| - After grueling day of work, I needed food fast. I didn't have time to wait and so my goal was to find a nearby buffet with moderately healthy food? What's healthier than raw salad? I can't think of anything...
So after convincing my husband, we arrive at the Sweet Tomatoes confused as can be. I see a check-in special offering 15% off, which was an added bonus to attending a nearly meatless restaurant. I walk in on the entrance by the salad bar, unsure of what to do next. A few minutes later an employee says I can just grab a plate and create a salad and then I can go pay at the cash register at the end of the salad bar.
After the employee gives his spiel, a customer helping himself to buffet seconds chimes in. He said "Oh this place is great; you can keep coming back as much as you want. There is even pizza, soups, and desert in the back." By pizza, he meant focaccia bread, but it's all the same to me.
After the introduction, I grab a plate. Actually I grab about 5 plates before I find one clean enough for me to feel comfortable eating off of. My husband got lucky and got a clean one his first try.
We each grab one plate and fill it to our hearts content. Beats, broccoli, corn, quinoa, premade salads, nuts, and cheese all make a place on my plate. The ingredients looked fresh and this was one of the first times I was excited to eat a salad. I get to the cash register to pay and tell the cashier about the check-in special. To my disappointment, she reveals that the coupon is fake and unauthorized by the company. However, she gave me a 10% senior's discount, which was way cool.
After munching down my first incredible customized salad, I needed to go explore the other options. That's when I got 3 soups, 3 amazing soups jam packed with flavor. Sirracha Carrot was tasty pureed carrots with the right amount of heat. Potato and Leak was kept simple, just like it was meant to be. My favorite soup, Albondigas Locas, has got me committed to coming back. This soup was tangy as if it has lemon in it, with rice and chicken meatballs.
As I write this review, I cannot help but salivate. After completing my soup sampling, I was full. I didn't feel like I needed to keep going back for more to get my money's worth because dinner was only $11.99 + tax (minus my discount). So I passed on their cookie bar dessert and self-serve ice-cream.
The next day, I decided to hop online and join Club Veg (their official rewards program). Next time I use a discount, it will be the correct one. FYI valid discount codes will all begin with a W.
