Metro Diner: Offering signature comfort food in Florida
Florida is Metro Diner’s first home – where we opened the original location in Jacksonville, FL (pictured below). Since then, very little has changed – we still take pride in serving classic comfort food dishes that resonate with the heart and soul of diner culture in Florida. Our menu features popular items like the famous Iron City Meatloaf with rich gravy and creamy mashed potatoes, and our guest-favorite Fried Chicken & Waffles, blending sweet and savory in every bite. These dishes satisfy even the pickiest eaters and bring a sense of nostalgia to every meal, earning their place as some of the best food in Florida.
Join us at Metro Diner to indulge in comforting flavors that make our diner a beloved Florida staple!
And, of course, you can’t overlook our customer favorites and best-sellers! The Fried Chicken and Waffle is a standout, blending crispy fried chicken with sweet, fluffy waffles, all drizzled with our signature syrup for a *chef’s kiss* sweet-savory experience. Another must-try is our Iron City Meatloaf, featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” for it’s unique griddle seared exterior, smothered in rich brown gravy and served with mashed potatoes and green beans.
These dishes have earned their status as fan favorites, and once you try them, you’ll understand why!
