Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in Minneapolis and St. Paul
Start New ThreadDon't ask me why but I am craving a good, hot popover. Can I make them myself? Sure. But I want to go out and eat one someone else made.
Are they still served anywhere in the city or are they out of fashion?

I know I've encountered some popovers recently, but I cannot remember where. In the meantime, I recall that Axel's in Roseville had them. It's been yonks since I've been there, though so I can't vouch for anything any more. The rest of their food was pretty average, but I always enjoyed the warm popovers. Also, I have a vague recollection of house-made potato chips that weren't bad either. I could be making that last part up.
Good luck on your quest!

So this option is definitely NOT in the city, but the best popovers I've ever had are at The Laurel in New Richmond, WI, hands down. Roughly 45 minutes east of St. Paul. Old school supperclub, popovers served at the beginning of the meal. Of course served with fantastic honey butter.....salivating....yum.

Yes! That is the place I'm thinking of. I would have never come up with that in a million years if you hadn't posted it.

Is the Little Oven Italian? I'm trying to picture popovers with Italian food.
What do they serve them with?

The Little Oven is the Little Oven. Yes it has pizza and pasta but it has other things as well. Certainly not a fancy place but a great value. If you pick the right night you might get the steak dinner for eight bucks or so.
Its a great budget option if you are in the neighborhood but leave the visa/mc/amex at home. They like good old fashioned paper money there.

As dalewest put it very well, the Little Oven is it's own thing, rules do not apply. The popovers come with the entrees, maybe just with the steak entrees? I've never had them though they look good. I always get a pasta dish when we go.

Yeah - I'm not sure whether drew was referring to downtown St. Paul or Mpls, but I was going to chime in about the River Room in the Downtown St. Paul Macy's because that's the only popover place I know of. Seriously great popovers.

The Brothers Deli in the skyway (Downtown Minneapolis) has outstanding popovers that it serves with its chicken soup and borscht. The Minneapolis Club downtown also has excellent popovers served at lunch.
