Stopped in for dinner Carryout while traveling and enjoyed some great fried chicken with green beans and macaroni & cheese. My meal was outstanding after a long, hard day! The flavor and crunch on the chicken had me eating more of the huge portion than I should (I almost ate half a chicken ya'll!). The green beans were ok but the Mac & cheese was a wonderful surprise! Flavorful and cheesy without being too much! Now the best part...the slice of chocolate cake! Moist and delish! I always love a Metro Diner and so glad they were near my hotel! read more

We went to the Metro Diner after finding it on Yelp. My go to when in places not familiar with. We came here after going to the movies. They have plenty of parking. We were greeted well. Our booth was nice. I got the banana sauce waffle special. It was good but was lacking the sauce when served. I asked for more and that helped it. We had a good time here and great place to come after the movies. read more

The food I order at Metro Diner is always on point. The employees that work there are very professional and very knowledgeable when you have questions. I love their set up and I feel comfortable whenever I visit there. One thing I noticed to is when I have been there, it looks like all patrons are satisfied and happy. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in for shrimp and grits, and they absolutely nailed it. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, the grits were rich and creamy, and the whole dish had that comforting Southern flavor done right. Service was friendly, fast, and the vibe was warm and welcoming. Easily one of the best meals we've had in the area. Highly recommend Metro Diner if you're craving real comfort food done well. read more

We had Troy as a server! He was kind and had a Nice sense of humor. We went here in honor of my Dad Kenny. He ordered from this restaurant 3 times a week and loved the fish fry, and breakfast. I would always order the salomn. My Dad is no longer with us but coming here gave a sense of home and peace. This is a true casual diner where everyone is welcome. I saw older families and younger families. Come as you are and have some good food and great service. read more

Cute place, tables cleaned, table bidder was thorough and always smiling; quick to clean up after patrons left as well! (That young man could give some pointers to TX Roadhouse about how to clear dishes so people can eat!) Waitress was fast, friendly, kind and attentive! Def diner vibe, which I liked! Food was okay, hash browns were super greasy but I guess most are. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and the majority of it was just a huge bottom piece of a croissant. It's hard to explain. It's like the bottom was almost an Italian subroll or similar to that in size and shape but then one small corner of that had the egg, cheese and 2 pcs of bacon. The rest had nothing on it. Topping that there was a normal sized croissant top. Totally edible but awkward and weird to pick up. I ended up just cutting the excess croissant off and trying to make it more the proper shape to be able to eat. By then it was a little cold but it took me a few to decide best ways to make it edible. It didn't really have any taste at all, whatsoever so not something I'd fancy trying again. 4 stars because of pleasant and quick service and super fast bus boy--that man was on it! read more

The service was good ... very attentive... and the food was really good too... a nice stop during a long drive home

I went there when they first opened nothing special, but I have yet found anything better than waffle House for breakfast in Middletown. I'm neutral when it comes to the Metro diner. I do know that it took a long time for me to get served my order. The best I can do is three stars, try you might like it, thanks! read more

My husband and I were in town and decided to try Metro Diner for breakfast based on the positive reviews it had. I'm happy to say we weee not disappointed! The restaurant was fairly busy for breakfast and our server was very quick to greet us very shortly after we sat down. Additionally, she was very friendly and attentive throughout our meal, even refilling my husband's coffee without him having to ask. There was an error on the bill which she quickly addressed and corrected. For breakfast my husband ordered chicken and waffles and I ordered fried chicken Benedict. My husband enjoyed his meal and the portion was quite large. My Benedict was delicious, with a fresh made biscuit and perfectly poached eggs. Im glad we found this restaurant and gave it a try! We will definitely be back if we are in town again! read more

I ordered the Meat Lover's Breakfast. A very bad choice. The bacon was totally overcooked, sausage links were dried out, home fries were burnt and the scrambled eggs were wet and slimy. The waitress was nice enough to take the charge for this off the bill. My wife's biscuits and gravy were passable. We still left a nice tip for the waitress. She was fantastic... read more

The first time I tried this place the food was amazing but the service wasn't so good. But since we enjoyed the food we gave it a second try. The service this time was amazing the waiter actually engaged with us and checked on us this time. I think her name was spelled Kajal but we will definitely be back again for her! read more

Came here with a friend for breakfast and must say its definitely not a Jersey diner. This reminds me of The Turning Point or First Watch more than a diner but nonetheless the food was good. My friend got a big stack of cinnamon roll pancakes that looked amazing. She said they are her go to. I ordered the chicken, biscuits and gravy special that was amazing. My chicken was fried goodness on a pillow soft biscuits smothered in a spicy sausage gravy. I was happy. Took home a piece of bread pudding. One of the best I have had. All in all, service was good, food delicious and the restaurant adorable. If in the area, I would go back read more

Really good food and service for the most part. A couple times went there and it seems wasn't as good as before possibly different cooks not sure why? But we always give it another chance,stop back in, and it's good again. Good variety on the menu read more

Ordered two turkey dinners, assumed the would put everything as shown on their menu inside, both meals were shorted the cranberry sauce which to me makes that type of meal. My wife and I were disappointed in their lack of oversight, would buy again but will check out plates before leaving. read more

I've heard good things about this establishment. I had to try myself. Our breakfast meal was just ok. No seasoning on any of the food. Very bland but I understand the broad appeal not to put seasoning on the food. I would choose another eating establishment over this one. I may give this diner another try but it won't be anytime soon. Nothing terribly bad to say about this diner. I wasn't overwhelmed. My overall opinion is that the food is just ok. I would recommend to anyone to give it a try. read more

Good to great service, food options are many and breakfast options are quite good. We loved the chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy. Pancakes are also really good. Be prepared to wait to sit for breakfast but it is worth it. Ambiance is relaxed and comfortable. read more

Long wait when arrived just after opening. Soup was cold. I ordered a bowl of soup but it was a 1 cup serving in a bowl. When I asked if they could microwave it, they forgot to bring it back. Spouse was done his meal so I took it to go which is why I know it was a cup of soup. I had to ask for an adjustment. I got $1.50 off the bill. read more

This new Metro diner is great! Slightly small so waiting will happen to you here. The staff was very attentive and our food came out quickly! They always have specials for breakfast and lunch and they never disappoint. The apple cinnamon waffles also came in pancakes, the bacon was crispy, and the Southwest scramble bowl had so much flavor. It was layer with hasbrowns, eggs, pico, guacamole and served with sour cream. Delicious! The entire place was decorated for the holiday which created a fun place for breakfast! read more

Great fried chicken dinner mashed potatoes seemed real and tasted great I don't care for the host/hostess section

While I am not a regular here I do make trips every year a couple weeks before my 100k ultra event. My go-to meal is the " short stack" of pancakes to get some carb loading. Always cooked to perfection AND word of warning.....it is no short stack!!!! Great value! read more

We are usually there on Sunday morning for breakfast. Fills us up to get our day off to a good start. Love to go there for their burgers too. read more

If you're craving for comfort food, this place would be a good option. Their menu is somewhat limited, offering a selection of entrees and handhelds. Besides the menu, they also offer daily specials on the board. Pricing is reasonable when matched against similar type of diners in the area. Staff are friendly and attentive. Didn't wait too long for the order to be served. They also have a outdoor dining area for the summer months. So if you're in the mood for home style cooking at a reasonable price, give this place a try. read more

Rob, the manager, represents Metro Diner very well. His cook staff works like clockwork preparing meals quickly and consistently delicious. The diner's atmosphere is cheerful with seasonal decor and the specials chalkboard is amazingly creative. read more

Great food. Long wait on Sunday's before 1230pm. Portions are very big. I had shrimp and grits. Poutine for appetizers. My husband had fried chicken dinner, and son had chicken n waffles. No complaints on any meal. Would definitely go back. read more

Have dined here before and am always happily surprised by how enjoyable it is. Food is great. I ordered the pot roast which had a lot of flavor. Their portion sizes are large and the prices are cheap. Our waitress was very kind and attentive--she brought over a new water for me when she noticed I was close to finishing mine. Overall great environment, very relaxed and home-y. read more

Metro Diner - Seasonal pot roast - American Near Me - Middletown, Delaware

Cute little diner that was featured on diners, drive-ins and dives. I believe it was specifically for their biscuits and gravy, which I must say is the best I've ever seen. The friend chicken Benny was also very good! My meal, which was one of their newer options - the southwest burrito left something to be desired. It didn't have enough fillings in it and alot of the wrap was wasted. It was nicely griddled in the waffle maker which I can appreciate. They do have many breakfast side options - including cheesy grits which is my favorite, but I wanted some protein since there was no meat on the southwest burrito and I chose to pay the extra money for some Canadian bacon which was well cooked. Overall, it seemed like a decent breakfast/brunch place and i guess it's always super busy with long lines waiting to get in. To me, it was as good as any other diner I've been to. read more

Tried it again for lunch. No go. I had fish and chips. I think the fish was tilapia (they didn't say) and the fish was very thin at one end and slightly thick at the other and tasted fishy. The batter was oily and heavy. The fries were limp. The coleslaw had no flavor. The tartar sauce just tasted like sour mayonnaise (maybe was mayo and pickle juice?) The entire thing was just not tasty. As usual the service was friendly and attentive. Not only my server, but the next table over, the server was working hard to please his guests. The menu didn't have a whole lof of choice for lunches, a few sandwiches (club, grilled cheese, cheesesteak) and didn't list any soups though I think they had them. Hard to read the board on the back wall. Sad to say, I'm just not a fan--but many people seem to like the fried chicken and waffles which is their specialty and indeed the place smells like waffles when you walk in. I don't like chicken and waffles so I cannot judge. I think they cater well to the local taste here (leans to prefer it "bland") so if hanging your tongue out the window is "ooh, spicy" to you, then you may enjoy Metro Diner. read more

I really feel like they cook for old people who have diabetes. The food is never seasoned properly or enough, the portions are not satisfactory. read more

The service was great. We had a young man that was very attentive and friendly. Not too much, just the right amount. The food was pretty good for an average restaurant. Good place to go to en route for lunch. I had a chicken Waldorf salad that was very good. They also had a gluten free bun which was very welcome. My husband had a salad as well and he said it was good. And it wasn't too loud either which is welcome after so many restaurants pump up the volume keeping conversations difficult to have unless you want to yell at each other. read more

Great food, fun atmosphere. Service was great. I will definitely be back. Eggs Benedict were perfect

Went to Metro Diner today in Middletown DE and was really disappointed. Ordered Eggs Benedict Florentine and the spinach was cold and not cooked just laying on top of the eggs. read more

Was on the highway & needed a rest stop since we were driving for awhile. I always wanted to go to the Metro Diner in Las Vegas but never got the chance. I believe this is the same restaurant as the one in Vegas since the Shrimp & Grits look the same. Place was pretty empty so there wasn't a wait. Ordered the shrimp & grits which was an easy 10 out of 10 dish & the turkey plate which was pretty good as well. The hashbrowns were delicious but nothing topped the shrimp & grits OMG some of the best I've ever had! read more

What a great experience at this diner. Apparently, they have locations in the south and specialize in comfort food. I got the sausage gravy and biscuits, which was fantastic. Super friendly service and a nice interior space. There was a good crowd when we showed but they moved the line thru pretty quick. I will be back read more

The food was great and so was the service, Cindy B is wonderful server and you should head over to Metro Diner Middletown, for a nice meal and great service! read more

We decided to go back, we had been sick and we weren't in the mood for anything else. This time our server was actually Tiffany, the manager. I don't know if she recognized us or if before was just a bad day but she was fantastic. Very kind, very attentive, and made our return an all around good experience. Thank you to Rob, the general manager for reaching out here on Yelp. We appreciate that you care. read more

Great food!!! I really enjoyed the food, and the service. I ordered the fish and grits. It was great.

While on our drive back to NJ from Maryland, we stopped off the highway in Middletown DE to get gas and grab a meal. The road we got off on had several strip malls with big chain restaurants but we decided to stop at the Metro Diner since we like diner food and it seemed pretty busy, which is usually a good sign! When we arrived, we had to wait about 5-10 minutes before we were seated. The place was pretty lively. Our waitress was really friendly and provided good service throughout the meal. I got the cinnamon bun pancakes with a side of hash browns and my boyfriend ordered the fried chicken eggs benedict with hash browns and an extra side of bacon. The pancakes came with two large cakes and were very yummy. The eggs benedict though was incredible. Their hollandaise sauce was really good. The hash browns hit the spot and the bacon was cooked perfectly. We were very satisfied with our food and decided to get a piece of their bread pudding to go - forget the exact flavor but may have been blueberry lemon - that was also really good. Glad we stopped by for a meal on our trip home. read more
