| - It's like your classic breakfast joint (IHOP, Dennys, Egg Works, etc) but it has more of a community feel. It's most definitely a chain restaurant, but they somehow captured the feel of a small community diner. Plus, they have more option than your average breakfast joint.
As someone who spent a lot of time living in Texas, it was nice to see some grits (cheesy or plain) on the menu. I got them plain with my Bissell breakfast, and oh boy, it was like nostalgia with every creamy bite. They're not bad, but they definitely don't compare to the grits you get back in the South.
As for the rest of the Bissell breakfast, I got 2 sunny side up eggs, dry sourdough toast, bacon, grits, and half a waffle (subbed a waffle instead of pancakes). The eggs were okay. Nothing that warrants a deeper explanation. They were cooked fine. I feel like everything was cooked well, but nothing really sets this place apart in terms of taste/flavor.
What makes this place unique is the options they have like chicken and waffles and grits as well as their homey, community feel. Other than that, the flavor is pretty average in the sense that I got what I expected and wasn't completed blown away.
The service was spot on and our waitress came by every 5-10min or so to refill waters and ask if we needed anything. Something that sets them apart from other chains is their service. I feel like their waiters waitresses are all very friendly and approachable.
Overall, if you're looking for a decent breakfast place that makes you feel very welcomed and you want some more breakfast variety, Metro Diner is your place.
