The Metro Diner Reviews

Great food. Great service. Can't go wrong with anything at Metro! Bold city burger, chicken and waffles, monte cristo, they are all great!

Amazing choices of food and very accommodating staffs. One of the best

AWESOME EATS!! Very Friendly Staff. Great Place for Family Meal!!

Happy Resurrection Day! I had veggie omelet with some toasted bread and grits. It was good and the friendly staff are very helpful. I am looking forward for my next visit. :-)

Excellent! Not too much more to say. The food was great. The portions were more than enough. The server was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be coming back.

This place is a local staple. Best breakfast in town, and great daily specials.

One of my favorite places, but the portions and prices are larger than necessary. You're able to order half sizes for a large percent of the menu though, so that makes it better.

Called in a order on my lunch , around 1140 got there at 12pm . Went to where u pick up call in orders all the workers where just standing around chatting no one greeted me and asked if I needed help or checked me out . One girl walked up to the register didn t say anything printed a receipt and left . Apparently Christa could only ring me out 15 min of waiting food was cold . I never had that type of experience before !!! It really had me upset

Food is great. Service is great. Everytime I go, it's great.

Excllent breakfast! Good service! I will definitely return next time I am visiting Jacksonville FL.

Had the chicken and waffles. It was awesome. There was enough chicken for leftovers. Staff was friendly.

The food was hot and served quickly. My server Brandon was polite, visited the table just the right amount of times and was excellent at anticipating unexpressed needs

I always love eating at one of the locations today brough out raw chicken and runny mashed potatoes not never have I had this many problems

Very good had western omelet and hashbrowns too much to eat. Waiter was very attentive

On a budget? Order a single breakfast, like waffles and fried chicken, and ask for 2 plates. They really serve enough for two people! Delicious food, attentive service, even during busy hours.

Always packed but worth it, whether it's their Southside location, the beaches, or downtown. The crabcake benedict and challah on the square are my favorites!

The food was great, the restaurant was clean, and there was good service. That's the main criteria, all met! There can sometimes be a long wait so you should go early.

Good food and lots of it. The hash browns were crispy. Greek omelette has lots of feta and fresh spinach.

We walked in not really aware that we were about an hour away from closing. They were gracious, we were served quickly and the food was good. I would recommend this place to a friend.

Love, love, love Metro Diner. If you want fantastic comfort food at a reasonable price with friendly service this is the place for you. Or if you just want a hamburger that uses grilled cheese sandwiches for a bun this is also the place for you.

Anytime I go I am never disappointed by the food. Everything was delicious and you NEVER have to flag down a waitress. Every waitress is YOUR waitress. They all have eachothers back which leafs to happy customers. If you arrive and there is a wait do it. You won't be disappointed.

I ve had the opportunity to eat at the Baymeadows & Southside location a few times, and each time was a miss for me. Every visit I looked forward to experience I ve heard so many people rave about. The quality of taste was just not there for me.

Food was great, service was amazing. Our server Jamie made sure we were taken care of and helped us have a great dining experience. Will definitely be back again

Place was packed but the staff was awesome. Everyone was moving nonstop. Food was delicious

Reasonable prices, fantastic food, great service.
I had the signature Chicken and Waffles and found the Fried Chicken to be perfectly cooked, and downright addictively seasoned. The strawberry butter is a simple yet brilliant addition.

Best French dip in town! Great seeing all the old faces, been a couple years since I moved

Always a pleasure with great service and wonderful food.

Great food and excellent service. A lot of creative ideas on the menu.

Very, very good and plentiful portions!! Would definitely recommend. Very reasonable prices

Great food, great service. We had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated as they were busy but it was worth the wait.

The limited menu has been the cause of my limited visits lately. Luckily on this visit I was able to talk them into making me a Pittsburgh sandwich even though it isn't on the current menu. I think the person salting the fries may have forgotten to put the top on the shaker too. Otherwise everything was good and the wait staff was outstanding as usual.

I worked there had a family death.. Had to take off was let go.. Need more compassion

The Metro Diner is my current favorite breakfast spot. They have a large variety of foods. I love the relaxed atmosphere. My waitresses have always been very polite and keep the refills coming. My personal favorite breakfast food is the chicken biscuit. They make very yummy cheesy grits too (coming from a northerner!) My husband loves the Bissell breakfast that provides him with a platter of breakfast foods for only $10. The prices are pretty reasonable and the portions are generally pretty large. I have yet to try something from Metro Diner that I didn t like. The only thing to be aware of is that Sunday mornings it gets VERY busy during breakfast. The diner is next door to a church so there are a lot of people who go before or after church on Sunday mornings. Amazing place overall!

Get ready to experience some amazing comfort food. Visited the Jacksonville Florida location on Baymeadows. There will be a slight wait during the am peak hours, however it s worth it. The food is great. Staff at that location was very friendly and helpful.

Always good service and good food in a timely manner.

Great breakfast! Chicken and Waffles were delicious. Had a specialty coffee mishap but brought it to the attention of the manager and he's attending to it.

Giving it 3 stars because of the cooks. I counted THREE cooks NOT WEARING a mask!! They were wearing them as chin straps instead!! NOT OKAY!

Our waiter was GREAT! Very attentive during a busy brunch rush. Food was yummy!

Simply delicious and a lot of food for the money. My family and I have been to the beaches and Southside Metro Diners & they do NOT disappoint. You can have breakfast all day long! The food is really good and they have a lot of choices. Also, the employees are great. I recommend ordering the Yo Halla On The Square (pic included) as a dessert, but don't go it alone. Sorry for not including pics of other plates. Forgot about it until it was too late. I know, I know... "Amateur!".

First time here, will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Great food and service, depending when you go, you may have to wait to be seated

Phenomenal. Of course what can I say these folks are true " burghers"! Cinnamon Roll pancakes!!! Drop the mic.....lol Really, fat sandwiches, great breakfast, coffee while you wait?! What?! Wait wasn't long enough. Great CS, too. A MUST!

Very busy, food very good, service was super. Menu good selection s offered, Abit pricey for breakfast, that's my thought servings very generous.

Great food! Great service! Chicken and waffles are where its at!

Awesome service food is great and everyone is really friendly.

100% a 5-star diner! Can't believe the service quality given the customer volume. Very personalized experience, delicious food exactly the way we ordered it. Outstanding attention to detail on customization requests and very timely service. Austin certainly treats this like a profession!

Wow - excellent breakfast AND orange juice AND coffee! Soooo delicious - 20 min wait - - loyltd of people waiting - and well worth it! Great shop next door to peruse while waiting!

Good place for breakfast,but wasn't impressed with anything else,my tea was old and tasted like the swamp

I recommend the Rueben sandwich. Very good service.

Disappointed in last visit on July 10. So unusual. Service was great but medium well burger was dry and bread didn't seem as fresh as time before. Fries were not good-not crisp and "off" taste. Not normal for MD!

It's the neighborhood place to go. Happy staff, service supreme, food served hot and plenty of it. Good hot coffee. The breakfast special of the day is outstanding. My heart goes out to all the eateries that have had to lessen the number of tables and clients due to the virus. Hope we soon will be able to enjoy our lives as before.

Since going corporate this place has gone down hill. They are focused on quantity not quality. They serve sandwiches no human can take a bite of, which turns into a hot mess creating an unpleasant experience.

Best home made from scratch food I've had in years. Even the folks next to us were enjoying their meals. I had the meatloaf with mashed red potatoes and gravy. Outstanding!!

They have a burger that has two grilled cheeses for bread. What else is there to say.

This place is either a hit or miss. You can come in and the place smell like mold, get burnt chicken fried in dirty oil, old fries with burnt chicken pices in it that was at the bottom of the fry basket for who knows how long, wait 20 minutes to get your drink, an HOUR or more for your food OR you can have a great server with delicious food. Youlll never know they are not consistent at ALL. Good luck

Great food, terrific service. Be prepared for long waits if you have party greater than 4 people. If you have a larger party, you won't get on seating list until EVERYONE is present!!!!

Been to this location of Metro a couple of times. They're famous for breakfast, but we always seem to find ourselves there at late dinner time.

So the Metro is nothing special to look at - just a couple of rooms with cheap-ish tables and chairs and an open kitchen. Pretty much what you'd expect from anyplace with "diner" in its name.

But the food is very good. The Monte Cristo sandwich is dead-on what I remember from the old Bennigan's restaurants (and since that was a signature item for them, it's truly tasty) and the pot pie is just like mom used to make (if mom made them from scratch. The only "meh" I've had so far are the fries, which tend to be a little dry and mealy.

Service is very good as well. The staff is cheery and quick and you consistently get what you ordered with no mistakes.

Finally, the pricing is really good. My wife and I can eat there and come out quite full for under $30. Good food at a good price with good service is hard to beat.

1st time here and I was impressed. The entire staff was friendly and very upbeat. The kitchen staff were all happy and actually singing together as they worked. This says alot about the management and it says that the employees are happy. I ordered the southwest wrap...it was HUGE and delicious! Definitely coming back

The place was great, was told I had to wait 45 min. But waited maybe 20. The food was great the service was exceptional . I would return again and recommend it to every one

Great service, good food. Plenty of food, you might need a go box when you are done. Prices are good
