5-star orders, award-winning weekend brunch
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic food, drink, atmosphere, and wait staff. Very creative menu and the portions are large throughout. Brings in a friendly crowd as well. This has been my go-to spot for brunch since moving in to town.” – Jacob B (via Yelp)
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Metro Diner was a great place to eat at right after visiting the Florida Museum. They accommodated our large group (8 people and a baby), and our waitress was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The fried chicken Benedict is one to not miss out on. The egg was cooked perfect and the chicken was tender and juicy. Highly recommend Metro for an affordable, laid back, delicious dining experience.” – Rachel B (via Google)
“I did a quick search for a breakfast spot and this place’s high reviews caught my eye. It did not disappoint. We were quoted a 25 minute wait, but we were seated within 15 minutes. The menu was pretty broad and there’s something for everyone. While the biscuits and gravy isn’t photogenic, it was delicious, as was the steak scramble. If you’re looking for a great breakfast spot, Metro Diner will not disappoint.” – Adrian B (via Yelp
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OMG what a wonderful experience!! The hostess suggested the patio because they were getting full. I got the western omelet. I’ve never had one so packed and full. My companion had the mimosa and avocado toast. We were both full and happy. Every one there went out of their way yo make sure we were happy!!!” – Rebecca R. (via Google)
