I was waiting to go here for a few weeks after seeing some local posts. I finally made it on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. There was a wait for about 10 mins but was totally worth it. While we waited I was going through the menu and had my heart set on the chicken and waffles and the crabs Benedict.. both dishes are an awesome pick.. but I would go with the chicken and waffles if I had to rank them against each other. Very crispy well flavored chicken and the strawberry butter just brought out the flavor in the dish and would practically go well on anything. Great service as well! This place is a must try and a spot I will be frequenting for breakfast/brunch with friends/family that come to visit. read more

The food is just okay...now. Metro used to have really great tasting dishes. Now everything tastes too greasy and salty. I wish they had stayed consistent with their food quality. The Metro T-shirt I bought to get discounted meals gets more wear around the house instead of at the diner. I'll visit again because the staff is really friendly and they make the trip to the dinner worthwhile. read more

Hands down five stars. This place is always hopping and after visiting it was clear why. The menu is extensive. Food comes fast and the service is attentive, kind, and helpful. This is a must try if you are in the area, especially for a weekend brunch. read more

we went out to get ashes on ASH WEDNESDAY and wanted some breakfast. So, we noticed this diner on our way to church. On the way back we stopped. I am not one to wait for a table(NO restaurant is worth waiting for a table). So, I told me wife I am not waiting. BUT we were able to find two seats at the bar. They were cooking food right on the other side of the glass! The entire crew worked like a well-oiled machine. And to see the WHOPPING servings on every plate made my mouth water! Before we were even out of our coats a waitress came by and asked if we wanted coffee. She came back 2x to take our order but we hadn't decided. When we did decide and placed our order we sat and talked to the customers on both sides of us as we waited for the food and watched the crew machine working in complete unison on the other side of the glass. We both ordered the crab benedict dish and IT WAS HUGE serving. AND DELICIOUS!!! I have nothing to say about this place EXCEPT FOR 5 STAR compliments! The chef even has a GREAT name--Tim!!!! We will definitely make this a regular eatery for us. I would love to try their lunch ......and dinner menus!! I have already mentioned the restaurant to at least 5 people, already! read more

BEST FOOD EVER! The chicken & waffles are everything!! Can't go wrong with this place! We just moved to the area and will definitely be back to the Metro over and over and over again. read more

The service was full of love! Enjoyed the smiles! Everyone was very friendly! Grace unto you and peace be multiplied in Jesus Christ mighty name! read more

Metro Diner is always a favorite spot. The food was great! Sat by the kitchen and chatted with the kitchen which added so much to the experience. Marcus and the kitchen staff were a blast to chat with. My server was kind and attentive. I will be back! Perfect to grab breakfast lunch or dinner. Corn beef hash was on point! read more

Awesome food! We're from out of town and decided to stop by due to the great reviews. I had the chicken and waffles--amazing! Chicken was juicy, the waffle was tasty and the strawberry butter they put on top was a great touch. My husband had the western omelette and enjoyed it as well. We will def be back. Be prepared to wait for a table, but it's worth the time! read more

Incredible place! I've had the Monte Cristo (so sad it's not on the menu anymore), the Reuben, and the chicken salad sandwich. All 3 were absolutely delicious. Service has always been fast and very nice staff. Everything is super cheap too!! There are only 5 things on their extensive menu that are over $12. EXTREMELY reasonably priced especially considering how much you get! I always have to take half home. Can't wait to come back and keep trying other things! read more

Had an issue w the chicken and waffles and not only did they bring it back to fix, they brought over an entirely new plate of waffles as well. (The one who ordered it had already had half of the waffles before the new plate arrived). Food was all DELICIOUS. The service (Gabrielle/Gabby) was AMAZING. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. Also, thank you to the manager for coming over and addressing the problem. Will 100% be back. read more

Ordered the pot roast several times and it was the best I ever had. However, I ordered today and it was probably the worst I've ever had! Not sure if they switched recipes or chefs, but will never order again. Had one carrot and a bunch of very large onions...so disappointed!!! Also , it was fatty and not near as tender as in the past. So incredibly unfortunate. Save your $14 and go elsewhere! read more

We went here for dinner. Our server was nice. In fact, all the employees were nice which I appreciate! The food was average. Everyone was building this place up so maybe I had higher expectations but I won't be back. My husband thought his food was decent. read more

Incredible comfort food. Great service despite the busy breakfast crowds, highly recommend checking it out!!!

This food is bussin. Like actually it is so good especially the chicken and waffles. Shoutout to Caitlyn for being the nicest waitress ever!! She was so kind :)) read more

We love this diner. It's kid friendly and the food is excellent. My family has frequented this restaurant on a few occasions and have loved our food each time. My husband loves the cinnamon roll pancakes, they are a dessert!! I've had the shrimp and grits which was amazing as well. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Great food, service, and a warm welcoming environment. I love coming here, the owner is very welcoming and makes it a memorable experience.

This was my first time having breakfast in this restaurant. There was a 25 min wait but it was worth it. I had the Oscar Omelet (egg with crabmeat and asparagus...Delish!!! The server was great and the manager came out and talked to us for a bit. I will definitely go back...and plan to try the chicken and waffles that everyone rave about!!! read more

Great new diner. Great food great staff and super fast and efficient kitchen. Portions are huge and the price is right. Come down and get ya some. read more

While visiting a friend on a Saturday, she suggested we have breakfast at this establishment-she visited here before and was pleased, she wanted me to experience the pleasant dining. We arrived around 940am it was crowded, bustling and busy. There was at least a 15 minute or more wait. However, we were warmly greeted by the staff. When we eventually got seated, our waiter was very attentive, suggestive and patient. Prices were a bit expensive approximately $15 each dish, but the food portions were pretty large and worth it. I ordered the chicken and waffles and was pleased. Friend, ordered the shrimp and grits and wasn't what she expected. She didn't like the shrimp and grits, mentioned it to our waiter. The waiter, with out skipping a beat or attitude, and pleasantly asked her, would she like any thing else on the menu? Friend-yes, chicken and waffles. Now, that's great customer service! That's rare nowadays. Food was tasty, service was excellent, manager walking around talking to everyone. Great job. We will definitely recommend this resturant to friends and family. read more

Love the chef staff. They're always friendly and engaging to those sitting at the bar. It's become one my favorite diners in the area. Simple classics made quick and hot. read more

Great food, large portions for good prices! I had the two egg breakfast. I also ordered the Belgian Waffle. After eating the waffle I was stuffed! However, I did sample the eggs and sausage which will make for an excellent next day breakfast. read more

Well, I've had 5 meals here...all dinners. The food has always been good, but obviously some dishes they do better than others. I am a little incredulous at some reviews that complain about the service...makes me wonder what makes some people tick...because in my experience, the service is far superior to any place in the area...and Im a cranky old man. Great place...I recommend it. read more

I have to admit the I didn't expect much from this place but boy o boy. This diner is ah-May-zing!!! My family and I (5 1/2 of us lol) ate there today and we were seated fairly quickly although they were crowded. I noticed that in addition to dine in there is a good amount of people who get takeout from them. To start, our waitress Tasha was thee BEST waitress ever. She was extremely nice, very attentive and overall pleasant. She made sure to mention that they also do catering (good to know). There are plenty of options for everyone on the menu. Our food was delicious. Definitely the best food I've had at a restaurant in a while, and I've been to a lot, both high and low end recently. The prices are affordable no matter what you order. I ordered the bissell breakfast and ended up getting the chicken pot pie to go because the food was just that good. Joe the owner came to the tables checking on guests to make sure everything was good. My family and I made sure to compliment him on the food and the excellent service we received from Tasha. Overall I would DEFINITELY recommend going here. You will not be disappointed. This place just became one of our favorite places to dine for weekend breakfast/brunch. Can't wait to go back! read more

Came twice when it first opened figured it was growing pains , plus a good friend always encouraged us to come in and never wanted to go back . At the hospital this morning figured it would be better , well it was fast and and big pile of food. Lol, kinda like prison food! Hash brown nice on the outside , but raw potato on the inside , English muffin wasn't toasted no lore then 5 seconds , was cold and soft not not toasted. And butter was frozen, and too too it off the server saw the food sitting there and didn't ask or even refill the tea. Next year maybe they will have a better hiring person read more

I am from out of town and this place made me feel right at home. The service was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I had the chicken pot pie and it was absolutely delicious and my bill was $11 with coffee! Would highly recommend. read more

The fruity waffle! It was fruity and delicious! My daughter had the chicken and waffles...and I just have to say they serve a greatpretty much go here just about every week to get breakfast. I'm so glad I found this place! read more

Ive only been here once and the service was great and food amazing. Can't wait to return to try a new dish.

Really like the food here. Reasonable pricing and get nice amount of food for it. The chicken pot pie is really good. Big Mike's BLT is really big!! The only downside is they don't have late hours or even 24 hrs. The service is good, the girls are always so nice and happy! read more

Dominique was fabulous I would highly recommend this to anyone in the Newark area stop in and say hello and wish them well. The sandwich was cooked perfectly atmosphere is great they play great music the place is clean. The owner is friendly and you definitely want to check it out. read more

Metro Diner - Metro Melt with Macaroni and Cheese. - Diners Near Me - Newark, Delaware

My sister and her boyfriend took me to this place, and I was completely blown away. So far, I think this is the best Diner I have been to in Delaware. Food is absolutely amazing, and service was really good, even though it is pretty busy when we were there. Even the manager came and introduced himself and asked if we needed anything. This place is a must try. read more

Went there for lunch and the wait was over 30 minutes. We got seated and the waitress was amazing. Their thing seems to be mostly breakfast food but we ordered 3 different lunch items (pot pie, burger & fish and chips). Took at least 30 more minutes to get our order and even the waitress said she was starting to wonder where it was. The food was average nothing amazing. We will have to try the breakfast items since they looked good and had some interesting items on the menu. read more

We have visited 6 times since they opened and raved about the food and service every time !!!!!! Servers are great, well worth a wait (at the busiest time we never waited more than 20 minutes) and we have tried something different each time. We will continue visiting and trying new items. Thanks to the management for always having a welcoming presence on the floor. read more

Love it. Service is always great here and friendly. I thinks its cool that they order on Tablets, makes food quicker.

My favorite diner .... Right from when I lived in Jacksonville Florida .... Was really excited when they opened shop in Newark .... I have always loved their food.... Was happy to see that they maintained the same standard in Newark too .... My only concern would be that the menu lacks vegetarian options .... Otherwise it's a good place with great service read more

On Sunday morning, the waiting time is around 25min. But the food and service is great. :)

We stopped by the Metro Diner this morning for the first time and absolutely loved everything about the place. The food is amazing and almost everything on the menu is homemade! The managers are fantastic and you can tell they love their jobs. All the employees also seem to love their jobs. The service was great and everyone that works their seems like a work family. I highly recommend that any fellow food enthusiasts stop here and enjoy the atmosphere and food. We will definitely be going back again! read more

Stopped in for the first time today with my wife and MIL. Pound cake French toast, eggs/sausage patties for myself, biscuits and sausage gravy for my wife, and crab Benedict for my mother in law. Sausage gravy was great EXCEPT it wasn't very hot. Pound cake French toast was good but kinda pricey for just 4 slices. Eggs Benedict was good, but no spinach in the spinach hollandaise. Overall it was good. Pricing IS a little high. Service was a little hit-or-miss. But we'll go back in to try other stuff. read more

Had a wonderful lunch/dinner here on Wednesday. The server Tally was excellent. Wife had a quesadilla, and I had chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. Everything was excellent. Place is clean and service is efficient. Highly recommend Metro for breakfast/lunch/dinner. read more

Food was over cooked. Serve same table at total different times. Manager never came out after we complained

I don't think I will go back to this restaurant. The food is okay but what annoyed me was how the wait staff treated the line cooks. I was seated at the counter. There was a general lack of respect. It is a busy restaurant. I just didn't care for the atmosphere. read more
