Metro 29 Diner Restaurant: Where Classic American Dining Meets Flavorful Comfort

This is a great retro diner with all the chrome and neon lights. Parking is at the rear with access to the restaurant from either side. We were seated right away and the booths are comfy. Service is very good with all the servers dressed nicely and uniformly. The menu choices are extensive and they serve breakfast all day. There really is so much on the menu from Italian to Greek to American and more. Our food, we ordered the French onion soup, then I had the gyro and my wife the chicken and broccoli, all was excellent. We got dessert to go! Go here and have a great time with great food.

It was our first time visiting this place and it did not disappoint! Quick service, tasty food and great price for the portion...it is a big portion! We ended taking the rest home. Maybe next time we will share. We didn't try the desserts since we didnt have room but we will definitely do it when we get back! They have a pretty extensive menu and great selection of desserts!

Decided to go before the lunch rush but surprisingly, the diner was already packed by 11:00. Parking lot was also full but luckily I found a spot. Was seated near the diner counter in the small booth. Ordered the Turkey Triple Decker sandwich with french fries. My food was delicious and very fulfilling. My waiter, which I don't recall (sorry) was very attentive until a couple sat down at the diner counter then their group decided to follow behind them to place an order to go. Reminder the diner was already packed! They were standing blocking the aisle and I was trying to enjoy my meal but who can if their behinds were a couple of feet away from you! They were loud, using profanity and conversing about adult things. There were young children around and I was shocked the workers didn't say anything. I tried to get my waiter's attention but he was so caught up with the group. I had to wait over 30 minutes until I was able to get my waiter's attention. I had to ask another worker for a box to go and my check. Waited another 15 minutes ! Despite the group issue and having to wait for my waiter, I might give them another try only because the food was delicious. This time, I'll ask not to be seated near the diner's counter.

I had dinner here with church friends and the three of us had delicious meals. The meat loaf, trout, and roast turkey dinners were a big hit! Nice ambiance, clean, comfortable, quiet with a terrific staff. Our server Angel was an angel...so accommodating and friendly. It was my first visit here since the late 90s, but I'll be back for sure!

This restaurant food is consistent it is always great the servings are humongous the service is awesome the hostess is open the door for the party I was with to enter into exit. I have been coming to Metro diner since they opened I have no complaints about this restaurant at all. So if you have a healthy appetite and you want a good meal I strongly suggest check out Metro diner. And do me a favor after you leave Metro diner leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

The vast menu has me wondering about more thing I want to try. Too bad I could only eat one item, as the portions here are huge! The Greek Salad was very tasty, I really enjoyed the dressing. All the desserts, and pastries are made in house, and are droolicious... Nick is an exceptional person when it comes to attentiveness to the customer, I pray more servers can take some tips from this gentleman. I will definitely come back!

The atmosphere was very pleasant. I was greeted and seated quickly. The waitresses were all very attentive, courteous, pleasant. It's a large diner in comparison to a typical diner. It's currently 81° outside and inside it's cool, not cold...perfect! I ordered the silver dollar pancakes with 2 sausage links, and a side of corned beef hash. Everything came quickly, hot, and to order. I wasn't a fan of the sausage. For me, it was a little porky (I never thought I would ever use that word) and lacking seasoning. I don't think they were "traditional" pork sausage links. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty. Next time, I'll asked for them to be cooked a little more. The hash was perfect. I had enough to split in half and take home. I highly recommend and if in the area, return.

Stopped by here for Valentine’s day lunch with my girlfriend. This place is a DMV institution for a reason. I got the Corned Beef Reuben and she got the patty melt. We both very much enjoyed the food. The service was pretty good too with us getting drinks and refills pretty quickly when we asked. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place, but if you don’t care about my opinion, apparently it appeared on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives wit Guy Fieri, and if he showed this place off, then you know it will take you to Flavortown.
