    Fried chicken dinner. Looked great, but was overcooked.
    Ron F.

    Nice welcoming diner, non pretentious atmosphere. I was seated promptly and the server came for the table immediately, very friendly and helpful. I ordered the fried chicken platter and substituted the green beans for mac & cheese. The chicken looked great, but it was definitely overcooked which made it dry and tough. That's unfortunate as it had a lot of potential. I didn't care for the flavor of the mashed potatoes, as they had some kind of a garlic flavor to it. The mac & cheese and biscuit were good. Would've give higher score if the fried chicken was not overcooked.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a good spot for a casual meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came for dinner so it was almost empty inside (breakfast is the busiest time).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was excellent of course.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is a popular place for a lot of my alumni, so for a summer meeting when some of them picked here to meet I wasn't surprised, it's a nice location, and the staff is very friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a tasty grilled cheese with tomatoes, and well as some mac and cheese. My alumni enjoyed their ribs and chicken and waffles as well. Metro diner has great options! Check them out

    Stopped by this diner and was really impressed! The portions are huge and the menu has so many options to choose from. I heard they're known for their chicken and waffles, so we had to try it--and it did not disappoint. Crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth the hype. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We chose to sit outside since it was pretty cold inside, and the outdoor seating was perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was excellent--we got seated right away, and the food came out fast and hot. Portions were so generous that we left with leftovers of everything (never a bad thing!). If I find myself back in Indiana, I'd definitely come here again. A solid spot for comfort food and great service!

    Amazing food and service!! I really recommend the chicken Caesar salad!! Our server was Anna and she was so sweet

    Great and friendly service when I spent my lunch hour here. Southwest Scramble Bowl with salt and hot sauce made it complete. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Busy joint with lots of people eating, comfortable booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Western Omelet
    Nichole E.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]They've done an admirable job making a strip mall location look like a friendly little diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a tad bit cold inside, so I would suggest bringing a jacket of some sort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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
    Jerran N.

    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.

    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.

    First time here in years, the reception was great but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the seats were distasteful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Stacks is a down-to-earth local restaurant "chain" (two locations) in the Indy area. It specializes…read morein breakfast and does the basics very well. This location is just off Quaker Blvd. near the I-70 interchange and is quite convenient to the gaggle of airport hotels clustered around it. The building and the interior are reminiscent of Midwestern family-style restaurants. The facility is comfortable with ample seating, however, having both booths and tables. The breakfast menu features traditional Midwestern breakfast fare with pancakes, of course, as a cornerstone offering. We visited on a Friday morning and were seated right away. Our server, Amy, took care of us quickly and did a good job throughout our visit. My colleague went with the theme and got the big stack of six pancakes, too much for one sitting. He also got a side of fresh fruit, which was a nice offering. I went a little heavier and got the corned beef hash, a favorite of mine. Here, it comes with hash browns, which is a little unusual. I certainly appreciated this nuance. I also had some hash and potatoes left over to take away. We both thought our choices to be quite good. The coffee was not bad and more than adequate with food (not sure how it would be on its own, which is the ultimate test for coffee). Between the two of us with food, drink, tax and tip, we spent $42. By today's standards, that's not unreasonable. It was not a bad value considering we each had enough to take away for another meal. I would not hesitate to go back if another opportunity arose.

    We had breakfast at Stacks Pancakes. With a name like that, I expected the pancakes to be the star…read moreof the show. Unfortunately, the pancakes were a 2 out of 10 for me. The service was mediocre, and the ambiance was slightly unpleasant. Of course, this was just my experience. If you decide to visit, give it a try and form your own opinion. I'm only visiting the area, but if I return, I'll definitely be trying somewhere different.

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.

    Eh, fell a bit short for me…read more The ambiance and vibes are great! Service was great as well!! The food is where it fell short for me. 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.
