    Whatttt, died and went to waffle and chicken heaven. Wonder café found in tbe midst of glove trotting we found this small intimate breakfast spot. The food the service was exceptional. Do not tell mama or grandmother about the chicken...Definitely will create a problem.

    Very fast service. Our food came out in around 5 minutes. They are known for their fried chicken it seems and we weren't disappointed. We had the chicken & waffles, the fried chicken benedict, teriyaki wings, rib plate, and croissant french toast. The chicken and waffles were obviously good. Probably the best that I have tried in the area so far. The chicken is very well seasoned and juicy except for the breast, which was a bit dry but is common for that part of chicken. The crust was very crunchy and tasted delicious with the syrup. The strawberry butter was fragrant and light. The waffles were crispy and toasted nicely with standard waffle flavors. I really liked the dish overall. The rib plate was alright. I'm not sure if they bread or do something with the ribs but it wasn't like a baby back rib dish. It was okay and the sauce was pretty average for that type of dish. The croissant french toast was great too. Very very buttery and delicious. The egginess of both the french toast and croissant made the dish taste so good to me. This was definitely my second favorite dish. Our waiter was fast and very helpful. Pretty standard dining atmosphere, typical for a diner but a little more updated than others. If you dont want to wait on weekends, book a reservation because it can get busy. We waited about 20 minutes for a table.

    Love Metro! We've gone to other locations but this is the best one thus far. It was spacious and not super crowded, the food came out quickly, and our server was amazing! She even put us on game to secret menu option ;) Will definitely be back to MD HV.

    Chicken fried in old oil, no flavor

    Soooo....you ALL know that I am a fan of Metro Diner (MD), Suffolk, VA! This review will NOT stop me from going. But I'm a little disappointed. Typically, MD is consistent and I have no issues. Today was my first day ordering takeout and I'm so disappointed. I ordered online at about 2:40p and called at 2:51pm with a request to hold the powdered sugar for the waffles & place it on the side (with carry out orders it will melt). But no one answered until the third call and it was too late. I was told that it had already been added. Also, one of my sides was missing. Since we are not dining in, it's important to get orders correct. No I didn't call about my missing item because I was just done and disappointed. But like I said, this is my fourth or fifth time here so I will give them a pass. I'm writing this to show them that we still care and I want them to rise above the rest and be the best. It's hard work but it pays off. A few tips: 1. Put powdered sugar in a side container and place in the condiment bag. NOT with the waffle as it will melt. 2. Treat external guests the same as dining in guests. That's all I'm going to say. If I say more everyone will know who the person is and I really like the person. I'm presuming that they had a bad day (which we all have). But it's ok to take a break and start over. 3. Please change the chicken oil. I LOVE MD's chicken but the take out was horrible! I was so disappointed. You can immediately smell that the oil was old and my checking was fried terribly hard. I hope our upcoming visit will be better.

    I love their chicken and waffles. I haven't had it in a while and craved it. I ordered via Door Dash and the chicken was cooked in old oil. You can see by the pictures and the smell confirmed it. Do better! Change the oil! I called and I will get a free entree the next time I come. But I am not confident it will be good compared to when they first opened. Very disappointing.

    Hashbrowns, sunny side up eggs, and bacon that came with my croissant French toast.

    This was our time at this location, however, we have been to Metro Diner in Florida and we have always had a fantastic experience. We visited this location on a Monday morning. There was no wait to be seated. The restaurant appeared clean and was very inviting. Our waitress, Taylor, came to our table promptly to take her drink orders. She was pleasant and personable and very friendly. My husband loves chicken and waffles and that is what he ordered. The chicken was so crispy I could hear it. I ordered the croissant French toast. It was very good. If you are going through this part of town and are looking for a very good breakfast, you definitely need to check them out!

    Love they support our troops!

    So glad we chose to go here! Everything was great! We sat on the patio and it was really nice. There were ducks that came right near our table which was neat. Our waitress was great. She took good care of us and gave great recommendations. My hamburger was one of the best I've had. Super juicy and lots of flavor. The fries were ok-could've been better. My friend had the eggs Benedict and loved it. Great presentation and a lot of food! It's about 35-40 minutes away, but if I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely go back!

    Probably the best breakfast place in Hampton Roads. Service is so friendly. And the food is really good.

However, yesterday was a little blah due to the assumption that I was going to receive fresh cut fries with my burger I ordered but it wasn't until after the fact that I asked the waitress what's up and she was advised that she was just advised that the Cook or Chef were serving the happy hour fries during Restaurant Week such a bummer. If this was known before ordering I would have not ordered this. I ordered off the regular menu but received happy hour fries instead of fresh cut fries definitely no comparison so this definitely had a brow raised for me. Oh well, my Bestest, this was her first time dining in last night and she had a good time. She ate all her food as she participated in ordering off the Restaurant Week menu and also had two white Cosmos. She definitely enjoyed everything! Our waitress Bailey was awesome as well Cute girl! Nice nails! Very mannerable, a pleasure to have as our waitress! Parking wasn't an issue however we did drive around a few minutes to look for parking. I loved my the fresh margarita! I ordered 2.

Coffees, teas seasonal drinks, sandwiches and pastries. My husband and I were taking a quick break from. Hopping and decided on drinks and a pastry. We ordered the grinch matcha latte, a gingerbread latte and a spinach feta pastry. Omg both of us loved the grinch. I've been searching for a matcha I could enjoy and this is it! All the right notes: not too sweet, creamy and the matcha well blended in the milk-think no grainy residue at the end. If I'm in the matcha mood I'm coming to get this. The grinch was so good I think it made the gingerbread latte less exciting but it was still delicious! The expresso was strong so for a non Coffee drinker like me it wasn't my favorite but my husband thought it was great. The pastry came out hot and was delicious. Everything came out fairly fast so even with the crowd we were there less than 30 minutes. I want to come back and try more drinks and a salad that seems up my alley. Please check out this locals establishment. You won't be disappointed!!
