Restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived. Placed our order and it took 20+ minutes to be served. Coffee was not refilled even once during that wait. The food came, I ordered biscuits & gravy with a side of sausage. When served, they had forgotten the sausage so I reminded the waitress. She said "Ok" and left. She returned about 5 minutes later and asked if I wanted links of patties. I replied "patties". Another 5 minutes and the patties appeared. Since I had already completed my meal I told her to disregard the sausage. I ultimately only got offered coffee refill one time. The food was mediocre at best. This was disappointing as I had been looking forward to eating at Metro. I will give them one more shot before I put them in the "DO NOT RETURN" list. The place needs some work... read more

When I waked in I was greeted kindly with a friendly young woman with a a brilliant smile and great personality! My waiter was another kind, friendly and helpful young man. My drink and food order came super quick and exactly as I ordered. Once the bill came and at a time when even food at places like McDonalds can be expensive I thought my meal and service was priced quite well! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! God Bless! read more

Metro Diner - Meat Lovers Omelet and HASHBROWNS with ketchup - Diners Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

Great service as always! We had a large party and they were very accommodating. As pleasant as can be. Fried fish and salmon were good. Chicken pot pie was a little on the salty side. Charleston Shrimp and grits was okay too. read more

Family and I went here for breakfast. We sat out on the patio area as it was a nice day. Our waitress Tracey was great! She is efficient, polite and has a great sense of humor. Our food came out timely and was hot. Everything was prepared well and tasted great. Plenty of food on each plate. The children's menu is the best I've seen. Kids got chocolate chip pancakes, potatoes, eggs and bacon. That's a lot of food and they all cleaned their plates. I had the shrimps and grits. It was a large portion and full of flavor. Grits were cream and cheesy, cooked perfectly. Shrimps and gravy were seasoned well. We all truly enjoyed our breakfast. read more

Great breakfast spot! (Haven't had lunch there yet but the entire extensive menu is available all day) It's somewhere between Classic Southern Comfort food and A NJ diner. Burgers, Benedicts, Meatloaf and more. It's the kind of place that you want return to just to try something else. The chicken and waffles is a mammoth platter they will easily feed 2. Breakfast bowls won't leave you hungry either. If you're looking for really good eats, you need to check this out! Side note- I noticed a billing problem with my card. Called, spoke to Jimmy and he fixed it immediately. Thank you. read more

Metro Diner - Avocado Breakfast Sandwich - Diners Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

Hopefully, they were just having a bad night, I have always had a good experience at this location. I always get fried chicken. It came out super fast. The chicken was not very hot and was tough. There were 3 servers and only 6 tables with people seated. Service was very slow and not very friendly. I will be back but only once if things don't get better. read more

Metro Diner - Fried chicken platter - Diners Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

This place falls into the "Great Place For" category in my books. I went there for a late breakfast and ended ordering one of their chalkboard specials, Crabcake egg benedict. Presentataion and taste was on par. Looking at the this place had very good lunch and dinner offerings. Place was very clean, but still had that small town diner vibe. Wait staff were top-notch. All in all, a good place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

Metro Diner - Crabcake egg benedict - Diners Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

I first went to the original Metro Diner many years ago and enjoyed it. I've been skeptical since because they've expanded into a small chain. Finally decided to try the one in Pooler and was glad I did. This place really has the classic diner feel with the old fashioned service and thick coffee mugs and huge portions. Tried several things. The hash bowls are incredible, biscuits and gravy are also good and enough for 4 people, the waffle light and enjoyable. Still spent less than $60. read more

At one time the food was always good and consistent. But the last year or so, they have been serving Re- fried chicken that is pre cooked, then fried again when ordered. Sad thing is, people are realizing it, yet they continue to do it. read more

Metro Diner - Chicken comes out dark, tough and overly chewy. - Diners Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

Had a terrible tasting chicken pot pie. Kind of a metallic flavor to the chicken. The crust looked like it had been pulled out of the freezer and thrown into the oven. Im used to seeing crust golden brown, at least around the edges. It was just plain white. And I was guessing, it might have been undercooked? I just left there and I think the prices were extremely high. I wound up paying twenty one dollars for just a pot pie that was dropped down in front of me and a glass of iced tea. That includes the tip that I left the server. read more

Serving lots of comfort food, this diner that sits next to the outlet mall seems to be popular. I had the turkey with stuffing, mashed potato, and side of broccoli. Everything was good, but not great mainly because it was sooo salty. My wife said that her entree was also very salty. They were short staffed the day we visited and as a result, service was marginal. read more

Just left after shopping for a few hours. Our server dawn was a hoot and a holler. She delivered excellent service, had a great attitude and was all around exactly what you would need. She gave out great recommendations, got to know us a little, and delivered excellent service. Unfortunately we're from out of state but if we're ever back we'll definitely ask for her. Food was excellent, ambiance was also nice. Thank you dawn!! read more

Ok Steven the manager was excellent. Super attentive and recognized that our seats had been swiped and got us a seat right away but totally didn't have to do it. Was very appreciative and it just shows you how he and the management runs the place. Our server katelin (sp?) was great as well. We ordered poached eggs w tomatoes, Belgian waffle w sausage and veggie omelette w turkey sausage and hash browns and toast. All super flavorful. Inside is booth or table seating . Great diner feel and they get you in and out quickly . Kudos to the team for runnin an excellent resto w great and friendly service. This is hard to come by nowadays read more

I drive all the way from South Carolina just to get the chicken and waffles. The service is good it's a small place so wait times seem to be longer but I promise the chicken and waffles is worth it with the spicy sauce 10/10 hands down. read more

Was in the area picking up someone from Savannah Airport. Did some shopping nearby and needed a quick lunch to take the edge off around 12:30pm. A quick Google search led us to the Metro diner--I should have wondered why it was not crowded, even located on the outskirts of a Tanger outlet. But I was famished and at least we got seated immediately. Don't get me wrong--our server, Aaliyah, was very friendly and attentive. I ordered two eggs over medium, with sausage links, and hash-browns crispy on both sides. The hash-browns were amazing and cooked to order. I got a side of bacon instead of sausage, and the eggs were more over easy. Not sure if folks know that "medium" are cooked slightly longer so they wouldn't be runny. I was raised NOT to waste food, so although some customers might send back the bacon for sausage, I ate it anyway. I ordered a hot tea with milk, but there was no English breakfast option; only hibiscus, Earl Grey, and green tea. Seriously? Another diner in which coffee drinkers reign supreme. My friend had the BLT, which did look amazing. It appears the dish to have at Metro diner is the fried chicken and waffles with strawberry butter (I watched the patrons behind us get served) and I would have tried them if I'd been able to eat a huge meal. We were hungry, we got fed. I was underwhelmed by Metro Diner on my first visit. read more

My first time here and I guess i picked the wrong dish. Asked the waitress about shrimp and grits, "We're known for them". Yep, i get it's not traditional NOLA but this was really bad. Grit cakes are a neat idea and they were spoiled by the gallon or so of supreme sauce/bechamel, tasteless goop that was liberally tossed. I called in a USCG team to rescue the shrimp but it was too late. They were overwhelmed by the sauce like a man trying to escape quicksand. I've heard this place is good. The server was kind and i liked the vibe. Just stay away from that dish IMHO. read more

Metro Diner - Shrimp and grits - Diners Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

It is a diner, no doubt. They have a couple of beers in bottles. Decor is diner simple no issues there. Service is a tad slow but I think that is normal for the south. Now what I cannot get past was the Men's room was flooded with toilet paper all over the floor. They had to know because they placed a caution wet floor sign but clearly no attempt was made to clear the garbage from the floor. No excuses. read more

Metro Diner - Diners Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

So good! Easily THE best breakfast in ages. Cute casual, around-the-corner diner that happens to be attached to the Outlets. Which coincidentally is perfect for walking off the food you overeat. Initial service was worrisome, after we were seated no eye contact with us, and all the staff walked past for nearly 10 minutes then server approached and everything was uphill from there. Both ordered The Biselle breakfast, scrambled eggs fluffy, bacon crisp but not burnt, hashbrowns had flavor crisp & not equally, pancakes fluffy and plenty of whipped butter on top. Flavors coffee option, lots of good and beverage options also. Server was attentive and friendly. Ordered to-go burger & fries for dinner and had a taste, equally pleased. Food was not great, perfectly cooked. Highly recommend stopping in for a meal. Oh and prices, read more

If you need a delicious meal after a day of shopping at Tanger Outlets, pull up a seat at Metro Diner. Service is great and food is tasty. The menu has a great variety, from breakfast and mimosas, to delicious burgers, pot pies, and more. Usually Metro Diner is packed, we missed the afternoon crowd, due to the onset of Tropical Storm Debbie. The restaurant was open, service was great and food was delicious. The ambiance was cozy. read more

Stopped in on a Friday night , only issue is the traffic around the outlet area . The metro diner itself was really good. Fast friendly service and really good meal. Husband had Philly cheesesteak and I had the meatloaf., we both enjoyed our meal read more

Although the food is good, I've now been there three times and the service was terrible each time, with the same excuse; they're having issues in the kitchen. This past time someone in our party ordered a BLT, but it came without the tomato. I ordered a breakfast with white toast and at first I was given another kind of bread, and then nothing at all. This type of service has happened each time , with a wait of more than a half hour as well. If you don't mind waiting and not getting what you ordered go and enjoy... the food is good. read more

From its humble start in a single location in Jacksonville, Florida, Metro Diner has grown into a significant culinary empire in a few short years. I have been a fan of Metro Diner for years. In fact, my first experience at Metro Diner was at the original location in Jacksonville when my daughter and I stumbled upon that location when heading back to Orlando, Florida from a trip up to my home state of New Jersey. We were both instant fans of the establishment. The Metro Diner can claim its history back to 1938, though that was when the building was built and opened as a diner. In the early 1990's, 1992 to be exact, the Metro Diner was rebranded as the Metro Diner and in 2000, the Davoli Brothers (Mark and John) purchased the Diner and their father came on board a few years later and Metro Diner began expanding throughout Jacksonville, Florida. In 2010, the Metro Diner was featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and the popularity of that particular Food Network television show brought this diner its own level of popularity and with that popularity brought even more expansion. With that expansion came change. Unfortunately, one if those changes was a more streamlined menu and one of the items dropped from the menu was my favorite item at the Metro Diner. This was a pork tenderloin sandwich with bacon and lettuce. Truly a fantastic sandwich, but unfortunately, it fell to the wayside. The Metro Diner still has some fantastic options. Their burgers are pretty stellar. My daughter originally had the chicken and waffles, which is still her favorite item on the Metro Diner's menu and is still on the Metro Diner menu today. Overall, I had a great experience at this particular Metro Diner, even if I could not have that fantastic pork tenderloin sandwich. I would definitely recommend this particular Metro Diner and I give it five stars. read more

Best, restaurant breakfast I had in a while. The croissant French toast was slamming.

It's hard to think about Metro Diner as a "local spot" anymore. They've been franchising all over the country at breakneck speed ever since appearing on Diner's, Drive-in's, and Dives back in 2010. But when you want Chicken and Waffles with that sweet strawberry butter and sweet and spicy maple syrup, it's the only place to go. Since I was in Savannah for the weekend, I headed to the Metro Diner in the Tanger Outlet in Pooler, GA. This is a comfort food for me. The waffles are light and fluffy and the chicken came out crispy and hot. I love how the strawberry butter and spicy maple syrup work with each other and complement the chicken and the waffle. Metro Diner may be expanding, but it's good to know the quality is still the same. read more

I had not been into Metro Diner for some time, but I recently stopped in after the area snow storms and to my surprise they were fully staffed and waiting for customers to roll in. The waitress Santana was amazing and super helpful. I tried the Valentine Strawberry Shortcake pancake stack with a side of crispy tenders, along with the mimosa flight. Everything was delicious, hot and fresh. I will definitely be back soon and request Santana each time! read more

lunch @2pm on 4/22/26. My wife had BLT, said it was good grade B+; son had Shepherds pie, and I got a bite, wow, it was great, grade A+( I'm going to have that next time); I had the Western Omelet, and it was very good grade A. We come from SC to the SAV airport and usually eat here when we do. Pooler is a great place to practice your defensive driving! read more

So the last 2 times we've been in just haven't been great food and service all around. Got a mug with dark brown lipstick on both side and the plates and silverware were filthy.

We ate there last week, prior to seeing the failing score of 58.. The service was awesome. I ordered the shepherd's pie and my husband ate the meatloaf. We both enjoyed our food. It was also family friendly environment, not overly noisy. I was really surprised by the score when I saw it as we were leaving from our visit to the area. read more

We came here with our four kids, and overall the experience was just okay. Two of them had the egg breakfast platters--they enjoyed the eggs and toast but didn't touch much else. I ordered the tangy chicken bowl, but it was surprisingly bland and didn't really live up to the "tangy" description. My daughter got the classic burger and found it way too greasy--she wished she'd gone with a breakfast option instead. The highlight was definitely the friendly and attentive service, but unfortunately the food itself didn't quite hit the mark for us. read more

We have always loved Metro Diner and don't have one close so when we travel it's always a good option. The manager was great! Very personable. Our service was ok but our server was not friendly. Also she never noticed that the previous customers at our table made a mess underneath. I had to avoid spilled coffee creamer and dirty napkins. Our food came quickly and it was just average. I had the fried chicken plate. The chicken was good and plentiful, but not freshly made as it wasn't very hot. My sides were meh - mashed potatoes and undercooked green beans with no flavor. My husband had the shepherds pie which he liked. We will not cross this chain off our list just yet as there are so many options to choose from. Gave it 3 stars because we are hopeful! read more

Had the pleasure of having breakfast at this Metro Diner in Savanah GA. It did not disappoint. When I arrived the place qas packed. The hostess Hailey said the wait would be about 10-15 minutes and she was right. We were seated in that time. We ordered the avocado toast which had great portions for the price. Also ordered the eggs Benedict over fried chicken on biscuit with a side of corn beefed hash. The food here is really delicious. My only complaint with the Metro diners I have cisited is that their house blend coffee is weak. The food though is absolutely amazing. read more
