Metro Diner

Great place for easy comfort food. Sometimes they are a little slow, however, the service is very good. Attitudes are very upbeat for the type of restaurant (24hrs). Not fancy, yet good to go and for a revisit ? Yep!

A bishop mainstay!!!! My biggest issue is the jukebox. It should cycle through music even if someone doesn't pay. How you gonna have your employees sit in silence for hours waiting for someone to pay for a song. The slaves sang while they worked to past the time faster and you take all music away. If you can't put your employees first, I can't support you!!!

Decided to take my nieces to breakfast here to celebrate school being over (18months to 6yo). We piled into a booth and proceeded to order a good portion of the menu--omelet, french toast, regular toast, biscuits, pancakes, T-bone, scrambled eggs, etc. Plenty of traditional diner fare.The cookery choices on the steak were "medium well" and "well done", I chose the former but got the latter. Eggs were ok, biscuits a bit burnt, but otherwise everything else was pretty unremarkable. The kids enjoyed all of their meals. Service was friendly but choppy (my Spanish proficiency was as good as our waiter's English) and the high chair we asked for was not clean.Overall, though, this place was okay. Hit most of the points I'd expect for a local diner--down to the eclectic music playing--and I'll likely come here again.

This is my husband's go to breakfast place. My husband had a burger with cheese and fresh grilled mushrooms. SummaryLocal always open diner spit- great food, awesome service-we will be there most days!!

If you aren't looking for anything fancy with affordable prices, then you have stepped into the right place. I will say that when we walked in we were greeted and told to sit anywhere we liked, but once we sat down getting someone to come take our order seemed to be a little challenging. We started off with some coffee (not that the menu states you are limited to two refills) and went ahead and placed our orders. It wasn't long before our food came out and I will say I personally was like meh I could have done this at home. I ordered a 3 egg cheese omelette and looking at the omelette I think that I may have been shorted an egg or two. I get this order at another spot and their omelettes are fluffy, so I was kinda expecting that. The hash brows were pale and looked like they could use a longer cook and my biscuit was ear on one side (I did hear another lady telling the server after I got my food to make sure the cooked both sides of her biscuit and I was like "ahh, that's what you are suppose to ask for"). With that said, the coffee was good, the pancake I enjoyed and wish I had just ordered a short stack of them. In a pinch, this place serves its purpose.

Something about an anytime open restaurant. Kinda like a home. This is a drive through Dallas, man miles of roads.

Staff were arguing and fighting. Cook did not use gloves and touched every part of every person's plate food drawers cooking utensils just an overall dirty and filthy establishment. It's too bad because they've been around for so long.

1 star is even a stretch here. But, don't have a choice. So, was very excited to try here with the amount of reviews for the star rating, which seemed very promising.We went in and the lady at front was nice and told us to sit at 1 of the 2 tables available. 2 tables were left unbussed. So, we sit at 1 of the clean unoccupied tables in the back. The other option was a table was by front door and didn't want to sit there with people walking in and out. The table we had was so wobbly that we would be wearing our coffee before drinking it. Like the table is basically broken. (As I sat there watching this other waitress sitting down, shooting the s**t with one of her other tables and when I say doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, especially not bussing any tables.)Our waitress finally came over and we asked her if they can bus the other table so we can sit at a unbroken table. (This is table was waaaayyyy past just putting something underneath the leg to keep it stable). Our waitress told us to hold on and went and asked the other waitress that was doing still absolutely nothing (her section) if she could bus the table so we could sit there, I literally watched her shake her head no. Then our waitress came back over and said " That the other waitress said "No" and it's her section so she can't do anything about it.That definitely was my cue to leave. Our waitress was apologetic and sweet. I honestly felt bad she had to work in such toxicity as that. So, save yourself a trip. Wouldn't suggest here if it was the last place on this planet. I know this place has been here for around 50 years and use to have stellar reviews. Sad that it's gone this direction for what seemed to be a good Dallas staple. Now that I went through and read the recent previous reviews. Even long time customers that gave them 5 stars had come back and given them 1 star reviews now.

The diner has excellent staff, a fantastic atmosphere, and excellent food. I encourage anyone who is in the Dallas area to go there. This is a place for family, and they also have music while you eat.

I love the one on Gaston but this one on Davis is horrible. The male cook dropped a spatula on the floor and wiped it on his jeans then went back to flipping food. Using the same utensil on all food on the grill. We saw this because there was a change of shifts and the white woman in her early 40's waited over 15 minutes for her to even initially come to our table after the original server said she was turning us over. This woman sat at the register looking at the window and chatting for 15 minutes before coming by to greet us, then it took an hour to get our food. And if that wasn't bad enough, I had asked to have my sandwich cut in half. It didnt come that way. So my husband had to flag her down and we asked for a steak knife to cut it. She grabbed my burger and took it. A few minutes later she dropped it off with it SMASHED with a hand print in the sandwich!!! I didnt want to eat it afraid of what she had done. I didnt want to say amything. But my husband flagged her down and asked her to take it. She asked what was wrong with it! I said its smashed with a handprint (the bun was disintigrating on the part where the palm print was). To which she replied, "Well he (the cook) refused to cut it so I did. I washed my hands! Its fine!" I said "I dont want it." To which she said "Well we wont tell anyone about this and I wont charge you for it". Then this woman had the audacity to tell my husband after he was paying and my son and I went to the car. Mind you we had been there waiting on food for over an hour and I had no food because of her.. She rudely tells my husband, looking at me out the window "Good Luck With That!" This was the worse service, most disgusting food and unsanitary restaurant I have ever been in. I was in the business for 30 years as leadership and worked my way up. And never before have I experienced the HORROR that is Metro Diner on W Davis.
