Metro Diner Debuts First Location in Lecanto
The culinary landscape of Citrus County expanded this week as Metro Diner opened its latest location at 3351 W. Norvell Bryant Hwy. The 3,710-square-foot establishment, situated within the Summit View at Corta Commons, brings the chain’s signature comfort food to the region’s rapidly developing commercial corridor.
The menu emphasizes scratch-made classics, ranging from breakfast platters to Angus beef burgers. Among the highlighted offerings are the Fried Chicken & Waffle and the Iron City Meatloaf, a dish that previously gained national exposure on the Food Network program Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. For the initial launch phase, the restaurant operates daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., with management intending to extend service until 8 p.m. following the introduction of a full dinner menu.
