Metro Diner

Delicious breakfast pie! (Posted 8 months ago)
Went back to have Yo Hala on the square and had to take a doggy bag. It was so delicious and very filling.
And it was so nice seeing the staff that knows ASL.

I have been going to the metro dinner for years. The variety and the quality of the food are excellent. All of their staff will meet or exceed your expectations most of the time. Very nice to see them expanding within 14 states. Go once and you will be hooked.

That being said, it is disappointing to see that my regular location, in Mandarin Florida, needs to improve upon maintaining the exterior of its property. This includes the outside seating area where food is served. I wish I was able to say that the conditions were recent but they have been accumulating over a long period of time. No one wants a filthy ceiling fan rotating above their food. The building and awnings should be cleaned on a regular basis. The sign that displays their name and also acts as their logo should not be pealing away. This company has a great customer base and is always busy. It should be able to afford simple regular exterior building maintenance. Don't just take pride in your food and service, start to care for the structure that you invite your guests to visit and where they provide their patronage.

I had the 12" challenge and it was great. I tried the home fries and they were good too. My group of four were delighted with there food. The waitress was super kind and generous of the gang. Our food came within of 10-15 minutes of ordering. Thank you!

The fried chicken and waffles are very good and the portion size is huge. Our server was very attentive and nice. We went around 7PM, so it wasn't as busy and our food came out quick.

The one on Baymeadows in Jacksonville is better. I had the Cinnamon bun pancakes; which were good if you're into that kind of thing. It was suggested by my server. My friend had shrimp & grits; but she said she's had better. The service was great.
