The original Metro Diner has been a restaurant since 1938 in the San Marco area. The current owners opened Metro Diner in 1992 and locals know that Metro Diner is a great place for diner food at its best.
Check out the Metro Diner website for daily specials - tomorrow's are: MonteCristo Sandwich, Country Fried Steak Egg Benedict and Low Country Frittata. Sound tempting? It will taste as good as it sounds.
Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives has taped a show at Metro Diner and gave it his nod of approval. Metro Diner fans can find their signature Yo Halla on the Square recipe on Food 
Network, compliments of owner Mark Davoli.
The original location is about a mile from the San Marco Square, hence the Yo Halla on the Square name. Upscale diner food is what Metro Diner is all about. The last time I was there, I tried the Chicken Salad-Stuffed Tomato. It was delicous and the portion was generous.
Metro Diner has opened in two other locations around Jacksonville in the last few years, one in Mandarin by Fresh Market, and another out at Jacksonville Beach. The food is the same, but check out the original location first at -
