    Definitely the cleanest and newest Waffle House I've been to. Easy going and attentive staff served it up hot and fresh as always!

    Unexcitingly great! Small in size great in flavor. They get it right. We were greeted immediately by Niquara with a welcoming and warm smile. She made us feel like family. She helped make decisions about our order and was super attentive. Now, let's talk about the food, Wow, just wow. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted wonderful. Even the coffee was great. If you like good breakfast food and want to feel at home, I highly recommend this Waffle House.

    1st stop on our road trip and two hours in, we were excited to see a familiar sign like a beacon in the storm...no storm unless you count my growling tummy. We walked in and were immediately greeted and told to sit wherever. I made a beeline for the restroom which was very clean. Upon sitting we were again greeted by Ericka, our server and given menus to look over. The menu is pretty straightforward, waffles, of course, eggs, hashbrowns and toast as far as breakfast goes. Mom opted for a hashbrown bowl with bacon, egg and cheese country style (covered in gravy). While I chose a Texas toast bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. I forgot how fun it is to hear the server call out your order to the cook who is literally a few feet from you cooking up deliciously simple meals with skill and precision. Our plates were brought over quickly and everything tasted wonderful. We both took half with us to enjoy later as we continued down the highway and they were just as tasty an hour or so later! Happy dining!

    As far as Waffles House goes this was a good one. Food was great and the staff is friendly. Only complaint was the tables were dirty.

    Not all Waffle Houses are greasy spoons, but this on is a greasy spoon. If you're on 75S skip this one.

    Last minute breakfast decision and wow I am so pleased that we decided on the Metro Diner!…read more As soon as we pulled up I had a good feeling about this place and I'll be honest coming from New York I miss my diners! Needless to say this the Metro diner truly surpassed my expectations. We walked in and were greeted immediately and asked if we would like to sit outside which is a covered area or indoors. We chose inside given it being a hot humid day and wanting that extra comfort. The vibe felt amazing with all the smiles and yes even though busy all the wait staff was hopping doing their business! We were seated and told about the specials and given the menu. I was unsure what I wanted because I think I could have eaten a little bit of everything! I did ask the waitress a couple of suggestions and one of them was the pancakes I had chosen. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day! How cool is that and rare. They had a chicken and waffle special that was actually half a chicken ( pieces ) fried with Belgium waffles, powdered sugar and sweet strawberry butter served with their signature sweet and spicy sauce. I'll be honest when I had seen someone else get their plate I was surprised. It looked absolutely incredible and well tremendous. On their specials they had banana pudding pancakes or waffles, this also sounded amazing. It had walnuts, butter and powdered sugar and definitely banana. I am most certainly glad that I chose this as it was incredibly. Super fluffy, flavorful and the banana was not overwhelming there was a perfect balance of flavors. There was a sauce on them that I assume was the banana pudding. It was light and just enough to not overpower the pancake itself. We had also ordered croissant French toast and my son absolutely loved them. They were crispy on the outside yet fluffy and flavorful with a fantastic texture topped with some powdered sugar. Some ordered hash browns, these were also delicious and homemade with a great texture and the portion like all the other dishes pretty large. We had all tried the biscuits and gravy. These too were delicious with such a nice balance of flavors. The biscuits indeed homemade. We were all very pleased with everything. Some eggs over easy and bacon cooked perfectly. The coffee honestly the best I've had in years. I'm a coffee drinker and I cannot figure this coffee was outstanding! I had four cups and wish for more ha ha. Best of all I must compliment the service. I have not been to a restaurant of any sort with such attentive service, quality service as we received here in years. The waitress kept refilling my coffee and water, brought my son more soda ( even a container to take his home ) asked everyone if they needed anything at appropriate times and was extremely kind and considerate. I will be back and I highly recommend the Metro Diner for a great meal, quality service and relaxed environment that you will enjoy.

The server had no knowledge of vegan things despite having a large vegan section on the menu. She was unsure if French fries were vegan which is unusual. I assured her most French fries are while she went to check with kitchen which was very nice of her. I got lemonade and was surprised by the unlimited refills. I saw online vegan milk shakes but was sad to see them no longer on the menu. I tried the tempeh Reuben and we custom order the chili cheese fries made vegan. Grateful to see this style diner with vegan options as that is something I have never come by. If I am in the area I would return. I love mini golf but was there for a short time with lots of plans packed so we didn't have time to enjoy but thought it was a cute idea and very fun.
