    Not Your Grandmama's Biscuits and Gravy
    Ann F.

    Today I tried the Not Your Grandmama's Biscuits and Gravy with eggs over easy. I've been to Jule's multiple times for lunch, but this was my first breakfast experience here, and as usual, Jule's Bistro did not disappoint!! The biscuits were fluffy and delicious, the gravy savory and perfect, the eggs perfect, and served with a side of fruit, but not the typical boring melon and grapes, but rather a delightful assortment of berries, pineapple, kiwi, and grapes. So good!! Highly recommend Jules for any meal. Waitress was great, and the vibe is always cool and vibey , let's make vibey a thing with Jules as the role model.

    Biscuits and gravy, delicious!

    Great location downtown. We came early Sunday morning before the rush and had great coffee and breakfast. The fall coffee menu was nice, lattes were delicious. My wife had a classic breakfast while I tried the biscuits and gravy. The sausage gravy was delicious, the biscuit was a great base. A little more dense buttermilk layer and disnt get soggy. Sometimes biscuits are too much fill and this was perfect to enjoy the sausage and gravy.

    GF chocolate cake

    *CELIAC, GLUTEN FREE REVIEW so many choices! this place appears to be very knowledgeable about how to handle allergies. We got the teriyaki bowl and the southwest salad. Of course we had to get the GF chocolate cake - so rich, moist, and delicious! The day we went they had a mint frosting. Be cautious with the teriyaki sauce, I made the mistake of dumping it all in before tasting!

    Window-side bar in Jules' Bistro (perfect spot to read a book).

    Upon entering, I was swiftly met by a lovely young waitress who offered me either table or bar. I opted for the high-set wooden bar leaning against street-side window pains. Cars passed and pedestrians streamed by, maybe on their way back to work after, hopefully, tasty lunches and a restful break. Jules is a charming little bistro foregrounded on St. Cloud's main street and backed by First and Second Street South, two roads that mitigate the flood of traffic leaving SCSU. Sunlight meets the corner of the building and stops short of "setting the place on fire" with natural light, leaving room for hand-blown chandeliers and warm spotlights to brush Jules with a soft glow. There are drawings, paintings, and intricate bouquets of greenery decorating the walls, complimenting a soft green that breaths through the city's stark browns. Internally, Jules is lively, and a perfect setting to eat, yap, and take a deep breath. I ordered the BBQ Beef Brisket panini with a side of Sweet Chicken sopa, which comes with kettle chips and a spear pickle. The panini wasn't what I expected. Having graduated from Kansas' honorary school of amateur BBQ, I was looking for a rich, peppery flavor from the brisket, complimented by a sauce that leans into either sweet of tangy. What I received was a BBQ sauce panini with chunks of beef brisket shoved in. Safe to say, the panini didn't meat expectations, but the sourdough bread retained its crunchiness without expending its soft inner layer and aged bite - coming very close to mom's homemade loaves. The chips were chips, and my distaste for pickles shielded me from trying this one, but having known pickle-lovers, it looked delightful. Juicy and dusted in leftover kettle chip crumbs, I can imagine it was tasty. My personal favorite from Jules' Bistro was the Sweet Chicken sopa - a delightfully twisted chicken noodle soup served with yet another piece of toasted sourdough bread. The sopa noodles were texturally divine, chewy, flavorful, and easily collected with a spoon. With shredded chicken, peas, carrots, bay leaves, and a hint of tarragon, you can make an exceptional soup. But what makes Jules' Bistro stand out is the usage of Mexican sopa noodles and a touch of lime that adds, not a bite, but a bounce to the stock that keeps the pallet on its toes. It's safe to say - sopa must remain on the Jules' Bistro menu. All-in-all, Jules' Bistro is a commendable addition to the American ring of hand-crafted soul food restaurants, and is worth a step off the interstate. Perfect for a budget friendly date night, casual lunch break, or quick pitstop on your road-trippin', wayfarin' journey across the great state of Minnesota!

    My $20 sandwich. It only had avocado mushrooms and sauerkraut.  I opted not to pay even more for vegan cheese
    B K.

    Food was fine, nothing special. Prices were very expensive. I have both a dairy and gluten allergy and to have GF bread was an additional $3 and for vegan cheese it was another $2.50. $5.50 on an already $17 sandwich is kinda crazy. It would have been over $30 for a flatbread with GF and vegan cheese. Our whole meal was just over $60 and that's with only 1 person being GF. All we got was 2 sandwiches and a soup and salad combo. If the food was over the top or was larger portions maybe it would be worth it but this just wasn't. There wasn't a lot of dairy and GF options. And they couldn't substitute things out. So for the teriyaki stir fry they couldn't remove the onions. Also the paper copy menu said smashed avocados but it was actually guacamole. As someone who doesn't like onions that wasn't great either. All in all I won't be back.

    Rise & Shine Wrap with ham, bell peppers, Kalamata olives, and feta.

    Hands down the best craft pizza in town. This could sell in NYC. It's a good wood fired thin crust with a variety of topping options.

    Anton's... Suddenly, after exploring St. Cloud, MN--a city…read morethat isn't particularly charming but where you can stroll around and see a few sights--you wander about and suddenly step into a place that I'd call enchanted if it weren't for the fact that there are no fairies or elves. It's home to the beautiful, calm, and peaceful Sauk River. Geese, ducks, ducklings, and a garden to enjoy the view of the river. Inside, there's a warm, welcoming, and hospitable atmosphere. Jaclin is very friendly and professional. The family had a great time, and the geese were happy since we gave them some snacks. Among other things, as a chef, I recommend the Spam skewers--yes, Spam--and the BBQ ribs, which are fantastic. Good selection of drinks, and behind the bar, very skilled hands. Until next time...

    Overall good experience! We went later on a Wednesday night and there were more than enough tables…read moreopen to get seated right away! The popover was the star of the show with its giant size and a delish honey butter paired with it. The moonshine sirloin was flavorful and I definitely would get it again. The duck breast was not my favorite and honestly, I was expecting more for the price and after it was talked up to be a favorite. But overall I'd love to come again in the summer when the weather is nice and I can see the river!
