When I want diner food, this is where I travel. It's a chain restaurant but it doesn't give those vibes. Hailey was our sever and she was really good. Attentive and knows that menu very well! I went with a friend and her mom and they both enjoyed their food as much as I did. I had huevos rancheros. I always order that, it's not like the traditional ones but I like it. Very tasty and the tortilla chips are homemade! We did have the mimosas flight and that was nice. We have 4 different mimosas and they were all good. This place is consistently good and the service is also on point. Weekends tend to be a little busier than normal but that's no issue as I expect a little wait on weekends. Nothing too crazy. We waited less than 10 minutes. read more

We recently opened a shop in the nearby Painted Tree Boutiques, and find ourselves in Murfreesboro often seeking out different dinner options. This was one of our earlier picks. Appreciate that is was quiet and not too crowded. Food was solid, although now I don't recall any particulars. Service was fine, easy in and out. We'll likely visit again soon. read more

The food was real good. Service and the vibe was good. It's been a while since I been there. The grits were ok but Chicken and Waffles was fantastic. Good job, Metro! read more

My go to spot for the best Club Sandwich! I pair it with the potatoes and am impressed by the amount of food. Easily two or more meals! Service is great and fun diner decor makes a great meal all that more enjoyable. G and I have tried lots of things here and have yet to find something we didn't like. Not that we're looking for it but rather, it is just that good. read more

Very clean with spacesh sitting. We were greeted by Jermaine who also was our server. As well as waiting on the late late lunch crowd, he was taking to go orders. He was absolutely flawless! He never missed a step, even when I ask for my coffee to be half hot water. I ordered the Eggs Benedict but in place of read more

The food was pretty good! The service was not so great, our server kind of stand off ish and didn't really seem to pay attention to us. She had several different people bring things to us rather than herself. We waited for longer periods for things. This place has definitely a diner feel to it, the rush and busy feel like. read more

I had a very disgusting first impression walking into Metro Diner with one of the servers named Kat, an older lady with dark curly hair, black freckles, and black-framed glasses. As we got our food, I noticed my food was missing an item, and Kat had already started walking away, and I said, "Excuse me," and noticed when she turned she had rolled her eyes; everyone around the table had noticed. We were all disgusted with her attitude; we were so disgusted that we just downloaded Yelp to write this review. Such a petty place just to go to waste. read more

The food and service were good. It's a place I choose to go every so often. It's a pretty busy place to go dine in. For the most part I like it but the service seems so rushed with people waiting for a seating and the server rushing to get to every table. Otherwise try not going during the morning on the weekends. It's still a good place to stop in but have not really been able to say you can relax and socialize or catch-up with friends and family as it always feels like you need to eat and go. read more

Stopped in here for brunch after fasting labs. My best friend ordered the Big Kahuna Hash browns and a Bloody Mary.My friend said that her meal was delicious. It was just enough food so that she was full but not overly full. I had a Western Omelette, Home Fries, Wheat Toast and a Dr. Pepper. If I would have known I was going for breakfast I would have gotten coffee. We were seated quickly and our drink orders taken. The Dr. Pepper was a little bit flat. And my friend said her mild Bloody Mary was hot, so she knows not to order it hot. Or orders were taken and brought out in a timely manner. The music was at a nice level that you could still talk to your friends. We were sat in a comfy booth. Sometimes booths can be uncomfortable. Not these. We really enjoyed our meals and look forward to returning to trying more items on the menu. Most definitely stop in and give Metro Diner a try! read more

Today, the cook got something wrong on my order. When it was served, my server brought it to my attention and told me not to worry, stating she would ensure my check would be correct. And it was! These waitresses are exceptional. I believe this reflects good management. This is absolutely my favorite breakfast in Murfreesboro. read more

Metro Diner has that classic old-school diner vibe that's hard to find these days. The atmosphere feels nostalgic and welcoming, like a traditional neighborhood spot where you can sit down and relax. The menu covers everything from juicy burgers to hearty breakfast favorites, so there's something for whatever you're craving. Great comfort food, friendly service, and a timeless diner feel that makes you want to come back. read more

Popped in here and was excited after seeing pictures of guy fieri on the wall. The place was cute and it smelled lovely. However after a brief nasty interaction with the staff, it was clear to me that no meal would be worth dealing with that level of disrespect and I walked out. Good luck to this place. read more

While it's not local to the area, we love coming here for breakfast since it's served all day. The food is always consistently good and we love the diner feel! If you come here, ask for Kat as your server. She was super friendly and very on top of everything. Honestly, she went above and beyond and gave us a great experience here. We'll definitely be asking for her the next time we come by! read more

The food was vey good. Biscuits and gravy. Comes with two eggs your way and a choice of three varieties of potato's. I can't remember what they were, it's been a minute since I ate the breakfast. I know, I know; slacker right. I was eating alone so I sat at the bar. Needless to say, the bartender gave me great service. I never had to ask for refills of my coffee or water. She checked on my food a few bites in. I don't like when a waiter/waitress asks me when the plates are put on the table. How is everything. Ah, I don't know, I haven't tried it. Wow, off track again. Ok. Focus Ken. There is plenty of seating in the diner. The breakfast menu is extensive and there should be something for any one. There are a bunch of booths and stand alone tables. There is also a lunch / dinner menu. Breakfast is served from open to closing. read more

Looking for a great local brunch spot? Look no further! I enjoyed the outside patio (a tad cold inside for me). The wait was not long at all even though the parking lot was packed. Our server Jermaine I believe was his name was very friendly and a good sense of humor. Now to the food... I ordered the chicken and waffles and very rarely order this. But when ai saw strawberry butter I had to try it. Please do also. You won't be disappointed. You can get a half chicken cut up or tenders. I went for the tenders. The tenders included 4 nice size tenders or should we say breast cut up freshly! The chicken comes with a hot honey sauce that is also very delicious ! The meal although very feeling was not heavy feeling. My cousin ordered the shrimp and grits. I tasted the sauce and very flavorful! It had grits and a grit cake! The mimosas was also very good but only if you like more bubbly! read more

We had a group of ten. We had tried two places with over an hour wait so we tried Metro Diner and the host took it in stride and worked with the servers to get a table set up. Our server was great. They took our drink orders and returned with drinks and took our order. We had the range from avocado toast to waffles. The food was delivered as ordered and delicious. We requested a split check and they accommodated perfectly. Our family brunch was wonderful and we enjoyed it very much thanks to the "get it done" approach of the staff. read more

Had a great time at Metro Diner tonight. I took my mom for a late Mother's Day Dinner, she doesn't like the crowds on the actual day, so I always grill her a Ribeye on Mother's Day and then she picks a day afterwards to go out and celebrate. Tonight we both chose the shrimp and grits which were very yummy. This was our first visit to this place and we will definitely be back. They not only do a great job on the food, but the atmosphere and service are also both very good read more

I can't believe I'm never reviewed Metro I love this place it's corporate with a small town feel, they are independently owned and operated, the Murfreesboro location is my absolute favorite. The staff are literally the most friendly people in Rutherford county. My best friend had never been here so today was the day I told em hey you looking for a good meal let's go to Metro before you go to work and that's exactly what we did. Our waitress today was Haley, She was amazing I enjoyed my usual favorite the shrimp and grits my friend got the fish and chips everything was fresh and delicious full of flavor every bite was amazing. The servings are huge so get ready to have leftovers. They have a new mimosa flight for $9.99 That's cool. Haley did a great job of letting us know the new things on the menu as well as reminding us of some of the usual favorites. Before we even got up to leave my friend was like we will definitely be back! read more

The staff was polite and kind. The table they sat us at was a bit dirty though, stuff in the chair and on the floor around us. The wait wasn't long at all, I ordered the loaded burger bowl, with a side of bacon and mac & cheese. The bacon was very brittle and a bit hard, just short of burnt. It just crumpled in your mouth. The mac and cheese was more on the creamy side, dont expect a baked mac and cheese. The loaded burger bowl wasn't bad, it was very filling. The fries were nicely seasoned, but I did not like the sauce on top, too sweet, definitely not for me. Also, the patties were VERY undercooked, almost completely pink on the inside. read more

Food is decent but not craveable. Second time we have been here. Service was fine both times, nothing to complain about but nothing overly amazing. I do appreciate the variety of items on the kids menu! Bathrooms are also nice, clean, and single rooms. There are baby changing stations in the back two. Would probably come in again if nearby but not going out of our way for it. read more

High quality meal, quick service, love the feel of the place and decor it feels like you're stepping back in time, but in a cozier way than some of the bright red and black and white themed diners that just come across as kitschy read more

This is a place where you are definitely going to get the bang for your buck! We went during our visit to Murfreesboro. It's a cute little dinner with a traditional and modern flare. We started out with our beverages. Let me say that's the biggest cup of cranberry juice that I have gotten from a restaurant and least expensive. I ordered the Southwest Scramble Bowl. It is loaded avocado, black beans, corn, diced green and jalapeño peppers, onions, tomatoes, scrambled eggs served over hashbrown potatoes, drizzled with salsa and sour cream, and topped with green onions. Hubby had the Fried Chicken & Waffle Half a fried chicken and a Belgian waffle, topped with powdered sugar and sweet, strawberry butter. Served with our signature sweet and spicy sauce. The chicken was so delicious and juicy. You definitely want to try that out. Great place. Great service. Great prices. read more

We had about a 25 minute wait at around 11:00am on Saturday morning. The place was buzzing with people. So glad we waited, as the food was very good. I had the "Bissell" which is the traditional breakfast. 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, grits, toast or biscuit and a short stack of pancakes. The pancakes were so fluffy and light and tasted amazing. I highly recommend this place and hope to return one day. read more

Had lunch with a friend around 11am. Place was full as usual. I had the breakfast burger which was tasty. Fries were very good too. Ambience in the place was lively. My server was off his game. Took short of ten minutes to be greeted at the table. After being brought beverage our order was taken. Food was delivered a reasonable time later. But the server never once checked on us, not even to offer a refill. Had to track him down to get a bill and to-go boxes. At least he was kind enough to offer a drink for the road. Update: I can really appreciate a manager reaching out about my experience. Unfortunately, mp.murfreesboro@metrodiner.com is not a direct link. Not sure where to go. read more

Looked for someplace near our hotel that we didn't have to drive to after our long road trip, and this fit the bill. Also wanted simple food because my tummy wasn't the best. I got the 2 egg breakfast with a biscuit and Canadian bacon and it was good. Husband got a burger and fries and he was happy. Service was good, and it was not too busy at about 6 pm on a weeknight. Prices were reasonable. Would return if we stayed at the Hyatt close by again.0 read more

Decaf coffee burnt. Ordered the special, fish and chips, came with a salad weird but okay. Caesar so over dressed the lettuce was soggy. Fish came quick but alas, the middle was still frozen. And it was fillets not cod chunks. The slaw had a good flavor but was day old refrigerater wilted and my small bowl had a giant slice of core in it. Big hash row potato virtues in the tarter sauce. Waitress was super inexperienced and in the weeds with three tables. Well. I mean she was chatting at the drinks station but still. They took the fish off the ticket. Then took another :25 minutes to cash out. The fries were good crispy and hot. Don't chance it. read more

Good as southern cooking and feeling. Had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was piping hot and crispy and waffle had the malt flavor. Loved it yummm. My waitress was so excellent she had a great smile and made sure I was taking care of. Typical diner feeling very crowed noisey but comfortable. Great for breakfast . read more

The strawberry butter for the chicken and waffels is so yummy. I also like mixing hot sauce and syrup for the chicken and waffles and I would for sure reccomend that . The service was pretty good, Anywhere my toddler is tollerated and drinks are always filled is good enough for me. Every time Ive been it's been slammed. Its for sure giving 50's diner vibes read more

Gia at the Murfreesboro location was a delight. She was kind to my 84 yr old parents and very patient since this was their first visit. The food came to us quickly and just as we ordered it! The cinnamon waffle was amazing. read more

My partner and I visited for the second time today and Halie was waiting on our table! This is the second time we've had the pleasure of sitting at one of her tables. I work third shift and often go out to breakfast with my partner and am not usually in the mood for typical breakfast food. We ordered the blueberry lemon waffle for an appetizer, and though I was hesitant at first- the flavor was remarkably light and just sweet enough to not leave a heavy sugary aftertaste. After that, I got my meatloaf, pictured below. Let me just say, when I think mom's meatloaf as a kid, this is what I think- cranked up to 11. It has all of the best parts of Southern comfort, well seasoned green beans, a made from scratch mashed potato, and the best meatloaf I've ever had. We will be returning for a third time, and hopefully Halie is still around to brighten up our morning. read more

After seeing Metro packed out the door for breakfast this morning, we had to try it for dinner; however, it wasn't anything special. We were not really greeted upon entering the front entrance. After reviewing the menu, our waitress was quick to answer questions and friendly-- as it was our first time. The atmosphere truly felt like a local diner-- complete with two bar counters in the back and side of the dining area. It had some cute decor and a unique style, fun for the whole family. The tea tasted off. The pancakes were good, but nothing impressive. The food arrived quickly. The waitress was friendly. The food was okay. Overall, it was a mediocre dining experience. read more

Service took too long. Our waitress seemed too busy to take our order. The restaurant didn't seem busy. The table was dirty when we were seated by the hostess. The food came out quick after we had another waitress put in the order. Disappointing visit. read more

Good food, friendly people! I have been there twice and got different kinds of food and both were delicious.

If I could rate 0 stars I would. I came in today seeking a nice environment to take my family to eat together but was shown only rudeness and unprofessionalism. The host at the door was unwelcoming and didn't provide the initial respect and hospitality I was under the impression this place provided. The manager on shift this morning was really rude too and had unnecessary comments to make towards me and my family. I'm disappointed that this place advertises itself as a welcoming and accommodating establishment but choose to treat their guests and customers with disrespect and no energy to serve their customers with kindness and accommodation. I heavily advise you all to spend your money elsewhere. read more

At first glance this establishment seems to provide decent service with good food BUT I was immediately disproven when I walked in and was greeted with such rudeness and unprofessionalism. The staff was making disrespectful comments out loud towards me and my party but we could still clearly hear them. I will not be returning here again because i feel unwelcome and I think that's the atmosphere that was curated. The host was rude and the manager on staff was even worse in terms of attitude. I wish this place the best but I also wish anyone considering spending your money here that you reconsider and choose to put your money towards a more friendly and hospitable establish that deserves it more than Metro Dinner. read more

What a great find during my time in town for work. I always try to support local diners versus chains. Great service, really good portions and prices -especially with the way things are currently (inflation). I visited 3 times this past week. Their imenu will basically have anything you would want ... from Sweet to Savory. For me, I stuck to the protein breakfast but did splurge for a half waffle. **Just know that they open at 8am. I think they miss a great opportunity, from hospital staff around the corner, by not opening at 7am (but it ain't my business-literally). If you let them know I recommended you coming, it won't do anything for ya. Ha! read more
