Stopped here during a road trip. Everything you want from a diner!! The menu is so amazing it makes it hard to pick what to order! I had the huevos rancheros and the tortilla chips were fried to perfection!! Will be back the next time I'm driving through Indianapolis! read more

We went for breakfast and highly recommend. Classic diner foot with good portions. Got the scrambled egg bowl, biscuits and gravy were amazing, and the avocado toast. read more

Very welcoming staff! Server Candice is a delight. I came in with my big family on a Sunday morning, there were about 18 of us, and they were able to seat us immediately! Service was amazing. Food was good and reasonably priced. Manager came by and thanked us for choosing them. Definitely will be coming back. Lovely time!! One thing that did bother me, was that the restaurant was a little too hot. It was the winter time, so maybe they had the heating cranked read more

Great service thanks. Yummers. Will come again as long as it still this good. Food is delicious and would recommend to friend. Great Ambiance. read more

My server, Jessica, did a wonderful job. I especially enjoyed the Philly cheese steak sandwich and a salad.

Awesome diner experience with friendly service and the food comes out fresh and fast. If you're in the mood for some good fried food for brunch, get the chicken and waffles! Huge portion and super juicy chicken - even the white meat pieces! The strawberry butter was super tasty and have a little brightness to the meal. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Shout out to Amber who is the Best server I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! She made our experience 100/10! Food at Metro is so good! If you haven't had the chicken and waffles then get that before you try anything else! They make an amazing strawberry butter to serve with the waffles that is one of a kind. For the chicken, make sure you ask them to mix you up some spicy syrup! I tried a bacon and avocado bowl and subbed the hollandaise sauce for sausage gravy and a side of waffles. It was pretty tasty, but as I said you have to get their famous chicken and waffles, I kept seeing plates of it go out and knew I should have placed an order! Luckily my son did so I swiped a couple bites from him. Get there early for lunch, place gets packed in a good way! read more

I have visited before but decided to order in for breakfast. They have an extensive menu and a number of the items I have tried I have enjoyed . I decided to expand my horizons and check out something new and I'm glad I did. I had the steak and scramble bowl, it was delicious! Everything was cooked to perfection and was delicious together. I also got a side of bacon that was tasty, crisp and flavorful just now I like it. To drink I had a tasty coffee, that tasted great and was not burn, as well as a large pineapple juice. It arrived hot and I enjoyed my breakfast, can't wait to get back in to the physical location. read more

The best thing about this place was the service, the food, in my opinion they focused on the uber orders, which they were receiving lots, so it diminished the quality of the food, cold hash browns, old thin cheap see through bacon, not even applewood. I can go on but why. read more

This place is awesome! Customer service is great, and the foods even better. The food is value priced and worked every penny. read more

Metro always ensures you have plenty of food, hence the reason my husband likes to go. Unfortunately the wait is normally long and the dining area often at capacity making it feel crammed. I also wish they had plant based options for vegetarians, healthier pescatarian options like smoked salmon , or alternate batters other than deep fried beer battered fish and/or shrimp. read more

Ok this experience started off shakey. The booth we were sat in was not clean, under or on the actual booth. I did a once over with one of the menus to clear the crumbs left from previous diners. No biggie. Let's get into the food and service. Our waitress Sarah was awesome, she kept a smile on her face and kept our coffee cups full and offered a to go cup. I ordered the lemon blueberry waffles, chicken with a side of hashbrowns . My honey ordered the 3 egg combo with a side of grits. The lemon blueberry waffle are seasonal but should be a permanent fixture on the menu. It's sooooooo good. It's essentially a blueberry waffle with lemon glaze. I added the strawberry butter just to be extra and boy oh boy I felt like Spike Lee I was "doing the right thing". The chicken was nice and crispy i enjoyed the spiked syrup. My honey enjoyed his meal as well. His grits were smooth and flavorful. The best part was the manager, I think his name was Rob. He came by to check on our meal and experience. We had a nice conversation about the seasonal waffles and pancakes. My honey is from MI and he loves the whole diner experience. He says this is now one of his favorite places it reminds him of Coney Island back home . read more

Stopped in to Metro Diner to give it a try as I had never been in. Was promptly greeted as I walked in. The place was very busy for lunch. This diner is in a strip mall. My waitress, Tracy, was training someone so she introduced herself and him as well. She showed me the board where the specials of the day were written. I chose one of the specials, the California Turkey Roll. The roll had a tomato basil wrap stuffed with turkey, avocado, bacon, roasted red pepper cream cheese, red onion, and shredded lettuce. I selected broccoli for my side. Loved the wrap itself, tomato basil was an excellent choice. It was very tasty along with piping hot broccoli that was seasoned well. Tracy and her trainee checked on me as I ate and came by at the end to see if I wanted a coke to go. I said no but opted for a pumpkin spice coffee to go and there was no upcharge for that. I will definitely make another stop in when I am back on the nortbside. read more

I've visited this Metro location numerous times and finally sharing my review. We always find the service here excellent. I love the laid-back, approachable vibe to breakfast and lunch. The menu is concise but offers all of the typical favorites in very ample portions. I've never had a bad meal here, and servers are always quick to keep your coffee or other beverages full. We've taken out town guests here twice thus far and they always leave very happy! read more

Metro Diner is a wonderful diner in the heart of Castleton that serves an excellent breakfast menu along with lunch and dinner. My friends and I came here for breakfast after helping me move into my new place, and we were very happy with the food and customer service. I ordered the Bissell breakfast which was eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, and an English muffin. It was excellent! The coffee was superb!! I always say you know it is a good diner if the coffee is terrific, and this coffee was terrific!! I would come back here just for the coffee! Our waitress was excellent and on top of everything, so it made my breakfast even more enjoyable! Everyone else at my table enjoyed their meal as well. This is a great breakfast place for Sunday brunch after church or just to spend time with family and friends. You will definitely get your money's worth at Metro Diner! read more

This seems like it's a chain restaurant but it's cute. The menu had a lot of selections and the lunch crowd was fairly good size. They are open only for breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday and then on weekend also serve dinner. It's conveniently located just outside of the Keystone Mall area and near the Nordstrom Rack store. I had the meatloaf which is a signature dish. It was pretty good. The flavor is good, the meat has an odd texture, it's more like chopped versus ground beef. And the zucchini was a great surprise initially but slightly over cooked. The waitstaff was fine, friendly. It's a casual dinner, like a mid-level restaurant. As long as you're not looking for fine dining, most people would be pretty happy here. We'd stop again for a change from the usual fare. It's a step or two up from fast food, a step up from places like Panera and Piada. And it was nice to be waited on instead of counter service. read more

Metro Diner - Sitting at the counter - Diners Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

For tonight's dinner, we decided to visit the local Metro Diner. I have had many trips to Metro Diner in the past, but this location was very favorable. They had speedy service, friendly staff, piping hot food that was fresh, clean and well-kept restrooms, and spacious seating. We ordered two pieces of Fried Fish (Ala Carte) to tide us over until our main courses arrived. We usually split a half order of Biscuits and Gravy for our appetizer, which are always wonderful! However, we wanted to try something different. Plus, we never had the Fish here yet. It was pretty decent Fish too! Our main courses were the "Iron City Meatloaf" and the "Philly Cheesesteak" dinners. The Meatloaf was not what we hoped it would be. It has a very acquired taste that some will either love, and others like myself will dislike. It was still fresh and hot, so overall quality was decent. The Mashed Potatoes with Brown Gravy and Green Beans were delicious though! I would personally not order it again, but there are many others who would. I couldn't knock it until I tried it. Personal preference differences does not mean it's a bad meal. It all depends on what your tastes are meant for. The Philly Cheesesteak was great, and the fries were crispy. It had a good portion of Steak and Cheese too. I will definitely be returning to try out some of their new items in the future! read more

It was so bad. SO so so so so bad. I ordered the fish dinner and subbed green beans for slaw. The green bean were ok, edible. The fish tasted so fishy bad I couldn't eat it. The fries were undercooked and hard in the middle. I literally threw away the meal. It was such a waste of money read more

The food looks great, but it must be a challenge to NOT add sour cream even when it says NO SOUR CREAM on the ticket.. Update on food: The sour cream in my opinion ruined the taste of the food. I'm not a fan of sour cream hence why I asked for them not to put it on my food. read more

Grabbed brunch here and it was yummy! The wait wasn't too bad despite coming during what I imagine is a peak hour, so that was nice. There's nothing too crazy about the decor - it's a diner and it felt like one. I got a honey chicken biscuit with a side of hash browns, and everything was decent. Nothing mind-blowing but not bad at all. The hash browns didn't taste super fresh but that's about my only complaint. The server was fantastic and friendly. Overall, could definitely see us coming back! read more

The food is solid and quick at this location. Lots of server turnover but the longer term servers are outstanding and hospitable. I'm here to shout out manager Eric. I'm a restaurant professional, lifelong, and management matters. Today after a Saturday morning surge, I overheard Eric praising and encouraging the line crew. "Great job, kitchen. Great job." THAT IS IMPORTANT. The line rarely gets any recognition and a manager who understands that the BOH is as important as the FOH is a rare find. That's what's up, Metro Diner. read more

One of my go to brunch spots! Great, quick food with friendly service at a good price! It's often packed on weekend mornings and afternoon, but we never seem to wait more than a few minutes for a table of 4. I like crispy hash browns, and one of the servers suggested I order them scattered, which I now do, and they're perfectly crispy every time! read more

I loooooove Metro. I visit almost every weekend for Sunday Brunch. The food is always spot on. The service is usually good as well. The wait time can be a lengthy (30-45 minutes) especially between 11am and 1pm but it's worth it. The food comes pretty quick and they allow you to substitute whatever. It's very busy. I wouldn't say it's the best when it comes to social distancing but if you're going to sit in, you probably aren't too concerned anyway. They have little dividers between the booths but nothing for the tables. Overall I love Metro and I'll obviously be back. read more

I can't begin to say how wonderful today's dining experience has been! Our family has favored Metro Diner as one of our go-to dining places when we want peace of mind (i.e. great food & service) and today was exceptionally better! That's very impressive considering how high a bar of excellence Metro Diner has consistently delivered for us! Today we were waited on by Ashleigh, a very friendly, professional, helpful, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and detailed waitress (who needs to run her own diner because she's so good at what she does!!!). After a very welcoming greeting upon our arrival we were immediately seated. It was obvious, but not distracting, that they are practicing safety protocols, which is reassuring. We started off with a hot cup of Vanilla Creme flavored coffee and a hot cup of Lemon Ginger tea. For breakfast, we ordered The Bissell Breakfast (two eggs scrambled, bacon, toast, and a short stack of pancakes) and the Fruity Waffle (Belgium waffle, topped with fresh blueberries, strawberry and banana slices). I also ordered a side of Canadian Bacon, Hashbrowns, and Scrambled Eggs. Let me say EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!!! Ashleigh only enhanced our experience by her timely visits to check on us and accommodate our requests! She even helped us save some money on a to-go order I was also making, by alerting me to a promotion they were having! She took customer service and quality of service to a new level! We are thrilled and delighted to have made the choice this morning to stop in for breakfast! Bravo, Metro Diner! You have not simply maintained a fine reputation with us, but you keep a high calibre & dedicated staff, from receptionist, wait staff, and kitchen crew! THANK YOU!!! read more

First time at Metro was in Daytona Beach Florida. I was encouraged to find one here and give it a try. Now the picture does not do the shrimp and grits justice but demonstrates the three stars. I had the shrimp and grits. It was tasty, well seasoned with plenty of shrimp and white gravy. However, it's a grit patty and the patty was over-cooked to the point that the grits were dry and had an unappealing crust. I also do not prefer white gravy, but it was actually good. My wife had chicken and waffles, but the chicken was very dry and no seasoning. The waffle was awesome with the strawberry butter. The Daytona location hit a home-run, but today in Indy fell short. I'm going to chalk it up to a bad day and hope that next time the kitchen doesn't overcook the food. read more
