Not only is the food good and brought to you fast but the servers and the rest of the staff are helpful, professional, friendly, and treat everyone with respect. Skye has been my server multiple times and she has a bright personality and almost unmatched humor. Many of the servers are very good at their job at Metro but Skye sets the bar to a whole new level. read more

I had such a great experience at Metro Diner! Their breakfast items are amazing. I ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of crispy hashbrowns with onion and cheese -- it was actually our waitress's recommendation, and wow... it was SO good. I will never order my hashbrowns any other way again! The atmosphere is fun and lively, and it's always busy, which says a lot. Definitely a breakfast spot worth the hype. I'll absolutely be back! read more

1st time at metro diner and I went with my famiLEE (4 of us in total). Our food came out super quickly and it was nice and warm. Our server was super attentive to our table and she did an amazing job! My parents got to try my brother's chicken & waffle for the first time and they were so fascinated by the combination I had a great time here and I'll be returning here soon. read more

This place isn't the worst or the best. The service was decent. The ambiance is stale, not very welcoming. This was my first time visiting and I wish I had ordered dinner food instead of lunch. My food was very bland. I had to sit at the table and utilize every possible seasoning visible to me...annnnd still didn't like it. My daughter said dinner food is better so I'll try it one more time at least. The food came out really quickly. That's a plus. read more

Metro Diner is always so chaotic feeling lol. Got seated quickly though and our breakfast food came out quickly as well. Atmosphere is very casual and it's always loud in there. Food was VERY bland. Like extremely. Service was ok. Waitress was nice but it was like she was checking in on everyone except us and it took forever for her to get our payment so we could leave. Saving grace for my visit was my free birthday dessert that I decided to go ahead and get. The chocolate cake is GREAT! This is the second time I've had Metro Diner though and I'm still not impressed. read more

This place is so good. I did not know it was a chain, but I still love it! The waffle is amazing we haven't found one that tops it. I like a traditional breakfast so I got the two egg breakfast, it was drenches in oils which I would prefer they do not do but it was still really good! The staff is nice, it's easy to get a spot, and a lot of available parking! read more

The food was incredible, the waffles were tender and delicious. The pecan coffee was amazing. The service was fantastic our server was attentive and friendly.

My husband and I went there because our son wanted a Monte Cristo sandwich. When I looked online this was listed as a place that sold them. When I didn't see it on the menu, I asked our waitress who said she had worked there for two years and had never heard of it. She did go ask the manager who said it was a seasonal item. We stayed because we're tired and hungry. I ordered the shrimp and grits with a biscuit on the side and my husband ordered the fish and chips. We called in a pickup order for my son at Cheddars for his Monte Cristo. My shrimp and grits were watery and there were hot spots/cold spots in the grits confirming it was just microwaved. The shrimp didn't seem done to me, there was very little sausage and it was chopped into tiny pieces. The biscuit was hard as a rock and was served with no butter, although there was jelly on the table. My husband said his fish was fine but the fries were cold and inedible. Columbus has some great places to eat, but we won't be back to this restaurant, it was an all around bad experience. read more

Awesome breakfast! Had a meat lover skillet bowl. Excellent food. Great service. I'll be back.

Nice diner! A lot of choices! We had dinner and it didn't disappoint . Service was average, could have been better.

Metro Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Great mimosas and grilled cheese. Great place to pop in for breakfast or brunch with some friends on a weekday.

It's a Tuesday evening around 7pm. At first the was no hostess, just had to wait a short moment while she finished help a customer that was seated near the front door. She was nice and seated me right away. A short moment later my waitress arrived and asked what I would like to drink and I ordered a sweet tea with lemon. I also ordered an appetizer of onion rings. They came out literally a minute or so later! I was actually surprised at how quick it was. Heck I hadn't even figured out what I wanted to eat. I went with the meatloaf and mashed potatoes with brown gravy and green beans. First off back to the onion rings! Man I love me some onion rings however usually they are sieved super oily/greasy, this were very crispy! Well cut homemade'esk size and plentiful, a huge side dish plate! It was served with a chilled house ranch, which I usually don't touch but it seemed like a house made as it wasn't watered down and looked a little thick. It was very good and different than the normal horseradish sauce. Excellent I highly recommend the onion rings!!! The meatloaf dinner arrived shortly afterwards. Presentationally it looked good just maybe a touch to much gravy but over all it looked very appealing. The green beans were not from a can and seemed fresh. To my likening they could have been cooked a minute or two longer but to most they would have been perfectly fine. I knew I could have ordered the meatloaf and mashed potatoes without the gravy but it's was their( metro dinners recommendation) not my waitress Alana. The gravy was very salty and I like my salt. It in my opinion ruined the mashed potatoes. They were mashed with the red skins included. Perfect texture! The meatloaf was a huge let down in my opinion. It didn't even look like real meat, didn't taste like it either! Looked like a prefab concoction from the freezer or something. Not that I know for sure! My waitress, Alana was a very sweet and helpful young lady! She made sure I had all I needed and replaced my iced tea with a completely new cup and lemons without refilling the previous like some places do. She was knowledgeable able the menu and answered all my questions and even afterwards we discussed the meal. It was pleasure having her as my waitress! I hope to see her on a future visit! I knew going in the meatloaf maybe questionable as I like mine a certain way. I've eaten here before and know they have lots of good food. I was blown away by the onion rings if you can't tell! I left my waitress a great tip 11 bucks for a bill that was slightly under 30! I wish more waitresses and waiters had her professionalism. She wasn't having a great day either and still had a smile and performing top notch service! I would recommend coming here just stay away from meatloaf lol! read more

Metro Diner was a disaster. My food came cold, flies were on it because I had no silverware (and I'm not eating sticky food with my hands). My friend's meal was 15 minutes late, and there's avocados everywhere on the menu but none to be found. Also, no syrup with waffles? Never coming back. Complete letdown. read more

Metro Diner - Biscuits and gravy, eggs, hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Gross! My over medium eggs I asked for were runny and snotty. There hash browns were cold and the biscuits and gravy tasted sour like the gravy was spoiled. Also the service was almost non existent. Waited forever to get our check as well... Don't go there. Waffles house is 1000% better. read more

Food was good. Served recommended the steak bowl and it was amazing. Now the coffee could be stronger. Service was fast and decent,

steak & hash bowl is the only thing I come back for it's flavorful & they always have the best tomatoes!

Went here for anniversary brunch tried the apple pie mimosa the sunrise mimosa the orange mimosa and a bloody Mary all the mimosas were very good. The bloody Mary was not even in my top 10 favorite. It was just very lacking a flavor and there was so much ice. There was hardly any liquid in the glass. We ordered the poutine appetizer we had to explain to the waitress multiple times that there is a poutine appetizer on the board. She stated she was new but when we said we wanted poutine, she kept saying cheese cards and we said no poutine so there was a little confrontation back-and-forth once we got the poutine. It really suffered from gravy and needed a lot more gravy a lot more poutine as you can see in the pictures however, the ranch sauce that came with it was sublime highly recommend. Husband got the huevos rancheros's breakfast and it was not even a great sea in flavor. It just tasted bland with a couple burnt chips really no filling it was 99% chips and the rest sour cream just not good would never order that again . Plus, I had a very sloppy presentation. I have the San Francisco eggs Benedict the positives are. It was a great poached eggs and hashbrowns were well and the components were there. The negatives are that was not holiday sauce that is nacho cheese sauce with some hollandaise powder in it completely smack in the face of true holiday sauce the tomato was so thick. You could hardly taste anything else besides tomato . The menu stated that there was sliced avocado, but I got mushy avocado on top of an eggs Benedict. Overall, not really impressed with this establishment only would come for the ranch sauce, which is really nothing compared to what we ordered read more

Thanksgiving food pickup was perfect. We had way too much food (yay for leftovers!!) and it was all very tasty. The staff couldn't have been nicer. My elderly father wasn't able to go out to eat so we chanced a pickup order. It really made a stressful and emotional Thanksgiving day so much easier to get through. When I went inside to pickup my order, the place was packed. All employees were working hard and being SO kind! read more

My nieces and I love touring in the summer. The 2022 season began here @ Metro!! Great service!! The wait servers were excellent, Jacklyn was training, and both were extraordinary. The food was excellent. My waffle and eggs weren't hot, but I'm sure it was timing, so I'm not complaining, just making a note. My nieces loved their food. One had what I term the basic Egg Breakfast, bacon, egg, and grits with toast. We love seasoning, so the grits needed salt and butter. No debate here. We are team salt, not sugar on grits. My other niece had Charleston Shrimp and grits. The dish looked amazing, and she said it was delicious. Jacklyn explained the dish as it comes with a twist, FRIED GRITS!!! Unfortunately, we took no food pics. We were hungry. read more

So Alyassa (I think that's how you spell it; was our server and she was absolutely FABULOUS. They were busy when we got there, but we only had to wait about 15 min to sit down (there was 11 of us) and we all still got greeted as soon as we came in! the food was amazing, it came out super quick and tasted delicious!!! I'm from Va but wish I lived here so I could frequent that restaurant more often. Absolutely wonderful and I loved everything about. I ended up ordering the burger bowl and subbed broccoli for the fries it was supposed to be served over..amazing. No or hassle with the modifications. Absolutely wonderful. I wish I could give them 10 stars!! read more

Metro Diner is one of the best family dining places in town. The menu is wide and everything is good. The veggie omelet is second to none, their hamburgers are big and tasty. They have an incredible hot honey chicken sandwich and the chicken and waffles are incredible. It's reasonably priced and the service is excellent. read more

7]\This was a nice and popular restaurant. Comfort wise, it would have been a lot better if we hadn't been put in the back room under the air conditioner vent. It was FREEZING! The waitress agreed that it was terribly cold in that room (in November!). 5/5 - Fried Chicken and Waffles: I didn't think this could beat out my favorite fried chicken and waffles, but the chicken breast was so tender and juicy that it would have passed for a thigh! That was amazing! Combine that with the excellent crunch and flavor and the strawberry butter and this is my new favorite! 3/5 - Biscuits and Gravy: Good biscuits but just okay gravy. Food comes out to 4 stars. I would totally bump it up to 5 for the amazing chicken and waffles, but then I'd have to drop it down 1 star for the freezing cold room. My advice: go for the Fried Chicken and Waffles and DO NOT sit in the back room and you should have a 5 star meal! read more

Took 15 minutes for the server to get our drink order, then tried to rush us through our food order. This place used to be awesome but something major has shifted the work ethic in here. Our server is Jessica, so far, not impressed. Waiting for our food to come out, she's gone by at least 4 times and my husband's tea has been empty the last 2 passes but she ignores us. Steller service (being sarcastic). Food came in a timely manner but Jessica decided we needed BBQ sauce on the burgers we ordered, we never said the word BBQ. Way to listen to your customer. The overall flavor was good but their cheese fries have very little cheese. Food was decent, service was subpar at best read more

Hannah was awesome she was very friendly and extremely enthusiastic. She had one of the best attitude I've ever seen at a restaurant. I would recommend her and Metro diner to my friends and family. It's refreshing to see young people with the attitude and work ethic. The world needs more people like her. Columbus needs more establishments like this one. So please if you are in the Columbus GA area come by and give Metro diner a sit down. The chicken and waffle are so good . We eat here almost every week now . The prices are extremely reasonable. read more
