After a long week at the office, Jered and I have two options on a Friday night: dinner out on the town or a night at home watching Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I would almost put money on it, we have seen every single episode! When we travel, we love checking out places that have been highlighted on DDD. We get really excited when there is a place in Oklahoma! Recently, The Metro Diner opened in our neighborhood; it's less than five miles away from our house! They are an old-fashioned diner focused on the classic dishes with a few modern twists sprinkled in. Their food is hand-made with love and served with a smile!

Before the grand opening, they reached out to me to make a visit in exchange for a blog post. Now it was time to do my research! Thanks to, Brittni, one of my old co-workers (and dear friend), I always look at the menu before visiting a restaurant for the first time. That is when I realized that one of their locations was on DDD! You can only imagine how much I freaked out, I think I may have even squealed out loud. I couldn't wait to have the chance to check out this place and share my review with you!

Everyone has his or her own idea of what comfort food is. It varies from person to person; we each have different experiences and memories to draw upon. My comfort food dish is pot roast. Now, I know that may sound unusual, but hear me out. When I was younger, my family had lunch together each Sunday after church, before working cattle. We probably had pot roast two times a month (more or less depending on the season). That meal was complete with the vegetables, mashed potatoes, brown gravy and some type of bread. That meal is like a hug for my soul. As odd as this may sound, it makes me feel connected to my past. It doesn't matter if its 90 degrees out I crave this dish year-round! When I saw it on the menu at The Metro Diner, I knew I had to give it a try. I held it to a very high standard and I must say, it did not disappoint!

My friend, Azure and her daughter, Kirby, tagged along as my dinner guests. We had a great evening of catching up! Kirby girl is growing like a weed! Azure ordered the Chicken Pot Pie. Kirby had the best of both worlds because she sampled a little of both. During our visit, our waitresses took such good care of us, their attention to detail was appreciated! They made us feel warm and welcome. I cannot wait to go back and check out their breakfast options. The cinnamon roll pancakes have my name written all over it! When you visit, make sure to let me know what you ordered.
