So I have been a sweet tomatoes fan since I was in high school. It definitely has problems, but ever since all of the souper salads around us closed this has really been our only option for a salad buffet.
First off, the prices are really high but they give coupons away like crazy. I get an email pretty much every week, and they are all over the newspapers....just lower the prices already!!! Even with the coupons the price of a meal for a family is much too high for the food that you get, which brings me to my huge problem with the place. Why is there no meat for the salads? Even souper salad had ham and turkey and their prices were much, much lower.
The dessert options are laughable, it's usually oranges and some jello. It reeks of no effort at all and looks sorry. They do offer ice cream but I'm not a fan. Some other options would be appreciated. The service is usually very good and the warm cookies that are brought around are usually delicious.
If Sweet Tomatoes added meat to their menu and lowered the prices, I would be there more often. I don't foresee this happening but it's nice to dream. BTW I am so glad that this place didn't turn into that "Field Kitchen" chain that they tried with some other locations. That sounded like a disaster.
