Metro Diner - Suffolk

Mass confusion for take out. There is only one person in the building who does takeout so when that person decides to clean tables and clean in the kitchen, there's no one to give out pick up orders. You are forced to stand there while your food gets cold. Waiting for someone to tell you you can take it. It's interesting how during the lunch rush the takeout person is cleaning in the kitchen???

As you walk into this busy diner, you 're struck by the scent of warm pancakes. It 's lovely. The place is well staffed, so you 're greeted quickly, and the service continues to be efficient and friendly. The only negative is how loud it is. This is a busy restaurant, and the noise from the kitchen and the patrons, combined with the music, makes conversation tricky, to the extent that I saw servers having trouble hearing customers. I 'm not a quiet person, and I eventually just pointed to the menu. It wouldn 't hurt to reduce the volume of the music, especially as the place fills up. Over half the plates going past our table had fried chicken in some form. It looked delicious. The next table had a child 's order of tenders and fries, and the tenders were large and smelled delicious. The fries were beautiful as well, and looked crisp. Our food came out quickly, and it was as close to the photos from the website as you could ask. It amazes me that such a small, busy kitchen could turn out such consistent results. I got the huevos rancheros which are basically breakfast nachos. Delicious breakfast nachos. My eggs were cooked exactly to my preference, over medium. The plate was well balanced, with just the right amount of everything. I wish the chips were a bit smaller, and they were hard to cut into bite size pieces, and the bottom got soggy from the toppings. My husband had a Denver omelette, which was perfect, with lovely, crispy hash browns on the side. We went at 12:30 on a Thursday, and by the time we left, the restaurant was full. Clearly people recognize a good restaurant with an excellent staff.
