Stopped here by recommendation and it definitely did not disappoint. The manager was so generous and gave us the best recommendations! Western Omelette, Beef tips, and a pulled pork Mac and cheese waffle (don't knock it before you try it) OH AND DID I MENTION $2.99 MIMOSAS AND BLOODYMARYS ALL DAY LONG read more

We had a very good experience at the diner for lunch so we went back for supper. While dining at lunch our waitress, Pinkie explained that if we made two visits in one day we got a discount. What's not to love about that. The food for lunch was great. We both had chili and for supper we both had specials which were Salisbury steak and crab patty green salad. Both were amazing. We had Pinkie again for supper which was great in itself. Will definitely be going back and asking for our waitress. read more

Great spot that checks all the boxes. Friendly staff, great variety on the menu and tidy. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Breakfast served all day- 100% recommend. Serving size and quality were spot on. Pricing was pretty standard on items and ranges to fit many budgets. read more

Awesome food. Feels like southern home cooking. Price is really good and they cook the orders really fast. I suggest the shrimp and grits.

My first time coming here the food was good but there was a hair in my drink ruined my first visit and I haven't been back

How do you review a place that serves good food but has the music so RIDICULOUSLY LOUD that you cannot have a conversation without YELLING.

My co-workers and I like to order food from here and bring it back to eat at work. They give you a lot of delicious food for a decent price!

For an area that has few diners, this was top notch. Breakfast was awesome. I hade the blueberry pancakes and the blueberries were fresh, the bacon was crisp and I was a happy girl. My husband had a fish fry which he enjoyed. It can get very busy, but we go only during times we know its not busy. Its a little pricey but worth it. Can't wait for next Sunday! read more

Fresh brewed coffee and flavored tea daily! Daily specials and large portions! Chicken and waffles is a must!

Do not go! The food is overpriced and bad. Management definitely had no since of good diner food at the Dothan location. I ordered the shrimp and grit cakes. 4 bites of that shit and I was done. The absolute worst meal I have ever eaten. Although the manager comp the family's meal, he was obviously to busy to come talk with me. The waitress was outstanding and the food was promptly served but the quality lacked in every aspect of what food should be. Do not go here. If you want diner food go to IHOP. Your wallet and stomach will thank you. read more

Really nice staff and great tasting comfort food. Would give it 5 stars if eating there everyday didn't result in early onset type 2 diabetes. read more

Ok, this place is awesome. I love the fried grits. The chicken and waffles is pretty special, also. As soon as you have a chance you should try it. read more

This is my husband and I favorite restaurant in Dothan! We always have great food and great service here! Thank you Metro!

The grilled meatloaf and smashed potatoes were great!!

Went day after Christmas Day. Had a party of 3 , including a 7yr old. All had breakfast. Our food was hot and quick and delicious and our service was great! Absolutely no complaints. A+ read more

Great place to have a meal !! We were in Dothan for business and had time to kill, Went to Metro Diner !!We are from Panama City Florida!! Our Son lives in Jacksonville Florida!! We had tried the one In Jacksonville Florida and loved it !! Was greeted first off and seated very quickly!! Restaurant was very clean !! Bathroom was Awesome, no sharing have it to yourself !! Waitress was very nice and did a Awesome job We order our breakfast of Eggs, Hashbrowns, Bacon, Pancake and TOAST !! Everything was perfect except the Toast burnt to a crisp. Waitress was bringing our drinks and we were joking and telling her to make sure the cook is not MAD and burning our Toast, well it was our toast and it was burnt to black. Sent it back and they sent Toast that was not browned !! Did not eat it !! Finally got our Hashbrowns !! Other than the Toast and waiting on our Hash Browns, everything was great. Large portions also. Easy to access to get in We tipped our waitress due to she could not help what the cook did , she did her Best. Will return due to Love Metro Diner but please for The Love Of God get a new experienced Chef read more

I was so disappointed. We travel all over the county for my husband's job and to us a diner means great food. Metro Diner threw diner in the name but it's just a restaurant. I am being generous and adding a star because of COVID 19. I understand all businesses are struggling and working with what they have. This was our first time there. We were seated and handed one paper menu to share. I'm not sure if they were going to throw it away when we were done or what, it was just a piece of paper, yet it was printed with color and resembled what was online in their plastic menus just a very limited menu. What I had seen offered previously was not available. We asked for meat omelets, I chose hash browns and a English Muffin. My husband chose fried potatoes and toast, and he had sausage patties. We asked for butter, jelly and sugar free jelly and syrup. To me there is nothing worst then serving hard butter! How are you supposed to spread it. I didn't receive my sugar free jelly. He did receive his sugar free syrup. We go to eat the food and they had cooked the eggs and then add the toppings we chose after. I have never seen an omelet like that and I don't ever care too. You try to take a bite and you are losing your ingredients! On top of that, by not cooking the ingredients in the eggs they don't stay warm so everything was cold! We were both disappointed. They had plenty of waitresses, and not many people but we had to wave ours down to get a refill. It's sad because I was looking for a place with great food, comfortable and quite to eat after my doctor appointments. This is not it! My suggestion, learn to make an omelette, encourage your wait staff to be friendly. Yes these are crazy times all the more to have them show a smiling face. Even if people can't see them smiling, it will show in their cheeks and eyes. If they say Hi and do you need anything? It hoes further then walk around or standing around. With everyone wearing mask people are along the personal connection and we need to work on that! read more

The chicken and waffles are amazing. Get them to put hot sauce in your syrup. It's a very unique twist. I've also had their breakfast, monte cristo and burgers. All exceptional! read more

Great food and even better customer service. We ate dinner there recently and two of us ordered the chicken pot pie. When it came, we ate about 1/4 each and didn't find any chicken, so we lifted the crust and found that it had all been tossed on the top of the filling in the middle of the pies. The waitress saw us looking and let her manager know there may be an issue. He took both off the bill (they were great once we found the chicken) and apologized, explaining that is not how they should have been prepared. My wife had the club sandwich, which was crammed with meat and accompanied by some fresh, crispy fries. We'll definitely be back when we're in town. read more

5 stars for the food....minus 2 for the loud music... Its a restaurant, not a strip club.

Pulled into parking lot with over heating vehicle. What a pleasant surprise when my friend and I saw diner sign. While waiting for vehicle to cool down, we ordered lunch. We told waitress that we had never been in a Metro Diner and what had happened to my vehicle. As we were waiting for our lunch, a very nice lady came up to our table and asked "which lady had car problems?" I told her that I did. She smiled and said "mam, lunch is on us". I couldn't believe my ears. It is so sweet and nice that there are still businesses that are thoughtful and helpful to someone who is having travel issues. We were 70 miles from home. Thank you again Ms. LaCanda (sp), mgr., and Miranda, waitress. God bless you! My friend and I will be spreading the word that you work at a wonderful diner, plus the food is terrific. Did I mention the Blueberry Cobblers are HUGE. Can feel 2 or 3 people! read more

we love eating here! we dine in almost weekly! sitting on the patio is our favorite place. service has been hit or miss but recently it has gotten better! food is always excellent!! read more

I have to eat gluten-free, so I was skeptical of a diner. However, Metro had good great gluten-free menu with a lot of options. It's nice to see a gluten-free menu with more than three things on it. I had the Philly cheesesteak. It was really good. I'll definitely go back and try the burgers now than I know the buns are good. read more

We sat down at 655 and had our food by 705. Absolutely fast, fresh and amazing food. My husbands shrimp and grits was delicious, hot and the gravy was pretty good. My philly cheese steak was extra cheesey and was cooked outstanding. It also came with a pickle, which I always say you aren't at a proper sandwich place if you don't get a pickle with your sandwich. The peach tea was amazing like fresh and perfect! My waitress was outstanding and super sweet and even gave us some ideas on what's the favorites in the place. She was just an amazing waitress. The diner must treat their staff well because they were all in good moods and super kind. I am so glad I decided to eat here and will def be going back read more

Best lunch! I had the "chicken salad salad" and my husband had fried chicken, all dark meat. Both were excellent! Their coffee is delicious and they gave me a cup to go. read more

Great food. Wonderful friendly service. Sat outside with our two small dogs. We were made to feel very welcome.

This place was amazing!!! I had the meat lovers omelet with toast and hash browns. It was cooked to perfection, with a fluffy egg, crispy bacon, and amazing link sausage. There was so much food I would probably share a meal if I went back. 10/10 would recommend again. read more

My husband and waited until the grand opening flury died down. I ordered the chicken and waffles and he ordered the meatloaf. ...it was a long wait, and the restaurant was not full... The server was awesome, if fact, the whole atmosphere comes from the friendly servers who enjoy working together. ...My waffles were cold, therefore the "strawberry" butter did not melt. So glad it didn't, it was the taste of the Nestle Quick artificial strawberry drink I drank as a kid and didn't like. No real strawberry tasted, so I had to ask for butter, which was a whipped spread on the cold waffles...I never send stuff back, it's not a safe thing to do. She warmed the maple syrup, which is just corn syrup flavored with maple. I only use pure maple syrup, I can't stomach the other. So I only ate 2 of the waffles and gave the rest to my husband. The chicken...incredible. Really hot, crispy, a little bit of a kick in spice. I would go for just chicken. The meat loaf...nothing like Cheesecake Factory or homestyle. Not enough flavor, low quality beef. His sides were okay. The coffee was okay. The friendliness and the chicken made it a place I will one day go to. But we have a lot of places to choose from. So, I don't know when that will be. It's never on my mind since we tried it. I think that says something. read more

Had a late dinner here while staying in Dothan. Meh.......it was ok, but nothing great. They serve breakfast all day, so I had an omelet which was good, but the biscuit that went along with it was as hard as a rock. The waitress saw me struggling to crack it open and went and got me another. It was as bad as the first one. We also had a Greek salad......again, not bad--but nothing amazing. We grade restaurants and gave this one a C+. read more

Visiting (from Orlando). After a short 5 minute wait to be seated, server (Courtney) took our orders quickly and was very attentive. The Western Omlett, Eggs Benedict and Bissel Breakfast were all outstanding. The food and service here was absolutely superb; rivals the best mid-range restaurants in greater Orlando.

Well, we went back for a follow up to see if maybe they were just having an off day...sad to say not. There was a 20-30 minute wait that was completely understandable - it was Saturday morning. They take your name and number and are supposed to text or call when it's your turn to be seated. After seeing several couples seated that arrived after we did (one that was called by name because they were on their phone and didn't respond), I walked inside and was greeted and I asked how much longer did they think our wait would be. The hostess said we'd already been called but didn't respond. We were right outside and never got a call or text. We also did not get called verbally. The hostess became confrontational and another lady (the one that called out the name of the other diner) came up and seated us. The food was just ok this time but the restroom was clean and that's very important to me. read more

I can't say enough about the food and service here at Metro Diner. Passing through to see our son at Ft Rucker's and stumbled upon it. The food was fresh, delicious and served with a smile. We felt welcomed the moment we walked in the door. read more

Neat place with delicious food. I love the diversity on the menu and the quality of the food. I've never been disappointed with whatever I got! read more

I went there with a friend for lunch. We both ordered the French Dip. It took an exceptionally long time to be served for which our server apologized at least twice. When finally served, the food was nothing special. It was not particularly tasty, just run of the mill. The fries were the frozen variety so they got hard as they cooled. My friend's assessment was the same. Nothing about the experience caused me to feel like I would go back there in the future. read more

Really really good home cooked-esque food. Huge portions for the price so that was very satisfying.

They just opened and we have been 4 times. It isn't consistent yet. One day you go and biscuits are amazing and the next they are over cooked same with hash browns. Some days you have super fast service other days not so much. Food is pretty average but the service staff is SO nice. We keep going back really because we loved it the first day. It just hasn't been at that level since. We are chasing that high. read more

Without question, this is the Best Diner style food in the country. I travel the entire US, and I am always looking for the local mom and pop places, I hate chain restaurants. The food, the service is outstanding. Also the cooks work very well together and you can tell they love their job. If you don't eat here you are missing out on an truly American diner. read more

I've been 3 times and it's amazing. First visit sat inside A little cramped but for the second visit decided to sit outside in the patio was great but 3rd time decided to get take out. Food Togo there isn't that great seem like it was thrown together. Other than that it was great read more

The Bold City burger ranks up there with one of the best burgers that I have had. Highly recommended!
