    Fruit at dessert bar
    Lily D.

    The buffet bars are constantly being wiped down, there is ample parking, and the building is surrounded by windows for natural light. It is a great location to take a walk after full bellies. Theres lots of different options - salad bar, hot bar, soup bar, dessert bar with plenty of choices like fresh fruit cut, jello, pudding, and soft serve. The cookies and pizza are closer to the ovens. Pro tip- you can ask for a baked potato. All the staff is friendly and they come around often to collect your finished plates.

    Big fan! I LOVE salad bars and they had everything you could of asked for for a salad! Very tasty and fresh. The space is cute and lots of good seating. The staff was friendly and kept tables cleaned. Marking off a star because the warm food and soups were just okay. Pricing is reasonable. I'll be back for the salad!!

    I thought I would give Q Cumbersome a try as it seemed to be a healthier option. Well I would have been better off eating the grass outside. The food was not very flavorful and the hot was not. Very sad as I was hoping it would be better. The plus is the team that cleared the tables was fast and very nice.

    Q Cucumbers is a very nice buffet style restaurant - 4 stars. I just went to Cucumbers for the first time. I had a family member who was discharged from Southdale hospital after 2 days of fasting. Obviously, he was famished and he requested Cucumbers buffet before driving home since he was extremely hungry. I felt a little stupid though. I consider myself a foodie but I can't believe they've been around for over 30 years and I've never visited. DECOR: The first thing I noticed is the restaurant is unique and quite beautiful. They have a stand-alone building in the Galleria area. The design is, basically, a big circle, like a giant circus tent. The walls are all glass and a big portion of the roof is glass. So the entire restaurant is very bright, cheery, and light colored. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The second thing I noticed was the excellent customer service. The people at the host stand were great. And the woman who bussed our table was excellent. I also chatted with a couple other staff. All of them had outstanding customer service skills. CLEANLINESS: I checked out the entire restaurant and the restrooms before we left. The cleanliness appears to be excellent at Cucumbers. FOOD: Cucumbers is definitely a step up from other buffets I've tried out through the years. Everything is bright, fresh, well stocked, and well organized. They also have a bakery that makes many of their own pastries, bread, and pizza. And all of the soups are made in-house. Very impressive for a buffet! If you arrive for dinner M thru F, Saturday, or Sunday brunch, you'll have many more yummy food selections. LOW CARBOHYDRATE: I was pretty disappointed trying to eat low-carb, keto, carnovore style at Cucumbers. Of course, I'm not a dummy so I suspected this was the case. I mean the name is Cucumbers, right? Duh! But it was worse than I thought. For lunch, the only meats on offer were pulled pork, baked chicken legs, and a pork carnitas thing that I skipped because I suspected seed oils and other possible offending ingredients in the sauce. If you're carnivore, make sure you only visit for dinner or on a weekend to get beef, eggs, and some other animal product offerings. You'll do a lot better with the Cucumbers menu if you're keto. Of course, this is the perfect place to eat if you're a vegan or vegetarian. All-in-all, I wouldn't go back again because of my restrictive diet unless it was Sunday Brunch. But if you're a regular Standard American Diet eater or a vegetarian, you should really love Cucumbers. -Maxx

    Salad bar fixings
    Michael C.

    Overall this place is pretty good! LOVED the huge salad bar. So many fresh and healthy options. The hot bar's quality was a little poor, but still pretty good. Some of the fruit was a little hard and cut too large (same with tomatoes). The staff was really great with clearing plates quickly and keeping the serving areas stocked and clean. My main three complaints are that they absolutely need to put out more napkins. I shouldn't have to ask for extras at a buffet. Also, although it was nice to see the place being cleaned, some of the staff who were cleaning were a little rude and would sometimes clean right where I was, making me move instead of just waiting until I was finished. My last complaint is that they really lack in the baked goods/dessert area. The only baked good they had was chocolate chip cookies. If you didn't like that, hopefully you like ice cream because that's the only other dessert option! I like both, so I was happy (and the ice cream bar had a good amount of fixings).

    The hot selections were not hot. The soup was bland. The salad bar was lackluster. The table service was ok. Removed the plates quickly.

It started getting busy around 10:30-11:00 on a Saturday. Prices are average, service is great. My friends loved their meal, I liked mine. I ordered the prime rib hash and it had great chunks of beef and two perfectly poached eggs. However I felt that it was a little too greasy for me. Thank goodness that I asked for the hollandaise sauce on the side, otherwise with the grease, it would have been way too rich. Some parts of the beef were chewy and some gristle. One friend ordered the strawberry French toast and it was HUGE! They were generous with the whipped cream too. Another friend ordered the roasted vegetable omelette that came with a side of hash browns and toast. They enjoyed it but it was on the smaller size. It's a large restaurant with plenty bar seating and clean restrooms. There's a shared small parking lot with the hotel but there's also a parking ramp too. It's right across the street from the MOA.

I upgraded chips to cajun fries and those were good. The Crispy Lemon chicken was okay to me, my mom enjoyed it but didn't like the mashed potatoes it came with. She said they were too lumpy. We also shared a crab cake - still too fishy for me lol, but my mom liked it.
