Parking can be anxiety-inducing. I grabbed a spot just as someone pulled out of it. Many times have I driven past Eggs Up due to the line of waiting potentials. I don't wait for anything if I can help it. It was still packed on a Friday morning, but I nabbed a counter seat. Hash Benedict and fancy donuts. Well, well, look at me eating fancy donuts over here! La-di-da, Your Majesty. The donuts were light - softly crunchy, if that makes any sense. I learned quickly that using my hands was a messy mistake. Fancy donut eaters like me can't be licking their fingers in a restaurant. Use a knife and fork. Man oh man. The eggs were so fluffy. The hash was absolutely delicious. And the hash browns were fine. Nothing to crab about. Any cons here? Well yes, it took 25 minutes to get my order delivered. To their credit, they said they'd messed up my eggs and did them over. However, it was obvious my browns were the originals because while the eggs came out hot, the potatoes were lukewarm, if that. Yes, I could've said something but that would've made my wait even longer. I know they're super popular and waiting is a thing there. But, like I said, I hate waiting for things. Anyway, the workers all seemed like beautiful people. It was quite clean in there, and passing the time with the kind regular sitting next to me was a pleasure. I'm in no hurry to return. I was there using a Christmas gift card. It's a fine place with good food. It's just too popular for my taste. Don't let that keep you away. 4.3.

However we were traveling & ordered a To Go order. Coffee was decent. Egg sandwiches ( mine on a waffle) were very good; However one of their items was amazing. I knew we had to try and it did not disappoint.... The Croissant-Style Donuts: House-made croissant-style donuts, served hot with powdered sugar and a caramel drizzle. These were amazing even without the caramel. I think there was a stuffing in the middle. I'll go back to Dine In when I'm back to this town or see another store somewhere else.

Okay y'all. Wrapping up my summer sojourne. Took family out to brunch. This was a perfect choice…read more The decor evinces a real farmhouse environment, ie: rustically charming. Very welcoming atmosphere. When you come in you're instructed to peruse the menu and order/pay at the register. Or you can seat yourself first, gather your utensils, and order from the menu more leisurely. I chose the latter option. Totally worth careful consideration of the menu IMO. I chose the Eye Opener Breakfast with extra side of grits, sausage and home fries. My family ordered the Salmon Smorrebord and the BLT&E on Crossant. Absolutely delectable. I'm definitely a fan and look forward to my next occasion to visit.

It's got a steampunk vibe with tables both inside and out. Good crowd on a weekday at 9:30am with people just stopping in for a coffee and muffin, having meetings, and enjoying a leisurely breakfast. I ordered the chicken biscuit and wow, it was phenomenal! Would have added the hot honey but was afraid of making a mess. My partner had the breakfast mugwich which he thoroughly enjoyed. Iced coffee and Chai rounded out our meal. Would definitely stop here again!

I went for lunch and ordered the Wednesday special, which in June 2026 is a smash burger with fries for $10. The burger is normally $10 by itself with the fries $5. The fries were a little too salty but OK. The burger was smashed and tasted good with American cheese, grilled onions, pickles and some kind of sauce. A plus is they have craft beer. I may have to try some other items in the future.

And Metro Diner checks all the boxes. Last night I was looking at the general area because I knew I wanted to go somewhere for breakfast. Metro diner popped up as one of the options. I had been here once before, and apparently it had been a six months (according to my last review) since I was here. When I arrived I was pleasantly greeted at the door. I was quickly seated. Kristy promptly came over and took my order. I got the strawberry shortcake griddle special. Let me say I thought the lemon blueberry griddle was good. This one was just as good if not better. I'm a huge lemon blueberry fan so this one had high expectations. Like before the restaurant was clean. Staff were attentive and constantly checking on all of the tables. Before placing my order, I had asked about the strawberry shortcake griddle, and the sweetness. I like sweets, but not necessarily for breakfast. Kristy offered her opinion and suggestions/recommendations, stating this was one of her favorites. I'm not sure why it took six months to come back, but I will definitely be back. Thank you, Metro diner and staff for a great meal and service. Like before I will definitely be telling my friends and family about this location.

Fried pickles and a kids cheese quesadilla. Everything was cold. Didn't eat all day and got this to go and by the time we walked down the road 40 seconds to eat outside of the building, everything was cold and soggy like it was sitting for 15 minutes all packaged up. Very poor service. Poor environment. Surprised at how this place is even open after that showing. Sweet potato fries stiff as a board and unedible. Side of deviled egg was atrocious and had zero flavor. Waitress was nice but only had 3 tables and was nowhere to be found 5-7 minutes at a time. Again, don't come to this place. I'm saving you money.
