Great service and really good food. Our waitress was great. It was crowded but the wait was short.

HUGE PORTIONS!!!! And everything tasted great!!! I got a huge omelet, a plate of hashbrowns, and 2 giant pancakes for $11. The place is extremely outdated but whatever the staff and food is great. read more

This is what you wish the Family Restaurant on the main road was. I found this checking into the other place as a matter of fact. After the book signing I was determined that I wouldn't leave St. Cloud without having a decent meal. Brigitte's isn't far at all from everything else. It's nice that it's on the side street. I started with a delicious tomato soup. I only wanted something lighter on the drive home. I had an egg salad sandwich that happened to be the special. It was stuffed and delicious, exactly what it should be, same as Basil's steak sandwich. Next time I'll do breakfast and get some more adventurous items. This was around 3:30. Actually I'd get any meal here. This is the Key's of St. Cloud, complete with a dessert display. read more

If you're driving up from the Twin Cities or in from North Dakota, do yourself a favor and take the time to get off the interstate to visit this local favorite. I came for breakfast and could have spent the day enjoying the large selection of freshly prepared meals. Presenting all the traits of a small town eatery, the selections are generous, but not overwhelming. Another bonus is the complete lack of canned "youthful" music. And the staff is very attentive, yet cordial and welcoming. And best of all perhaps is the price, very reasonable. There is one negative: biscuits and gravy are not on the menu, but they are available. So come anyway. read more

A diner style restaurant with GREAT food and good prices!! They have the friendliest staff too!!! Just a great place to eat without breaking the bank!! read more

Brigitte's Cafe - First class breakfast!! - American Near Me - Saint Cloud, Minnesota

Stopped in for breakfast. The food was average, comparable to Denny's or Perkins. While I received my order quickly, no one checked on me after my meal was brought to me, nor did I receive any drink refills. My check was dropped at the table the same time as my meal. When I went to pay at the counter, the person just said the amount owed & swiped my card. The only acknowledgment that I was a customer was how to select an amount for a tip? Are you kidding me? How about a "hi" or "hello" or "how was your meal" or a "thank you" as I left? Nothing. Such rude service. Oh, and by the way, I left $0.00 as a tip, which I've never done in my life. As a standard, I tip 20% (even on take-out) and increase from 20% for extremely awesome service. read more

Have been there off and on for many years when in the area... our place to go for breakfast!( Before Perkins or any others!) they have amazing food all day! read more

This is an awesome throw-back place where the price is right, the food is solid, the servers have all been there for years and years and regulars populate the place. It was my first time and will be back soon! read more

I guess this is the best place in the town for breakfast, but the eggs were flat and lacked flavor. The hamburger was greasy and oversalty to cover up for the freezer burn. Sorry. read more

Friendly staff and great food for a great price! Definately worth the drive off the highway on the way home from the cities!

I have been going to this place since I was a little kid and it has always been my favorite place to eat pancakes no matter what time of day it is. It is a place where I have many memories with my grandpa that I will cherish forever. read more

I had a great experience at this place. Their Hamburger steak is delicious!!!! The hollandaise sauce in their eggs Benedict is really nice and buttery!!!! The flavor of their breakfast sausage links were really good! Best I ever had!!! read more

Simply put this is good food. At first the lady that sat me wasn't too happy. Not sure why. Then my waitress came and she was amazing. If they had coca cola instead of Pepsi this place would be perfect. You could actually taste the butter on the toast. The eggs were full and fluffy. The hash browns were crispy and buttery. The corned beef was crisp on the outside and almost creamy in the inside. Made on a flat top just as God intended. This place is on point. Holy huge portions. They are definitely above average in size. read more

Brigitte's Cafe - Corned beef hash - American Near Me - Saint Cloud, Minnesota

Really appreciate this one-off restaurant slightly off the beaten path.... Definite locals place, cops and all! If you're looking for a little rough on the edges in a charming-old-fashioned diner, this is your place! Ordered two pancakes (yumm!) and bacon and cheese omelette... With egg whites... Too much bacon believe it or not.... Don't miss the potato pancakes!!! read more

Brigitte's Cafe - Bacon and cheese omelette, made with egg-whites - American Near Me - Saint Cloud, Minnesota

The Yelp review of being in the top 10 for this area weren't kidding. This place is off the beaten path (ok, hidden by other businesses) but it's totally worth a visit for breakfast of brunch. A HUGE menu with all meals served all day. Very traditional diner food and flavors- a lot like the farm breakfasts my grandma use to make. We (35-45 age group) had hash browns, omelettes, and bacon (awesome all around with crispy bacon). Sister had bacon cheeseburger that she said was diner quality, and she loved the seasoning in the fries. Daughter had pancakes and they were gone in three minutes. The "cakes" (pancakes) are the size of the plate (lunch plate)- so order with care when you are choosing how many. This is the first time my 14 year old son had more than he could eat!! Definitely will be coming back. read more

Had a nice breakfast and it was as expected. Very cozy family owned type of resturant.

My first time eating here. This restaurant always has a full parking lot so we wanted to check it out. We arrive in the middle of a rush, but only had to wait a few minutes for a table to be cleaned and we were seated. They got our drinks and food quickly, the serving staff was very friendly, and they got our check to us quickly as well. Not to mention the food was AMAZING! I had the country fried steak, and my boyfriend had their biscuits and gravy. It was delicious. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back! read more

Cute little place tucked away off of the main drag and well worth the stop. I was looking today for a non chain restaurant for breakfast in this town and believe me that is not an easy thing to do. I'm pleased with this place and will most likely come back. Today I had apple pancakes. I didn't know what to expect as there wasn't a broad description on the menu. I received two almost crepe thin pancakes covered in baked apples in a caramel sauce and whipped cream. I usually like thicker and fluffier cakes, but that is just a preference and not worth judging a place on. The had great flavor and were very large. Portions are very large and the prices are inexpensive. Well worth stopping if you're looking for a local place and not a chain place. read more

Your usual small town cafe. The food is plentiful, dishes priced right and the staff was friendly. We had breakfast there and found the food to be just okay. I'd go back, but this wouldn't be my first choice. read more

I was in the area today, craving some ma and pa style home cooking. Came across this place. As soon as I walked in I knew I found the right place. Biscuits gravy, breakfast all day, hot sandwiches and burgers. Super good food! Will be sure to stop in again read more

Pretty good experience, learned of the place in yelp. I love the fact the owner responds to each comment which tells me they are aware and always looking for ways to improve. Me and my kids enjoyed the food and a clean restaurant. The only thing I would have preferred was better OJ, the color was off and the taste wasn't really OJ. Overall a good place. read more

We had a great breakfast this morning. The hash browns were fantastic! They loved their potato pancakes and said they were nice and crispy! We'll be back! read more

I had a cheese omelet and a side of pancakes. Neither were the best I've ever had but they weren't bad. It seemed like a nice mom and pop place and the service was nice. read more

We just had breakfast and the service and food was great! My only complaint is when I went to pay the young man taking the payment didn't even acknowledge me or say thank you once I was finished paying. He did say have a nice day though. As a local small business owner I find it troubling that this happens. read more

Outdated cafe near the malls. Truly a local place. Servers were decent. Food is reasonable priced. Kids scarfed down pancakes which looked good. The kids Mac n cheese meal was nothing more than box Mac n cheese. Choice of tator tots or fries which is a nice change. Shrimp was good. Ribs were a joke. I specifically asked the waitress how the ribs were...she said "The best". It's my own fault for even getting ribs at a place like this, but I thought sometimes these hidden gems may surprise you. The ribs were gnarly, extremely dry, and looked to be several days old. Mostly fat and dried out meat I couldn't find more than a few edible bites. So very disappointing. read more

Great little cafe! We came in with 14 people and everyone was very accommodating. We were sat right away and all the waitresses were awesome and knew what they were doing. The food was delicous and I would definitely come back. read more

The cook has absolutely no idea how to make scrambled eggs! They were as flat as a piece of paper. Even if made on a flat top they can be fluffy if done right! Hashbrowns were burned and nothing was seasoned so very flavorless and way too much grease. As a former head chef and kitchen manager my advice is not to eat here while they employee a cook who can not make even the simplest dish on the menu. read more

A little off the beaten path but Excellent place to eat. Home cooking, great service.

Last of the home style restaurants in St Cloud! I grew up less than 2 miles from this place. St Cloud used to have lots of decent cafes (Enga's, Little John's Pub, etc.). Now it is just national chains and FuFu third world ethnic places. Brigittes is an oasis in a waste land of chain restaurants. My wife and I were looking for a good place to have lunch. This was recommended by a volunteer at the Stearns County History Museum 2 blocks away. It is a little hard to find, since it is on a side street. The parking lot was full, so we had to park next door. Surprisingly, we were greeted at the door and seated immediately. Although it was crowded, we were waited on quickly. The daily special was fish. My wife had that I had a pork chop. The food was delicious! There was more than either of us should eat. The staff are friendly and efficient. The dining area was clean, and tables bused quickly. Wonderful dining experience. Real home style food. We will be back the next time we return to St Cloud. read more

Great local breakfast place that's not part of a chain. Love the sirloin burger served with onions and mushrooms along with eggs and hash browns. The coffee is a little too weak for my tastes but still pretty good. The service is great. I would go back again and again. read more

Brigitte's is a fantastic place to go for a good meal for a great price. This is a great place to go for the "old time" cafe feeling. It's not a fancy place, but a down to earth cafe where the breakfast is excellent and the lunch specials are always good food for an even better price. All of the servers are friendly and the service is fantastic. read more

From start to finish this place absolutely sucks. The inside is a dump, the service was absolutely terrible. Didn't get to place our orders for 15 minutes while we listened to employees complain over who was going to serve the next table. Never got even one refill and the server only stopped by our table to drop off the food and check (at the same time). Still kicking myself for leaving a tip. The food was sadly far worse. Country fried steak was complete mush, not even the meat had a chew. It was a tv dinner consistency, and instead of country gravy they put this terrible watered down Brown gravy. French toast was small and pathetic, bacon was limp and had black burnt grill residue scattered on it. Even the ketchup was a fail, it was almost jam tasting. And on top of that their prices aren't a bargain at all. My favorite breakfast restaurant in the twin cities is the same price as this place. Can't believe I'd ever say this, but I'd rather eat at a Perkins....and I hate Perkins. read more

Julie, owner of Brigitte's, is probably the nicest woman you will ever meet in your life. We love coming here just because we love the fact that eating there helps support local family business in St. Cloud. There are too many chains in this area! The food is super delicious, inexpensive, made just the way you like it. We use our Dealchicken vouchers to boot so it makes it a screamin deal! By far the best home-cooked breakfast place in town. read more

We are here visiting the parents. They treated us to breakfast and it was excellent! Jackie was our waitress and was very attentive and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good home cooking a great service. read more

Tried this cafe because of the good reviews only be to disappointed. The service was slow, the place was dirty, and everything was outdated. The food was okay... I got a sausage and cheese omelet and I'm convinced the cheese was craft singles. Definitely not going back. read more

We waited for over twenty minutes to have someone come to our table. Someone dropped off waters and then said she would be back to get our order in a few minutes, didn't introduce herself and never came back. We saw her check on multiple other tables multiple times but never came back to our table. We ended up leaving read more

Really great place for breakfast and cheap besides... it may be a hole in the wall but it's good homemade cooking

Come here for a comfortable meal with a small town diner feel. The food is great and the service is amazing. We've tried almost everything on the menu and it's all good home cooking. read more

Classic small town diner. Prepare to wait while the staff exchange gossip with the locals. The food is what makes "Midwestern cuisine" an oxymoron. read more

If you would like something local and some American traditional breakfast. This is the place to go to for breakfast for a Saturday morning. My boyfriend order the New York strip and it was juicy and cooked just the way he wanted. I order the traditional breakfast 2 eggs, sausage links, toast and pancakes and hash brown (cooked crispy and golden brown on top). Our food was wonderful and delicious read more
