METRO DINER
Few places split the difference like METRO DINER. The dining room gives it 4.6 stars across 2,947 reviews; the inspector gave it a D — 60 out of 100 — at its most recent visit on February 3, 2026.
That D comes from 3 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 13 basic violations cited on February 3, 2026. It currently ranks safer than 5% of Seminole County restaurants we grade — close to the bottom of the county. One bright spot — its recent inspections have been trending cleaner.

Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Diners rate this place well. The inspector did not. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 5.0 stars.
The split is 19 positive to 1 negative across 20 rated reviews. A third strand, how long an order takes, appears in 15% of them at 5.0 stars. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (18 reviews).
Set against that, the state's own inspection graded the kitchen a D (60/100), with 3 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 13 basic violations recorded. Reviews describe the meal; the grade describes the conditions it was made in. DBPR last walked in on February 3, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. On health score it sits safer than 5% of the Seminole County restaurants we grade. The citations behind that grade include cross-contamination and dishwashing facilities.
What to do with that is a judgement call — the reviews describe the experience, the grade describes the conditions behind it. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

Wonderful place to eat, great food and service. I’m not happy they forced me to give up my wheelchair and have it removed to another location in the restaurant after I transferred to a seat. I worry about an emergency arising and I can’t get to my chair to get out of the building, but maybe I just worry too much.

We stumbled upon this place, and it’s quickly become our favorite Sunday breakfast spot! The whole family absolutely adores it. Their fried chicken is so savory, and their strawberry butter is absolutely amazing. So amazing, we had to ask for the recipe!
