweet and their customer service was truly top tier. I ordered the chicken biscuit and mac & cheese as my side. I know, it's not a typical mashup but I had a craving. The biscuit was delicious. Spicy & sweet although I would have loved a little more spice. And the mac and cheese was tasty. Nothing special, very reminiscent of Kraft. Overall, the visit was really enjoyable. I would absolutely come back and try more of their menu as they had lots of options.

    My husband and I tried Metro Diner today for an early diner. This is located in West Ashley in the shopping center with Ulta and Homegoods. This is a small diner with a super fun vibe. They had great music playing and everyone was upbeat. They serve breakfast specials all day. They also have sandwiches and entrees like meatloaf and spare ribs. I decided to have breakfast. I had the Avocado and bacon scrambled. This was scrambled eggs over hashbrowns with avocado, bacon and topped with delicious hollandaise sauce. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The service was fast and friendly. I liked that they checked us out right at the table. This is a fun place with delicious food. Cute and quaint diner/local vibe. I will be back to try the carrot cake waffles!

    I've been looking for a neighborhood diner and I found it. Usually I start off with complimenting the food, but I have to give it to the wait staff, this place has phenomenal service. Every single person we spoke to was a so friendly and helpful, they checked in on us. I love their seasonal menu items, specifically the pumpkin spice pancakes ... they were everything my fall heart desired. The only thing missing from this place is cold brew or iced coffee.

    My wife and I decided to give the Metro Diner a try. This was first time for us. We were welcomed and seated as soon as we walked into the restaurant. The menu had lots of great food and they serve breakfast all day long. I decided on the half rack of bbq ribs, with two sides. The ribs were excellent, cook to perfection. The coleslaw and the broccoli sides were delicious as well. Good food at reasonable prices. We will definitely go back again. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Spicy honey chicken sandwich with fruit side.
    Hen N.

    Fast service and amazing staff. Brian is the best server around. The establishment gives off the normal diner atmosphere with tables off to the side and a bar right next to the open kitchen. Food tasted great and came quickly. The fruit tasted great, and the chicken was amazing. Would love to try the other things on the menu next time.

    Dis

    Sadly I had poor experience . My guests and I all ordered the same Fish and Chips. I sent-mine back twice. It had an odd odor. It was an old smell. I changed to the turkey. Paired with lousy dressing and almost mashed potatoes with brown gravy , not turkey or even chicken gravy. Please skip these items. My meal was a great disappointment and ruined the occasion. One fish order had bones. What type of fish are they using? Poorly filleted. Dorothy the server did a good job and I hoped she wasn't rattled too much. I asked for the manager and she was great. She didn't charge me for my meal. The problem is the rarity of the three of us having lunch together.

    Delicious food at an affordable price. This was our first time eating at this establishment. My boyfriend received a coupon for 50% off an entree. We ordered the cheese curds (a special of the day), a fried chicken sandwich served with a garden salad. Everything was excellent and filling. I don't even need to eat dinner, that's how large the portions are. The place was packed and for a good reason. We will definitely dine there again. The hostess and waitress were very sweet as well.

    The food was flavorful and they definitely had enough options to satisfy families or large parties. Their kids menu was unmatched and the portions were also great for the kids. Dante was the manager there accommodated our little family for our entire visit. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be recommending them to out of town guests!

We came for breakfast and started with the banana bread with Nutella cream cheese -- absolutely incredible. We also split the cornmeal pancakes, which were so good we came back the next morning just to have them again. I ordered the B.E.C. with the home fries, and I can honestly say they may have been the best potatoes I've ever had in any form. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and they practically melted in my mouth. My husband had the turkey club and said it was fantastic as well. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and memorable. We loved it so much we went back the very next day. 10/10 -- highly recommend if you're visiting Charleston!

He also had a meal removed from the bill - it was brought out Luke warm unfortunately. Overall food was good everyone was happy with their choices. Burger didn't come with fries but was big enough to fill up an 18 year old boy. Salad had a great sauce, was a little thrown off with the cold waffle but it's supposed to come like that server said. The avocado toast was so good but eggs were cold unfortunately. It didn't ruin the taste so still recommend. Visited on vacation but I would go back and try other plates.

Happily, I was wrong! Everything went extremely well from the check-in experience, to the food, and the service. Our reservation was for 6:30pm but we got there a full hour early. They gave us a table immediately, no problem. Our server was Maisie and she was wonderful. Patient. Attentive. Super friendly. We ordered drinks and the Pimento Cheese Fritters. They were incredible! We also tried the She Crab Bisque and it was over the top! Delicious and full of lump crab meat. When Maisie brought us our first plates, she asked us if we were considering the pork chop, which is exactly what we were interested in. She said there were only two left and held one for us. This is the kind of excellent service she provided throughout the meal. The pork chop was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a wonderful wood smoked flavor. The whipped potatoes and roasted heirloom baby carrots were the perfect accompaniment. Nothing has changed inside or out since my last visit. The vibe is Charleston laid back and comfortable.

It was Labor Day and things seemed on the quiet side in town. The ambience was great and we were on the second floor. We got right to the libations (he had a Malbec and I, the cider they had available). And then the entrees - hubby got the shrimp and grits, that's usually my dish but I was glad he got it so I could taste. I got the fried chicken, with hoppin John over white rice, and collards. So good! And I wasn't even hungry but I had to test the "award winning" and "famous" labels on our dishes. The chicken is a huge serving - 4 pieces of juicy, tasty chicken - an entire quarter. The hoppin John was good - I just wish there were more hoppin John and less rice. Service was 5 star. Donte was a real treat and looked after us well. For dessert, I was hoping for bread pudding, but it wasn't on the menu, and everyone in the dining room was ordering the banana pudding so we got that to share. It is a large serving, enough for two. The presentation was cute, the taste was regular, and I didn't taste a hint of alcohol (it was a bourbon or some other alcohol).

I saw a woman who had just finished a conversation on her cell phone walking into one part of the L-shaped facility, so I followed her. "The host" asked whether I wanted to be seated inside or outside. I told him I had no preference. Landon, who became my server, then escorted me to the attached building, carrying menus and two glasses of water. Shortly after I was seated, Landon approached and asked if I would like a drink. I ordered a Margarita. Since I already knew what I wanted for my entrée, I also ordered the French Dip with French Fries. The French Dip arrived warm, but the fries were cold. When Landon inquired about my meal, I informed him of the situation. He immediately took the fries away. After I finished the French Dip, I received the fries. I do not know whether they were the original fries that had been reheated or a fresh order. Regardless, these fries were hot. Shortly afterward, the young man who had originally asked where I wanted to sit came to my table and removed my dirty dishes. Landon then brought me my check. Due to the circumstances, I was given a discount on my bill. Anyway, I did not hear either of them ask whether I wanted dessert. Perhaps because of my complaint, they just wanted me out. Oh well-- their loss! I really wanted to tried their Sundae! Landon again apologized for the cold French fries. He provided very good service throughout my meal, so I do not fault him for the kitchen's mistake. Based on the restaurant's L-shaped design, with two separate buildings and the kitchen located in one building while some of the dining area is in the other, I realize that meals may become cooler by the time they reach the table. Therefore, I would highly recommend requesting a table in the building where the bar is located. Lastly, serving water in a plastic cup, in my opinion, gives the restaurant a rather cheap appearance. Considering the overall setting, I would expect water to be served in a proper glass.
