    Stopped in for breakfast with a friend. Place was busy but we were seated right away! Staff was pleasant and attentive. Food and conversation were good and we checked out easily. Great food, great service and friendly staff

    Cooking wit Prim Hot or it's not Hot Review: Taste: 8.5 Presentation: 8.5 Price: $ Item: Chicken and Waffles Food: The chicken was perfectly cooked and had good crispy crunch, lightly seasoned but not bland. A half of a and came with a spicy sauce that was bearable and not extremely hot, although it didn't look great it tasted good. The waffle was delicious and came with a strawberry colored type of butter that was on point. I mixed it with regular butter too, syrup was also delicious. #cookingwitprim. Atmosphere: I sat at the bar, not much space there but, made it work, there was only three seats there but you can see the kitchen and the cooks working, that's always pretty cool. Can't comment on the tables too much but they looked typical from the bar. Service/Staff: Waiter was pleasant and efficient, cooks also engaged with customers seated near the bar It's Hot but Not Hot @cookingwitprim

    Fried Chicken & Waffles

    Metro diner was introduced to me on a quick weekend trip and I had a good feeling about it solely off of how busy it was which isn't a bad thing. Business may be booming but they get you in and out quick without suffering the quality of their food. Chicken and waffles was what was recommended and the flavor was on point seasoned to a tee; the hash browns didn't disappoint neither. Their mimosa flight was solid, almost wanted another one but I had to behave honestly. Overall the atmosphere was really homey of course and Id love to make another trip soon.

    This is my favorite diner to get breakfast food! Since they closed the one in Richmond, on my way back home from going out of town; I remembered metro diner was in the area and we stopped by to get some food. It was exactly how I remembered it! There was a small wait, it gets really busy in the mornings. We sat down maybe after 20 minutes. Got the mimosa flight and some chicken and waffles with hash browns. The waffles are sooo good and I love the strawberry butter they put on top. Chicken was cooked perfectly and tasted great! It really reminds me of an old school family owned diner and I always feel comfortable there. I'm so glad I am reunited with this gem. Every time I'm in Fredericksburg I am definitely going to stop by!

    I thought it was ok - I had the avocado toast with eggs which it was a simple breakfast so it's hard to judge off that but I liked the seasonal pumpkin waffle so that was good. It's a decent clean breakfast place with lots of options.

    This is the first time we have been here. My son wanted pumpkin pancakes so we ordered and picked up. The pumpkin pancakes and waffles are very delicious. The staff was friendly and it was ready for pick up when promised. We will come back and try more food.

    I put the wrong address in maps and ended up here for dinner on 5/15. I took advantage of the breakfast all day. I had a hard time deciding because everything looked bomb. I ended up going with the chicken Benedict and the special, which was a short stack of the banana pudding pancakes. Everything was delicious but the pancakes were AMAZING!!!!! I've already recommended them to my coworkers. On top of the fantastic food, Amber was my server and she is a true gem. Kind, honest, and caring. Couldn't have asked for a better diner experience.

    Great food consistantly. Only issue is that the "metro to go" lane is in the pathway of the diners booths so there is a constant flow of door dash types that are either passing the tables or literally leaning on the booth that I was sitting in. The food here is always delicious but they need to move the pick up station away from diners as they are eating. Its not sanitary to have people constantly walking past the diners food. It seems that they could set up the pickup station towards the back of the restaurant.

    It was a Sunday brunch for the two of us and it was very busy. The staff was personable and friendly as well as efficient. The manager was outstanding! The restaurant was clean and has a fun vibe to it. The food. In a word: superb. My husband likes to order biscuits and gravy for breakfast and they didn't disappoint. I ordered the small savory grits and shrimp which was delicious. We took home dessert and it was sweet amazement on a plate. This has become our new favorite diner in the Fredericksburg area! Next time I will take advantage of the bloody Mary's or perhaps a mimosa...

    Chicken and waffles
    Tabitha H.

    The diner was a cute establishment. Started with poutine fries the gravy was really flavorful and the fries were deliciously seasoned. The cheese curds varies in size some were stick. The side salad was really big and they give you a lot of dressing. The Philly was yummy. The chicken and waffles was a huge portion. All the food came out HOT (except the salad). The server was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.

    Delicious spread of beef bowl, and vegetarian omelet as well as side of Belgian Waffle
    Aliya A.

    The food, service and ambiance were great at this restaurant. Our server was very nice and attentive she gave us very good recommendations. I ordered beef steak bowl that has hash brown, scrambled eggs, grilled tomatoes, and hollandaise sauce, and it was delicious - highly recommended. I also had a side order or Belgian waffle which was great too. My mom orders veggie omelet and she loved it too. Overall great experience and will return soon in future.

Our bartender/server was Lashone and she was funny, fast and friendly! She was pouring drinks for the ENTIRE restaurant and didn't miss a beat!! The breakfast menu is small but everything sounded fantastic. I chose the Steak Tacos; my husband chose the brie and bacon frittata (added by the chef since the quiche was sold out. Steak tacos were delicious (see pic). Menu said they had steak, cheesy scrambled eggs, tomato salsa, breakfast potatoes and cilantro. I didn't see or taste any potatoes, but the tacos were still delicious! I'd only recommend draining the salsa through a sieve because of the excess juice affecting the integrity of the tortilla. My husband's frittata was awful. The eggs were dry; he compared them to "eggs at the bottom of the warming tray at a cheap breakfast buffet." The chef also served a side salad alongside. My husband asked about subbing potatoes and Ms. Lashone made it happen. She was the star of our brunch: drinks were delicious, the conversational quips were quick and funny. She was attentive without being intrusive and made sure we felt welcomed and taken care of. 5 stars for her and my food; 1 for the frittata. I don't want to average it and tank the rating. We'll be back soon to see Lashone!

It gets the job done for being a hotel and that's about all I can give it. Beware the parking experience is a little strange as it doesn't have a visitor lot and has to be valet so if you have a car be warned. The rooms are nothing fantastic, they feel very early 2000s which isn't bad but isn't great either. I feel the bathroom could use a remodel because the sink drains were clogged, and the bathroom felt very outdated. The room was spacious though with two queen beds, a chair and very cold A/C. It also had a nice tv in the room too. Beds also felt very comfortable which is nice for a hotel. I definitely would consider this hotel again now that my expectations are a little lower on what to expect. The hotel bar was always dead without anyone around, but the lobby in it of itself was very spacious and accommodating. I also really enjoyed how many things that were walkable around downtown Fredericksburg from the hotel. A ton of breweries, the river front, and restaurants were all within a mile to walk which made it a breeze. It's a very small town with not a lot going on during the week but it did the job.

On the other hand, there were several small things that needed maintenance (a small hole in a wall, some peeling wall paper, etc.) and you can hear everything going on in the hall. Also, the restaurant is okay. Their menu is a company-wide menu for Courtyard hotels. I had the loaded breakfast tots every morning. These are pretty good the first time, but after the third day I was kind of over it. Also, it cost extra to add scrambled eggs. Main complaint was that there were few gluten free options for me for breakfast. I would rather stay in an Air BnB.

Theres plenty of parking and they have a small area for outside seating. As you walked in, there's plenty of seating, they have an open kitchen concept, a side room for special events or meetings (25 people capacity) but it's their mission that caught my interest as cashier/ hostess Lexi explains to me. This company spreads and provides charity catering throughout the community with multiple outlets. Lexi was very patient as she explains how the menu works. I ordered 3 items: 1) Loaded baked potato 2) Fried fish 3) Chicken and waffles. I just wanted to taste the baked potato without any protein on top. I don't know what it was that had an off taste, maybe the butter. The potato itself was soft topped with cheese, green onions and a little bland. The chicken and waffle were tasty. The fried chicken wasn't as crispy as I would like it but it was well seasoned and the waffle was soft. There are so many options for your sides. So for the fried fish, the appearance looks delicious but it was very thin and dry. Even with the tartar sauce it was still dry. I was really looking forward to it. The sides I selected were fries and hope cakes (which are sweet corn bread). Their beverages are on point, I got their lemonade and sweet tea. Lexi was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant is only opened on Fridays-Sundays for regular business but since they do multiple catering events, they are open 7 days a week. They also offer Sunday brunch between the hours of 9a-3p which the entire dining room is open with mocktail and coffee station. There isn't a buffet during the brunch but a la carte off the menu. I would make a return visit to try their brunch menu in the near future.
