Bissell Breakfast
Maria C.

Breakfast Review: We arrived at Metro Diner around 10:45 am and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. It was surprisingly crowded for a Friday morning, but the wait was reasonable. Once seated, Kavon was our server and he was great. He took our order and the food came out incredibly fast. This place really keeps things moving. I had the Bissell Breakfast and my husband ordered the chicken and waffles. Both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this spot for a great breakfast with quick service

I'm not joking I went back in two days! Food awesome! Service very adequate and swift! Very heart warming environment. Thank you Again!

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.

Chicken and waffles
Johnathan L.

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
Let S.

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.

Fried Chicken & Waffle
Sherese B.

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!
Nicole M.

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.

As for me the Spicy Sausage Omelette was really really good. The sausage had a bite of heat but nothing crazy. Not sure what they used but don't stop - it was that good. We both also had Sweet Teas. We were warned from the start - they are dark and REAL sweet. Which for me was perfect. As for the service: there was one lady (dam forgot her name) taking care of all the guest and she did great. When I say taking care of - I mean everything. Bussing tables, sitting folks, taking orders, and cashing out. Again she was wonderful! The place is neat just like many have said before me. Old 80's type stuff on the walls and tables. Now let me address something that some past Yelpers clearly have an issue with. There are small indications of the owners political views within the location. Nothing crazy at all and unless you really look for it you won't notice. Some past yelpers I who clearly don't agree used this to bust down their Yelp review. That's ridiculous. If the owner wants to voice their opinion- they have every right. It's their place - with their money on the line and their time vested. They clearly treated every guest wonderfully and that's all you should really focused on. So looking for a very good meal (breakfast) at a nice little joint - go on in and enjoy. I'm sure we will be back and might even shoot for the lunch menu next time.

I have had a few visits here now, and the most recent visit was on January 12, 2026. At the beginning of each new year, I like to try a place that I have never been to before, so January 1, 2026, was the first time I had come here. My mom was with me. Depending on when you come in general, parking can be limited at times with all the other businesses in this shopping center. Upon first look at the place from the outside, you can see the name and logo pretty easily. It looks similar to other places that happen to be in this same shopping center. We got here around 8 am on that first visit. When we came inside, it wasn't too busy yet, likely due to others probably still sleeping after being up past midnight for the new year. The inside of the place has a modern diner type of vibe, which fits the restaurant well. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server Brooke came over pretty quickly and asked us what we would like to drink. I just do my usual of water with lemon, and my mom had gotten coffee. It would take us a little while to choose since there lots of good items to choose from. When she came back to check again, we were ready this time. I figured I'd get something I don't normally do, so I went for the French Toast Combo with scrambled eggs, bacon, and baked apples. My mom decided to go with the Ultimate Skillet with rye toast. The food would come out pretty quick. It was around ten minutes or so. Both breakfast entrees looked really good and they were hot. It felt like an indulgence when I started on the French toast since it has been a long time since having it. The baked apples were great too, and something else I don't normally have. I will note that I didn't get a blood sugar spike after this meal either that day. My mom enjoyed the Ultimate Skillet as much as I did with the French Toast Combo. After the experience from that first visit, we came back to try the lunch/dinner menu options for dinner that day. This visit was on January 12, 2026. After being seated initially, we moved over to a table since the booths were a bit tight. Kellie was our server on this visit. She asked us what we wanted to have to drink, and I went with water with lemon and my mom went with a coke. After taking some time to look over the menu, we were ready to order. My mom decided not to have too much, so she just went with the Loaded Baked Potato side item. I decided to try the Chipotle Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich with the homemade chips as the side. Just like the last time, it took about ten minutes or so for the food to come out. The sandwich I had was really good, and so were the homemade chips. This time, this meal did spike my blood sugar levels, but it was so good. My mom told me afterwards that the loaded baked potato she had come out cold. It was then that we let the server know, and she asked if she wanted to get it redone. She said no but wanted to take it home instead. The server did take off the cost of that item. It was likely due to it sitting before my sandwich was ready to bring them out together. Mom did get a box to bring it home and had it later that evening, and she said it was good when it was heated up at home too. Overall, we have had a few very good experiences here. The food and service were good, and the issue for my mom was handled well too. That shows they truly care about the experience of the visitors here. Both menus may be just two sides, but there is quite a bit to choose from. I think anyone would find something they would like here. There is one thing I want to note when it comes to paying. There is a 3% surcharge added to the total including taxes if you use a credit card instead of cash. In the end, if you are looking for a diner type of place, this one is worth checking out.

Love it here!…read more Yesterday my husband and I dined at this restaurant for the prime rib special. Today Monday the day after is National prime rib day so the restaurant decided to feature a special on prime rib for Sunday dinner. My husband made reservations online for 5:00 p.m. we arrived on time with no wait and because the restaurant was fairly empty we decided to dine at the bar instead of a table in the actual dining room. Our bartender/waitress, Lizzie, she was on point held the whole bar area down punctual assertive and had everything under control. I ordered a margarita I did ask her is it a fresh Margarita and she said yes and my husband ordered his normal crown with a splash of Sprite. My margarita in my opinion it didn't taste as fresh as I would like it to be and then I don't care to have a margarita in a tall glass that just screams mix not fresh to me. Nevertheless I just know not to order that again going forward but my husband's cocktail... Crown Royal with Sprite he enjoyed it! I wasn't super hungry so I decided to order a salad and add a piece of blackened salmon to it it was very good finished it all up... ordered it my way. My husband ordered the prime rib I believe medium his was a little bit more than medium but nevertheless he said it was good and he ate every last Fork full. We decided to make room for dessert so we share the creme bruelle which was pretty good ...not the best ever tho. Our dining experience took about 90 minutes we were able again to sit at the bar and catch some of the NBA Playoffs that were featured on TV. Overall the dining experience was a 10 out of a 10 five stars as usual of course a few bumps, but nothing to take away from this experience.

First the location: it's in a strip mall, which it shares with Kroger, a thrift store, and one of the last Roses stores around. The inside was very nice and had a real country atmosphere.

Let's say wow - our order was delivered to our table in maybe 7-8 minutes. I was in total shock. The meals. The wifey has the Monte Cristo French Toast meal. I could tell she liked it a lot. As I look at her taking her first full bite and her eyes are blasting open. She said it was absolutely outstanding. As for me, I had Biscuits & Gravy with potatoes and bacon.

I bet she checked on us 6-7 times during our stay and we were not her only table. She was just that attentive.
