    Meat Lovers Omelet and HASHBROWNS with ketchup
    Liz M.

    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!

    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.

    Chicken comes out dark, tough and overly chewy.

    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.

    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.

    Fried chicken platter

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Shrimp and grits
    Steven C.

    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.

    I ordered the meat lovers scramble bowl. My hash browns taste like someone just put them under the meat and cheese and let it cook. The hash browns aren't crunchy and very white.

    The Bissell Breakfast
    Michelle L.

    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,

    My friend and I went to The Toasted Yolk on the recommendation of my sister-in-law. We went on a…read morevery busy Sunday morning! The parking lot was so full! But we did not let that deter us and we went in and used the electronic device to get us on a waiting list. We were told 15 minutes, but we waited no more than 10. I am going to take into consideration the massive crowd, and say that our food and drink came in very reasonable time considering. We were not in a hurry, and kind of enjoy the bustle and the people. Our waitress was exceedingly friendly, very helpful and very accommodating. My friend and I each got a fancy Sunday brunch cocktail. Mine was strawberry, and it was delicious. She loved hers as well, she got the grapefruit one. They were lovely to look at and delicious and refreshing. A very fun way to start our Sunday morning. We both ordered the California club sandwich and I asked for gluten-free bread. The sandwich was delicious and the gluten-free bread was good. If you know about gluten-free bread and the heartache of searching for a decent slice, then you'll appreciate this bread on your sandwich. I got french fries which seems I have to order every single time even as I contemplate the healthier side choices. They were great, hot, fresh, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My friend got a side salad which she was happy with, obviously far more willpower than I have. She was not happy with the dressing she had chosen and the waitress happily brought her a different one. While we were there, I noticed everybody was working so hard and the customers all around us seem to be very much enjoying themselves. I don't know if this should really be relevant in my review but there was a group of four people who were sat down in a table nearby who upon being seated asked the waitress immediately if they could get their food quickly and she told them that it probably would not be as fast as they would like it. At which point they got up and left. The waitress seemed to feel bad about that, but when the manager came over to investigate, he simply took it in stride and then started to clean the table off for the next group. My friend and I had to wonder who would come into such a bustling and packed restaurant and think that they were going to get served especially fast. Another thing about we noticed about the manager is that he seemed very much hands-on and all over the place in the restaurant. He was very friendly when we looked at the check-in device and wondered what we were doing ~ he made jokes that made us feel less Luddite like. He bussed tables and sat people, and checked on things, and generally looked like the kind of manager of that Gordon Ramsay would appreciate. The menu has something for everybody! And some very exciting options that we have to go back and experience. Lots of add-ons for everything, a huge variety of choices. My sister-in-law had recommended the avocado toast, and I was tempted. I was also tempted by the biscuit and gravy and the eggs Benedict, which are hard for me to resist at brunch. but I reasonably only ordered one meal for me. It's been a long review, but I have to say the meal really was that good and the whole experience was very enjoyable. Not only will I be going back but, I will be recommending it, wholeheartedly, to everybody. Thanks for a great meal!

    What a great place! Close by Savannah Hilton Head International Airport. Place is huge! That warm…read moresouthern hospitality people talk about is the real deal here. From being greeted to our delightfully cheery & attentive waitress, the service is stellar. Plenty of booths and tables, there are different rooms throughout the place. Plenty of Breakfast & lunch options. Amazing coffee, but no real cream. You get the little international delight containers. I am not a fan. I like it in little pitcher to pour in. Food came fast! I only gave 4 stars because it was clear my sides got plated long before my eggs. Eggs were piping hot. My hashbrown casserole was barely warm. I didn't say anything because we were in rush to hit the road for a long ride home, but they were delicious. I wish i could remember our server's name, because she was pure sunshine & gushing with southern charm. Place is great. Strong choice for breakfast.
