Metro Diner Opens Its Doors in Anderson, SC

Anderson, South Carolina, is now home to the Metro Diner, a restaurant that has quickly gained a reputation for delivering classic comfort food in a welcoming diner environment. Located at 3401 Clemson Blvd, this new establishment occupies an impressive 4,025 square feet and boasts seating for 114 guests.

He stated, "We’re thrilled to welcome Anderson locals to our table and are proud to be the only Metro Diner within a two-hour drive in any direction." The menu is designed to cater to a wide range of tastes, whether you are in the mood for fluffy waffles and a savory omelet to start your day, a juicy burger for a midday meal, or a plate piled high with tender baby back ribs for dinner.

Food enthusiasts might recognize Metro Diner from Guy Fieri's popular show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. The diner is renowned for its savory comfort food, featuring signature dishes like the Scramble Bowls, Shrimp Grits, Iron City Meatloaf, and the irresistible Fried Chicken and Waffles, which is a true highlight, served with powdered sugar and strawberry butter accompanied by sweet-and-spicy syrup.

Among Sheffield's personal favorites is the Roasted Turkey Plate, featuring perfectly seasoned turkey breast roasted in-house, served with rich brown gravy, cornbread stuffing, creamy mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, and cranberry sauce. He describes it fondly, saying, "It’s like Thanksgiving every day.” This is particularly meaningful for him as a new member of the Anderson community, as he aims to build solid relationships with locals.

As typical for all Metro Diner locations, this new establishment is keen on supporting the community by offering a 10% discount to uniformed first responders and active or retired military personnel.
