Usual diner fare with some healthy options. Multigrain pancakes, waffles. I had the egg white low cholesterol omelette with sliced tomatoes and rye. Smoked salmon omelette looked good too. Plenty of meats for those inclined as well. At this point in life I much prefer coffee with eggs and toast for n Sunday rather than a haute couture Benedict and endless mimosas a la DJ.
We had our first lunch ( or any meal) inside the Metro Diner in over a year! And everything we ate was delicious. We sat socially distanced from the other guests. The manager reminded someone to put on his mask but did it in the most respectful way possible. We loved the service as well as the food!
Dont know about the dinner here but I had the breakfast and it was good. My wife and I had the French Toast with bacon. French toast fried well and the bacon nicely fried.Did not see it on the menu, but would like real Maple Syrup, Id pay for it like other places offer.Overall I was happy and my wife was satisfied.
Ive been here couple of times and i never get disappointed. The food is very good and the price are just fine. The staff is very attentive. I love the outside seating, it looks very beautiful and comfortable.
Typical American diner with a nostalgic 60s style feeling. Great pancakes and many different omlet options to chose from. Strong but delicious coffee!
This review is not about the food. The food is good as far as diners are concerned. But the bathrooms were horrible. They were filthy. My husband said the same about the mens room. During this time of Covid they should be clean. What a shame.
A true NYC diner with a solid breakfast. Be prepared to show your vaccine card.
I ate at Metro Diner many times. Last time it was during the Covid-19 pandemic and I sat indoors. Menu options, as expected and understandably, were limited but still plentiful. I ordered its Reuben sandwich with very crispy fries. The food was well above expectations. Service was quick and friendly. Safety measures were enforced effectively. I’m glad Metro Diner is still surviving despite the capacity restrictions.
Great food! Great Service! A local staple that has been around for a very long time. One of a kind!
A great and amazing staple on the ever changed UWS... Be prepared to wait for a table on weekends but totally worth it! All the faves! Get the Lumber Jack Breakfast!
Excellent traditional diner. Where else could you have chocolate chip pancakes and sausage at 10pm!
This is the go-to diner in the Upper West Side. Classic, simple NYC diner grub. Amazing interior and excellent staff. Breakfast here is among the best I’ve had of any diner in the city, I regularly get Eggs Benedict or Chocolate Chip pancakes, always excellent. Burgers here are always cooked how you asked and presented very well. Greek owners so be sure to try the Greek dishes: the moussaka for me is absolutely amazing!
Their breakfast is delicious! Ingredients taste fresh and the service was great
Food was good, fair prices and the service was excellent.
This diner is great if you just want a quick and simple bite to eat. I usually go with family or friends when we’re walking around or in the area. Giving 4 stars because I had a bad experience with a worker.
Great diner!! Friendly staff and great prices and food. They have outside dining as well. Will definitely be back.
Always delicious...never disappoints. I get the Metro Frittata every time and its tremendous. I eat half for lunch and the the rest for dinner. Yum.
Good location and fast service. They have both indoor and outdoor space.
Good place. Basic diner with a pretty decent menu. Prices are good. Staff is great too.
Best 👍 Deli in Town. Great scrumptious food. Terrific 👌 staff, from the waiter to the cook.
Neighborhood Diner, of course Greek ownership. The food is good, classic American diner. The service is ok, nothing special, zero personality, I guess they can afford that, it was packed. Nobody greeted us at the entrance... the only interaction was: how many? The owner is always there and always looks upset...! I know it’s is a tough business, long hours etc. but life is too short, ENJOY!!
Felt like family the people are really kind and sweet
Fast service and great prices. Food was very good. I enjoyed the gyro wrap.
Food is good. Looks like an diner from back in the day, clean and friendly serving staff.. But it is a lil pricey for an cheese burger...
Good service and great food. Always clean especially bathroom.
Classic American dinner with all day breakfasts. My wifes salmon salad was generous in size. My pork chops were just what I wanted. Not too big and not too small. Cooked nicely and with fried onions, although I just realized that they forgot the apple sauce. The chocolate mouse cake was incredibly moist--one of the most delicious I have had anywhere. Our one complaint was that when the air conditioning was in it was blowing right on us and too cold. Still recommend Metro Diner.
The Metro Diner is a very popular eatery at the corner of Broadway and West 100th Street in Manhattan. An established restaurant, it has been open for at least 25 years and I have walked by this place literally hundreds of times.My experiences regarding the food I have had here is that at times it is very good and other times nothing special. The Metro Diner does have excellent hamburgers with French fries, good salads and daily dinner specials in the $13-$20 range, plus tip.It is not noisy and it is a good place to have an enjoyable meal with family or friends.
Sometimes its five star sometimes its not, not polite phone person when ordering but I can say as regular customer the foods always been wonderful.
Very above average diner!
Metro is a comfort-food paradise. The staff work incredibly hard to satisfy their customers.
Fries are overdone and burger is *really* tough (both kaiser roll and beef patties are tough - the roll is stale, but I have no idea what is making the burger difficult to eat.) Cole slaw was awful.Service is good, and I have previously gotten ok food here - the chicken kabob last time was tough as well, though. I would think that the food was being overcooked, but it came out too fast to be overcooked enough to be tough. I believe the meats are precooked in the back and are then either recooked or microwaved before serving. For $16 for a burger, fries, and deluxe items (lettuce, tomato, and coke slaw,) I would have hoped for a freshly cooked burger.
Sat for 20+mins without anyone taking our order despite flagging servers and the manager several times. The people sitting by our side also had not placed their orders despite arriving before us. Don’t increase your seating capacity if you do not have the personnel to serve people in a timely manner.
The food was great! The staff helpful and friendly. Nice night out!
Our first time here, ate outside enjoyed it all.
Large meals, great taste, awesome service. I had a really good cobb salad.
They are very good. But need more servers. Theres a bit of a wait for the food
Its a nice place to have brunch which on the UWS.
Great food. The waitress was very nice and efficient.
Everything I wanted I a diner and more.
French toast and sausage always on point
Dont have complain
Always great service. Good selection of low to medium priced meals. Great cheesecake, BLT was very good. Outdoor dinning still available as well as pickup.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The only thing I could tell you the food was pretty decent and the service was great.
I liked it. But it was something Else. I rather go to IHOP.
Service was good. I was not to crazy about my burger. I do enjoy a testy burger and this one lacked more flavor.
Food is delicious and they offer outdoor dining.
Had There delicious burger. Love this restaurant and the staff. Wonderful comfort food with being cooked out of love.The sweetest delivery guy brought my lunch with a warm smile and lovely attitude.
Very good service, friendly and professional! Every dish was delicious
Love this place! Great food and service.
Took way too long to give us water and served other guests who arrived after us. We were super hungry so we couldnt wait any longer and left.
Food was good. It was nice to sit down
Good breakfast crispy real hash brown potatoes not frozen! Tasty thick sausage.
Great food and good service
Love this place. Staff is very friendly
BEWARE of using your credit card here. After leaving a nice tip they had the nerve to increase the charge by $2 as I saw on my credit card statement when comparing it to my receipt. Shame on you Metro Diner!
I wish there were more places like this around town. Looking forward to a return visit. Reminds me of a place in New York I liked to visit.
Took over 20 minutes to get any food and poor service very disappointed.
The food and service was wonderful. The prices werent bad either. Definently will return!!!
I woke craving waffles so I got an order for pick up from this local diner. They clearly stayed home the day in cooking school that would have taught them not to put whipped cream on top of hot waffles and it in a container. By the time I got home it was an inedible Soggy mess. I was so dissapointed.
Great amd friendly service . Good food, try the Ruby Reuben. Yum, yum, yummy .
Good food
Food was delicious!! Seated quickly! Waitress was attentive. Definitely would recommend. Their food taste like its made fresh with the freshest ingredients. I had the Chicken Parmesan. Salad was the most colorful fresh salad Ive ever tasted!
I paid $19.25 for two pieces of cold French toast and waited over an hour for a delivery in which I paid another $7 so a total of 27 dollars for two cold pieces of French toast and a super late deliveryNever again would I order from here
Good food, fast service.
Cut out the middleman! Order FREE delivery directly from the diner. Everyone wins!
Super delicious. The staff was very helpful and observant.
A great example of a vanishing breed. Tasty food, value for the money. A neighborhood institution.
Good food and good prices! The staff is very nice and fast. Rosa was very nice and the busboy as well. I liked that they spoke to us in Spanish and made the service more personalized. They both checked back to see if we needed anything. The decor is traditional and well kept! Very pleasant atmosphere.
Food was very good
Great burgers and good service!
Food was great and staff was very friendly. Great experience.
