I always come here and dine with Taylor. She's my favorite server here. I got the chicken & waffle with the fruity style ( per her suggestion) and I've been hooked since . If you're every there request Taylor D. She's great! read more

I love this wonderful diner! I have eaten there twice and both times were wonderful! Since fried chicken is my absolute favorite meat, I highly recommend Metro's fried chicken and waffles or the fried chicken meal. You definitely will not be disappointed! The servers on both occasions were very polite and made sure we had everything needed such as condiments, refills, etc. The porch area as well as the inside dining area were clean and the diner is following CDC guidelines. Metro Diner, please consider coming to the Snellville, Buford, or Lawrenceville areas of GA!!! read more

I really enjoy the Metro Diner. I have gone a few times and have never been disappointed. I've had breakfast and lunch and enjoyed it all. The wait staff and hostess are always friendly and very attentive. read more

2nd time we have tried breakfast there and had a problem. 1st time Avacodo toast, simple right? Avacodo came out all brownish, you just don't do that. 2nd time my food was warm , partners came out cold.. with many many breakfast places around, don't waste your time & $$. read more

10/10 everytime! Weekends are always super busy so be prepared to have a wait time to be seated for brunch. Mimosas are so cheap! The food is always so good. Definitely one of my favorite brunch spots. read more

Alright so I'm pretty excited that they opened up a Metro Diner down here. I've been to the one in Richmond and thoroughly enjoyed myself.. look 1 I've been here to eat breakfast a few times and enjoyed both experiences. I sat on the inside the first time and had the basic meal with just eggs bacon and grits. The service was good on both visits only thing I didn't like was the cover band music that they played. The second time I went I set up on the little patio which was small but very nice.. they don't allow you to smoke out there which was a bummer but it's definitely a nice addition. I'll definitely add this place to the list of local breakfast spots. read more

In a World of mediocre food, this place stands out. Our group tried breakfast and lunch dishe and it was all delish!!! Service was excellent as well. The place is vibrant and hopping. My only compliant was it was too much food. I'd like the option of small plates or half orders. I wanted to try one of the daily specials but I knew it would be way too much food. So instead I ordered the broccoli cheddar soup. I love broccoli soup but generally hate when they combine it with cheese as it ends up tasting like cheese sauce, overly cheesy and way too rich. This soup was divine. It tasted like broccoli, which is as it should be. It really wasn't at all soup like though. A bit too thick, but flavor was right on. I tried the burger and pancakes and avocado toast. All excellent. We will be back!! read more

Happy Father's Day to me, Surprise Surprise I could've made breakfast at home if I would've known!!.. My wife ordered breakfast for us and picked it up, she ordered biscuits and gravy and said to me she wasn't thrilled with it. ( she didn't get until full detail as to why but added she will never order from here again)!. I ordered the three egg breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs turkey sausage links wheat toast and home fries. Only to find out I was given a fried egg and shredded potatoes which they classify as home fries ( that's two different types of preparation of potatoes in my opinion anyway). Needless to say I will never order anything from here ever again, the food was tasteless and we were dissatisfied to the fullest!!... Let me add this was the first time eating from this establishment and I guarantee it will be my last!!.. read more

After a very long wait. We finally seated and ordered our meals. I ordered the brissell breakfast and most came as expected. The eggs was still running even though I ordered it well scrabbled with cheese. I gave the plate back to the waitress and she came back saying "the manager said he can't do anything since I already ate some of the food". What was I suppose to be doing with the food? I told them to keep the rest of the food. How do you give me raw food and refuse to at least replace that part. Although the order was addressed after I went inside to talk to the manager. They are a busy location based on the long wait but have no regards for customer need. I may have had my first and LAST visit. read more

Great breakfast place. Fresh and consistent quality. Service very good,as well. Worth the wait. read more

Had such a great experience we went two days in a row. Highlights: waffles, grits (these were OUTSTANDING), service. We ordered the chicken & waffles and the waffle breakfast which came with eggs, meat and grits. No complaints! On my first visit I ordered the chicken biscuit. The chicken was okay and the biscuit wasn't completely baked but the grits made up for it! Highly recommend. read more

Ok so I found this place of course via yelp and heard a lot of good things about it so me and babe decided to try t out... We got there and was greeted immediately and seated and in about another minute had the waitress come for drink orders and asked if we've been here before and told of about the specials of the day... One of the specials was salmon with andouille sausage and something else and I was like yasssss but then it said Brussels sprouts I said noooo.. I needed up getting the meatloaf dinner that came with Mach potatoes and gravy and mixed sautéed squash.. The only think I had to add was a hint of salt and it was slamming !!!! It was cooked to perfection and I was all for it !!! Babe ordered a chicken tender salad which was huge and basically a meal in itself , then he also got the Holy Davoli burger that looked like two grilled cheeses with bacon and tomatoes with the hamburger and a fried egg in between he said it was AMAZING !!!! I was slightly disappointed there wasn't any appetizers but eh makes you come back so I can try the breakfast to see what the hype is about for that!!!! read more

I went here on a whim because I saw they were doing half off for military for veterans day. I am so glad I did. We had to wait for about 10 or so minutes for our seats which was no problem at all. Once seated we got orders in and our food showed up quicker than I thought it would! They were well prepared for the veterans day crowd! Next time I'm in Suffolk and wanting some brunch, im going here read more

Food has been delicious both times I've gone.. Zero let down in quality, taste, and customer service.

I'll be frequenting this establishment for lunch! read more

Looked this diner up online to stop in from the highway traveling South. Their own website said there was no wait and pretty empty. Arrived and there was a 30 minute wait and it was full. The bar area and the back seating area was not in use. Misleading for sure. We didn't stay bc of the time it would take to be seated compared to the time they close on a Friday night. read more

This is not your typical diner if you come here expect big portions and exceptional quality food. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and was scared I could finish the plate, but after one bite knew it wouldn't be a problem. Hands down one of the best breakfasts I ever ate. I would also like to point out that this is the first time my picky eater kid did not complain and ate all his pancakes. I think the were so good they even distracted him from watching FortNite on YouTube. Like General MacArthur said I shall return read more

It had been a LOOONG LOOONG LOOONG TIME since I have been out. I FINALLY went and had a very early breakfast with my bestie at a favorite place of ours. We hadn't seen each other in FOREVER!! I give HIGH 5 ‍STARS KUDOS TO METRO DINER!! I will only go to places where they do complete facility control over thier 6 feet distance and mask mandate rules with thier staff as well as with thier customers and they enforce it and I will only go right when it opens cause this is when there are no people yet. I was sooo happy to finally get a meal that I didnt have to cook and clean up afterwards. I LOVE thier mimosas and eggs Benedict! It was nice to finally go out again (cautiously though) ! Thier staff was AMAZING AS ALWAYS! Friendly and clean! read more

I had lunch with two of my friends and I ordered the fish and chips. There is nothing special about the fish. Fries and coleslaw were good. One friend had the Western omelette which was very good. However, the amazing dish was the fried chicken. I had to wait five minutes only for a Friday lunch hour which is not bad. The service was good. read more

This place has an awesome atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The people are friendly and greet you with a smile. I had the breakfast platter and it was great. Came out in a reasonable amount of time and everything tasted great. They have a cool little bar top area that has a retro feel to it. Spacious and clean. Will definitely be back to try more items. They also offer military discount! read more

This place is GOLD!!!!! I love the open kitchen idea. The service was amazing. I had the Philly cheesesteak and fries and my wife had the tuna slad stuffed tomato with a side of loaded baked potato soup. Everything was fantastic. Love their menu and will be back. You absolutely cannot ignore this place! The only problem you'll have here is deciding what to eat! It all looks and smells fantastic. I can't wait to try their meatloaf. read more

Metro Diner - 3$ all day Bloody Mary - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

So I decided to try out this place called metro diner because I had heard mixed reviews. So I decided let me figure out and make my own decision! So I call in an order and I go and pick up my chicken and waffles. Chicken and waffles are fairly simple to make. Fry chicken, put waffle in the waffle maker. Boom. So I figure if that's what they're known for, it must be good! So I get home and I'm excited because I smell all the exciting aromas! I open my fried chicken and this is what I see. I don't know about you, but this chicken wasn't fried fresh. As someone who has cooked a lot of fried chicken, I can tell you this is chicken that was refried. I don't know if it was just this one time experience or because I placed the order Togo (even though I live 6 minutes away, 2 miles) but I will not be coming back. read more

Good spot & pretty fast ... some of everything for your palette ... waffles waffles galore... i love roast beef pot stew & shrimp & grits ... clean spot too read more

All I can say is WOW! Great customer service, Great staff, and even greater food. Now this is a place you will definitely want to return to. The staff is extremely nice and engaging. They even offer you recommendations. The Food is freshly prepared with Love. Also, the menu gives you options. The only reason this location did not get a 5 - Star rating from me is because their Biscuits and Gravy did NOT meet MY standards of Biscuits and Gravy. read more

So far so good. They sent me a really good coupon in the mail and I had to try it out. The staff here is very young. Taylor greeted me at the host stand, seated me, and was also my waitress. She was extremely friendly. From the looks of the staff interaction everyone gets along. There was a slight delay in taking my order due to side co worker conversations but I think that is normal with such a young staff. I don't like their silverware. As with most restaurants the quick wash cycle doesn't get the stuck on food off. I opted for plastic ware instead. I ordered a breakfast meal (my favorite of the day) and it came out pretty fast and looked delicious. My food was really good. The cheesest grits were over rated. But the French toast were amazing. I would definitely come back. Home fries were seasoned well and the eggs tasted fresh. I give it a 4/5 with a need for minor improvements. read more

Food is great. Hostess not so much. I was here at 11am , 5/7/23 if management cares. There were 6 or more clean and empty tables in the place but she was not seating people. When I asked her if we can get one of those tables since I had been waiting 20+ minutes she seemed annoyed. After we finally got seated I watched other people set for 30+ minutes waiting for a table- And there were still 5 to 6 tables of various sizes clean and open. It was almost like she got a kick out of making everyone wait. The waitress did a great job and she had no problem keeping up, I think the hostess just needs some guidance. read more

So I went to this diner for the first time on a Tuesday morning around 10am. The restaurant was maybe 1/3 full. I was a little disappointed. I ordered the San Francisco Benedict, my husband got the Bissell breakfast. My holkaidaise sauce was not done proper so it looked curdled, both of our hasbrowns were hard as rocks, the hot sauce on the table tasted spoiled, the coffee was lukewarm. She did keep my cup topped off but did not ask if our food was ok. Pretty disappointed in a place that had a 4.5 review. read more

The food and customer service was top tier! If you haven't t been you need to get here will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town

I wouldn't consider myself and my family regulars, but we've been here on multiple occasions. Food and service have always been top notch. However, yesterday morning we witnessed something that led me to leave this two star review. There were some employees, seemingly in good spirits enjoying a conversation when another less enthused employee walked over at a relatively fast pace, and intentionally pushed one girl off of her seat! This was within my line of sight, along with many other customers. Quite a shock to say the least & I'm thankful I didn't have my children with me to see this. I will say, kudos to the employee she hit, who seemed much younger, because she handled it well. Of course, I feel bad not having said something in the moment, but hoping this helps management address this type of behavior. read more

Typical diner atmosphere and diner menu. Nice spot to meet up with my friend for brunch. Food and service was nice..

I absolutely love the food here! We come here every weekend for brunch! They are always super patient with my toddler. The food is always fast, even when they're busy, and super delicious! The last few weekends we had Vann as our waiter. He is the best! He is on top of everything and super friendly. I would absolutely return just based off of his performance! He has been my favorite so far! Thank you Vann for being awesome! And thank you Metro Diner for having the best breakfast food! read more

Wow! I have passed this place a few times and never thought to stop in but I'm glad I did. It was suggested by friends and we went for breakfast. My first thought (esp being from the greater northeast) was "I'm not eating any diner food outside of Jersey." Luckily, I wasn't too hard set on that and the $2.99 daily mimosas helped soften me up to them a bit. We went in on a Saturday morning and it was pretty packed, we were told a 15 minute wait which I was not confident they were going to make as no one seemed like they'd be getting up soon or had even really started eating. Luckily, we were able to grab a spot at the bar. Then began the horror of absolutely terrible service. Our waitress approached us with an attitude and after requesting menus she became really hard to get a hold of. As the bar overlooked the kitchen, we were able to make small talk and get suggestions from the cooks! Again however, when we were finally able to order we were greeted with an attitude. Fast forward to the food- I requested half chicken and waffles , sub the waffles for pancakes at the suggestion of the couple next to me AND the cooks. My server told me I couldn't do this and I ended up getting some a la cartes or whatever, fast forward the food was good. My server asked if I wanted some of the house sauce of the chicken and before I could answer informed me "she had to make it so if I didn't want it she didn't have to make it" ...very welcoming, yeah no- I'll pass. Anyway - food wise, amazing! Service wise , front of the house needs some work but keep on killing it BOH. read more

Metro Diner - Bar seat - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

We love metro diner for traditional southern style American breakfast! Service is quick and the restaurant is clean.

First everyone here was pretty nice for breakfast. Waitress was super friendly and personable. This go around, was a bit different. One thing I feel should be mentioned prior to a customer ordering their meal, is what they're out of instead of waiting for them to order then mentioning that it isn't available. Especially if they're already trying to figure out what they would like to eat to begin with. read more

So I came back to update my review. Metro Diner Suffolk has come a long way since last year. This time around the floors were clean. Yay! Service was ok but nothing to complain about. The food was priced low. The chicken pot pie tasted good for the price. My favorite part of this visit was the music. The intercom played r&b and pop from the 70's & 80's. I will come back again and again for the music. :) read more

While my entire family loves this place, I'm just not convinced. I've been here twice and there's always been something amiss. The first time we requested a high chair but were then seated in a booth and told high chairs cant go with booths because of the walkway, so we had to be reseated despite telling them we needed a high chair. This past Saturday, everything was nearly perfect, and I was so hopeful, but I ordered the turkey platter and the turkey was cold, which pretty much ruined the whole meal; I was so disappointed. Everyone else had a great time though. Mimosa was great. Server was attentive and cheerful. read more

Had chicken and waffles twice at this place . Plenty of whole pieces of chicken to feel you up. Returned second time on a different day and my chicken was salty and definitely needed the sweetness from the waffles w/ syrup to balance the flavor. read more

Atmosphere was nice but food was terrible. The lettuce and tomato on the turkey and Swiss sandwich were tasteless and nasty. The Shepherd's pie was just a meat patty with mashed potatoes on top of a brown liquid. Service good, though. read more

I have only been to this restaurant one time. Overall I had a pleasant experience. My only complaint is it's too small and the tables are too close. The food was good and the portion I received for the amount paid was good. I would definitely visit this restaurant again just maybe try to choose a less busy time of day. read more

This review is based purely on the FRIED CHICKEN. Metro Diner is a chain restaurant you may have seen in a few locations. Looking at the promotional material or ads you may see that they state they are rated highly for their fried chicken. They do not lie. They have two meal options with the fried chicken. A chicken and waffles entree and a chicken dinner entree. Both meals come standard with a half chicken (breast, wing, leg, and thigh) but they do have half orders with two pieces. The chicken is moist and golden fried to a nice crunch. This chicken has to be brined to be so moist. It is seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of salt to not be overbearing. As with all fried things, it does have a little bit of grease, but I find it to not be so much that my fingers look like I dipped it a vat of oil. The flavor of this chicken will keep you coming back. As a condiment, the chicken comes with Metro's Sweet Hot sauce. It's just some standard hot sauce (Lousiana or Texas Pete) mixed with some syrup. If you enjoy fried chicken, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Food was good but serving wise i wasn't that pleased for what we paid for i know they could do better
