They do have good breakfasts.....Eggs Benedict was excellent. Large sandwiches for lunch. Hard to get in...there's usually a wait of at least 20 minutes....more like 40 (on a Saturday morning in the Mandarin location). Walked right into the San Marco restaurant around 9:50 on a Thursday morning tho.

We usually get here early for Sunday breakfast (before 8 AM) to avoid the Sunday crowd. Their service usually is fast and accurate. The food is good 'ole diner food with a bit of style and a lot of flavor. Eggs Benedict is always well-prepared. I see lots of patrons eating Fried Chicken and pancakes for breakfast. Too much for...

I think there is way too much hype about this place only because it was on a TV show. That doesn't make it good. I've been here several times, for lunch and breakfast. All of those times it has just been average. Nothing great. The stuffed french toast had no flavor despite being the talked about dish. Not the first... More

For being such a simple meal, it's so far to find a good breakfast place when your on the road. Well if your in Jacksonville, FL you need to make a stop at Metro Diner at one of its 2 locations (San Marco and Jax Beach). When it was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Drives, the mouthwatering Yo Hala On... More

Absolutely delicious. The portions are tremendous so bring an appetite. Some of the best corned beef hash I've ever eaten. Next time I am trying the chicken and waffles! Service was prompt. We hit Metro for a late breakfast (about 9:15) on a Friday and only had a less than 10 minute wait, but the locals that we ate with... More

There's a reason this diner was on the TV show "Diner, Drive-in and Dives" because your getting the best Jacksinville has to offer.

hands down the best diner in jacksonville. They also have a location on San Jose that we always frequent. gourmet breakfast best describes them. Last I ate there for lunch and had a fried fish sandwich, maybe it was because I was so hungry, but I ate this huge sandwich in about 57 seconds. I didn't regret it.

What a gem! Found Metro Diner through tripadvisor. My husband and I had the best brunch there a few weeks ago. Best food! Best service! The fried chicken and waffle is out of this world!!

Stopped at the Mandarin location on a rainy Friday and sat at the counter. Enjoyed watching the kitchen crew churn out fantastic plates. Ordered the Baked Italian Hoagie for the first time and it was delicious. It had pepperoni on it that they managed to cook a bit so the edges were just crisped enough to taste great. I ordered...

Went to Metro Diner for lunch while in Jacksonville. Our first time we went to the new location at Jacksonville Beach. It's a nice size diner. It was still crowded after 1:00 but we didn't have a wait. The atmosphere reminded me of a New York diner. We got the mushroom swiss burger with fries and the roast beef &... More
