My sister recently moved to Florida and found that this diner was rated the best in Florida so naturally during a girls weekend we had to try it out. We went for breakfast twice and each time we found the food delicious and plentiful and the service excellent. Now keep in mind that there's a wait for tables - which is indicative of how good the food is. I know this review is short but I will let the pictures speak for themselves. I found a new breakfast place whenever I'm in Florida. read more

Metro Diner - Fried Chicken & Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

We stopped in for afternoon late lunch, 5 adults and 2 children. It was busy, service was efficient, and food was classic diner fare. I had meat lovers scrambled egg bowl which was tasty and plentiful. Someone ordered the gravy and biscuits and it was way too much food. The kids split a chicken tenders. The chicken was more broasted than fried. read more

Birthday breakfast! Came to my neighborhood Metro. Wait was only 15 mins on a Saturday. Got seated and was immediately greeted and drink orders taken. Food arrived to table 15 mins later. Super speedy! I was surprised when the Benedict was not so warm, especially since it was so quick. But I love me a Metro Benedict and other than that it was delicious. Pros: -Food always tastes the same (except it was on the cooler side this time). You know what you're going to get. -Served quickly and server was very polite and attentive. Cons: -Seating right next to the bathroom. I even saw someone unzipping their pants as they were walking in. Grossed me out. Next time will specify not near the bathroom. See you next time. read more

Metro Diner - Eggs, Side & Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Metro Diner is our little Brunch spot when we visit our friend In Jacksonville. He has been living in Jacksonville for about 2.5 years now, and we always end our stay with a trip to Metro Diner. It's quite popular as everytime we visit it's packed and there is at least a 30-45 minute wait. Throw in Covid and you see the disaster. Anywho, we got our order to go, after telling the associate over the phone 3xs clearly, "This is not a mobile app order, but an order for pick-up".... Poor thing must have been over-worked that day.... We wanted to keep drinking and smoking Hooka while we eat (str8 up ATL style) but the food just never came....Now, we waited about 30 minutes before leaving home to grab the food, and when we got to the restaurant, we still had to wait another 45 minutes! We found that to be OFF, because total that was about 1hr and 15 minutes... We were on a tight schedule, as we were headed back to Atlanta and literally ate and got on the road. When we got home we started taking orders out the bag, and the (2) orders of Chicken and Waffles was solely Fried Chicken. It literally looked as though somebody had prepped the containers to be plated, but another associate sealed it up, and placed in the bag without comparing the receipt. We were missing a large portion of our order, and had paid for it. The food makes up for the mistake, as there's MANY options and it's delicious, but I'm starting to notice a customer service and quality trend here... Nonetheless, I still gave 4 stars but the mistakes and long waits are starting to add up! In total we spent well over $100. We ordered beverages to go, Croissant French Toast, Chicken n Waffles....Well, Chicken, The American Burger with Fries, and the Spicy Chicken Biscuit with potatoes. read more

So I've been coming here off and on for years and the food quality tends to shift up and down. Lately though it's massively hit or miss, for example one time the salmon is cooked to perfection and the next time it's slimy. But what convinced me to actually sit down and write a review was the 20hrs of exorcist level food poisoning that I just had to go through. As someone who's suffered with IBS most of my life I'm used to a little discomfort from food in general but dear God's when I tell you that I was curled up on the bathroom floor for hours unable to even stand I'm not joking, I was 4hrs away from going to the emergency clinic. So while I love the staff (Manager mico-manages them to hell) I can't recommend eating here anymore unless you either have a cast iron stomach or get off on projectile vomiting everything you've ever eaten in the past year. read more

Always good. Fast friendly service. Great place for family meet ups. Great variety on the menu ama they don't mind substitutions on the sides. Try it! read more

Metro Diner - I think this was called the bacon avocado bowl. It was delicious. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

As usual the food here is always great. I had the Holy Davoli burger last week which is a cheeseburger in between two grilled cheese w/bacon sandwiches. What a gut buster! Bring your appetite . Today it's fried chicken and waffle but I have a twist. My waffle is a Blueberry with Lemon sauce. BUT...The best thing is we were served by a waitress named HEATHER who looks just like Alicia Keys!. She has a great attitude and I hope she gets noticed. read more

Metro Diner - Chicken Benedict. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Ordered the fish and chips and kids chicken tenders through Door Dash. Absolutely disgusting. The fish had an overpowering fish smell and the batter (I'm assuming that's what it was) was so salty I couldn't even eat it. I tried to doctor it up with vinegar but to not avail. The coleslaw was lovely. If you're looking for good fish and chips you'd be better off going to Captain D's. No offense Metro Diner, you do great breakfasts but this you need to give a pass. $26 for that was a total waste. read more

Metro Diner - My Dad and I had a omelette it was so good - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Love their breakfast! Ive ate at a few locations around Jacksonville and always friendly service, pleasant atmosphere, and good food!

The food is ok and they give you enough but it's a little pricey and I prefer Grumpy's. After reading my review it should have sounded better because waffles and chicken was excellent and the pot pies are really good. Pastrami sandwiches are also great. I actually love this place for personal reasons and hope they remain open with all these restaurants shutting down. So I change my opinion to 5 stars. read more

Love the chicken tenders salad. Always friendly staff. Worth a slight wait. Breakfast is good too.

The ambiance was warm and welcoming as it was me and my spouse's first time at this Metro Diner location. The food (chicken and waffles x 2) was delicious also. However, the star of the show was our waitress, Heather. From our initial seating, drink orders and refills, food suggestions, and food ordering, Heather was remarkable. She was joyous, smiling and a joy to encounter during our time. We can't wait to return to this location again in the hopes of getting the same superior service and overall experience. read more

Have actually eaten here twice in the last week. The food and service were very good both times. There is nice outside dining in addition to the inside dining room. We had the honey chicken sandwich and the fried chicken sandwich on the first night. I had the fried chicken sandwich tossed in Buffalo sauce which had a good kick to it. Both sandwiches were more than we could eat but both tasted great. On the second trip we had the chicken pot pie and the shepherds pie. Both were piping hot when they came out. They were both very flavorful and a large portion. The food here is a great value for the quality and portion sizes. Oh yeah, they have $3 house wine too read more

we love coming to Metro Diner, the food is always good and the service there is great!

This place is decent but, can be hit or miss. Good service and decent variety of food. My boyfriend and I ordered the chicken and waffles and steak/scramble bowl to split. So glad we got the chicken and waffles because they were actually delicious. I had been reluctant to try this dish but, it's definitely the best on the menu and makes sense that's why they're famous for it. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It had plenty of sweet topping and was served with a spicy-sweet sauce that was awesome. 10/10 would get this again. The steak scramble bowl didn't hit the mark though. Steak was tough and there just wasn't any flavor to it. If you go, order the chicken and waffles! read more

Went to Metro last night and had a nice quiet evening with my wife. The food was hot and tasty. The service from our waiter was excellent and I gave him an extra tip. The only complaint is that we were harassed by another waitress with pig tails the entire time we were there. She slammed a chair into our table and said we needed to make room for her to pass. She spoke to us like we were children and we didn't appreciate the rude treatment read more

We had breakfast there today and the service was great. However, the breakfast fell short. I ordered the Western Omelet with hash browns, sausage, and coffee. The Omelet looked good but had too much filler in it and not enough cheese. It took awhile to get our order and by the time we got our meal the food just wasn't hot enough for my taste. read more

Chicken and waffles are really good here! Chicken is always crispy and they give you a lot along with a big waffle with strawberries! My. Favorite, my husband like the steak egg scramble bowl so highly recommend these two dishes they are both delicious.

Love the food people,and atmosphere,had a nostalgic feel which I loved! The wait staff was wonderful and paid attention to their guests

The food is great and the service is even better. I think Sharon and Ryan are stars!

I have a fascination with restaurants I've seen on my favorite food shows. If they look appealing, I make a note of them and try my best to check 'em out if I'm in their area. I learned about Metro Diner years ago from an episode of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and have stopped by a few times since my viewing. Metro Diner has become so successful that they've established a ton of locations throughout the South. I've only been to the ones in and around Jacksonville but my favorite so far is the diner in Orange Park. While all of the venues I've stepped foot in have had the friendliest service, Orange Park's establishment seems to have the most seasoned food in my opinion. I'm a Bayou Boy straight from Louisiana so my palate has been spoiled from years of Cajun cooking which means it takes quite a bit of flavor to satisfy me. Orange Park has done so repeatedly. If you're interested, you can Google the Triple D episode Metro Diner was on. I know the original broadcast is on the Food Network's site. If not, then simply stop by and see just why they continue to multiply like Gremlins in water. read more

The food whether delivery or dine in is always spot on. Chicken and waffles for some in my house are a favorite. I just like the fried chicken as I'm not a waffle fan. Never had anything from Metro the disappoints. read more

Delicious, can even bring your own bottle of champagne for mimosas (we sat outside). One of my favorite brunch places.

Just know that when you go there, if you're not happy with the service, you will be confronted question by the owner who stays in the restaurant apparently all day the waitress staff, and the hostess are extremely defensive. read more

Love the food and the service is top-tier! Prices are reasonable fair for the quality of the food. I absolutely love their chicken salad yum!!! read more

This is a local favorite and they have so many new locations! Breakfast is the way to go with chicken and waffles or eggs Benedict. It gets busy during peak times of the day. read more

Metro Diner - Metro Club - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Bayyyybe! If you want a great breakfast w/large portions for your hard earned coins...Metro's got you! PSA.... If you want quaint, quiet... you better get there early cuz this is one of THE MAIN breakfast spots in Jax...ALL LOCATIONS.... and the kitchen is open... so btwn yelling the orders around and getting your food all the way together and the dining room chatter it can be a bit loud, but not in a bad way to me. When i gaze around, i see families, friends and out of town guests glad to spend time w/loved ones fellowshipping over great food, lots of smiles and laughter; young people, older couples, no foolishness... its a good vibe and the servers work hard to get you your food and everything you may need, so you can get too it.... Chowing down! They are pretty quick w/the food, its the patrons that chill a bit longer that cause the wait, thats just my opinion though. Ive had everything from Chicken & Waffles, Corned Beef Hash, French Toast to Shrimp & Grits... all good eats and large portions too! Orange Park and Julington Creek (Mandarin area) have brunch cocktail's.... Yes, yes and HELL YES!!!! Lol.... If you fall theu Jax, Fl definitely find you a Metro Diner, you wont regret it. Oh yeah, they sell thr own T-shirts... luv it! read more

Love the meatloaf dinner ! 5 stars My wife had an omelette which was great too . Very fresh , great service . read more

I'm a little disappointed because I had high hopes for this place. We were seated quickly by the hostess at the front. Another waitress took our drink orders. A different waitress took our food order. Another different waitress brought our food. And another one refilled our drinks. I mean...why so many different servers and who was I supposed to tip? I guess they'll figure out who gets it. So anyways, I ordered chicken and waffles which looks good in the picture but, the chicken was so dry! It had no flavor or seasoning at all. It was soggy and seemed as if it was refried chicken or they cooked it in old oil because it was very dark colored and not crisp. The waffle was okay. Could have been cooked about a minute longer as the inside was a little undercooked. I may or may not give them a second chance... read more
