A diner is the perfect place to eat when on a road trip. This great New York Diner had the best breakfast I have had in years. It was the Metro7 Diner in Latham, NY and I just had to share it. We spent a weekend in Latham, NY for a lacrosse tournament and discovered this breakfast gem. After a little research we finally decided to try the Metro7 Diner and it did not disappoint. I try to find a great diner whenever I go on road tris and this great New York Diner will make my top ten! From the moment we drove into the parking lot I was thinking I made the right choice. The meat smoker in the parking lot was a very good sign.
The bright red and classic look of the building just screams great diner. But the pastry display at the counter clinches it. Metro7 Diner is clean, warm and friendly. My daughter had a lot of lacrosse to play that day so we were looking for big breakfasts and that is what we got. The coffee was great, the food was amazing and the portions were huge. Surprisingly, with everything so expensive these days, the cost was reasonable.
My daughter got the Original Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream with a side of bacon. The portion was huge and she said “They’re the best pancakes I’ve ever had!”
My husband got a tomato and cheese omelet with rye toast and a side of fruit. Everything was wonderful. I am a huge Eggs Benedict fan and decided to try the California Benedict. The California Benedict is two perfectly is poached eggs, turkey sausage and avocado on top of an English muffin, covered in Hollandaise Sauce. The California Benedict is my new favorite.
You can tell that the Metro7 Diner is a family restaurant. The employees are friendly and have an easy camaraderie that screams family. Our waitress was Rhianna and she was fantastic. She chatted with everyone, and made sure everyone had what they needed and that your coffee was always full. What more could you want?
My only regret..that I didn’t get one of the chocolate chip muffins for later. I would give Metro7 Diner as a diner recommendation any day of the week. Make sure to check it out if you are ever near Latham, NY.
