I have been to the Matthews, Pineville and this location. I have to say, that you won't notice the difference. The quality of the food and superb service is consistent throughout these locations. I was introduced to Metro Diner through a Yelp event and boy-oh-boy have I fell in love with it. Having lived in NY for over a decade, I did miss a "classic" diner place. These place and it's homestyle cooking is the closest to a NY local diner you can get around here. Every time I have guests staying with me, I take them here at least once. BRUNCH is a must here!
Getting more and more into southern cuisine the CHICKEN AND WAFFLES is a must! It's my fave here actually. Their crispy chicken is so tender and juicy, I can't believe how they can achieve such heavenly goodness. Their strawberry butter and special hot-sauce syrup is the perfect garnish to this dish. Their belgian waffles remind me of my childhood in Germany! YUUUUUUUUM.
Dishes I recommend here too are the Holy Davoli (two grilled cheese bacon sandwiches hugging a burger patty! and the shrimp and grit cakes.
Their house coffee is good as well as their Bloody Mary.
I haven't explored the menu further, because yes.......I always get the same dish because it's amazeballs!
Each location has a private parking lot. Come here, leave with happy bellies.
