First and foremost, what a really nice staff!!!! Waitress that took care of me at the counter, called in on her day off, was super nice and attentive, thank you!!! The chef with the original team member shirt, friendly, courteous, checked on me 2x to see if things were good, thank you!!! Food was exactly Merry Christmas read more

I am so pleased with the food when it was delivered it was hot and very delicious..for the first time I tried the chicken and waffles and there's chicken places that don't get it this good...it was all white meat and it wasn't dry at all it stayed tender even after it cooled down...... read more

Yummy!!! We stopped in here on a whim and I'm glad we did. Our server was so fantastic! He was tentative and our food came out in a jiffy! I got the spicy honey chicken biscuit and it was amazing! It wasn't very spicy just perfect. The piece of chicken was amazing. My husband got the 3 egg breakfast. It was a lot of food. Our only observation is that the eggs weren't the best. I'm not sure if they were imitation, but they were a bit watery tasting. Other than that we had an amazing visit! We would recommend this place in a heart beat. read more

Extremely disappointed with our visit to this restaurant. We were a group of 30.. ages from little kid to elderly. We called the day before to make sure we will have our area ready because this is not a big restaurant. After waiting 45 mins we asked the hostess how close we was to being seated. The hostess said we was yelling at her. There was no one in our group that yelled or even raised our voice at her. The manager which was also the girls father was rude.. we tried to explain that no one was loud or rude.. and he didn't care what anyone said. He said to the group and I quote " none of you are important to our business." We was kicked out of the restaurant for no reason .. will not recommend this place to anyone. They need a new manager running the place.. because of the words the manager said to our whole family.. I will never return to this restaurant...go to Dennys.. read more

Great mimosas and wonderful brunch. The eggs Benedict with avocado was delicious! Also a great place for shrimp and grits!! Nice place!

I have never heard of this place and I don't know how. Today I got a special, the spicy chicken eggs Benedict, and a mimosa. I was not prepared with how full the eggs alone would would make me. I took a bite out of the hashbrowns just to see if they were good fresh just for this review. Now the hashbrowns are ok but that spicy chicken eggs Benedict with gravy over the top was perfect. I look forward to bringing a friend next time! I can't wait to try the chicken and waffles! read more

Though the food and service were good, my niece and I were appalled at the LACK of COVID-19 precautions taken at this café. Large groups were seated next to small groups. No social distancing was possible. The only effort we saw included partial plexiglass shields between booths. What's the point when tables are close together? A server said that Marion county allowed 100% capacity in restaurants. We don't plan on returning and are spreading the word to others about avoiding this restaurant. read more

August 13th, 2021 , After our flight from LAX to Indiana, we stopped by for some morning breakfast, my dad ordered a simple breakfast meal, I ordered sunny-side up eggs with bacon and hash-browns to start my day after a long sleepless night on the airplane, my twin brother was the only one who did not order breakfast but rather fish and chips. From where we sat, I sat there admiring the chefs working hard on cooking the hash browns and other foods at the place. The smell of breakfast can hit you very fast. read more

Metro Diner is always great. I have been there several times. I have tried their chicken and waffles, pot pie, fruit waffle, and shrimp and grits. Everything always was full of flavor and the portions sizes are super generous! The fruit waffle was my favorite! A thick waffle with fresh fruit and whipped cream! read more

Great food + great service = one happy diner! Be warned, portions are huge and delicious! (So bring your comfy pants) read more

One of my go to spots for breakfast food anytime of the day. The food is filling and gets prepared quickly. The service is always great and on it! They are so welcoming when you visit.

I don't know if my expectations were through the roof because of all the delicious food pics I've seen, but after my first visit I found this place to be just ok. The customer service was outstanding, but the food, especially for the price, was meh. I stopped in for lunch with a friend. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive. I just had to order the chicken and waffles because everyone raved about them and my friend ordered chicken salad. It didn't take long at all for our food to come out. The portion size was pretty good, but taste wise it was just ok. Generous portion of chicken although it was a bit greasy. The waffle was nothing exceptional. My friend loved her chicken salad. If someone suggested coming here again I wouldn't mind, but I just wouldn't go out of my way to visit. read more

Brunch here is amazing! I dream about going back. I plan to do that very soon. Portions are huge. I think sharing would be best! I got the chicken and waffles and the chicken was hot and fresh and my waffles light and airy and full of butter goodness. Then it came with strawberry butter that was to die for. It just was simply amazing. We went a bit later so after the morning rush, but still waited a little while for a table. But not too long. I thought everything came out fast and we were waited on quickly. They had a lot of offerings for lunch and dinner. My husband got a sandwich and he enjoyed it. I would go back for waffles! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile now. I'm a big fan of breakfast places & their online pictures had my mouth watering. So my mom, grandma, cousin, aunt, & I wanted to give it a try. We were immediately greeted at the door & sat promptly. The waitress was also prompt, knowledgeable, & so nice. I did see they have mimosas available but at the same time there is a family friendly vibe. I ended up getting the San Francisco Benedict & OMG it was amazing!!! It had poached egg, tomato, bacon, & my favorite.... Avocado!!!!! I got a side of hash browns & a house salad that was delicious too. They do also have dinners available if you're not in the mood for breakfast for dinner. I was thoroughly impressed & will definitely be back!!! read more

We came for breakfast. Both of our meals were exactly as ordered and delicious. Our servers Sarah/and trainee Riley were very good and kept our drinks full. Would highly recommend. I would have taken a picture but managed to eat it all before I thought about it! read more

Second time eating here. Food is very good! Higher prices for breakfast than a lot of other places likely due to the huge portions and name. I'd gladly return but not on the regular as $10 for breakfast is kind of high. Service was quick. Be prepared for a long wait during the weekend! read more

Delicious everything here is absolutely delicious and the staff is amazing! We eat at Metro weekly

Yummy! I love a good diner breakfast, and this one definitely hit the mark. Portion sizes are HUGE -- the two-egg breakfast seemed more like four eggs, and I took half the hash browns home with me. For some odd reason, my picky eater son refused to eat his pigs in a blanket (sausages wrapped in pancakes - again, a generous serving), so I took them home and had them as a late lunch. LOVED the butter rum-flavored coffee, too, and our server Tracy was super nice. I'll come back again and get something a bit more adventurous next time. read more

Fried chicken. that's all! Seriously the chicken here is amazing. Crispy, juicy, really great tasting skin and meat. I always order the chicken platter, wife and son generally go for the chicken and waffles. Either way you can't go wrong. read more

I've dined at Metro for years and LOVE every meal. They have so many amazing options, it's hard for me to pinpoint one I love. Their breakfast options are great. They also serve mimosas, so grab one with your meal if you're looking for some bubbly. They have dozens of ways to cook your eggs, and it always comes out right. If you're unhappy with how a meal turns out, they're happy to swap it out for you. The service is beyond quick, and though it's a busy place the wait is never extremely long. Staff are usually busy, but friendly and love to chat. Their lunch and dinner menu is also good. Try the pot roast, shepherd's pie, meatloaf or even the fried chicken and waffles. I love that they have rotating specials written on the chalkboard. It's nice to have the option to shake up my usual and try some of their creative creations. I always go for the flavored coffee. The prices can't be beat for the portions. While I'm sad the location nearest to me has closed, this is worth the drive. Today, I got a three egg breakfast. The eggs were cooked to perfection, the hash browns are always delicious and the sausage patties are my favorite, although the bacon always looks good too. I got a side waffle (yummy) and some fries because the seasoning on the fries is delicious. Don't pass up an opportunity to eat here. read more

The food was good. Very very familiar. It is like walking into grandma's kitchen.  When you walk to the counter, speak up, speak respectfully and enjoy the big plate of love. This restaurant has a good ole Mom n Pop feel, which I like. read more

The best fried chicken ever! Get the chicken sandwich or fingers it doesn't matter it's all delicious!

I hoped that this place would be so good. It was ok. The place was packed and we were seated at the counter. It took a mintue for the waitress to greet us. I ordered the flavor coffee, croissant french toast, eggs, bacon and hashbrown. Plus, it came with a biscuit. My husband ordered a short stack and Vortex burger. I asked for my hashbrown to be crisp and when it was served it was leaking butter. The croissant french toast was pretty good, but I had to lean plate away from my eggs to keep the grease at bay. My husband said his pancake tasted like cake. He said he would come back for pancakes. I come back to try something else. Their chicken and waffles seemed very popular as we watched items prepared at the counter. We will probably give them another try because the staff was pretty friendly. read more

I had lunch here with a couple of friends. The place was packed, but the wait wasn't long. The food was unique and delicious, and the portions were HUGE! I had a fish burrito, and it was excellent. They did charge extra for additional sauces, but considering how fair the prices are, it was a minor hiccup in an otherwise great visit. If you want something delicious and different, I'd definitely recommend the Metro Diner. read more

I was really excited to try out this spot, however it fell short of my expectations. I had been craving chicken and waffles, and was told that this would be an awesome spot. I did like the comfortable feel of the spot, however it was a little tight. The tables and chairs were very close together, so getting out to go to the restroom was a challenge. Once my food arrived, I was amazed at how much food was on my plate! I legitimately received a whole half chicken!!! But unfortunately, it had a "burned" after taste that I DID NOT enjoy! It definitely spoiled the anticipation that I had when I walked in the door. However, service was decent, and I really loved my coffee, but I think I was expecting "WOW" based on the reviews I had seen previously.... and I only got "ok". read more

I love everything about this place (minus the fact that it's not next door to my apartment). Great customer service. Delicious food. Serves breakfast all day. Seriously, is this place PERFECT??! I had the spicy fried chicken Benedict. It was amazing, although I did need a nap immediately afterward. I sat at the bar and I have to say that everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. Also had a very personable waiter who gave recommendations, told me about the history of the restaurant, and was attentive during my meal. Excited to visit again and try something new!!! read more

This is my 1st visit to Indianapolis and my boyfriend's family recommended this diner for breakfast. My boyfriend and I decided to check it out on a Friday morning. We were greeted with smiles and warm welcomes as soon as we walked in the door. I looked at the menu online before I got to the diner and already knew I wanted to order the Country Benedict. Even though it wasn't on the menu in the restaurant our waitress assured me they had all the ingredients and could still make it for me. My boyfriend ordered the Bissell breakfast and raved about the pancakes and eggs. The Country Benedict did not disappoint. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the Hollandaise sauce was creamy and perfectly seasoned. All of our food was amazing. Even though it's not on the menu I highly recommend giving the Country Benedict a try! My boyfriend and I both agree the food is delicious and the service is top notch. read more

Yay a diner!! I love diners and I wish this one was open 24/7 but it's a little more upscale than that. Breakfast served all day with lunch and dinner options as well. Friendly service and located fairly close to a couple of happening areas. I ordered the philly cheesesteak, perfect crisp on the roll and the most appetizing blend of veggies and steak. Not to mentioned the slab of melted cheese on top. My husband got the biscuits and gravy which were as heavenly as ever. Can't wait to try breakfast there some time! read more

Food is always on point here as well as service! Love eating here and will continue to support them!

We were on vacation visiting for the first time. We loved it there so much that we went back twice while still in town. The food was great and the waitress Sarah was super attentive and nice. Will go back if I ever find myself back in town. read more

This was my second time going back. The first time I never got any service the owner left me a number, I contacted him but never received a response back. So with that said I gave them another chance because I heard the food was really good. I'm glad I did they have mimosas on sale the food came out hot and fresh and it was one of the best burgers I've ever tasted. I'm glad I finally went back. Nice job! I will return and bring the family. read more

My new favorite spot for biscuits and grits! Yes I said it right biscuits and grits hold the gravy! I really like their biscuits because they're big, hearty and sort of crunchy. Not that light fluffy stuff that gets stuck to the roof of your mouth. But also not the made from scratch type either (I don't think but could be wrong). The grits are awesome too! Again nice and hearty, heavy grits. Not that stuff that becomes watery in 5 minutes. You can even get cheesy grits. They will put shredded cheese on the top and bottom of the grits. I found that I prefer cheese just on the top or give them to me straight! The extra cheese at the bottom was a bit much and took way too much grits space. I even got innovative after eating spoonfuls of biscuits and grits to just pouring the grits on top of my biscuits hence biscuit and grits! The meal I get comes with toast but they let you sub for one biscuit. It also is supposed to come with 2 eggs but it's seemed like much more. No complaints here! They get my vote for a well done, quality simple breakfast just because I'm not into all the fancy breakfast stuff. There is bar seating with a view of the cooking stations for the single foodies who like to see the magic being made. I saw them make a stuffed challah french toast and it was massive! And my meal is around $10!! read more

Great service: friendly, efficient and fast. Good coffee and great mugs to drink it out of. Their biscuits are fluffy on the inside and a little crisp on the outside like we like them. Croissant French toast was delicious, although half an order (two halves) would have been plenty! Grits - either plain or cheesy - were nice and hot and just the right consistency. The menu has something for everyone and prices are reasonable. Will definitely be back! read more

I love the quality of the food, however I did an order on Uber eats tonight and I ordered my hamburger well done when I received it is was very pink inside. I couldn't eat it because I prefer well done. When I called Metro Diner, a lady answered and she didn't ask my name or anything she was very rushed saying ok thank you for letting us know. No apologies it was that and a hang up. I was looking forward to the hamburger because today at my job on my lunch break I had to go to the tire shop because I was having tire problems. This was my only meal of the day, and it was unfortunate that I couldn't enjoy it because of an oversight, and the no regard at all when I called. read more

Diner style food (woo!) and diner style service (boo!). Pros: - two waters, large pot pie, bowl of chili and huge order of hash browns was $20 - food quality was great; chili was mild but flavorful with lots of hot sauce options - hash browns were the basic shredded potato kind, browned well and served in a large quantity - tons of meal options Cons: - service was friendly but practically non-existent; long time to order, long time for food, no drink refills; we must be a bad server magnet - we saw plenty of other tables where servers checked in a lot and drinks were kept full read more

Metro Diner - Grilled cheese with ham and tomato and a fruit salad - Diners Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I came here and dined alone at the counter. The service was super fast and polite. I got my check half-way through my meal with a "no rush" assurance. Some people have written that it can come off as rushed and I can understand that to a point. However, while I was there I noticed A LOT of people saying, "I'm here on break, only got 45 minutes..." and things like that so I think it is more of a customer-desired practice they've developed. The food was rather tasty. I got the Eggs Benedict with Fried Green Tomatoes. They weren't like how my Grandma used to make them, but they were better Fried Green Tomatoes than I've had elsewhere. I plan on going back and getting something off the lunch menu. Fried Chicken or the Monte Cristo Sandwich is what I'm thinking about. I saw other orders being put out since I was right next to the grill, I must say it made me want to go back! read more
