A friend of mine took me to Metro Diner last night which is behind Carrabbas's on E. Independence in Matthews. We sat at the counter and had a blast - the food & service were outstanding, huge portions and great prices. They open every morning at 7 AM for breakfast and close at 8 PM during the week & 9 PM on weekends. They have a location in Pineville and are opening a Huntersville location in October. One of the guys behind the counter told me they have 63 locations across the country and were reviewed by Diner, Drive-ins & Dives in 2010 at their location in FL. Go try it and let me know what you think!!!
