Metro 29 Diner Restaurant

Always a solid spot to bring family or a visiting friend for a nice relaxing meal. The quick and friendly service has always been a highlight for us

I came here off the recommendation of a few coworkers and so far they're 0/2 for the food recommendations. First with the good, the service was fast and friendly. Love that. The diner looked pretty clean even though we got there just after a lunch rush I'm sure. The food was cooked perfectly; everything was the right color, temperature and consistency but unfortunately everything on mine and my bfs plate completely lacked in flavor. I'm talking simple salt and pepper- there was none. If you have dietary restrictions and like to season your food once you receive it at your table maybe you'll appreciate the lack of seasoning but it wasn't for me. I love diner food. Not a lot of fancy extras, just good tasty food- sorry to say this missed the mark for me.

Breakfast options are pretty standard and what you expect from a dinner. There was plenty of parking. Our server was attentive and split the bill for our party's convenience.I got a coffee which was decent but a little on the pricier side that I would expect from a diner and an egg sandwich. Cheese was extra. Bagel was also extra my bad for misreading:Sandwiches on Bagel, Pita or English Muffin 1.50¢ extra That sandwiches come on something else, and bagels are part of the extra list. Oh well! It was a fine sandwich. For a diner, it hit what I needed - quick and reasonably priced. There wasn't anything outstanding about it, but it had some decent breakfast fares.

This is definitely a long time favorite. I grew up near the area so we used to go there often growing up. It's a nostalgic place. They still have the big chocolate chip cookies we'd get as kids and they still look and taste the same as I remember. We usually get the french toast for breakfast since it's one of the best items on the menu. It's still the best french toast I've ever had from any place. They make the bread in-house so they cut them as huge slices. It melts in your mouth. So good. We also got the cheese danish which was gigantic but very tasty. It was sweet but not too sweet. It's usually really packed and busy on weekends but we went during a time when it's not so busy so we were seated quickly at a booth near the windows which was nice to see outdoors. The server came often to refill our coffees which we appreciated. You pay the check up at the front when you're done. Also at the front there's a fridge/case with cakes and desserts. The diner is pretty big with tables in the middle and booths on the ends. There's parking in the back and a bit on the side street.

The diner looks like a classic American diner outside and in. Art deco decor rules the interior.The staff is very attentive, constantly refilling coffee cups, water glasses, and checking on us.The portions are huge. The prices are a bit high, but again, the portions are huge.My daughter asked for strawberries on her waffle. We expected a strawberry compote, but were pleasantly surprised with a massive amount of fresh berries and a huge pile of whipped cream.

On a recent trip to DC for a Commanders game, as usual, I researched a Triple D spot for breakfast. Clearly this place is not what it once was. The food was nothing to rave about and the atmosphere was not what we expected when you think old school diner. The food came out so fast it's almost as if they have their omelets pre made and in a warmer. It wasn't horrible, but definitely not worth going out of your way to try.

They have made quite a few improvements since the last time I was here. You can park with ease. The service was good and the food was good as well. The restaurant is busy and they have a lot of items to go at the counter. The diner gives you that old fashioned experience that unfortunately has long gone.

First: Top notch service. And not just for a diner, but by any standards. My wife and I visited when she was at the tail end of a pregnancy, and their manager(?) saw us walking towards the door and was immediately there to hold it open. Our waitress was very attentive without getting in the way, was personable and very polite. And our small interactions with other staff were great, too. They couldn't have have done a better job!We went with breakfast foods, but the menu seemed to have some great lunch and dinner options, too. I ordered a bit off menu... I asked for the challah French toast, but with strawberries and whipped cream, which they only list as a topping option for their Belgian waffle. They accommodated that request and didn't apply any unusual up charge. It was very good. Their French toast is on very thick cut challah, which makes for a very fluffy, and very filling, meal. The side of bacon I ordered came as a generous portion... not the two measly strips you get at some restaurants. There was enough that, when it arrived, my wife and I decided to split it and we both had as much as we wanted.The interior vibe is mostly standard diner with a touch of Pennsylvania "family restaurant." It's clean, comfortable, and well maintained. They also deserve some bonus points for good gardening work on the flower beds outside... It's not a make or break thing for a diner, but it makes for a more pleasant entrance and exit and shows that they mind the details.Whenever I drive by, they seem to be doing a good business, and based on my experience, that's no surprise. I'm sure I'll be back soon.

Greek food with all the classic diner plates. Local favorite with large portions. Love their spinach pie with salad while friends love their tuna sandwiches, fries and waffles.

The food was okay, but the waiter was subpar at best. He was not friendly and only acknowledged me when he happened to remember I was his table and he was walking by. I asked to see a dessert menu and he said ok, but then forgot about me and when he finally came back, he asked if I was done. I told him I never saw the dessert menu and he told me I had to go get up and look because some of it was not on the menu anyway. I just asked for my check at that point. If you want "decent" food, then go on in. Just don't expect great service.
