Great spot for cheesesteak sandwiches and burgers. Had chicken Chee steak with mushrooms and fries. Service is extra friendly and very efficient. Definitely would recommend to others and return again in the future. It’s like going back home to Pennsylvania without leaving town 🙂

Best Philly cheesesteak ever, hands down. After being away from the city 15 years I came back and food is so consistently good. Good portion and affordable prices

I finally stopped into this place, and just had the best cheesesteak I’ve had on the west coast. Definitely coming back!

Love this spot. Been coming here since 2009 or so. Don't sleep on the chili cheese tots (not on the menu but they'll make them no problem).

Stumbled on this place looking for something for Lunch. Had a burger and it was delicious, ig I’ve never had really fresh lettuce cause I swear I could taste the crunch. Also the patty was hand made which doubled down on the flavor. The owner was super chill and was quick with the service too. Told me they’re more known for their cheesesteaks so I’ll have to get that the next time I come back.

I hadn’t been to Metro in quite some time but the cheesesteaks were just as delicious as I remembered them to be. My son had it for the first time and really enjoyed it as well. The owner was there and super friendly. The place is extremely clean! Would highly recommend and will make a point to come back more often.

The burgers are made with hand-formed patties, fresh veggies, and cooked on a charcoal grill for a nice, smoky flavor. The variety of burgers and cheesesteaks here definitely invites you to come back and try everything. The fries are great and the jalepeno poppers are cooked perfectly! Also, shoutout to the owner. He is a down to earth guy. He made me and my friends feel very welcomed. Thank you!

I consider myself fortunate moving a block away from Metro not because of their excellent and speedy service or their expansive menu choices but because they make the best burgers I’ve had in ages. Omar and his staff have fed me a weekly burger of consistent quality and masterful construction since moving to the lower Haight. The magic of this cheesesteak restaurant is that they also make a great burger. Hand formed patties cooked on a charcoal grill with a perfect balance of veggies and condiments makes for the most consistently excellent burger experience I’ve ever enjoyed. If you are looking for fine fast dining without any pretense of exoticism I suggest trying anything on the menu. It is worth the money and the trip.

Bacon cheesesteak + chili cheese fries 🤌🤌🤌 Fast, hot and fresh. Very clean & welcoming spot. Love having this in my neighborhood!

Simply the best QUALITY you will ever find. I'm from Chicago. I know the difference between Pats's and Geno's Steaks all too well due to Penn. The prices reflect the high-end sourcing of the meats. If there were a Michelin star for non-chain fast food joints that are to be found east of the Mississippi, Metro deserves the maximum of three stars. It is crazy delicious.

Born and raised in the City and this is my favorite burger/cheese steak joint, everything is always hot and fresh, ask for anything your way and get it how you like it 😋 owner and staff are very accommodating...I've been a customer since it opened...

What can I say about this place. It’s tried and true, been around for years. The metro cheesesteak just combines that savory, cheesy, spicy flavor perfectly. Bun is soft and doesn’t fall apart. Tater-tots are hot and crispy. You won’t be disappointed.

Came to this place randomly, made feel welcomed. Authentic SF cheesesteaks. Not your ordinary cafe. Sit down, eat and come back again. Shout out to you guys.

N

I've been here quite a few times and the cheesesteaks are solid. The cheese tots are really good, and I'd recommend getting the large since you get a lot more for just one extra dollar. My only knocks on the place is that onions and peppers aren't standard with every cheesesteak, and I had a couple experiences where the cheesesteak was a bit dry.

I needed to eat something, and this place popped out at me. So I gave it a try. It's OK for a quick fix. It's not something I'd rave about.

I’ve had the good fortune to try cheesesteaks all over the country, and this place ranks in the middle. I got a hoagie, the meat could use some more seasoning, and the peppers were quite mild. BUT the service was stellar, and very quick. Clearly a local staple, I’d go back.

Cool little neighborhood spot in the lower Haight. Cheesstakes, burgers, and chilli dogs are the standouts here. Metro is a small cafe like eatery catered by Omar who's family ran a corner store on Fillmore. Stop by and say hello and grab some good grub!

Ordered a Metro cheesesteak 12" It's enormous. Very good potion. Not especially super tasty, but nicely spicy. Was prepared quickly.

I don't know if the guy owns the restaurant. Or he's a manager. But he was very arrogant. And he treated the delivery guy who delivers his food very badly. He should respect these hard-working people. It's clear he's a terrible person. I don't recommend it.
