Metro Diner

Everyone once in a while we need to go to diner for some comfort food. Today was one of those days. There were a few diners in the area but Metro was the closest one nearby and we stopped in for some food. Burgers was on my mind so a classic cheeseburger with fries was ordered along with some sliders for lady. The burgers were good, meat was tender and not dry. Nice hot fries. The only gripe I had was that it wasn’t too packed but it was busy, food did took a bit long to come out. Service was good. We got seated quick.

The staff is very friendly and there isn’t a long wait for your order. The food is very good and if you order a soda they give you FREE refills. If it isn’t busy, when you’re being seated they would ask you which area you would prefer to be seated in so you are more comfortable. Overall I would recommend going here for tasty food at a good price.

Very nice staff. Very attentive and friendly. Food is good. We just had brunch and it was made well. Clean atmosphere. Good prices. Worth going to.

I wanna order a chicken entree and some steamed veggies for my toddler on phone. The guy on the phone was rude,disrespectful and humiliating!!!! The staff member who was on the phone,has a bad day or I don't know, but his behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable!!!! I asking 3 dishes from the menu, and he said, "- we don't have this" then I asked what kind of dishes you have with chicken, and some veggies, and he said "- we don't do that," he was rude, bossy, and absolutely disrespectful. I ordered from another diner, and they was friendly, and helpful, and served me well. I never ever gonna order, or eat at the Metro Diner again, and I not gonna recommend.

First time here and I was quite disappointed. It usually takes quite a bit for me not to give five stars but the service was very slow and sub-par. It took about 30 minutes to get our food and our waiter, Adam, was lacking in friendliness and attentiveness. On the other hand, the bus boy was quite friendly and helped us more than our waiter. At least the food was good and pretty typical of what you would expect from a diner. Most likely wont be back.

Burgers were good. Although it seemed like we went on a bad day (they were out of alot of things and there was only 1 server) our server , bless her heart managed to stay in good spirits. She was such a good sport and very kind.

This place was good. First time coming..the food was good and the prices werent too bad. It is kid friendly and the servers work very quickly. Didnt wait long for the food which is good especially when you have small children. Good experience overall.

always a pleasant experience eating here. food is cooked well and serve is always friendly and attentive. great neighborhood diner!!!

Food is always great! Breakfast is top tier! Service is always incredibly fast and accurate. Ambiance is very warms and welcoming.

Nice waitress food came out quick. We wanted something healthy and got it. I got chicken Marsala - delicious! Bf got pork chops Came with free soup (pea soup is yum) and salad (honey mustard was delicious) A great deal and we left with enough for another meal the next day. Will be back to try something else.

Metro diner is a great place for lunch! Big portions give you a bang for your buck. The employees recommend the best plates based on your mood. They don't try to upsell, they genuinely want you to have the best experience. I shared one serving of the pita deluxe between two people and it was more than enough and so delicious. Definitely stop in, the wait is quite quick.

Everything the food is really delicious the workers are so nice and respectful and gorge the owner always knows how to greet people and make them feel welcomed and happy to be at this establishment

There's nothing finer than this diner! Small town feel with fast service and really good food. All their soups are just delicious! Looking for homemade comfort soup- this is the place to go.

Good is great and service is good. We have eaten there and take out. Only thing with takeout and I know this is petty but they charge you $.40 for each togo container which I find silly. When we ate there and took left overs home they didn't charge us. We will be back, I just find this to be a silly charge.

Your neighborhood diner that everyone depends on. Great food, good prices & most importantly super friendly service. You can tell this is where the locals come...I've had burgers, omelets, sandwiches, soup.. nearly everything & the food never disappoints. Their burgers are VERY yummy!!!!

This is my go to local diner excellent breakfast eggs pancakes all great The soups change daily and are well made my two favorites are lentil and the vegtable which is served on the weekend Check out the daily lunch and dinner specials Service is prompt and friendly

Slowest diner I've ever been to. We ordered a bowl of soup and a BLT. We waited 30 minutes for soup that we assume should be already made, and a sandwich that requires a few strips of bacon and some lettuce and tomatoes. Pour some soup in a bowl. Slap some mayo on bread, lay some lettuce and tomatoes and 4 or 5 strips of bacon that is already fried and laying in a bowl somewhere in the kitchen and that order should have been out in 7 minutes. 30 minutes is way too long for diner food.

Extremely disappointing I ordered a grilled chicken and somehow I get home and it's actually breaded or floured and fried chicken over the salad. My boyfriend also ordered some sort of grilled chicken with tomato and mozzarella sauce with a side of french fries and wound up with breaded chicken as well. If they don't have what's on the menu, they should let you know ahead of time. We will not be going there again. We tried something different, but we're definitely going to keep with the Glendale diner never had a bad meal from them.

A great neighborhood diner for weekend brunch/breakfast. The food and service is very good....had a great dining experience

I must say. This is the best breakfast I've had in a while. We normally come to metro diner often but today I had a delivery and not only did it come fast, the food was so hot and delish. Perfect! And I'm pregnant so this hits every craving! Thank you

Walked into an empty diner and ordered a simple cheeseburger with fries. An hour later the place is packed and everyone is receiving their food. I told the waitress I was leaving and she already knew, as in she didn't care. Terrible service. Do not recommend.

We are regular Metro customers. Food is always great, but want want to compliment our server, Judy. She is the best; always attentive, kind and patient even on the busiest night when she is working alone. Judy, you are the best; thank you! Priscilla and Paul R.

Service is always great here but the food is pedestrian as my hamburger deluxe was a patty and lacked any flavor.The pancakes are usually very good as the salad is always lacking.The ambience is nice but this diners food is nothing to get excited over.

Always wanted to try it , finally did. Nah. Not for me. Not terrible, just not for me.

the waitress is terrific! the food is really good. the prices are very reasonable. however, the morons behind the counter are nasty, rude, and very thoughtless. they lock the door when it's 9 pm. and have to wait for someone behind the cashier or counter to open the door for you to get out of the restaurant. then, they get nasty when you complain. very stupid

This spot is super busy but we'll worth it as the food is good price the location is in a nice area. And food solid 10. I'm actually impressed

Solid diner. Server was polite and friendly. You can never go wrong with breakfast or lunch at diners. This is a great spot.

Great food and service. Love the ambiance and atmosphere! Definitely will be returning. My co worker and I enjoyed my our brunch together here today :)

Come here and eat this delicious food!!! Third time here - third Romanian steak. Yum My buddy just had some Greek Platter thing and it was awesome. They are giving it away for eighteen bucks. And - shout out - I don't know what nights he works. But, JIMMY THE WAITER is only 20 (I asked) and can wait tables like he's been doing it all twenty years he's been alive. Good food and service. I wish I was still hungry. I'd leave and come back again right now. 8/17/19 - Another great meal at Metro Diner. This time, met Carol. Awesome waitress. She's a hoot. :)

Great diner and good food. Ordered the sunny side up eggs over corned beef hash. Home fries and bacon. Great service will def be back when we're in the neighborhood.

don't come here on a sunday. terrible wait time for food. was sitting at the table for over 1 hr waiting for two plates of eggs. people have other things to do

Worst café ever! The food is disgusting, the portions are small, the prices are to the roof... And their coffee absolutely sucks!!! I bet it's the cheapest coffee they found to sell...

Right around the corner from me , great to just take a walk , and get some breakfast or dinner . I would like to let you very one know their tanker pot roast with potato pancake was omg delicious ! The meat was so tender it was falling apart . It's the best I have ever had . The brisket is also amazing . Five stars to the staff , waiters are great !

Love love love this place. I come here at least once a week . The make owner is so sweet and the staff are great. Very good customer service. They even let me and my study group stay past closing and don't try to rush us out. The food is always cooked great . This is my favorite diner in queens .

Back when I first visited New York their Athenian Omelet saved my life. I had subsisted on a jar of nori (that at 18 I had thought was beef jerky) and candied nuts from friendly street vendors. The balance of the egg and feta cheese changed my southern perspectives on omelets and I will forever be greatful. Please understand this review carries sentiment and I have not been able to visit since, but when you get a chance try their Athenian omelet. Plus their prices, such a relief for a hungry tourist or random passerby.

Come here often and have never had a bad experience. Food is good and comes out fast. Servers are very nice and place is kept clean.

On a recent occasion, a couple of friends and I came in here for lunch. We ordered what we wanted, nothing complicated. I ordered a bowl of chili and a turkey burger with Jalapenos. ( I never received my jalapenos). One of my friends just ordered a soup, and the other ordered soup and fries. (Fries, were forgotten). Upon mentioning this to the waiter , he said; "okay, right away" right away was 15 minutes after we mentioned it for a side order of fries. When he forgot for the third time, about my jalapenos on my burger, I just told him; " please , when you give us the check don't charge me for the jalapenos " I had already finished my burger, so when he looked at my plate, I was confused as to what he was trying to find. He didn't charge us for the fries, but it was not that busy, hale could you for forget it.

Today felt like the kind of day that needed to start off with a trip to the diner. Sometimes (all the time?) you just need good old diner food, you know? I think there isn't much to choose from in my boyfriends area of Ridgewood but then I remembered Metro Diner! It's a bit of a walk but a lovely one and perfect to walk off any meal. We walked to Metro and were led towards a booth (LOVE booths). It didn't take us long to look at menus and happily enough everything was just as delicious as I remembered it. Le Boyfriend ordered the Griddle Deluxe - French toast / Belgian waffles / or pancakes with eggs (scrambled, sausage, ham and bacon with a side of white toast and large orange juice. I just had their fluffy crispy golden sweeten French toast; it's so yummy, no butter and barely any syrup is needed. Of course, I stole some sausage and eggs which were amazing!!! Getting that next time - having major FOMO not having ordered that but glad I tried it. What made this time around amazing was the service. Last time I made a note that the servers constantly asked how that last sip of coffee was and would we want more despite the cup still being more than half full. Seems as if the staff mastered that balance! The way the servers checked up on us was appropriate and non-invasive. That made our meal that much more peaceful. Thanks to the owner and servers who clearly take note on their customers feedback! Hope to be back sooner rather than later next time I'm in Queens!

Pretty good diner. Only put 3 stars because over all food and service is decent. People are friendly. Question is would I come back. Answer : Yes. The back waiter alway tending to my table. Big plus. The food was fulfilling and the food prices are pretty cheap.

Excellent food and customer service! Service is done with a smile! You won't be disappointed!

Ordered two Chicken Souvlaki Platters on Friday . Myself and the other person that ordered it were violently ill this entire weekend . Disgusted and will not be returning . Do not recommend

For someone who hates diners, I actually enjoy metro diner both times. -Coffee was good -salads were amazing -pasta with chicken parm was good There is outdoor seating due to COVID. Definitely will go again.

Typical great Greek diner! Food very good. A nice neighborhood place for breakfast or lunch. Very friendly.

Day two of my tour lead us to this area. I spotted the Metro Diner and asked if we could eat there. My party agreed and we walked over. Not much parking so walking it was a good idea. When we got in I wasn't that impressed. It was messy with items on the table, open ketchup bottles and rips in the cushions of the booths. No one greeted us and we had to seat ourselves while we waited for a waiter to offer use menus and service. Finally when the waiter came he dropped of the menus and disappeared giving us time pick out our orders. When he finally came with our drinks it was time to order. I ordered a omelette and they put the order in. When the food finally came it was time to test it out. The food was delicious, I couldn't believe how good it was. I really enjoyed what I ate. The good food made up for everything else that was wrong. I feel I will go back if I'm in the area. The menu saved them from me never going again!

This place gave me horrible food poisoning. It was either the salmon or the salad. Besides, the place isn't very hygienic and there were still scraps of food left on the silverware from the previous user. Definitely wouldn't come back

Pretty good place. Typical diner fare. I like the breakfast. Favorite thing to get is the burger medium well. Char grilled and delicious with perfectly done fries. Better than 5 guys or anyplace else around that I know of.

This is just a simple diner - you get exactly what you'd expect. Quick, efficient service, lots of coffee refills, and decent prices. The fried egg sandwich is served on the most delicious roll. The Athenian omelette is loaded with feta. The breakfast potatoes were good. The decor isn't very charming but it's fine for what the place is.

It took the bf 15 years to finally come here for breakfast, but we finally did. It's a nice little neighborhood diner that's opened early with a nice and quiet clientele. It's typical diner food with omelets and filtered coffee. Don't expect amazing food or coffee, but you'll be fed with a smile and won't hurt your wallet too much.

So lucky to live just right around the corner from Metro Diner. Vibe is old school, menu is simple and food comes fresh and worth the wait! With that being said, our burger deluxe with a side of guac and a cobb salad has been becoming our go to weekend late lunch rite with the burger patty prepped just right, guacamole buttery, tangy with added cubed tomatoes and the cobb salad rich, fresh and just the way it should be.

Best diner around, I visit this place every once and a while with my kids and they havent ever let us down. Friendly staff and great soup! You can always tella diner by their soup and bacon. Neither are bad here :)

Usually we are satisfied with the food from the Metro Diner. I ordered the chef salad today and was very dissatisfied. Unfortunately, the roast beef was bad and the lettuce was not fresh. I had to throw the entire salad away.

Awesome diner in the heart of Middle Village. Their Belgian waffles are amazing. If you get here before 11 AM, you can get the breakfast special for dirt cheap, which comes with coffee and juice. The juice comes in a tiny glass, but hey, it's something. The dinner items are also great. It does get crowded at times, but the service is pretty good and the food can't be beat at these prices.

Good local diner, walking distance from my house, tried the strip steak once, it was good. Always a good place to go for a burger & fries or breakfast. Never disappointed.

My family and I heard about this diner through family friends. The food quantity and quality is always fulfilling! Never leave feeling hungry, however, some of the plates could definitely use more seasoning since they are sometimes monotone.

Once again a perfect order. Well down keep up the good work. Nothing worse then getting the wrong order. This place does not allow that! Quality control is on point and the food was very good. I call and give them my order, they ask my phone number and my address comes up. Easy! The bacon cheeseburgers are insane. Be sure to ask for crispy bacon. I have ordered many times from this place and it's always perfect.

Came here for breakfast and it was Decent food. Decent service. No complaints!! The back waiter serving the coffee was very attentive, made sure we had coffee in our cups and since I love coffee I appreciated the service.The amount of food was very fulfilling.

This diner is ok, not great. I've seen better. As with most diners, I would only ever order your typical diner items here: burgers, gyros, wraps, specialty sandwiches. Breakfast is meh, the eggs aren't fluffy or flavorful, the home fries could use more seasoning and more onions and peppers. Would be nice if they had more muffin and bagel options. The cheesecake is pretty good, when they have it. As with most diners, I do not recommend any of the dinners, most of them look thrown together like the cook was on a tight deadline. You would think a diner typically owned by Greeks would make decent spinach pie...the spinach pie here tasted like it was being saved for use in a fall out shelter. The salads look like a circus tent of ginormous vegetables, like those clumsy, thrown together jokes of a salad you typically find in a pizza place. Strangely enough, the pizza place a few stores down from them has better seasoned salads than this diner. Bottom line, you don't go to diners for anything other than simple American guilt food, and this place is no exception.
