Great food and service! I get back to the area about once a year and make sure I stop by. In a world of fast food and not-good-for-you food, the Metro Diner allows me to eat well and healthy. read more

We loved Barbara she knew exactly what we wanted and was a fantastic person even though we got there so very close to closing

Had lunch at Metro after 2 hrs of Pickleball at Dill Dinkers. I had the salmon plate. The salmon was cooked perfect with a nice carmelized crispy surface. A nice savory sauce over the salmon. The potatoes were great with nice bits of bacon and seasoning. The broccoli was tender (not over cooked) and had a nice buttery flavor. Server was great, she brought me a second glass of diet coke without asking I'll be back for sure. read more

Our group had a delicious breakfast on a snowy morning. Our server was fantastic and got all our orders with suggestions perfectly. The food was delicious. Cooked perfectly and so good. Biggest issue was too much food but that's what to go boxes are made for. A nice local place feel and very friendly atmosphere. Definitely would eat here again. read more

I always loved Metro but ordered a well done cheeseburger on DoorDash WELL done & it came pink medium cold fries and NO coleslaw. Contacted DoorDash & got a measly $3 back for a $14 meal ! NEVER will order from Metro again!!!!!! read more

Patty was our server and it was so busy on a holiday and graduation weekend but she never missed a beat. The food was delicious and we can't wait to go back and also try the other two locations. The manager was checking on all the tables saying hello. I noticed all the employees were so pleasant and the lady seating and clearing tables was kind and worked quietly and quickly. Well run by the whole team!! read more

A great breakfast spot. As a southerner I will admit that the chicken and waffles are delicious. And they have good coffee. The place gets busy so expect a wait. Our server was on top of things as she juggled several tables. read more

Please make sure customers chicken is hot and fresh. Not cold. Have a few bad experiences at this location.

No frills diner with great service and good food If you grew up in the north east, you can throw a rock and hit a spot just like this. The friendly staff and super fast service made this location stand out because i was taking out my young nephews for the day! read more

Metro Diner is hands down my favorite place to go with friends and family when there's no particular cravings. The food choices, prices, speed and service are simply best combined value all around. Shrimp and grids, chicken and waffles, avocado toasts, eggs Benedicts, metro club sandwich, fish and chip and flavored coffee/tea are just some that I have tried and can vouch for. Staffs are all very friendly and helpful. Food service time is on par as well. I 'd recommend the place to all my family and friends. read more

Excellent Fried chicken is the best I have eaten in a longtime in a restaurant. Will go back many times just for the chicken. read more

Friendly staff and the food comes out really fast. Prices are average for what you're getting. Any time I eat at this location I feel extremely sick after (I do not have this issue with other Metro Diners). The place can get quite crowded-so probably don't come with a big group. read more

Well we said we would return. And here we are. The chicken and waffles were flavorful with that grandma's seasoning type vibe. I got my shrimp and grits again. Still very yummy with plenty of big shrimp. We had a nice table where we can see the cooks do their thing. (They had grandma hidden, LOL) Please Metro stay this way. Again from my photo as for Amanda.as a server she is a rockstar. read more

Awesome diner. Stopped thru on the way back to the DMV. Service was amazing. Our server, Sarafina, didn't miss a beat. Coffee stayed refreshed, condiments were readily available. Looking around, all the servers were providing the same level of attentiveness throughout. It was so pleasing to see what also appears to be a younger staff team taking such pride in providing the ultimate customer service experience. You don't find it so common anymore! Food was just as amazing as the service. The perfect portion and reasonably priced. The ambiance has a sense of nostalgia associated with old school diners. Diverse clientele. And plenty of AC. Heads up...grab a jacket if you tend to be cold because they have ceiling fans too. If ever in the area, check it out for a more than decent diner dining experience. read more

Service - very attentive Food - very tasty made as I wanted Gave us plenty of time to visit famiky We will be back read more

I came here because I read that Guy Fieri visited and it was on his television show. When I arrived, I realized that this is a restaurant chain. I live in Florida and we have these restaurants across the state of Florida. The food is good, but the prices are high. If you're looking for a diner it is not bad. read more

It was fast and pleasant. We were passing thru and were starving. We did not wait long at all. Customer service was great and tentative. Food was excellent. Husband got Belgian waffles and it was fluffy and light.. perfect! I got an omelette, the eggs were so fluffy and it was stuffed! read more

Alicia B was excellent. Fast, friendly service! Very Attentive. Great food! She was always making sure everything was perfect.

Food and service are good. Not a long wait for a table and friendly server and great tasting bacon crisp yummmm will go back

Lovely place, clean, service was very friendly. Thanks Zoey! The food left a lot to be desired. The pancakes were hard to cut. The home fries were over cooked squares of potatoes. The eggs were ok and I didn't care for their coffee. Some stuff I know is my taste but I think everything was overcooked and not hot. No rye bread??? read more

Metro Diner - Lovely inside. - Diners Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Really good for an all day breakfast diner. Best bacon I've ever had that isn't my mom's. Potatoes are slightly overseasoned but not so much that I won't gobble down the hash browns. Service was attentive. Like most diners at dinner, was quiet. I only wish the toast came buttered read more

This is the place to visit, if you passing through to NJ or NY. I have been here before and new I had to go again. The ambiance is in real diner style. It is so popular that there is always a wait. However, if you sit at the counter, it's no wait. The food is delicious. They serve real chicken parts with the dishes. I had so much food just for verity knowing that I'll have left overs. Service is great and organized. read more

My go to place for breakfast. Food is very good, especially the omelets, with handmade, fluffy biscuits! Servers are a top-notch team. My only suggestion is to make the bathrooms unisex as there's only one per gender and sometimes there are more women waiting while the "men's room is idle. read more

Stopped by on Nov 14 after medical procedure...was really hungry and Metro came through for me! Had a huge breakfast and everything was perfectly cooked and on the table in 5 minutes...maybe less. The service was friendly and attentive. Love this place and really can't think of another breakfast place that is spot on consistently right now like Metro. read more

After a failed attempt year prior, I decided to give this place another try and I will not be returning. The food was okay but nothing special and no major complaints. Toward the end of the meal I noticed green mold in my soda glass. I had gotten about halfway through the soda before I noticed it. We checked everyone else's drinks and they seemed to be fine. I was the only one who ordered a Dr Pepper so it was probably a dirty soda fountain. We brought it to the attention of the server who didn't seem to care. She didn't apologize or offer a new drink, rather just looked at it and said "oh." It isn't hard to keep a soda fountain clean and the nozzles should be disassembled at least once a month. read more

Got sat almost immediately, but waited close to 20 minutes before the waitress took my order. Older white woman who talks too much. I was annoyed because people who were sat after me had their food coming out before I even served. Yhrre is no on managing the wait staff otherwise someone would have noticed. Will never be back. No second chances when u wait that long. read more

Short: AWESOME food, great time and atmosphere. Long: Had a snag with the service upon arrival, but the food was absolutely AMAZING; especially for a busy Saturday at brunch time. 100% recommended the cinnamon roll pancakes as an upgrade to the Bissell Breakfast. The place was buzzing, the staff were really nice, and the management was accommodating. read more

I don't typically leave reviews, but I had such a positive experience at the metro diner on 2023-07-16 I felt it needed to be documented. First, the food was excellent. I ordered the BBQ BACON Burger to be cooked "medium." Typically, I don't care to order burgers at restaurants because I think they get over cooked. The burger was cooked so well, I added a picture. Maybe a little too pink for "medium" but it was perfect to me. I think the portion sizes are fair for the price. Our server was a young person named BB and it was their second day on the job. A little shy but very attentive and considerate. For me, the ambiance was amazing. It's a chain diner with not too many locations and it had a lot of charm. Typical diner vibe, but they were playing pop music that I'd expect to be heard at the club. The contrast created a unique environment that I loved. Excellent experience, I plan to go back. read more

It was not good or bad the breakfast was soo good but a lot of people coughing the pancakes are okay but the place is epic

We were in town for Thanksgiving, so for breakfast decided to return to Metro Diner once again. Grateful we didn't encounter the problem Hostess Alison this time. I heard she was put on the evening shift as a Server. Yipee!! The Hostess Ms. Janice and Waitress Desire we had today was great!! Me and my fiance had the Fish Fry Friday Platter. He got coleslaw and french fries with his platter and a side order of cheese grits. I had the cheese grits and a salad. Only issue with the salad was they didn't have French, Thousand Island or Russian dressing. read more

We sat down ordered and no sooner we started to eat the bill came no ask for refills or deserts and we asked is it almost closing she said no it's policy now once you take a bite we have to give you the bill, I felt rushed out the door read more

I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of our meal and our desert. It was really good food from the beginning to the end. The service was exceptional and down to earth friendly. The bathrooms were stocked; but, if I could make any suggestion it would be to really deep clean the bathrooms every so often. read more

They make the best turkey platter The stuffing is specially delusive, and a turkey gravy is delicious.

Listen, you need to come here, and you need to get the chicken and waffles. Today it was served with their strawberry butter and OMG it was like eating a strawberry glazed donut! Metro Diner is a chain and we went to the one in Newark, DE - the FIRST Metro Diner in DE. Today, their flavored coffee was hazelnut and their flavored iced tea was mint - both delicious flavors! If the staff offers their side of hot & sweet syrup - take them up on it! My spicy tolerance is low so let them know and they can customize the spice ;) We are definitely coming back one day or visiting another chain. Happy eating! :) read more

Service: 4/5 was friendly and attentive Food: 3/5 portions are good but the food flavor was just meh. Nothing too bad but nothing worth returning for either. Philly cheesesteak 2/5 it was way too salty and they don't even mix in the cheese they just lay a cold slice on top. NOT how you make a Philly cheesesteak. The chicken sandwich was ok. Overall, probably wouldn't return unless it was convenient. read more

My first time at the place. Everything was good except for the coffee. It was too weak for me. I added 2 creamers, which I don't it's a lot, and the coffee was like completely white. Service was good. Overall was a good experience. Sorry, I forgot to take photos of the food. read more
