Metro Diner

They have a gluten free menu, but not somewhere I would trust 100%. The server has VERY little knowledge about the menu, and when I asked to speak with the manager, the server just left and then repeated what the manager told her. I didn’t get sick, which is the most important part, but I probably won’t come back if there’s other choices. I asked if they used soybean oil in cooking and the server didn’t know. She said the only thing safe for me to eat would be fruit. Ended up getting a BLT

Decent food, but really expensive for what you get. They charge extra for everything.

Don't go here unless you want to roll the dice on getting sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

You have to be adamate with these people. I ordered from the gluten friendly menu and told then I was gluten intolerant. That should be enough, right? Nope. They still gave me food containing gluten and I was unaware until a guy came up with a missing part of my order that was fried. It was then that I realized my order was not put in correctly and some ingredients for the part that I had eaten already had gluten in it. I recommend this place to eat, just make sure you are very careful of your food before you eat it.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have GF bread, but my son with celiac disease wanted pancakes. They do not have GF pancakes. Our server was awesome and asked the kitchen staff to make him French toast. It was definitely appreciated for her to take care of that for him, as all of my other children ordered pancakes. Someone came out and spoke to us about making it in a separate pan from everything else. It's so nice when restaurants are not only knowledgeable, but accommodating as well.

Went to the Metro diner for breakfast. They can only offer gf toast. Not cooked separately. The waitress didn’t even know where a gf menu was. Stay away if your celiac

I love Metro Diner. They are incredibly accommodating, have a large gluten free menu, and take careful precautions. Their gluten free substitutions are very high quality (the sandwich buns are some of the best gf buns I’ve had, you can’t even tell) and many of their items are already gluten free. I’ve never gotten sick here, or at any Metro location, and the waitress here even went above and beyond to make sure I was safe and comfortable. Delicious food, fun atmosphere, and I feel great!

They have a gluten free menu upon request. Servers were very knowledgeable and were upfront about the fact that there was no fryer dedicated to GF food. They recommended substitutions for fries and tater tots because they couldn’t ensure that fries would be safe

My mother-in-law ‘loves a diner’ and Metro is our spot - about once a month. I’ve only been diagnosed w celiac disease for 3 months so I’m still navigating it all but I was very impressed w/ Metro. They do not have ‘GF’ indicated on the menu but I’ve had multiple waitresses be very aware and helpful when I tell them ‘celiac’. I usually get an omelet and grits and GF toast. FYI - I asked and they buy Udi’s brand (from Publix) - which is actually very good GF bread.
