Shrimp and grits
Cynthia H.

This is a diner chain. It was actually really good. A tad bit too much of the sauce on the grits and shrimp. But I ate every single bite so not complaining. My aunt had salmon and thought she ordered reg rice but the rice is actually a medley. She did not like it...it didn't even look appealing and she traded it for grits. The waitress was very attentive and friendly! Place was clean and I really enjoyed our conversation time. There were 4 of us and we do not see each other very often so we took up the table for quite some time. They let us stay as long as we wanted. I'll definitely be back

Metro Diner is a cozy, classic diner with an enormous menu and fabulous looking specials that rotate throughout the week. I wandered in for a to-go order - and a big shout out to Ciera, who took great care of me and helped with some customizations on my sandwich! The potatoes were crisp and fresh and sandwich bright with avocado and greens on hearty toast. I really enjoyed and will be back to dine in!

Small town diner in Orlando area. And it claims it's where the locals eat. It was delicious. Very quaint with the checkered floor and comfortable seats. Our server Deria was super! She knew her stuff. And sadly had to break my heart with the mimosa flight not being available Sunday mornings. I ordered the avocado breakfast sandwich, and the banana bread pudding because if I couldn't have alcohol I would have sugar. The avocado breakfast sandwich came with mayo and i didn't want the two creamy textures in my sandwich, so I asked for it to be taken off. It sadly came with it on the sandwich. Not a huge deal, didn't ruin the experience. I didn't finish it because it was huge and asked for a box, the box had a long black hair in it. I took it out but then since the sever was still there I asked for a new one. She apologized and got me a new box. I just wasn't really happy with that aspect. The banana bread pudding was wonderful. The added bananas and whipped cream was perfect. All in all a wonderful experience that had issues similar to life.

Place had a little wait , but food was brought up fast and server was great , food had great taste and place is a little overcrowded, I try the one in Jacksonville and is way better , so disappointed they didn't had a Montecristo sandwich like in Jacksonville, but definitely they need to do better on wait time to be seated

Looking for a good place to eat lunch together as a family before heading to Universal Studios for the day I found Metro Diner on Yelp with some pretty impressive reviews. Well, those raves were well deserved. To begin with, we were greeted upon entering the restaurant. The hostess and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The place rocks a diner vibe that makes you feel nostalgic, happy, and upbeat. Once we were seated our server was on scene post haste. She took our drink orders and answered our questions. We learned that they make everything on site. And the food we had was great! This is a smallish chain and I will definitely keep my eyes open when traveling to different places and visit Metro if they're around.

While in Kissimmee this is a must stop for All-day day breakfast, lunch or dinner. Everything is freshly made and worth any wait you may experience. A stop for DDD in 2013, anything and everything is delicious. We dined on steak home fries bowl, meat lovers home fries bowl, avocado toast and a bacon egg-cheese croissant with hash browns. Our waitress was great and so many staff members jumped in as needed. Highly recommended.

Metro Diner gives you so much bang for your buck! The quantities were huge, we had to take some home but everything was delicious and made well. The wait was short but the staff made the experience. John our waiter went above & beyond and was SO nice! We loved him! Thank you!

The inside of the restaurant has table and bench seating, as well as a large square shaped bar with plenty of seats. The booths are hardwood not padded, and the tables are solid metal. Their signature item is fried chicken. We ordered the Fried Chicken and Doughnuts. It comes with 2 pieces of chicken, 2 doughnuts and a side of mashed potatoes for $32. We thought it was a perfect meal to share between two because each person gets a piece of fried chicken and a doughnut. The chicken is extra greasy and topped with powdered sugar. It was very good but it still does not rate as highly as Publix or KFC for me. The doughnut was great. I would compare it to a fresh glazed from Krispy Kreme. Service was excellent. We were seated immediately, and greeted at our table by a friendly and efficient server. Overall, everything went well. The prices are high but this is expected due to the location. I would definitely return to try more of the menu.

Lindsay gets a special shout-out for being kind, caring, and attentive! What a ray of sunshine! She was so excited when she arrived with my dessert (she made a brownie sundae just for me). It was everything you would want in a sweet treat. A perfectly warm brownie and cold vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream just hits, and they do it right! 2. The. Meats. Were. GREAT. I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love. All I could do was smile as I ate my lunch, knowing I have an amazing bbq spot so close to me. 3. The corn nuggets were SO GOOD and SO comforting. Crispy, sweet, and perfect. I eyed the menu before going, and these caught my eye immediately. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to have them again! 4. The sauces were FIRE. The sweet and the crimson were perfect to us. 5. Who doesn't like 80s Rock and Roll?! Its one of those places that make you feel at home. The location is perfect, as well. Lakefront is a great place to dily dally while you digest the deliciousness.

Such a cute, cozy little café! We had come by Buchito in the downtown Kissimmee area one morning…read moresome months ago but at the time they were closed. Had an early start to the day on 11/11 and decided to swing by and I must say, that was a good decision. LOL! The service is courteous, friendly and quick. Very neat and clean little place. The interiors are fashioned after old European cafes. Very charming! We had the Bacon and egg bagel sandwich, the Spanish avocado toast, a cafe con leche and a mocha latte. The husband said his bagel sandwich was good, not great and could be better if the egg was seasoned. He loved his coffee. My mocha latte was good, could be better if the ratio of the chocolate was increased just a smidgen. But I was absolutely blown away by the Spanish avocado toast! What a delicious combination of quality Spanish chorizo, guacamole, boiled egg slices and onions! It was hands down the best thing I've had for breakfast in years! Offered the husband a bite and he concurred. If not for anything else, we'd definitely return for just this one dish. LOL! Highly recommend trying the Spanish avocado toast at Buchito. It's pure delight in every bite.

If you are super sensitive or have celiac, just beware of that. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Conveniently located in the theme parks area near Orlando.

You order at a kiosk fast food style, but all of the food is then prepared freshly and authentically. They have a huge menu with all kinds of delicious Latin eats like sandwiches and platters. We absolutely loved our Cuban sammies which came on thick and sweet bread. My kids kept it simple with tenders and fries and also enjoyed! They have a big drink selection and you can find everything from juices to fresh cocktails. The biggest hit was their large indoor screened patio - perfect for my kids to run around. If you want to avoid fast food but also don't feel like taking your kids to a proper sit down restaurant than this is a really great option.

There are plenty of places to take cute Instagram pictures. However, that does not help the overall score of the rest of the experience. When we first arrived, we were instructed to review the menu at a seat-yourself station and then return to the front to place our order. There were some interesting and tasty-looking options to pick from. Unfortunately, I was a bit perplexed by the pricing on the menu versus what came up on the cash register. I ordered the Mixed Berries Crepes with Nutella ($11), and I was going to order a Strawberry Boba for $5, but instead my total was nearing $25 dollars?? The pricing did not match the menu. The cash register didn't seem very friendly. When I noticed my crepe read "Banana/Strawberry" instead of Mixed Berry. I clarified I was getting the correct order. She told me, "Yes, yes." (Spoil alert: I did not get the mixed berries but instead a Strawberry and Banana Crepe...) I paid, and then took the little marker flag with a number they give you so the waitresses can find the correct table to deliver the orders to. My coworker and I waited in the back for our orders. Although we ordered back-to-back, the orders were fulfilled at different intervals. When my order finally arrived, the waitress was looking for the right table to deliver it to. I raised my hand and said it was my order. She looked at me with scrutiny as if I were lying to her. ( What was the point of the flag marker with the number then, if you're uncertain of the order???) My crepe was pretty, but overall, it was okay in flavor and taste. It wasn't very hot, though, and was lukewarm. I would give the crepe a 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't anything I'd come running back for. The staff wasn't the friendliest and seemed confused and disorganized. I would not come back here again. Read the prior low reviews, as most of the complaints others have had with this establishment seem to be a running occurrence.

I felt my questions weren't heard correctly, very much a language barrier there. I did my best to be patient and simplify, but i felt like i was being rude in doing that, so i just settled and ordered from a picture instead of what i wanted. The coffee was fine, the croissant was good. Minimal service once you sit down and get your order. The place i wanted to go was closed.. so we settled, and Im kind of bummed it wasn't better. Hope you have a better experience than me.
