| - We stumbled across Metro Diner on an episode of Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and decided to check it out because it combines two of our food loves: diners and breakfast.
As the 3 stars indicate it was A-Ok, but probably not worth the 27 mile drive from my house. However, I will be the first to admit that we got sidetracked by the Specials board from our original plan of ordering the Monte Cristo and Chicken & Waffle. Always trust your first instinct, people!
We arrived around 10 AM on Mother's Day and were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. It was a beautiful morning, so we took advantage of the patio seating.
John picked the Benedict Florentine ($10.99) from Specials board and was not impressed. He didn't care for the hollandaise sauce and felt that the eggs were over cooked.
I ordered a Western Omelette ($10.99)- ham, cheddar, onions, tomatoes, and peppers. (86'ed the mushrooms). It's topped with salsa, which seemed like Pace picante sauce to me. To be honest, I'm not sure that it enhanced the omelette and would recommend getting it on the side before committing. I ordered fruit as my side ($.50 up charge) and it was perfect.
Our service was very good, although we found it odd that our server Marylu had to step away a couple of times to answer a cordless phone to take carryout orders. Quite the multi-tasker! We also really liked that they bring a tablet to your table to pay your bill so you don't have to hand your credit card over.
I've heard that Eastern/Serene and Stephanie/215 locations are planned, so I think we'll wait until one of those locations opens to try some of the menu items that seem to get a lot of Yelp love.
