We stopped by Metro Diner one Sunday morning for brunch & it was fantastic! At first we were a little worried because there was about a 15 minute wait but we stuck it out & im so glad we did! They had a huge breakfast & brunch selection & it was a very affordable meal as well! I especially loved the bloody mary & mimosas for $2!! You cannot beat that! The service was quick once we sat down & the food was great! Highly recommend! read more

I love the chicken and waffles. I get it every time I go. The strawberry butter and hot sauce syrup are so good even for a picky eater.

My absolute favorite restaurant! The Suffolk location is better than Chesapeake too!!!

I'm writing this review because I'm really frustrated. In a time where we know restaurants are struggling and need our business to survive. Last night's meal from Metro Diner is the reason I prefer cooking at home than eating out. My daughter ordered Chicken and Waffles and I ordered the Chicken Sandwich. I checked our food while the server went inside to charge my credit card. Top box was the fried chicken....three pieces that looked as if they had been fried twice and the fourth was fried to a burnt crisp (see pic). How hard is it to use a little bit of quality control and not send out burned food? I did say something to the server, and she offered to have a new dinner made. I declined. The intent for calling ahead is so you're not waiting. My chicken sandwich was missing the bacon as well. My point of this review is take pride in your product and service. I have eaten here many times. Please do read more

Metro Diner - Fried chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

Breakfast was phenomenal. I had the fruit waffle with cheesy grits and egg, hubby had eggs Benedict, and daughter had chicken and waffles; all delicious. Great customer service, no wait. Will be back again.....and again. read more

Normally I try to cook breakfast on Sundays But this particular Sunday my lady wanted to go out to eat and she mentioned this place. We live in Newport News but we took the drive to see if it was any good. Yelp said it wasnt busy on the app and sure enough when we got there at around 10:00am there wasn't a line and was able to be seated right away. We ordered some water from the lovely server and looked over the menus. She told us that although it was breakfast time they actually serve the lunch and dinner menu as well which was great to know! I ordered the Western omelette and swapped out the hash browns for a cup of fruit and my lady ordered the chicken and waffles. Didnt take long at all for the food to come out and it looked great! I was lowkey jealous of the chicken and waffles because those were some healthy looking chickens on that plate. My omelette was still banging tho and the cup of fruit was a legit nice sized cup of fruit, not that 3 pieces of miscellaneous fruit that ihop be giving. (shoutouts to ihop). Oh yea, just so you know traffic started to pick up closer to 11 o clock so make sure you get there early on Sundays to avoid the rush. Great staff, great food! read more

Metro Diner - Western Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

I love the food! Been there several times and only had a problem with customer service one time. The food out weighed the service in that case. I tried the shrimp n grits, the club sandwich, and the holy devoli burger. My favorite so far, the shrimp and grits!!!! Second is the holy devoli buger. I try something new everytime I go in there. It is always packed when i go but worth the wait! Ill definitely go back! read more

GREAT GREAT place to eat! They just have amazing breakfast and better prices then IHOP and village inn

Awesome portions sizes and a good menu. The food is good for the most part and at times excellent. Really like the healthy options as well.

Tried this place out a couple months ago and since then, I have been back many times. The service is great, the food is awesome, and the restaurant is nice and clean. They have a wonderful selection and great specials. I love that you can get breakfast lunch, and dinner all day. The meals are hearty and very reasonably priced. Will definitely continue to come here. read more

The Food was Horrible! We ordered Salmon and it was RAW inside.. And the Beef had more Fat on it then Meat. The Corn beef Hash taste like it had soap in it. The Diner was Extremely Cold inside.. The worse Diner I've ever been to. The Metro Diner in Suffolk is not worth your time. It's just taking up space where another restaurant could be that serves better food. read more

My husband and I visited for the first time tonight. Our server was prompt and courteous, taking time to explain the specials and giving us ample time to read through all the menu options. My Belgian Waffle was prepared perfectly. My husband asked for hash browns with the works and biscuits and gravy. It looked fine to us and he was enjoying his meal tremendously. Partway through, a manager came by with a fresh plate of biscuits and gravy, saying the gravy on the plate he was served first looked as though it may have been a bit old. My husband was confused and said it was fine but the manager insisted it wasn't up to their standards and it's not what they want to put in front of customers. Impressive! Impressive! Impressive!!!! Amazing customer service!!! We will absolutely, without a doubt, be back!! read more

Check out the chicken and waffles with the sweet spicy sauce on the side . Also the meatloaf is a great choice read more

By far the best food in the area. This is not a typical diner, the food is on-point amazing with a great selection. If you get a chance to sit at the bar, take that opportunity. You will be delighted to watch the team-work the kitchen staff has, everyone is very professional, calm, cool, collected, and friendly. They offer a military discount, which is always appreciated. read more

My husband ordered almost $100 order from here on Grubhub, so we could feed our 5 kids dinner. We waited. They waited until our actual delivery time before they canceled our order & refunded WITHOUT EXPLANATION. We thought maybe it was an error, so we used My GH+ account to reorder & AGAIN waited until delivery time before I actually received a call, saying it was also canceled & refunded because they were changing their menu & didn't have all the items... so I asked could we change the order around to something they did have (because I'm hurt, can't stand to cook, & trying to feed my 5 kids) & was told no. So 2hrs if waiting & no food. TERRIBLE SERVICE! read more

Great food and wonderful service! Chicken and waffles was a hit!!! Will definitely return!

After my first visit, which was not the best experience, management reached out to me to find out more about my concerns. The manager came up with a plan of action to fix the issues from the first visit within his establishment, which was much appreciated, and sent out a set of gift certificates and invited me to come back. I did a random pop up for brunch with friends following my conversation with the manager, and this visit was wonderful. Our waitress offered stellar customer service the food was superb and came out in a timely matter. I made sure to tell her how wonderful her service was. To make it better when she saw the certificate she knew about my prior experience not being the best and made sure to put me at ease and make sure that everything went better this time and even brought out the manager to who double checked that everything went well for myself and my friends. A MUCH better experience for me than my first visit. read more

First and only visit, my order was the club sandwich, the bread was dry, the meats taste undetectable, no moisture (mayonnaise or sauce) on the sandwich and my side order at this point I don't even remember what it was. read more

The best home cooked dinner ever. Customer is great and most of all the manager Mr. Rome is a fair person and goes over and beyond to make sure the customer experience is A1. I recommend A+ read more

We went for breakfast and it was delicious. When they say the pancakes are small, they are kidding. They are as big as a plate. They are very fluffy and tasty. The western omelet was huge and the home fries were piled on the plate. They were perfectly crispy. The coffee was bold, but just what was needed. Our waitress Kacie B. was very attentive and never let our drinks go empty. I would definitely recommend breakfast here. read more

Great service , promptly seated, clean (new), served quickly by a nice young man, order came out quickly and was correct. Food was very good and served well plated. We will be back. Noted: the phrase " no problem" was overused by some members of the staff. An update: had breakfast at Metro today was great, service as good as it gets. Not crowded yet, but on Saturday should be so. Server Brandi M. Was very good. She has got it down. read more

Decent place if you're not looking for fancy. The staff is very attentive. The area needed something like this. We have been there several times and I tend to stick to the breakfast foods. My family enjoys the lunch and dinner options. They are all good but nothing Earth shattering. It's hard to find a place that serves a full menu so day so this is one of our go to places. It's worth trying to see if you like it. read more

This place is simple and just awesome. Waitresses are efficient and really pleasant. Our food came out piping hot and super fast. We got a BLT with fries, pot roast, and fruity waffle. It was all really tasty! Fries were perfect. Sautéed veggies (side order) were really just zucchini and yellow squash but it was cooked so well. Seasoned to perfection. Not too soft, not too crunchy, just perfect. Belgian waffle was incredible, or maybe the syrup made it. I wanted to lick the plate it was so good. Syrup came to our table hot, and stayed that way a while. Usually thin runny syrup isn't as tasty to me, but I really wanted to lick the plate or just pour it straight in my mouth. It was that delicious. Couldn't take a picture of the spread fast enough b/c we were hangry and it was devoured quickly. will definitely make a trip back soon. Highly recommended! read more

I love this place. Great food and the staff is always friendly and pleasant. I don't live in the area but whenever I stay in town Metro is definitely my go to place. The food is well worth it, the prices are cheap, & the service is fast and good. read more

We have eaten here several times now. When they first opened & had what seemed like a training team there for a while, the experience was awesome! Everything ran smoothly, food came out fast & tasting good, & servers were incredibly attentive. Even that one time my husband ordered one of their shrimp specials & the shrimp came out super undercooked, one of the managers himself cooked the shrimp to correct the mistake. We were impressed! But the last few times, we felt as if the experience had soured a little bit. My very last experience almost had me walking out of the restaurant disappointed & hungry. Ordered their Eggs Benedict & the poached eggs arrived hard as a rock. Our sweet server was stuck by the kitchen waiting on more food, so my husband walked the plate over to her & she immediately apologized & the other server standing next to her agreed the eggs were overcooked. Pleased with the feeling that it would be corrected within minutes, I waited happily... Until 15 minutes past & everyone at my table (mother & grandmother were visiting & were trying the diner out for the first time) were done eating. We believe our server was too embarrassed to come back to our table without the food knowing it was taking forever, so we actually had to flag her down & ask her what was going on. She said that the kitchen was still working on it, but I guess she forgot we had a clear view of the kitchen & it's cooks & they were cranking out meal after meal before even starting to correct mine. I have worked in several restaurants in the past & no way do you ignore a refire. They decided to not correct the issue right away & instead continue on as if it didn't happen until our server asked one of them about it. After waiting several more minutes, my table started to leave to wait outdoors & I finally got my food. I told our server that although it wasn't her fault, I was very upset & she acknowledged it with another apology. The eggs were perfect this time & I ate it as fast as I could. No manager came to the table, but the meal was dropped from the check. My husband left there saying it'll be a while before we return. Huge pro & shout-out: the older sweet hostess with short hair. I wish I knew her name because she is a light at that restaurant. Wonderful person. read more

Love the old school and open kitchen diner style. The food was amazing and everything I saw being cooked (I sat at the kitchen bar area) looked delicious. It's very cozy and the staff were all very friendly. I would highly recommend this as a nice breakfast or brunch spot. read more

Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere! I had the Belgian waffle with chocolate chips on top with a side of country sausage patties and a cup of fruit. The counter top is where you can see some hard workers on the stove. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Ordered a fried chicken dinner for delivery and the chicken wasn't golden brown but dark brown oil used to fry had not been chained in a long time. Needless to say this dinner went in the trash. read more

OMG, if I could, I'd stay here for all 3 meals....love this place. As soon as we walked in, the grill makes you want to eat right then. Love the atmosphere, too. We will definitely be back. My sister from NY is hard to please and SHE said it was good. Chicken & Waffles was the best that I've ever had hands down. She had the crabcake benedict. The only thing she said was that the crab cakes could have been bigger....but everything else is 5 stars plus! read more

I like coming to this place because service is always fast and the entire staff is very professional and courteous. It's also a plus that they support military members by offer discounts. I had the chicken and waffles and its amazing. I also tried the classic egg Benedict and it's good. Really great place for the entire family. read more

This place was just "ok" to me, it was overly good and it wasn't bad. I was a bit disappointed that my vegetables in my omelet wasn't at least sautéed before adding to omelet but hey if they like it I love it lol. To me, diners are diners, I didn't have high expectations and I didn't get blown away. It served the purpose for breakfast but I prolly won't revisit. read more

I'm giving this 3 stars because there isn't an option for 2.5 stars. Mmmh. Where should I begin. So this restaurant is in my neighborhood and I've heard good things about it from my co-workers. So my mom and I decided to go this past Saturday. I thought that 4 would be a good time to go and it wouldn't be packed, but it was. There was no wait. I dislike how the tables are so close together, like I could actually touch the person at the table beside and behind me. Anyhoo. A peeve of mine in ANY establishment is a bunch of employees goofing off, shooting the $hit and doing nothing and that is exactly what was going on this here day. The kitchen you can see from the dining room (the part that we were seated at) and the kitchen staff was HUSTLING. However front of the house staff was cutting an absolute fool like it was a high school football pep rally. Our waitress, who didn't introduce herself, looked to be a senior in high school. She was more so going through the motions like a robot - no personality. After browsing the menu, I decided on the shrimp and grits and my mom got the fish and chips. The waitress did tell me that their shrimp and grits came with FRIED GRIT CAKES, rather than traditional grits. Sounded okay, so I decided to still get it. I shouldn't have. My phone was on 1% so I couldn't take a picture of it, but it was worth seeing, if only to discourage someone else from getting it. It was a big bowl of country white cream gravy with sausage and shrimp in it, with two grit cakes in the middle. When I tell you it was SO MUCH GRAVY I could have swam in it. Totally not what I expected. The grit cakes had ZERO flavor. Gravy would have been good piled on 23 platters of fresh Hardee's biscuits. Shrimp were okay. When the waitress came to ask how was it, I should have sent it back at that time. I told her that it was just okay. She totally missed her opportunity to say well would you like to try something else and simply walked off (another indication of poor training). I was really tired that day and didn't feel like getting the manager and since I wasn't paying for it, I decided to let it ride. My mom did share her fish and chips with me and it was good, nothing to write home about. I'll try them again, maybe around late summer. Hopefully it will be a better experience. read more
