Breakfast burger
Ashley M.

Service was very fast and friendly. We loved that they were serving everything at breakfast time - because sometimes you want lunch at 0800. Prices were good and portions were large. Great place to stop by!

Chicken Biscuit
Daniela D.

Very much just breakfast. I believe it was cheap so I guess in that case it was worth it (went for a quick birthday breakfast so I didn't pay but was told it was rather inexpensive + we had a coupon). Food was good and tasty, just wasn't anything to write home about. I had high expectations seeing Guy Fieri's picture on the wall. Very classic diner vibe, nothing special about the interior. Had ample seating. Place was kept clean and service was friendly and fast. I'd say it's a place I wouldn't be opposed to going again but I probably wouldn't seek it out. 6.5/10

Sheri B.

Hometown feel, with delicious comfort food. Breakfast lunch and dinner never disappoint. Their cinnamon roll pancakes are to die for. Met the staff at the Yelp event tonight and they were so nice. Passing out a little mashed potatoes and meatloaf! Yes please!

Chicken Caesar salad

Caesar salad was delish. Great food and great service. Awesome atmosphere and location

Fried Chicken Sandwich- super big and sooo delicious! Some places it comes out dry being this big but 10/10 it was so juicy & flavorful
Callie K.

The food was super good- came out like it had just finished too! Service was wonderful! They came and checked on us, kept our drinks filled, and were very friendly! Was not packed by any means even during lunch once when I went. I would recommend this place to anyone! The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing . Definitely a cute place for any type of meal!

Fish & Chips

Okay, now I am surprised myself I am giving Metro Diner 2 stars. The first time hubby and I ate at a Metro Diner was about 7 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida. We ate breakfast there and really enjoyed our meal, our Grandkids were with us and they enjoyed it as well. This time the food was wayyyy too salty! I mean salty. My son and I ordered the fish and fries. Way to much salt in the seasoning. I tried my granddaughter's chicken fingers and they also was seasoned with too much salt. I tried my daughter-in-law avocado toast. I grew up eating avocado, a lot. The avocado on the toast did not taste like fresh avocado, tasted like it had some type of preserve on it, did not taste good at all. So sadly to say the two stars was for our waitress, in spite of the food she did a good job.

My favorite!

My coworkes and I enjoy going to Metro Diner after a long beach workout. Thinking of the chicken and waffles provides the needed motivation to push through the workout. The service is fast and friendly. Our large group of between 8-12 is always seated quickly. Even though this is a chain restaurant it has a home town feel. No one has ever complained about their order we usually leave pleasantly full. I love the chicken and waffles and order it every visit. If it's not broke no since changing my order.

Sharing is caring hop on over and grab an appetizer
AJ S.

We've been here before and the food comes out plated so well and hot! The service has always been good with each time coming they've been very attentive to o what we need. The restaurant gives the feeling of being back in the day at a mom and pop place. The T-shirts the staff wears is pretty cool and funny! Its family style seating, booths and tables plenty of room for get togethers for brunch. Be sure to check out the mimosas!.

Cole slaw fries and shrimp.

Stepping into The Library... you're immediately enveloped in a unique atmosphere reminiscent of a…read moremodern library that was decorated in the old style with books lining the shelves. This place demands attention from the moment you walk in. My wife opted for eggs and bacon, while I went for the cheeseburger. We also shared a French toast, which proved to be the standout dish. It's important to note that this was a shared experience, as we barely managed to finish our portion. The menu offers a brunch selection that's worth exploring. Be prepared to savor every bite, as the food quality here is commendable. Service and flow are both excellent , ensuring a pleasant dining experience. While the ambiance is a highlight, it's the food that truly shines. I'm planning to return for another visit. RATINGS & LOGISTICS: - Atmosphere: 10/10 - Food Quality: 9/10 - Service/Flow: 9/10 - Value: 7/10 - Would Return: Yes. Coming back.

Great experience with a twist!…read more Food 8.0 Vibe 8.9 Service 8.7 Overall 8.4 This place definitely has his own theme and vibe and it sticks to it. A straightforward menu gives a decent variety and the chef delivered on the flavor. We had the egg Benedict the Gudda grits, and the (not so) French toast. Overall, the food was delicious, but I was extremely disappointed with the "French toast" for some reason, the chef opted for not doing an egg/milk bath for their French toast, which to me is a grave mistake, who wants to dry French toast? This liberty could be excused, and tolerable for the sake of creativity and innovation, IF it was openly, shared on the menu, or by the server. However, this came to a COMPLETE surprise to me AFTER ordering and receiving it. I've never had DRY French toast, nor do I ever wish to again despite the tasty toppings and well executed cinnamon butter cream, it was still not an enjoyable experience, especially if you're expecting classic French toast. That said the eggs Benedict was phenomenal. The pork is perfectly cooked. The biscuits are light and fluffy. And the sauce was immaculate. The Gudda grits surprise me while not being creamy in the same way of grit, I've had in the past, these retained their grit structure, but it kind of melted in your mouth, providing that creamy texture and they add chopped bacon and a sweet I would guess type of reduction in just the right amount to balance the flavor of the Gudda. I do wish they had sausage and hash browns. But it's not that kind of place. My last complaint would be in the potatoes that come with the Benedict. Whatever other option, they have picked those get anything, but those ours came undercooked, and they refried them for us, and they still were just below average which for a place like this. I expected more. Overall, not a bad place. The coffee was phenomenal. I had a dirty Matcha, and it was perfectly executed. Prices aren't terrible for what you'd expect from downtown St Pete at a fancy place, so I was happy. Service was good and friendly. After I expressed my dissatisfaction with the French toast, the manager came over and offered his apologies and remove the item from my bill, even offered to bring us something else, and to have a beverage to go to make up for it. However, I was at the end of our mail and I was ready to get going with the rest of my day, so I said thank you and we departed. Overall, I will not come back for French toast but that eggs Benedict. I would definitely come back and try something else as well. Give it a shot. Just DONT get the French toast. If you like normal French toast.

This was my first trip to Allelo, a Mediterranean-Aegean restaurant…read more I was in town for business and arrived solo. I was greeted by Carolina, a very confident and friendly hostess. I told her I wanted to sit outside so I could have dinner and read a book with a glass of wine. She told me it would be about 20 minutes and suggested I go to the bar. Once inside, I was greeted by Corey, who entertained me with a vibrant wine list and a quick tasting before selecting a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. As my wine was being poured in a delightfully elegant wine glass... Carolina told me my table was ready. They put me in the perfect spot for people watching. My server was Rachel, who shared the night's special offerings with great aplomb. I am not usually a Wagyu person, but I thought why not, yolo. I paired it with the cauliflower. But to kick things off,..I did the focaccia. The meal was so superb. I immediately texted a friend of mine and said we had to come back the following evening. Again with the Wagyu and the focaccia. Sue me, I'm a glutton for delight. My friend had the seafood linguine.... Which in keeping with the theme was exemplary. Our server for night two was Kyle... Who anticipated I ever need. We had a variety of martinis and ended the evening with a fancy coffee that included a rock sugar spoon. This is my new go to when I visit St. Petersburg. And did I mention Rachel gave me an awesome book recommendation? Thanks girl! If you're looking for somewhere really cool to go for curated cocktails, and exceptional food...This is the place.

Restaurant in downtown St Petersburg great location lots of energy great service indoor and outdoor…read moretables and a nice bar. Now let's talk about the food: It was not all fantastic. The appetizers: Tuna tartare was nothing special it also didn't come with any bread or chip just plop on the plate. The goat cheese appetizer special was a small circle with oily crusted bread. One main course was 1/2 rack of lamb cooked perfectly and nice portion, Za'atar cauliflower nice portion didn't taste like Za'atar. Pasta dish had to add black pepper was ok. I must say the cucumber vodka soda spritzer was super refreshing!! The service was great, atmosphere, they really tried but must of had an off kitchen night. We were also disappointed items on the website were not available.

I asked for the manager and all he said was I was the first to ask why and suggested I eat somewhere else. Do not support a business like this. The owners response to this review is a flat out lie. I did not ask for brand name artificial sweetener but only a non sugar sweetener due to diabetes. Furthermore, I did not speak to any managers and I was not rude to the server but did ask her for the manager when she had no answer. Then the owner came up and was very rude and said I should eat somewhere else. It makes sense he would lie now as I am sure he knows it's ridiculous to not have sugar substitutes and to be rude and ask the customer to leave.
