By far the best brunch I ever had Period. The chicken and waffles were absolutely incredible and the steak bowl was phenomenal with the sauce that was in it complemented the bowl that had my taste buds dancing. great location and ambiance as well
Okay, so I don't have any pictures of their food but trust me this place is excellent as you can see by both of our plates being completely empty. Check the other reviews out and look at their photos of food. You won't be disappointed this is a chain but it is a small chain and in my opinion their food is spectacular. I recommend using their online check-in ahead of time because it's definitely busy on the weekends or prime time. We will definitely be back. Great service and great food.
Our team stopped here on our way to a weekend race. Our group of 7 was seated quickly, and our orders were taken. I chose the grit cakes, and man, it was one of the best meals that I've had in a very long time. The food and service here was great, and the diner decor was festive and fun. Hope to come back the next time I'm in Tampa!
We got seated after a wait of 5 minutes, our coffees and water arrived quickly, the coffee was fresh. We ordered the vegi omelet and the western omelet, and both were cooked perfectly and were big and very good, we got our breakfast very quick although the diner was very busy. My daughter could only eat half of hers, and I could barely finish mine. A great breakfast and recommend highly.
Absolutely enjoyed my dish of fried grits. Sauce was creamy and seasoned without being too rich. Large portion sizes (2 size options, large pictured), could be shared. Shrimp were tender.
They also serve Strawberry or apple butter. Well known for chicken and waffles.
First time visit to Metro Diner! Average prices. $10-15 a person roughly. Food was good, nothing spectacular but large portions. Good place to go with family or a group of friends. Everyone in our party ordered breakfast food and enjoyed it. The huevos rancheros was a little different and almost like breakfast nachos, still good tho. Service was good and the food came out pretty quickly! Not necessarily recommending it to my friends as a new breakfast spot, but we definitely would return in the future.
Food and service was amazing. Server really helped guide choices and didn't fail. Highly recommend trying their eggs Benedict with their fried chicken.
Came here on a Saturday morning around 9. Service, food and atmosphere were all outstanding. There were only two of us and we didn’t have a wait. Our server was extremely nice and attentive. Food came out in a timely manner and was delicious. Got the chicken and waffles with strawberry cream. Very good portions for the price and get to choose if you want chicken boneless or bone-in. Also got the San Francisco eggs Benedict that were also great although the egg could have been more runny. Overall great experience and will be coming back!
From the outside it looks ordinary but come inside and let the friendly upbeat servers help you select an Extraordinary meal. The food is seasoned beautifully, the portions are ample and don't be afraid to try one of fantastic daily specials. Hint hint....the raspberry tea is refreshing. Their chicken-n-waffles deserves a trophy 🏆, served with a side of their special honey & hot sauce to dip your chicken is sure to delight every taste bud you possess. The Metro is always my first & last stop on my monthly trips to Tampa!!
Came here around 9:30am on a Saturday. It wasn't busy when my friend and I went. There was plenty of parking. The staff was really nice and gave good recommendations. I ordered huevos rancheros. It was different but it was really good. There was a lot of food so I had the left overs. The ambience was good, we were able to hear each other speak.
Love the Blueberry waffle with strawberry and banana on top! San Fran Benny is also super good! Casey was the best server and very sweet. Don’t forget to try the mimosas!
Very good! From walking in to walking out was less than an hour on Sunday right before Memorial Day. The place was packed but was seated in ten minutes. Food tasted great. Had our food 10 minutes after ordering. I had the Southwest bowl. Reasonably priced. This place is a well oiled machine.
I enjoyed their breakfast. I got the Carnitas Scramble Bowl & thought it was one of the best breakfast platters Ive ever received.
Ate at Metro diners before and this was great as always! Breakfast was delicious and our server Billie was super! See you next time!
This sweet potato waffle & chicken served with the cinnamon brown sugar butter with pecans was superb to say the least. Also pictured, is the Belgian waffle with strawberry butter.
Crispy, juicy chicken dipped in the hot maple syrup for a perfect ending to my time in Tampa.
The service somehow, better than the food! Thoroughly enjoyed my time here
I heard about this place and decided to check it out. I stop on for breakfast, I have chicken and waffles, the food arrived promptly and got as well plentiful. I will go again. Thanks for a great experience.
Billy Jo was a great waitress. She made sure me and my best friend were taken care of. The food came out fast and was exceptional.
