The service was perfect ! Thanks to Nathan ! And the food... delicious ! We will come again !!!

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 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!

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!

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

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.

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.

I'm so mad at myself because the food was so good I honestly forgot to take pictures. By the time…read moreI thought about it, we were already eating, and there was no turning back. We visited Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' at Disney Springs, and this was definitely one of my favorite meals while in Orlando. We started with the White Peach Sangria, the Church Lady Deviled Eggs, and the Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp. Now those shrimp deserve their own moment. They're tossed in house-made hot honey and served with remoulade, and they were SO good. Sweet, a little heat, salty from the bacon... just a really good combination. For dinner, we shared Art's Famous Fried Chicken and the Meatloaf Main Plate. The fried chicken is buttermilk-brined for 24 hours and came with creamy mashed potatoes and a cheddar drop biscuit. The chicken was seasoned, juicy, crispy... exactly what fried chicken is supposed to be. And the meatloaf surprised me because I don't usually go somewhere like this thinking, "Let me order the meatloaf." But I'm glad we did. It came with mashed potatoes, Southern green beans, and that cheddar drop biscuit. Comfort food done RIGHT. Everything we had was good. Not "it was okay" good. I mean we were sitting there eating, sharing plates, and talking about how good everything was. And apparently it was good enough for me to completely forget I do food reviews and should probably take pictures first. Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' at Disney Springs... I'll definitely be back.

This place was an amazing spot to eat at in Disney Springs and had some of the best food I ate…read moreduring my trip in Florida. 4.5/5 We came pretty late to the establishment after a long day at the theme parks. We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

I was about 25 minutes away, when I took my family here, and they were wondering where we were going, but let me tell you, they were not disappointed by the food, service and the surround area. When we arrived, it seemed like a downtown area that was kind of chill because it was a Tuesday early evening. Barely any traffic around and tons of open parking, especially right in front to the restaurant. From the front I noticed some funny signs, a patio that was wide open for seating, yard games and a nice cozy dive bar vibe. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted at the counter by our server. It was not busy, there was actually only one customer sitting at the bar. The bar has about 6 seats and has TVs to watch and the restaurant if filled with tons of cool Classic Rock pictures, memorabilia and quotes. It was just the vibe we needed to just hang as a family. The server allowed us to pick any table we wanted. We ordered margaritas. They were delicious. We also has the RIBS, okra, mac & cheese, potato salad, some greens, cornbread, brisket, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING, including the SERVICE was on point; we left well fed, satisfied and happy we found this place to eat tonight. To walk off the food , there is a park right across the street. At the park you will find food trucks for dessert, like ice cream on a hot day. There's also a walking trail and a play ground for the kiddos. There was an area where people were fishing off the doc. I saw an area where people also get married and a facility for our veterans. I included some pictures of what I saw along my way after I left the restaurant for people looking for things to do in the area with a family and/or friends. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by this restaurant for some good eats, drinks and just a place to relax and have a good time. There's also service is great and the area is filled with things to do afterwards. Thank me later.

For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.
