Stopped by for dinner while in the area to shop at Kohls nearby. This place has the diner vibe, but doesn't look old and tired. Very pleasing ambiance and well maintained. Service was attentive and very friendly. Ordered the roasted corn and shrimp cheddar soup which was the soup of the day. It was served within a few minutes. Also had sirloin tips with mashed potatoes and green beans. Food was warm and delicious! Well made and perfectly seasoned. Reasonably priced. read more

We went to the diner to have a nice breakfast. There was a good crown at the diner but we were seated quickly. All the staff members are very friendly and helpful. We each ordered a fried egg with hash browns and bacon. Our orders were delivered in about 5 minutes. Everything was freshly made, served nice and hot and looked amazing. The taste was delicious! I will definitely be back to Metro Dinet for more meals. I highly recommend this diner. read more

The good is always amazing! I love the quaint and homey feeling of this restaurant. We always feel welcome. However, our waitress disappeared after we got our food. I had to get my own to go container for my leftovers. There weren't an overwhelming number of tables the night we went. Other times we've gone, the service has been great. Maybe she was having an off night. The food was delicious, as always. We had 6 people in our party. We had the following items: boneless wings with hot honey, croissant french toast meal, three egg breakfast, cheese fries, chicken sandwich and chicken Benedict. We ended dinner with Apple cinnamon bread pudding and a chocolate cake. read more

This is a great spot for families. It is shocking that we didn't have to wait for a table while we visited Madison. The service at Metro was incredible. We were there twice in a week and had two different servers. Most noticeable for us was the enthusiasm that they had for their workplace. Both long term employees, excited to share their recommendations and very attentive. I barely touched my coffee and that prompted one of the servers to make sure that I liked it. The food was excellent. We were looking for a diner in the area that served breakfast all day. The kids and the adults loved their food. They have a good balance of healthy options and the classic pancake/less healthy but delicious stuff. Finally, the owner was onsite and we met him on the way out to share our experience. Being in business, we were impressed at this this place operated and loved the food. If you live in Madison, this should be a go-to place. If you're stopping over, like we did, check it out! We'll be back when we're going through the area again! read more

this place was so good food wise, i got the biscuits and gravy and the biscuits themselves were enough for me to want to go back, loved the theme of the green lights and classic diner style. service was okay but it was a busy morning, just got our order taken and then the check brought to us but not rude to us or anything. read more

Went for breakfast today. Food was great! Service from Stephanie was superb. Both restaurant & this server can't be topped. Well done!

SUPER friendly service and great food made for a fun time! My wife is a very picky eater but also loves to try new things. Metro Diner has plenty of standards, as well as different types of meals for all tastes. We'll definitely be back. read more

Old school type diner with great food and great service! Food tastes home cooked and there's a great selection!

I really enjoyed my breakfast here. The service was fast enough and kept my coffee cup full. We sat at the bar. It was really busy for breakfast time. I ordered the avocado toast with no tomatoes with a side of eggs and home fries extra crispy. Everything was well seasoned and reasonably priced. Overall I'd recommend this restaurant and gladly come back. read more

July 2025 got to go to Metro Diner near Outback Steakhouse in Madison. Been 2 years since I been here. Took my honey there for breakfast, had adult beverages for breakfast, a chain has 20 restaurants throughout the SOUTH! Yup I sure would go again. Eggs Benedict & flights of mimosa. Orange, and 3 others. read more

Metro Diner is a win win any time you go. Breakfast is amazing and delicious. I wanted to try it all and for $21 I had coffee, the bissell breakfast which is your choice of meat(I had Turkey sausage links), two eggs cooked to order, hashbrowns or grits (I got the hashbrowns) toast, and pancakes (I added banana to the pancakes), plus a side of the cheesiest grits. It was SO much food I brought home half. The banana pancakes are absolutely best in the area, the bananas are sliced and cooked in the pancake so it almost is caramelized and perfect. The Turkey sausage had a great flavor to it and the hashbrowns were delicious. Hands down it was some amazing coffee as well. Service was great, I got there when they opened and my waitress was very attentive and refilled my coffee multiple times without asking. She was great and provided friendly service and they were getting busy. Atmosphere is great typical diner feel but homey. The breakfast is delicious, service is great. I will definitely go back and try different things, maybe, the bissell breakfast might be my favorite, lots of options. read more

The food here was okay. We got the pancakes and they were okay for me. Very thick and filling. The hot chicken biscuit was really good. The chicken was fried perfectly and very flavorful, but biscuit was cold. I would come back and taste their chicken but not any time soon. The ambience is very homey. And the service was great.

Food and service was excellent for a group of 7. Portions and taste for a group breakfast together with an excellent server who kept our coffee cups full allowed our retiree breakfast to not be rushed. read more

Came here for BFast. Got a basic meal of eggs, sausage, hash browns, and toast. A third egg was something like $0.80, so that was a good deal. No sourdough bread, so I settled for whole-wheat. The butter is in a small package and refrigerated (frozen??), which makes it a challenge to spread on the toast. The place was very busy on a Saturday morning at 0930, but the staff did a good job managing things. Lastly, our server Brandon did a good job taking care of us. Solid experience. Cheers!

I stopped here early and was greeted promptly. I found the restaurant to be very clean along with the bathroom was well maintained. They have an open kitchen so you can see the kitchen as they are cooking your food. I got the chicken and waffles and I can tell you that the chicken was cooked to perfection, the waffles were very fluffy and everything came out hot. read more

This always fast and the food is good!The service was good and friendly.Always an enjoyable meal.

there was a wait but you can make a spot online for your party. it was a little small but not really. great service very kind. The food comes out very fast. read more

We always enjoy eating here. We come a lot after getting off work at the hospital. They open early AND serve alcohol! The wait is never terribly long and they have amazing mixed drinks. What more could an ER Nurse want?! My personal favorite is the Bloody Mary (made the O'Charleys way). And you can't go wrong with any of the mimosas! I just wish they had the option to order a pitcher! The chicken and waffles with strawberry butter is to die for. You have the option for spicy or normal syrup. The spicy doesn't have too much heat. It's just right. Shrimp and grits is another one of our favorites! Nomtastic! The prices are also fair for the amount of food you get. The tables and restrooms are usually very clean and well kept. You can pretty much always count on there being a decent amount of noise because they stay busy! read more

Went back today to get my grilled cheese with ham and onion rings Raven was the server. I explained the last situation . The onion rings and sandwich were done up perfectly. Good food, good service. Raven did fine as well as the cook read more

The Metro Diner on Airport Road never disappoints, so when we were in Madison and dying for brunch...well, it was an obvious choice for us. Of note: this place is super busy on weekends (unsure about other days), so do yourself a favor and reserve your place on the waitlist online/via phone. Despite the heavy crowds, we were seated promptly once we arrived and our server--whose name unfortunately I missed--kept things moving quickly. She even put up with better half's dad jokes. Coffee was kept refilled, order was taken promptly, etc. My bissell breakfast did not disappoint--the bacon here was a bit better than on Airport Road's, even--and better half's omelet was not only huge but well prepared. No one is reinventing the wheel here, but for a good meal you could do far, far worse. Of note: parking is a giant pain in the rear, this one has more restroom space than the other one in Huntsville but it needed attention (which I will forgive as they were slammed), expect your usual mass of Madison humanity complaining about wait times while tapping their overpriced flats. read more

Ordered eggs over medium (see photo). They were so underdone that they looked like they were floating in water. Disgusting. Waitress looked straight at them left on my plate and asked/said nothing. Also had to beg for water refills. They were not busy. Who TH messes up eggs? It's like the easiest thing on the plate. Will not return. read more

Metro Diner - Terribly underdone eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madison, Alabama

Awesome food, great and friendly service! I would recommend trying this restaurant for breakfast/brunch! Great job folks..

I ordered ahead of time so I could go in and right out. The 2 servers were laughing and talking looked at me and turned back to each other and continued their laughing and talking. Then when I tried to say something they just continued. I asked for extra condiments and she stated they're in the bag as she stapled the bag shut. Then they continued their laughing and talking. I had 1 of each in the bag. I happen to like mayo with my fries is why asked. Even the manager was rude when I called. Metro on airport would never act this way or tolerate such shoddy service. read more

This was one fantastic breakfast. I had the Protein Breakfast. The sausage links and bacon were great quality for a reasonable priced diner. The eggs on every plate were done to perfection. Service was far beyond your typical diner and was four if not five star level. I was quite shocked by it. Not what you would expect. We also had one of the Steak Bowls, an omelette and a waffle to split. The omelette was heavenly. Great texture and flavor. The waffle was fluffy, tasty and simply perfect. Not a hint of over done anywhere. This is a great place for breakfast and I will be back. read more

Adequate at best. I had the meatloaf, mashed potatoes with green beans. The meatloaf was nothing but ground beef and a little seasoning. The potatoes were ok, and so were the green beans. Our service was pretty good but everyone working there look so sketchy. We gave it a try. I feel certain we won't return. read more

It was way too cold in there. On top of the excessively low temps, the staff was making way too much noise. I'm wondering if they would have been quieter if a manager were there. The food was good, but would have been better if we didn't have to hear yelling and joking coming out of the kitchen Do they know we can hear them!? read more

Metro diner was better than expected. The wait was about 30 minutes. Hostess and server were both very polite. I had the western omelette with hash browns and pancakes. Delicious!! Very large serving size. My daughter had the bisselle breakfast which was equally amazing. This will be one of my new brunch spots. read more

Great little local breakfast place if you are in town (Madison location). Parking is minimal in the front, but there is plenty in the back. No gender neutral bathrooms and no changing tables in the men's room. The inside was a bit loud, but as it started to thin out, it was a bit quieter. All in all a cool little breakfast spot. Our food was cooked perfectly, and they wait staff was attentive. We will definitely be back! Happy Eats! (BTW- they have military discount!) read more

The Metro Diner is a wonderful place to get a wholesome breakfast/lunch/dinner with the hustle bustle feel of a real diner. Sundays are probably the most busy but the food is really that good. If you watch cooking shows and want a 'Bird's Eye' view of how a kitchen operation should look like, sit at the bar on a Sunday Morning. The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is warm. read more

I have actually been to a Yelp event here locally at our Metro Dinner. I believe most of the delicious food we were served was dinner items. So when I found another location in a city I visited recently, I wanted to see if their breakfast was just as good as their dinner. I decided to try their French toast. It's actually 4 pieces of buttery croissants. And omg, they were so good!! I forgot that they were even croissants and not regular bread. Now unfortunately, the French toast doesn't come with anything so I ordered a side of your typical bacon and eggs. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast. The food was fresh and prepared quickly. The star of the plate was definitely the French toast. You can't go wrong with anything at Metro Dinner. Everything is great!! read more

Food is just the best. I recommend trying their waffles. The food was hot and so was the syrup. The owner told me a special way to do the syrup. It was (at home version) microwave your syrup and add a bit of hot sauce. The restaurant way was to take the thin bottle of hot sauce and add three drops. The syrup already comes hot so that makes it easier. The ambiance is like a old fashion diner. They have the old types of chairs and the tables to fit them. The colors are nice too. read more
