There’s a restaurant that’s not too far from us that we kept passing and always forgot the name of. One night, Nikki took a picture of it so that we’d remember it. Nikki Googled it and learned that they had a gluten-free menu. Score!
A few weeks later, our dad invited us to dinner and asked if I needed “a new place for my vlog” (yes, he said vlog and not blog). We told him about Metro Diner and decided to try it out.
My dad & I had regular menus & Nikki had a gluten-free menu. Our waiter was really nice & very helpful in answering Nikki’s questions.

Nikki chose the American Burger (minus cheese, tomato, & mayo) and salad. Nikki came prepared with her own salad dressing with her.
I was scanning the menu and saw pulled pork. My decision was made. While waiting on the waiter, I looked more closely at the description. The Pulled Pork Mac Stack is a half-pound of BBQ over Mac and Cheese and cornbread waffle with maple butter. Yes, you read that right.
This made THREE meals. THREE.
My dad ordered chicken tenders and fries, which he enjoyed.
We all really enjoyed our food and the service was really great.
Night Two at Metro Diner
We liked it so much that we went again the next night. Our dad told his mom about it and she wanted to try it.
Nikki decided to try the Metro Club, minus the cheese, mayo, and tomatoes. Not only did she bring her own dressing, but she also brought her own mayo. She always tries to be prepared!
Our dad went with the Monte Cristo since he hadn’t it in a long time. He liked them, but it wasn’t his favorite.
I decided to go with fish and chips. I liked it.
Nana ordered the braised beef tips, fried zucchini, salad, and a baguette. She really liked her food.
Third Visit to Metro Diner
Nikki & I were telling our mom about Metro Dinner and she really wanted to try it, so we ordered takeout. If you’re keeping track, that’s three times in one week that Nikki & I had food from Metro Diner.
Nikki liked the Metro Club so much that she got it again.
Our mom ordered the Chicken Pot Pie. She’s a big fan of this dish and really liked Metro Diner’s version.
I ordered the Chicken Parmesan with garlic bread. There were three chicken breasts in this order.
Fourth Visit
A couple weeks later, we decided to do another takeout order.
Take a guess on what Nikki ordered. lol
I wasn’t super hungry, so I decided to try Three Cheese Grilled Cheese. Keeping with the cheese theme, I also had Mac & Cheese.
My mom never had chicken and waffles before and decided to try that. She liked it. This also came with strawberry butter.
So, as you can tell, we really like Metro Diner. There have some really good options. If you’re interested in trying Metro Diner, they are in 14 states.
If you liked this, you might like Landmark, IHOP, The Burger Company, and Red Robin.

The food here looks SO good, and it’s great to see that they cater for so many different people. I think more places should do this 🙂

I agree, Louise! 🙂 My sister is always glad to add new restaurants into the mix.
these are some awesome options! while i prefer smaller plates and portions, it is nice to be able to make one meal into 3! that chicken and waffles with strawberry butter looks incredible!
I was really surprised by the meal portions. The Metro Club that my sister gets usually makes two meals. My mom said the fried chicken reminded her of the way her mom made it. 🙂
This is an excellent guide to the restaurant. Knowing exactly what you can order before going to the restaurant saves a lot of time and hassle for those who can only eat certain things.
Thank you, Stacie! It is very helpful to have as much info as possible going in to a new restaurant.
We don’t have any dietary restrictions, but I do find it a challenge to eat out since I stopped eating meat.
I can imagine that that is really challenging, Heather!
Great selection for those with food intolerance or sensitivity. That club sandwich looks amazing!
My sister really like the club sandwich. She gets it nearly every time we go there. 😀
Being gluten free doesn’t mean you have to have bland food! These meals look delicious!
Exactly! Many people think gluten-free means it tastes like cardboard, but there are some really yummy options out there. 🙂
It’s so great that you not only highlight places to eat but also delicious food those with food allergies, can enjoy! I bet you’ve helped a lot of people!
Thank you, Sarah! Finding restaurants can be hard, so we like sharing about the places we find. 🙂
Very nice. I like that you highlighted this place. The food looks so delicious.
Thank you, Sue-Tanya! We really enjoyed their food.
I like checking out restaurant menus before I actually go eat somewhere. Pictures are even better though!
It’s really helpful to have a menu with good info online. Sometimes pictures tell it better than words do. 🙂
Oooo so many options! Love it when restaurants have options for all!!
