Metro Diner History

Serving Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner since 1992.

Metro Diner’s story began in 1938 when the building that would become the first location opened in Jacksonville, Florida. Officially branded in 1992, Metro Diner quickly became the go-to local restaurant for comforting classics and reimagined favorites.

  • Original Metro Diner, Guy Fieri, Chef Mark Davoli

    With the help of Master Chef Mark Davoli and his family, Metro Diner continued to grow and even earned a spot on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Fieri raved about many Metro signature items including our Fried Chicken & Waffles and Iron City Meatloaf. Both dishes remain the backbone to Metro Diner’s bold and innovative menu offerings.

    Today, Metro Diner has over 60 locations in 12 states and has earned a number of awards for its savory, home-style comfort food cooking including:
