5 cookies togo baked fresh
Anh T.

This place is near my eye clinic. After my eye appt I stopped here for the freshly baked cookies. Only 0.75 each. I feel like the cookies have gotten really small lol but they are still as delicious. Some of them are more cheery than others. I like the semi chewy more soft.

I enjoy this buffet because they have so much salad items. I also really appreciate the fresh fruit. They label GF items which is very helpful. The place is clean and affordable.

Fruit at dessert bar

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).

This location is blocks away from my job as well as close to home. I recently looked over the menu and found that they offered quite a few non seafood options that sounded good enough for me. The menu at this location is a bit different than the others. They have some daily specials, HH and even some seasonal dishes. I went with the Tennessee Hot Chicken sandwich and my mom got the Crispy Lemon Chicken. The sandwich was good, wasn't as spicy as I hoped it would be but still good. 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. I got a raspberry lemon drop martini and it was a bit watered down tasting but I'd definitely go back and try some other options. Our server was really nice and attentive. Made the experience overall great. Generally a nice space/atmosphere.

We were seated right away. They have TV on for sports and it can be quite loud (as expected) We did not expect it to be as loud since we had a baby with us. Bring headphones if you have a baby. Service was fast. Our server checked on us many times to make sure we were taken care of. Great service. To the point that I just finished my plate and he instantly took the plate away as well. lol Food all tasted good. Zucchini fries is soft in the inside and a little crispy on the outside. I wish it was crispier. Brussels sprout was good but a little burnt. Fish is crispy and good. The burger was good as well. Price is reasonable. Definitely worth going but just mind the loud ambient

Bacon Jam burger is known to be a crowd favorite and it delivered. A great cheese and smoke combination complement the burger in a way that just works. Ok the real winner here is that you can sub your fries with one of many sides and the one must try are the Brussels sprouts caramelized and drizzled with a balsamic these are just perfectly executed. And so reasonably priced Northstar Tavern does check all the boxes.

Our server, Hope, was beyond amazing. She put on a masterclass of hospitality and genuine friendliness. She's also an admirer of nice watches, (wink). The beef stroganoff was the best we've experienced with the homemade noodles and succulent beef tips. The prime rib was equally impressive with an insanely flavorful outer crust and tender, buttery meat with each bite. The interior was like going through Narnia's closet. Leaving the noise and bustle of the Mall of America, into an atmosphere of warmth and aesthetics offering visual comfort that set the tone, not to mention the pleasant aroma of sumptuous food that hits you as soon as you cross the threshold.

Looks like they have happy hour daily as well as daily specials like wings $3 off on Thursday's, Tuesday is bingo night - chicken tenders and fries for ~$13. The menu had a decent offering of options ranging from bar food to pasta. Something for everyone. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, which was sauced to the max. The buffalo sauce is made in house according to the menu. It had a good flavor, a tad bit sweet and not really spicy but good flavor overall. The amount of sauce did make it a bit messy to eat. I love that the fries were crispy. My friend ordered a burger and requested the cheese be swapped for Swiss and it came out with cheddar, they did quickly fix it. We sat at a booth near the bar and it had its own tv, playing sports which is cool. It was a bit cold, not always a bad problem. The staff were nice and attentive. I'd go back to try pasta and also for bingo night.
