Review of Mongo's Grill St. Cloud

I absolutely LOVE the food. I love that I can customize my order and that I control how much food I get. The price is a TAD high but not too terrible. The one thing that kept my rating from 5 stars is that the wait times in the line are usually VERY long. If it's during peak lunch/dinner hours you can stand in line for upwards of 15-20 minutes holding a heavy bowl of food just waiting to cook it. This is a busy location so it would be amazing if they could get two grills going instead of just one to speed things up.
The other "con" to this place is that MOST TIMES that I eat there I NEVER get a refill on my drink, yet they ask for tips for servers. I get up and get my own food, I pretty much make my own food, and then I don't even get a refill on a $3+ pop/soda?? Why should we tip for that?

Overall though the food is SO GOOD and you have plenty for leftovers (if you do just the one bowl option and stack it high). If you can get there before "the rush" you are gold. Otherwise prepare to wait in line for a while.
