Metro has at least one fan amid the haters: Union Social, a new NoMa eatery that takes inspiration from Metro and transportation in general. But you can’t tribute one of the city’s most famously criticized agencies without expecting a few jabs in return. We can’t say we didn’t see it coming.
Here are a few of the best responses on Twitter:

@jsidman To get inside, you have to stand behind baffled tourists staring slackjawed at an incomprehensible vending machine

@peterogburn The food will be overpriced, late, and may smoke without warning.

@wcp hopefully the heat will randomly be stuck on max, and there will be grown men and women playing iPhone videos games at max volume.

It's in a 1970s building with disgusting carpets & smells like it was dredged from the Potomac? #wmata https://t.co/cciqD7JHsx

#wmatarestaurant is the only restaurant in town that smells like an Arc welder and still passes health and safety inspections

Servers lack basic training and customer service skills. They get paid $100,000+/annually. #wmatarestaurant

Waiters pronounce the names of all the menu items improperly. #WMATArestaurant #wmata

#WMATArestaurant waiters KNOW there's a problem with your food but won't tell you until it's been a problem for at least 10 minutes.

@FixWMATA Service at the weekend is shockingly bad #WMATArestaurant

Puts your food down on the table; 5 seconds later, jerks it a foot forward. #WMATARestaurant
