The Crabby Take

Crabby Pilot's take

Fellow aviators, I'll level with you - Metro 29 Diner isn't your typical coastal catch, but this Arlington institution has earned serious respect in the dining world. When the founder of Clyde's Restaurant Group calls it his idea of a great restaurant, and it's featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, you know you've found something special. Even President Biden has been spotted here, which speaks volumes about the quality.

This is the kind of place that does everything well - from hearty breakfasts served from 6 AM to steaks, chops, and Italian specialties that'll satisfy any appetite. While it may not be waterfront dining, Metro 29 delivers on what matters most: consistently excellent food made with the freshest, highest quality ingredients. Their homemade desserts alone are worth the trip, and being open until 10 PM daily makes it perfect for those late arrivals after a long day of flying.
