### Metro Diner Expands with New Location in St. Johns, Florida
Metro Diner, a well-known name in American comfort food, opens its latest location in St. Johns, Florida, in the bustling Johns Creek Center. Spanning 3,623 square feet, the diner boasts a capacity for 119 guests across its indoor dining area and outdoor patio. This new establishment is managed by Sage Cree, a partner with Metro Diner who brings 15 years of industry experience. Cree expresses excitement about becoming a part of the St. Johns community, emphasizing the area’s vibrant growth while preserving a welcoming, small-town charm that aligns well with the diner’s nostalgic yet modern culinary offerings.
The menu at Metro Diner is a celebration of classic American dishes reimagined for contemporary palates. All-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner options include hearty favorites like savory omelets, BBQ ribs, and specialty burgers made from 100% Angus beef. The diner’s reputation soared after its feature on the popular television show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," where host Guy Fieri lauded its Iron City Meatloaf. A standout dish, the Fried Chicken & Waffles, combines half a fried chicken with a Belgian waffle, garnished with powdered sugar, strawberry butter, and a unique sweet-and-spicy sauce, making it a must-try for diners.
In addition to its diverse menu, Metro Diner actively supports local initiatives, such as K9s For Warriors, and offers a 10% discount to uniformed first responders and military personnel. Currently, the St. Johns location operates from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, with plans to extend its hours to include dinner service in the near future. This expansion signifies not only the diner’s growth but also its commitment to serving communities while providing quality food and fostering local relationships.
### Community Engagement and Future Plans
Metro Diner's new location underscores its dedication to community engagement, as it aims to establish itself as a local favorite while supporting initiatives that benefit the area. The diner’s focus on generous portions and warm service aligns with its broader mission of creating a welcoming dining environment.
Looking ahead, the diner plans to enhance its service offerings by extending operating hours, catering to the needs of a community that values both quality dining experiences and the comfort of traditional cuisine. As Metro Diner continues to grow, it remains committed to maintaining its signature style of food and community involvement.
