The server was wonderful, especially considering she was cashier, server, and food runner. We waited over 30 minutes for our food - an omelet, sausage, and home fries and toast for one of us and 2 eggs over easy with bacon and homefries with biscuit for the other. When it arrived we got a runny egg omelet, hard burnt sausage, two well done eggs and biscuit was a bit dry. The potatoes and bacon were the only items that were good. Oh well, still on the hunt for a good diner I guess.

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.

(At least add some cinnamon to the batter, vanilla extract or something ) The biscuit was humongous and fluffy. Slap some jelly on it and you'll be playing with a full deck. I wasn't a fan of the salmon patties. I like the crispiness of the patty but the salmon mixture did not do it for me. Maybe some Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt may perk it up. The Grits were very bland so grab the salt and pepper and continue on. Of course my eggs were good. You can't really mess up eggs. Not to soft and definitely not hard. And of course this all was washed down with a pineapple mimosa. Man was it great....chilled and bubbly. If in the area again.....I would return to try other items.

One of my sons has been affected the same way, we didn't eat the same thing. Server prioritized others ahead of us (waited about 10 mins to be asked for a drink order, meanwhile filling a drink order for 4 cops who came in 10 minutes after us). Prices looked great, portion size was large but the food itself was a big meh. I asked if they could cook their burgers to temp, got a resounding Yes they can....I asked for a medium burger and it came out well done. I was asked by two people how it was, which I answered "It was ok" - nobody wanted more details. IMHO they have an established base they cater hardest too and they don't extend that service to new customers. Makes the old timers feel great however we'll never be regulars. We won't be back. I get supporting those who support you, but that's hardly a long term sustainable model. Hope you're ready for when those folks dwindle off. They'll be lost in new customers acquisition and won't understand it. Enjoy it while you can. Atmosphere was great. Very disappointed it didn't meet expectations.

Let it be known this is the place to go to get the best fried chicken in Asheboro…read more On the menu, it's a 1/2 Fried Chicken with 2 sides and choice of a bread. All of that for $9.99! You can't beat that price. I ordered the Fried Chicken with Creamed Potatoes with gravy, Cabbage and hot rolls. The plate came out hot and steamy. The creamed potatoes were served with some of the daily special's gravy on it. It wasn't chicken gravy but it was a good homemade gravy. Were the potatoes real or boxed or a mix of both? I couldn't tell. If they were boxed, they fixed them up to taste real. If they were real, they sure did a great job at creaming them. It's on debate. The Cabbage was cooked perfect, seasoned well. The hot rolls were not homemade but they were fresh, light and fluffy and served warm. The star of the plate was definitely the chicken. Cooked to order, it came out super hot. It was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside, meat was tender and juicy on the inside. I peeled off some of the skin and juice was dripping all over the plate. It's hard to find good fried chicken and I've been trying several of the local places but so far, this place is #1. Also, the sweet tea is GREAT! The service was super friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean and there are lots of tables and booths, but get there early or after lunch because they were full when I arrived at around 1:30pm. I would highly recommend for the Fried Chicken.
