Diners Drive ins and Dives: Metro Diner in Jacksonville, Florida

Our last foody stop on our recent road trip to Florida

to see Heather and the gang We figured we would critique

this place after watching it on the show.

We watched this segment on TV while at Heather's house

and decided to go check it out on our way to the airport

it was really good. The cook/owner came around and

chit-chatted with us. Real nice guy, good food and priced

well for your good sized portions. Come hungry! Heather

tried the french toast he demoed on the show, John had

a burrito, and I had an veggie omelet with crab cakes on

the side. All were good. When we were talking to the

owner about good bar-b-que stuff he said I'll bring you out

a smoked pastrami on rye sandwich I make and smoke the

pastrami myself. Well it was very good also. John wished

he had gotten the steak fry salad though, he forgot that was

one of the ones they highlighted. I'm sure everything is really

good though and worth stopping over and trying out if your

in the area.

He said his segment has been airing since september and everytime

it does his business increases 100%
