First impression upon entering metro diner is the friendly warm welcome. We were asked to seat ourselves at any table. It was mid afternoon and there were many tables available.
A server promptly arrived and offered us water and provided menus. When the water arrived the menu was was explained along with the special of the day that is listed on the chalk board.
The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a choice of booths and tables. There is also an outdoor patio that is shaded in the afternoon.
The menu has a large selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our choices were the Pot Roast and the Shrimp and Grits. Both turned out to be large portions.
The Shrimp and Grits consist of two fried grit cakes infused with cheese, roasted red peppers and Andouille sausage. Topped with shrimp, sausage, onions and peppers in a shrimp sauce. Garnished with chopped bacon and green onions. This rendition is different from the typical southern version but it's a great stick to your ribs meal.
The Pot Roast is a delicious roast slowly cooked, served with veggies, (carrots and onions), mashed potatoes and covered in its own flavorful juices. This is a very hardy meal.
