Metro 29 Diner

[Anonymous]

Hadn’t been to this place in a while. The food was fine except for the prefab iced tea (from a syrup or fountain). Definitely had sticker shock:

2 pieces of French toast
1 egg
Home Fries
Iced tea

$34 (with tax and tip)


Totally not worth it

$34 seems cheap IMO. You realize it is 2025? Not 2005.

I've found it to be expensive for what it is. Their salads are like $20+.

[Anonymous]

That's crazy.

[Anonymous]

Simply looking at the menu it shouldn't have cost nearly that much. But I had a similar experience a few years ago where I ordered an egg white and cheese bagel and it was crazy pricy, far more than what I expected.

$? excluding tax and tip?

The French toast is huge though, its not like 2 pieces of wonder bread. I would say, overall, the serving sizes are huge there. And without tip it was probably closer to $25? I feel like for that big of a meal it is pretty normal.

That place was expensive 20+ years ago compared to other places.

That’s like justifying a $50 burger because the bun was really big. It’s bread…

Similar experience years ago and never went back.

Even in 2025, that's ridiculous pricing.

Just go down the street to Bob and Edith’s. Good is just as good and half the price.

But also probably twice the grease.

It’s more expensive than it should be, but at the same time I love it there. The cakes and pies are so good.

Yes, pretty expensive for diner food. It’s still a diner.
