| - After a rigorous morning workout, We decided to try this place out for a "cheat" meal after seeing so many amazing reviews on Yelp.
Pulling up Metro Diner had odd branding to me. The sign and large awning outside was in art deco style which you don't see too often in Vegas, but I believe was a nod back to the Floridian origin of this chain.
Walking in through the first set of front doors the hostess was holding open the second set of double doors welcoming us with a smile. She sat us immediately, introduced our waitress by name, and talked about some of their specials for the day. It was such a nice greeting first thing in the morning.
I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and made it vegetarian by subbing avocado for the chorizo, my husband ordered the Corned Beef Hash and we both split a short stack of pancakes. At first glance the menus seemed pretty pedestrian but what came out was not so at all. The Huevos Rancheros was served with a choice of eggs (scrambled) over fried tortilla shells, with black beans, onions and peppers and topped with melted cheese, salsa, sour cream, and fried jalapeños. The fried jalapeños were such an interesting touch; still crispy from the fryer they were spicy tangy and delicious. The presentation was very eye catching.
The Corned Beef Hash is made in house and served with diced red-skinned potatoes, two poached eggs and toast. My husband said the corned beef was very good but only wished the potatoes were more crispy. Otherwise he liked it a lot.
The portions are huge, honestly with the three dishes we ordered we could have fed 4-5 hungry people.
Thanks for the great recommendation Yelpers! You guys delivered.
