Let me start with the good for my Metro Diner pick up order (placed one online and one through…read moreDoorDash): Order was ready on time The hostess in the bright green shirt at the front was very friendly and assisted me quickly Chicken tenders, creole mustard, green beans and fries were the star of the show today. I haven't had their chicken tenders before, but now realize I prefer it over the standard fried chicken solely because the flavor profile is better (more seasoned). I would order this again. Salad for my steak tips was as expected. I also redeemed a birthday reward for the chocolate cake. The bite I took was pretty good and it is easily a sharable portion size. Now for the not so good... My order through metro diners website consisted of steak tips, mash&gravy, garden salad with ranch. I personally would not order this again. Issue: The steak was chewy, flavor was bland and portion size seemed small for the value. My DoorDash order consisted of 1. Bissell breakfast with pancakes, scrambled eggs, cheese grits, bacon and a biscuit. 2. Small sausage gravy side 3. Chicken tenders plate with creole mustard, green beans and French fries. Issue: I quickly glanced through the see through lid of the boxes and noticed toast instead of a biscuit and no container that would have had the cheese grits. Went inside to notify the team and expo of missing items (also brought the bag back in). The expo called for these missing items from the kitchen. The cook glanced and then asked if he had a ticket for that? I managed restaurants for years so I get it when the kitchen asks this, however, the ticket was the one you made incorrectly and the expo did not check for correctness. The expo also stated "it is for a DoorDash order that she said is wrong". I'm happy this was a personal order because I got to see firsthand how it appears DD order issues are dismissed since they seemed to assume I was a driver. At least that is how the short exchange presented. They weren't rude it was the tone and lack of apology for my missing items. Mistakes happen. How you respond to and handle them matters. Fast forward - I get home and realize they must have simply switched my order with someone else's. There were hash browns with cheese and diced tomatoes and scrambled eggs with cheese. Was not my order and could not eat this order. The pancakes were just okay. Tried the sausage gravy with the biscuit. Not something I would get again but this part isn't a reflection of Metro Diner. Ordered this just to try it since many rave about this southern combo. Let's just say there will be more for everyone else to enjoy.

Service was friendly, and the ambiance is that of an iconic American diner. The food timing was slower than normally because there was only one cook working. The waitresses took turns reciting their customers' orders to the cook. He was working hard, but couldn't keep up with the full restaurant of hungry customers. Overall a good experience, and definitely better than breakfast from a fast food chain.

Parking can be a little bit difficult, but 5 Points South has so much good going on. You order at a kiosk, which isn't my favorite. There was a QR code to scan the menu, and then several touch screen computers to order at. I overheard people complaining about the organization of the menu on the kiosks. You get a number and take a seat! I got the chicken and waffles, which were delicious. I wasn't expecting the chicken to be bone-in wings, but no complaints. I think a tender would've been my preference - so I can cut it up and do the tender and waffle in the same bite. The food came out pretty quickly! The fry on the chicken was outstanding, the fries were also delicious. I got a side of cheese grits and they were really good, too. Service was ok - with the kiosks there's not much interaction. I will add that I asked for a cup of water and I think our server forgot. Would definitely come back to try a burger!

I got an egg dish that came with potatoes, brussel sprouts, sausage, spinach, goat cheese. It was a LARGE portion and I couldn't eat it all. Very tasty. A little bit overpowered by additional cheddar cheese and lemon aioli in the recipe, so I'd skip those next time. The one thing that detracts from a 5 star experience is how long it took the beignets to come out. We ordered 4 pieces as an appetizer and they never came out until we were done with our entrees. Our waitress told us "they take a while to make," though she had been assuring us they would come out since shortly after our order was placed. Next time, I'd want to try the cinnamon roll french toast.

If you look at the picture of the Big Jack hamburger on the display menu you need to lower your expectations about 50%. They need to change the name, from Big Jack to Just Jack. Nothing big about it other than a bunch of bread. When I walked in and went to the register to order my food, there was no one in front of me in the line. It took slightly over eight minutes for someone to take my order. Person really never spoke to me, but just stared at me and waited for me to tell her my order. She did tell me how much I owed. As for ambience, I ended up taking my food to go because ordering my food and getting my food took a long time. I'm in that area every Sunday but have never been to that Jack's location. Thought I would try it. For me that visit was disappointing. I did like the mashed potatoes and gravy though.

If you're familiar, it's in the Old Main St., Tavern location in Montevallo. Several of the employees kept saying how busy it was there was two large parties that were there and then some other tables. There was no wait to be sat. Someone came and took our orders, but it took a few more minutes for someone to come back to take our order, but we were not in a rush, so that was no problem. Decided to get brunch i got the French toast, which was very delicious. It comes with bacon. My brunch date decided to get the shrimp and grits. We also got an appetizer of onion rings, goat cheese, and fried green tomatoes. The fried goat cheese was my favorite. It came with a lemon blueberry aïoli sauce. I ended up using the rum sauce. It tasted better to me. The fried green tomatoes were very delicious. I believe they do a bottomless mimosa, but I decided just to get a sprite. Unfortunately, unfortunately, the server was not very attentive with filling up our drinks. I think they were shortstaffed. I'll definitely be back for either their lunch or dinner because that menu looked good as well. There is a lot of cool decor on the walls and I believe they do karaoke on the weekends.

Today was a perfect example of both the strengths and challenges this location faces. There were only three employees working because, unfortunately, it seems they continue to have staffing issues on Sundays. Even with such a short staff, the team was doing everything they could to keep things moving while maintaining a positive attitude and providing great customer service. That said, a 20-minute wait in the drive-thru is simply too long. The employees working today were not the problem--they were working hard and doing their best under difficult circumstances. Management really needs to find more dependable employees to support the team. On a positive note, my biscuit was hot, fresh, and delicious. Also, the young guy working with the injured arm was awesome--friendly, hardworking, and professional throughout the entire experience. I appreciate the effort of the employees who showed up today and hope management can get them the support they deserve.
