I have eaten at the Metro Diner 2 times in the past week. The first time was take out and the second time was dining on the back patio with my husband, our great dane, my dad and his border collie. Bothe experiences were awesome. The food is delicious and the staff and management are very friendly. The managers and most of the servers are well educated in what needs to be done for someone with celiac disease. The managers continue to educate their staff. Brittany, one of the managers, is amazing!

So amazing to find this gluten free friendly place in Alabama. Wait staff is familiar with allergies 🤧 and they have a great selection of gf foods. Make sure to ask your server for a gf menu (posted a picture on photos). Excellent place to eat, food tastes great!

My son is newly diagnosed celiac. This was the first place that we have been to that had a gluten free menu with several options. Management was very helpful and made his food himself to reduce risk of contamination.

I ordered the avocado breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread with a house salad (no croutons) and a sweet tea. I loved all of it, very good plus my server seemed knowledgeable about allergies. Overall very happy!

Fantastic! Staff knowledgeable about GF options - do ask for the separate GF menu. Food was amazing. They have GF buns AND GF bread for burgers vs sandwich options. Salads, breakfast, and sides available.

I Felt confident eating here. The server made sure the kitchen knew it was an allergy. They have a separate gluten-free menu. I enjoyed the Brooklyn Greek salad. It was very good. I recommend trying this place.

When I mentioned gluten-free as an allergy to the waitress, she was knowledgeable and flagged my order. It took a little longer to prepare but someone (I thought manager) brought my plate out with the waitress carrying the other orders for our table. He said he completely understood and assured me I was safe. I love that I never got sick and they were so serious about it for me. I’ve only had breakfast here.

Service is great and they take every effort they can but are up front about possible cross contamination.

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.
