Loading Gastrobrunch

Wow Wow Wow. One of the best brunch places I have ever eaten at. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. The vibe is cool and the servers are cool too. We all loved every dish. I had the veggie hash with scrambled eggs. Every flavor burst through and entertained my palate. My wife had the Not Too breakfast, which was enormous. You have to try the candied bacon. It tastes like a protein and a dessert at the same time. This spot was 10 minutes out of my way from Orlando to Miami ... and worth every minute.

This seems to be a hit and miss restaurant. It was busy like today and our food suffered. Let's start with the beverages. I had The honey bear coffee I couldn't finish because it was overly sweet. We had some specialty drinks from the bar that we would gladly order again. The Bread tapas was not something I would order again. The scone and biscuit were both dry but the croissant was good. The spreads - jam, cream cheese butter and herbed butter- were okay.We had the Ultimate Hash, the Spaniflora Hash and the Chicken & Waffles. It seemed that all meals had spent to much time under the warming lamp. The hash melted cheese and potatoes in the hash were dried out as was the chicken. In the sandwich.The restaurant had a large group that ordered approximately the same time we did which probably contributed to the quality or our food. We will go back - I will update when we do.

This was my second visit to Loading.... And will be back!I am giving 4 stars based on the previous experience plus this one, which was an improvement from before. Starting with the previous experience, the food was excellent! Literally the BEST Chicken & Waffles I've ever had! Just perfect, the combination of spicy, sweet, and salty! Crispy chicken and slight crunch to the waffle, not soggy like some. But the service was lacking on that visit. I almost didn't return. Based on food I tried again. This experience was the opposite of the lack of customer service. Our server Anisha (sp?) was super bubbly and knowledgeable. She checked on us at the appropriate times, had good food recommendations, and even came to the table prepared with waters to drink immediately. This time I had the Candied Bacon Benedict and a Winnie the Brew Cold Brew coffee. The Benedict was super tasty, and my only complaint was my poached eggs were overcooked. I can live with that, it happens a lot. We were able to eat outside on the front, and enjoy the wide sidewalks while they were setting up for a street fair. I think that happens every Sunday, but I can't sweat to that! Overall, a great experience! Glad there are these dining options in St. Cloud!

As someone that has come as an out-of-towner (despite growing up here), discovering this place was a delight. I had taken my mom to experience this place as a first time for us both and she's now self-described a regular. The environment is very homey and there's street parking. The food is delicious and beautiful every time. The servers are quick and attentive at all times!

Stepping into Loading Gastrobrunch, you're immediately welcomed by a great rustic feel. The menu is extensive, offering a variety of options. My wife had the "Boring Breakfast," which comes with a choice of either a pancake or a Cini-Bon French Toast - the latter is a must-try! You won't regret it. The grits were amazing, perfectly seasoned with no salt needed; I added butter and cheese for extra flavor. I also had the Breakfast Waffle Tacos, which exceeded my expectations.Our server was on point, attentive and friendly. The only downside was that for some reason management decided to open the front doors, causing the AC to escape and the room to heat up quickly. A few customers, including myself, complained, and the doors were promptly closed. No harm, no foul.Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy some good food or indulge in bottomless mimosas.

While visiting a friend in the area, we decided to explore and discovered Loading Gastrobrunch. I ordered the chicken and waffles with mac and cheese. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions.The mac and cheese with candied bacon was my favorite. The bacon was perfectly candied, and the mac and cheese was possibly the best I've ever had.Our server was friendly and attentive, frequently checking if we needed anything and making us feel welcome.The interior decor was a bit inconsistent, with elements like deflated balloons that seemed out of place. Despite this, it was a great experience, and I recommend checking it out.

Who doesn't love brunch? My bestie and I finally made it here. It was a nice day out so we decided to sit outside. The server came to the table he took drink order. Started with an Arnold Palmer and the Brittle Piggie. The Brittle Piggie is thick cuts of bacon covered with goodness it comes with peanut brittle and sriracha maple syrup (in my option it wasn't necessary because the bacon was good like it was). I had the Ultimate Omelette (bacon, ham, chorizo, sausage, cheddar jack cheese) with a side of gravy. This omelette was packed with flavors and that sausage gravy was so good.

Loading Gastrobrunch stayed open later than 3 pm for a downtown St. Cloud Art & Food festival. This was our favorite stop on the food map we were provided.We ordered the tuna nachos, bacon spinach dip and yuca fries. My friend and I could not get over how much we loved the tuna dish. She ordered a second portion. It is crisp tortilla chips layered with seaweed salad and small cubes of fresh tuna. All this was slathered with two sauces. I got my hot sauce on the side but it was manageable.The yuca fries were hot and fresh and the aioli dipping sauce was tasty. This is a very dense dish as yuca is inherently a fibrous vegetable. I enjoyed this but could not eat that many if I wanted to also get an entree. The spinach bacon dip was supposed to come with naan but it looked like pita triangles to me. I thought this dip was heavy and bland.I definitely want to return for brunch as this quirky restaurant seems to a fun dining room and the kitchen really knows how to deliver innovative dishes.

An absolute knockout that I will be back to as soon as I possibly can. I found out about this restaurant just looking about the place and when I found this, I knew I found a gem. There's no RSVP so unfortunately we just had to walk in and pray to God that it wasn't packed. When we walked in it wasn't we were literally seated in about five minutes. Once we were seated, they definitely asked us for our drinks and before long, they asked us us for our food, which only took about 10 minutes to come out. I ordered the waffle taco and that was absolutely delicious. Creamy mac & cheese, bacon bites, delicious chicken and a delicious sweet chili sauce at the bottom to top it all off. It was heaven as far as tastebuds is concerned. The potatoes were crispy, but soft at the same time. It was everything that I could imagine it to be. My partner had the Mac attack wrap and told me that it was just as delicious as mine. If I had one problem with this restaurant, it's probably the fact that the food from my partner came out a bit luke warm. She was undecided, but she decided to send it back and they remade it. Just as delicious!Outside of that their service, food, and overall attention to detail is what really drew me here and they definitely knocked it out the park for me. I will certainly be back again in the very near future.

We recently tried Loading Gastrobrunch for the first time and enjoyed it! We did have a large group and called ahead of time to ensure they would be able to accommodate us. The restaurant itself is small. They have a few tables outside, and most of their seating inside. What stuck out to me was the large table in the middle of the restaurant that they were able to sit not only larger parties at, but multiple parties at! They had such a wide selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic, coffees and more! A few of us got the honey cold brew coffee which was really good! Their food selections were also plentiful. All food items we had were super tasty, and made to order! We noticed that we didn't just have one server, it was a team effort to take orders and run food out among the staff. Unfortunately this made it hard to get refills on drinks, or ask questions if we had any. The servers were nice, but you could tell they were very short staffed and spread thin. When our group started receiving food, only 4 of the 6 meals came out initially. At first we didn't think much of it since we knew we were a bigger group and it's truly impossible to bring everyone's food out at once. After 10 or so minutes of waiting, one more meal was brought out. Our 6th member still was waiting on their food, but we kept seeing other tables and people around us continuing to get food brought out. Had we not flagged someone down and asked, we don't believe he would have gotten his order since it seemed as though they forgot. Overall the service was okay, but the food made up for it! I would consider coming here again!
