Metro Diner
 

We went to Metro Diner last night for the friends & family night. The food was free then you donate to the charity. Tonight the charity was Helping Hands. I had the meatloaf & hubby had the special, Cajun Chicken Pasta. Everything was yummy.
We had dinner & drinks. It's the only Metro Diner with a bar. Nice menu, good prices & large portions!! It's a great place.
Happy Hour is 2-5. House wine $4.49, happy hour $2.99. Well drinks $3.49, happy hour, $2.49.

Went to Metro Diner last week, in Sarasota. Villagers are in for a treat. Good portions, great service and a very nice menu. Told the manager that we were very pleased with everything and he gave us a five dollar discount card for our next visit.

Bonny, you're the Restaurant Maven in my book. I like reading your reviews.

Looking forward to trying it.

We will give Metro a try in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the report.

Whats the big deal about another corporate restaurant, been to one been to all.

:icon_wink: Kind of like writing a negative post .... read one - read them all!:ohdear:

I like chains better than mom and pops in many cases.

There is often a lot of money behind the research into their menu items and the consistent way they are prepared. There is often a lot of money behind how they train their servers and money behind the décor. ( It is often quite pleasant) There is money protecting you from accidental allergy events. (Misplaced shellfish and nuts can do many of us in) I love, LOVE, Carrabas, Bob Evans, TooJays, Ruth Cris, PF Changs, and several others, and I am looking forward to this restaurant.

I say this because I am a decent cook and I have dined in some excellent and expensive restaurants in my lifetime just like most of us have.

I like this reasoning.

Oh Winthorp meet you at The Metro At Noon. Do bring the Grey Poupon!

I agree with Gracie. I like the chains, except for the time I went to a Waffle House and they were out of waffles. I have heard Metro is very good. Looking forward to trying it.

I like chains. They have a corporation to answer to so I find food & service more consistent. Also you know what to expect when you order food.

Amen to that Gracie girl

I am not a big partaker of liquor/happy hours, but I hypothesize the the main problem with "big corporation" restaurants is their bars don't have a "top shelf."

Good, bad, or otherwise, they are not all the same.
