    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. We chose to sit outside since it was pretty cold inside, and the outdoor seating was perfect. 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!

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

    Western Omelet

    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!

    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.

    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.

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.

My husband and I both got the double cheeseburgers, which were juicy, cheesy, and perfectly cooked -- just like a diner burger should be. The kids had kids' meals with cheeseburgers that were huge (definitely not your typical tiny kids' portions -- they were thrilled!). We also had to try the chili cheese dogs, which were messy in the best way and packed with flavor. And the malts -- wow. We went full nostalgic with a chocolate and a strawberry malt, and they were perfectly thick, creamy, and sweet. Total throwback in the best way possible. If you're craving a fun, family-friendly spot with great food, friendly faces, and a blast-from-the-past atmosphere, Mel's is the place! We'll definitely be back.
