Baja bowl
Lindsay R.

Finally tried this place out in October and loved it! We got their famous Jordan smashtown burger which was super juicy and delicious with a touch of rosemary. Then we got the Baja steak bowl. The toppings were fresh and the steak was done exactly how I like it, medium rare. The ambiance was great and the service was excellent. I'd like to go back in the summer to sit on their amazing lit patio at night.

There was plenty of parking and we had reservations, so no wait for our table. There is a wide variety of food choices from pasta to burgers to sandwiches. It's loud inside, but that was okay for us. The food was good. Would recommend for families

We made a trek down to Jordan MN, from the northern suburbs to try the super club. I made a reservation for 4 and then our group grew to 9 and the Jordan Tap Room was helpful and pleasant in accommodating the change, I called almost three hours in advance of our 4:45pm reservation. The food was delicious with the standouts being the prime rib special and the horseradish sauce side - melted in my mouth - yum! We shared appetizers of the cheese curds, the goat cheese toast, and Brussel sprouts with honey sriracha and bacon. All were hits around the table. One person tried the chicken wild rice and it was nicely seasoned and thick and creamy. A few of us ordered other items such as the Shrimp risotto, crab stuffed salmon, and sirloin. Each was raved about with the consensus that we all wanted to come back again the food was so good. Being there on Saturday, there was a musician playing live music which we enjoyed and was an unexpected perk. We wrapped up our meal with the carrot cake, a cookie skillet, and a grasshopper - super tasty.

Fish Tacos

We sat at the bar. Regular Margarita and Spicy Mango Margarita were delish! Steak Tacos and Fish Tacos were so tasty! Highly recommend!

Located midway between Minneapolis and Mankato right off the freeway. Interesting, on the other side about less than a mile down is the Minnesota largest candy store! For being in the middle of nowhere-ish, this place was packed on a Saturday night. Of course it was the Minnesota State University at Mankato graduation day as well. If you're on the way to Mankato and is hungry definitely stop by. We had a reservation at 6 but came late at 630 due to graduation and traffic. With a party of 8, they were able to get us seated by 7. Food came out within i would say a reasonable about of time given that it was busy and we had 8 people. They do wait for all the entrees to come out together. Their slushee machine was down so couldn't get the pina colada or sangria slushee (bummer). So decided to get the spritzer which was pretty good. Baby Back Ribs - definitely looks better than the black ribs on the website lol. The portion is definitely worth the price. I substituted for sweet potato fries instead of regular fries (I think there's an extra charge). It was good and meat fell off the bones easily. Ribeye - portion was also good for the buck. Juicy and typical for its price here. Brisket platter- brisket was a little over cooked and somewhat burnt at the ends that made it extra dry. Not the best dish tonight. Walleye- crispy looking (didn't actually have a taste of this dish) but also presentable. Overall, it's a nice restaurant that if I ever make my way to the candy store or down to Mankato I would stop by here. Price is reasonable for the portion. Service was fast. By the time we sat down to done eating it was about 1 hour. We came here to celebrate a new graduate. Was a little disappointed they didn't offer anything special for the graduate though especially after spending quite a lot to celebrate here.

Daily Specials

Local eatery off Hwy 169 south of Jordan, MN. Spacious casual dining room with big stone fireplace and central bar zone. Happy hour from 3 to 6. We arrived at 5:30 and the dining room was filling up by 6:00. We started with squeaky deep fried cheese curds that come with a yummy unique blueberry BBQ "ketchup". I had the BBQ Brisket Platter that came with a generous amount of tender brisket - a mix of solid meat and some fat (if you like that). Also comes with potato salad, coleslaw, and steak fries. My wife had Pretzel coated Chicken that was very flavorful. It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. So filling - no room for desert. Service was prompt, attentive and friendly.

The supper club may be gone but the local eatery remains at Jordan! Finally made my way to the southwest metro to check out Jordan's for dinner. The food was good but their espresso martini is what left the impression. Even without a reservation, they were able to seat us after about 20 minutes of waiting. The vibe is essence of a cowboy meet up meets swanky bar.

Bar area

Service was very good and very attentive and everyone said goodbye as we were leaving! Food was great as well, I ordered Alfredo and was nothing to write home about but others at the table enjoyed their food way more than me! Brisket grilled cheese is the way to go! Patio was still open in September but space was open and bright with lots of natural light! Will be back again!! Also if the the squash pasta comes back on the menu it is definitely worth trying!!

While running around in the area we stopped in for lunch. It was a nice surprise. We found the…read morerestaurant to be clean with basic decorations. It does have a welcoming small town feel. Our server was really friendly and got our drinks quickly. Our food also came shortly after we ordered. It was really good! It all tasted fresh made. If ever in the area again we will be sure to stop in!

Many reviews are meant to applaud the food and service of a restaurant. Others to simply discourage…read moreand dismiss the hard work of owners and staff. This review is an honest, constructive critique to help a restaurant improve, and I hope Lindsey's BBQ hears it well, because according to reviews here and on other platforms, food changes are desperately needed. The service and servers were truly friendly and relatively attentive. Food was delivered much faster than expected. The atmosphere and setting are comfortable and mostly align with the expected style of a BBQ joint, though they've gone a bit crazy with the pull tabs. It's a solid place for family or a Saturday night with friends. This is where we hit a wall. The food was unfortunate, to say the least. The main issue is that their meats aren't smoked. Not in the slightest. Oven-baked brisket and "burnt" ends. Their original sauce is quite good once cooked and slightly caramelized, however, it's also served cold, which is a grave mistake. You can tell they assume the liquid smoke in the sauce alone will make up for the fact that they're not smoking or even charring their meats. It doesn't. NEVER serve this sauce as a side. We started with the nachos and brisket. Upon tasting, we were confused because the supposed brisket had the taste and texture of a shoulder roast cooked in water. We next had a half-pound of brisket and a pound of burnt ends--same issue. At least we were sure it was brisket by the cut, but it was by far the worst we've ever had. Gamey (fecal), fatty, and completely bland. This is the most substandard, cheap beef I've ever experienced. Had they at least seasoned it properly, that would have been something. The burnt ends weren't exactly burnt. They were more seared in a high degree oven, drying them out slightly without giving them any sense of char. Again, zero smoke. High fat, zero bone or gristle, significantly meaty. Had they been true burnt ends, they would have been quite good. The sauce was great, but the improper cooking method destroyed any desire to finish our plates. The coleslaw was 6 out of 10. It was fairly flat and needed more tang, potentially a little more vinegar, sugar, celery seed, and lemon. The macaroni and cheese was the only hit. Despite other reviews, ours came out creamy and pleasant. Cornbread was okay, also 6 out of 10. Nachos come in at about the same rating. The demise of most restaurants is generally the same. Food quality gets cut, cleanliness is overlooked, and service becomes complacent. They hit the first death knell long ago, and I imagine they suffer for it because you can see where they've overcompensated in other areas to increase profitability. Menu prices for anything on the platters are scrimping on sides and outlandishly high when compared to the likes of Old Southern BBQ, Wing King, Famous Dave's, Dickey's, or John Hardy's. Lindsey's, if you take away anything out of what I'm saying, for the love of barbecue, PLEASE SMOKE YOUR MEAT. There is nothing barbecue about your restaurant. Make some changes and invite me back. I'd be glad to rewrite my review.

This was my first time coming here and my cousins told me this place was just remodeled. It looked…read moreclean and fancy! There was more seating than it looked from the front. I was told that they only had burgers and that I wouldn't be able to find something here (since I don't eat beef/ pork)... I DID! They had a chicken or a fish sandwich. I had the chicken sandwich. Prices are reasonable and I was told they now make their buns from scratch!! They tasted fresh! Was it my favorite grilled chicken sandwich ever? No, but I was so happy they had one! I love love love the pickles on the counters and tables for you to add to your burgers. I am a pickle lover and yes, I added pickles to my chicken sandwich! Also, Get onion rings!!! I am still fantasizing about them! So crispy and seasoned to perfection. Drooling right now. Overall, they are a well oiled machine. We were in there after a funeral and only 2 people working. We were able to get served and one cooked everything. My family is large and we packed the place. They did amazing! Thanks again for the chicken sandwich, the pickles and the amazing onion rings!!! Oh yes... and 1919 rootbeer on tap! Win! You can also get a Heggie's, but with their burgers... get one or two of those instead!

If you are looking for a local, "dive" type bar with cold beer and a pretty tasty, cheap burger,…read moreSparetime is a pretty safe bet. I specifically made a visit after reading some reviews on their burger. This simple bar burger comes on a nice soft bun and topped with melty cheese. The bar top and tables throughout all have bins of pickles to add, which is think is awesome. The burger was decent but for the ridiculously cheap price it was excellent. The crinkle fries were perfectly fried. This burger would be a show stopper if they didn't use a frozen patty. It is a small town, local bar and they are keeping cost down and I appreciate that. I don't know if it makes sense to charge a buck or two more and use fresh ground??? I really enjoyed the space and the feel of the bar. The staff were friendly considering I was an out of towner.
