Like many people who brave the line long outside The Puddery, I was inspired to support this business after TikTok food critic Keith Lee enthusiastically gave his stamp of approval. Palate-wise he seems to preference savory over sweet and stated in his review video that The Piuddery's banana pudding is the best dessert he's ever tried. So, with that in mind, it stood out as a must try kind of place.
Regarding the dessert offerings, I thought the varieties of banana pudding were so delicious, but the Oreo Croffle (now named the Keith Lee Croffle) was good but perhaps not quite on the same level. The Strawberry Banana Pudding (5/5) really appealed to me as a strawberry lover, and the regular Banana Pudding (5/5) was also great. The best part of the Oreo Croffle (4/5) is the texture, crunch and presentation. But alas, it is also very sweet, so I decided to split it in half and share it with someone. I think this dessert would benefit from more vanilla, an additional flavor and perhaps incorporating Oreo crumbs into the cream.
On a different note, while I do really appreciate this unique business, I think it would benefit from: better line management, more presence of the owner and employees in front of house, a stronger website and perhaps a system whereby people can order online for more efficient pickup. Sending someone out to speak to the crowd waiting in line was a good move, but a long line could also become a deterrent for some people. Overall, though, I think this is a great business people can get excited about.
