Metro Diner’s story began in 1938 when the building that would become the first location opened in Jacksonville, Florida. Officially branded in 1992, Metro Diner quickly became the go-to local restaurant for comforting classics and reimagined favorites.
With the help of Master Chef Mark Davoli and his family, Metro Diner continued to grow and even earned a spot on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Fieri raved about many Metro signature items including our Fried Chicken & Waffles and Iron City Meatloaf. Both dishes remain the backbone to Metro Diner’s bold and innovative menu offerings.
Today, Metro Diner has over 50 locations in 12 states.
