    Breakfast Pie and Biscuits and Gravy for our first visit. Yum! Coffee of the day. Can't wait to try more. Carrisa was great. They are already extending their hours to be open later.

    Breakfast is always good. So many choices. We came for lunch and still ate breakfast. The fried chicken and meatloaf looked and smelled so good. We promise to try them next.

    I live Atlantic Beach, and there is a Metro close by. So I was in G'ville I was able to have my favorite meatloaf, and great service also.

    Everything is great. I judge a diner on its fries and these were some good fries.

    This town was sorely in need of a new breakfast place, and Metro Diner is decadently good.
