Gainesville Eats – Metro Diner
This is a classic American diner in town, and you can feel its old-school vibe as soon as you walk in. Most of the customers are seniors, which adds to that cozy, nostalgic feel 😊. 🍽 What Makes It Stand Out Huge Portions & Cheap Prices: The servings are massive, and the prices are super budget-friendly. But this does mean the service is a bit lacking—there are only 2 servers in the whole restaurant, and they’re not the most attentive. For example, they brought our drinks without straws! Authentic American Fare: It’s way better than IHOP in my book. I ordered the Chicken Pot Pie—it was so big, I took half of it home for another meal. 🥤 A Must-Try Drink Their Cold Brew Sweet Tea is amazing! I’ve never seen this at other diners—it has a light, milky tea flavor that’s really refreshing. Definitely give it a try if you go. 💰 Final Info It’s a no-frills spot (the kind people call a “hole-in-the-wall”), but the food is solid. The average cost per person is under $15—total value for money. If you’re into classic American diner food, this place is worth checking out! #ShoutOutLocalEats #DateNightRestaurants #ValentinesDay #ValentinesDayDateSpots #TreasureRestaurantShares #TrattoriaGiorgio
