| - Latest Metro Diner in the Charlotte Metro Area
Several months ago when we were dining at the Metro Diner on Independence in Matthews, out server indicated that there would soon be a third Metro Diner in the Charlotte area and it would be in Huntersville. We were very excited because Huntersville is next to Cornelius and we were looking forward to the opening.
On one of our many trips to Huntersville, we spotted the new location at the intersection of Gliead and Reese Blvd on the NW corner. Coming from the Interstate, It's Exit 23 Gilead Road on the west side toward the hospital but beyond and on the right at the light.
Parking lot was packed even though they have been open for only a couple of days and no great publicity. We parked and went to the counter and got on the waiting list with the hostess. We were told it would be 40 to 50 minutes so we settled in and got a cup of the free coffee and waited.
It was not 40 - 50 minutes. Our name was called after only 15 minutes and we were promptly seated, menu's presented and drink orders taken.
Our server asked if we had ever been to a Metro Diner before and we indicated that we had been to both of the two other locations in the area. I asked if the menu had changed and she said no but this location operated with a Condensed Menu so it was different from what we had seen before.
Later when she had time, we found that the two other locations operated with full menu's and this location and one in Raleigh were to only two operating with a Condensed or Limited Menu. Bi-fold menu vs a Tri-fold menu still left plenty to choose from.
We both started with the Hazelnut Coffee. While my wife loved it, I found it a bit harsh but still very good.
I ordered the Turkey with Mashed Potatoes along with Grilled Veggies and a Baguette Roll.
My wife ordered the Potato Soup which was one of the specials of the day along with Philly Cheese Steak and a bowl of fruit.
Both of us were very pleased. Turkey was thick and moist and the mashed potatoes were great. Grilled Veggies which were Zucchini and Yellow Squash was very good but I will admit, bu the time I got to that point, I was full.
My wife has a new favorite with the Potato Soup. The Philly Cheese Steaks were great and again portions were so large, she is having the second one later for dinner. The Fruit looked great and a lot more than just melon.
Service was excellent. Granted a lot of trainers were present and we don't know what it's going to look like in a couple of months when they leave but for now, it's fantastic.
Nice and fresh as you would expect from a new restaurant although this was originally a noodle shop but the transformation is amazing.
Strongly recommend, especially to our friends passing through on I-77. Very convenient to the interstate with hours from 7am to mid evening, great place to get a good meal.
