Metro Diner and Bar

We came here looking for a place that took cash and after being scammed by our hotel near by. It was a short distances walk maybe about 7 minutes. When we approached the diner we were a bit confused about their accessibility because we had baby in a stroller and thought we needed to climb the stairs to get in. Luckily there was a staff member outside that told us to go around the corner and there was a side door that'll let us in. Once in we were greeted and asked if we needed access to the elevators. The lower half sort of looks like a club/bar. The top Half is the diner. Once uptairs we were quickly seated and asked what we'd like to drink. Our only bad comment is that our server didn't ask for id when we ordered drinks. The food was great I order a sub and my daughter ordered the chicken Alfredo. We both enjoyed our meals. The music wasn't loud, actually we appreciate how low it was. Overall our experiences was great. Great food great service,great experience. Would definitely go back.

Solid Experience & Great Service I enjoyed the food—nothing really stood out, but everything tasted the way it was supposed to. The waitress was kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. The fries were delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. I also appreciated the nice seating view. Overall, a solid and satisfying meal!

Emmanuel was great, his smile is infectious. Food was exactly as advertised. Typical greasy spoon diner and that's a compliment.

We’re here to see the aquarium and got in late so booked it to this place not knowing what to expect. GWAD DAMN this place slaps hard. Ima Texan and I ordered the steak. They absolutely killed it with the perfect medium rare. Fries seasoned and fried to perfection. Service was superb and friendly. There was also entertainment with all the karaoke going on in the joint. Do yourself a favor local and outta town come here and get your grub on!

We walked in and got seated. Our server didn't really give any kind of greeting, just served us some waters. Luckily we were ready to order because she seemed like she was ready for us to be ready. We received our food in a timely manner and it was very good! She didn't come back to check on us after awhile. We were finally about to ask another server to get a drink refill but she came around. Got a refill, gave us our check and that was it. If it were busier and she was with other customers we would've definitely understood being in the industry ourselves. Every time we looked for her she was standing around on the phone. The food was good though, with nice portions.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 If I could give Metro Diner 100 stars, I would. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Let me set the stage: it’s a hot Saturday afternoon in downtown Atlanta. We’re in the middle of a 100-person MARTA bar crawl (yes, you read that right — one hundred people), and Metro Diner is our next stop. Only one problem: we showed up completely unannounced around 1 p.m., and the bar area wasn’t open yet. Most places would’ve politely turned us away. Not Metro Diner. The owner — an absolute legend — literally ran downstairs, saw us turning to leave, and stopped us in our tracks. “Don’t go anywhere. We’ll open for you.” Within minutes, he had rallied a team, got bartenders behind the bar, and personally opened up the space for our massive group like it was no big deal. That kind of hospitality? You don’t see it anymore. Not in 2025. Not anywhere. The drinks? Delicious. Strong. Exactly what you want on a bar crawl. The bartenders? Absolute gems. Friendly, fast, and fun. The vibe? Immaculate. You step inside and it’s like a time machine back to a golden era of Atlanta nightlife. Huge space, glowing with vintage charm. The second I walked in I thought, how have I stayed away so long? It’s got that iconic “Atlanta staple” feel you can’t fake — it just is. I’ve been here before for a night out (yes, karaoke nights are elite) and now I’m counting the days until I’m back. This place isn’t just a bar. It’s a community landmark, a sanctuary for good times and even better people. I cannot recommend Metro Diner enough. If you want true Southern hospitality, a damn good drink, and a vibe that makes you feel like you’re part of Atlanta history — this is your spot. Period. End of story.

It was a great time they had a DJ and it was karaoke it was nice it was noisy but hey you come to have fun and eat anyways

My wife and I needed some late night food and a break from the car on a road trip and stopped in here on a Sunday night and I am glad that we did. Completely unfamiliar to ATL and on our first visit, this worked out perfectly. It was a cold night and late so we were kinda scraping for a place that was open, had food (that wasn't fast food) and had adult beverages. We walked upstairs as we were planning on ordering food and the downstairs is the bar. The manager was super friendly and sat us down immediately even though they were almost full. We decided to split the chicken quesadilla and the onion rings which were both phenomenal. Points to whatever they are seasoning their chicken in. Also thank you for the generous helping of fresh avocado and jalapeños that came with it. Service staff was great! The view from the top floor over looking the block is really cool. Great place for after the pub!

This morning we enjoyed a relaxing breakfast at Metro Diner & Bar in downtown Atlanta, and it was the perfect way to start the day. We were seated on the second floor by the window, which gave us a great view overlooking the streets below. With DragonCon in full swing, it was extra fun to sip coffee and watch the colorful crowd of cosplayers and attendees walking by--it gave the whole experience a lively, unique vibe. The menu has plenty of hearty options, from omelets to classic plates. I went with the two egg classic breakfast which came with egg my way, bacon, ham or sausage and choice of toast, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and filling. Service was friendly and efficient even with the busy convention weekend crowds. The staff kept everything moving while making sure we had what we needed. If you're in downtown Atlanta--especially during DragonCon--Metro Diner & Bar is a great breakfast spot for good food, quick service, and prime people-watching. They serve breakfast all day and have karaoke at night.

Second year coming to Dragon Con and second year hitting up the Diner. Service continues to be terribly slow. Make that first glass of water last because good luck getting a second. Family was done eating and I had to send them on while I waited for our waitress to return to the table and then for the check to actually show up and then for the sign copy to show up. It took a while... Food was fantastic though! Started off with mozzarella sticks that my daughter said, "killed the cheese pull test!" They were really good. Daughter had the chicken and waffles. The waffle was amazing! I don't say that lightly; I eat lots of waffles. It was cooked to perfection and just a hint of vanilla. I had the chicken quesadilla. It was good, nothing spectacular. I'd get it again. I'll continue to come back every year as the food is really really good but I sure hope they hire more staff!

Calamari was good. Bartenders are nice & accommodating. Drinks are a bit overpriced. Karaoke was fun. Cool spot to have a good time & meet friendly people. I enjoyed mysel both nights.

Little bit of a dive restaurant. The main floor wasn't open for breakfast. Signs directed me up the stairs of this multi floor office building. View was sweet as I watched the Atlanta bustle from my table. The coffee was perfect and yes, some restaurants serve u drinkable coffee. I had the gravy and two biscuits at $7.50. Biscuits were fresh homemade. Flaky and warm, I was tempted to re-order. Service was spot on. Note that 18% gratuity was automatic and thus no real need to tip additional. (

My friend and I were in Atlanta for a few days and we literally came here for dinner two nights in a row. He's British and really wanted to experience American diner culture and this is probably about as close as you can get in downtown Atlanta. They have a vast menu and plenty to choose from. One night I had the Caesar salad and the other night I had one of the chicken wraps. Everything was pretty good diner fair. When I say pretty good I mean for a diner it was good but definitely diner food. So nothing too special but mostly consistent. Ambience is very '80s or 90s looking and you can tell it hasn't changed much since then. Some good views out the window of Peachtree Center Avenue. Service was always quick and easy. Staff was friendly but always in a hurry. Overall what else can I say except everything here was consistent and tasted good enough and prices were pretty good for downtown. You get what you get and that gives it five stars in my point of view!

I had sweet tea. Did not like it because it tasted like syrup.. I had the 2 eggs combo with turkey sausage hash brown and grits My friend had the metro plate which was salty And mine was just normal. Nothing special

Solid spot. I was in town for a conference and came here for breakfast. It was pretty empty so I was seated right away. Ordered pretty quickly and got my food just as fast. Food was solid. I like their hash browns and eggs were cooked perfectly. I'm sure this place can get loud and rowdy when it fills up. Check it out.

We were visiting Atlanta during our visit earlier this month and stopped into the diner for breakfast before heading to the aquarium. I want to specifically shout out to our server Emmanuel, who was great. He was friendly, anticipated our needs and always had a smile on his face. The food was good and sitting next to the window allowed us to watch the coming and going of people on the street.

Don't get the steak. It's bland. And if you ask for generous seasoning, they ignore you. Everything is a bit subpar, but if you're starving then it is a choice you can make.

This place was cool. It was packed and for the crowd they do a good job getting you in and seated. They have music playing and the food didn't take long. The server was nice. The god was okay, could use a bit more seasoning but it was decent.

This may have been a better experience if we were doing karaoke. We instead came for food and drinks because they were open and many places close early in downtown ATL. The food was barely over fast food. The mozzarella sticks were no where near as good as sonic. The buffalo chicken sand-which was ok but definitely nothing to write home about. It was very loud which again i get if your main purpose is going to do karaoke. The service was ok. Everything was kinda sticky. Just not a huge fan but props for being open late.

I've been coming to this restaurant for years and this is the first time my food tasted like trash. I ordered a veggie omelette with cheese, cheddar cheese and some other stuff grits with cheese that tasted watery. The only thing that tasted really good was the apple juice and that wasn't prepared it was poured from a bottle probably I'm not giving up on this restaurant but today was a bad day for me here. I like the fact that it's open for 24 hours so I can get food anytime I want.

Meh. Dirty, grimy. Food was hit and miss! I say that because my food was a mess and my dining partner's food was a hit. I ate her food more than my own! How can one mess up a BLT? Sigh. I ended up eating my partner's pesto chicken sandwich. She had a huge salad and a chicken sandwich, which was really good. My food was awful. I didn't eat it. Service was fair, even though the place was busy. Our server was bubbly, friendly and did a decent job, although she saw that I didn't touch my food and had zero comments about it. I also didn't complain about it because I didn't feel like bothering with it a second time after sending it back because it was the wrong food order to begin with. We were there for a conference and a bunch of people ended up here from our conference because it was close proximity to our hotel. I overheard people from our group complaining before we even ordered. That should've been my sign to get up and go someplace else. I will definitely not eat here again nor will I recommend it.

This Dinner is awesome so needless to say when im in town always make sure to visit this gem. If you have a concert or any other special occasion let me tell you a little secret. Metro Dinner Bar period. After a night of shenanigans come and enjoy delicious food with Atlanta flare and let the crowds to go away before you head back to your accommodations with full belly and memories for a lifetime specially with big performers like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Madonna, Janet Jackson. You can thank me later. :) Here is the 411 a few steps from The Westin, The Ritz Carlton or Ellis Hotel my got to places to stay visiting Hotlanta. Metro Diner & Bar is located in the downtown hotel district at 229 Peachtree Street NW, Suite B-17. It serves both locals and visitors. The restaurant has a unique setup with a traditional diner on the upper floor and a karaoke bar with a dance floor on the lower level. It's open extended hours, from 6 am to 4 am on most days, and even later on weekends. Reviews highlight the vibrant atmosphere, especially during karaoke nights and with the upbeat DJ and dance floor. The menu features classic diner fare, including breakfast dishes, burgers, wraps, and sandwiches, alongside appetizers like Cheese Stix and Nachos. They also have lunch and dinner favorites such as Fried Chicken & Waffles, BBQ ribs, and Metro Shrimp & Grits. While some describe the food quality as average, many praise the good service and the overall fun experience, especially for late-night dining and drinks. The bar offers a wide selection of drinks, with some reviewers describing the cocktails as "solid" or "tasty". However, some have noted that the drinks can be small for the price. The establishment has been praised for its fast service and friendly staff. One reviewer specifically mentioned the amazing service received from a bartender named Evan. In summary, the Metro Diner & Bar in downtown Atlanta is a lively spot known for its diner food, full bar, and karaoke entertainment, making it a popular choice for both dining and a fun night out. The pancakes are delicious so don't forget to order them.

I'll give this a confusing 3 star rating. Why? Because I'm really not sure how to describe or feel about this place. I only came here once. It was 1130pm at night. I got in late from a flight in and it was in walking distance from my hotel and the kitchen was open. I walked in on a Monday night and the place was lit. I came and thought it was a club the way people were lit on a Monday night. Dance floor had everyone on it dancing. It was karaoke night and everyone was having the time of their lives. The lighting is low lit. The main lights were off and the place was illuminated with blue and purple lights. You walk up the stairs to get to the seating area / to order to go. The place is sneakingly bigger than it appears. The seating opens up and it resembles any other diner seating. Just a bit more cooler with the lights and ambiance. Took my food to go. Got wings and a Buffalo chicken sandwich. The sandwich was decent. The wings were seasoned real well. But probably a little bit too much salt. I realized at that time of the day this was as best as it was going to get. Price was meh. For it being where the restaurant was in terms of location. It wasn't bad. I walked here but Atlanta traffic is notoriously bad. I didn't see any private parking so you'll have to find street parking or park in the nearby parking garage

Stopped at Metro Diner & Bar to grab breakfast one morning after visiting the nearby Atlanta Passport Agency. The breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese, paired with pancakes and turkey sausage was freshly made and tasty. i was also able to order a hot chocolate with whipped cream that was great. Reagan, the server was pleasant, attentive, and helpful. It was typical diner fare for breakfast, but i appreciated that all of the elements were made with care. The only downside is that i noticed the restaurant could use a deep clean. i make it a personal practice to only go to restaurants that have good health code ratings, and thankfully Metro Diner & Bar's recent standing show no violations. However, the floors didn't look very clean, and there was noticeable grime on the windows. They could pay a bit more attention to making the dining room a bit brighter as well. It's clear that this restaurant has been around a long time - it may be time for some deep cleaning and a general refresh/sprucing up. Overall, however, a decent place for a good breakfast!

Recently stayed at the Westin and this was open late and walking distance. It was almost 1am when me and my party of 3 arrived. It was crowded, but we were seated within 10 minutes of arriving. They had karaoke going on so the entrance/first floor was lit. Sat upstairs and still could hear anything and enjoyed it. I ordered an omelet, a mix of meat & veggies and it was DELICIOUS! The hashbrowns weren't cooked hard like I usually like, but they were good.

Went on a super busy night, very crowded. Waiter had a bunch of tables. Took our drink orders, but then waited 20 mins for a drink. I ordered pulled pork sandwich and fries. Fries were iced cold. Friendly staff

large, bright and colorful interior. Classic Diner vibe. Got the basics. Great fluffy omelette.. even the grits are good according to this southern gal. Attentive servers

There are very few decent dining/ breakfast options in the greater hotel plaza, but Metro Diner offers some refuge. I ordered the fried steak and eggs with grits. I'm new to grits but these were very obviously under-flavored and difficult to consume. At night Metro turns into a large karaoke bar and becomes extremely lively.

Casual restaurant located with in walking distance of several downtown hotels. There's quite a few stairs to enter the restaurant also to go up to the dining area. You enter in on the lower level which houses the bar, where they were doing karaoke. Upon arriving to the top level where the hostess station was located. We were immediately greeted and seated. The food was okay, they give you really large portions, however my Alfredo Pasta wasn't the best. Edible but definitely giving diner food 5/10. My cocktail was a 10/10 though.

Food was okay quality and service was super slow even though there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. The vibe and decor was fun though, but I'm not tempted to come back.

Great food! First we were doing Karaoke then dancing and then food! i mean it's like one stop! I will say the food was authentic and delicious.

I did NOT expect the vibe this place had based on its name and the look from outside. But once you walk in there is so much life and fun! The lights add a cool look and the music is great. There was karaoke and people could also dance too. The drinks were good; we ordered watermelon Red Bull margaritas. To eat we ordered chicken tenders, it was sooo delicious and the perfect finger food for a night out. The service was great despite it being busy and overall we had a a great time!

I was a conference and went to Metro for breakfast one morning. I would say it's a little overprices for what it is, but the portions are HUGE. There was no way I was going to finish everything. I had eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast. Everything was flavorful. The service was good. My server checked back on my several times. Here's my concern. I had recently had some knee pain and had to climb stairs to get to the restaurant (I know first world problems). Then, I had to climb more stairs to get to my table. If I were to go back today, that would be just fine, but when I was there it wasn't. I'm hoping they have an elevator somewhere and I just didn't see it because my experience was not ADA compliant. They need to make sure that an elevator or some other form of lift is conspicuously marked. Otherwise, my experience here was good.

Its right in middle of downtown area so very accessible. Diner vibe wise its just ok. Food is ok too. For the money you pay food is not that great! Portions are reasonable! Another turn off was dirty glasses and utensils. Overall environment was not that bad!

Was in town from California with my husband for One Music Fest and stayed at the Marriott Marquis across the street so decided to try Metro Bar since it was walking distance. The vibe was everything! My husband ordered biscuits and gravy and they were so fluffy and delicious! Puts California biscuits and gravy to shame!! Our waitress was quick and on it. Service was fast! Will definitely return when we are back in town!

We were in a group of about 35 with one server. Took at least hour to get food. I was not given an itemized ticket showing gratituity. I gave server a tip which I wouldn't have had I known it was already included! Sad way to take advantage of customers!

Worst onion rings I ever had in my life. The outside was super hard and the inside was mush. The "onion" inside was just slightly onion flavored goo and it honestly tasted like the most generic, cheap, frozen onion rings they serve at six flags or a school cafeteria. I was here at 1am and the food is not very good. The fettucine alfredo was also SUPER watery and not very flavorful. I had an omelet at breakfast and it was decent enough for a diner, but the other food, especially the onion rings were terrible. Also, maybe because I'm from the northeast, but I expect diners to have a much bigger menu. Another complaint is the lack of vegetarian options. I'm really sick of impossible or beyond burgers as one of the only options at restaurants in the south. I'd appreciate other options, especially since beyond and impossible burgers upset my stomach. Service was very nice and the wat staff were extremely kind, the food was just not good though.

Went here after a long night of partying because it was referred as a after spot eatery... unbeknownst to us they were only offering to go orders ... review said calamari was fire so that n tried the wings and strawberry cheesecake .. calamari was NOT to die for not even worth stubbing a toe... i had better the night before from a hookah lounge named Vanity my cousin also agreed the same. Also i paid for all flat wings which noticed once back to room i didn't get what I paid for.. immediately called them no answer left a message no callback .

I tried emailing the restaurant, got no response. The phone outgoing message says karaoke begins at 8:30, but actually begins at 9:30. DJ is rude and an ageist. Service and food were great. Here is my email sent to them that has yet to get a response: Letter to Metro Diner and Bar To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent experience at your establishment. On Saturday, September 13th, I visited your restaurant with the intention of singing karaoke, which I had confirmed the previous night with your staff. I was looking forward to it, having had a very pleasant dinner with an excellent server, Queen, who was both kind and attentive. However, my experience with your DJ that evening was incredibly frustrating and felt discriminatory. I approached him to sign up and gave him my name, Steve "The King," and my first song choice. He immediately dismissed it, saying it was a "slow" song and that management instructed him not to play those on a Saturday. I offered a second song, and he refused that one for the same reason. I explained that I was a paying customer who had just finished dinner and was there specifically for karaoke, but he continued to refuse my requests. He even suggested that if I wanted to sing something by artists I was unfamiliar with, my songs would be acceptable. This entire interaction, along with his dismissive attitude, felt like a clear case of age discrimination. As a 60-year-old man, it was evident that he was judging my song choices based on my perceived age. I am requesting a full refund for my meal and drinks from that evening, minus the tip. More importantly, I believe your DJ needs to be retrained on your establishment's policies regarding customer service and discrimination. I hope that this can be a learning opportunity for him. I believe he should be suspended from his duties until this training is completed. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably. I have already consulted with an attorney who agrees that this was a case of age discrimination, and if this issue is not addressed and the DJ remains in this role upon my return, I will have no other option but to pursue legal action against your establishment. Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.

Very nice breakfast place. Is bigger than it looks so wait isn't very long. Our food was very good and our server was good.

This place... if you out late and want food or a drink music stop by it's open late food tasteless, drinks weak including fountain drinks,maybe needs an update to inside. For the amount of people that stops by seems like it would be more restrooms, and more waitress, they seem to get unfocused when it's busy in there and they don't know which way to go. Also All the homeless stand out front waiting for you to come out to ask for your leftovers.. or a cigarette

Came by myself during a work trip. Great service by Tim, very good turkey club, awesome seasoned fries! Quiet ambiance due to being a weekday in the evening. Thank you for taking care of me!

A nice diner and service is good. We stopped for lunch. A lot going on and people hustling about. Food was good and in line with many diners.

"Metro Diner & Bar" underperformed. From the staff, to the look, to the food. Nothing made me feel like they had any southern hospitality. When we got in, we looked over the selection of cakes to see if we wanted any, the gentleman behind the counter was extremely rude when we asked questions. So we decided to sit, however no one came over to tell us if we seat ourselves or wait to be seated. After a hostess came over and said follow me. She sat us and left. We waited a few minutes for a waitress and while we waited I took a good look around. The building was a bit of a mess and a lot was out of place, this should not be the standard in dining. The waitress finally came over and took our order. After a brief wait, the food came. However we couldn't eat because silverware was missing. We flagged the waitress down and she quickly grabbed some. After while eating my lasagna wasn't the best. It was tough in some spots and lacked sauce. Also, something strange, my brother shared his pasta with me. I tried the chicken and it was dry, it also lacked flavor. I was completely disappointed in my meal. The garlic bread was the only good thing. Last, when they dropped the check, they charged a 18% gratuity on top of the bill. That was strange. Anyway, I definitely won't return, there's a lot this place needs to fix to be up to standard.

I'm sorry. This place was soooo grimy, we had to leave. We walked in, paused at the grimy steps...the hostess spots us, warmly greeted. We feel embarrassed to leave, so we get seated. The more we look around, the grungier it looks! Had to pay for our tea and leave. Oh and the "sweet tea"? Disgusting

Easy 5/5 stars. Partner ordered a classic burger and I ordered a breakfast burrito. The burger was simple and fulfilling, therefore extremely delicious according to them. I had to try a little piece and couldn't help but agree. The burrito was filled to the brim with all of my favorite veggies and was SUPER well-spiced. The staff were so incredibly polite and respectful. I'm a sucker for the retro diner aesthetic and this place has it. Will return frequently.

the food was great, a little bit expensive. the service was wonderful and the whole restaurant is super beautiful! not to mention they're open pretty much 24/7. made our trip to atlanta even better

Loved that this place was open late and we were able to be seated right away. We loved the diner/bar experience here. Karaoke and bar was downstairs and the dining experience upstairs-not sure if it is wheelchair accessible. The food did not disappoint and our server was attentive but not overly attentive-if that makes sense. lol. The prices were reasonable too. I have never been in a restaurant with a live DJ inside and I must say, it was a great vibe. The only thing was that it was loud and I had a hard time hearing my family when they talked, as well as our server. It could be where we were seated which was near the bar. I would definitely come here again. Good food and good vibes.

I needed something good to eat late night, so I looked up some places and Metro Diner popped up. The first thing I saw was the shrimp Philly and my mind was made up from there! This place is downtown. I don't like downtown Atlanta, but I got over it. No parking of course and sketchy behavior lol. Went inside and the place was packed, mostly because there was a special event downtown. They were doing live karaoke, which was fun and kept customers entertained while they waited. I order my food for pickup on Uber eats and got there after the pickup time, but it wasn't ready for another 20-25 minutes. The employees were patient and kind enough about it, though. While I waited, I checked out the cake display and wow! The cakes looked delicious and fresh, even at this time of night. When I finally got my food, it looked amazing. Sadly, the fries were soggy and my sandwich fell apart, probably because everything was sitting for a while and it steamed up. The flavors were there though, and I was satisfied. I'll keep this place in mind for future late night cravings or event let outs, but it's not at the top of my list because of location and wait times.

The breakfast was perfect, just what you'd hope from a good diner. Fast and cooked to order. Service is very good and the ambiance is fun. We sat overlooking the street but could also see into the atrium bar with lots of TVs. Kind of pricey but it's downtown Atlanta. It's appropriately priced. Be aware that 18% gratuity is included in your bill!!

My boyfriend and I ate here yesterday. When he asked if they had root beer the waitress said she did not know what kind of alcoholic drinks they had and brought us the drinks menu. Then he asked if they had fountain drinks. She said she did not know so we both got waters. When the food came out a gnat kept flying around my plate. I kept having to swat it away. It disappeared and I thought nothing of it until I looked in my water and there it was floating. I ordered the grilled chicken panini. I ate only half my sandwich and not even half of my fries and my boyfriend had only ate half of his fries. The waitress asked if we would like a to-go box and my boyfriend said yes. She brought the to-go boxes when she brought the receipt for me to sign. While I was signing the receipt she grabbed our plates without me noticing and discarded our food even though she knew we wanted to take it with us and had even brought us boxes and a bag to put the boxes in. There was only one other couple in the whole restaurant so it wasn't like she was in a rush to clean the table. I am not one to complain but I spent $63 on an appetizer and two entrees and did not even get to eat half of it. I am definitely not one to complain but the whole experience was terrible.

Warning on nuts: the cheesecake flavors look innocent, but some are crusted with things that contain nuts (I think). Came by late evening on a weekday and it was relatively empty. Nice live music playing near the bar on the first floor. We got seated upstairs and were brought menus quickly. Food also came out pretty quickly - five dishes within twenty minutes. I had the patty melt. It was a good portion, with a nice helping of fries that came out hot and crispy. The flavors were salty with a lot of seasoning, very much Southern comfort style. I enjoyed my dinner and my table did as well, with the ribs also getting good reviews. Our waitress unfortunately wasn't able to give many details on the cheesecake safety for someone with a nut allergy. I went with the plain cheesecake. This thing is massive. One slice fed all five of us with a few bites each. It looks soft like a Japanese cheesecake, but it is quite rich and thick. Highly recommend a slice to split with people. Nice that they add gratuity to the menu price. Wish more places did that.

Good food, very reasonable prices, and good service. The store is conveniently located in downtown and definitely beat all other super expensive places we tried during our business trip. We did not try their desserts because the food was so good and filling, but I really liked how they looked!

So one of few open restaurants on Memorial Day this was local to our downtown hotel. Good food, great service and delicious desserts. My wife's grits were great, perfectly cooked and she enjoyed the country fried steak. My pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Bacon, sausage and eggs provided enough protein to get me going. The 2 story eatery has the diner up top and the bar at street level. Open since 2006 this place has been around awhile. The desserts caught our attention upon entry. Would visit again.

Metro Diner is what you would expect a 3 star Yelp restaurant experience to entail. The restaurant itself has 3 levels of seating and encapsulates typical diner ambiance. Our waitress was attentive, kind and quick to answer our questions. Our meal was satisfying. I ordered the Gyro sandwich and they were happy to allow hash browns as a substitute for my fries. The Gyro was tasty. The pita bread with nicely toasted and the homemade Tzatziki sauce was the highlight of the dish. If your thinking of ordering the hash browns be sure to ask for them crispy unless you like them soft. Overall the service and experience was nice but the food was slightly overpriced.

First- subpar food. Your standard diner food... nothing to write home about. But enough to write this review. Second- Be sure to ask for an itemized receipt. If not you will not know they have already factored in a tip of 18% to your bill. They failed to provide the bill that showed the already added tip. 18% FACTORED IN FOR DINER FOOD!!! Not to mention there was only two of us, not a party! Be so for real. Third- $8 orange juice. Enough said. Do not recommend this place of deceit.
