Nothing ever changes. A place is criticized before it even opens the doors for business.

I would first try it and then pass judgement.

Everybody has an opinion on what they consider is good food. The restaurant business is tough as some people think they should cook, as their mother did for them.

Gpsma is referring to the fact that most diners in the ny/nj area are run by greeks....there is a great diner in Orlando called Angel's Diner. i hope the new one will be comparable. and there IS a greek salad!

I'm hoping they don't mess it up either and ruin it but, unfortunately when owners change so does the product. I've witnessed it here in the villages with the country clubs.

Their menu has Guy Fuieri's pix on it. Isn't that going in at Honest John's Tavern?

What's odd is in the Baltimore area we had a chain of diners called Double TT Diners. They have 8 locations operated by two Greek brothers and we ate at them many times. The food didn't seem any different than BoB Evans type food, they were a little more plush inside like a fancier restaurant. They were also usually a little more expensive so we ate at Bob Evans more often. The only odd or different thing was they had a liquor license and you would see a setup bar with bottles and glasses, which I thought was strange in a breakfast place.

They were all very nice inside and out, just like the old time diners but built new.

Metro Diner in The Villages was planned back in 2015 and I would guess that it was probably the cause of Perkins leaving and not the effect.

On their website they list all their locations by state. Here's a link to their Florida locations and each store has it's hours and menu for you to see online. Just a quick glance at a Orlando location shows hours as 7am to 8pm and Friday & Saturday as 7am to 9pm.
