The other day at gymnastics, the teacher asked all the kids about their favorite restaurants. Every kid said McDonalds - until mine. They both answered Souper Salad. It is a less fancy sweet tomatoes, and their soups are not nearly as good, but the price is unbeatable. They have regular coupons and on Wednesdays, kids eat for $2.
The salad bar is pretty good and even has options that Sweet Tomatoes does not (like cottage cheese). The salad bar is always clean and stocked. The staff is always polite, friendly and remove our dishes promptly.
The pizza runs out often but lately it has been replaced very timely (my daughter loves their pizza). They also sometimes have steamed broccoli with cheese, which is great for getting kids to eat vegetables.
For dessert, they offer pound cake and strawberries for strawberry shortcake topped with soft serve ice cream. For $6 (the average coupon price), you walk out of there very full, content and with happy kids.
