The food was pretty good but that is where it goes downhill. It took 10 minutes to get water and coffee to the table. I was offered a refill once in my dining. It took 45 minutes to get the food out. The blame was said to be a large party. The place was a little over half full. Had I realized the coffee station was five feet from me, I would have got it myself.

Food was fantastic!! I highly recommend the chicken and waffles. Not one person at our table was unhappy about their meal and we all got something different. The music is terrible and they play it loud, but that's the only down side. The service was a little confusing. We weren't sure to seat ourselves, it all worked out though. It's full service you do wait to be seated.
Since living on 280, I have frequently visited this metro diner. It's one of my favorite places to get breakfast, and I love to bring friends and family to it. Metro Diner has a warm and inviting environment that always makes me want to return for more. I typically switch up what I get, but I got their strawberry shortcake waffle this time. It was delicious and super fresh. The seasonal pancakes and waffles are always the best in my opinion. The restaurant itself was super clean, and the staff was very friendly. I definitely recommend it; the service is always great!

The place I chose to eat at was "Metro Dinner" which is like 5 minutes from where I leave. It's located on 180 Inverness Plaza, Birmingham, Al, 35242. This is a place I have eaten at before and would come here at least twice a month when I can. There are several different dishes you could try whether you're in the mood for breakfast or a simple lunch. I prefer the traditional chicken and waffles plate. I also had their strawberry shortcake pancakes, 'which is really good by the way, and have had their fried chicken sandwich meal. So it's a lot you can choose from and actually recommend coming here. It's like a Waffle House but bigger and their services are pretty good. As for any Covid 19 concerns I personally feel they are well cleaned and sanitary, there like any other dinner or restaurant you may have gone to.

Took my family there last night for dinner. We were sat immediately and then sat there for roughly 10 minutes before the waitress introduced herself and got our drinks. There was only one other table with customers in the restaurant and they left when we were sitting down. After another 10 minutes, we got up and walked out. We were the only customers in the restaurant for 20+ minutes and our orders still had not been taken. Must have been one hell of a party in the back.We went across the street to On Tap and were eating within 10 minutes of being sat.

Cute diner with delicious food and great service. We had breakfast, and everything from the coffee to the hashbrowns was fantastic.
WAFFLEY WEDDED! Metro diner, is nothing new to Courtney and I. In fact it's one of the best spots to enjoy diner food! Metro Diner believe it or not is a franchise and we had them in FL as well as other states outside of Alabama. They are known for their chicken and waffles, but everything you get from here will be delicious! The strawberry butter that comes with the chicken and waffles is unlike anything you have ever tried. Berry berry good! We came here last weekend for breakfast and it was perfection. We're a little worried about arriving later in the morning, but it wasn't a problem and we were sat almost immediately! Our waitress, Angela took amazing care of us. Check in when she saw fit! But also not hovering if you know what I mean. Courtney ordered the Chicken and waffles and I ordered the fruity waffle, which is exactly what it sounds like. A blueberry waffle served with fresh strawberries on top. Though I wished that this waffle also included the strawberry butter as it matches the theme of the dish. Overall; service is great, food is scrumptious and the ambience definitely gives a throw back kind of feel to it! Highly recommend checking out Metro Diner if you get the chance!

Love the variety of offerings. Ann was our server. She was great. We were a group of 13. Ann was organized and prompt to meet our needs. Excellent.

We always enjoy eating here. We come a lot after getting off work at the hospital. They open early AND serve alcohol! The wait is never terribly long and they have amazing mixed drinks. What more could an ER Nurse want?! My personal favorite is the Bloody Mary (made the O'Charleys way). And you can't go wrong with any of the mimosas! I just wish they had the option to order a pitcher! The chicken and waffles with strawberry butter is to die for. You have the option for spicy or normal syrup. The spicy doesn't have too much heat. It's just right. Shrimp and grits is another one of our favorites! Nomtastic! The prices are also fair for the amount of food you get. The tables and restrooms are usually very clean and well kept. You can pretty much always count on there being a decent amount of noise because they stay busy!
