    Carrot cake :)

    Suzette's is probably the best restaurant that you've never visited. That should change. Suzette's is a quiet, modest looking stop off of 169 just south of Jordan, and easily missed as drive between the Cities and Mankato. My recommendation: plan to enjoy a delicious dinner at make plans to stop. Suzette's is a family owned restaurant serving up high quality cuisine with a focus on surf, turf, and exquisite pasta dishes with an European flair. Suzette's owner and chef is Banrith Yong, who has quite the heartbreaking and resilient story of emigrating from Cambodia. It's worth the read on their website, trust me (suzettesrestaurantmn.com). Short story is that he is classically trained and you can tell from the food and presentation. Back to the food... Banrith makes homemade soups and salad dressings and seeks out fresh veggies for his dishes. AND, can't forget to praise the desserts - made in house by their daughter Lena, who owns her own business (Lemon & Von), specializing in crepe cakes. It's not a cheap night out, but it's also not expensive for food of this quality. I find the prices are approachable and good value for the tastes and treats of the meal you'll receive. I've read some of the negative reviews that keeps this from being 5 stars overall. Those reviews frustrate me. No, it's not a glitzy pretentious French restaurant. But this is an emigrant, family owned, heart forward, delish and tasty treasure for the SW metro. We have been patrons for the past few years after finally making a stop... so glad we did! We hope this family business thrives - visit and enjoy on your next dinner out in the SW Metro area!

    Suzette's Mixed Grill

    I was really excited to try this place as all the food looked amazing. I was disappointed that they didn't have any escargot and they haven't had it for quite some time. They should take it off them Menu if they don't have it and don't know when they will be getting it back. I am positive everything is made in house (which is great) every sauce, every dressing, every soup, every everything. I got the mixed grill because I wanted to try a bit of everything. The carrots on my plate were very undercooked and I could tell it was the same for the rest of my party. All of my protein was rather under seasoned, I had to add salt and pepper to everything. The service was spectacular though and the desserts were top notch. Excellent sugar crust on the crème brûlée! I will give this place another try in the future.

    I believe this is the pork chop and medallions so yummy! Been going there for over 10 years. I've never had a bad meal.

    Stuffed  prawns

    Ok-I guess you might be able to consider me a fairly frequent diner or fan of this establishment. My husband and I came tonight With our daughter to celebrate her graduation from Gustavus... and I noticed several other tables of particularly couples celebrating special events. It is like family here and the Suzette owners, family and staff seem to enjoy pleasing and serving their customers that are looking for a nice meal out. We had just that! Ice cold water, chilly beer, ok wine, 2 plates of escargot, salads, 3 of us split the stuffed prawns, and the Cheatobrian. Once again... no room left for desert! Lena our server was perfect. Saw the chef(owner) and wife greeting many locals. Nice to see loyal customers at this special place. I'm sorry I won't have as much of a reason to come to Jordan... but there us always the big yellow candy barn and apples in the fall. Oh... by the way... you can bring your own bottle of wine. I'm sure there is a cork charge.

    What a great surprise! Was out in the country for a great concert at a wine shop in Jordan and decided to stop for dinner The low key, not large place is a hidden gem. Friendly, efficient service. Sparkling clean. Good prices. Perfect sized portions. Price and portion allows for desert!

    Caesar salad
    Mark O.

    I drive between Belle Plaine and Shakopee for work on a daily basis. Finally decided to stop in and give this place a try based on the numerous positive reviews this restaurant has on Yelp. I'm now convinced a bunch of bumpkins are the ones dishing out the four and five star reviews--there's not a chance an establishment like this would survive in the Cities. I ordered the chicken Marsala and the Caesar salad. I also requested iced tea to drink. My waitress told me that she would have to brew hot tea and dump it over ice. That's odd. The Caesar salad is cheaply made--instead of real Parmesan cheese, they sprinkle the Kraft stuff on top of the salad. That's tacky and imparts a far different taste. Their website states they are a "fine dining restaurant". Fine dining restaurants don't prepare salads in this manner. I didn't see any fresh pepper available either, though I didn't ask. The dressing was tasty, but very watery and it soaked the lettuce leaves. At least the lettuce wasn't brown. The chicken Marsala came out with the middle basically raw. The chicken was not edible at all. The middle outside was lightly browned and was about all the cooking that was performed. I had it sent back to the kitchen. It came back partially cooked. I decided not to bother with another send back. When the waitress asked if I wanted a box "to go", I thought she would pick up on the fact the food was no good. She didn't. No compensation for the poor quality of my meal. An employee told me that customers rarely complain and have food sent back. I didn't tell her that people typically don't speak up because they are afraid the food will be doctored. I'll sometimes give a place with good reviews a second try. I can not do that with this place. Avoid the entire BP-Shakopee corridor. I don't know that there's a four star restaurant anywhere along 169.

    Get in your cars and drive a reasonably elevated, although not too illegal of a speed and get to Suzette's ASAP! This hidden gem, well it's not hidden at all, it's on highway 169. Just remember to look at the opposite side of the road from the Worlds Largest Candy Store. This is 1,000% worth including in your day trip! If you live in the cities, make the voyage to Suzette's for a fantastic dinner! The seafood is unmatched. The family who runs this place is genuine and truly talented. It's a bit of a French Vietnamese flavor, - although nothing is Vietnamese, rather the influence of each. My kiddo had the big seafood dish- the most expensive option because it was his birthday and he's just that cool. I had a seafood pasta and while it was good, my kids dish was better. He's learning from the master and out ordering his mother. We also had dessert- unbelievably good. A French puff pastry and cream with fruit, maybe it was called the fruit napoleon and the bread pudding. They had to roll us outta there but it was fantastic. Run- Speed- knock down old ladies and push the children out of your way and get a fantastic dinner at Suzette's! They prefer cash, so come packing with cash and plan to tip BIG. They deserve it. Plus they live in Jordan and this city girl wouldn't survive 24 hours out there, but I sure do appreciate that Suzette's is there to feed us when we come through! Suzette's will not disappoint! And if it does, just know it's you and not them.

    Crab cakes

    Suzette's is one of the most amazing restaurants ever!!!!! I eat at lots of restaurants so I would know. and i know Suzette is one of the best! i am blown away every time I come here. I love it so much. it truly is such a hidden gem, it's locate in Jordan, MN pretty far out there, but it is soo worth the drive! I am inspired by the chef there, his story is amazing. you can read about it on the website, but basically he survived the Cambodian genocide, left Cambodia to become chef in Europe and now opened amazing restaurant in MN! he is the only chef at the restaurant too I love to support local business, especially local minority owned ones!! my family is also SE Asia immigrants so i extra love to support the family at Suzette's! Cute restaurant with delicious menu. they are so friendly here. I LOVE the Beef Wellington!! They dont have it every day, but they often feature it as the weekend special, so call ahead or check their Facebook to see if they have it . But the beef is soo tender, and the red wine sauce is amazing! All the entrees come with choice of soup or salad. and they give you bread rolls here too The crab cakes are good for appetizer! or you can make it a meal. the portobello mushrooms and chicken sausage is yummy Suzette's also has the most INCREDIBLE desserts ever!!!!! you could come here and just eat the desserts. they have so much variety and all of them are so good. the favorite is their Crepe cake, which they rotate the flavor of. I have had the vanilla/strawberry crepe cake and i LOVEd it so much. Creme Brulee is a must here too!! crunchy burnt sugar topping is delicious and fun to crack into. Suzettes is the perfect place for a special occasion or just your regular old Friday night. awesome awesome place i LOVE it! you can even make reservations through their FB page by messaging them if you need to. I worry about what will happen when the chef decides to retire,so you better go enjoy it now while you still can!! yeah!

    Tiramisu

    A beautiful gem in Jordan, MN. We got today's Lamb special. So tender, so delicious. Melt in your mouth. Desserts: Tiramisu and Napoleon fruits (hope I spell it right). The fruits dessert would knock your socks off, so good beyond this world. Heavenly place. If you love European flair, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back.

    Seafood Mix Grill
    Sonja P.

    Always heard about the great food. We went on our wedding anniversary for a special dinner. Had the escargot for an appetizer, Caesar salad, seafood mix grill beef Chateaubriand and for desert fruit Napoleon. Everything was so good. Our server was great. Mask mandate (covid) so could not see her smile but she had a twinkle in her eye. Always checked if we needed anything. It may not be the nicest building but if you want food quality over appearance, this is the place. Not your franchise food you can get anywhere.

    Harry Potter would not be disappointed here!…read more The Ettlin's Cafe was probably one of the cutest spots I've been in a while for its own unique reasons! This cafe is found in a quiet spot in the town of New Prague. The restaurant gives off small town vibes but their special drink flights are spectacular! Now, of course we chose to visit this place for their Harry Potter themed drinks and I am so glad we did. This cafe actually creates 4 themed drink flights! 3 unique coffee flights - Harry Potter, Star Wars, & Peanuts, and 1 boozy Harry Potter themed flight. The presentation of these flights were gorgeous! Each one comes out in a beautiful wooden deco box with different themed Harry Potter stickers on the sides; as well a fun character toy brought to your table - we had both the Sorting Hat and Dobby. The booze flight also arrives with one drink aflame! There is a drink designed per-house. Majority of theme were delicious. The one set on fire did have a bit of an off-putting taste to it due to the flammable component drizzled over top. Besides this, the drinks were very nice. Not a fan of any of the themed flights? Don't worry, they have a regular mimosa flight for muggles as well On to the food. I chose to order the #3 From the Hen (2 eggs, choice of meat, hash browns, and toast). The food was absolutely delicious and extremely filling. Let me put you on one really quick.... The sausage is out of this world, the best I have had in years! I had a moment to sing my praises to the owner and he clued me in that they actually get their breakfast sausage from a local butcher near by! This all makes sense. The sausage was HUGE great flavor, thick and juicy in texture. It reminded me of a true German sausage. I would come back for that breakfast alone! All love to small businesses supporting small businesses! Overall really enjoyed my time here! If you haven't been out to try Ettlin's I might suggest adding it to your list!

    The food was good and the drinks here are top notch! It was a very long wait with a toddler though…read more Took about 45-50 minutes to get our breakfast. Just know if you decide to dine here it could have a bit of a wait since a smaller restaurant. Our favorite part were the drinks. So many fun themed options to pick from.

    I just wrote a review earlier this week, but I feel the need to follow up. So I went back and got…read morethe same Farmers Skillet to-go. It was still amazing! I still recommend getting it over hashbrowns, over-easy eggs, but this time I did hollandaise sauce and that was actually pretty good. I need to make a correction for my previous review because I feel bad. Buckboard does not charge a credit card processing fee. For some reason, I thought that I was charged one earlier in the week. So why is this still four stars? Well...this time the service/staff was less than ideal. When I called to place my order on the phone, the lady sounded very annoyed. Like the entire time I was placing my order - I felt uncomfortable and like I shouldn't be calling. When I got inside the restaurant to pick up my order, I'm 99% sure it was the same lady that took my phone order. She again seemed very annoyed and I felt very uncomfortable for being there. Like I had done something wrong. This time I also wasn't offered any jellies or hot sauce. I didn't feel like I should just ask because...I don't know, maybe those aren't supposed to be given out for free and it was just a nice thing the staff did for me earlier in the week? But I really missed having some strawberry jam with my toast. One thing I love about the toast when you get it to-go, they wrap it in a separately to keep it from getting soggy. I really liked this. Overall, I'm really sorry I made a mistake in my previous review about the credit card processing fee. I wish the service would've been better this time and from other reviews, it seems like it's definitely mixed. I still recommend giving Buckboard a shot, but don't go into a thinking it's going to be the best restaurant in the world. I really appreciate that ownership is looking at reviews!
