Its hard for me to imagine a buffet thats more delightful to eat at. So we get here and we have an emailed coupon with us that brings the price of dinner down to $10.00 each. We only thought it was going to work on one of us. We thought wrong! The salad section that comes first is really neat. It has a few pre-made salads for you that all taste nice, and then theres a section where you can build you own. This is where I shine. Its not up to par with what Ruby Tuesday or Sonnys has to offer, but its got all the basics. So many types of dressings to choose from, whether you like a nice vinaigrette or something more goopy and solid. They also have a ton of crunchy add-ons. I love for crunchy add-ons. Then, you get to the main buffet line. They have a bunch of soups. The noodles in their chicken noodle soup are so thick and chewy that theyre more dumplings, which I love. They have a nice chili and a couple of good chowders. Right next to that, there are just hunks of crispy bread for you to dip in your stew, like youre in a Game of Thrones novel. There is a section to build your own baked potato or sweet potato. Nice. There is a pasta section where you can choose from lemon penne and asparagus, mac and cheese, or the winner, in my opinion, their spaghetti and meatballs. I got seconds, and I never get seconds at a buffet. As for desserts, it is currently lemon season, so they had a lemon lava cake that was to die for, and lemon muffins that were gluten free. I know that gluten free stuff can occasionally be terrible, but these were the opposite of terrible. These were amazing. I suggest sneaking one or two out in your pockets to re-live the wonder later. They also have a fresh fruit section and a soft serve ice cream machine. I didnt venture here. I got stuffed. So, overall, I had a great time here. All their stuff is healthier than most buffet offerings, and their aim is that all their stuff is made with more natural or organic ingredients overall, which is a nice touch.I will come back here every time they send us a coupon. Every time. Also, if you check in here on Yelp, they will give you a 15% off reward on your app.

Ive always been a fan of Sweet Tomatoes, but theyve gotten even better over the last few years. There are so many choices and varieties of options from classics like a soda, caesar salad, cornbread and chicken noodle soup to acai berry juice, Asian noodle salad, Indian lentil soup and a fruit-infused bran muffin. Not only is everything well-stocked and very fresh, but there are so many ethnic and unusual flavors and varieties to choose from as well. Im a vegetarian and I typically hate it when people say "Oh you can just get the salad" or "But they have a salad bar" because typically all Id have to look forward to is day old romaine mix, a few other questionable vegetables, many right-from-the-tub casseroles and salads (like potato salad and pasta salads, many of which contain meat and animal products anyway) and the choice of ranch or Italian. But Sweet Tomatoes proves that a salad bar can be a delicious, fresh and well-rounded dining experience!

Weve been coming here for three years. The service has gone downhill over time. Last weekend we came 20 minutes before breakfast ended. We were met by a rude cashier, who insisted on charging us lunch prices. We informed her of the time. She pretended that the restaurant recently changed the time of the meals, thus, we would have to pay full price. We told her we had a coupon on our phone and would be happy to pay lunch prices because with the coupon, it would be the same as breakfast price. As we looked for it, she began to have an attitude and finally gave us the right price. The staff near the pasta/bread stations are constantly on texting on their phones while wearing the gloves they use to prepare food in. The food is fairly good, but for a serve-yourself restaurant, the service on the whole is lacking. We will definitely no longer be eating here as often.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place!!! This is only about my third time visiting here. I thought the I-Drive location was my favorite but not anymore, lol. This location is on the eastside of town, away from all the tourists. Since Ive been sitting here eating/chillin for almost an hour, Ive seen several of the staff displaying excellent customer service. They not only check on you from time to time, but they carry on what seem to be VERY genuine conversations with customers. My second favorite (I-Drive) NEVER checks on you.until they see youre getting ready to leave, then they come to check on you (hoping to get a tip. Whateva!) Also, it isnt loud in here. Thats the best part of it. I give the managers a thumbs up for choosing such a wonderful staff. I WILL be back, even tho I live way on the other end of town.

I came here with a large group of family and friends and the Sweet Tomatoes staff were very friendly. The part that made me the most happy with their service was the way the manager handled my wifes allergy requests. My wife cannot have any grains or legumes so eating out for us is a huge hassle. It is usually very frustrating, however the manager was very helpful and was able to share with us the ingredients of all their food products. When he found out my wife was not able to have any of the lemonades because of the corn syrup in them, he PERSONALLY made her a lemonade from scratch. I recommend them to all my friends and I plan on frequenting their business many more times in the future. Thank you Sweet Tomatoes!

I love this chain, although this is the only location Ive ever been to. The plaza its in looks sketchy, but inside the restaurant is very nice. They have the best soup and fresh salad. Everything is consistently fresh each time we come. They change up their dishes a few times a month so that you have new things to try every time you go, which is great. If you sign up for their email, you get good coupons which I recommend using because $12 for dinner buffet is a bit steep for a place thats 90% just soup, bread and salad.

i do appreciate sweet tomatoes but am very disappointed with the choice of soups we pay for we are vegan and health conscious but there soups are loaded with omega 6 bad oil you can not find ever a no fat free soup or a fat free ice cream or fat free yogurt choice it is all loaded with fat add that to the non organic veggies you have to be scared eating there. also no non fat pastas either. People that go there are on a diet to lose weight and are health conscious but have no fat free soups or deserts to choose from.

Employees and Managers dont seem to mind when people reuse dirty plates and parents allowing children to grab and touch multiple plates, spoons, and bowls. Thats so not ok or sanitary. Nothing can guarantee that those situations wont happen, but crying out load, at least pay attention and stop people and inform them of sanitary procedures. I dont think I can ever eat here again since this is the 3rd strike. Food is good if you dont mind your food and dishes being touched by dirty kids hands and adults dirty plates.
