The food was amazing. The drinks were amazing. The waitress and other staff were accommodating, polite, and we were well cared for. A hidden gem at the Newburyport train station. Others need to discover it because it was a really fun evening.

The smoked shoulder burrito was terrific. I prefer this style of burrito to the sauce covered mess you get at some other places. The margarita tasted fresh and delicious. Restaurants are expensive. A little chips and salsa or something on the side would have been nice?

We had a great time at Metzys. Shannon and Tyler took very good care of us and the food was fantastic! Plenty of seating and tons of parking. Plus it's perfect for commuters who want a quick bite. I love this place and we'll definitely be back.😊
