I'm sorry Jason. You really had my hopes up when you were talking about Betty and Earl"s biscuits…read moreon your show but you've proven to me once again that unless you were raised in the South or by a Southern transplant you don't have a clue about baking soda biscuits. A good southern biscuit is hard to find in Minnesota. In my house they are served warm. and soft, usually fresh from the oven. A dab of butter melted inside sets them off perfectly. If a restaurant in Minnesota says it has Biscuits and Gravy I can't resist trying it only to be disappointed over and over again. That being said, KFC and Hardee's both have a good biscuits. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with frozen Pillsberry Grand Buttermilk Biscuits. Not the ones that come in a tube. So why would I go to a bakery in a mall that opens at 11 to get a biscuit? I trusted Jason. He sounded so sincere. Huh! Big mistake, I should have checked out his genealogy. The actual place is in the food court in the Rosedale Mall and the sign says, "Seeet and Savory by Diane" . The first warning was seeing the biscuits on a covered cake tray like you might stack doughnuts. These people are bakers after all not cooks. So, we wait for the lady at the counter to finish helping the person in front of us and then we asked for biscuits and gravy. The lady walks over to the sign and shows us the little sticker they added that says, "Weekend's Only". I was already wondering why anyone would start serving breakfast at 11. While we were trying to figure out if that applied to every item on the board or just the biscuits and gravy another customer got in front of us. We decided to ask for biscuit and egg sandwich's and a cup of coffee. Well, they only make one craft of coffee a day and when it's out it's out. If we wanted coffee we were told we need to go to the Brew and Waffle concession a few feet away. Alright no big deal, but over there no one's behind the counter and I am baffled as to what is going on. It doesn't seem to be self serve but there is a young lady sitting at the counter eating. Finally she gets up and acknowledges me by telling me she's on break but but since I'm there, she'll help me out anyway. She made it very clear that I was inconveniencing her. Well then, put up a closed sign or a "Back at 1pm" sign. Let's just skip on to describing the biscuit sandwich or more precisely the $10 (the sign said $8 I think) biscuit sandwich. The biscuits were big and thick and yellowish in color. I wondered if they added cornmeal to the flour. They had a gritty texture but not as gritty as cornbread. Ok, next time we'll try Betty and Earl's Minneapolis location. And Jason, spend a weekend south of the Mason-Dixon line and learn a little more about biscuits. Damn! I'm so sorry! I forgot to take pictures.

I've had two meals from Betty and Earl's and both are meals I would order again…read more While the plague perpetuates I am only getting curbside takeout, and their system for that works just fine. Ordering from the website is easy; you can opt for curbside delivery, and once your order goes through you get an email with instructions to call them when you arrive. There is a handy little parking circle by the main entrance to Potluck; that area gets plenty of traffic but your call with a friendly B&E's person will ensure that they find your car among the group. I got the biscuits with sausage gravy the first time and the pulled pork open-face biscuit thingie the second. Both were really good. The sausage gravy was a great, meaty brunch item, and the pulled pork was really delicious. Having piles of shredded BBQ pork on top of those thick, freshly-made biscuits was a unique experience. As long as you don't mind getting your fingers a little messy - and if you're eating pulled pork then honestly what do you expect - you just form a pile on one of the biscuits and hold it by the biscuit as you snack it down. There will be leftover meat that you can eat with a fork. I got yummy fresh cookies both times as well, and ended up full and satisfied. One issue I have with the website is that there isn't a description of the entrees, so you don't necessarily know what will come on them and there's no option to request, for instance, "hold the pickles". But that's about it; I really like the food I've gotten here and will keep it coming.

There are also Banh mis and Vietnamese coffee. I liked the almond croissant and the salted caramel Vietnamese coffee. They had great flavor and tasted fresh. The cream puff was decent and not too heavy, and the strawberry croissant was too sweet and heavy for me. The pandan dessert had really good pandan flavor, but the inside was a little too sweet and rich for me. I split it up into a few dessert meals. The owner was really nice and gave a free French bread, which I also liked. It wasn't too thick and it had a nice crisp to the outside. I would come back to try a couple other desserts and get the almond croissant again!

I came back the next day and got a banh mi that was HUGE and delicious. The "House" is about ten bucks and that is a great deal for such a large, stuffed sandwich. They cut it in half and you can absolutely consider splitting it with someone or making two meals of it. Tons of Asian flavors on fresh-baked baguette bread. Absolutely outstanding. I brought home some treats from the pastry display, including an above average vanilla eclair and some macarons, one of which is super big! It's like hamburger sized, look at my picture. All of it really good. The service is very pleasant and upbeat, and it's a cute, homey space. I love this bakery!

It's kind of a mix between monkey bread and a muffin, soft, sticky, and packed with fresh blueberries and blackberries. So good. The blueberry almond croissant is also insane. Flaky, rich, and just done perfectly. Honestly, everything here is top tier. Their quiche is also very good if you're looking for something more savory. The staff is so friendly, and even when there's a line, it moves quickly which makes it easy to grab something without waiting too long. You can also pre-order on their website, which is a great option if you want to make sure you get what you're after. Some of the best pastries you'll find at the market.

I'm currently on a no-meat break, so finding something to order was a bit of a challenge. I went with the potato dish that comes with veggies and cheese. Since I'm not a tomato or mushroom girlie, I had those removed, and honestly, I think that made the plate look a little underwhelming. I would've loved my hash browns to be crispier and the veggies tossed in with them for a more cohesive bite. Now, the pancake? Absolutely amazing. Soft, flavorful, and easily the highlight of my meal. Service was also a plus our server was really kind and attentive, which always makes a difference. Overall, this seems like a great spot, especially if you're not limiting your options like I was. I'll definitely be back to experience the full menu when meat is back on the table.

But eating out is definitely not on the menu (pun fully intended). This is definitely a cafeteria. Do not go here expecting tablecloths and candlelight. The place was clean, the staff friendly and conscientious, and the portions were hearty. And delectable. The only place that may do Kringler slightly better is 30 miles away and hard to get to.
