Default Metro Diner on 466

Wonder when the Metro Diner (going in were Perkins was on 466) will open. I see they are advertising for help already.

Metro Diner is a really good chain of diners and the ones I've been in are well worth a visit.

The Metro Diner
A diner? A real diner? Not like Daryl's, I hope (ugh).
Where they bake glorious cakes and make other delicious desserts?
Like a Jersey diner?
If so, I'm salivating already!

I hope what I'm reading tastes as good as it all sounds.

Metro Diner is a bit further than Bob's. More upscale, eclectic, but only so much you can do with a breakfast and lunch menu. Diners, Dive-ins, and Dives hasn't done a Bob Evans so far.

I like Bob Evans. It is decent mid-west food. Ohio food. Mashed potatoes and gravy and dressing (sometimes called stuffing) Wonderful very fresh salad and great house sweet poppy seed dressing. Very good pies. And very nice servers, many older and just excellent.

I hope the new company that bought it won't mess it up.

How would this be classified as a Greek diner. Looks more Diner food than Greek. Curious have you eaten at one so you can tell us that the food is slop and not worth the gas driving.

Not dressing but Stove Top stuffing with packaged gravy mix! No wonder they closed!

If the food is as good as it looks on the website, you won't be able to, as we say in Arkansas, "shake a stick" in there for awhile; it'll probably be crowded. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Bob Evans company didn't close. They were purchased by another group. Bob Evans dressing/stuffing is yummy.
