I had the best pot pie ever!! The pot roasts incredible and the chicken OR the waffles are spot on.

I have eaten here a few times and the food is ok., Tried different things to see if I wanted to keep going. The last time I went though nailed it for me I will not return first we sat there for 20 minutes no drinks no food, finally we got the waitress. Ordered our food waited around 20 minutes to get it not bad amount of time but when we got it it was all cold. (weird but ok) Whatever by that time we were so hungry we ate it. We sat there with no refiled and several items missing from our meals. (sauces, ranch, sour cream, creamer for the coffee) We finish and sat there waiting for our check for 35 min. Holy crap are you kidding. I tapped on the shoulder of another server asking for it she said she will get the server and they never came back. I finally decided to get up and walk toward the area where the cash register was to just pay. The server than walked up to me handed me the ticket and walked away. Didnt take my payment I had to stand there for another 5 min waiting for someone to ring me up. read more

I've only lived here for almost 8 months and by far this is my favorite restaurant in Alabama! I crave it everyday and my favorite dish is the Waffles & Chickens. And I tends to ordered it more often then the other dishes but I love every dish I've tried so far. In addition, their customer services, the employees from servers to waitresses, waiters, are friendly and mostly on point with assisting customers. I truly would love to see this restaurant to expands much bigger than it is because it is always so crowded and that is a great thing because it shows how much the community and other potential customers enjoying the foods and everything about Metro Diner. I love the board they have serving daily new specials and just the atmosphere too is very warm and welcoming.This place deserves double stars of provided for mega excellence! Thank you for serving! Love it! read more

Good food and large portions. We've been several times and keep going back to try something new. They have specials all the time. So you can find a new dishes weekly. Tried the Monte Cristo this time. It was ok. Not the best one I've ever had, but decent. I'll try something else next time. read more

First time eating here. Service was nice. Atmosphere was comfy. Place was packed. We ordered Bold City Burger and Crispy Chicken Sandwich, fries and onion rings. No pictures of our food this time. Everything looked so good so we said our prayers and dug in! Definitely worth it. Not greasy at all. Next time, we know that we can share just one plate. There is the regular menu and a "special" menu on a chalkboard. Breakfast anytime. read more

Good, but nothing super special about it. Wait staff was super friendly and prompt, but food was average.

Interview Monday. Super excited and a tiny bit nervous, considering I've been a shut in for a year now. Once the funds hit I'll have a real smile. read more

My wife returned the next to speak to the manager Chris. He was very apologetic about both orders being incorrect. Our meal was refunded from the night before and he gave my wife a free dinner right there. She got the Croissant French Toast and said it was very good. So we will give it another try soon and see if we will raise the rating. read more

Greasy, sub par food with sad, very slow service. Asked for crispy bacon and got is flappy and undercooked....my over medium eggs however were way over cooked. Yoke wasn't even runny. This was second visit and their second chance. I'll never come again. read more

Best meatloaf and mashed potatoes I've ever had! (Sorry Mom!) Great service too. There was a small issue with our order which the manager, Marco, proactively informed us of and took steps to address. He made us feel genuinely appreciated as customers. Excellent experience all around. We'll be back! read more

Bethany was awesome! I love that the food, service, and cleanliness is always so consistent. The atmosphere and food is unique. The menu has something for everyone with some unusual choices to the everyday eats that meet even the most discerning palette. Love this place! read more

We were seated as soon as we walked in on 06/30/19@5:00 p.m, the tables were full all around us. First time visiting so need time anyways to review the menu, no waiter had still presented itself, so we waited some more. Other customers had come in a been seated and had their drink orders taken already. We watched this happen several times and still no one had come to our table. We left after waiting 30 minutes. So disappointed!!!! read more

Excellent breakfast choices, but I always get the same thing every time because no one does fluffy scrambled eggs better. Best turkey sausage I've ever had, and you can't beat their Poinsettias. The servers all go out of their way to make everyone feel like family, and I see lots of regulars whenever I go. Feels like you're meeting friends and having great food at the same time. read more

Had the western omelette and hash brown potatoes. Omelette was good but potatoes were too cooked to eat. Staff very friendly and would have made it right but I did not want to wait. read more

Service, quality of establishment and atmosphere were all closer to a 5 star. Unfortunately not the reason a hungry person goes in search of food. The food was certainly no greater than the 3 star rating provided here. read more

Awful service & cold food! Waited over 30 minutes for seating, because we were told they were seating fanilies of 4 not 3 (even though we sat at a 4 top table). Ordered our food as soon as we sat down, but after 35 minutes had to ask where our food was. Told our order was next. The food was cold (sent back twice only to get the same plate with same cold food on it) and they forgot my daughters food. The manager came by and said she was taking care of the order, but that does not make anything better. I would rather pay for good service & food not free and terrible. I gave it 1 star because the waitress was nice. read more

Went in for breakfast, ended up having brunch! We first stood for 30 minutes waiting for a table then sat for 45 minutes waiting for food. I kept telling my kids to be patient, telling them it will be worth the wait; I was wrong. I ordered eggs over-medium, they arrived severely undercooked! Eating raw egg whites or anything they touched would be a gamble. So I ate very little. My wife ordered Eggs Benedict, the Canadian bacon was cold. Eventually we were asked how the food was. I told my server that the eggs were not cooked, he offered to take them back, I told him I was out of time, he said ok and walked away. He returned minutes later with my bill. No visit from the management, no offer to take something off the bill. Disappointed and will not be back! I regret leaving a tip. read more

Metro Diner scored a health score of 77 in the month of February. They refused to post their health score because they were attempting to deceive the guest. A guest called the health department because they refused to post the health score(btw is against the law). They scored a 82 this round. Please understand their food is not temping accurately. The only time they attempt to meet requirement is when the health inspector visit. Their equipment is NOT working properly and they are NOT doing anything to fix it..Take your chances it is like Russian roulette. If they don't post their health score, what is the telling you about their establishment read more

Everything is amazing! You can't beat the spicy honey chicken on a biscuit for four dollars.

I don't get the hype. The food wasn't that great. I had the chicken and waffles and ordered shrimp and grits to go. The chicken was super salty and the waffles weren't so great. The shrimp and grits were ok. Wait staff was great, very friendly. They did apologize about the chicken (in fact the manager comped my meal and gave a gift certificate for me to try them again). When I try again I'll update my post. read more

Being from out of town, Minnesota to be specific, we were lucky enough to find this great place on Yelp. My family loved it! The spinach salad was the best we have had all five if us gave a five star rating. My kids wanted me to add that they, 9 yr old daughter and 18 yr old son, even loved the Brussels sprouts in the salmon dinner, who would have guessed? read more

Truly terrible food. The burger I ordered was tasteless and topped with soggy shredded lettuce. Felt sick 15 minutes after eating a few bites. My son had a waffle. It was also bland. You'd be better off eating at the Waffle House than Metro read more

This place is awesome! After living in Chicago for a few years and attempting to eat chicken and waffles there I felt the need to try chicken and waffles at Metro Diner. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the strawberry butter they put on the waffles was phenomenal as well, and their syrup and hot sauce blend was the perfect sweet/spice I was looking for. Thanks Metro Diner, my wife and I will be back. read more

First time visiting here after hearing many good comments from others. I had breakfast: sausage patties, fried eggs, hash browns & pancakes. All were good except the pancakes -- they looked good but were chewy. Service was great. I will definitely return but will pass on the pancakes. read more

I've been to this location several times and have always been impressed with quality of food and service, however today was a different experience and hopefully just an "off" day. Coffee cup was dirty, service was slow, even though there were only 4 tables filled. Food was warm and not heated consistently throughout. I'll return in a week or so to see if this was a fluke experience, or to verify things have gone "down hill." read more

Great breakfast and friendly, fast service no matter how busy they are. I love the San Francisco Eggs Benedict with tomato and avocado and the home fries. They do perfectly poached eggs. I'm going to try the shrimp and grits next visit :) read more

Food was good. Service was terrible. Very slow and had to ask 2-3 times for everything. Sitting here right now and have been waiting over 10 mins for the check. Won't be frequenting again anytime soon read more

We went on a Saturday night around 730. We expected it to be busy so having a wait wouldn't be out of question. We waited about 25 mins for a table. We were seated and already knew what we wanted to order. We ordered and apparently you can't substitute mashed potatoes with Mac n cheese without paying the full price for the side item. The didn't have the Grit Cakes for the shrimp and grits (we can only assume that they were frozen and weren't made fresh since they were out of the cakes, but had loose grits). So we ordered drinks and sat and talked about what else we would get. After 15 minutes the waitress came back and didn't have our drinks still. We left and will probably not go back for a while. Idk if the food is good, but service was crap. read more

My family (me, my husband and my 2 year old) have been to breakfast here several times now. The first time we went was within a day or two of opening and our order was missing a dish, napkins missing, drinks weren't refilled, but the staff was very apologetic and gave us a $10 gift card to try again. The next several times after that initial visit we've had great service, attentive wait staff and of course Mr. Tim is amazing at recognizing our 2 year old by name and going out of his way to talk to our toddler even when he is not our server. The food is rich but surprisingly inventive (cinnamon roll pancakes, fried chicken benedict and stuffed strawberry cheesecake french toast have been some of the plates of the week). The food is always served warm and the checkout process is done through a tablet at your table. The portions are rather large (definitely traditional southern American portions) and we almost always have a take home box after our meal. The bathrooms are kept clean and the restaurant is usually busy, though you never wait very long for a table as they are rather good at turning tables fast. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants in the Jacksonville FL area and were excited to find them opening in Madison AL. We went for the soft opening today. The crew was still training for the Grand Opening tomorrow. The service was excellent and there was no fall off from the food experienced in Jacksonville. Everything was up to standards and quite enjoyable. While we have found some good eats in the Huntsville area, we will be adding Metro into the rotation! read more

We are new to the area and chose this as our first dining out breakfast. Our family ordered the meat lovers omelette, eggs Benedict, vegetarian omelet and the avocado toast with eggs. All were made wonderfully. We will be back. Our waitress was excellent as well. A very noisy room, I would not be able to hear orders and with my husbands mumble (sorry honey) she never had to ask for a repeat and got every order right. read more

Really, really good chicken and waffle dinner. They make this spicy syrup with Louisiana hot sauce that pairs very well with the chicken.

Madison finally has a great diner. The service was great, good came out fast, and the place was clean. Had the special, Chicken Alfredo, it was perfect. Not many places know how to make a good Alfredo anymore. Too many restaurants these days cut back on good ingredients. Hoping to try breakfast soon. read more

My food was okay, but I had to see at the counter where you watch them make the food. It kind of grossed me out. Maybe it is better if you don't see how things were made. read more

I was excited to try this new diner because all of my friends were talking about it. I ordered the eggs with bacon, toast, and hash browns. Everything had not a lick of seasoning. It was so bland I felt like I was having dinner at a white family's house. If you want good diner food just go to IHOP or Waffle House. My friend I went with was also disappointed. Do not recommend unless you find avocados spicy. And what restaurants dictate if you can get a kid's menu item? Do you need an ID proving you're 12? Very underwhelmed considering the hype read more

Me and my family ate the Madison location on Sunday morning. We had great food and the service was great. Our sever was so nice and helpful. As we sat here we watched several tables calling her over to talk to. You could tell they had her before and she was great. Not only did she make us feel welcome she did it with a brace on her hand. I believe her name was Sharifa. We will be telling all our friends to go eat at the Madison metro and ask for this young lady. We will be coming back and become regulars there thank you. read more

My husband and I went here to eat and everything was fantastic. I ordered biscuits and gravy and my husband ordered chicken and waffles. Not only was the food delicious (with huge portion sizes), our server Christelle was informative, friendly and was always there when you needed her. We will definitely be back again! read more

This place is awesome. Our server was Tim and he is GREAT at his job. Good food and great service. I will defiantly will be back and bring friends. read more

Orgasmic I can't believe I jizzed my pants from the food but it was that good. I like my food and it taste a good and I love it and Jesus and America too. read more

Great place to eat! Lot of food for your money! Great tasting food at that! The service was awesome to boot! Tim was an awesome server! We will be back, probably several more times! read more
