Metro 29 Diner on Lee Highway in Arlington has been a Northern Virginia breakfast institution since it opened, serving the kind of generous, scratch-made diner food that earns a suburban community its go-to morning restaurant. It appeared in Season 10, Episode 11 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Sweet ‘n Savory,” which aired November 26, 2010. Guy Fieri found a classic American diner kitchen doing things properly from scratch in the D.C. suburbs — the kind of neighborhood diner that the Washington metro area doesn’t have enough of.

What to Eat
The Belgian Waffles with fresh fruit and whipped cream are the breakfast signature that earns repeat visits. The Corned Beef Hash, made from scratch, is the savory alternative that Guy highlighted during the episode. The Omelettes, built to order with a generous filling list, are the other morning centerpiece. The French Toast on thick-cut bread with seasonal compote is the sweet option most regulars add when they can’t decide between that and the waffles. The Milkshakes, hand-dipped and made to order, are the dessert that turns a breakfast stop into a full afternoon. Compare Arlington hotel rates on Trivago.
