First time at this Metro Diner. There are tables and booths with a nice patio area as well. I like being able to see the kitchen. My boyfriend raved about the chicken and waffles. I got the 3-egg breakfast with over-medium eggs. I was really disappointed with how runny the whites were. I ended up not eating my food and taking it home to cook the eggs more. The sausage and hash browns were good too. The gravy tasted homemade but lacked a little flavor. I ordered a Bloody Mary and it tasted like a $6 Bloody Mary so I can't complain on that. Prices were average overall. The decor is cute but the place is clean. The bathroom was also clean. Our server was nice and attentive. Overall good experience, i'd go back.

A morning appointment at a doctor in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake created the need for lunch, which I normally skip. We had previously tried two different eateries after morning appointments. Both spots were crossed off my list for repeat visits. The choices remaining were recommendations from a good friend who lives in the Grassfield area or a Yelp search for nearby places with good ratings. I chose Yelp. Metro Diner was close and on the way home. The location is a small strip center facing Volvo Parkway. Because there's no curb cut from the south, enter by a side street that loops behind the 7-Eleven to Volvo Commons. The eatery serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu included an extensive breakfast/brunch menu. Dinner items also were plentiful. But the number of true lunch selections was limited. I ended up ordering the Fish & Chips from the dinner menu, substituting green beans for the fries. Coleslaw also came with the dish. I was served 2 large pieces of fish, enough for two meals. They were good as were the green beans. The coleslaw was excellent & exactly to my taste. It's really hard to find restaurants that serve coleslaw the way I prefer. My friend had pancakes & bacon, which she proclaimed to be good. I loved the ease of paying by credit card with a small terminal the server brought to the table, The spot appeared to be popular, especially at the time we visited. Metro Diner will go on my list of approved "after doctor" eateries.

Bissell platter
Sameerah B.

I visited Metro Diner located in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake recently on a Saturday morning.  The atmosphere is what you would expect from a typical diner with a mixture of booths and table seating. They were busy and had a few customers waiting to be seated but since I was solo dining I was seated right away. I found the waitstaff to be very friendly and attentive, however my meal did not meet my expectations and left me feeling disappointed based on reviews I read.  I ordered the Bissell Breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, home fries, croissant French toast, and a side of fruit. There was a bit of a wait for my order, so I was disappointed when the food was not hot when it arrived. When ordering I specifically asked if the eggs were fresh-cracked and was told they were; however, the texture and taste suggested liquid eggs. Additionally, the home fries lacked any seasoning or salt, making them quite flavorless. Finally, although the waitress highly recommended the croissant French toast, it was only dipped in batter on one side, which was disappointing. After sharing my experience with a friend she suggested that I return to try the chicken and waffles, I am hesitant to make the drive back to Chesapeake given this experience. If you are in the area, please stop by and try the chicken and waffles and let me know if it is worth a return visit.

Me and my Brooke best friend a.k.a. my daughter went to Metro diner for breakfast. There's always a wait so we knew we were gonna have to wait we put our name on the list sat in the car got called up in about 2530 minutes. We were seated, we were told that our waiter will be Caleb didn't know who Caleb was, but I watched the gentleman that turned out to be. Caleb walked past us about two or three times about 10 minutes later a couple was seated in the booth in front of us where Caleb proceeded to greet them and bring them drinks about five minutes later where he came along and greeted me and my daughter finally, we ordered our food which took an extremely long time to come out, but I kind of figured because the place was packed with a waitlist as usual food was OK. The last time me and my girlfriend went. The grits were a little better this time. They were a little thicker and not seasoned like they were the last time I ordered the home fries, which had no seasoning this time so I don't know who was in the kitchen, but they need to go back to training. I guess they I thought they were cooking for a retirement home where seasoning is not encouraged the fact that I had to repeat two my waiter items that I needed that he kept forgetting at the end I did ask him could I have ice water to go since my water that I have been drinking was halfway done with no ice. He literally brought me an empty cup with a lid. At this point I had had enough my daughter had already taken the keys and went to the car I was done at this point so needless to say I'm gonna put Metro diner on the back shelf for a while and revisit this in about six or seven months just to see if they've improved or declined.

Chicken Tender Plate
Cindi W.

Came for lunch after church with my husband and our friends. We got there early and were able to get on the waitlist while we waited for our friends. 20minute wait on Sunday afternoon isn't bad. It was my husband's first time here and I had only been once several years ago. There were so many options it was hard to choose. I decided on the chicken tenders with cheese fries and broccoli. My husband was going to get the fried chicken meal but copied me and got the chicken tenders too lol. Our friends got the avocado breakfast sandwich with fruit, which was one item I was considering lol. Our other friend got the fried chicken Benedict. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The chicken tenders were seasoned well and the broccoli was cooked perfectly. Definitely a great spot for breakfast or lunch!!

If you're in Chesapeake and craving a hearty breakfast or some comfort food, you should give Metro Diner a try. The staff is friendly and the service felt relaxed but attentive. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was and it came out pretty quick. Everything tasted freshly made and cooked with care. My favorite are the pancakes and coffee. Ambiance is a typical diner set up with booths and tables for larger groups.

Menu

Stopped in after Dr. appointment since it's right on the way home and revues looked fairly good so we thought we would give it a try. We were greeted upon entering and seated immediately. Our waitress was very friendly and took our drink orders and left us to look over the menu. Noise level was a bit high and made it difficult to carry on a conversation and even hear our waitress. I was in the mood for breakfast still and ordered a short stack of pancakes and a side of bacon. Of course I had to have coffee. Everything was good and our waitress brought out a container of warm maple syrup for my pancakes.she was also very good about checking with me for coffee refills. My friend ordered Fish and Chips. Her meal came with coleslaw and French fries but she substituted green beans for the fries. Her meal was very good and the two pieces of fish were very large. After eating one piece and the sides, a box was requested to bring the other piece of fish home. We will probably return when in the area again but we both agree it will more than likely be when we are both in the mood for breakfast.

Veggie omelet

Seated quickly. Staff was nice. Service was fast. Food was ok, was room temp to warm though. I would go again if in the area but otherwise it was just alright.

Huevos Rancheros
Chelsi U.

We wanted some late breakfast so we stopped in for a bite at the metro diner. The service was great. We were seated immediately and the waitress was super sweet and quick. I ordered the huevos rancheros because it's my favorite thing. Their take on it is a bit different with what I'm used to. They fry the tortilla and then top it with the toppings. I wish there was more black beans because that's really my favorite part of huevos rancheros. There were like 5 beans on there LOL. The crispy jalapeños were REALLY good with it though. I'll still rate it high because it was pretty tasty.

Chicken and waffles with strawberry butter
Angela L.

Can't even tell you how much we loved it here. We decided to do a Christmas Eve breakfast here anna we LOVED it! The waitstaff was exceptional, very welcoming. The food...oh my God! The waffles were so fluffy. And HALF A CHICKEN with those waffles!? I could spend an hour taking about the strawberry butter. We also had the chicken eggs benedict, which was awesome! The cinnamon bun pancakes with candied pecans was to die for. Thankfully we have leftovers! This place is exceptional! My new go-to!

Chicken platter
Lora J.

Come often love the fried chicken plate. Spouse enjoyed the ribs. The waitress was friendly and accommodating to correct my sidedish. Ambiance cozy place a good place to bring family. Noise level ok

Waiting area

Came here once to pick up food and another time, I ordered delivery through their Olo service. The first time, I got the steak tips with green beans and mashed potatoes. First thing I noticed was the dish size was tiny and the weight was light. The steak tips were overcooked and the meal barely satisfied my hunger. The next time, I ordered delivery due to heavy rain and not feeling like picking up the food myself. I ordered the chicken tender plate with onion rings, side salad, and a biscuit. The meal took a long time to arrive 1hr 20 minutes after ordering but that may have been due to weather and traffic. The food was highly disappointing. The chicken tenders were small, didn't come with any type of sauce (lucky I had Chick-Fil-A sauce on hand), the onion rings were ok, and the biscuit was also okay but a little dry. I wasn't that satisfied with either of my meals and I honestly only ordered the second time because they gave me a 50% off entree and I was hoping the next meal would be better as Metro diner does get many good reviews but that may just be for their dine in service. I will probably not be back to this location or any other ones as there are too many much better dining experiences in the area. Overall, I was just pretty disappointed with striking out at Metro Diner.

I went in just before 9:00 AM to catch their breakfast specials and was honestly so excited to try…read moretheir fried rice. When we walked in, the sign said to seat ourselves. The waitress who helped us was incredibly nice and took the time to answer all of my questions. Unfortunately, my excitement was cut short when I went to order the #6 breakfast special and found out the fried rice was pre-made with ham, and there was no option to get it without meat. Since the fried rice was out, I pivoted and ordered the #1 Special: 2 eggs (requested soft scrambled with cheese) 2 pieces of bacon (asked to hold the bacon) White toast Home fries Side order: Egg rolls to go The execution of breakfast was pretty disappointing. The eggs weren't soft scrambled, the cheese on top wasn't melted, and the home fries were very hard. To top it off, the whole plate came out at room temperature. I didn't make a fuss or send it back because it's a small, family-owned restaurant and they clearly have a lot of loyal regulars who love them. Overall Verdict: Breakfast Food: 5/10 Egg Rolls: 7/10 The service alone makes it worth giving them another shot. While breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I would definitely return to give their lunch menu a try.

We decided to stay close to home and headed over to The Egg Bistro, conveniently located just across the street from us.

My wife ordered the Chicken Salad Wrap with a side of onion rings, and she thoroughly enjoyed her meal. The onion rings arrived piping hot with just the right amount of seasoning, perfectly crisp and absolutely delicious. The Chicken Salad Wrap was fresh, flavorful, and every bit as satisfying. I ordered my favorite sandwich on the menu: a BLT with scrambled egg and Pepper Jack cheese on sourdough bread. It comes loaded with a generous portion of perfectly crispy bacon, which is always a treat. The lettuce and tomato were garden fresh, and every ingredient came together beautifully. I enjoyed every single bite of this incredible sandwich. If you're looking for a great place to enjoy breakfast or lunch, be sure to check out one of the several Egg Bistro locations in the area.

We do and after finding that being altruistic can make ya hungry, we started our hunt. We don't get this way often so we were using Yelp to help us out. And it guided us here, to Poppy's. Where they have the friendliest employees (and diners!), the best shredded hashbrowns (Breanna asked us if we wanted onions & throwing caution the wind we said sure!) and onions. Hubby opted for a meat sandwich, and yes, it is perfectly named, and I got the western omelet. The omelet was huge and tasty with equal parts onions, peppers, ham and lots of cheese. I was on the fence with French toast and boy am I glad I went with the omelet. There's just something special that griddle cooking adds to an omelet that takes it up a notch, plus, those onion laden hashbrowns were worth mentioning again. Hubby said his meat sandwich had so much meat that he could have skipped a few meals and still have enough meat to last days. The place was very busy. We snagged the last available table and with there being only one chef, we had quite the wait. Breanna made sure we weren't ignored and when our breakfasts arrived, we dug in and devoured. This is a little far from our house but soon as we left the man asked me when were we going back. As a wrap up, diner fare devotion at super reasonable prices (you get alot of food!) with happy, friendly people. Get there early, take a book or someone whose company you enjoy and settle in as you may have a wait that is worth it. Oh, we got all that food for less than $25 (not counting tax and tip). I would add this as a place to have diner delicacies.

I ordered the fish with sides of broccoli and onion rings. right out when the food arrived, the onion rings and fried fish was sitting in the broccoli juice. you could see the oil on the fish. Obviously the oil wasn't hot enough. one piece of fish was a total loss due to the soggy coating sitting in the broccoli juice. i rescued most of the other piece of fish and 3 of the 4 onion rings. (same reason). Broccoli very good, needed salt, BUT the salt in the shaker was stuck, lots of humidity i guess? after banging on the table, it broke loose enough to use. speaking of high humidity, the fan blades were drooping, a definite sign of wiping the tables but not drying them. Anyway, the wait person offered a replacement piece of fish. when it came out, no standing oil crisp breading on the outside. i guess they left the heat on to the fryer. Only 2 of the booths has covers on the bulbs. the rest had bare bulbs (covered in dust). Obviously the dining room is suffering from neglect!

Just something to keep in mind if you're visiting in the summer. The back patio does not have air conditioning. If you sit by the large front windows, be prepared for the sun. The building faces east, so by late morning the sun is shining directly through those windows. I was sitting with my back to it and was so hot. I probably could have asked them to lower the shade, but it's something to consider when choosing your table. Shana was our server, and she was great. Friendly, attentive, and checked on us regularly. Now for the best part. The sorbet mimosas. We ordered two, one with mango sorbet and one with lemon and raspberry sorbet, and they were incredible. If you come here, these are an absolute must order. We started with the fried green tomatoes. They were good, but they were clearly made from frozen slices rather than fresh-cut tomatoes. I ordered the salmon cakes with eggs and a pancake. Everything was delicious. No complaints at all. The food easily earns 5 stars. The decor has a classic old-school diner vibe with black and white checkered floors and chrome accents, which I really liked. My only real complaint was the bar seating. If you're on the shorter side, the stools are not very comfortable. The seats are not very deep, there is no foot rail to rest your feet on, and since the stools are bolted to the floor, you cannot scoot in to get comfortable. The backs of my legs started going numb, so we moved to a table as soon as one opened up. Ironically, it was the table directly in front of that hot window. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Great food, excellent service, and those sorbet mimosas alone are worth the visit. Just be strategic about where you sit if you're visiting on a warm, sunny day.
