UPDATE: Although a few years ago we loved this diner, the price has significantly soared and the food quality has dropped. My favorite plate was the turkey with fixings that included a really nice roll, but the last time we went and they forgot my roll, when I mentioned it the waitress told me that hadn’t done rolls with that meal in over two years. I knew she was not forthcoming because we had only been frequenting this establishment for about two years and I had ordered the meal several times. We have stopped going to this diner for that reason, and a few others. The last time we went, our lunch cost for 2 people was over 60.00 which was crazy since it was our regular meals as before and I didn’t even order a drink. Sorry Metro, but you’re off our list of favorite places. loved this place, will definitely be going back again. I had the shepherd pie and the gravy was amazing. My husband had the meatloaf dinner and just about wiped out his whole plate. my sister and brother-in-law both had salads and they love them but they're huge plates so be very hungry when...
Read moreVisited Metro Diner for the very first time this afternoon..
I was served by a young man named Julian. He was super pleasant, conversational, and seemed to enjoy himself as he made his way around the restaurant, serving other customers and doing other tasks typically fulfilled by wait staff..
I opted for the pot roast, which was featured on the monthly specials board.. It was delivered to my table hot and fresh and amply portioned..
The roast portions themselves were fork tender and had great flavor. The mashed potatoes underneath and the brown gravy were both good, too..
The celery and onions were cut a bit bigger than what I am used to, which made them more difficult to manage than had they been cut a bit smaller.. The carrots, while also cut bigger than I expected, were more easily managed..
All in all, the pot roast earned a solid 4 out of 5 for me while the service and the restaurant itself get a solid 5 out of 5..
I will definitely return to Metro Diner in order to sample the fried chicken.. And I would like an opportunity to try their breakfast...
Read moreWhen the owner is there... All severs are happy to meet everyone that comes through the door... Today , I came by for lunch and was over looked for service and then I had to ask a lady that was leaving to find who is working my area... It was the server that walked pass me 4 times and didn't speak.... Then she didn't hear anything I said which cause me to wait an additional 25 minutes and I had to leave... When others walked in and was seated, she rushed to them in less than 4 minutes.... I waited 9 minutes before I was even acknowledged... I spoke with the manager that is in charge and they said they will talk to the server and she is New.... With everything that's going on right now, understand that every restaurant needs customers and cash..... One color everyone should be concerned about , and it's green.... Money...
To rush and serve other humans and disregard me as a human isn't fair... I seen 2 older Black grandmother waiting patiently and no one checking on them either...
I left after waiting 20 minutes and no update..
