Reviews for Metropolis Restaurant in Wyncote, PA
A nice black owned and operated business that I was more than happy to support. Came for a birthday celebration where there was... ample parking. Parking for guest are the spots right past the security gate. I drove around in a circle for a bit before I wasflagged by friends showing me where I could park. Also, was a bit confused because it is an apartment complex with therestaurant situated at the entry level. We were the first patrons there and while waiting I was able to watch the football gamesand even tried ordering a drink, however this is a BYOB establishment. Servers were very friendly but were just off. We were aparty of 8 and was it was suggested that we try the pineapple ginger lemonade, I wasn't a fan of this drink and Ive hadsomething very similar. I wasn't able to taste much of the ginger or pineapple but I did like the fruit punch. I ordered thesalmon Caesar salad because nothing really jumped out at me from the menu but the salad wasn't bad, it just had too muchdressing on it and the salmon was cooked well done. I ordered this at the same time that everyone else ordered their meal butnobody else received their plate after me so I dug in (I was a bit hungry). By the time I was done eating they still hadn'treceived their meals and at this point we are looking for the servers. It wasn't packed, there were 2 other patrons at thetime. Finally meals came out (lamb chops, crab cakes, shrimp and grits and other stuff) w/Mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, andyams. The Mac and Cheese was a hard pass for me, just didn't taste right to me and the yams were good but I think my sugarspikes a bit after eating some. I didn't order dessert but a few people did but ended up taking them home, so not sure how itwas. One of the complaints was the wait time for people to receive their food and no communication with the table on the timeit was taking for it to come out and then we had to remind her what each person swapped out and what they replaced i Read more
The owner’s hospitality was amazing. She made sure that me & my guest was taken care of. Salmon Cheesesteak is always the n... point! Great ambiance, I would definitely go back! Read more
The owner was nice and personable. The waitress was also really nice and patient. The service was very slow and the food was... good but not great. When I visited, there were a few items on the menu that they had ran out of, including French fries whichare a staple. BYOB is a nice touch. Would go again if they service was quicker. Read more

I had my husband’s birthday dinner here on November 19th as I have been here twice prior and really try to support black... businesses. The food is amazing, however it is never hot when served. The servers are friendly, but not attentive(even beforethe pandemic). They will disappear for long periods of time without checking on you. It was a hassle just to get a glass ofwater for each guest and eating utensils. There is also a $50 charge to bring an outside cake, however its a BYOB restaurant soyou can bring alcohol which is great but seems more of a liability than a cake. Although the owner was very friendly in person,whoever is in charge of responding to emails for private events was not very helpful or seemed to not want to be bothered. Irequested a phone call but was told email was the preferred method of contact. Overall, the guests enjoyed their food and theambience. Read more
We were here from Baltimore and a friend that is a Philly native recommended them. We are so glad we came. They genuinely... offered above average service, and the food portion was Hungry-Man size!???? Our waitress Ruby was friendly and helpful and theowner was wonderful. The food was good but we did have an issue with the greens but the owner came over, talked with us, andrectified it with a smile. We rocked to the music while we ate and even talked with other customers! Everyone was warm andfriendly. Thank you Metropolis for showing us Baltimorians love. ?? We will be Back! Read more
