New Jersey’s Newest Diner Offers Massive Portions And A Southern Flair

New Jersey is the diner capital of the world, with more diners than there are towns, and we’re always open to new additions. Recently, a chain of diners from down south expanded to the Garden State. So far, there’s just one…but it has rave reviews. See why you’ll love it.

Metro Diner is a Florida-based chain that got its start in 1938. Today, you can find 70 restaurants in 14 different states. As of this spring, one of those locations is New Jersey.
