Looked up “cute breakfast Augusta, Ga.” And Metro Diner was the 1st thing that came up. Although it did not match what I was looking for (aesthetically) read the reviews and knew I had to check it out. My daughter had THE BISSELL BREAKFAST & I had SAN FRANCISCO BENEDICT. Glad we came in because the food was amazing! No complaints from me nor my daughter. You know this place is good when people come in as they go…they stay busy and for a good reason. I can actually say that they have a new patron and I can’t wait to go again and try something new on the menu!!!
My family and I decided to try traveling from Atlanta. The environment was clean. The staff was professional and friendly. My daughter and I ordered the chicken and waffle. The chicken tasted like it was left over from Sunday dinner. We did not enjoy the chicken. My first waffle was cold. My second waffle was hot and golden. The rest of the family was fine with their food.
We were in town and I have always wanted to go to a restaurant featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. We sat at the bar. It was cool watching everything be prepared. All the staff worked well together like a well oiled machine. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. The food was really good. It was a good experience!
Never ever order on Doordash or Ubereats I have made the error of ordering from here several times and each time I order they either forget something or the food is undercooked. I’ve had one great meal from here and I guess I was hoping for that again. It’s sad that Augusta only has a few Diners and this one is probably the worst of the two.
This was me and my husbands first time and the food was sooo good. Our waitress was Keisha, she was awesome. Her customer service was above and beyond.
I used to LOVE this place. And I mean, we would go here for celebrations over a fancy restaurant. I returned for the first time since the pandemic, my husband took me for a treat after I received a promotion. The staff is super friendly and fantastic, the place is clean. But the food....man. The menu changed, all the things I loved are gone, and what we did order was just....eh. Disappointed for sure. Worth a try if youve never been before, but I really really miss the old menu and delicious food.
One of my fav breakfast place! They are known w their waffle and fried chicken and its pretty yummy :P Recently I tried their steak and scramble and its pretty neat also
I and a friend arrived at 12:00 noon. There was a 30 minute wait time. We had a very pleasant waitress. My friend had a sandwich which he described as okay. I had the turkey lunch platter. The mashed potatoes with gravy were delicious! ( Real mashed potatoes, by the way.) The dressing was a packaged mix I suspect, not cornbread dressing. My Green beans were properly seasoned but too crunchy for my taste. They were french style beans however. The turkey was okay and there was an ample serving. The lunch price was approximately $ 15.00 plus tip.
We had Thanksgiving lunch here and not only was the food and apple pie mimosa amazing (get the bread pudding!!!), the service was fantastic! Our 1st time dining here but would definitely come back!
Carly was amazing!!! Soooo I saw this pictures on the internet and I had to try them. They are so good. And mimosas always on point. We will definitely be back.
Two Words... STRAWBERRY BUTTER. It was yummy.. all the food was good. The staff was super quick, and made sure coffee cup was never empty. My picky son even finished all his food. Reasonable prices. Come early, or it can get busy.
The food was well worth the wait. I had the Protien break fast and ordered the chicken and waffles to go. My partner ordered the shrimp and grits and its like nothing Ive ever had before. The food was hot and fresh, great serving portions. We will definitely be back
Not sure why this place stays busy. Not a big deal for me. I guess I didnt order the right food. Chicken salad sandwich, fries, and green beans. My husband had shrimp and grits. My meal was edible but not exciting. The shrimp and grits were good enough that my husband said he would go back and order it again. My son had fried chicken. It was crunchy and very tasty. We will go back and give it another try.
Staff was great, wait was reasonable & food was prepared perfectly…tried the banana granola pancake-bigger than the plate. Chicken and waffles was excellent. Super crispy.
First time visiting here. Not impressed at all. The turkey was okay. The dressing was not that good but only got maybe two tablespoons full. Mashed potatoes were delicious. No bread with meal. We asked for bread and they brought biscuits. 2 were $3.99. It was a really cute place, I just wish the food was better. My husband got pot roast. Only one carrot as vegetables in it. I was hoping we found a new place to eat. Maybe a hamburger or sandwich place...
I gave this location a second try and I am so glad I did! Our server was great and very attentive. The place was packed, but we got our food quickly. Everything was delicious, and served hot! Thank you for a much better second dining experience!
This food tastes like HOME! Great atmosphere and staff every bit of food was DELICIOUS! The croissant French toast was stellar!
Wonderful! Delicious food, nice and clean restaurant with friendly staff. Samantha was our waitress and she was great! First time there, but well be back for sure.
Talk about good value for your dollar! They offer any meal any time of day. We stopped here for breakfast while on a road trip. Our $10-12 meals loaded us up with leftovers for later. The actual quality of the food was great too. Buscuits were soft, eggs were cooked just right, hashbrowns were crispy, and bacon was perfect. Highly recommend a stop here for any meal!
Yummmmmmy!! You can tell this place is good by the crowd they draw! Had Cinnamon roll pancakes and they were one of the best things Ive ever eaten, hands down! Cant wait to go back, just have to have time to wait apparently! Service was great, people were attentive and quick. Good all around restaurant!
My first time here and the food was amazing! I highly recommend this place.
The herb roasted chicken dinner was delicious. You can tell it was really marinated like advertised because the flavor was through and through.
The food was great and everyone was so nice. Will be back again.
The service was fast and great. The food was a little over cooked.
Stopped in for a bite to eat before going to the movies with some friends. They all got the chick and waffles that comes with strawberry butter. They wouldnt shut up about how good it was. I however had to get a salad so I went with the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. It was delicious but I should have asked for no croutons because they mix them in well and theres a good amount. The waitress was really sweet and saw all the croutons that I cant eat and brought be another Caesar salad to make up for it. She kept saying sorry for the wait but we really think it was a wait. lol
The shrimp and grits were different from another place Ive been. It had grit cakes, not sure if thats a Georgia thing or NC just sucks at making them, lol. Either way I enjoyed the mimosas and great menu choices.
I was unable to order to-go online as Metro Diner doesn’t allow calling to order to-go. Was able to reach an employee, and informed him the website was not working. Augusta is not an option on their website for to-go orders. Metro Diner, fix your website.Update: was able to walk-in and order to-go at the counter. Employees seemed hard-working and the place was super busy. The to-go food was super good. Surprised at the quantity of food as well, considering it was to-go (usually restaurants will short you food if it’s takeout).
Been to the Metro Diner in St Augustine, Gainesville, Charlotte and finally Augusta. Great food and service at all these locations. Love the chicken and waffles. The Augusta location was super busy on a normal Saturday morning. They take your number and call when your table is ready. Enjoyed our breakfast but when are we getting one in Columbia? Put one near campus by the Vista. Im hungry over here!
I kept passing this place and decided to grab a bite finally, and it was delicious. My daughter had chicken and waffles and I had a bacon, mushroom, and swiss burger. It looks small from the outside, its not; it was larger than I imagined . The service is prompt, friendly, and helpful.
Was in Augusta for an event. Drove into town after an all night 9 hour drive I went to the Metro Diner for breakfast. The staff was so nice! The food was great! I went to the Metro Diner everyday I was there for breakfast and was never disappointed! They were so accommodating!!
The Thanksgiving special dinners are amazing the stuffing waffle stole the show. Be sure to try this special limited time dish
Great Food, one of the favorite restaurant in town. we come here at least once a week. Yesterdays visit was horrible. Sat on the Table for 10 mins, nobody else bothered to ask for a drink. Couple tables sat after us, Got their drink and order. We have to walked away after 10 minutes of waiting, myself and the whole family felt Discriminated! Love the food great, but I guess we are driving to Aiken Branch at this point.
I came to Augusta to visit my husband who is active duty. We happened upon this place and thank god we did! The service was fantastic but then the food came out and it was even better than the service! I was only in town for 4 days and my husband and I came here 3 times for breakfast. We had to wait 45 minutes the last day I was there and we waited! normally I would not wait for breakfast but this place is totally worth it.
We placed our order before the other patrons and literally watched everyone else get their orders before us. We inquired about why and the waitress said it was because they wanted to cook our chicken fresh but I clearly watched him cook fresh batch after fresh batch. Once everyone else around us received their orders they proceed to make 5 orders of the very meal we as for...chicken and waffles for to go. It was upsetting and poor service on their part. Needless to say we walked out.
I normally get the chicken & waffles, which is ALWAYS EXCELLENT. However, I tried the shrimp & grits this time, bad idea!! I didnt like it at all. The gravy they had over the shrimp was too thick and didnt have a good flavor. The grit cakes were ok but grits shouldnt be prepared that way. Just give people GRITS, thats all we want. My husband got the meat loaf. Again NO. Stay away from it. On top of everything else, we had a young male waiter who was sarcastic and rude. I like metro diner but this whole experience put a bad taste in my mouth!! Will I go back, YES, because l Love those CHICKEN & WAFFLES!!
The new sticky chicken is so yummy 😋.... been here many times before.... never disappointed.... one of my favorite spots in the CSRA!
Fairly newish chain in my books.Most are quite consistent on their products.I feel that the food is good, not great. Some of their items you get masses amounts of food where others not so much.Beef tips is an example of a small portion meal, where their chicken n waffles are a bit much to handle.Today we had a server, unfortunately I didn’t catch his name, but he was a big dude with neat dreads. He was great.All in all metro diner are good choices for most families.
Clean, fresh decor. Great atmosphere. Dishes are superbly prepared. Shout out to our server Keisha for providing the best selfless, professional service I have seen in a while. Thank you. 😊
CHICKEN AND WAFFLES!!!! My lady ordered that and I tried the chicken breast. That is the best chicken Ive ever had in a restaurant! The chicken is marinaded perfectly. I worked at KFC years ago when they actually did chicken right. This place does it like it should be done. I had normal breakfast and it was good, but that chicken!!!!!!..... If this restaurant is reading this review !NEVER! change how you prep the chicken. Yall can season the flour to give it more pop.
My sons chicken and waffle was delicious, just perfect. The turkey and dressing meal not good at all. Green beans were raw, and hard to chew. Gravy very salty. The meal tasted like a tv dinner.
The food here is absolute perfection! I highly recommend the Holy Davoli and the Avocado Breakfast Sandwich.
Stopped by on our way to Aiken S.C for breakfast. Sam was our waitress, very pleasant and attentive! The food? Delicious! I had the spicy chicken sandwich (yes, they serve lunch at breakfast hour), my hubby had the breakfast platter. The food was very flavored, chicken was moist and savory. We are building a house in Aiken SC, we have found our favorite breakfast spot!!
This is a MUST EAT for breakfast or brunch. We had a great experience. Short wait time, amazing service, and the reasonably priced food was out of this world!
Food would have been good if it wasnt cold by the time I got to my hotel which was only 1/2 mile away. Id assume it would have still been hot if it wasnt brought to my car 20 min AFTER they said it would be ready! Plus how they gonna only give me 2 little containers of syrup for a order of pancakes and a order of french toast?? So of course on top of everything being cold asl it was also dry asl!
Ive been to this establishment twice and both times the food has been delicious
This is where the locals eat. I had a great Ham and cheese omelet and home fries.the service was excellent and the kitchen staff really seems to enjoy their work. Will be back. UPDATE. Still great food. More crowded than I remember but still pretty quick.
This is a awesome southern diner, service is fast. The wait time was 40 minutes but was actually like 5 mins, the food selection is great and atmosphere is nice.
This place had one of the best eggs Benedict Ive ever had. Definitely a 5 star rating. However, I have not had anything else on the menu as of reviewing.
Amazing food and atmosphere to boot quick wait time for a table and even faster for my food! Couldnt finish my coffee before it came out piping hot! Will come back for more!
Came here for breakfast and must say I wasnt disappointed. Want to try the different lunch and dinner items next time. The breakfast menu was large and had your typical diner style food.
Good vibes and food nice atmosphere 👍🏿
Not much to say other than fantastic diner food, served plentiful and hot. I live hours away from this place and would definitely drive over again to just have their food.
Went for breakfast. Ordered the pancakes and the fried chicken Benedict with a coffee. Very unimpressed with the pancakes because they had a weird, possibly reheated texture. The coffee was pretty bad. The Benedict was the best thing by far and Id probably order it again
My boyfriend ordered through doordash and my order was completely wrong even with the receipt to my order being placed on the bag and the food was not good. Gave me sausage instead of bacon and toast instead of biscuits and the pancakes tasted like flour and water just disgusting the eggs tasted horrible as if they were old also. Immediately came up after consuming this breakfast. Never will I ever return.
Customer service was good, Food was good just barely room temperature though. Manager gave a Great discount. I would will go back
This place never disappoints us...we traveled 2.30 hours to enjoy the food. The prices are affordable and you most definitely get your $$s worth...the staff is awesome as well..thank you. This was our second visit.
Awesome 👍 experience, good services. Check the photo, was really good.
There is often a 10-20 minute wait even for lunch, but the food is worth it. The portions are generous and I have not had a dish that wasnt good.
Dropped in for breakfast as they opened on a Sat morning. Tried the chicken benedict and it was ok. The eggs were poached well and the biscuit was good. The hollandaise sauce was mostly just tangy but went ok with the chicken. The chicken was cooked almost perfect but the coating didnt have much taste. Thats great as a vehicle for dipping sauces, gravies and such but I wouldnt recommend it for just plain fried chicken. The service was quite good with not just my primary server but several others checking in as well. For pandemic concerned folks, the tables are well spread out and staff were all masked up.
The meal was delicious, the service was fabulous and I used the mobile wait app and I was able to walk in and have a table...
First time visiting from Chicago it was six of us we all ordered different dishes they were all delicious especially the grits and shrimps.
It was our first time the food and service was 10 out of 10!
Food wasnt what I thought it would be cold fries not enough meat in the Philly cheesesteak. Bread was hard, if I can say anything nice the workers were friendly and nice.
The San Francisco Benedict is excellent! Eggs Benedict with tomato and avocado...Service was quick and friendly.Will return!
Everything was burnt::update the manager contacted me I am a satisfied customer now and will be back😊
Great service. Delicious food. Birthday brunch and my daughter foot the bill. I loved every second of it.
That hot chicken sandwich was amazing and service was spectacular. It’s nice to go somewhere with good food and service
Very good spot for breakfast or brunch. Attentive waitstaff. Local spot that’s very friendly to out of towners.
If you are passing by exit 199 I-20.This is the place for a stop to go for a good bite, good fast service and a wide variety of dishes, and breakfast at all hours.
We have eaten there several times and the food is always good. Employees are friendly.
This experience was superb. Great food, excellent service, just what you need on a relaxing day. Not the 1st time, wont be the last. Check this place out, if you havent. Meal was paid for by a third party.
Not sure they actually clean anything around here. The silverware they gave me was dirty when I opened it and the floor was filthy. Makes me wonder how or if the glasses and dishes were washed. Weve been here before and it was fine, so not sure what has changed.
Metro has a great menu and sinfully delicious foods. They usually have a very amazing seasonal offering and staff is quick and courteous. The only reason why its not 5 stars, this time around is because several times our server forgot and had to be reminded and then still forgot about our requests. They were minor but did slightly diminish the experience. Still a solid offering at a very reasonable price, considering all the other locations in town offering similar food have serious staffing and availability issues.
Went here a few times and tried the majority of the menu.Some of the basic stuff, you can get the equivalent at Waffle House. Some of the other stuff, well Waffle House doesnt have.The quality is better than iHop but it is just as bland and tastes the same like a iHop.Service is a hit or miss depending on who you get as a server.Place at its best is 4 stars but you really have to order the right things on the menu.
Ive never been so disappointed. Disappointed that I didnt get the same cinnamon pancakes that my son did. OMG I died and went to pancake heaven. My son said it tastes like fancy vacation pancakes you would eat in Rome. Hes 8. Hes never been to Rome. But yes theyre magical. The rest of the food is great. Sometimes service is a little off, but the food is always excellent. My wife agrees about the pancakes beyond delicious too.
So disappointed I didnt take pics but the breakfast burger (with side of fruit) and red velvet bread pudding was amazing. Definitely a returning customer!
Wait staff was not real nice,I saw the people waiting outside for their pick up have to come inside. It was a 30 minute wait for a table.I ordered the Phil cheese sandwich. Where was the beef? 20.for nothing. Ordered onion rings the gave me 4.Nope will not go back for over price nothing.
I took my mom here for her Birthday for the first time and she absolutely loved it! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend!
My first time eating chicken and waffles! The waffles were so delicious and soft! The chicken was amazingly seasoned and served with a syrup mixed with Louisiana hot sauce! Last, but not least, mind blowing service! Next time , Im in Georgia I will definitely stop here again!
The chocolate cake was very much enjoyed by our daughter! The manager gave us free cheese fries. The food is ok. A few years ago, the menu had more items. Not sure what happened. I am thankful for the Mac and cheese and cake my kid really enjoyed.
Thoroughly enjoyable experience of Southern dining. Very friendly waiters and a great classy atmosphere. The Jumbo Chicken Pot Pie was $10 and super good. I like the chalkboard specials, so here’s a picture of that. They were pretty quick too!
No peach pie no bread with meat loaf dinner service was good had to get Mgr for pieces of bread
I got the special of the day, which was oven roasted herbed chicken, with mashed potatoes and green beans on the side. Every part of my meal was excellent- the green beans were seasoned well and crunchy, the gravy on the potatoes was great, and the chicken itself was delicious. The only quibble I have is the price, but the quality makes up for it.
Great food and even better service!! Highly highly recommend.
The fish and chips was fantastic - crispy, well seasoned batter with tender, moist fish. Generous portions - could have fed two people, but I couldn’t stop eating and finished it all myself.
Quick service and friendly staff! Great food! The cinnamon pancake are amazing.
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. From the staff to the food, everything was perfect.
The chicken and waffles are to die for! Not literally, of course! Lol but its always a little peace of heaven when eating the fresh waffles, fresh juicy fried chicken AND that strawberry butter goodness! 😍🤤
Good food. Nice staff. Its usually busy but Ive never had to wait.
The chicken and waffles are delicious.The service is fast and phenomenal and the management is professional; therefore, Metro Diner is the place to dine. Enjoy.
The Metro diner has more of restaurant feel then a diner. The place was packed when I showed up. I was fortunate to get a seat at the counter or was I? Lets just say it was tight like a like a pair jeans you have not worn since junior high. I felt like sumo wrestler in a skirt. After I folded my elbows in twice and squeezed my self in between two patrons. I ordered the Croissant French Toast and my lady got the Fried Green Tomatoe Benedict. The food took a bit but came out. The staff did not seem very friendly but that could have been the busy pace of what was going on at the time. The food was good. I would recommend going here compared to other places in Augusta for breakfast
We had the 45 min wait experience. The Chx & waffles was 1/2 chicken and Belgian waffle. Food was well prepared, service was food, an overall good experience. I will be sure to get back when the wait time is not as long to try some of the other items on the menu.
Amazing in every way! Ann was our server and she delivered pure southern hospitality in every way! The food was delicious too!!! Ill be back during the time I will be here working the Masters!
We love this place! The food and service is always good!
Amazing! First time trying it and it was everything. I ordered take out( chicken and waffles) and it was delicious.
Really good food and service. Very generous portions, and exceptionally kind staff.
Food was great. Staff was friendly and attentive
What can I say but Im full thank you metro dinner
Great southern style food. Plenty to take home also. Reasonable prices.
Metro diner is awesome! Service was great. Food was delicious. They serve breakfast all day! My wife got the biscuits and gravy! Came with eggs and hash browns too! It was a huge amount of food for the price! I had the chicken parm! Very good!! We will definitely be back for the breakfast menu!
I ate here due to traveling to Charleston SC. We were starving so I googled some eating spots. Its rare to find a diner in the South.On this day it was not crowded. The server was friendly, attentive and had some good recommendations. I ordered the Fried Chicken and Waffles with Strawberry Butter and my bestie had the Fish and Chips.My plate was enormous and guess what? I tore it up. Chicken was so on point whew so good. I was skeptical of the Strawberry Butter but it was delicious. I need to replicate it. I also had a side of bacon cooked perfectly.Great dining experience with good food and cheap eats. Also the restroom was very clean and diners were spaced out to social distance.
Wait was a little longer but we were a party of 9. The service was really good and the food was super tasty!! They have a good menu selection as well. I would definitely go back!
This place is so awesome! Serves big portions and everyone who works there seems to luv their job❤
Chicken was flavorful, but not thoroughly cooked. Disappointed due to price for the quality of food
The food here was delicious and the presentation of all of our items were on point.
1st timer. Fast friendly service. Food was great! I will be going back.
I love eating at Metro Diner the food is always awesome and the service.
The food and service is always great. Typically they are pack around 9-10am, but we lucked up. We didn’t have to wait even 5 minutes. I had the chicken and waffles and my sister had a western omelette scrambled with cheese grits and a biscuit! Everything came out pretty quick and was good and hot. Will be back to try their Charleston shrimp pasta!
First time at Metro and wait staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Restaurant was very clean and food was very good and quickly prepared.
Excellent wait staff with a professional yet personal demeanor. Very prompt and kept my coffee cup full. The food was excellent and far above average. Eggs were cooked perfectly as ordered and thick cut bacon was crisp as ordered without being burnt. Would definitely go back.
Not to bad of a place. Clean reastraunt. Stopped here for breakfast and got the Western omelette. The omelette was good but wasnt impressed with the toast. Our waitress was good. She didnt worry us every 5 minutes but didnt neglect us either.
Great place! Breakfast, lunch, dinner any time of the day! A full menu. Average plate is around $9.00. Very clean and has a friendly staff!
This is my second time there and it was still awesome. The bacon was done exactly the way I liked it the Grits are amazing with the cheese and coffee and the eggs were just perfect. I may try a dinner there next time but the breakfasts are so good.
Good food and service, a little pricey for what you get.
The food is always amazing there! I have never had anything bad. Tonight our service was ok. Not great and the restaurant was far from full. However, the manager came over a few times and checked on us (which I really appreciated) and got us the items we needed when we didnt see our server. I love the daily specials. This is one of those great places where you can get breakfast all day.
I’ve come here quite a few times.. it always been wonderful.. however this past visit the service wasn’t great and my silverware was still dirty. Grabbed another pair and those were dirty with food particles as well. Probably won’t be going back after that.
I-m from Florida here for the first time and I must say this place is off the chain! First the food was perfect and big portions too. My waitress Calista was awesome was at my table every few min to sees if I needed anything. Not long of a wait for my food or to be sated. I think Ive found my go to diner while here. Vary very good service and place to comes sat.
Wonderful 1st experience! The food was good and the service was even better.
You can get some absolutely fantastic items here like the chicken and waffles and omlettes. Ive also had some duds too, like the Shepard pie. Stick to what you like and youre going to get a great meal. Extremely busy on weekend mornings so go early.
The Metro Diner is a chain establishment. It serves a wide variety of foods. We were there for breakfast and it was good.
This place is no question a 5. The food was amazing, the portions were plentiful, and the service was great. I ordered the chicken dinner and my girl ordered the shrimp and grits. I will be back every chance I get. If you want the meatloaf get there early cause it may be gone!
Sat down for an hour with no food. They dont have whats on the menu. The server I had was Very rude. Made a scene about not taking a friends Id off her phone but brought her drink as soon as we told the manager he was horrible to us. He didnt get my food right and I couldnt even eat because I had limited time for lunch and didnt like the food he gave me. Asked for a different server and he isisted he needed the money. Not impressed.
My boyfriend and I come here literally ALL THE TIME. We are always pleased with our food and our wait staff, no matter who we have. Marcus is especially wonderful. He always makes sure we are taken care of.
At a time when I was most hungry after 6 games of bowling, Metro Diner came through. Two huge pieces of fish with fries and coleslaw.
This place has great food. I had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. My bf had the chorizo burger and onion rings seen below. Also the loaded baked potato soup was just what we needed on a rainey day. This place is definitely worth a try and well be back to try other things on the menu. Looks like they have daily specials. Enjoy your meal guys!
The food was awful. I had a to go. Never will return.
My niece and I came for the first time and our experience is one for the books. The staff is very friendly and restaurant is well kept. Our waitress Samantha totally rocked! And our food was very delicious. Keep up the good work!!!
Ive only been here a few times but it has never disappointed. Everyone in my party got their food, perfectly cooked, and in portions big enough for two. The service is always great. The food is always delicious.
Great and plentiful..Family had chicken& waffles 5 star, french dip w/ double meat and cheese added onions 4 star, au jus was very salty.9 99 fish Friday 4 starsWait Staff 6 stars.Great local placeWould highly recommend
Went in waited forever for our food to arrive at our table it was Sunday 10/31 the chicken thigh I received was raw notice it when I got home. The waiter was new he was overloaded with tables so he totally forgot about our food. It wasnt his fault. We still decided to tip him regardless. The manager was very apologetic and didnt charge my table. I have had better service before maybe it was a bad day. I wont chance it of visiting again.
Excellent service! The cinnamon roll pancakes are amazing!!
Theres always going to be a wait but its always worth it. I can eat once there in the morning and be good for the rest of the day. For lunch, I enjoy the Monte Cristo and the breakfast is usually whatever the special on the board is.
I like Metro Diner because they have great service and delicious food. The waffles are fantastic and the Benedict eggs are amazing.The service is very welcoming and friendly.
It took over 30 minutes for us to get our curbside order and our fries were all overcooked and some of mine were burnt and blackened. The servers came out and explained the inconvenience on the foods cook time and were nice, but I wish my food would have came out better, especially with this being me and my familys first time coming here.
Phenomenal food! I love the Chicken & Waffles! My honey had the breakfast burger and loved it. The manager even gave him a free slice of cake for his birthday!
Excellent service, Marcus was an excellent cook and served up the best cinnamon swirl pancakes and Belgian waffles
Thankfully on a Sunday morning they had open outside tables. I definitely wouldnt have stayed if they didnt have have outdoor dining! The food was good. Reasonably priced. There was not a lot of menu options.
Service was disgusting food was okay we have been here plenty of times and service has been awesome the waitress was too busy chit-chatting with the other waitresses so service was not good
Great food and service. A must go to spot
Pretty good food, we went during a less busy day but found the staff were less attentive to customers in following up during meal consumption. Overall though it wasnt too bad and Ive definitely seen worse. Work on that and thats an easy 5 star establishment.
Service is always great and the food is great havent had any complaints
Small plate portions but, delicious food. I loved the Chicken tenders and Waffle (kids meal) it was the bomb!!!!! I also ordered a Buffalo wings and a meatloaf dinner for my Husband and he was very happy!!!! I also ordered a beef tip dinner it was good but, not as delicious as my Chicken & Waffles!!!! We will be back in a couples weeks!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
Always the best waffles, delicious mimosas, and great service.
Ordered breakfast for brunch. It was very tasty and served hot and fresh. Your recipe for pancakes is superb! Proper condiments were brought such as syrup and butter etc. The hostess was friendly but rushed. The waitress was efficient but rushed as well.
That was my 1st time at this restaurant. Thanks to my daughter and I loved it. Especially the chicken and waffle. Four pieces of chicken. I truly had enough for lunch and dinner it was so much.
Great place to eat! Great service! Good food! Left my credit card by accident and called the next day and they had it! Thank God for honest people! Also I frlt like it was Pre-Pandemic! Amazing experience!
So delicious and very generous portion sizes ! Once time we were eating here while it was raining and they walked everyone out to their cars with umbrellas!
Always the best breakfast Chicken n Waffles in town.
The sticky fried chicken and waffles were outstanding and plenty off food to satisfy a even the hungriest person. I ended up taking food home. I was told by my luch guests that The breakfast burger and French dip were delicious as well. Weve been here before and will definitely be back.
I have been to the original Metro Diner many times in Jacksonville FL, so I can say the one in Augusta, Georgia is just as good. I ordered the meatloaf plate and was not disappointed.
Love this place. This time I ordered the Chkn & waffles. The food was great, the service was lacking a bit. (Couldve been the girls off day) But overall, pleasant visit.
We hit the Metro Diner for afternoon breakfast. Waffles were great. Overall, food, service and ambiance were all the best you could expect. To quote Terminator, Ill be back.
Visiting from out-of-town and had my dinner delivered. The chicken pot pie was YUMMY and the churros were the perfect comfort food (but really enough for at least 2 people).So glad I chose Metro Diner for dinner!
Been wanting to eat at this establishment for a while now but always seemed to be really busy whenever an opportunity presented itself. Thought I lucked out until the food came. Pessimisticly, you kind of expect not to get the best food experience when you arrive less than 2 hours before closing but I was still hopeful. I ordered the veggie omelette plate. It wasnt very good at all. Veggies were raw and colder than the egg! seasoning. Hasbrowns had a little too much fat on the plate from when it was cooked. I think it was butter? Unfortunately I also received an English muffin that wasnt toasted...., at all. Besides the fact I really hoped it was an off night and at some point will give them another chance, it was the service provided by one young lady (whose name unfortunately I didnt get) that will have me return sooner than later. She clearly understood the value of good food and service in a restaurant. So I will return and give them another chance.., during the day.., when there probably will be another more experienced chef whose a regular on duty.
So good! Quick and kind service even when busy
So delicious it was my first time going but it wont be my last
I did a call in curbside order. When I get there to pick it up I called them and let them know Im there just like I do every time and they said okay well have it right out. Then I waited for 15 minutes and I called back in there and a girl answers the phone and says we dont bring it out to you you have to come inside to get it. Now I have done several online and telephone curbside orders and Ive never had to come and get out of my car to come inside to pick it up that defeats the purpose of a curbside order. So my fries are cold and soggy and I didnt get my two sweet teas and I go back inside to get my two sweet teas and they blame me for not standing inside and waiting long enough for them to fix my teas. And please understand that this is 47 minutes after I initially called in my order. That is unacceptable. Especially with the pandemic for an employee to tell a customer they have to come inside to pick up their CURBSIDE order! The service was rude and food was not fresh!! I always tip them for my curbside orders but not sure if Ill even go back now!
We were happy to see the Me to diner open. We both ordered their special shrimp. &roasted corn chowder. Excellent nice service, only downer was my coffee servers on warm. Second cup was hotter. Worth the effort to have lunch here
So Im out of town out of my comfort zone looking for comfort food.... I google fish and grits and see this review saying their shrimp and grits are A1... I get there and Im offered a mimosa for 2.99 its not a special, its not happy hour thats just the price all day. So I sip my mimosa and wait for fish chips and grits takeout all for less than $20. It was epic;)
Expect a wait on the weekends, but its worth it. Great food.
Have only collected delivery orders for others. Havent had the pleasure to eat here yet. But the food looks good! A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Definitely could improve on the speed. As Ive stood around for 10min or more just waiting for an employee to acknowledge me, but all and all seems like a good place!
I tried chickens and waffle. Waffle is so delicious! Unfortunately, I don’t know why I got 4 different chickens(1 wing, 1 thigh, 1 leg, and 1 breast). My chickens might been over cooked because of dark and almost dried with hot fresh. I might misread menu and thought it was a chicken wings. Next time, I don’t want to see dark or dry again.
In the pic it’s one way but ordered to go it came out missing the toppings and stuffed my pancakes in small container……😠
I went to Metro Diner two or three times for breakfast and once for dinner while in Augusta for the 2021 EYBL/Peach Jam Tournament. Pleased with the food and service every time. (Ordered a range of food from Eggs Benedict, to Spicy Honey Chicken Salad, and Chicken & Waffles & more.)For dinner, my girlfriend and I came in near closing time. We sat at the counter and enjoyed good food, conversation and laughs with the cooks and management -- Cleveland, Larry & Mike. So much fun! We will be back next year.
Got right to a table. Good waitress. Had the Iron City Meatloaf. Was very good. Steamed green beans were good ( I prefer aldente). Wife had the vegetarian omelette with cheese grits. Loved it.
Food was absolutely amazing and so was the service! I had the chicken and waffles along with a mimosa. Everything was cooked to perfection and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone!
So happy to find this place, BLT for me and chicken and waffles for John
Food was delicious with huge portions. Staff very friendly we walked in with a group of eleven and they all jumped in to take care of us even the manager. Highly recommend.
Classic breakfast burger with a side order of grits. It was delicious!
Breakfast was extremely fresh! Food came out quickly even though it was packed with people in there. I recommend the omelet and the Belgium waffles!! Grits were watery but the bacon made up for it!
Didnt received any condiments for burgers and steak. Chicken was fried to hard.
The waitress Kodi was the best👍🏽 she made us feel like we mattered,,, I give her 5 stars. The chicken did not have no flavor and it was fried so hard I couldnt enjoy it. The waffles were great👍🏽,,,,,,
Food is good! Manager Brian really showed me customer service is not dead! Thank you Brian and I will be back soon! The shrimp and grit cakes are delicious!
My husband and I absolutely love this diner. We are from Indiana, but my husband is working outside of Augusta. We come here every chance we get. We have only ever eaten here on Sundays for breakfast and it is always very busy. So the earlier you can get there, the better. We are currently waiting to be seated. Trust me, though. It is totally worth the wait.
We had a fanatastic experience.. We ordered the shrimp and grits, it was so delicious. My wife really appreciated the great service. Then we met melinda with childhelp. She was so sweet and informative and we were more than excited to help a child in need. We loved the fact that this establishment gets involved with the community. It was our first time going there and we definitely will be back.
Great Value, Very Friendly Staff, Great Portions. Definitely a must!
This was our first time eating here and I must say I enjoyed my burger onion ring plate. Social distancing was not as I would have approved of, because they didnt have a empty table between seating. But overall we would eat there again. Our waitress was nice and she checked on us multiple times to make sure we were pleased with our food, drinks and service.
I recommend going online and getting on the wait list first. Next, I recommend the steak and egg bowl. This was steak, scrambled eggs, and grape tomatoes served over hash browns all covered in hollandaise sauce. The steak bites were tender and flavorful. The tomatoes didnt add or take away, but the other flavors worked great together.
Staff was amazing! Havent had that kind of dining experience in forever! Mark was thee best and made sure that we were well taken care of! Thanks Mark ☺️
Good place to eat. We were driving through to Myrtle Beach and decided to stop at lunch time. The cheesy grits are exceptional. Everything we had was good. Service was great. Will stop again.
Since opening, there have been a change in cooking personnel. Not as delectable as once before.
Amazing service and food! First time my husband and I came here and we were definitely not disappointed. Our sweet server noticed before i started eating my salad because i asked about what i thought were carrots, she immediately picked up my salad ( i have celiac disease so my food can’t come in contact with gluten nor can ingest it) because what i thought was carrots was actually a different form of croutons and saved my intestines! Definitely will be coming back to eat here!
Metro food is good. Service is good. Its well worth the wait because on some days or mornings you will be waiting for a seat inside. But like I said, Food is well worth the wait.
I’m sorry to say this but I don’t recommend this place. Haven’t been here in years. Not since the name change. I ordered the chicken salad croissant sandwich and it was gross. The chicken salad had no flavor and some of the chicken bits were chewy. The fries weren’t very good either. I just wanted some traditional diner food with some hot crispy fries. Maybe their chicken salad isn’t their thing. Maybe their other food is decent. They were nice and quick though.
I love the service here. The food is delicious and affordable. My daughter and I had lunch there on June 2, 2021. Our waitress was professional and our wait time for our meal was reasonable.
The food was delicious, our waitress was polite, the food serveed up really fast. Everyone in our group very much enjoyed theyre food. I had the Shepard pie. Outstanding.
My daughter went to this place and ordered a chicken salad croissant and raved about how it was to her. So I decided to try this place myself. The customer service was horrendous. I called in my order to a person named Mike at 1:36pm he told me it would be ready in 15mins. I arrived at the diner on curbside at 1:53pm and called as directed on the sign to let them know I was there. I was greeted by a lady named Melanie who said she’d let them know. My order arrived at my car after me having to call them again at 2:23pm. The gentleman who came out was really nice I advised him I will not be returning it’s my first and last time patronizing this location. Customer service is very important but the person answering the phones and in charge of handling my order today was not good at all. I spend my money where customer service and satisfaction is guaranteed and I didn’t get that here. So maybe the food was good to my daughter but I’m not spending my money anywhere that has horrible customer service and that’s why I give them a one star rating.
We had to come to Augusta for less than happy reasons,, but the stop at Metro Diner was amazing!I had the chicken potpie, I was a little reserved when it arrived, it appear to have a very light and flaky crust, almost as a croissant. Boy was I wrong! It was absolutely fantastic!! My girlfriend got the fried steak with mashed potatoes and greenbeans. They brought out a side of beef!! It was huge! The red mashed potatoes were better than any homemade I have ever had. I didnt try her green beans, but she liked them. The wait staff was great, we had a trainee, and his trainer. They were great. Food was awesome, prices were great considering the quality and portions! The dining room was clean! GO HERE FOR AN AWESOME MEAL!Went back for breakfast today (saturday) the lot was PACKED! We were told 25 -30 min wait. They seated us in 15 min. We had our same server, (Barbara) who is awesome. The meat lovers omelet was GREAT. Hash browns with onion and bacon added was AWESOME! ZERO complaints at all!!GO HERE FOR A GREAT MEAL, at a great value!
I was disappointed in this Metro Diner. The first one is in my city down in Florida. The menu here is extremely small. My over medium eggs were barely over light ie egg snot. The cheese on the grits was burnt. Yes, I ate some of it, I was very hungry running.Had to ask for butter, our sides, no coffee refills unless we asked. And our wonderful waitress felt so bad, she told them to remake my whole meal, and it was very obvious that they had no clue how to cook an egg over medium! These were equally runny. So that was packed up to go.Definitely not like the ones back home.

2022-01-08Love Metro Diner! Its a small places with big flavors. The fried chicken is sooo delicious, moist and always fresh. I am also always impressed by the large amount of food received for the price. If you go during peak hours you may have to wait a bit, but the food and friendly service is well worth the wait. Metro Diner is definitely a go-to restaurant for all of your breakfast, brunch and lunch needs!

2022-01-22I got the Shrimp & Grits and my daughter got the Chicken & Waffles. There was SO much food! We were both really amazed by the huge serving sizes but what really impressed us was how incredibly delicious everything was! Mine had enormous shrimp & the grits cakes were savory & smooth, a little overboard on the sauce & topped with lots of thick crunchy bacon. Her Fried Chicken had just the right amount of crunch & came with a spicy honey dipping sauce along side a big, fluffy Belgian Waffle. I cant think of anything that could possibly have made our lunch selections any better! Absolutely the best lunch weve both had in years! Kudos to Metro Diner!

2022-04-11You MUST TRY THIS PLACE. I passed by it for the longest time and finally decided to give it a shot. The chicken and waffles are sooo yummy!! it’s such a big portion and well worth the money. The biscuit sausage and gravy are super good too, but the biscuits do have a battery taste. I think part of our 5 star visit was because of our lovely waitress, can’t remember her name, but she was expecting and gave us excellent service! will be back for sure!!

2021-12-25Ive been here several times and love their food. This particular day I got chicken and waffles and the waffles come with strawberry butter. It was very good! You get a breast, wing, leg, and thigh with your waffles. It was more than enough. The mimosas were good also. They actually had more than a teaspoon of champagne like some places do😄. This is a diner so all their portions are hefty and at a good price!

2022-01-19I had a great experience here. The food was excellent. The service was prompt and friendly. Good variety on the menu. I had no idea the breakfast burritos were made with waffle instead of tortillas, and they were awesome!

2021-11-09On an extended visit from Brooklyn, NY; found this spot based on Google reccomendations. Convenient location off of the highway, large portions for a good price, quick wait time, okay service and decent food. Offered typical diner style food with the hype revolving around the Chicken & Waffles which boasts very large portions but bland Chicken (tasted like KFC Original). Took advantage of the Mimosa Specials (Apple Pie) which was not a Mimosa but either apple juice & cheap bubbly or plain hard cider w/ a cinnamon sugar rim in a tall glass. Good spot for quick, cheap and convenient eats.
