    Avocado Toast
    Mary D.

    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.

    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.

    Biscuits & Sausage Gravy
    Ken T.

    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.

    Fried Chicken & Waffle

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    Nice view I had from my table. Also, there's multiple seating options (bar, tables, and booths).

    Reasonable price. Great atmosphere. Great building. Great food. Hannah was a great server. Hannah checked on me just enough and was responsive - got me what I needed when I needed it, and was pleasant, personable, courteous, sweet, and inviting.

    We were told 35 min wait but that turned into five minutes! Excellent!…read moreEli was an incredible, knowledgeable server! Very personable! The ambience was cool! A little eclectic vibe. Comfortable w a low noise level. We started with noise salads which were very small. The dressings were very good. My wife and I both had the beef tips special (mine medium rare, hers medium well) - the meat was tough and chewy on both. She had the garlic mashed potatoes and they were excellent! I had the broccoli and it was perfectly cooked and served still hot! All in all a great first experience - made that way because of Eli our server! Thanks for a good meal and great service!

They did NOT disappoint!! I am officially hooked! From the moment we walked in, I could see and feel the sheer energy coming from the crowd and the ambiance: it already felt like great food and great people. It was packed to the brim for Wine Wednesday! They had one table available for two! Our server, Sarah, was outstanding!! She was sweeter than pie and extremely attentive! She always made sure we had exactly what we wanted when we wanted it. She advised sharing a bottle of wine since we wanted the same one, and since it was half price most wines. The young manager on duty delivered and uncorked the bottle, and she was just as sweet as Sarah! Her name escapes me, but I will find out the next time I go. The Spanish Tempranillo we tried was divine! It was perfectly balanced without being too dry or too tannic or too sweet. It was so smooth and thoroughly enjoyable to drink! For food, we started with the goat cheese bruschetta. It was perfection - rich in flavor and well balanced in the distribution of each component! From there, we tried the special of Steak Tips Au Pauvre - with a peppercorn wine sauce. We chose brussels sprouts as our side, and it also came with a side salad. We weren't too hungry, so we split it. Sarah even had the kitchen split both the salad and the main dish in half for us! The salad was so fresh (with ripe grape tomatoes!!) and the ranch dressing was classic and delightful. The wine sauce was everything I wanted it to be: rich, complex, thick, and buttery. It reminded me of the beautiful sauces you find on a steak or chicken dish at a sidewalk cafe in Paris. The dessert menu looked amazing, but we didn't have any room left. All I can say is you MUST try this place!!! If you can find Sarah, even better!

When…read morewe arrived, the staff had embossed our menus with a "Happy Birthday" message, which was such a thoughtful touch. We ordered a bottle of wine (delicious), and noticed some guests bringing their own, though I'm not sure about corkage fees. We started with the smoked pork croquettes, which were outstanding and ended up being the highlight of the meal. For entrées, we tried the lamb, braised beef, halibut, duck tacos, and mushroom ravioli. Everything was served promptly, and overall the food was very good, though there's room for small improvements. The braised beef came highly recommended but didn't stand out in flavor or texture. The lamb, cooked medium rare, was excellent. The ravioli was rich and tasty, though the cream sauce slightly overpowered the dish. The halibut was well prepared, but the potato leek cream truly stole the show. As we were leaving, the staff surprised us with a serving of strawberry ice cream for the birthday guest; a sweet and memorable gesture that capped off the evening nicely. Overall, a great experience with attentive service and a few standout dishes.

Service was great, they took great care of us and helped celebrate a birthday, too! They were very well-staffed here and out waitress was very kind. There's certainly a couple things they could do to warm up the atmosphere of the interior here, but all-in-all it's a good vibe. Would definitely come again.

The food was perfect and really not even that expensive compared to my home town. I started with a nice Cabernet. I had two in fact. I did not know that Tennessee has an extra tax (LBD - 15%) on alcohol sold by the glass! I thought Republicans were all about low taxes. I also enjoyed an absolutely delicious shrimp bisque. It was really good (and only $6 for a bowl). It was smooth and flavorful. In my neighborhood that would cost $15. My entree was a daily special, yellowfin tuna. It was nicely seared on the outside and sushi grade on the inside. I could really taste the healthy Omega 3's. The fish was served on a nicely flavored bed of long grain rice. A wonderful mango salsa topped the fish. The accompanying broccoli was perfectly steamed. This was only $26. I shall return again to this great place.

It felt very comfortable and almost elevated. My husband ordered a NY strip steak with mashed potatoes and macaroni & cheese. He ordered his steak blue rare, as that was not an option on the ordering machine. Our waitress kindly said she could make a note for blue rare if possible. We later learned that the kitchen staff had no idea what blue rare was or how to cook it, which is a red flag for a restaurant that is supposed to be a "steakhouse". As you could guess, it didn't come out blue rare or even rare; to be honest, it came out medium rare and with no seasoning. He decided it was fine and he would manage, so he did not mention it, although we definitely did not ask for a box. He added his sides were okay, but overall, the food experience was 3/10. I had a mocktail called "spa day." It was a pineapple mojito without the alcohol, and I love a good pineapple mojito, so I enjoyed it. I also ordered a steak. Filet 6 oz medium and it was cooked fine, but the only seasoning was pepper, and thank goodness I have grown accustomed to pepper; otherwise, I would have had to send it back because it was the only thing on it. I ordered a loaded potato and the apples as my sides, and they were perfect. The apples honestly were probably the best part of the meal, although they did taste like they were from a box. Overall, in my opinion, it is definitely not worth $130, but the waitress was very nice and attentive
