About Metro Diner
More About Metro DinerMetro 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.
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.
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: Best Breakfast, Best Diner, and Best Burger
