We always have a good meal and experience at Sweet Tomatoes. This time was no exception. I had a coupon for 20% off, but was surprised to leard that they had a senior menu special for $8.99 with beverage, so we took advantage. The salad bar was very clean and the food presentation very nice. A couple of items that are worthy of note - the Apple Cranberry Cobbler was fantastic and the ice cream machine provided very firm ice cream instead of the usual thin and soft. We highly recommend this location of Sweet Tomatoes.

For around $10-15, the food here isn't too bad. It isn't anything super high quality, but if you're very hungry, you can definitely put away your money's worth. From salad to soups, pizzas, deserts, cornbread and muffins, there truly are many options to fulfill your buffet desires and expectations. All-you-can-eat always offers an entertaining atmosphere, especially with some friends. The restaurant is kid- and family-friendly, and if you have a coupon to discount the entrance fee I'd say it's worth it every once in a while, but you get tired of the place very quick as the food options don't have much variety during short spans of time.

The salad bar was fresh and had a nice variety of salads, toppings, and dressings. The broccoli salad was fabulous! There were many soups to choose from and all were delicious. Three pastas were offered along with a couple of pizzas and there was fruit, ice cream (chocolate and vanilla with toppings), and creamy chocolate mousse for dessert. This was a reasonably priced buffet. We enjoyed this restaurant so much that we went to another one the following night. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

This place is still a great salad lunch spot. After many years there is still Fresh salads, soups, pastas & homemade muffins as well as nice deserts. The place was clean and the the food was fine. There is plenty of parking and the staff was very friendly.

A somewhat older version of this wonderful soup and salad bar. It’s possible that this is the original restaurant from which the franchise was based. Either way, it has been around for over a decade, and, in a way, it shows. For example, instead of two salad buffet lines, there’s only one. And there’s a bit more congestion around the soup stations than comfortable. When we went (two times in two days), I nearly ran into other customers going to and from soups, pasta, and drinks more times than I dare mention. As for the soups, this month’s selection was not too shabby. I particularly enjoyed the cream of cauliflower and black bean soups. Slightly disappointing, however, the spicy sausage and kale soup wasn’t very spicy, and the food per liquid ratio was massively skewed against solids. In contrast, the onion soup was better than expected albeit salty, and the cream of mushroom was also yummy though too creamy for my taste and nowhere near as delicate and mushroom intense as the one I make at home. Using the online coupon for under $10 per person made this a great deal. There were plenty of folks who seemed to be pigging out for the week – stocking up on as much pasta, breads, potatoes, salad, soup, and ice-cream as their stomachs could support before exploding. Cherry Wonderdog prefers not to undergo such abdominal discomfort to save a buck, and was content eating just enough of the good stuff for a great weekend luncheon

Took friends for an evening meal. The salad fixings were crisp and fresh. Our friends liked it and the 11 year old who sat with us said she would rate it a 9 out of ten! She said the only reason she gave it a 9 was because the ice cream comes were too small! That's a child for you.

Excellent, fresh salad fixings galore. Many soups. A couple of pasta dishes, including Mac 'n cheese. Several bakery items, including brownies, muffins and a gluten free muffin. Soft serve chocolate and/or vanilla ice cream. It was all good, but the salads and ice cream were the best.

Sweet Tomatoes is great for veggie salad bar (there is not meat options for your salad), with tons or choices. Everything is fresh and frequently stocked. They have many salads, baked items, a potato bar and rotating hot pasta options. The desserts are ok, not the most flavorful, and the ice cream is rather bland. But we come for the sala6and souls, so that's not a big deal for us.

I really wish this chain was in Ohio where I live! The salad bar had anything you could possibly want and it was all fresh. The soups and breads were delicious. They had a good selection of desserts along with soft serve ice cream.
