    Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans.
    Dawn M.

    I went around 3 this afternoon after I got my nails done on 210. Staff was very nice and told me to sit anywhere unlike the older one on Baymeadows which is very busy. I was feeling like having meatloaf since it is difficult to cook at home with my BIL who can only have a very terribly restricted diet. He is currently on a water fast. The meatloaf was two large slices and more than I could eat. I couldn't take it home so I just buried it in dinner napkins. I did try the strawberry dessert after searching for pie since other than my BIL everyone else is on a Keto diet. It was served warm and covered with strawberries and sprinkles. I couldn't eat all of that either so it must be sized to share.

    Signature meatloaf

    Metro does not disappoint. We stopped in towards the end of the lunch hour. We were told about a 15 minute wait but it was only about 10 minutes before we were seated. Coffee was a must on this cold day. We placed our orders after reviewing and deciding between many great options. I got the meatloaf and my wife got the ruben. Both were great. Great food and good service.

    Great new location and consistent local charm. Welcome to the neighborhood, Metro! The folks here are enthusiastic and ready to please. Can't go wrong with standard diner fare. Food was good and service even better. :)

    Breakfast with rolled cinnamon pecan pancakes
    Robert M.

    Today was day one at this new diner to the public. They certainly had a lot of people there with big smiles on their face. I really enjoyed my breakfast, which was a couple eggs with sausage, grits, and the rolled cinnamon pecan pancakes, which were really good. I was told Metro diner was a great place to eat but a little pricey. I'm a person that hits all the breakfast places in the area and I found the prices to be just fine. 3.59 for the coffee maybe was a little much but then again you could drink as much coffee as you want so then it becomes a great bargain. They went from two pieces of toast to one, if you got a carb side item like the pancakes (which were great) . The problem I have with that is, I had two eggs and I wanted two pieces of toast. I enjoyed my visit, my waitress Bianca, who is from Connecticut like myself, had a great conversation of what we missed there and how much we love it here in Saint Augustine. I will definitely be coming here again. The experience overall, including price was great. I enjoyed the cinnamon/pecan pancakes. But to be fair, I would eat rusted bolts if they were dipped in cinnamon and pecan. On my second visit I tried their special of corn beef hash which was good also and not greasing, or salty alike many others. Another thing I like is , easy in easy out in such a busy area.

    I decided to give this place a shot while free for lunch one day and was pleasantly surprised. This…read morehas been my favorite restaurant of 2026 so far from the quality ingredients making up the food to the superb service offered by the staff. I got here as they opened on Sunday, and it got packed relatively quickly. I'd recommend having a reservation if you're planning to visit during busier timeframes like this. I was seated promptly by attentive staff, and quickly had both food and drink menus to begin ordering. I was looking for something tasty without being too heavy, and settled on the Little Hans Vienna Lager along with the 8 oz steak burger and fries. The beer had amazing flavor similar to Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager with a good, crisp finish. The burger meal, described with "Tillamook cheddar cheese, caramelized onion & bacon jam, beef fat aioli, grilled potato roll, truffle fries", was arguablely the best burger and fries I've ever had in my life. Everything tasted fresh, and the flavor of the wood-fired grill certainly complemented the meat. The house-made pickles were a great touch to add another layer of complexity to the burger. I could tell the fries were fresh cut and never frozen. The truffle oil made these even more amazing. The manager offered and brought a special sauce to try that they normally serve with their chicken chicken sandwich that was superbly tasty and tangy. More than impressed with my entree, I elected to try a desert and was recommended the S'mores pie by my waitress. The deliciously buttery crust was my favorite part of the ensemble and blended well with the savory chocolate filling topped with a toasted marshmallow. While a bit pricey for lunch compared to most places, I was more than satisfied with the offerings provided here and would love to visit Ember and Iron again. Give my number one choice of 2026 thus far some love!

I ordered the rib eye medium. The rib eye was mostly fat. I expect some with this cut but it was too much. The side for both dishes were very good. We ordered the corn bread in cast iron and it was excellent. I hate giving bad reviews but I have to this time. We won't complain during the meal either. I apologize for this review but going out a meal is special and we expected more.

You are able to mix and match them so we went with Coors Light and Miller Light. Good news they are 16oz cans so that makes it a little better and what can you expect when drinking at the club house. We were not planning to get food but I saw that the food special was a French Dip which is my go-to plus for $15 that pretty good. For my side I kept it basic with fries but they had a number of options. Our food came out pretty quick and it for sure hit the spot. It could have maybe used more meat and it was a little tough but still pretty good. I will say the fries were great. Double battered goodness, the best of fries! Could have eaten them all day and they don't need ketchup either. For sure a nice spot to get some food or drinks before or after golf.

The fries are crispy, and there is plenty of sour cream to dip your quesadilla in. The service can be slower at times, but the servers are friendly and make you feel at home.

I like that the restaurant is tucked away and partially hidden so it seems like it is for the locals only and makes it not crowded.

It's a typical sports bar type of a vibe and I believe they do drink specials while games are on and if a certain team scores, etc. The people are always friendly and nice. We sit at the bar area and we're usually greeted right away. One of our favorite things on the menu was the blackened mahi wrap they removed that on their new menu, but we went in there and we were able to get it ordered because they still have whitefish it might've been grouper, but I didn't care. I find that there is inconsistencies with the kitchen. Sometimes we would get the wrap and it would be perfect other times there was hardly any fish and it was mostly lettuce and others it was lacking the other things such as the salsa and the cheese, etc. They have a great taco happy hour. Everything is 4 to 6 dollars from 4 to 6 PM , and this is again sometimes they're amazing and sometimes they're just so so. Overall, for the pricing and the atmosphere and the location, especially for us is a good go to for us. I just wish they were more consistent with the kitchen. All of their well drinks on happy hour is five dollars so that's a good deal right there. Also, they have side orders of things like onion rings and french fries if you don't wanna do a whole basket of it, which is super helpful if you wanna grab a few tacos and just want a little bit of onion rings

There's a huge full service bar area and a spacious dining room for date night for two and large celebrations on their outside deck overlooking a lake brim full of turtles, fish, gators, birds and all kinds of native Florida wildlife set against views that capture all that's great about living in Northeast Florida. Really amazing! Our server, Susan, was outstanding! She's the one who makes the coleslaw whenever she's on schedule and it's absolutely delicious. I highly recommend. I went on Sunday with my family and we all got the special of about 20 shrimp anyway you like them cooked: fried, steamed or blackened for $16.99 (@ the time I'm writing this review). We all went for the fried shrimp dinner. I chose the fries as my other side and added the unlimited salad bar for just $2.99 more. The salad bar had everything I love about an AYCE salad buffet and it's definitely worth the add. 5-STARS for their classic ranch dressing! And the balsamic dressing, blue cheese dressing and French dressing was excellent, too. They offer a few others, but I didn't try them. I have to have ranch with my fries and I grabbed a bowl of it from the salad bar. I washed it all down with some of their classic Southern sweet tea and I was too full for the Key Lime Pie on special for the day. Next time... After our meal, we went out of the deck to feed the turtles, fish and other wildlife and snap some photos to share. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned and fried. The service was fast, friendly and professional. And the scenery was truly gorgeous. Yea, I'm probably going to celebrate my birthday here this year.
