I have to commend and thank both Clinton (phenomenal server!) And I believe his name was Ron who was one of the chefs. Clinton is very in tuned to how I like my eggs and biscuits and he always works diligently to ensure that they come out correctly. When asked for the biscuits to be made very light, Ron knew who it was when he looked up and he was awesome and did it perfect! This type of personalized service you don't get just anywhere, but with Metro diner all of their wait staff watch out for their customers because they genuinely care. I do believe that Clint paved the way for them and Ron's phenomenal ability to meet customers request goes beyond reproach. Today, the corn beef hash was spectacular! I love the large helping and the flavor utilizing special seasonings! Moreover, as I said, the biscuits were perfect as were the eggs over medium. I have to say I love coming to this metro because it's truly feels like a family. You walk in you feel warm, welcomed and embraced and that's because of the team they have. This is an excellent location with excellent service! Thank you, Metro for Clinton and Ron! read more

Wonderful "home cooking" menu selections. They make the best pot pies I've ever had the pleasure of eating. Too bad they aren't bigger, because there's usually a wait for tables on weekends and holidays. read more

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. read more

Metro Diner - Eggs Benedict with home fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I really don't like giving bad reviews to a location with great staff. We ate here several years ago and it was good basic food. Not so much this time with worse conditions. While the staff was excellent and helpful this place was downright dirty. At first we did not notice it but as we ate we saw a lot of wrongs. We saw the booth area as we were leaving actually had liquid of some sort on the far side from probably a customer spilling something and it was not cleaned up or the staff was never told. Upon sitting there we noticed the floor tiles were grey, not the color but from not being cleaned.. additionally, as I was eating I could see into the ante-room and the walls had black going up from the floor onto the walls. This place needs a good scrub down and refresh. Now the food. I enjoy breakfast for dinner but how do you screw up pancakes? They were chewy and heavy with a very weird tasting syrup. I had to use a knife to cut them whereas they should be fork tender. My wife had a Hot Chicken sandwich which turned out to be fried chicken with Hot Honey poured on top rather than chicken fried in Hot Honey mixed in the oil. Horrible. We finished about half and decided to cut our losses, Luckily, I had found a coupon for half off my entree' and I put the savings towards the tip to my server who was good at her job and efficient; it was n't her fault about the cleanliness or the food being bad. I think Metro diner needs to check out some real Diners and learn how to provide a clean environment that serves good solid food; not the poor excuse for it that was served here. read more

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. read more

Metro Diner - Meat Lovers Omelet, cheese grits, toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My Metro is Great- The others are fine, but Baymeadows is wonderful! Thanksgiving Waffle a fave!

Messed up my order and then didn't get my refund for a week which I had to call multiple times. Finally got the refund and he didn't refund the amount that was promised in the first conversation. Horrible service! read more

We've been there many times alone or with guests. Great food, great service and always busy. Everything is fabulous. Just like Grandma's if she could cook. You will fall in love like we did. read more

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. read more

The chicken and waffles were good ($17). We'd get them again. My wife would just get the chicken, which she considered to be Jollibee-level, again, but I like me some waffles occasionally, so I'd get both. Sharing one serving was more than enough for the both of us! We took the final piece of chicken (of four), the biggest one, home to freeze it and eat it later. We got a side of cole slaw ($4). It was below average. You need to add some fiber to a meal like this, however, so next time maybe we'd try a side of fruit. I wanted to try everything on their menu: it all sounded good. I did see they have biscuits with sausage gravy available as a side, which would be a nice way to try it. We had to wait about 10 minutes to get a seat late on a Sunday morning. We waited outside, where the loudspeaker calling out names was far too loud. Inside, it was a bit loud and crowded, which isn't my favorite thing, but at least we had a booth. read more

I'm from out of state. My first visit left me with nothing but great things to say about the food and service. I even started making my biscuits and gravy with cheese! I must say, I was excited again for breakfast! The atmosphere seemed pretty cool, and place was crowded! This time...I don't know what happened. I usually take pictures of my food, but I wasn't prepared. I had to return my food because I didn't get the right potatoes. My order was eggs Benedict with crab cakes, hash browns with grilled onions, and a side of bacon. My order came with home fries and had to be exchanged for the hash browns. When I got my plate back, my friend still hadn't received his food. My food was a little more than warm at best, and anyone who orders poached eggs, looks forward to the runny yolk. The yolk looked like it wanted to run, but it was gelatinous. The crab cake was overcooked as well, and my grilled onions were set on top of my hash browns. The Hollandaise sauce was kind of tart and lacked flavor. The bacon, coffee and service were the best parts of breakfast. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits. He also had to send his food back to be re-prepared. The grits were served in a block and not all creamy. Although he said that was his fault, he did say that the sauce wasn't like usual. It was too thick and gelatinous as well. When he got his order back, the sauce was a little thinner, but broken and there was butter or whatever was used, around the edge of the bowl, and throughout the sauce. He hardly ate any. He said the shrimp was the only thing good. The sauce took away from the grits, which were better the second time. The restaurant was busy, but there was a lot of talk and laughter around the grill. It's great to have fun while you work, but not at the customer's expense. My friend only recognized a couple of people in that area, so there may have been a new cook staff. I visit Jacksonville often, and this is one of my friend's go to breakfast spots, but we may have to try a different location next time. read more

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 read more

I had a bowl of their shrimp corn chowder. It was very good. I also ordered the boneless chicken wings which were not so good. They are simply of poor quality. Ordered with teriyaki spicy sauce. Not a trace of spice. I can't recommend them at all. Service was good and it definitely has that "diner" ambiance going for it. read more

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! read more

Omg their loaded cheese fries are so damn good but I couldn't find it on door dash menu idk if they removed it

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. read more

Convenient location clean good service good food fair prices friendly staff nice specials

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. read more

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. read more

Metro Diner - Bacon, Egg & Cheese Croissant with extra egg, a heaping portion of potatoes covered with onions and peppers - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This was such a letdown. I ordered the chicken parm again because it was amazing the last time I had it. What I got today was dry, burnt, and barely had any pasta with it. If I were eating in the restaurant, I would've sent it back immediately -- but with delivery, I'm stuck with it. It really feels like there's no quality assurance for takeout orders. I expected better, especially after how good it was before. read more

Alway great friendly service and good food after mass!!!! Breakfast for dinner is okay!!!! I really enjoy coming here read more

Today things went great. Sat quickly the waitress was super polite made great suggestions and helped get the combo I wanted. The hibiscus unsweetened tea is delish.

This my first visit to a Metro Diner but my wife has been to several locations. Not a lot to say, honestly. Just great food and great service. There was a wait, but it was 10:30 on a Sunday morning, so we expected that. Once we were seated, service was fast and attentive. I'd like to come back for other food later in the day sooner than later. read more

the menu offers a wide variety of food and choice. I ordered the avocado toast with a side of grits. the toast was bland and the avocado tasted a day old and lazy. my partner ordered the crab cake Benedict because it was the special. both entrees were sub par if i'm being completely honest. i don't see how this place is popular the food was not seasoned and the coffee cups were dirty i had to return my cup. waitress was great though! read more

Went to dinner with friends last night. Food was excellent! Julie, our server, was great!! Hadn't been to this location before. Loved the "old diner" feel. read more

I was not impressed. I found the food to be very bland. I won't be going back, and giving another chance.

Can anyone say anything bad about Metro Diner? I only wish we had one In Nassau County. Well then I might be big as a house, but what delicious food! This is a restaurant that constantly scores perfectly during each visit. Brianna was our server and she was absolutely divine. She makes the patron feel like they are so welcome. I mostly order breakfast at most all diners because I at least know I can finish my meal...usually. Order anything else and prepare for doggy bag status. It's all good, nope great read more

Today was a sad day , we typically love this spot, Service was beyond horrible, had to get up a couple times to get more condiment for our coffees, we waited 25 min prior to being served . Kept having to flag down waiter to get any service during meal , people that sat down after us got there food before us.. My wife's and my food was barely warm, as if it had been Sitting a while, butter wouldn't even melt when putting the butter between the stack.. We would have sent it all back if we weren't starving , and could have waited . Which we don't understand they had plenty of wait staff , and two runners .. read more

We dropped by this location of Metro Diner for lunch and it wasn't as busy as the other locations I've visited, but we still had to wait for a table (maybe short staffing). Due to the short staffing our server might have had more tables than he could handle. He was very polite, but slow about getting the table stuff we need, and he didn't check back to make sure we were satisfied. The food was very good. I had a BLT. read more

Found this little gem by chance and so glad we got there early!! Looks like the locals know where to eat!! We had the meat lovers bowl and the biscuits and gravy breakfast. Delicious!! Huge portions ! Neither of us could finish our meal. Service was top notch, very friendly staff. I would love to come back!! Maybe on my return trip!! read more

Outstanding Fish and Chips now made with cod and beer battered. Best I've had in a long time. Service was outstanding. Kitchen performance was excellent. Menu recently upgraded from the cut down Covid era. If you haven't been lately, it's time to go enjoy your old favorites again. Chris is running a great show and his people are bristling with warm hospitality. read more

Food was good and reasonably priced, but the best part was the service, outstanding service!

I love everything on Metro Diners menu plus the service! Food always comes out quickly and tasted amazing. My husband loves their bold city burger since he's a meat lover but I love the Bissell breakfast which is like a make your own with a ton of options of any kind of eggs, any bread type, hash brown or grits with different options of meat to choose from and a side of pancakes. Absolute joy every time we come on the weekend! Also, our service was so sweet and observant. Our servers name was Desiree. I'm glad we were able to be seated in her section and served! Highly recommend! read more
