Veggie omelette
Matt C.

Food was really good. We got breakfast and you can't go wrong with any of the options. Service was impeccable. The ambience...upscale diner.

Blueberry Lemon Pancakes, Shirt Stack, Chicken Tenders, Bone-In Fried Chicken
Greg-and-Maeda S.

With such an unassuming name, Metro Diner, this place is phenomenal! My husband and I visited this restaurant for the first time on Sunday, and we're back already the following Tuesday! The manager is so friendly and works with his team to make the entire experience special and welcoming. They are absolutely precious. On Sunday, we ordered the lemon blueberry Belgian waffle. My husband ordered the bone-in chicken and I chose the tenders. I usually have no interest in tenders, but the server, Raven, had great things to say about them. Wow, was she right! These tenders are so flavorful that they don't even need a dipping sauce. The waffles are light, fluffy, and flavorful perfection. Today we had the lemon blueberry pancakes and standard short stack with the chicken, bone-in and tenders. Chef's kiss! The chicken is fried fresh, so be patient. Their syrup and hot sauce dip make the pancakes/waffles with chicken cohesive. The strawberry butter taste like ice cream! It's a very nice touch. The coffee has that kind of weak, hot and just brewed thing good diners do well. We've been complaining about the price of everything being so high nowadays. But for some reason, dining here feels worth it. We're looking forward to trying many more things on the menu, so many tried-and-true favorites to choose from!

Fried Chicken Sandwich with large pieces of chicken and thick bacon.

I met a friend for breakfast. I specifically chose Metro Diner because the Manager, Jason, is excellent and will accommodate customers with food allergies. We met at 10 am and we're seated quickly. Our waitress came by and took our drink orders and handed us menus and flatware. Pam is allergic to beef, pork and shrimp. We started to explain her allergies to our waitress who didn't quite understand what Pam was saying do I asked her to ask Jason to come to our table. He appeared in about 2 minutes. We explained Pam's food allergies and he offered grilled chicken tenders and double hash browns. Jason cooked her foods in skillets instead of the flattop to ensure no cross contamination. He even threw in an extra tender at no charge. Pam said her food was delicious and we thanked Jason for taking such great care to ensure Pam's foods were pristine. I ordered a side salad and the turkey with dressing, mashed potatoes, and green beans plus an order of grilled chicken tenders and hash browns to go. He threw in a complimentary tender for me. I highly recommend Metro Diner on Airport Road. Jason is the best Manager in this town and he works very hard to accommodate his customers. He goes out of his way to ensure his customers have great food and are satisfied customers. He is the BEST!!!

Chicken and waffles
Cheryl M.

Came here on a Sunday at breakfast time. It was pretty busy but we were seated pretty quick. There were lots of people working so they seem to get customers in and out pretty fast. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Hubby got the biscuits and gravy. Chicken was great, hot and crispy and there were 4 pieces. Waffles were a little underdone. I asked for a little extra strawberry butter which they provided. Hubby didn't think the gravy was as good as another location we have been to but he still liked it well enough. Service was good. Staff were all very nice. I would eat here again.

Meat lover's omelette with what they termed a "tiny" pancake ... it was plate-sized!
Patricia M.

Gave this place a go rather than IHOP...it was so worth it! Prompt and friendly service. Clean and cheery. Our server Tammy was amazing. Portions were huge and good, a rare combination. Enjoyed the 80s music, which wasn't too loud for talking. Restrooms were clean. All in all, a great find and we'll be back again.

Eggs and hash browns 8/1/21
Ashley S.

We love going to the Metro Diner and were thrilled to find one in Huntsville. We decided to come early morning for breakfast before the brunch rush. We didn't have to wait to be seated. However, it took a while for anyone to acknowledge us. Then a kind older lady named Beverly came and asked us if anyone came by yet. She was great! Our table wasn't in her section, but that didn't stop her. We ordered coffee to start. She kept it coming. I got the southwest breakfast burrito. My husband got the biscuits and gravy. I always get the gas browns with cheese and onion. So good!!!

Burnt toast

Server was nice, offered to bring more toast since one side was black, returned later with more burnt toast. Scrambled eggs were good, hashbrowns were very greasy and we could not finish them.

The Bissell Breakfast Pancakes
Meghin D.

I have never tried Metro Diner but I am so glad that another place in the area had messed up a wait list so we decided to try it out. I wasn't sure what to get but I was told the Chicken and Waffles are amazing. They also had a few specials on a black board. Like a sweet and spicy chicken and waffles, a southwest burrito and a meat burrito. However, after looking through the menu, I decided on the Bissell Breakfast. It seemed to have it all, and it absolutely had it all. The pancakes (2) were amazing. Light and fluffy served with hot syrup on the side. The hash browns were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The eggs weren't cooked to my liking I ordered over medium and got more of an over easy. (The whites were still runny) but in their defense if I would've had more stomach room I could have very well eaten the eggs with the fabulous toast they provided. The bacon was nice and crispy, toast was a 9-grain with butter, and lastly I ordered a side of cheesiest grits because why not. My favorite items in order were: pancakes, hash browns, cheesiest grits, bacon, toast, eggs. The pancakes were perfect. Hash browns delicious. The coffee is amazing coffee as well it was extremely smooth. Service was pretty good. They were training new staff which was great, our order did take a little bit but it was ok. I enjoyed the time there and loved the atmosphere. Overall it was a wonderful experience I will definitely be back!

I still like this place and have even gotten "real food" there…read more Pros: Staff are friendly! They nicely ground the bag of (overpriced) coffee I bought with zero complaints. The breakfast sandwiches and BLT are decently executed, but I'm REALLY not a fan of their bagels. Their bread (particularly the baguette) is fantastic, though. Note: it sells out quickly. You can still pick up your to-go order without having to deal with people. They now have a cute bookshop inside. They make their own cream cheese! Cons: If I'm paying $1.50 for an avocado add on, PLEASE don't let it be oxidized and brown and gross. This makes me sad. Parking is still a nightmare. See above about the bagels. I'm prepared for the hate I'm about to get, but I prefer Bruegger's...which is sad, as I'm sure they're produced and come in frozen. Prices have gone up, but that's to be expected. I would love, however, the option to not add on a side for less moolah. I don't want their straight from the bag chips, random baby carrots, or (somewhat icky) fruit. Depending on the timing, you may be able to get a seat. Or you may be fighting a soccer mom with 4 screaming toddlers just to pick up a to go order. Still a fan, but know what you're getting.

This is just for the bagels. The good Parking is plentiful and easy in and out. The bagels were…read morepretty good you can tell they were prepared in the traditional boiled manner that results in the chewy outside texture. And they offer just enough Schmear as an extra and will toast it for you. It is a quaint place that offers a place to hang out for a while. The staff was cordial not overly friendly and seemed really focused on the tasks at hand. I would have liked to have had a better breakfast bagel sandwich selection as that is what I was looking for but most of the offerings were on toasted bread.

Dave placed the orders My Eggs Benedict was ok. The hollandaise sauce was too lemony for my taste. It was off putting to me. The typical English muffin was replaced by a piece of a roll that I did not care for. I expected Canadian Bacon and received a few thin slices of ham and a piece of bacon. The hash browns were divine. They had the best crust and crunchy texture versus soft potatoes. 3/5 Dave's The Works Omelette filled with meats and vegetables was delicious. I wish I had ordered it. The hash browns were the best restaurant hash browns we have had in a while. 5/5 If you are in the area, please stop by and try Furst Watch. They have many breakfast options available. 4/5

Ambience was bright and fresh even on a gloomy day, largely white with black accents. This time went for a late brunch, around 11:30. Seated right away. Friendly, professional server, Kat. (That is, she asked the "are you ready to order?", "do you need anything else?" and "would you like a box?" questions at just the right time without intrusiveness so we could talk and enjoy our meal.) We had a blazing dragon fruit mix, citrusy and delicious for a brunch drink. $5.79. Avocado toast was about $13.50, tons of avocado and excellent toast. Side of two eggs. The Works omelette was cooked right , could only eat half, $14.50. Overall excellent, and filling meals on two occasions. Would strongly recommend and will go back.

I stopped in around 1:30 p.m. and was the only customer in the store when I placed my order. While I was waiting, several other customers came in. Rather than beginning the drinks, one barista continued taking everyone's orders before anything was made. There were two baristas visible the entire time, but the second didn't start making drinks until the first had finished taking the full line of orders. It made the wait much longer than it seemed necessary. To make matters worse, my matcha wasn't mixed properly--it was full of chunks, I included a picture, making it unpleasant to drink. After waiting that long, I expected much better. Unfortunately, this hasn't been a one-time experience. Every visit seems to involve an unusually long wait for a drink that's average at best. It's especially disappointing because when this location first opened, the drinks and service were consistently good. I kept hoping each occasional returning visit would be better, but today's experience was enough for me to decide not to come back.

My Sorority Sister and I went there after my hair appointment around the corner. Last time I was here, my group of sorority sisters enjoyed their house made BBQ chips, Montreal poutine, Asian ribs, and fries. The poutine and ribs were bit hits for our group of four. I recall the giant pretzel I had on my visit here with my coworkers. It came with the bro jo beer cheese dip that I recall being delicious and my Sister and I decided to order the Bacon Wrapped Pretzel Bites app., which is described as "bite-sized pretzel pieces wrapped in bacon with hot honey and bro jo cheese sauce." I typically don't like sweet anything, and I did not care for the "hot honey." If you don't care for sweet either, ask for the sauce on the side. As it was I could sort of cover the sweetness of the honey sauce with the cheese dip. The bacon was cooked well and managed to stay crispy, which was good! We split the Cheesesteak sandwich described as "thinly sliced grilled ribeye, sauteed onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms in melty white American cheese served on a toasted hoagie roll with a choice of side." We went with fries as the side and 86d the mushrooms. Thank goodness for the fries, which were good! This sandwich was a crime against sandwiches! If you've ever had the unfortunate experience of eating Steak-umms, then you know what I'm talking about! I think Ale's Kitchen86d all the toppings except the cheese so we had basically Steak-umm "meat" and some cheese. Ale's Kitchen is in a brewery, Straight to Ale, and I'm happy they do offer two wines: a chardonnay and a red blend. I again had the chardonnay which was, as I recalled from the last visit, flavorless. The staff were friendly, efficient, answered questions, ensured we had everything we needed, were overall kind, and our orders were promptly prepared and delivered to our table. The restrooms were clean!
