| - We were in the area and yelped places to eat and saw the Metro Diner was close by with a four and a half star rating.
We were greeted by a very friendly Hostess and also by a very friendly waitress.
Nice comfortable diner.
The place was busy at lunchtime
The waitress asked if we knew about the beverage bar and she explained that you go up to the bar yourself and help yourself to coffee , tea , soft drinks, etc. Plus one can take out a beverage to go.
The cost is $ 2.49 per person but does not include fruit juices or white or chocolate? milk.
To me this is a great idea, the waitress doesn't have to run back with a coffee pot and ask if you want to refill or run back and forth to refill a soda etc.
The menu had a large variety of breakfast choices, pancakes ,waffles omelets, egg dishes, many breakfast sides a plus lunchtime/ dinner menus featuring comfort foods and lunch/ dinner sides , plus daily board specials
.
One can order anything on the menu anytime of the day.
Across from our booth the diners ate the peach pancake special and waffles with fruit, so it must have been good as they polished their plates clean.
We decided to have lunch so we ordered the broccoli cheddar cheese soup, my dining mate ordered the Southwest wrap and I ordered their chicken salad atop a garden salad with blue cheese dressing on the side.
We both agreed the soup was very delicious, loaded with broccoli and cheese and came out hot.
My dining mate really enjoyed the Southwest wrap special. I had a taste and agreed it was excellent, loaded with tasty chicken, black beans, veges etc.
He didn't particularly care for the side he ordered, homemade potato chips as they were extremely hard and crunchy to his taste.
The chicken salad which was described as loaded with grapes ,celery, and pecans ,was not , although it was tasty it was a bit on the salty side to my taste.
Unfortunately the blue cheese salad dressing I ask for , I did not care for, one of the worst I tasted.
It was extremely salty and didn't taste from blue cheese at all.
I had my dining mate taste it and he agreed that it was overly salty .
So some food tasted great, others did not.
Food was plated nicely. Good portion size, menu prices moderate with many menu choices plus a kid's menu. Service we experienced was great.
We would certainly come back again and try something different from the menu.
