Bissell breakfast with pancakes
Marnell J.

This seems to be a staple for the community. I have eaten her three times and each time the experience with the food is just okay. The service each time is always great. You are greeted with a hello and the waitress/waiter are attentive. The ambiance is one of a diner. Will definitely come back and keep trying various entrees.

Bissell Breakfast, sausage instead of bacon. Out of frame... the pancakes!
Tom C.

Been a while since last review and Metro still nails it. Have tried many things beyond breakfast at this point and all those options are great too. Burgers, fried chicken, fish and chips, club sandwich, meatloaf , roast turkey and beyond all hit the mark. Thankful to have a location close by.

Small shrimp and grits
Laurie M.

So glad I took my daughter up on the invite for lunch here. Place was packed but the wait was not bad at all. Our server was great, very attentive and told us all about the specials. My daughter got one of the specials the Banana Pudding Pancakes. She said they were delicious. Her roommate got eggs biscuit and hashbrowns and said they were also great. I had the Shrimp and Grits. They were some of the best shrimp and grits I have ever had. I really wanted to try to chicken and waffles but it looked like such a large serving that I will have to save that for another time. We shared the mimosa flight. It was very good too. The mimosas on the flight were orange, pineapple, strawberry lemonade, and peach mango.

Metro diner is an experience. There are several locations and this one is just tucked away in a strip mall in Huntersville. So not quite as exciting as the one downtown, but you're still gonna get good service and good diner food. It's nothing over-the-top, but it does hit the spot. This location is a bit tight inside, but there is plenty of seating. They also have a very nice outside patio. So will you be blown away? No, but you'll come away with a full belly and satisfied.

Eggs, Side & Toast
Tina S.

My husband and I went here after my procedure and I was starving. It was a Wednesday early afternoon. We were seated quickly. Staff were very accommodating. I ordered pancakes eggs cheese grits and English muffin. My husband had hueros eggs and 2 teas. Food was good but grits were watery. We will be back to try other items. They have a large menu.

Fish sandwich
Marnell J.

Metro is truly a good place where there's something for everyone; anytime of the day. You can breakfast all day along with dinner. Today we had the fish sandwich with coleslaw and the half of fried chicken with Mac and cheese and coleslaw. Please forgive me, as I forgot to take a picture of my chicken. The smell of the food driving home, I forgot to take a picture after feeding mom. The service is always great. Staff is accommodating and pleasant when we dine in or take out. The ambiance is a rustic type venue. Its a great family friendly restaurant.

Sloan M.

The food is always good here and the service by Brooks was outstanding. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles. We sat outside. I wish the screens were down and the screen door was still in place because the flies were everywhere.

Shrimp and grits
Danielle W.

I got sat at a table right away. My server Celeste was attentive even though it was quite busy. I ordered shrimp and grits with toast and a mimosa. Everything was delicious.

My mom's favorite is the Short Rib Grilled Cheese, which she always enjoys. The french fries are also really good! They also give you chips as a free side, and they were so yummy and perfectly salty!

The…read moredonuts in a bag were a highlight - piping hot and very light and airy dough, not heavy like a typical donut. We enjoyed them immensely ... and we should have stopped there. Our entrees came it was a big disappointment. My eggs Benedict with fresh greens was nothing more than a very bland English muffin, not toasted, not warmed up and hard to cut through. Borderline stale tasting. The ham slice was like a piece of deli ham folded over. They attempted to heat it up, or it was left under the heat lamps too long before serving because the sides of the ham were hard. The eggs were nice - hard to mess those up and the sauce - which was very skimpy - lacked any kind of taste. My fresh greens salad was wilted which gives me reason to believe I my dish was left too long under the heat lamps. This was so disappointing. We didn't mention this to our waiter, we just paid our bill and left. My husband had the hash, recommended by our waiter and it too lacked taste. His dish was better than mine but not the quality we were hoping for when we had such a great lunch there once before. Not sure if they changed chefs or kitchen staff or management, but definitely not the Sunday brunch we set out to have.

We were warmly - and quickly- greeted, and perused the menu. Oh man. They had guac - freshly prepared tableside - I was smitten on the spot! Luckily hubby agreed too. Man, the guac set the tone. And it was great! I had a sweet potato beer (!) - better than expected! Hubby ordered a small plate of burnt ends with sweet potato fries (get the trend here?), and I ordered a small plate of Carolina pork with potato salad. Ok. We ate.

The burnt ends were delicious, and the BBQ beans were honestly the best I've ever had. The hush puppies were also some of the best we've ever eaten! We also had the bacon-wrapped jalapeños, which were fantastic, along with the smoked chicken Caesar wrap and sweet potato fries--SO good! And let's not forget dessert! The apple bread pudding was absolutely delicious! You can tell they put a lot of care into both the food and the overall experience. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend Midwood BBQ!

From the moment I explained my dietary needs, the staff was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and genuinely careful about cross-contamination. I never once felt like my celiac disease was a huge inconvenience, which unfortunately can happen at other restaurants. And the food was delicious! My short rib plate was absolutely amazing, and I felt completely comfortable enjoying my meal. The atmosphere was also beautiful. We sat on the covered patio overlooking the lake, and it was such a relaxing and lovely setting. I'm so grateful to the team at The Lakehouse for making our experience feel easy, safe, and enjoyable. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, I highly recommend giving them a try. And even if you don't, the food, service, and atmosphere are all fantastic! Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my dinner here. The place was very busy and we made reservations as recommended…read more We had excellent service by Amanda who took care of everything as it was a birthday dinner. The nachos and dips were excellent. The salsa was tasty and the appetizer also came with a side of fresh guacamole and pimento cheese. The filet mignon was top-notch & cooked to perfection. I got the grouper special with a side of lemon butter sauce and crab. Absolutely delicious. The place is modern with a cool vibe. The only thing that took away from the experience was that it was very loud & noisy - the restaurant was packed and they had music playing on top of that so it was a bit much. There were a lot of servers helping with water refills and being very attentive. The customer service was excellent. Amanda brought out a brownie with ice cream with a candle on top when the birthday boy was outside taking a phone call, so she left her lighter so I could light the candle when he came back. It was these small touches that really made the evening special along with the fantastic food.

I had dined alone once and wanted to see if they could flip my first experience into a positive. They naturally missed the welcome attitude right away!!!! The hostess stand addressed us in a very annoying way. I asked if the bar was open seating she didn't even address us face to face just basically WHATEVER us As we got to the table, we were basically tackled by another staff yelling that we can't sit there as it's for a "regular who stepped out Literally walked off like we were criminals. I'm starting to feel heated. We get back to the hostess stand she had the perfect moment to apologize. Nope none whatsoever. It was that snarky entitled attitude that set me in. We sat down at a booth I lpoked at my husband and could tell how disturbed by the lack of service and awful treatment was taking a toll on him. We immediately addressed the manager about what we just went through. We definitely didn't need anything complimentary. Our suggestion is, please have people representing your company at the first point of contact to make positive first impressions the reflect the Southern Hospitality that makes this area SUPERB. We pulled it back together and went down the street to Paloma. A wonderful brunch, great staff. We will definitely return
