The food and atmosphere is so relaxing and cozy. The food taste like Mama was in the kitchen cooking Sunday dinner! I had a special "Stuffing waffle" which was so good. I love when restaurants think outside the norm. Savory waffles have become my favorite way to have a waffle! Our server Shawniece was so helpful and attentive and was completely right when she told EVERYTHING on the menu was delicious! This right off the Circle, so super convenient. If you're in Dothan looking for some good cooking and a comfy place to eat this IS YOUR PLACE read more

Stopped by on a sunday at 12:25pm. Parking lot was packed, quoted 20 minute wait and notified at 12:48. Great table turnover, friendly service and hot food. Really the only decent restaurant we've been to in the area. Would recommend! read more

Prices are steep! Each time we've had lunch there their prices have been higher that most area restaurants!

Recently moved to Dothan and was happy to see an old favorite here. The food is always hot and tasty and the service is prompt and friendly. I've tried many menu items and have not been disappointed. The pot pie is my favorite but you can not go wrong with the pot roast, fish and chips or burger. And all of the breakfast items are first rate. read more

Absolutely amazing food and service. I was in town for a test and needed a spot to stop. Oh. My. Goodness. Their mimosa was delish!! Breakfast was spot on. Service was impeccable. Most certainly recommend. read more

The atmosphere is great, the food great portions for the prices. Chicken tenders are very good

Visited based on recommendation of my hotel staff. The hostess stand is situated deep inside- you have to walk through the whole restaurant to get to it. But after that, be glad you came! Sunday bfast at 8:30am... good traffic, but not packed. Everyone was observing face covering orders. Ordered a western omelet with hash browns, toast, and coke. Service was awesome and I had a plate on my table within 7 minutes of ordering. Everything was fresh and delicious. My only gripe was the toast was not buttered (that I could detect). Everything else was perfect. Highly recommend- and will visit again. read more

Metro Diner - Toast, hash browns, and western omelet. - American Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Bad start that almost made us leave... hostess sat us at a dirty table and when we asked to have it wiped down got a horrible attitude and barely wiped the table! However... the waitress redeemed it when she came over and cleaned it properly!!! I had the eggs Benedict with the avocado and it was amazing!!!!!! The pot pie however was not! It was soggy and over salted! But... the manager made it right and was super nice! Definitely someplace we will go again! read more

Ordered the Italian Meat Pressed Burrito, with a side of home fries. Both had absolutely no flavor, not even salt. The only thing that made the burrito somewhat bearable/flavorful was the marina that comes with it. Not only that, our server never once came back to check on us after putting in our orders, other than to give us the check. We even had asked for a glass of ice when we ordered our food, and eventually had to ask another server for it because ours was nowhere to be found. On top of that, our food was brought to us by a DIFFERENT server. Just ridiculous. read more

Excellent place for breakfast. We were from out of town and looking for somewhere different to eat. The biscuits and gravy rivaled my moms and our waitress, Mary, was so nice and helpful. Our drinks were never empty. read more

Today I really wanted fish! I had been wanting it for a few days and couldn't really think of where to go. I went to Captain D's and the line was ridiculous! Then I thought about metro dinner because I had their fish and chips before and it was pretty good. So I walked in, I was greeted, and was able to place my order in person. The hostess offered me a complimentary drink while I waited, a delicious raspberry tea. It honestly didn't take too long maybe 10 minutes for my order to be completed. I had an errand to complete before I could eat, but when I did get home, my food was still warm! The fish was nice and flaky and the fries weren't soggy. The coleslaw was tangy and the cocktail sauce was delicious on the fish! Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture before I started eating and an empty container doesn't really display the meal! read more

Searching for a reasonable country cooked meal, I came across the Metro Diner on Yelp. Checked a few reviews and star ratings and decided to give them a try since the one inJacksonville, Fl. is a hot spot for well prepared food and has been exceptionalized by the community. This is where the similarity ends and the need for competent and aggressive management begins. Walking in, I was greeted and asked about what I desired for seating. A beautiful southern day inspired me to sit in their enclosed outdoor patio area and immediately our drink orders were taken. During this process, I looked at the employees there and wondered why there were no identification name tags. Shrugging that off, made my appetizer order for one cheesey fries with jalapenos and real bacon pieces. Digging into the appetizer, all the fries were bare naked. No cheese at all on each one pulled. Like the fries on the bottom of the clump of cheese goo just would not combine or stick together. Our orders were made and each came out looking nearly perdect. The salisbury steak smothered in beautiful brown mushroom gravy with sauteed mushrooms and mashed red potatoes tasted great till I hit the undercooked portion at a very medium rare doneness. Lost my appetite for anything else. Overall, the place was mostly clean and organized. However, the reatrooms were unsanitary and unclean. Floors were covered from toilet to sink with human waste drizzle and boogers flung onto the walls under the sinks. The stinch from lack of appropiate disinfectant use left me feeling sick. Dine at your own risk. read more

I would recommend this restaurant to someone who didn't have hearing loss, and was able to hear conversation over the acoustics of that place. Edit: read the manager's comment. My review was little harsh. Food is good. read more

We had breakfast here previously, we only ate about half of the food,It was about $65 with tip. Trying lunch but it's a 45 minute wait. I tried the shrimp special and the wife had the turkey. It was another 20 minutes for the food. Definitely not worth the wait. There are too many places in Dothan to eat that have better service and food for the price. For a new restaurant its not very clean. We tried dinner and it was great. Our service was exceptional and the food was tasty. They are not as busy now as when they first opened and it made a difference for us. We will be back. If you didn't have a pleasant experience there you may want to try again. read more

The best breakfast in Dothan! Our favorites were the omelets, grits and pancakes. The service was excellent- we were in and out super fast even when they were busy. Highly recommend if you are looking for a yummy breakfast spot. read more

Customer service was great but food was not what I was expecting. I do applaud the quick service

On our way home to Panama City Beach from Atlanta. Stopped because of the reviews. Everyone ordered a French Dip. Daughter and I shared and had a side salad instead of fries, husband ordered mashed potatoes instead of fries, 2 16 year old boys had it with fries. Delicious. Our server was efficient and kept our drinks filled and the ketchup flowing-good thing-we all got fries plus our chosen sides! The halved my daughter and my meal onto separate plates-which was fantastic. French dips can be hard to share. The salad was perfect with ranch. We'll go back-no question. Location was also very convenient. No complaints! I'm glad we stopped instead of grabbing drive through. read more

There was nothing about this restaurant that I was amazed about, maybe the wait time? First time eating here I ordered the deep fried heart attack Monte Cristo. Not gunna lie, I was impressed. I have never had a fully deep fried sandwhich. I generally love monte Cristos but this one was just too difficult to eat. The second time eating here, I decided to do an eggs benedict which is my absolute favorite! And it was pretty basic. Overall I am satisfied I gave this place a shot twice but I don't think I would give it another try. read more

Go see Mary!!! Seriously! She is incredible!!! Great service all the way around. But Mary will just warm your soul! Oh! And the food was delicious! read more

Great food and fast service, highly recommended! We eat here all the time and the food and the service is always excellent! I highly recommend this place anytime you want a great meal! read more

Clean with very good food. Service is quick and courteous. Convenient location and good parking.

Our visit today was a HOME RUN!!! Our server Miranda was EXCELLENT!!!! We went there so our dog did not have to be left in the hotel!! The food was very good and we had 3 delicious plates all were delicious and big portions! Our dog even got some water with ice, he was a happy dog!!! All the staff we met were so kind and friendly. (We have a Metro Diner in Stuart, where we had evacuated from, and they don't hold a candle to this location....we've tried ours a few times, to no avail. Thank you Miranda, you made our day!!! read more

My wife and I just moved to the area. Today while looking for a place to have lunch, we passed Metro Diner and my wife asked, "what's Metro Diner?" We stopped and fell in love. I had the Bissell Breakfast and she had the Avocado Bacon Burger. The food arrived quickly and everything about our orders was right. Everything was delicious and the potions were generous. Our waitress, Pam, was friendly and attentive. Our cups never got half empty before being refilled. I can't recommend this place highly enough. I'd give it six stars if I could. read more

IMHO, I was disappointed with the service, the server, the portion, and the tasting quality of the food.

Some of the best diner food around. Love to come here for breakfast and dinner. Would recommend

Chicken and waffles are great! We always order tenders as the option. 1 meal is generous and would feed two, unless you are starving!

Great place! Cute diner- always consistently good food and service!! I've never once had a bad experience- large portions- I never go away hungry read more

Hands down best eggs Benedict!! Chicken and waffles another plus!!! Service is always great!

Our sweet waitress accidentally rang the wrong item in. I told the expediter that i received the wrong Benedict (usually I would not complain but I really wanted the fried chicken one) and almost instantly everyone came to apologize. I explained that it was not a big deal at all that I was just eager to try the other one. I did not expect an apology or anything! I wasn't upset at all! The manager gave us the meal and even gave us extra fries. The staff here went above and beyond to take care of something that I felt wasn't even a problem! We will definitely be coming back and the food was delicious! This is the kind of hospitality I wish all restaurants had. read more

Chicken and waffles was burnt, service was horrible. I thought more of this restaurant. It was a total let down.

Excellent service and awesome food. Pumpkin pancakes were so delicious! We were returning from a week on 30A and we all agreed that this was the best breakfast we had all week and it was 1/2 the price. Will definitely be a regular pitstop on our way to the gulf from now on! read more

Came here in January and I wasn't impressed at all... Came back yesterday, and they totally redeemed themselves... service and food were both fantastic. read more

My husband and I love the Metro! They have seasonal products on the chalkboard that you can't find on the menu. I loved their red velvet waffles and their cinnamon apple bread pudding. My husband always gets their chicken and waffles. It all tastes homemade, we definitely recommend it. read more

Best. Chicken. And. Waffles. Ever. They just opened and I highly recommend you come in and get your fix. Be patient as they get everything in order since they just opened. But I am so happy we finally have a real diner in Dothan! read more

Metro Diner - Can't wait to get in here and eat some chicken and waffles! - American Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Good food, good service... everything was cooked as requested. Pancakes were great but would have preferred the syrup to be warm.

The food was very good and service was adequate considering they just opened. Newer restaurants will usually turn over majority of their staff and the good ones will stick around. Looking forward to going back. I will say two things.... One- Why is the handicap parking in the back of the building. Not convenient at all and whom ever designed that set up should be fired. Two. The portions are HUGE! The food again was great but wow I have never received so much food on one plate. Come to find out you can ask for half portions. Left overs are always wonderful but if they can't be eaten I highly suggest asking for a half portion aka a normal size meal. read more

Fantastic Food, Spectacular Service and Awesome Atmosphere! This is hands down the BEST cafe I have Ever been to and that is saying a lot being we travel all over the USA all year. read more

Completely impressed! Everyone's opinions I've seen on Facebook since this place opened are spot on! We tried Metro Diner for a Monday lunch. Arrived around 11:15, sat immediately (on the patio which was nice and comfortable). Our waitress, Jeri, deserves rave reviews too! She was witty with my husband saying we were in a hurry to get to daycare by 12:30, said "does your teacher know you left?" And made sure we were out in time to pick up our child by 12:30. I asked for an opinion on the chicken and waffles vs chicken pot pie. She said the chicken and waffles was her favorite and best chicken ever. So, we decided to split the large portion of chicken and waffles. Added a side of bacon, and cheese grits. It was all super delicious, even down to the yummy strawberry butter! I asked Jeri if it's really butter or if it's something you could eat like ice cream. Turns out, it's real butter, so don't do that! Jeri is a great waitress! The manager also stopped by to welcome and check on us - nice lady. Food was delicious. Service and timing were great. Atmosphere was nice too, for our little lunch date. We will be back to try some of the many other appetizing-sounding meals! With knowing the portion size, we wanted to split something, and know there's many more things to return to try! Highly recommend! 5 stars! Especially for a restaurant that's still new and working out kinks probably. read more
