    A trip to Jax is incomplete without stopping at the Metro Diner. This location is the Original and while It can be busy and loud, the food delivers in a big way. Our server (Alex) was on top Of everything even when it seemed they sat all the tables in her section at once. See if they have the Pittsburgh Steak Salad. (Note the lack of Radish’s)

    Great experience. I had the Croissant French toast. And my wife had the Cesar salad with grilled chicken. Even though it was a little crowded, we got seated right away (couples vs groups went faster). Our server Kevin was friendly and efficient and our food came out quickly. Everything tasted delicious and we'll definitely be back😉.

    Team work makes the food work and each meal has a great taste. The recipes are good, not to salty and far from greasy. Deliciously fun healthy food.

    Delicious, fresh food. Fast & friendly service. One of my favorite breakfast restaurants. The eggs are always perfect! Great home fries. My husband loves their sausage gravy. Generous portions of food, you won't leave hungry.

    We come here almost every week. Really solid food, we pretty much love everything we have here. They charge around a $1 for peppers or onions on your hashbrowns, but honestly, worth it. They add an additional layer of flavor. Cinnamon roll pancakes and the fried chicken and waffles are a MUST TRY. So good. Bissell breakfast is always a fave, same with sausage gravy & biscuits and chicken pot pie. I also tried their eggs Benedict for the first time the other day and that was also really good. All in all, you can't go wrong.

    LOVE THIS PLACE! A quaint, local diner that offers great food, quick service and a friendly staff. We had a group of 10 that were in a little bit of a time crunch and their staff had all of our meals out within 10-15 minutes of us ordering. Thank you and Great Job!!!

    For a long time I kept saying I was going to go eat here but every time I rode past. So one day I had a little extra time before work and I stopped in for a bit to eat.. so I had the chicken and waffles with the spicy syrup and regular syrup now that strawberry butter hits way different.. I must say the cooks are doing their thing behind that counter. Everything was cooked to perfection it was so great I had to take my husband so he could try it too omg it was great. And he was surprised at how good it was himself and now we plan on going back and trying everything they have. If you have never been here before then you are missing out big time. Go check them out the food is great.

    Everything was awesome, but it was hot. I'm not sure if the AC was out or just needed to be turned down. The crab cake eggs Benedict and cinnamon roll pancake were amazing! Also, our waitresses McKenna was one of the best we have ever had. The Southern Pecan Coffee was delicious as well.

    very crowded place in my opinion , you have to park down the street because they have no parking lot of their own. we took notice that this was the first metro diner to be built , which was pretty interesting. the hash browns were crispy which is what i loved the most. food was good and especially our server. 🙏

    Metro Diner is one of my "go-to" spots for delicious delectable delights and never disappoints. The crowd is there for a reason. Flavor profiles are quite unique. All items on the menu are exquisite and elegantly prepared. Our server Bridget was also very attentive.

  • 5/5 Harleymr S. 8 months ago on Google
    From the mouth of my daughter: I had the kids chicken and waffles. It is great. It was like a flavor explosion. 😄😄😄 I really love the strawberry butter! Our server Bridgett was quick and courteous. Food was quick and hot despite being peak breakfast period on a Sunday brunch day.

  • 2/5 Bambi B. 1 year ago on Google
    Im a pregnant customer not expecting perfection, but at least something to satiate my cravings. Ordering from Metro Diner was not the right call. Placed an order for delivery and waited 45min-1hr just to be given this. I understand the delivery driver was likely waiting for other orders to deliver from here as well, but this was just entirely disappointing. The toast was completely hard and burnt on every side of the crust. This burnt on top, limp, greasy pile of hashbrowns stunk up the entire plate with its burnt smell. Overall an overpriced and underwhelming takeout experience. If this isn’t the quality of food you can serve to dine-in customers it shouldn’t be sent out for delivery. Save your $40 and spend it somewhere else.

    This is a very busy location, but it's the best. Parking is hard to find, but the walk is worth it. Food is quick, perfectly seasoned and filling, and you never have to look too hard for your server to refill your drink. Props to the chef and waitstaff!

  • 5/5 Kimberly G. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing Staff, we visited twice in two days. Servers were incredible, friendly and informative. Food left us craving more. We will definitely make it s point to return, new favorite.

  • 4/5 Crystal O. 10 months ago on Google
    Food and service was immaculate. You get what you pay for. I deducted one star because I feel like it’s pricey for a diner and the parking is very limited. We had to drive around a few times before finding on street parking. Other than that, everything was great. We visited this location on a Tuesday Morning. We seated right away. They have outside seating which is great and clean. Our waitress was polite and welcoming. We ordered and waited less than 10 minutes for our food to come out which is amazing. I will definitely be back!

    I was visiting my family in Jacksonville and they suggested that we have breakfast at the Metro. Wow!! The food was so good and the servers are fantastic! I will definitely come back for another visit next time I'm in town.

    This is quaint little spot. We picked this restaurant because if DDD. The service was awesome. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was very homey. I recommend the pancakes. The chicken and waffles was a little dry but seasoned well. They were out of crab cakes and spicy sauce for chicken. I wish google would let me give them a 3.5.
