    Western Omelet
    Nichole E.

    They've done an admirable job making a strip mall location look like a friendly little diner. Our server was nice and efficient, and the food was fine. I wouldn't order the bacon, egg and cheese croissant again, though -- the bottom part of the croissant was soggy and it was hard to pick it up. I would give it 3.5 stars if yelp allowed half stars.

    This is experience at Metro Diner was beyond exceptional. We have been to this location many times with amazing experiences, and this time is no different. Our server, Kellee, was quick to take our orders, and we had our food out in no time. She refilled our drinks without us even asking, which is a trait of an awesome server. Every plate on our table tasted so good, and our highlight was definitely the fried chicken alongside some flavorful ranch. Overall, this was an amazing brunch for us. It was a tad bit cold inside, so I would suggest bringing a jacket of some sort. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to have an amazing brunch!

    My friends know I'm a sucker for breakfast food, usually for lunch. Metro Diner is the perfect fit for someone like me, offering breakfast all day! I was seated promptly and waited on by Ava. She was very friendly and helpful, allowing me time to peruse the menu while she retrieved my coffee/water. I chose the veggie omelet with grits and fresh fruit sub for the toast. I'm not kidding when I say that my food arrived within 5 mins! The miracle of their electronic order pads. One of the other wait staff delivered it to me, hot and fresh. I love grits, and MD's are perfectly seasoned. The fruit was super fresh and all ripe, and my omelet was perfectly cooked with lots of veggies inside. It was such a large portion I took half home for another yummy breakfast. Ava warmed up my coffee and was attentive when needed. I paid her when I finished and went on about my day, full and happy! This MD had a couple special menus describing new burger offerings, poutine and cheese curds. They also advertised several specials on the wall, and if it suits your fancy, you can get beer/wine here. I noticed they had a mimosa flight special, which would be perfect for a weekend treat. The dining room was clean and all tables were bussed promptly. Great experience!

    Homefries

    I was in town for a cheerleading competition and needed some good breakfast. Found this place on Yelp and decided to drop by in the -3 degree snowy weather. We arrived and they were packed. A lot of people in the waiting area. I knew the food had to be good. We were seated in about 5/10 minutes. I ordered the Fruity Waffle, bacon and eggs and a side of home fries. The food came fresh and hot. The side of home fries is big enough for two. I shared them with my wife and daughter. The fruit on the waffle was delicious. I was thrown off however by the blueberries being inside the waffles. It was a surprises to me. I wish I would have known as I didn't really care for it. Next time I'm in Indy I'll definitely stop by. This time I'll know to get the blueberries on the side. Good prices and a lot of food. Winner for me.

    First time here in years, the reception was great but the seats were distasteful. Food was left on the benches, I had to ask the person to clean it twice, then he got annoyed with me, and the cart he was pushing around was full of liquid that should have been emptied. But Jeff, the restaurant manager, came and made it great for us, apologizing for what happened, and please don't let that stop from returning. we said we would, and our waitress Brittany was nice. Please visit this location, you won't be disappointed with the food.

    Famous Iron City Meatloaf
    Christopher A.

    My fiancé and I went here for a late breakfast around 4 PM on a Monday and we're super disappointed. The best thing about the place was the service. Our waitress was really nice but that was where it really ended. The place looked a bit ran down when we walked in and could definitely use some updating as well. We ordered the meat loaf and bowl. My meatloaf came out and was mushy, tasted weird and wasn't worth the money. It was also drowned out by a ton of gravy. My girls bowls steak was incredibly chewy and had very little flavor. The experience was sad because it was our first time here and we will not be returning.

    Steak Tips, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Steamed Green Beans
    Richard Walton C.

    After shopping with my sister and her daughter-in-law we stopped in for a bite to eat. it was about 2:30 pm and it was not that crowded even for a weekend. We were seated right away and drink orders were taken shortly thereafter. They had one of my new favorites, Coke Zero. I ordered a Belgian Waffle topped with Powdered Sugar, my sister ordered the Grilled 3 Cheese and added bacon and tomato plus a cup of fruit for her side. Her daughter-in-law got the Steak Tips with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. My waffle was thick like the menu said, a bit tough, but still good. My sister enjoyed her sandwich. The daughter-in-law demolished her bowl of food until there was nothing left. Our server checked in on us and brought the check before we finished eating. I do like not having to wait for a check once I'm finished eating. She returned promptly to pick up the payment too.

    Service is good and the atmosphere is okay but the food is very mediocre AT BEST. Eggs very bland, pancakes were solid as a rock somehow.

I love finding a coffee shop that has their own house made syrups. I tried the monthly special, Wildflower latte with an added espresso shot and sadly it just tasted like flavored milk. I want to be able to taste the espresso and decided to pivot to a cocktail instead. Their cocktails were well made and the presentation was perfect. While there isn't a large selection of liquors, they have the staples to make most go-to cocktails in addition to their monthly specials (both cocktail and mocktail options). The food is what really stands out and would bring me back. You are able to choose a salad, flatbread or sandwich and their creations are unique and delicious. I had the pesto, peas and goat cheese on flatbread and was pleasantly surprised to find I could order the flatbread as a half order for $9 instead of committing to a whole order. I will be back but the coffee still needs some work before it would be enticing enough to became my go to location. Overall, it's a fun spot with options for everyone and a great addition to the Plainfield area.

Our server Emily was cheerful and informative. A parking garage across the street served us well for dining at this restaurant and attending an event at Hendricks Live across the street. The shrimp cocktail appetizer featured fresh large shrimp with dollops of horseradish on the plate and a nice sauce. I enjoyed the steak frites entree, a generous portion of steak perfectly cooked, served with a delicious broccolini and tasty fries. My sister ordered the chicken marsala and noted that she would have liked more sauce, and the truffle potatoes were delicious. My brother said his huge pork chop was perfect, and my sister in-law recommended the sirloin steak. We had reservations and were seated at a high top table, which is not my preferred way to dine but the restaurant was full so we didn't ask to be moved. We had a bit of a wait for our entrees and chalked that up to it being Saturday night. There is a separate bar area and rooftop dining with igloos available.

I drove an hour to visit this place and saw lots of good reviews. I started off with a lemon drop and a snack short rib eggroll. The lemon drop was watery and just did not hit like I would have hoped (I'm a lemon drop girly). They do use Titos as their well so that was good. The egg roll was dry- you definitely need to dip in the wasabi aioli to make it palatable. Next up were the buffalo chicken hush puppies. I like the idea here. The inside was moist and flavorful and the outside was kind of dry and drizzled with what I think was ranch. They were ok. I have a Ceaser salad add chicken and "fried" Brussels sprouts. The salad was suppose to come the onions , there were none so the waitress brought me some. The salad was mid at best and the chicken was dry and unflavored. I asked for some spicy ranch and that saved the salad! The Brussels sprouts were pretty good. My friend had the potato soup and said it was very watery (not creamy at all). I enjoyed the live music and overall vibe but good was average. Parking is an issue as well. There is parking in the rear or a parking garage but not super convenient parking.

Every time we walk in, we are immediately greeted by the cheerful staff and warm, retro ambiance. There are so many things I love about Oasis, but I think the biggest thing is the true diner-style environment they have. Classic bar stools and a counter with several pies, cozy booths, and even outdoor seating! In the main dining area, the decor showcases all sorts of retro/vintage history with 8-tracks, vinyls, and license plates from decades past. As they are also along the Historic National Road, their menu reflects the other cities along the highway with their breakfast combos! If you want a different route to get here, they are also situated right along the White Lick Creek Trail, so it's an easy walk (or bike) across the pedestrian bridge to some delicious American food! As well as the ambiance I've discussed, I also love that they are a frequent participant of the Devour Indy promotions, as the promotions and deals they offer are well worth it! Over the many times I've been here, I've tried quite a few things off their menu, and they have a lot! Prices are very reasonable (I think they have gone up just a smidge since I've been there but nothing too crazy). If you stop in the morning (or any time, really) their cappuccino is AMAZING! I just get a basic cappuccino, but there are additional flavors you can add (Toffee and French Vanilla are two that I remember). Their burgers are always cooked to perfection, and the fries are a joy to eat (especially if you get the loaded fries!). Overall, this is a restaurant that is truly one of my all-time favorites and I will go out of my way to stop and have a meal here.

I've gotten breakfast here twice, and we're normally here for dinner. Prices are always really good and we can get a good value for our meals. As of late, I've discovered their cappuccinos which either can be flavored with French Vanilla or English Toffee. I'm partial towards the toffee flavor since I like the complexity of the toasted caramel notes. Our servers are always really friendly. I believe the servers are mainly around student age, so it's nice that they can get good work experience. Because they're presumably underage I don't want to list anyone in particular for a special shoutout, but I can give them all a blanket shoutout of positivity! The atmosphere has more retro elements than I first realized, with a whole wall of vinyls and 8-tracks. There's also a nice mural with Indiana license plates so you can see the design evolution. The road map with a few different highlighted cities is also pretty neat.
