Metro Diner - Tampa

We really wanted to like this place more than we did. The food was generally under season, the waffle came with hard, non-soft butter? and our waitress had a hard time finding hot syrup (she broke one of her syrup dispensers the day before). While the food was unimpressed, our waitress was very good? attentive and friendly.

Food is good, but I felt like it could 've been great if it wasn 't so crowded. I guess a Quality/Quantity type of thing. Our waitress Dallas was amazing and very Attentive! Though the food was overcooked, it came out pretty fast. I 'd been waiting to go here a while, first impression not that great (food wise). Edit : Not to be rude at all. But most people wouldn 't have sent it that way. So it 's not necessarily on me to tell a chef the toast or bacon is overcooked. When by observation of others, theirs hasn 't been prepared that way. As I stated, I feel like it was because of the morning rush and I 'm understanding of that. I hope that when I come at another time you do prepare something that I will love. Thank you for your reply ?

I can definitely see why they have posted on the wall.... This is where the locals eat. This place is probably the best breakfast place you 're going to find anywhere around. And the service was very fast and very friendly. I got the biscuits and gravy and it was absolutely loaded with sausage and tasted like it was made from scratch.

I came here for the first time as I was recommended their chicken and waffles. Their food did not disappoint and the customer service was top notch! Outdoor seating was available but we chose to sit inside, place is plenty spacious and well kept. This is a local gem. I will return and highly recommend.

I have been wanting to visit for quite a while now but had not made the time... I was missing out and now regret how long I took to visit! The food was fantastic and the servings ample. Just look at that club sandwich! ? The service was equally as great. I literally cannot wait to visit again and bask in the goodness that Metro Diner has to offer! 10/10 recommend!
