    Metro Diner Classic comfort food done right. Big portions, crispy fried chicken, fluffy waffles, and a solid all-day breakfast menu. Fast service and hits the spot when you're craving something hearty. Good food, good value I would come back.

    Meat Lovers Omelet,  cheese grits, toast.

    I decided to go to this location for breakfast being that I was in the area. Parking was slightly difficult to find being that it's a shared parking lot. After waiting a few minutes I managed to find a parking spot. The food is always good everything go here. The service is slightly slow but good, because this location stays full. I decided to order their meat lovers omelet. The omelet was fluffy and full of meat like my neighbor's cat. The grits are good as well. I also had toast on the side as well. I'll definitely return this location.

    Visited Metro Diner on Baymeadows, on a busy Saturday and the wait was about 15 minutes for a party of three, so nothing crazy. The chicken and waffles was solid but not a standout this time (had better before). Service was also pretty good, no complaints.

    Tried this location out for the first time since I live nearby and honestly it was okay wouldn't say it's the best. The place is quite spacious. The service was fair as well the food. Here's what we tried : Meat omelette - 7/10 it was okay was a bit flavorless Season rice - 5/10 more vegetables than rice..... wasn't really a fan...... Biscuit and gravy - 8/10 was a little flavorless Over med eggs and hash brown - eggs were cook perfectly tastes

    Came for breakfast with a friend visiting from CO and had a great experience as always! We used the virtual waitlist feature and were seated quickly upon arrival. Our server was fast and attentive and the restaurant was buzzing as always on a Sunday! Our food was great and came out fast and hot. Great choice for Sunday brunch!

    Service was horrible the girl with the long brown and white hair refused to serve me for a to go order and she had no one to assign a table and there wasn't any tables to sit anyone. Then when she saw the go line got longer then she started to help bag orders and then said okay I'm done I'm going back to my job. Very unprofessional hostess. When I finally got my order after serving people after me I got luke warm food that was already sitting on the Togo shelf. The restaurant is self is very homey but not enough space. When I got my pumpkin pancakes they were not like the picture overall not a good quality for your money. They usually are good but long wait times this will be my last time ordering here.

    Bacon, Egg & Cheese Croissant with extra egg, a heaping portion of potatoes covered with onions and peppers

    Listen, hear me out! It's just metro, I know....but I had the best breakfast here! Yes, I was starving, but the food was the bomb! Our server did a wonderful job of navigating me through my complicated order...as I seemed to want to try everything on the menu at once but I ended up with the Bacon, egg and cheese croissant...with an extra egg. The best way (in my opinion) to get the home fries is cooked crispy with onions and peppers added. It literally does so thing to you when you bathe those potatoes in ketchup and a hint of ranch. Everything went as planned and I left there full as a tick. The ambiance is...blah. It's a food spot where folks come to eat, talk, then dip. Not big expectations here but everyone working is friendly and they know their stuff. One lady was even dancing with my son as he was telling me wanted to go to the potty.....even though he had a diaper on. lol.

    Iron City Meatloaf- good

    3.75 Weekday visit Seated right away Server took a little bit to get to us, but was busy and nice Menu options- good selection as well as some specials on the board. Offered both breakfast and dinner. I will say I was surprised there were no waffle offerings that came with eggs or a meat. Had to piece meal something for my daughter which adds up. Food: Breakfast items: Eggs (scrambled)- good, hash browns a bit dry, sausage links were better than the patty. Waffle was fluffy. Dinner items: Philly- decent, not spectacular. Steak bowl, ok- good amount of meat but not many larger veggies with the rice. Meatloaf- large portions and tasty. Tight inside space, expected for a diner. Would try again, definitely would try something new this time or stick to breakfast.

Not even a little! From the moment I was seated, Alexandra was on it! She immediately brought out warm chips and salsa (always a strong opening move), and of course I had to add queso because I believe queso is less of a choice and more of a lifestyle. The chips were perfectly warm and the queso was smooth, melty, and exactly what my soul needed after a long work day! Their happy hour is seriously impressive. Apps are half off, margaritas and daiquiris are 2 for 1, and on Fridays all premium drinks are $10. It felt like the universe was rewarding me for simply showing up hungry! The menu is HUGE with tons of options, but I landed on the authentic mexican street tacos with a side of rice. Let me just say... those tacos were perfection!!! Packed with flavor, fresh, and clearly made with care! But the sleeper star? The rice. Light, fluffy, and honestly some of the best rice I've had from a Mexican restaurant in a long time. I don't usually rave about rice, yet here we are. The restaurant itself has a super fun WWE theme, which was unexpected but really cool and unique. The only thing missing was my girl Bianca Belair on the wall, I kept looking like she might show up mid meal . Great food, great atmosphere, great service. If I'm back in town, this will absolutely be a repeat stop... probably multiple times again if I'm being honest!

That level of responsiveness says a lot about their commitment to customer satisfaction. My wife and I started sharing a wedge salad and French onion soup -- both perfectly prepared and full of flavor.
