Hav-A-Bite

The food is down home good!! Most of it is hand breaded and hand Patty'd the specials are plentiful and the employees are like family!! If you stop in more than twice you're treated like a regular!! Come to Metamora to walk around the shops and stay and eat at Have-A- Bite

A wonderful diner. The people are friendly, the food is good and it's a great price. Been going there for almost 40 years.

Well, to be honest, for my needs, this place gets a 1 star, but I felt that would be unfair. I knew what I was getting myself into and I was apparently the only person at the table who felt let down by the food selections. Plus this is a small town diner where everyone appears to know everyone else, and the requisite atmosphere is part of its charm. The fact that it was a smoke-wherever-you-like-while-you-eat type establishment was not one of its finer points for me. It's your standard low key diner complete with local teenagers who have their own idea of how food service should run. (I'm not slamming them, just making an observation. They were perfectly adequate for the establishment, even if they did yell at each other from across the room while throwing our straws at us.)One part of our group went there for breakfast and raved about it, so the rest of us made our way over there for lunch. I can't speak to the breakfast food, but the selection did look a bit more appetizing for me personally.There is one color of food: brown. And for the most part, one preparation: fried. If you like that, this is a great place because they do it justice and in rather large quantity for the price. If you've heard of Michael Pollan, like your body, or don't want diabetes, stay away. ;) Ha, so that's a bit harsh I know, but I'm just calling it as I see it. For what it's worth, my salad and baked potato weren't bad, perhaps in line with something you'd get from a fast food restaurant. If you like down home, country style cooking in a family style environment, enjoy big portions, meat, starch, fried food and copious amounts of sugar, salt and soda, this is definitely your place. If you are looking for health conscious, light, or vegetarian, you might want to go grocery shopping at IGA instead.

I like this place. I like it a lot. But I should qualify that. Because I'm watching my diet for heath reasons, I don't eat here very often. It's a place I "save up" for....because, to me, it's that good.Don't get me wrong. You won't get a gourmet meal here. You WILL get a healthy dose of down home cookin' deep fried and battered. And we all need that once in a while!The breaded tenderloin is one of the VERY best I've ever had. Hand breaded, this thing is huge. I'm a big eater, but I couldn't finish mine, It would be a great sandwich to share with some one, or to take half of it home for a later meal.Their burgers are awesome. And, I love the small town atmosphere. Service has always been very good for us, in a pleasant, down home way.If you're looking for a small, out of the way diner, you won't go wrong here. If you're looking for a refined dining experience....drive on. ;)

We had a very good breakfast. Reasonably priced Very clean. Good food. Great service. You should try the biscuits and gravy.

Loved the food. Best BLT Ive had. Lots of flat bacon, good bread, homegrown 'real' tomatoes. We also had a tenderloin. Huge and crispy. B

Never can get what I want, not sure why they even have a menu. Went yesterday and all 3 burgers were raw and not plain like ordered. Will Not be going back, oh yea and my son has been up all night in and out of bathroom cuz he took few bites before realizing how raw it was. The burgers were still mooing... WTH

They are very friendly there and they have the best biscuits and gravy I have ever ate

This restaurant is under new management as of 2019, so previous reviews may not be relevant. I had the chicken dinner special. Excellent, piping hot, tasty and tender chicken served with homemade mashed potatoes and gravy made in the kitchen from scratch. Green beans were good too. All for a great price.... $7.95. I live 45 minutes away, but I could see driving to Metamora to eat here. I saw some pies that I hope to try soon.

We love their breakfast. Good food, good price, and good service. Friendly people. We will eat here again. A lot of their food is local like the meat and chicken.December 2017 they have closed. To bad.
