The place looks good from the road and it is across the street from my hotel so I gave it a try. It's a nice little family diner, reasonably priced, and clean. It has four beers on tap, a little light but it is a family diner not a bar and one of the four is Stella so that's good. I had the chicken pot pie and a cup of veggie soup. Both were rather bland. The service was good and they did have a steady flow of people so they must have a reputation in town. For me, I'll probably find other spots nearby. read more

Metro Diner - Pot Roast & Belgian Waffle - Diners Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Jermaine took great care of us today and the staff is always amazing. Metro Diner is our absolute favorite local spot especially for breakfast. The menu is fantastic keeping us coming back time after time. Everyone on the staff makes us feel very welcomed and quickly take care of our needs. They also have a great dinner menu which we have enjoyed a number of times as well. If you have not yet tried Metro Diner then take my word for it you certainly should. read more

Huge portions, but we found every dish from the pot pies to the chicken to be salty as H**l. Not the most enthusiastic staff. About 2.5 stars read more

The food was excellent, hot and fast not to mention very reasonably priced. Staff very friendly! We will be back soon. Our new favorite breakfast place. Bloody Mary's we're good as well. read more

The food was wholesome. I ordered turkey and dressing with green beans and mashed potatoes. It was exactly what I was looking for. The order was nothing extravagant, just tasty, and filling. read more

I mentioned my concerns about how delivery and take out people were lining up alongside tables at the Murfreesboro Metro Diner. I was contacted by their management after my review and wanted to update my review. Here is the response I got: "We are currently unable to alter any of the way our togo and delivery are set up at the moment, but we are working on something with our construction team to hopefully create a remedy to the problem that you experienced while dining with us. Based on your review as well, I contacted our delivery partners to ask that their drivers not crowd around the tables that are by the register and we have taken a more observant role when it comes to having several pick ups around the same time." I have not been back to see what's been done, but based on their interest In making people safe I'm going back to 5 stars!! read more

Huge portions! Great service. I have eaten here a few times and everything I've gotten was great!

This place is a hit or miss. Sometimes the service can be good and most of the time it's bad. Good food but not the best service. read more

We tried Metro Diner for the first time this past weekend and LOVED it! We had breakfast and the food was excellent! First, the coffee is great. Smooth and not bitter at all. My Breakfast Pie was cooked perfectly and was delicious! It also came with bacon and grits. Many restaurants seem to fail at cooking bacon and grits, but they were both excellent at Metro Diner. We loved the decor. If you've ever been to a diner in the Northeast, you will like this place. It is somewhat small inside but they have plenty of tables. A couple of other thoughts. Parking is limited so you might have to circle around the parking lot a few times. Also, you will probably have to wait for a table. It was very crowded when we got there. We will definitely go back and try dinner! read more

Metro Diner - Breakfast Pie! Eggs, cheese, mushrooms, onions, peppers and potatoes. - Diners Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Service is great! Food is always hot and delicious!! Breakfast, lunch or dinner it's always amazing.

Metro diner is like an upscale Waffle House. It offers all of your favorites but with a little extra class. I love their BLT and specialty pancakes. read more

I was so excited to see a restaurant with table service again... I was so sick of drive-thru food! I walked in to Metro right after opening on a Tuesday, and ordered the 2-egg breakfast. When asked for my choice of toast, I requested wheat with real cow butter - and I GOT real cow butter! The eggs were to order; bacon crispy but not burnt; and I think I got half of Idaho on my plate in hashbrowns: what a beautiful pile of food! I tasted an interesting, exotic flavor to the potatoes... a bit of inquiry revealed a light dusting of Cajun seasoning on the hashbrowns during the grilling. Almost imperceptible, and definitely unique. Food was great, service was outstanding, comfortable ambience. Highly recommended! read more

Metro Diner has good food and the portion sizes are huge. The prices are a little high but all in all, it's a good experience.

Stopped in for brunch, sat down and no one took our order. Several who came in after us, got there order and drinks.

Tasty food, perhaps a little slow, but if you are hankering for a big breakfast and a comfortable atmosphere...worth the stop.

Heard great reviews about this place but had a horrible experience. First, we ordered two mimosas, one orange juice and one cranberry, we got two orange. Then, ordered crab cake Benedict's for them to be out. Ordered a separate Benedict meal and exchange the side for potatoes, got the wrong side and never received the potatoes. Our second order we added a side of biscuits and gravy. When the food came out there was no Biscuits and gravy and when we asked, once again, they were out. All of this after waiting an hour and 15 mins for our food after ordering. The food itself wasn't bad but the service was awful. They were clearly overwhelmed. When we tried to talk to the manager just to inform him of the situation he was too busy to come over as he was cooking in the kitchen. I come from a serving back ground and understand busy times but communication and service is key. Not worth it. read more

So hear me out , food is mediocre. Seasoning is used sparingly. This is food that looks good but taste more like nothing interesting . Just Bland and cute food read more

Great breakfast! We had biscuits and gravy and western omelette. The drinks were tasty too. Very reasonable prices.

Lun was our server and they were great! The food was amazing (I got the Fruit Waffles which were perfectly light and fluffy) and our Lun made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. This was my first visit and I will definitely be returning. :) read more

The chicken and waffle is amazing, and Kat's service made the meal even better! Highly recommend

I wish I had a diner like this where I live! This place was awesome! We were greeted by friendly, smiling employees and seated rather quickly for a Friday night. The menu has a vast array of different options, so many different things I would've loved to try-especially the breakfast for dinner section-I love me some all day breakfast! Service was great but the food did take a while to come out (probably my fried chicken-better to take a while than have undercooked chicken). My boyfriend got the shepherds pie-sooo good! He only let me have one bite I ordered the chicken and waffles because-well I just can't resist when that's an option anywhere This is a BIG meal but OMG is good! The chicken was fried perfectly with a great taste and the syrup/hot sauce mix just elevated the flavor that much more. To make it better, the breast was super tender. I'm usually a dark meat person but this whole dish was great. The waffles were also amazing! I'm not usually a fan of flavored butters but the strawberry butter was delicious and paired perfectly with the whole dish. I couldn't finish this on my own so I shared (I probably could've but they'd have to roll me out of there after ) so my boyfriend was happy to enjoy the deliciousness as well. Great little spot and will definitely come again if my travels bring me through again. read more

The place was hopping for lunch but we were promptly seated and service was fast. The food would be best described as a step up from diner fare. The fish and chips were some of the best I have had, lightly battered but crisp and the fish was perfectly cooked. Biscuits and gravy was another standout with buttery biscuits and a nice sausage gravy. Overall a great experience. read more

This seemed like a great place when i walked in. The menu was to die for. Being a big fan of Eggs benedict, this place had several choices . When my meal arrived i was impressed. The presentation was excellent. Eggs done to perfection and plenty of ham and avacodo. Everything seemed perfect until i took my first bite. Although delicious the muffin was tough as shoe leather and so hard i trouble cutting it with my knife. I told the waitress and she only said, oh sorry. Not offering to replace it. So i give this place two stars. Very upsetting. read more

Metro Diner - Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Food is just so so IMO. Service slow. Just didn't like it. Big portions though. If you don't mind waiting an extended while for your food and having to yell to have a conversation with your friends, you might like it. We didn't. read more

Food is delicious.... Service is pretty darn good ! And with both of those being at high standards... one of my favs for catering also !

This is hands down the best diner in Murfreesboro! The food was hot, and came out so fast! It's Sunday at 2:35pm and I will probably be full until Tuesday. Have you ever been full and kept eating? Yeah, same here. My sister was seriously contemplating on kissing the chef for her chicken & waffles. If you find yourself reading my review come see what I'm talking about. read more

Metro Diner - $2.99 pineapple/OJ mimosas! - Diners Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

If you've ever eaten breakfast - or lunch - at a proper diner in northern New Jersey, this is as close as you'll get anywhere around here. It's a chain, but don't even think of comparing it to Denny's or IHOP, this is a whole other ball game despite any superficial similarities in the menu offerings. I went to my standard NJ diner breakfast order: two eggs over easy, sausage, toast, hash browns. This is eaten in a very specific way: put about 2/3rds of the hash browns on the eggs and add one of the two sausages, then dice that up so that the potatoes and sausage bits are egg soaked. Season to taste with salt, pepper, Tabasco. Now, the four toast-halves, buttered, as used as follows. Two are wrapped around the remaining sausage and eaten sandwich style. The other two toasts are eaten with jelly, one grape, one strawberry, but only after you have eaten the remaining potatoes doused in as much ketchup as you can find. #process You know what will absolutely NOT work in that process? "Home fries". They're not soft enough to absorb the egg and the flavors simply don't mix. So Metro actually offers your choice of hash browns or home fries! Never seen that anywhere. And they'll put add-ons in your hash browns, borrowing a note from the Waffle House (but again, that's the extent of any similarity). Anyone that cooks breakfast potatoes two different ways seriously knows what they're doing. The lunch items I saw here looked delicious too. I don't think you can go wrong here. read more

Hashbrowns had a bitter burnt flavor. Poached eggs were perfect. Chicken tenders a little salty. Hollandaise and biscuits ok. The 2 sodas we received looked different from each other. One was very light in color and tasted off. When it was pointed out it was replaced. I was told they were changing something out. Lack of attention to details here. Bar top was disgusting. Had to ask the "bartender" to wipe it off. She was not very engaging or pleasant. She was too busy talking to her buddies sitting at the bar. Never asked if we needed anything. Had to get up and get ketchup from a table behind us. Doubt we return anytime soon. What we did eat left or stomachs uneasy and nauseas. read more

Terrible food. Overpriced. Never again. "Shrimp" chowder had corn, no shrimp. Reuben was mostly sauerkraut. Salad was ok-how can you screw that up? Do not recommend. read more

Service was friendly and attentive. Food was good. The booth we sat in was not clean and this kept me from giving it 5 stars. read more

Nice, clean & friendly atmosphere. They have lots of items to choose from! My go to meal is the Philly Cheesesteak & fries. Not many places can make a great Philly but they have conquered it. The chicken sandwich is also amazing. Definitely worth the stop to check it out! read more

... This is a wonderful establishment. If you ever get a chance to go, make sure that you order one or two things starting out. If you were here for breakfast or you just want breakfast, go for there pancakes with homemade strawberry butter. If you're going there and want to see just how much you can eat, ask for their large serving of their pot pie. read more

Metro Diner is really good but very disappointing in the coffee area. Their coffee is very weak and it's the same at every Metro Diner. I wish they would make a stronger cup of coffee because I really like a good cup of coffee with my breakfast and it's just not at Metro. read more

Hit the road VERY early this morning and my caffeine and egg alarm was ringing as we rolled toward town.... a quick YELP search caused a slight course correction and am I glad we did..... Coffee pot was put on fresh and the waitress apologized REPEATEDLY for a "delay".... Fresh coffee is always worth the wait AND it did NOT disappoint... Biscuits are OUT OF THIS WORLD PERFECT.... just enough "crust" on the bottom like Mom's.... The Sausage Gravy and Eggs... Well, what can you say NEGATIVE about those... the Hash Browns are PERFECT.... Absolutely PERFECT.... Portions.... Well, if you leave here hungry one of two things happened.. 1) You lack class and taste buds to be in a WORLD Premiere DINER... -or- 2) Your an idiot who thinks Chicken Tenders from a drive thru window are the bomb.... Either way YOUR the loser.... Outstanding SERVICE, Portions bigger than my belly and OUTSTANDING taste.... Found my new stop as I truck back and forth on the super slab now.... Hope to see lots of you join me as YOU WILL NOT regret it.... read more

Look no more . You have found the best place for breakfast. Possibly lunch and dinner but we've only had breakfast . The food is amazing and the service is even better read more

Best breakfast in Murfreesboro hands down! You're not going to lose weight eating here, but you will be happy. I love their hash browns and sausage gravy. I haven't had a bad meal yet. The staff is friendly and the owner is usually there helping and talking to customers. read more

Metro Diner is one of the newest attractions to Murfreesboro, TN and you know we love new places and new faces! So, lets see what the talk is all about with this establishment... Saturday morning 7:00am is good time to venture into this establishment to beat the crowd following. So me and my wife went here for the breakfast and to try something new and hopefully different from the norm. We got just that... This place is GREAT!!! Per my punch list this is how it went - 1. Curb appeal - excellent; nice looks inside and out (See my pics). 2. Atmosphere - Excellent; not congested and has plenty room to feel no one is in your space. 3. Hospitality - Excellent; out waiter was great and she made sure we never ran out of drinks. Even the manager stopped by out table to follow up with our dining experience. 4. Service - The service was great and very quick with food orders and I actually enjoyed looking at other tables getting served due to the food coming out of kitchen was looking GOOD!!! I was like WOW!!! 5. The FOOD - (Omg!!!) The food was GREAT!!! (See pics) Everything was seasoned and prepared perfect and on top of that you got allot of food for the money! Yes, you will need a carryout container... 6. Pricing - Was good for the amount of food you got. I think you got more than you paid for... The pricing better than good. My overall judgment of this establishment = GOOD Meaning - I will be dining here again. Metro Diner is a must try place and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 5 - Stars a given due to overall judgment. Peace, H2 read more

Updating because if you decide to come here, make sure to check the chalkboard bc they have specials that you can't get everyday...like the Apple Streusel Stuffed Waffles. Oh my word! Now this is definitely not something you would want to order very often but we all know it's okay to splurge on those diets once in a while! Let me tell ya, it's worth it! Again, we just love everything about Metro! Food, service, prices AND they have a full bar! read more
