He added: "I know our community will love having a local diner where they can relax and enjoy each others' company while sharing good food at reasonable prices. Metro Diner is where they'll find all that and more."

Metro Diner has gained national attention after being featured on Guy Fieri's Food Network show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. The brand continues to serve dishes that resonate with fans of traditional American cuisine.
