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!

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.

Eggs Benedict
Tea L.

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
Crystal H.

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.

Ted H.

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.

My go-to drink is the Dirty Hippie--it never disappoints. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

The food is delivered to your table. While waiting, I noticed that the old building has a faint mold smell that would have set my wife's allergies off. I was alone on a lunch break. I ordered their Greatest American Hero burger with Cajun fries. The fries were crispy and perfectly cooked. They were great. The burger was perfectly cooked and had enough lettuce that the fresh crunch came through. Joanie's Magic Sauce was served on the side. It was good with the burger but not the fries. This was my first trip here and I can recommend it. The burger was better than average. I'd give it a 7.8 out of 10. Other than the moldy smell, I can recommend it. The condiments are in small packets on a wall, which I didn't care for, but not the end of the world.

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.

The menu is the correct length, in my opinion. One page. All I need. They had a couple of specials, too. They seemed to have a really great selection of seafood.

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.
