    We came in with our in laws. The place is nice. The service was awful. The food was not good at all the potatoes were so salty. The French toast was soggy. This is a tourist trap and I'm sure it a one time visit with no locals coming in after the first time. It's overpriced for what it is. I do not recommend it.

    I met a friend here to celebrate her birthday! If you get there early you won't have to wait to be seated. I was lucky and got a booth right away. They have a nice menu with so many options. I chose the A.M. Superfoods bowl. It has a coconut milk chia seed pudding. It was topped with bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and house made granola. They also give you toast with almond butter. The food was so fresh, the service was so nice. Allison was our server and she was quick and efficient, even with her having many tables. I can easily see myself eating there weekly because it is really a nice open and fresh environment. The food itself is freshly prepared and delicious. Hope you enjoy the pictures. My friend got the breakfast tacos!

    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!

    Enjoyed  my birthday with my friends and delighted everything the dishes .

    Tomato basil soup and BLTE sandwich for me and husband order the traditional breakfast. It was all really good. Service was normal but nothing outstanding. One review said it was freezing in there but the day I went it was actually muggy hot. Food was fresh. Would definitely go again.

    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.

    Can't go wrong with brunch! The food is always good , drinks are yummy too. There always seems to be a line but it goes by quick! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Service is quick!

    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.

Everyone talks about their pies here and yes they are fantastic and you can often get less common pies that you would not find in your local grocery store. Think Rhubarb, Lemon Marange, French Silk or even a pumpkin pie in May. Service was fine and the food was excellent. Standard diner rules so you can have breakfast anytime you would like. We ordered club sandwich and biscuits and gravy that came out quickly and disappeared from our plate in short order. I will certainly be back as they offer daily specials and take note that if you are a veteran they also have a special for you as well.

Drinks were very slow. Food was very slow. All but one food item was cold. All steaks overcooked. Not even close. Salmon overcooked. Not even close No chimichurri for steak. No gravy for chicken and gravy. No green beans. No vegetables. We didn't know any of that ahead of time. When our food arrived, the sauces and sides didn't come out with the food. When they went back to get them, they had no sauces and no vegetables/green beans. The chicken and gravy Father's Day special had no gravy, the steak chimichurri had no chimichurri. No warning from the kitchen and waitress was sent out to tell us. Solution to all of it was to give us a $3 discount on the individual items, the steak and the chicken and gravy. It's hard to explain how exceptionally slow, cold and overcooked the food was. Seemed like one server, one manager and one cook at the restaurant. Wouldn't have written the review if they were even somewhat understanding of how bad things were. The $3 off was incredibly token especially for Father's Day meal where we spent upwards of $500. Just didn't want anyone else having the experience we did.

    Thanks to Yelp! I was able to find a restaurant to fulfill my craving for some delicious ribs in…read morethe area! I was about 25 minutes away, when I took my family here, and they were wondering where we were going, but let me tell you, they were not disappointed by the food, service and the surround area. When we arrived, it seemed like a downtown area that was kind of chill because it was a Tuesday early evening. Barely any traffic around and tons of open parking, especially right in front to the restaurant. From the front I noticed some funny signs, a patio that was wide open for seating, yard games and a nice cozy dive bar vibe. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted at the counter by our server. It was not busy, there was actually only one customer sitting at the bar. The bar has about 6 seats and has TVs to watch and the restaurant if filled with tons of cool Classic Rock pictures, memorabilia and quotes. It was just the vibe we needed to just hang as a family. The server allowed us to pick any table we wanted. We ordered margaritas. They were delicious. We also has the RIBS, okra, mac & cheese, potato salad, some greens, cornbread, brisket, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING, including the SERVICE was on point; we left well fed, satisfied and happy we found this place to eat tonight. To walk off the food , there is a park right across the street. At the park you will find food trucks for dessert, like ice cream on a hot day. There's also a walking trail and a play ground for the kiddos. There was an area where people were fishing off the doc. I saw an area where people also get married and a facility for our veterans. I included some pictures of what I saw along my way after I left the restaurant for people looking for things to do in the area with a family and/or friends. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by this restaurant for some good eats, drinks and just a place to relax and have a good time. There's also service is great and the area is filled with things to do afterwards. Thank me later.

    I seriously can't wait to be back at Big John's! Let me tell you 5 reasons why we WILL be back:…read more 1. Our waitress was absolutely the sweetest. 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!!

We believe we overheard there was a call out, so our hostess (I wish I remember her name) came and brought us drinks to help out our server, Lacey. That was a great first impression. Lacey was so sweet and genuinely cared about providing a great experience. She gave us recommendations of things to do in the area, and catered to our gluten allergy needs. The GF chicken tenders and fries in the gluten free dedicated fryer were delicious. (If you're gluten free, call ahead to make sure dedicated fryer is in use. Lacey told us that on rare occasions, they don't use a dedicated fryer. Example, if one of the main fryers is down.) My catfish was delightful and the key lime pie was the best I've ever had outside of the Florida Keys. Lacey even brought us local orange blossom honey that they serve in their little shop area for my hush puppies. Also, the music was fun with good singalong country/southern rock singalongs. Will definitely be back again.

    I had heard this place was legendary online and by word of mouth. I knew I needed to try this place…read moreout. I went with my mom and it was probably fifty minutes after it had opened for the day. There were quite a few people already eaten and by the demographic (older crowd) I knew this place was going to slap. In addition to that, I heard some of the waitresses talking to the customers and most of them seemed to be locals and frequent customers. Due to that, I figured the food must be good. Anyway, we had a server who was very friendly and personable. I ordered the lunch special where I got the catfish, fried flounder, the vegetable of the day, squash, and mashed potatoes with country fried steak gravy. My mom got fried clam and fried catfish with a side of coleslaw. The ordering time did not take too long and our food came out relatively fast. The catfish was very tasty along with the fried flounder. They are were very well cooked and had a nice breading-to-fish ratio. I enjoyed the yellow squash as the vegetable of the day but I wasn't crazy about the mashed potatoes. I personally would not get them again. My mom enjoyed the fried clam as she talked about how she used to get a Howard Johnsons fried clam sandwich that she still dreams of. She said these fried clams were even better cooked than the ones she had in the past. She also said she really enjoyed the catfish as it was very tasty. Finally, she mentioned how the coleslaw was really good as it wasn't overly 'mayonaisey.' Now, I do have one negative thing to say. Although our waitress was very sweet and kind she was a bit slow on wrapping up our dining experience. We both wanted to get some desert to go, and waited at least ten minutes for her to come back to our table. There was a long period of time where I did not see her waiting on any tables and was in the kitchen. She eventually came back and we ordered the Chocolate Silk Pie and the Peach Cobbler. Then we ended up waiting another ten for the check. Other than that, we did enjoy our experience and this restaurant and would come back in the future.
