Guests not only enjoy our bold menu and big portions, they also like seeing their meals made in our interactive, open kitchen concept.

Whew! All that exploring is a great way to work up an appetite, so whether you come by Metro Diner to get your day started, or drop in after checking out the sights, know that breakfast is always on the menu – always. Enjoy mimosas and Bloody Mary’s and breakfast & brunch favorites like our classic Biscuits and Gravy, Pancakes, Waffles, Omelets and Benedicts or even a Breakfast Burger piled high with hashbrowns, egg and Hollandaise. Oh yes.

 

Metro Diner, Best for Family Dining

From Kids Meals to Senior Favorites

Indy is also home to both the Indianapolis Zoo and the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the largest children’s museum in the world! If that’s not enough to put a smile on the little one’s faces, treat them to kid-sized Fried Chicken and Waffles, topped with sweet strawberry butter and powdered sugar from the Metro Diner Kid’s Menu. Deal sealed.

Our Fish Fry Friday special is another family-friendly meal that’s sure to please all ages, featuring beer battered, wild caught, North Atlantic cod served as a platter or sandwich along with a pile of seasoned fries and a soup or salad. Or grab a Family Meal to-go and take Metro with you! If your crew wants breakfast for dinner or dinner at breakfast, no worries! We’ve got something for everyone.
