METRO DINER OPENS NEW LOCATION IN ST. JOHNS, FLORIDA

Beloved comfort food restaurant brand brings bold, modern takes on American classics to growing Southern community

ST. JOHNS, Fla., July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Metro Diner, known for serving bold twists on classic American comfort food, has officially opened its newest location in Johns Creek Center at 2851 County Road 210 W. The 3,623-square-foot diner seats 119 guests between its dining room and outdoor patio. The new restaurant is owned and operated by long-time Metro Diner partner Sage Cree.

"I'm excited to open our doors to the St. Johns community where we send guests home with full bellies and happy hearts," said Cree who brings 15 years of experience with Metro Diner to the new location. "This area is booming but still has that small town feel— the perfect place for a diner that serves the nostalgic flavors you love with a fresh spin that keeps you coming back."

Famous for hearty portions and all-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Metro Diner's menu features everything from savory omelets and classic breakfast platters to BBQ ribs and specialty burgers made with 100% Angus beef.

Metro Diner has earned national recognition, including a spotlight on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri, who raved about the Iron City Meatloaf.

The star of the menu remains their famous Fried Chicken & Waffles, featuring half of a fried chicken atop a Belgian waffle, with powdered sugar and strawberry butter, served with a signature sweet-and-spicy sauce. "It's the best fried chicken around," Cree added.

Cree is a member of the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce. He supports K9s For Warriors, a nonprofit that pairs service dogs with veterans. His location also participates in Metro Diner's ongoing offer of 10% off for uniformed first responders and active or retired military members.
