A taste of old St. Cloud that still feels like home. We've been coming to Rodeo Diner since we moved to St. Cloud in 2013, back when this town still felt like the small farm community it once was. Rodeo was one of the first places we found, and it's been a favorite ever since. This newer location may be an expansion, but it still holds tight to the heart and soul of the original. From the moment you walk in, you know you're somewhere special. There's nothing flashy or overdone, just honest, old-fashioned country cooking served with a smile. The staff is genuinely friendly and courteous, and the atmosphere is refreshingly simple and unpretentious. It's the kind of place where regulars are greeted by name, and newcomers are welcomed like old friends. We always go for breakfast, no reservations needed. Just roll out of bed and roll through the door. The specials are great, the prices are fair, and the food is consistently satisfying. If you're looking for a recommendation, trust me: the Rodeo Breakfast Special will absolutely make your morning. But honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. In a world that's constantly changing, Rodeo Diner is one of the last true vestiges of what old St. Cloud used to be. It's a comforting reminder of simpler times, where good food and good people came together without all the fuss. We're lucky to have it. read more

Fast, friendly service, small hometown, feel diner that definitely gives you your money's worth!

Good old fashioned diner great and friendly service and place my breakfast go to is there omelettes

Ordered a tunafish sandwich on rye with lettuce and mayo with ff. 25 min to get a sandwich and no lettuce no mayo burnt ff and the tuna had big chunks of hard oiled egg. I didn't want an egg salad I wanted tuna. And the tuna dollop was dry and barely covered the bread. That experience was like they know they're going out of business and they don't give a shit. I would never let a plate go out like that. read more

The food was great. My pancakes were very flavorful. The portion size was quite large. Our server did a fabulous job. On our visit the food took a while to come out of the kitchen. The menu prices were very fair. read more

Good cooked to order meal and friendly service. They were a bit short staffed on the Saturday morning we went but they were apologetic about the wait time. Food was worth the wait. read more

Disappointed with our experience here. The diner has a fun western theme, but the food fell flat and the atmosphere in not one i like to be at. My order arrived lukewarm, and the taste was pretty bad as the pancakes tasted like burnt oil. Service was slow, even though it wasn't very busy, and our server seemed uninterested. Portions were decent, but the quality just didn't match the price. We had higher hopes, but sadly, we won't be returning. read more

Typical diner atmosphere & menu, frequently visit for breakfast, under new ownership, hate to say it, but, you can screw up breakfastWife ordered special, 2 scrambled, hash browns & bacon. Toast was soggy & under toasted, asked for soft scrambled & got hard minced eggs, hash browns soggy not even cooked. Not there normal fare when it comes to cooking... HOPEFULLY next round is back to normal or last visit for us. Service & the girls r always great... read more

We were traveling home from a weekend in Disney and got off the highway to have breakfast at the IHOP in the plaza next door, but their line was out the door. I did quick a search for nearby breakfast places and this one came up. Rodeo Diner is your quintessential diner - great classic breakfast for a great price. Food was tasty and service was friendly. Thank you IHOP for being packed - I think we ended up with something much better at Rodeo Diner. read more

I couldn't even make it out of the restaurant before I started to gag and throw up. Appetizers came out frozen and pretty sure the hamburger meat was spoiled, as it was gray. Left without a meal, but paid $50. I wouldn't give this food to a homeless person or eat here even if it was free. 0/10. read more

Two stars for the friendly service by Jose. The rest of the atmosphere was not good. The food was disappointing. I am amazed that so many people have bad palates. I noticed several regulars because the staff greeted then by name when they arrived. I had the Rodeo Special that consists of 2 eggs-any style, 2 bacon or sausage pattie8s, and 2 pancakes or French toast for $5.89. I added grits for a reasonable upcharge. I was happy that the pancakes are full plate sized, but I noticed right away that they were not very fluffy. The taste was very heavy of flour and they were not completely cooked. I was pleased that they do provide real butter. I think that if you order eggs scrambled with cheese that the cheese should be cooked into the scrambled eggs (as they do at the Waffle House). I am always disappointed when the slice of cheese is just laid atop the eggs (like an afterthought). The sausage was cheap quality and la king a good sausage flavor. The grits were room temperature. Grits need to be served hot. I had mouth all fixed up for a good hot breakfast and I was specifically hankering for some good pancakes. I guess that is what I get for having a cheap meal. Nope, I won't be back. read more

Having previously visited their other location for dinner and dessert we were happy to see there was an additional location located in St. Cloud. We were greeted when we walked in and told we could sit anywhere so we found a booth and said in. Our server Cheryl was very sweet and brought us menus and took our drink orders. The bestie decided to have the eggs and meat special while i chose the egg and cheese sandwich with ham served on a kaiser roll. I sipped my fresh brewed coffee and he his tea while we waited for our orders. I love the relaxed atmosphere and the hometown welcome. This is definitely where the locals go. Before we knew it our meals were served. Everything looked and tasted delicious. The egg was fried perfectly and the roll was so soft. This was a great place to stop, the only thing that may have made it better would have been if I'd ordered the blackberry cobbler... read more

AAA ! New owner! basic diner food but very tasty meals. i prefer the rodeo breakfasts, my wife prefers the club sandwiches , the waffles are better than any other breakfast place I've been to andthey use real butter too! The wait staff and owner are all very friendly and personable. Best of all now they stay open till 8 pm, and you can also have a drink with your meal!. we try to get there at least twice a week and havent been disappointed . will be back read more

If food is good, you can get past outdated decor. However, when I could not get over was allowing a non-service dog into the restaurant and allowed it underneath the table. You would think they would know that it's against health regulations. read more

There is nothing fancy or modern about this diner. Just great home cooked meals and friendly staff who always keeps our coffee mugs full. I like how close it is to Silver Spurs arena! read more

If you seek a classic diner breakfast then here is your place. No frills breakfast at the right price. The staff were kind, courteous, and attentive. Order was up and out in a jiffy. Restaurant was very clean. Rest rooms were very clean as well. Plenty of parking at the one that is in a shopping strip mall. read more

The perfect mom + pop shop for a morning breakfast. We only went in the morning so I can't review the lunch menu but the breakfast is perfect for the price. It wasn't overly greasy like many breakfast stops! It's a little place in a plaza but perfect for a down home cafe in Osceola.The staff was so kind and friendly! It made me feel like I was having breakfast at grandma's house! read more

Rodeo Diner - Two eggs and a meat with home fries and toast (ham) and steak and eggs with hash browns! - Diners Near Me - St. Cloud, Florida

Priced for us, who are retired. But, we started going there years ago. Their breakfast menu is so good! And we always have more food than we can eat, so we split it between us. We like the location in St. Cloud even better than the one on 192, but both are worthy of your trial. Their staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Let me just say that I was skeptical at first but my client insisted that I check this place out and he said that it's worth it. Boy, was he right. My server was sweet and knowledgeable of the menu. She gave me her favorites on what she liked and I ordered chicken and gravy. It was amazing. Almost like I had stepped into Crocker Barrel but more authentic. This place for sure was a little hole in the wall but hole in the wall joints are the best. Every time I visit my brother I always come here for breakfast because it literally beats all the other breakfast places. Hope to see you again. read more

I just made my third at last trip to this diner. I don't know what happened to it. We have been before and loooved it. This time we were charged $13.00 for a bread sub with a few chucks of diced chicken instead of the chicken Philly that I ordered. There was so little chicken on that hogie that the bread, mustard, onions and peppers was all I could taste. I know that the chicken is probably the highest food cost item on that sandwich but one would expect a little bit more when they are paying your prices. We drove from Orlando passing up many other restaurants along the way. Next time we are craving St. Cloud food, this will not be the choice. Good luck. read more

Large menu with large portions, but what is not large is the price. Absolutely recommend this for breakfast lunch and dinner as the menu encompasses a huge variety of items. Haven't found a single thing here I dislike. I highly recommend if you're in the area and want some good comfort food to stop in and give it a try. It will make your lips clap. read more

You know that feeling when eggs, home fries and meats are super delicious to the point where no salt is needed at all? The coffee is excellent. The staff is also wonderfully nice. You'll be glad you came here!! read more

Good food, good service. Always willing to make that extra step to make it the way you like it. Casual, clean, friendly. A favorite of my family, also good for business clients. read more

Located in a strip plaza this place is a gem. Decent food at decent prices. This place doesn't look like much but is one of those "hole in the wall" type places that's well worth the visit. I had the country ham and eggs and everything was cooked to perfection and the service was great. I saw a lot of other breakfast and lunch dishes delivered to other tables as well. Nothing sent back and every customer happy. read more

This looked like a quaint local diner, so I figured I'd give it a try. It was My first, and LAST time, with this place. I ordered breakfast..."2 eggs with country ham". When the waitress placed the food on the table I was absolutely appalled that any "cook" would have the audacity to even consider serving anything this horrible. The "country ham" looked RANCID and was tougher than a piece of leather or rawhide. Perhaps in keeping with the "Country/Western" motif this so-called "ham" was either a slice of horse meat, a leftover piece of leather from a saddle, or a hunk of rawhide. I had everything I could do just to cut a small piece off of it. Against My better judgement I tasted it.....I couldn't even chew it, & it was so SALTY it was literally inedible. I informed the waitress that there was no way I could, or would, eat anything this bad & she brought Me another piece of ham that was actually edible but still nothing to write home about. To add "insult to injury", when I got the bill it has 2 different amounts....either pay one amount in cash, or pay a higher amount if using a debit or credit card! I've never heard of anything so absurd!! So heed My warning. "Caveat Emptor" (Let the Buyer beware!). Skip this joint and go a few miles up rt. 192 to the Koffee Kup restaurant where You'll get a REAL breakfast, & lots of it, for the same $$, with never a disappointment! read more

This is the second time I wrote a review about this place. And I have given this place a very good review . Been to this place many times for breakfast, this morning we went again and had their special: biscuit and gravy with 2 eggs and 2 bacon for less than less 6 dollars. There is nothing fancy about this place. True home made and down to earth food... it was good. However, i hate to say this but when we walked in this place this morning, of course I expected a smell of bacon but instead there was a very disgusting smell of cockroach urine. The service was great all the staff was great but I suggested that we will not be coming back to this place again. read more

Rodeo Diner, where the breakfasts are hearty and filling! It's a "seat yourself" kind of place with local ads on the tables. The omelets are tasty and the kids both enjoyed their waffles- one with strawberries! Our waiter was kind and attentive. We've been here before and will keep coming back. read more

The Philly steak was to die for. Chicken wings you got to try them. The cook here takes a lot pride in his cooking.

Would have given 5 but has weird smell in there and I've been several times Food always great and fast Always kind staff Feels welcoming read more

Went to Rodeo Diner for the first time and absolutely loved it! We were greeted by friendly waitresses who took our order very quickly...it was mid afternoon on a work day so no wait times. We ordered breakfast items and everything was made perfectly and served hot. We asked for extra bacon at no charge. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. There are many choices of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. read more

Rodeo Diner is a great family friendly restaurant. The staff is awesome. The decor gives people things to look at. It's been a while since I have been here.. but, it is a favorite. Their food is all made fresh. I can't eat taters so the fact that they have sweet tater fries is even more impressive! I highly recommend going here to eat when you get a chance. read more

Looks can be deceiving, that's for sure. But in the last month we've been here at least 6 times. The food is fantastic and the waitresses are the sweetest souls. My personal favorite is the chipped beef, or the biscuits and gravy! *IRLO BRONSONN LOCATION* read more

Normally we go to another establishment but we decided to try this out again. The portions are huge. I ordered the 3 egg breakfast. It came with 3 eggs, 4 strips of burnt bacon, toast & hash-browns. My son got the egg sandwich.. the amount of eggs, cheese & bacon to the enormous kaiser roll is as definitely out of balance. They're really nice in there and everyone is extremely friendly but the food isn't up to par for me. read more

With all orders being Take Out right now it is scary that you may get low quality food but Rodeo Diner did not fail to please!! We had the patty melt and a burger with fried onions mushrooms and bacon, and an order of potato skins everything was great!!! Price was decent $30 for 2 burger platters with ff 2 drinks and potato skins We will be back once we can set inside, we have been dining in the car too Much recently read more

New to the area, stopped in yesterday for lunch , around 1130.. was promptly greated by the 3 ladies that were working.. I sat at the "bar" or counter, whichever you prefer to call it.. there were 2 or 3 specials on the board for lunch and a nice menu with a nice variety of options... I went with a cup of chili and a cheeseburger and fries... The cup of chili was huge, it would be a bowl anywhere else.. it was good, it was not hot , spice wise, but had a nice flavor and it had beans in it.. I was pleased.. the burger was big, cooked perfectly, juicey, on a soft Kaiser roll, a really really nice burger... Fries were crinkle cut, crispy, hot.. service throughout the meal was excellent.. I will definitely be back. read more

My wife and I used to eat here about once a month whenever we had to make a delivery to St. Cloud. They must have had a staff change in the kitchen because the food went from pretty good to awful. We used to love their onion rings, but the last time that we ordered them they were tiny, very greasy and just didn't taste the same. The final straw was last weekend when my wife ordered their Chuck Wagon steak. It's usually a ground beef patty covered in brown gravy, but this time it was a previously frozen breaded and fried ground beef patty. My wife cut into it and it was still raw! We told the waitress and she apologized and told her that she would get her another. My wife ate her two side dishes while she waited for her replacement Chuck Wagon steak. When the waitress brought out the replacement, my wife cut into it and IT WAS RAW TOO! At that point, my wife was done. She told the waitress not to bother getting another and the waitress said that she would take it off of our bill. When the bill came, she had taken the Chuck Wagon steak platter off of our bill, but added separate charges for the two sides that came with it! They should have just removed the platter and left it at that. Needless to say, we will never eat there again! read more
