Service: Incredible. Food: Superb. Overall Experience: Fantastic! This is the apex of where creativity meets comfort food. They're always so creative with their menu and every time I've went the food has been top notch. It's borderline gourmet at a really good price. I've heard they've got lemon blueberry coming to the menu next and I can't wait to come back to see what interesting thing they'll come up with next! Loved it!

Metro Diner was clean and comfortable and super busy. The service was good and the wait staff were friendly if maybe a tiny bit overwhelmed. The portions were of acceptable size and well presented. My companion had fish and chips, I had the cheese steak. Both were delicious. The fries were perfect!

Sam is an amazing server! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and was there anytime we needed her. I had the Veggie omelette and added tomato’s, onions, and cheese to my hash browns, delicious! If you looking for a great easy going place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner I highly recommend this place.

We love Metro Dinner! One of our favorite restaurants to eat at here in Athens. I got the croissant French toast this time and added the cinnamon roll pancake toppings to them. Very sweet but Delic! Sam is wonderful! Even though I can see she’s very busy she still very attentive to our table. We will definitely be back.

The food was delicious – especially the Fried Chicken and Waffles. Sam was a wonderful server; very attentive and kind, and made great recommendations.

The lady at the front desk when you walk in was not friendly at all. She had an horrible attitude. Thankfully our server was friendlier. I loved that you could see them cooking the food. I wasn’t a huge fan of the atmosphere it was super packed space wise, and it could use a good cleaning. I ordered the chicken Benedict and the chicken was cooked too hard.

We came food was really good and we got seated (Outside) quickly. It was busy so, our order did take a min but nothing to complain about. The server did get our one co-workers order wrong (he ordered a veg omelet but she brought him a western, and she was a little snarky when he asked for his sprite to be replaced (it was flat). Overall good experience and good food so we will give it another try later. I had the corrsiant french toast and it was really good. Go give it a try Myself and friends will be in 11/15 around 11:30 let's hope is as good as I was told.

Our first time trying this place, I agree with another post that the hostess had a bad attitude. However, I was impressed that my order came out with my special requests implemented perfectly (soft scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, well done toast) and hot. My company enjoyed her philly cheese steak too. Unfortunately, the restroom needed attention, smelled like pee and sticky floors; if I had used the restroom prior to ordering, I would have left - it grossed me out. We arrived around 10am, only 2 hours after opening, assuming the closing crew didn't clean the night before, hard to believe it was that dirty just after 2 hours of opening.

Athens' best kept secret for breakfast. Affordable and you get every penny's worth. Tessa is wonderful, as are the other servers, and the diner captures that old school diner vibe! It's a chain but does not feel that way at all.
