Some of the best fish & chips I've ever had, my only regret was that there were only two filets. I didn't care much for the coleslaw, it just didn't taste right in my opinion, but the fries made up the difference. The wait staff was extremely friendly and on time, my tea never reached the bottom, and next time I'm getting extra filets! read more

I popped in for a breakfast on a Sunday morning. Igor the special which was lemon blueberry pancakes. They did not disappoint. The ambience was loud this visit. So I put my ear buds in. The waiter was super attentive, when he saw my earbuds in, he check on me using hand signs. The coffee is always fresh and alwys good! read more

Erin was a great server who promptly took our orders, checked on us throughout our meal, and was polite and friendly. I ordered their "Steak and Scramble Bowl". This consists of seasoned sirloin steak, scrambled eggs, and roasted grape tomatoes, served over hash browns and drizzled with hollandaise sauce ($14.99). I also ordered my preferred breakfast drink - coffee, black, tyvm. My entree came out piping hot and was very good, however I have to say the sirloin was a hit and miss. About half were tender and juicy, while the other half were a disappointing tough and chewy. Minus 1 Star for lack of consistency. The accommodations are comfortable and the noise level is minimal. It made for an enjoyable experience. Definitely worth visiting read more

I was really impressed with this breakfast diner! I've been to plenty of diners where they're nothing special or the food is mediocre at best. I ordered the steak scrambled egg bowl and was expecting a skimpy portion of chopped up steak (think of chipotle bowls), and instead got a generous portion of large steak bites! They were well-seasoned juicy steak bites. The eggs were soft and not rubbery or overcooked. The hash browns were a perfect amount of crispy and flavorful. I highly recommend this dish (the server recommended it too). The service was fairly quick and there's ample parking. This place is a chain restaurant, but I would recommend if you want a simple, delicious breakfast. read more

Great Service, I got a BBQ Bacon Burger with American cheese, with a side of Mac and cheese. Inside of the place is nice and overall a warm and cozy atmosphere. read more

In town for a family function and we had to stop back by for breakfast. Arrived around 10am on a Saturday as was able to be seated within about 7 minutes. My husband opted for the chicken and waffle. This is a huge order! It includes both white and dark meat and a total of four pieces of chicken and an entire waffle. He also opted for a side of scrambled eggs with cheese. Chicken was tender, felt there could have been a little more seasoning on the chicken batter. Waffles were tasty, a litttle sweet for his liking, but they were still good. I opted for the southwest bowl which is a scrambled egg bowl over hash-browns with salsa, avacado mash, sour cream and beans. Really tasty and a perfect portion size! I left feeling full but not stuffed. Great service from Whitney - very pleasant and super friendly. read more

Excellent location, excellent menu, excellent food, excellent service. That's all you need to know about the Metro Diner

Great selections, tasty food, good service. Went here after a long day of traveling. My husband was quite pleased.

From the pecan pancakes to the club sandwich, you can't go wrong with this menu. The service is great!

This is a very popular spot for breakfast brunch, with huge portions of so so food. Stick to breakfast items because the other things on the menu are mediocre at best. Maybe it's because of the high volume of traffic but the restaurant itself didn't feel clean. It's hard to feel good about what you eat when the restaurant feels dirty. We won't be back. Much better food and ambiance elsewhere. read more

This diner is quite quaint. It has a pretty good variety of food on its menu. One item is not on the menu but is written on the board of the wall is the pot roast that's my favorite there. I've tried several other items there that were OK but my go to is a pot roast read more

Very cute, clean place, we chose to sit outside on their nice patio. We were seated right away.We had a wonderful server named Janice,who did everything right.

We were traveling through the town of Dothan, Alabama and feel so lucky to have found Metro diner. read more

My husband and I ate at the Metro Diner on 9/30/25 in Dothan at 2 pm. I ordered the beef stew with mushrooms, it came with mashed potatoes and green beans in a bowl. My husband got the teriyaki chicken in a bowl with rice. Mine was delicious, the beef was very tender and favorable. He said his was just Okay,, The restaurant was nice and clean and the waitress was very cheerful but didn't offer extra tea. The prices are a little steep here. read more

Our first visit to the Metro Diner for lunch today was a great experience. Our server was Mary, she was great as well. Very informative, she knew the items on the board when you walk in, so pleasant to have such great service these days. I had breakfast items while my husband had the chicken and waffles, which he really enjoyed. I had told him I would like to visit again when my appetite was better. We will be back and will be asking for Mary! read more

We ate at Metro for Mother's Day brunch. It was very busy, and raining. I was able to get on the list, sit in my car, and I received a text when our table was ready. Easy Peasy. Our server was Janice and we will ask for her every time we go. She was friendly, efficient, accurate in taking our orders, and gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. Even though the place was packed, our food was served quickly and hot off the line. Go Metro! read more

The food was really good, home made, and fresh. The servers were sweet and friendly. The food came out quickly despite it being Easter Sunday. Just what you'd expect from a diner. read more

great service! food was excellent and very reasonable priced with good sized portions. we have been in Alabama 10 days and have ordered shrimp and grits in two other occasions (Birmingham and Montgomery) and very disappointed. my husband gave it one last try and can say the shrimp and grits here did not disappoint! They were excellent and huge serving! the meatloaf was also good. so glad yelp led us to this place! read more

Service was very good with just the right amount of attention. I have dined here numerous times over the past four years; it's a favorite spot because the food is always good and I never leave hungry. Could only eat half of my club sandwich and enjoyed the second half for my evening meal at home. I also took home a generous serving of strawberry shortcake bread pudding, an unusual take on an old fave. Re: ambiance...pretty nice for a diner! read more

Great little diner with a good menu. The staff is excellent and very attentive and extremely friendly, didn't have to wait long for our order. I had the BBQ bacon hamburger and my friend had the spicy chicken burger. Both were excellent with generous portions and crispy fries. Will definitely stop by again the next time we breeze through Dothan. read more

Good food and great service! Portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. Always eat here twice a week or more. read more

So disappointed! I'm from out of town, and asked a local where to eat. They gave this high marks. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits - hey, it's the South, they should nail this, right? Sigh, no. Flavorless grit cakes, bland and heavy gravy, and what seems to be frozen precooked shrimp that were just tossed in. I'd ordered it pickup - if I'd eaten there I would've certainly sent it back! read more

I ordered tonight from Metro diner. I have been ordering form Metro diner for years now ever since they first opened. Well the main thing that I ordered the shrimp and grits were missing upon delivery. I reported to uber eats and they said that the item was not eligible for a refund. then I called uber again and somebody. They told me it would have to be escalated to somebody else. so I don't know if I'll get a refund or not, but I had to pay for my food all over again through Uber Eats because I'm disabled and not able to get around like I use to. I called and spoke to the manager Danial and he was very nice. He even offered to talk to Uber Eats and explain that they had forgotten to put it in the bag, but I was so looking forward to my dinner. I re-ordered and when it got here the second time. There was not only one but two shrimp and grits with a note apologizing. And that made me feel so good that they took that upon their self to do that. Because it's uber eats responsibility to take care of all of that not Metro. Even though they forgot to put it in the bag. Danial saved the day so not only am I having shrimp and grits tonight I'll have shrimp and grits for tomorrow, so I got a double blessing. I absolutely love the food at Metro dinner it beats everywhere else in Dothan. Thank you Metro diner and Danial the store manager. I really appreciate you. Thank you so very much. read more

What a fantastic little find. We had done a weekend get away to Florida and decided to do the scenic route back to Georgia. That took us through Dothan. And looking for available lunch spots, I found the Metro Diner. I had the Turkey Plate and my better half had the Chicken salad. They were both fresh and delicious. The customer service was fantastic and we loved every bit. Was a really pleasant find. read more

I absolutely love the food here. Everything is always so tasty. The plate presentation is phenomenal and you can't beat the service. Everything about this place is amazing.

I love the way the restaurant is decorated. I can't wait to come here again. read more

GABBY IS AWESOME food is good it's a short wait nice dinner little loud but over all it is a nice environment

Fast, Friendly and Awesome!!!! Traveling through and was very impressed with the service, environment and food. Would recommend definitely!

Incredible food. Nice atmosphere. Great service. This place was a wonderful treat for us to stop at for an early dinner on our way through Dothan. The grit cakes in the shrimp and grits were SO CRISP. The whole meal was incredibly well-rounded in texture, presentation, and taste. There were crispy bits of bacon and grit cake, tender shrimp, fresh green onions, and incredible creamy sauce. The andouille was not particularly flavorful, but the addition of smoked sausage was nice. I didn't think the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green beans looked too awesome, but then I tasted them. Those are worth it for true foodies to try. It's comfort food with flare! If everyone in the country had tried this, we'd have thanksgiving at least two or three times a year. I'm so glad my mother ordered the turkey. I wouldn't have even thought to try it. They also have a great drink selection too: Local beers, mimosas, Bloody Marys, sangria, wine, etc. Definitely worth the stop if you're passing through! read more

We visited the Metro Diner in Feb. 2022. We were on our way to Florida and wanted a nice spot to get out of the car and take a break. Service: Our service was good. Casey was our waitresses and was pretty attentive. We did have to ask for drink refills a few times. She was super polite! Food: We had the Western Omelette and the Chicken Finger plate. The omelette was very solid, while the Chicken Fingers resembled that of something we'd get at Zaby's. That's not an insult - they were good. Just not fantastic. Drinks: We got a Water, Diet Coke, and Coffee. The water had an odd taste to it. I'd pass. The Coke was normal, and the Coffee was okay. Drinks are $2.99ea Bathrooms: Pretty clean - no complaints. Do note - all sanitizer stations were bone dry - if you care about that sort of thing. Other: the Cooks seemed to really enjoy their job. Seemed very happy and was cutting up with each other. Wi-Fi is pretty good. read more

This was my first time going to a Metro Diner so I got the chicken plate with no changes.... Mash potatoes and green beans. Let me just say this plate didn't disappoint. A generous portion of chicken and was breaded just right and cooked to perfection. Crispy and juicy. The mash potatoes were very good. Almost as good as my wife's grandma. That is saying a lot. The green beans had some sort of spice on it that was different and very good. The waiter was very friendly and checked on me several times during my visit. I am not sure if all the other metro diners are this good but I would definitely recommend this one in Dothan AL. Hats off to the cooks and staff. read more

Came upon Metro Diner to have breakfast. I did not know this but this place was featured in an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. In the waiting area you'll see pictures of Guy Fieri and the owners of Metro Diner. I had the meat lovers omelette with wheat toast and home fries. The omelette itself with very delicious and fluffy. The home fries were also delicious. I wish I knew what food was featured on the episode of DDD. The menu I was given was a brunch menu. I should have asked for a breakfast menu but I was pressed for time. Last minute I heard their very popular items where the stuffed waffles. Will try next time. Great atmosphere and service as well read more

They were busy but we still received excellent service. This was a low-key place to bring our baby and toddler. We felt super welcome. The food was a little above average - pretty much what you would expect at a place like this, but I felt that it was a good value for the price. read more

This place gets busy! The food is solid! I had a veggie omelet minus the tomatoes, crispy hashbrowns, and wheat toast. All of it came out piping hot. My omelet was missing one of the items but it was still good. The coffee was fresh tasting. Our server kept the mug full which I really appreciated. She was friendly and attentive. My suggestion would be to get siracha hot suace. I will definitely come back. read more
