Metro Diner Marks Milestone Anniversary With Flashback Menu

TAMPA, FL — Metro Diner, a go-to spot for classic diner food since 1992, is inviting guests to dig into an all-year 30th anniversary bash by enjoying limited-time past menu favorites.

From juicy burgers to generously built sandwiches, the Metro Diner Flashbacks calendar demonstrates what made the classic diner such a success.

Metro Diner has been bringing comfort food lovers to the table since it was founded in Jacksonville by Master Chef Mark Davoli and his family. The diner quickly became known and loved for its hearty servings of diner food. There are now 58 locations in 12 states.

The restaurant has earned awards for its breakfast, burgers and overall excellence as a favorite local diner. It even caught the attention of celebrity chef Guy Fieri, who featured it on his Food Network show, "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." Fieri raved about many Metro signature items, including its famed Iron City Meatloaf.

The Metro Diner Flashbacks calendar includes the Bold City Burger, a half-pound Angus burger and sausage patties topped with Provel cheese and piled high with toppings, available through March 20; Huevos Rancheros, featuring eggs served over fried tortillas, sausage, black beans, onions and peppers, and topped with melted cheese, salsa, sour cream, fried jalapeños and green onions; and the Holy Davoli Burger, named after Metro Diner’s founding family, boasts a half-pound Angus burger with all the fixings stacked between two grilled cheese sandwiches.

Later in the year, guests can look forward to the Pittsburgh Salad, another "Di., ners, Drive-Ins and Dives" feature, along with a few other surprises.
