Jordie's Trailside Cafe

Loved the experience and the small town friendliness. The buffet food was good and a variety of options. Definitely will stop again.

We've been hearing about this place for a couple of years now from our Lake neighbors. Was a little bit of a rainy morning so I had to wait for the lawn to dry before I could mow it so we decided now is the time to check it out.
It was much cooler than it was described to us. Because they're located on a bike trail there was a lot of bike themes in the decorations. We were surprised about the outside dining it was fantastic. The landscaping decorations the gazebo or whatever you want to call it or you could eat or you could eat outside in the open air was really cool.
We decided on the Sunday morning breakfast buffet. Food tasted home cooked and fantastic. If you eat outside you need to use paper plates which makes sense cuz there for a lot of opportunities with the landscaping for a dropped plate to shatter.
I recommend.

The staff were very kind, the food was really good I enjoyed the basket I got and the prices were fair! My friend got a hoodie too and she loves it :D !!

Located directly across the street from the Soo Line ATV Trail, sits this lovely place! Wow and beautiful! The only words to explain it! The food is wonderful and well worth the drive. I wish I lived closer to eat here more! We go out of or way for their Sunday breakfast buffet. It's about a hour drive but WORTH IT! The food just gets better every time! The staff is great, the outside eating and garden area are amazing. The seating inside is like eating at home! Very cozy and comfortable.
Jordie and Sonya do an amazing job!
Take the time!!!! And save room for the pie!!

We stopped for a late lunch today and we’re very pleased with everything! Very fun and friendly staff. I love the small town atmosphere, the decor, the music, and that it is unlike any other diner I’ve been to. Definitely a place I’d like to stop again! The food was also Incredible!! The “skinny” fries were delicious and fun to eat!😁. Highly recommend it!

My lil slice of bike heaven: biking along the Soo Line Trail, parched and sore-then finding this spot along the trail! Enjoyed pie and ice cream in the shaded garden! I loved all the charm and hospitality and quietness of this oasis!

With this special "Lutefisk - Scandahuvian day meal" we met and enjoyed eating with fine folks we'd never met before. It was truly a joy and blessing as part of the pre-Christmas season. Merry Christmas and Happy 2024!!!

Quaint little Cafe with amazing home cooking and generous servings. Friendly staff. I will definitely be going back.

Great food and service. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating in a whimsically landscaped garden. Try to save room for dessert as they are well known for their pies.

Beyond expectations for this off the beaten path place. The onion rings are huge as is every sandwich on the menu.
The outdoor area is filled with great landscaping and ponds.
I thought the coffee was delicious as well.

Hidden gem of Bowlus! Food is excellent and the grounds feel like a fairy tale. Many options for outdoor seating. And conveniently located right by a park and the great River bike trail.

We were so thrilled with the food and service. Jordy and her assistant were incredibly helpful. Mary Parent

Jordie’s catered a family event and everyone loved it! The croissants with chicken salad were delicious. Jordie was fantastic to work with too.

Fun and interesting place to stop for a bite to eat. We stopped for lunch today and had good home style food at very reasonable prices, I had the all you can eat Fish Fry for $8.99. It looked like 2 orders were being delivered when my wife's sandwich, Philly and onion rings, came out. We will definitely be going back, even though it is really "off the beaten track"!

Great location especially if you're coming in off the bicycle trail. Great home-cooked food with a relaxed, nostalgic feel inside. Amazing garden area seating that is absolutely spectacular to sit and take it all in. A real gem!!

This is a charming small town cafe. The inside is old time fun. But it is the outside garden and eating area that is the huge attraction. Someone with an imaginative, creative mind put together one of the more intriguing gardens I have seen. The food items are reasonably priced. We have had sandwiches and ice cream. Both were good. They also offer fun art/craft items that make a house a home. A triple win, comfort food, decor, and peaceful garden. There is also a playground across the street if energetic children need to burn some energy.

Wonderful evening with friends. Jordie sat down for a few minutes, more delightful conversation ensued.

Had Sunday brunch. good food. friendly staff.

Super cute trailside cafe. The caramel apple crisp was delicious!

A uniquely decorated place with an extensive list of well-prepared recipes that blow you away.
