I was super just excited to finally try the diner as I've heard much positive praise.
Walking in we were seated quickly and everyone greeted us. I enjoyed how clean and organized the metro diner was. I enjoyed seeing the open kitchen concept and the diner seating area by the kitchen. The specials chalk board is really cool.
I was a little disappointed to not see a tuna melt on the menu.
Jason asked our waitress what her favorite sandwich was to eat and her response was "lots of people order the metro club or the philly". We just looked at each other and laughed since that wasn't what we asked. We wanted her favorite. Next we asked for a few more minutes and then ordered the bissel breakfast with a side of avocado and the French dip with a salad.
This is where we went from four stars to three stars unfortunately. The food was just mediocre and bland. The potatoes I received were dark almost black and I had to ask for another batch. They were very nice about it though. The avocado was not ripe and hard to eat. I had to add salt to the new potatoes too. Jasons French dip looked sad. Not enough meat and the bread didn't look toasted. Maybe they don't toast it though? The only thing I really enjoyed was the salad Jason ordered which came with a hard boiled egg.
Based on food taste, I would rather go somewhere else.
