Today was my first time at a Sweet tomatoes and I had heard its a fantastic place to eat for vegetarians and those who love to eat healthy. The salad bar section has an extensive choice of fresh vegetables, types of lettuce, dressings and toppings. I definitely enjoyed the pear, walnut, Gorgonzola salad option. The soup bar was a bit dissapointing. The pozole pork soup look the most promising but didnt have much flavor. The three times that I checked and noticed that it was refilled I found that there wasnt any actual pork in the soup. The shrimp bisque was watery and lacked flavor as well as. The pasta bar also lacked pasta for the vast majority of the 2 hours that my roommate and I leisurely ate our lunch but when I managed to snag some Mac and cheese I noticed it was your standard type but hot and tasty. The little mini pizza squares were okay (garlic cheese was the best of the two I tried). The staff here was very friendly and helpful! I would like to give this place another try because of the healthy food options and good service. Hopefully, there will be more food options and flavor will be more consistent across different dishes offered when I visit next time.

Sweet Tomatoes is a solid restaurant and one of the places I almost always stop by when I visit Florida. I went on a Monday afternoon and it was somewhat empty. The premade salads looked a little sad like they had been sitting out for a while but everything was well stocked. I grabbed some chili after the salad which is always good and hearty. I generally pass by the potato bar and add some cheese and onions to it. I feel like they used to have a focaccia with no cheese on it but I didnt see any, the bbq chicken focaccia looked better than it tasted. The dessert is always my favorite part, they have everything to make yourself a little ice cream sundae. The restaurant was very clean and the employees were friendly. If you want to feel disgusted with yourself theres some cheap Chinese buffets nearby but I personally enjoy Sweet Tomatoes more. The food is good quality and the price is reasonable at ~$10.

What a lucky find this was. I stumbled across it while looking for a quick bite to eat. Most all you can eat restaurants Ive been to have crap food, a crap atmosphere, and unwelcoming service. Sweet Tomatoes couldnt be any further from this. Being vegetarian, Im very particular with my food requirements. The food is all fresh, well presented displays present it nicely, and most important of all it tastes nice. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. A high turn over of food ensures that nothing sits out on the shelf for very long before being snapped up by a hungry patron. There is a huge variety of salads, soups, pizzas, pastas, and desserts. Paying an extra $2 for all you can drink is a no brainer. The Strawberry Lemonade is especially nice. For just over $12 per person all you can eat and drink it really is an absolute bargain. Ill be back again. Highly recommended!

A superb experience. The food was plentiful and fresh, the facility was clean and inviting and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. This salad buffet is the best in Orlando. An eat as much as you like restaurant has a tremendous salad bar as well as pizzas, baked potatoes, soups, desserts and fruit. My son resists salad but never goes away from Sweet Tomatoes hungry. If you search online you can always get a coupon which makes the already competitive price even better. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant to you. In response the the fact that they clear your table if you are away from it - what nonsense. You have a card that says you will be back and if you display it then your food is not touched. Also, this is an all you can eat facility - if your food disappeared you can go and get more. When we have guest in Orlando we take them here to eat.

I always enjoy the Sweet Tomatoes Salad Buffet. One of my favorite things is two grab two plates and load one up with the pre-made salads and then create my own salad extravaganza! The cashier was extremely friendly and noticed that my Mom may have needed help with her tray due to her use of a walker which she politely declined. Everything was delicious. The lemon specials were quite tasty and the soup selections were nice. The one let down was that our table wasnt being bused like it normally is. We met our "server/buser" after we first sat down and that was one of the only times we saw her and the restaurant really wasnt busy even for noon on a Sunday. I will go back because I feel like I get my moneys worth and the food is delicious and I will update my review at that point. :)

I eat at this location often, driving past a closer one in the process. The quality and cleanliness are top notch, but the helpfulness of the staff is really what sets it above all others. Ive been there when it was quiet, and Ive been there when it was crazy busy. At all times the staff was friendly and doing everything they could to keep us and every customer happy. I have been to four local Sweet Tomatoes, and many others on the west coast. Lake Buena Vista is the one I hold up as an example to my frinds and family that visit here as the cream (soup) of the crop (of veggies). Kudos!

This Sweet Tomatoes is one of the busier locations in the area probably due to the tourists from Disney. That being said, it is to the benefit of all dining here because the turnover rate is so high; making the salad bar very fresh and the soup and hot foods piping hot. Like all Sweet Tomatoes and Souplantation locations they have your usual mixed salads as well as build your own salad toppings. Soups, muffins/breads, and pizza make up the rest. And not to forget the small assortment of deserts and soft serve. Make sure to bring a coupon to cut the costs.

There are always coupons if you sign up for them. We went on a 30% off coupon and paid 23.15 for a healthy buffet for 2 adults and a child. Not bad at all. The food was great! They have options for everyone. My children are vegetarian and we dont eat pork, so we live that everything is labeled. Many different salads at the front. And the cheese bread and pastas are great. The server wasnt really on point to take our plates like at other locations, but that wasnt such a big deal for us. Overall, a great experience!

Since you enter to the restaurant you feel the sweet environment, the food is fresh and the price is amazing and is a buffet so you can eat all what you want. They have organic salads, pizzas, soups, muffins and a delcious ice cream, i strongly recommmend this place is healthy and delicious and if you join the veg club at their webpage you can find coupons for discounts! What could be more fabulous!? PS: The crew is simply amazing u will love them!

Yay, 55-feet of salad and veggie goodness mixed with freshly baked bread, cookies, soups, pastas and seasonal specials. This is the best value $9 lunch in town for the salad bar stocked with the more expensive salad items that other chains neglect. You can build something different every time and keep revisiting the buffet until youre full. I wish we had more of these in Texas - Id be here every day. You cant beat the food here.
