Review from Albert O.
Waterloo, ON

They have claimed to have the best schnitzel in town. In a city with the biggest Oktoberfest outside of Munich, that is a big claim. I haven't tried all the schnitzel in town yet, but the Metro serves them up delicious in many different styles. You can find the breading and topping combination for you.

First things, first...! Why was this added as a "Cambodian" restaurant? Hopefully, my change goes through and it gets updated to a German restaurant. It's schnitzel, people!!!
Apparently, a lot of the locals say that this is the best schnitzel in town (as Albert O. mentioned). All the locals I've spoken with note that this place is the place to go for schnitzel.
I ordered the Gypsy Schnitzel for lunch today ($10.95). The gypsy schnitzel came with sauteed red and green peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. You also get a choice of mashed potatoes, home fries, or french fries AND either a salad (red cabbage, toss, caesar) OR vegetables. You have to choose whether you want a salad or veggie. But you get a choice of potatoe for sure!
The gypsy schnitzel was good. It was fine. I'm definitely no schnitzel expert, so I can't really claim this as being good or bad, but for the quality and quantity of food and the price, I thought it was quite reasonable.
The caesar salad was quite nice! Every piece of romain lettuce was covered with the caesar sauce which was not overly saucey, salty, etc. It was just right. Believe you me! I ate every single bite of my romain lettuce/caesar salad. It was good and well worth it!
The home fries were also good, nicely flavored. What are home fries? Depending on where you go, I guess they can all be different, right? Well, home fries here at this location are pieces of potato cut into medium sized pieces and covered with some spices and probably pan-fried or baked.

It looks like a small restaurant once you walk in. It's quite quaint! There are several small rooms that only hold 4-5 tables each, but it's like having secret passages .... that lead to another room that holds 4-5 tables. Pretty neat. I liked it.
All in all, enjoyed it and would come back again. Rated it 3 stars because I don't know what is considered to be EXCELLENT versus not.
