Metro Diner★

Metro offers a raucous experience somewhere between the classic big-city lunch counter and a homey family roadhouse. An outsize menu of hearty favorites includes straightforward breakfast combos and more daring blue plates such as shrimp and grits, a fried green tomato Benedict, and pound cake French toast. Really solid go-tos are the meatloaf plate with mashed red-skin potatoes, fried chicken, and a chicken potpie. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily.
