All the elements of fine dining: Excellent food, good service. We had gator bites (actual alligator, imported from a Florida farm), beef brisket (very tender – excellent), green fried tomatoes, fried okra, and corn and potatoes, finished up with peach cobbler topped with a scoop of ice cream. The highlights were the brisket and gator bites plus the various sauces that came with the dish or already on the table (a hot “Texan”, a medium “Memphis”, and a mild “Minnesotan” [“for your Norwegian grandmother,” said the restaurant owner]). There’s a nice diner atmosphere with farm-inspired ornamentation. For our generous 3-course meal, we paid about $20/plate.

Finally came here and glad we did. We got the catfish nuggets for an appetizer and they were delicious. Kids got fried shrimp basket and chicken strip basket which they both devoured. I got the jambalaya with baked beans and dirty rice. It was fantastic. The jambalaya had a nice spicy flavor, the dirty was very flavorful, and the baked beans had a great smoky taste. Will definitely be back again soon!

The Misplaced Magnolia is a cute restaurant, the food is good and the waitresses were very nice. The sweet tea was awesome! I thought I ordered the beef brisket but was brought the pulled pork which was really good so I just ate it. My son got the gator bites and he wasn’t crazy about the cornmeal coating but I thought they were good. The onion rings were slightly salty but they also had a nice spice to them. The fried okra was good. The macaroni and cheese seems to be made with real cheddar cheese. The free corn muffins are very good, great corn flavor and had good ground corn texture and not super sweet. The sauces were all very different, but each were good. If I lived around Kasson, I could eat here probably once a week.

The atmosphere was wonderful. The service was great. I had the fried zucchini and squash as well as the corn fritters appetizers. The portions were plentiful for my party of 5. The country fried steak and fried okra, meal was delicious and portions were big enough I took some home as well.

A hidden gem for anyone who finds it! This restaurant is probably the best BBQ in the greater Rochester area, topping even John Hardy’s and Roscoe’s. They’ve got an impressively large menu, with my wife ordering smokehouse tacos and me ordering beef brisket. Both were deliciously tender and cooked perfectly. The sides of fried pickles, corn muffins, onion rings, corn fritters, and dirty rice were all excellent as well.

What a unexpected find! This Southern themed restaurant in small town Minnesota is quite delightful. Great menu, great food, great people. My family and I enjoyed our corn bread, sides, and entrees were very nice. I had ribs which were moist and tasty.

I just love this place! The food is always good. Some gluten free options are available. I really enjoy the unique menu items; fried green tomatoes, corn fritters, muffaletta, as well as the staple favorites of jambalaya, BBQ meats, Cole slaw, beans… And the list goes on.
The atmosphere is very country with the wood floor and high ceiling. Colors and wall decor are perfect.

Very impressive, little small town restaurant! Very good food and very friendly people!
Order the Gator Bites definitely! The waitress even brought homemade cornbread to the table. Very innovative also! Texmex cornbread, Sweet Cornbread, and Regular cornbread. Very good!
I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

It was very refreshing to find a small town restaurant serving authentic southern food. We started with the friends green tomatoes and fried alligator bites, the sampler for dinner, and the peach cobbler for dinner. The food was amazing with the following exceptions:
The potato salad was sub par. Just basic and nothing special. It was out of place among the rest if their food.
The smoked wings were too dry. Maybe just an over cooked batch.
The waitresses we’re amazing, helpful, and friendly. We will definitely come back.
