Metro Diner opens new Concord Pike location

Metro Diner, a 26-year-old Florida-based chain, opened its third Delaware location Tuesday at 5600 Concord Pike near Talleyville.

The chain is known for serving such comfort foods as fried chicken and waffles, Charleston-style shrimp and grits, and a "meatloaf plate." Most dishes cost less than $15.

The 4,800-square-foot diner has seating for more than 100 patrons, indoors and out. It offers breakfast all day, as well as lunch and dinner.

The diner is across from the Market Square Shopping Center that is home to Trader Joe's and Panera Bread.

The other Delaware Metro Diner locations are at 745 Middletown-Warwick Road in
Middletown, and 4601 Ogletown-Stanton Road in Newark. 

“Delaware has given Metro Diner a huge, warm welcome since we opened our first restaurant here last year,” said Concord Pike Metro Diner Managing Partner Eric Jackson. “I’m so excited to welcome the folks of Wilmington, and introduce them to our good, classic diner favorites.”
