I grabbed 2 fried chicken dinners on my way home from West Ashley — one with mashed & brown gravy and green beans (dinner #1), and the other with mashed & brown gravy and macaroni & cheese (dinner #2). They both came with a big “biscuit” and a little ramekin of a sweet and quite hot sauce.
Dinner #1: The chicken is overcooked to the point of a hard, crunchy crust over dried out meat. The green beans are quite good, though. There’s a slight glaze on them and they either are fresh or pass for fresh. They’re tender-crisp. These mashed potatoes and gravy, though… salt city. So salty, they’re hard to eat, and since they’re from mashed red potatoes, there are a number of black rot spots in them. The biscuit? Nope. It’s very big and pretty-looking, but it’s hard as a rock.
Dinner #2: Same thing on the chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, and biscuit. The macaroni & cheese would probably be fine for most people who don’t cook, but for those who do and/or know what Charleston, southern cooking is, it’s mush with little flavor, reminiscent of generic boxed macaroni with prepared cheese sauce. Kids would love it.
We’re not sure what this sauce is for (green beans?), but we couldn’t eat it or imagine eating it.
Chicken: 3 stars
Mashed & gravy: 2 stars
Green beans: 4½ stars
Biscuit: 0 stars
Overall, Metro Diner is a pretty good place, but this meal was so disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend it.
Take a look at the pictures and biscuit video I shared and judge for yourself.

My wife and I are visiting our daughter in South Carolina, and she insisted on taking us to Metro Diner for brunch. The place was packed when we walked in, which we took as a very reassuring sign that we were about to make excellent life choices.
We ordered the Southwest breakfast bowl, an avocado breakfast sandwich, and Parmesan chicken because it was brunch and brunch has no rules. Everything was delicious and confirmed that our daughter was absolutely right (we told her she could frame this moment).
Our waitress, Stacy, was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and somehow always appeared right before our drinks hit empty. We loved the atmosphere, laughed a lot, ate way too much, and had a great time. Highly recommend coming hungry and with someone who insists you go here.

We chose to go to Metro while we were visiting the area because of good experiences in the past at other locations.
Yes, we put in our name and waited in the car to be called for a table.
Once we were seated the waitress was very attentive even with it being so busy.
The food came fairly quickly considering.
I had the Bissell Breakfast which came with eggs, bacon, hash browns and pancakes. It is a filling meal and was excellent. The others also enjoyed their food as well.

I’ve heard positive things, and finally stopped by for a bite. Had a good grilled cheese with three kinds of cheese, and fries. Friendly service.

Came here for the first time on Thansgiving morning. I ordered online. Despite how busy they were, my food was ready when I got there. My food was SO GOOD! Zero complaints. Will be back again!

This was my first visit to Metro Diner, and I’m already planning my return. The Meat Lovers Omelette went way beyond my expectations. It was packed with so much meat I couldn’t finish it. The hash browns were also a highlight, cooked to perfection with that ideal crunchy outside!

Stopped by Metro Diner in Charleston recently and I’d give it a solid four stars. It ended up being a really good breakfast spot and definitely better than I expected going in.
I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of hash browns. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the waffle was soft with just the right amount of sweetness. The portion size was big too — definitely filled me up. Hash browns were cooked well and came out hot, which I always appreciate.
Service was friendly and pretty attentive. Our server checked in regularly without hovering, and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time even though the place was busy. The atmosphere felt relaxed and comfortable, like a good weekend breakfast spot.
Only reason I’m not giving five stars is the wait and noise level. It got crowded fast and was a little loud, and we had to wait a bit for a table. Not a huge deal, just something to keep in mind if you’re in a hurry.
Overall though, really enjoyable experience. Good food, big portions, and a place I’d definitely come back to when I’m craving a solid breakfast or brunch.

We really like breakfast here. Food is good, service is nice, many good seats. A little busy and crowded sometimes, but waits aren’t too long.

Service was a bit slow to start, HOWEVER, they were busy at 10am when we got here. Service was great once we made contact. Clean dining area. Not once did we have an empty glass at the table. Wife had the turkey plate with no complaints. I had the meat loaf, mashed potato, and green beans. Absolutely phenomenal!! I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking breakfast, lunch, or dinner at any time of day!
