Breakfast pita and pancake
Paige B.

Food was delicious and service was great! This lil local joint is frequented by locals and passersby has a homey feel and a welcoming place for military and law enforcement. I had the breakfast pita and a side pancake which was huge and delicious! Unfortunately, I missed the 11am grit cut off time so I didn't get a chance to try them. The food was in large portions and super tasty! The drinks are also really huge! I liked this place and would definitely come back. Prices are good too!

Bacon/Egg/Sausage breakfast.

June 27, 2025: Breakfast with Ed. This was a pretty good breakfast. It was the 2x eggs, bacon, sausage & hash browns ($9.99). Everything was good (bacon had to be sent back to make it crispy) & very tasty as well. The hash browns were under cooked to my taste. Our server "Patti M" was very funny & quick whited. The service was fast. Super casual diner & ambiance but decent food & price. It's a do-over if I ever get here again.

CLASSIC Classic dinner vibes The cup dinner has been a staple to this community for more than 30 years. After few owners. The spirit of what this place brings to their guest remains. Great food. Amazing hospitality. Generous people. When you think about a place to take your family and kids for a good and affordable meal without hustling or doubting. The cup dinner is the place to go. Their menu includes all day breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have a meal of the day on special that varies. Our go to meal has to be the destiny's hot mess. Don't sleep on the SAUSAGE LINKS THE BURGER OMELET is a gem. Try it.

If I'm ever in the area, I'd definitely visit The Cup Diner again! Tasty, hot and fresh home cooked food. No fuss, just simple and delicious! I ordered a Reuben sandwich and it was so good. The French fries weren't the best, so next time I'd order with potato chips. My husband's pancake breakfast did not disappoint either. I don't normally like breakfast sausage, but this one was juicy and quality. The pancakes tasted like box vanilla cake! Maybe others wouldn't like that, but we loved it! My only real complaints are: the table was not cleaned when we were sat, the not so good fries, & the coffee was horrible-- watered down and no flavor. Hopefully next time I can have a good cup of coffee at The CUP diner lol.

The Cup omelet with sour dough toast and hash browns

Tasty, traditional American dining in a cozy setting. The Cup was a local diner we tried on our latest adventure to Florida, and it didn't disappoint! Our party tried several of the omelets and a stack of pancakes; everything came out hot and fresh. My only critiques are that it's pretty cramped inside (our party of three were a little cramped in our booth) and all of the food needed a good shake of salt. The tables were clean and the staff was friendly! Pro tip: don't be turned off by a longer line, they turn those tables over fast!

The liver and onions with fried okra and mash potatoes with brown gravy.

The only issues i can say we had were the booths were so low and it was freezing. The food was great. A lot of food for the price. The pancakes could have tasted a bit better.

The hot syrup was very nice touch. Had to get a slice of pie to go cause we're so full. Def get the pie though they are very good. Overall i would def recommend this place over an ihop.

On 10/13/26 we stopped for breakfast. Our server was a young man named Joseph. He was amazing. He arrived at our table with a very pleasant personality. Our conversation was more than a food order...we were more than a customer who could give him a good tip. We were worthy of a general conversation. What did we talk about??? The best zero sugar soda. We simply loved this kid. He checked on us several times and when we left to pay, he came over said good-bye and thanked us for visiting. Thank you Joseph for a GREAT experience and the service!!!

Everything was really flavorful, filling, and worth trying. My only small complaint with the food is that you can't mix and match the tacos, which would be nice since they have some fun options. The restaurant itself has a bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and a very nice modern style. The staff was friendly and seemed to be trying their best to keep up with how busy and hectic the restaurant gets. I took off a star because the air conditioning is definitely an issue, which made the experience less enjoyable, especially in this Florida heat. This isn't my first time here, and every visit seems to come with a wait. They also seem to be short-staffed most of the time, so service can feel a little stretched. I would say it's on the pricey side, but the food is worth it in the end. With better staffing and some cooling in the dining area, the overall experience would match the quality of the food so much better. With that being said, I'll definitely be back, but probably on a day when it's nice and cool!

We've been coming to Rodeo Diner since we…read moremoved 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.

Warm, tasty, and great portion sizes. The family was raving about the food days after eating. The cheese curds are well made, as were the hush puppies.

We also ordered a guava cheesecake for dessert and I cannot emphasize just how delicious it was. Whoever's making these desserts is just as talented as the cooks making the food at Jimmy Bear's.

We happen to stumble upon Jimmy Bears BBQ and are glad we had the opportunity to try it! We came on a Friday night around 6pm, expecting the restaurant to be packed but as we walked in we quickly realized we were the only patrons there. During our time there we never saw anyone else come in either. We ordered our food to-go, and it came out relatively quickly! We felt the price was on par with similar restaurants, and very fair for the amount of food you received The food itself was overall decent. There were some items that we really enjoyed, like the Mac and cheese, three blind mice sandwich, and the Alabama white sauce!! Other items like the green beans or pulled brisket left us wanting more. The green beans did not taste fresh, and the brisket lacked seasoning/flavor. There were also a lot of fried elements like the tater tots, onion rings or even the mozzarella sticks on the three blind mice sandwich, which we feel like were all decent and not too greasy, but also know those are easy things to make regardless of where you're at! The staff was very friendly at the restaurant! They were available if we had questions, and got our food out quickly to us. The ambiance of the restaurant was a little out of date and worn. You could definitely tell this establishment/building has been here for awhile with little to no updates over the years. A few updates to the space I think would really transform it and make it look like it belongs in 2023 not 1993. We do see ourselves coming back in the future, as we saw a few other menu items we are curious about trying!
