Went in this past weekend for breakfast, it is a usual place for us to go. Always been great food, great service. This time, we sat at the counter. The service was great, the food was great-what I ate of it anyway, because halfway through the meal, a roach decides to crawl across my fiancé's plate, making its way to me. That being said, we had previously been in a couple of months earlier, and we left because there was a roach crawling up the wall, right next to me. We didn't tell anyone the first time, but since a second time happened, I feel the need to speak up. I will say that the manager was very apologetic and nice, and comped our meal. However, seeing a roach in there TWICE kinda creeped me out. I wasn't going to say anything, but I would want to know if something like that happened to someone else. read more

Best diner experience in GA! It was so good that I actually came here for breakfast more than once during my stay around Savannah. Steak and eggs was rock solid and well seasoned. The steak was cooked properly and not over/under. The hash brown here also had that awesome crisp. Also tried the corned beef hash, which was really tasty as well. Service was stellar on both visits. Will be coming back here for that shrimp and grits next time! read more

Perfect place for brunch with some creative dishes. We ordered Southwest Scramble Bowl & Huevos Rancheros and cleaned our plates! Excellent service from Reysa! read more

Excellent find. The chicken and Waffle was awesome! Stopped when we got off the plane and before we got back on! read more

Service was great, restaurant was clean. Food was extremely bland. Cheese grits, weren't cheesy. It was grits, with a layer of cooked cheese on top. The cheese didn't melt into the cheesy grits we all know and love. There was 0 salt in the grits and hashbrowns. No one at the table finished their food. Maybe it was a bad day, but will not be returning. read more

We happened upon the Metro Diner while looking for a place to have breakfast near the airport before our departing flight from Savannah. We were quoted a 35-minute wait, and kudos to our friendly hostess for being pretty much spot on. Once seated, we were greeted fairly promptly by the soft-spoken, but very much on top of her game, Tranese. While waiting we read through the reviews so I knew to get a half-order of the fried chicken and waffles, but Tranese offered the option of chicken tenders, which I took - and I'm so glad I did! They were indeed tender, and also flavorful and juicy - these were definitely not fast food, although our order was delivered quickly, accurately and hot. Also - two words - strawberry butter...Yes Please! My son chose the steak, egg, and hash-brown bowl substituting sausage gravy for the hollandaise. He devoured it. My husband ordered the Bissell Breakfast - so much food! He kept saying it was too much, but he "forced himself" to eat nearly every bite. His quote, "They know how to cook eggs!" I don't know if it was the food, or the service we enjoyed more, but it was certainly a dynamic combo. I took off one star because of the really poor job done by the bus boy before we were seated. We watched him wipe down the table, and he was inefficient and clearly/likely inexperienced. I think he left more food on the table and seats when he wiped up (or more accurately when he pushed the food around with a wet cloth), so I ended up cleaning behind him after we sat down. Our table was also not wiped with the sanitizing spray like the others...thankfully I carry my own wipes. Please do better going forward on this point, in these times. All in all though, an excellent and affordable meal in an unpretentious, warm, and friendly restaurant. read more

The Metro Diner is seriously some of the best comfort food I've ever had... and as a huge foodie, that's saying a lot. The decor is sleek and clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly, helpful, and you can see they love their job. Everyone is smiling even though they're running around because it's crazy busy. Our server, Danielle, recommended items, got everything spot on, and was fun to talk to, as well. She took care of us so well, making sure we had what we needed. The food....oh man....sure, you want a nice environment with a staff that will treat you right, but the food is what makes or breaks it and the food here is nothing short of phenomenal. Seriously...it's hearty, satisfying, and the portions are outrageous. Something to consider is to half something so it doesn't go to waste. We sat at the counter once and I have to say the kitchen staff is a well-oiled machine. They work so well together in their ballet of plating, cooking, and serving it was absolutely amazing to watch. Now, for some recommendations... I don't think you can really go wrong with anything on this menu. There are a lot of selections for sandwiches, salads, breakfast items, omelets, and fancier dishes like pastas and steaks. I can't wait to try everything on this menu because the food is that good. We've had the Ruben sandwich which was juicy and tender and not drowned with condiments. The chicken and waffle platter is enough to feed a small town as you get a half a chicken and four triangles of Belgian waffle with a healthy scoop of strawberry butter on top. I'm a bit of a fried chicken snob and I have to say the folks in the kitchen hit this right out of the ballpark. The chicken was cooked perfectly, it wasn't greasy at all, and the crust was some of the best I've ever had. The waffle was fluffy and delicious, but that strawberry butter just made the day. Our server, Danielle, mixed some syrup and hot sauce together for us to dip the chicken into and it was an amazing accoutrement to the meal. I have to say we like to eat our burgers and we will definitely be trying every one on the menu. Our son had the breakfast burger which consisted of a patty , bacon, hash browns, and a fried egg over easy. When he bit into the egg and the yolk oozed out over the burger it was like a flood of yumminess coating the entire meal. My husband had the Philly cheesesteak and said it was one of the best ones he'd ever had. The fries that accompanied it were crisp and well done not greasy at all or flimsy. The sandwich could have stood a little bit more seasoning, but we took care of that so no problem. I ordered the Bissell breakfast and boy if I had socks on, they would have been knocked off. Here, I thought I ordered this casual brunch of a couple of eggs , some hash browns, toast, and bacon, but imagine my surprise when enough food came out for three people. The eggs took up a third of the plate and the hash browns took up at least half. I had my eggs scrambled and they were creamy and delicious. The hash browns were about an inch thick with crispy on the outside tender on the inside potatoes and a layer of cheddar cheese. The bacon was crispy.. a little greasy... but nothing my napkin couldn't take care of. I seriously ate until I wanted to pop and it didn't look like I'd put a dent in the food. Danielle very happily brought us to go boxes and we will just enjoy the food all over again tonight. Oh, did I mention that I got pancakes with my Bissell breakfast as well? A short stack to me means two or three pancakes that are maybe two inches in diameter, but I was wrong again. I got a plate with about a 6 inch diameter pancake on top of another one. They were fluffy and a little crispy on the edges and buttery sweet with the addition of the syrup. The pancakes weren't the best I've ever eaten, but they were damn close. I just don't usually rave so much about a chain restaurant like this, but these guys know what they're doing and they know good food. Highly recommend the place and if you find yourself having to wait in line too long head to the counter and watch the staff work as you eat. It's a great place and worth the drive, about 20 minutes round trip for us, and you will leave there full and happy without breaking the bank. And, as you're walking out the door, be sure to grab one of the absolutely delicious tropical fruit mints they have at the hostess stand. Great job to the staff and management and the fabulous cooks in the kitchen. You will see us often and we will be your regulars. read more

What a great lunch spot off the highway. I'd eaten at the Fort Lauderdale location, but this was my first time here. The service was great- my waitress was so sweet and she had great attention to detail. All the food came out just as we ordered. I could decide between breakfast or hamburger so my boyfriend and I split a hamburger and eggs Benedict! read more

The staff was super nice and friendly and to my surprise they were sitting people close to closing time. ( Please don't go in during closing time to eat that's just rude). Now that fried seafood dinner I would not recommend. It was sooo much breading and greasy I just pulled it and ate the meat out of it. read more

I've eaten at Metro Diner a lot. I've been to the majority of the ones located in the Jacksonville area. All of them served delicious hot food. However, the one in Pooler, GA has been lack luster to say the least the hosting staff and manager were not as friendly as I had hoped for. we waited the hour to get into this place and in return had a disagreement with management. Although the efforts to seat us were made, the hostess had an attitude and sprayed us with the cleaner while she barely wiped the table down. The service via Meredith was definitely a turn around point after we were somehow deleted off the wait list. Although I do love The Metro Diner, I will not be returning to this location. The food was great read more

Metro Diner - Fried Chicken and Waffle Breakfast - Diners Near Me - Pooler, Georgia

The rumor mill says that once you enter the restaurant you feel like home, and I couldn't agree more. All the staff were friendly and they worked well together. You can tell that they like to be there, which enhances the welcoming atmosphere. This was my first time eating at Metro so I HAD to have the famous chicken and waffles. The meal did not disappoint. The chicken was seasoned well and the waffle was the right texture. When I told my server that it was my first time, she told me to dip the chicken in the hot sauce/ syrup mix. WOW! Great environment, great food, and big portions. I'll be back! read more

I was here again for lunch on 8/16 and once more, the service and food was wonderful. Our waitress, Kayla, was excellent. Even being short-staffed, she gave us great service and continued to treat every table like they were her only table. She was sweet and very helpful. It was a terrific experience! read more

This place is simply incredible! They deliver each time I've been to one and I've never been to the same Metro Diner twice! I love this brand and their service and their food is just delicious! They are quick and their food is so great! The servers take your order with mini iPads and so they take it right there and submit it right then and so it's all correct! Love this place and I'll be back very very soon! read more

Great place. Food very high quality most the time. Every now and then there's a hiccup. Pilar is the best waitress there. Superlative service! One of my go to places. Word of warning use the website to get on the waitlist during busy times. Sometimes the wait can run over an hour. Enjoy! read more

A really good breakfast place. The western omlette was excellent. But they get crowded on weekend mornings, and you have to wait outside/in your car. read more

We have visited this location in the past and it was awesome so we tried it again... Still awesome! I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

We stopped here on our way to Hilton Head from the Savannah airport. Fabulous meatloaf, grilled cheese, hash browns and biscuits. Highly recommend for a filling and flavorful meal. Kids enjoyed croissant French toast, pancakes and a burger. Not 5 stars because the food came out VERY staggered and the last things out (by 4-5 minutes) were grilled cheese sandwiches. read more

Great Americana food in large portions, the staff was friendly just a little slow on getting the food out but in their defense it was very busy at the time. read more

This place is fantastic. Friendly staff. The food is very good, and they have a nice variety. And the wait time is never long.

Great place to have breakfast. Eggs Benedict is a favorite. Service is usually good just be prepared for longer wait times on the weekend. Metro is a diner with an open eating area so it can get noisy. Family friendly. read more

Pretty nice spot after a day of Tanger shopping! The weather was just the right amount of warmth and chill. Great brunch spot. Menu has a wide variety for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mimosa special $2.99 for the whole day! (Easter) would recommend to anyone. read more

The chicken and waffles are the best in town! Service could use a little work, they aren't the friendliest.

Great family-oriented restaurant. Good food and great service. My grandkids love the chicken and waffles!

The food taste good and the service was great also I would recommend it give it try you might like it

I always come here and every time I've come I never had an issue. Food was just right. I also order DoorDash family meals and never had an issue. Everything from the fried chicken, meatloaf waffle breakfast turkey salads are good and seasoned just right. read more

Quite enjoy my dining experiences here. The staff is excellent and always willing to help. They have a large staff on Sunday's prepping for the Sunday post church rush.

Good diner food. They are exactly what the advertise. Service is good. No real complaints

This location in Savannah, GA is an extension of its original location, or at least that's what the menu states. Went here for breakfast before a flight back to California, and oh my! Never seen a menu quite like this. They call it comfort food with a flair, I call pretty dang good. I settled on the Yo Hala on the Square, my wife settled on the Chicken & Waffles. The Yo Hala is chala bread stuffed with bananas, creM cheese, and other goodness and then topped with a warm fresh fruit compote. The bread was light and fluffy, and the filling and compote were good, no need for syrup. Wife enjoyed her chicken & waffles but thought the Chicken was a tad too salty. I had a bite of it and thought it was good. A word of advice: COME HUNGRY. Neither of us finished our meal. Our server joked they don't believe in "Go big or go home" they believe in "Go home big." read more

Very good service, pleasant staff, good food, fair prices. They accommodated 16 walk-ins with no problem and service with a smile.

My honey took me to breakfast yesterday morning. This restaurant is located in the Tanger Outlets, so there is plenty of parking. When we arrived, we were told to chose to sit anywhere. We chose a booth and I just want to point out how uncomfortable the seats were. It felt as though I was sitting on no cushion, just wood. Anyway, we proceeded to order hot tea to drink. He got the chai and I got the tangerine ginger. Both were good. For our meals, he ordered the chicken and waffles, and I had the crab cake Benedict. The chicken and waffle portion was huge. You get half a chicken with a large Belgian waffle. You can get it as is, or you can choose light meat or dark meat. He really enjoyed it, but couldn't finish it because it was so much. I actually half of his waffle, which was really good, especially with the strawberry butter. My Benedict was also pretty good. The hollandaise was perfect and tasted amazing. My eggs were poached perfectly as well. My only complaint is that my English muffins could have been a little more toasted. It came with a side of hash browns, which were good. The service was good, the waitress was quite attentive. They did appear to be quite busy around 8:15 am so I'm happy the service did not lack. Overall, we will be coming back whenever we are too lazy to make our own breakfast. Metro Diner is a win! read more

Went n had Eggs Benedict. It was very good although eggs weren't a runny as I expected. The waitress was very pleasant n smiled a lot. The one thing that horrified me was I noticed a heavy set blond haired girl who was standing against the station wall towards the back. She had her hand scratching her bare stomach. Very unappetizing n I certainly didn't want to c that. I just hope she's not a server. Being a senior heavy set woman myself I don't think it's appropriate to have a bare midriff n be scratching ur stomach for all to c. This needs to be addressed. read more

Let me start by saying this food is AMAZING. My husband had chicken and waffles and the strawberry butter was icing on the cake. The waffle also had the best hot sauce/syrup mix. It has a little kick to it. You can ask for dark meat, white meat or a mixture. I had the croissant French toast plate. On the menu it is just the French toast(4 slices), but you can ask for the breakfast and get 2 slices of French toast, sausage, eggs, meat, toast and a side. The price was not bad at all, and it came with a ton of food! Their hospitality was amazing. Our waitress constantly checked on us, and the manager even stopped by to see how we were doing. I recommend you try this place 100%, if you are in town. The food and service was bomb! Thanks guys :) read more

Found Metro Diner through Yelp. And my family and I were not disappointed. Portions were super generous, excellent menu variety, and everything was DELICIOUS !! I had the huevos rancheros, and let me tell you, it has been THE BEST huevos rancheros I have ever had. My son had Chicken & Waffles, my husband had the Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict, and my daughter had the avocado toasts.Everyone was more than happy with their choice. Sarah was our waitress and gave us a super friendly service. Before going back home, we will certainly go back to have some more. Keep up the great work, Metro Diner !!!! read more

This is my go-to brunch spot for whenever friends and/or family visit. Huge portions, reasonable prices, and friendly service. I've never had a bad experience here with either the food or the waitstaff and always leave with a full belly! I've had breakfast/brunch/lunch options and everything has been delectable. Their yo challa dish is good but extremely rich. You only need a few bites to satisfy your sweetness craving. We split one between six people and it was plenty! The only reason why I knocked down a star is that their mimosas are more orange juice than sparkling wine (a splash, really). Mimosa ratio should be: 75% sparkling wine/champagne to 25% OJ. Or else why order a mimosa in the first place and just get plain ol' orange juice instead, for a cheaper price. read more
