good earth

great w/ food intolerances. i ate at good earth in roseville and have a long list of foods i cannoteatwhich make eating out extreamly challenging. the manager and the chef came up with a few different items that i couldeatand the chef personally recomended the salmon w/ mango salsa. he thought the salsa might have an ingredient in there that i couldn't have so made a variation from scratch. it tasted amazing and i have never been helped with the quality of service i recieved at good earth. i will definetally be going back there!!!

good earth - roseville, mn: great food, great service. our party of 8 had a great experience on a saturday evening at good earth! our reservation made via urbanspoon meant we were promptly seated. our server was friendly and knowledgeable, and our food came in a very timely manner. as non-red meat eaters, we were happy for the variety of veggie, chicken and turkey options on the menu. each of us enjoyed the appetizers and dinner we ordered, and the restaurant's atmosphere allowed for conversation with everyone in our group. we would definitelyeatthere again!

the good earth roseville was never great, but passable. they are one of those restaurants that try and use the words healthy and organic synonymously, which is misleading at best. i ordered food tonight for pickup, because i had a decent meal there through the week. unfortunately, not only was the order wrong, it was wrong due to extreme negligence. not only were my dietary restrictions ignored, but potato chips and bacon were haphazardly tossed on top of my order. ieatneither meat nor potato chips. when i called and spoke with the person in charge, alex, he told me that the meal usually comes with a side and there must have been a miscommunication. a miscommunication implies that there was some communication to begin with. i ordered a meatless meal, wasn't offered sides, and as a result, picked up a mess of a useless meal. although alex says he comped me for the errors, that's not the best solution. the best solution is hiring competent people in the first place. while i completely understand that customer service is often a difficult job, having committed leadership with strong interpersonal skills makes a tremendous difference. i won't be back and suggest the same for everyone. go to a place with staff invested in their products and customers, versus a place invested in defending their mistakes

it’s been a while since i went to good earth (in roseville, second location in edina), even though i love it there. you see, before i went off gluten, i couldn’t digest lots of fruits and veg, including spinach, broccoli, apples, basil (ok, any dark leafy green), oranges, and tons more.  and since pretty much everything at good earth, being a place with a focus on whole foods, had something i couldn’t digest, we just quit going. well, lucky me, doc finally helped me see that it wasn’t the veg at all . . . it was the gluten.  and within two months of going off of it, i couldeatthose foods again. that means i can go to good earth and enjoy a gluten free menu this long!: wowsas! that’salotta options!  (don’t worry, i took better somewhat pics of each of the sections – check ‘em out at the bottom of the posts) i had the bison burger with gf multigrain bread (which, as always, got a little soggy. when will i learn?). yummers. it came with terra chips. a nice touch is that they even brough

the good earth café is a nice rotation from the perpetual steak-knife-and-buns bender of my life, and the prices are reasonable (the just right was $11), but i wouldn't frequent good earth or drag my friends there. they serve beer, but i wouldn’t drink one there. they serve dinner, but i wouldn’teatone there. this is a great mid-day refuge from your inboxes and meetings, and it looks like a lot of people know that. i may not see where else good earth could fit into my life, but they’ll be seeing me again at lunchtime before long.

everytime weeatat good earth we love what we get. monthly specials are always good. everything fresh and well prepared and beautifully presented!
