    Quick and easy lunch at first watch. We were greeted by a friendly young man, held the door open, and cleaned off the table for us. Great attention to detail he has. I love the outdoor seating option especially on a beautiful sunny day. A lot of great options and new menu items. I like sticking with my usual biscuits and gravy, along with the turkey sandwich. The tomato soup was tasty and hearty.

    Who doesn't love a good breakfast spot? We're always on the lookout for a place to have a filling and delicious breakfast, and for some reason places fall short. Not so with First Watch! Our server, Bri, was amazing - great friendly attitude, warm and most importantly she was on top of everything. A+ service The food came out quickly and it was hot and fresh and expertly prepared. Asked for eggs over easy and got perfection, no goopy slime but delicious runny yolks. Loved the interior design as well. Can't wait to come back!

    order and packed with flavor. I was impressed! The dish I ordered was the Farmhouse Hash, which featured perfectly seasoned potatoes that were crispy on the outside and topped with a sunny-side-up egg and toast. I paired it with a refreshing mimosa. My mother ordered the Works Omelette, which she said was excellent. The servers are always cheerful and attentive, ensuring we never had to ask for anything. The restaurant's layout is lovely, offering indoor seating, outdoor patio seating, and even a bar area with windows and walls that slide open to let in fresh air and natural light. The space feels bright and inviting. This is definitely a great spot to enjoy breakfast or brunch and start your day off right!

    Love the waffles comes with jam and the buttery cinnamon.

    Grabbed brunch together as a family. We hadn't been together in a while and wanted to share a meal together. There were 7 of us in the party, one of which was a 2 year old. I got the tri-fecta and it did not disappoint. Others were pleased with what they got. My wife got some green leafy salad or something and she said it was just ok and didn't eat most of it. My daughter got the club and one bite had some gnarly tasting avacado but generally it was good. All in all, first watch didn't disappoint. Service wasn't that good as we had to ask for more coffee. Basically delivered the food and we didn't see our server again. Fortunately we enjoying the company more than we were thinking about the service.

    I was excited when they were opening up a First Watch restaurant in St. Cloud. First Watch is a great spot for a healthy breakfast or lunch. I joined their waiting list the moment I left my house. When I arrived I was #3 in line. The prices are reasonable , although portion sizes are a bit smaller than other restaurants, but it's very filling. We ordered the works omelette and the Trifecta with a morning meditation. Everything tasted good. The service was not only friendly but also impressively efficient, making for an enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended!

    The food is always fresh with generous portions. The hostess and servers are attentive and friendly, and the restaurant is bright, open, and clean. Some people complain about the price, but let's face it, everything's more expensive, and if I'm going to pay for someone else to cook me breakfast, it better be quality food and great service, which you will get eating here.

    The food was amazing per usual. Let's take a minute and appreciate the entire staff.. While checking into the restaurant there was an emergency and the hostess cleared the area to allow a clear path for the first responders. Brought everything back to its place and continued where she left off. Our waitress, Alexandra, was the sweetest and extremely kind. She listened closely while taking our orders and even suggested to add some menu items for a more enhanced tasted. Al thought it was busy, she made it her point to check in with us from the moment we sat down until we left. I truly applaud this phenomenal group of team members creating an efficient yet cosy ambiance.

But if you stop there, you're missing out. Step inside and everything changes. The ambiance is elegant, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the place has a great energy. It was completely full when we arrived--which is always a good sign, even for a smaller space. We were seated quickly, and our hostess immediately took great care of us. She walked us through the menu and highlighted the specials, which made ordering easy. The food came out fast, and everything--from the presentation to the aroma to the taste--was excellent. No weak points. What really stood out was the atmosphere. It felt like one big family gathering. Even though everyone was a stranger, the vibe made it feel like we were all part of the same table. Safe to say, we've found our new weekend spot when we don't feel like cooking. We'll definitely be back.

We walked inside and it has a Vintage look, basic booths and tables and dim lighting. We weren't sure they were open because the outside lights were off so we walked in and saw people here and they just forgot to turn the lights on. They were open. We sat anywhere we chose so we chose a booth. Then a young man came and provided us menus and helped navigate us through the menu. My husband ordered the short ribs with mango juice. I ordered the Millanaise steak with eggs on top and we also ordered empanadas I ordered a chicken and my husband ordered beef. It came with a side of chimichurri sauce. It took a while for everything to come, but the Millanaise steak was presented very well. It was good, I wanted to try an Argentinian staple meal and so I did. My husband enjoyed his meal. He finished the whole thing. My steak was clearly too large for my belly. I will be taking leftovers home.

The service here is top notch. Lindsay was my server and took extra good care of me, and my pup! Jordan and Bri are great as well, they really care about their guests.

Lindsay gets a special shout-out for being kind, caring, and attentive! What a ray of sunshine! She was so excited when she arrived with my dessert (she made a brownie sundae just for me). It was everything you would want in a sweet treat. A perfectly warm brownie and cold vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream just hits, and they do it right! 2. The. Meats. Were. GREAT. I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love. All I could do was smile as I ate my lunch, knowing I have an amazing bbq spot so close to me. 3. The corn nuggets were SO GOOD and SO comforting. Crispy, sweet, and perfect. I eyed the menu before going, and these caught my eye immediately. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to have them again! 4. The sauces were FIRE. The sweet and the crimson were perfect to us. 5. Who doesn't like 80s Rock and Roll?! Its one of those places that make you feel at home. The location is perfect, as well. Lakefront is a great place to dily dally while you digest the deliciousness. Rock on, Big John!!

    Posted by Kathy Padgett…read more My recent order had to be one of the worst meals I have ever ordered. New owners are to blame. I have been dining at The Catfish Place since Steve Johnson (now deceased) opened it in 1971. I knew Steve and he made sure you were served a delicious and plentiful meal. After Steve passed his family carried on with the same tradition. We moved from Saint Cloud, FL years ago, but every time I went home to Saint Cloud I made sure I ordered from The Catfish Place. When my husband and I lived in MS, I would order 2 meals for pick-up. I placed them in my cooler and toted them back to MS for my husband and I to reheat and enjoy. That's how good the food was. Fairly recently the family sold the restaurant. When I would go home I was warned by the locals not to order from The Catfish Place since the new owners took over...jacked up prices and horrible food. During my last trip I thought how bad could it be so I took a chance. I was hungry for fried scallops & oysters. I ordered for pick-up. If I tried I could not have made a worse meal. The scallops were itty-bitty things not much larger than my thumbnail! The oysters? Where were they? All I received were tiny bits covered by a huge amount of greasy crispy fried coating. The little bits of oysters didn't taste quite right so I trashed them as I became very nauseas. Believe me when I say I don't trash fried oysters! In a nutshell, I can understand raising prices in today's times, but you don't change the quality or the amount of food for which The Catfish Place was known to offer. Poor Steve, he would be so ashamed. As the adage goes: "If it ain't broke...don't fix it!"
