| - We received a coupon for $10 off an order for Metro diner. We called ahead to order for pick up and they were very accommodating in letting us use the coupon without having to stay. We ordered the chicken and waffles and also the stuffed French toast. At the end of the call we were not given a total, but I assumed it wouldn't be more than $20, there is no way, right? When we got there to pick up the order, the diner seemed very busy. Everyone was very kind, said hello, and whatnot. We gave her the coupon and she said "OK, this coupon brings your total to $32". I think my husband almost died lol. I myself thought I miss heard her. No it was true, it was $32 with tax including $10 off for two entrées that did not come with any sides such as hashbrowns, eggs, bacon, etc. I was hoping and praying that this food would be so delicious that we would both forget how much we just spent on breakfast. The chicken that comes with the chicken and waffles were huge pieces, the coating was very tasty, but the chicken also came with bones. It was as if they took a whole chicken, added a meat cleaver to the situation, and cleaved the chicken into four pieces. The waffle was a regular sized tasty waffle, but have you ever tasted a gross waffle? The sweet and spicy syrup that comes with the chicken and waffles was very good! Now for the stuffed French toast, which has a really weird name that I can't remember, where do I begin? The French toast pieces itself where OK. The filling of bananas and cream cheese was OK at first, but got to be way too much very quickly. I totally forgot I had the blueberry strawberry compote which is a good thing because it would've been complete overload if I had remembered it. It came with a total of one slice cut in half, but it was stuffed. Maybe it wouldn't been too much sweetness if we had a piece of sausage or some hashbrowns to eat with it I don't know...
We have eating there one time before and had ordered the poundcake French toast and the monte cristo. The fried pound cake was tasty, but also very expensive for just getting the fried pieces of poundcake (Sara Lee brand, bought in a bag NOT made on site). My husband is the one who ordered the Montecristo being that he had loved it from a different place a while ago we took maybe a bite each and couldn't eat it because it was so plain. We wanted to like it so much but the prices are just insane and to scale with strip prices. My husband and I do not go to the strip for that very reason and therefore we will not be returning to Metro Diner. Like I said before, the staff is very nice and informative- nothing against the staff.
