Is The Best Salad Bar In Minnesota Just An Hour Away?

It's a craving that I get maybe a few times a year, but when I get it, I have to satisfy that urge. I'm talking about having a GREAT salad. Not a big salad, taco salad, or Caesar, but a salad filled with fresh vegetables, amazing lettuce, and a fresh vinaigrette. Luckily, this time of year, it's not hard to find fresh locally grown vegetables and lettuce, but once we reach the winter months, it can be tough. I just heard of a place in Minnesota that people are claiming has the BEST salad bar, and it's about an hour from St. Cloud.

Jackie C wrote: 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!!

Summer G wrote: ..."Lots of choices - from soup to salad to a hot bar and even desert section. All at a very affordable price. Will definitely be back here again soon and especially appreciated the owner working right alongside the staff. He also checked my husband and I in at the cashier desk and seated us. Nothing like seeing ownership doing the non-manager and entry level jobs."

Ronald C wrote: "Q Cumbers kinda feels like visiting grandma at the home and going to lunch with her at the included buffet. It's a pretty good sized salad bar, but definitely not the best I've seen. They also have a hot bar of different foods depending on the day you go..."
