    Deep dish with pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives
    Shellie K.

    Great atmosphere and awesome pizza! Thank you to our fantastic server, Shannon Love having the best Chicago deep dish here in Minneapolis

    Fried calamari
    Tuyen P.

    Went here to get the hubby's deep dish craving satisfied. There was no wait but you can make a reservation online. First, if you plan on getting a deep dish, it is typically at least 45 mins to get it going. So don't come expecting to get it within 15 minutes. Of course you can order appetizers and other stuff on the side. It was decently busy and not enough server. We got seated but took about another 5 minutes before our server could come to our table. We knew the deep dish would take a long time so we wanted to order that right away before looking at other items. Calamari - it was not crispy so a little disappointed. Came with the typical marinara sauce. 3/5 Salad- normal type of salad. Nothing special but is a good side for a pizza. Parmesan fries- crispy, hot and yummy. Recommend especially if you have kids with. Margherita- well cooked and good. It balanced our meat and more meat deep dish. Not over cooked Meat&more meat- with a meat lover hubby, of course ww have to order a meaty pizza. We got the 14" to share for 4 people amongst other food. After 1 piece I was deep dished out. I'm not a big fan of deep dish but hubby loved it. Overall, except the first 5 mins, our server was awesome. Checked in on us often after. Food overall was good minus the calamari. Could be crispier?

    Very nice small Greek salad

    I stopped in for lunch and ordered a side salad and personal Deep Dish pizza. The salad was to tide me over for the time it takes the deep dish to bake. The Greek salad was excellent. Great dressing too. I really like their deep dish. Always order garlic on your pizza as it really makes it special. Service was friendly and efficient.

    Appetizer combo
    Alyana S.

    When it comes to deep dish pizza I always think of Giordanos! I love their deep dish even though it takes 30-40 minutes to make. We decided to get the appetizer combo and the triangle deep fried mozzarella was amazing with the sauce! Plus those chicken nuggets was delicious too with the ranch! We got the Chicago Classic with mushroom, green peppers, and marinara sauce! It was very cheesy and the crust was one I'll definitely eat. Our server was quick and prompt! It was quiet for a Monday but it's a wonderful place for big groups! There's plenty of light inside and lots of seating area!

    Yum!!! Thick Crispy flaky crust, awesome cheese pulls, flavorful sauce covering the top with pepperoni and crunchy green peppers!! Great dinner spot! Our server was so friendly and personable and it was a nice quiet Monday evening dinner. Thanks for a great meal!! I love seeing the pizza on the raised pizza stand!!

    Indoor vibes!

    I love this pizza place. It's open, there's always a place to sit, they have a small outdoor patio and the service has always been good. A true Chicago pizza place is about the crust and this crust is good. Order their deep dish right away as it will take 40 or so minutes to cook if your in a hurry. I order their cheese bread which is good but they tend to overcook it a little so ask for it not to bo overcooked. Their salads are good and hearty. So get one while your pizza cooks. Once your pizza arrives, you are transported to Chicago as they put that first slice in your plate with the cheese dripping off the pie giving you a true deep dish! Side note: I grade my bathrooms as a 5 Star Bougie (clean, pleasant, smells great, picked up, in order), 3 Star Basic (like home with the basics and equally as clean) or 1 star Bad (filthy, paper towels on the floor, sink is disgusting, smells like a toilet, etc) ... this gets a 1 star Bad! I will be back but they have a few things to work on!

    Spaghetti with House-Made Meat Sauce, Bolognese  - Family Platter (Serves 2 or More) and B.Y.O. Deep Dish Cheese (6" Personal)

    We went to eat here on Mother's Day. My wife absolutely loves the deep dish pizza. I had the spaghetti with meat sauce and it too was incredible. Our server took care of us very well and we were very satisfied.

    This is the worst pizza we've ever had. Way worse than frozen pizzas. We waited almost an hour for the crappy thing. Never again!

    Horribly slow service, an hour plus wait for our pizzas, then they weren't fully cooked. I would avoid this place if you can.

    Our family has been to Q Cumbers many times over the last few years…read more The buffet has a nice range of options of food, drinks, desserts. The quality of food is usually decent, some of the items can be a little dry sometimes. The service is usually pretty nice and friendly.

    I'm rating Q Cumbers 3/5 because, overall, I felt like it was just average. The staff was nice and…read morefriendly, and our French-speaking waitress was very kind. But there is definitely room for improvement. We went for lunch on a Monday. It was busier than I expected, but not overwhelming. My understanding is that they have fewer hot items at lunch compared to dinner. That said, most of the buffet was salad options. There were lots of dressings and toppings, which is great if you love salads and want to mix and match. But for me, I like meat and hot items, so I was disappointed by the lack of those options. The majority of the buffet space really is just for salads. I do wish the staff had asked if we had dined there before. We had not, so it was a little confusing. For example, we didn't know they had trays, so we just grabbed plates until we noticed everyone else carrying trays around. I also wasn't sure if I was supposed to get a new tray each trip or reuse the same one, so I just brought my old one back up. We also didn't know if we were supposed to wait for a waiter or waitress to greet us before going up to the buffet. We just got up, and our waitress introduced herself while we were awkwardly walking toward the buffet. Again, she was very nice. The process was just unclear for first-timers. As for the food itself, most of what I had was either just okay or not something I really loved. There were a few great items, though. The Adobo Chicken for tacos was delicious. The cookies were great too. They tasted like the old Subway cookies, which I mean as a big compliment. The Chicken Teriyaki was also good. The ambiance is really nice. There are windows EVERYWHERE! The place seemed pretty clean, which is especially important for a buffet. The bathrooms are outdated, but fine. The ice cream was good, and I liked that they had hot fudge available. The soups, pizza, a pasta I had, breadsticks, and several other items I tried were just not great. A lot of it felt like something I could make better at home. And for the cost, I feel like I could get something better somewhere else. It was about $20 per person for lunch, which isn't terrible, but also isn't great for what was offered. One thing that confused us (yet again) was tipping. You pay beforehand, and there does not seem to be an option to tip the waitress with a card. We also weren't really waited on much (it's a buffet, so you do most of the "work"), but she did get us waters and cleared our plates, so we left a few dollars in cash. If we hadn't had cash on us, we would not have been able to leave anything. Maybe they don't expect people to tip, but again, it was just another confusing part of the experience. One thing I appreciated was that they had gloves available to use when dishing up food. That was nice, especially if you are concerned about germs or contamination. Overall, I would not seek this place out again. We probably won't be back unless someone in our friend or family group really wants to try it. If I did go back, I would probably only go for dinner and hope there are more hot options and tastier items. Who is this place for? I think it is geared more toward families and groups. It could be a good option if you have picky eaters or if everyone wants something different.

We were impressed by the new, "earthy" look of the restaurant. The menu had many appealing choices. The gluten-free items were clearly marked and although the lactose-free items were not marked, there were plenty to choose from. Our waitress was one of the best we have ever had. She was friendly, gave us great recommendations and information, kept my bottomless cup of tea full, and was very prompt throughout. We ordered salmon and told her we were going to split the meal and she brought an extra plate. The tea and soup were both tasty and hot...just like I like them. The broccoli steamed was steamed to tender perfection. The ceiling had acoustic tile so noise from other diners never disturbed our conversation. If there was background music, it was so soft I did not notice it. There was frequently a line for the two, unisex bathrooms, which were clean but perhaps a little worn. Good Earth® has returned to our list of places to eat and I highly recommend you give it a try.
