Metro Diner
Metro Diner also has a popular chicken-and-waffles meal. “My daughter & I both ordered chicken & waffles and I can honestly say I have dined sufficiently!! The 4 pieces of chicken were seasoned and fried to perfection. It tasted like my grandmother’s chicken. The Belgian waffle was cut into 4’s and topped with powdered sugar and an amazing strawberry butter that tasted like ice cream!!! Then there was the spicy syrup served on the side…OMG!!! This meal was absolutely PERFECT!! Fancier restaurants have tried and failed, but Metro Diner gets a 10 out of 10 for this awesome meal!!” a Yelper wrote. “They have epic chicken & waffles that are served with a hot honey and a special strawberry compound butter,” another added.
