    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.

    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.

    Western Omelet
    Justin J.

    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

    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.

    Update: We returned to Metro because it was so great last time!!! Again the food, service & whole vibe within Metro was spot on... absolutely delicious & exactly as we wanted!!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

The hostess took my phone number down and said she would text me to let me know when our table was ready. Since this location is in downtown Charleston, it was easy to wander around outside and keep ourselves entertained until I got the text that our table was about to be ready and we had 10 minutes to check in. Once I checked in, we were seated immediately and told to scan the QR code at the table to see the menu. A few minutes later, our server came by and asked if we wanted coffee or other drinks. After she came back with drinks, she took our order. I got the cornmeal pancakes. They are made of cornmeal so they had a different taste than what I was used to with pancakes. It wasn't a bad taste. They tasted like a combo of sweet, but also savory. They also felt very light so I didn't feel overstuffed after eating them. Because of how busy they are, they got us in and out in less than 40 minutes. There are signs at the table to not stay longer than 90 minutes, but this was no problem here. Just something to keep in mind to not hang around if you're done with your meal and you see a giant wait outside. As we were leaving, other people were being quoted about a 45+ minute wait. Since it's in downtown Charleston, there is no dedicated parking lot. However, there is street parking available nearby. As someone that cannot parallel park, I went the safe route and parked in a parking garage that was close by. I paid $4 for that. Overall, great breakfast place and quick service!

There must have been a miscommunication between staff members, because after we were seated, nobody came to serve our table, and we had to ask for a server. We weren't the only people that this happened to, as another group of patrons sat next to us, and then got up and left after not being served for an extended period of time. After flagging down a server, the experience was fine, but nothing spectacular. Out waitress wasn't very attentive, which was a little frustrating because we were on a timeline. This was kind of disappointing, because I really did like the ambiance of the restaurant, and it would have been nice if the experience was representative of that. They had a really cool open-air brick oven for pizzas, and I loved the aesthetic of the bar as well. Luckily, they had a few IPAs in a can, and my friend said that their drink was pretty good as well. All-in-all, Toast! All Day was a cool restaurant, but the poor communication between staff members kind of put a damper on the experience. I would be willing to come back and give it another shot in the future, however.
