I have been a patron here for years. Souper Salad is my go to buffet when I want to stuff my face without the guilt. Yes, I know I'm delusional.
Any who, the salads and all the fixins are fresh. They usually have one premade salad de jour. I don't usually go for the premade salads so try at your own risk.
The cold pastas haven't changed much over the years. I can say that the tuna and fettuccine pastas are pretty tasty. They have other pastas and potatoe salads that I have not tried.
The soup bar is hit or miss. Some days they have several delicious soups other days the options are blah.
Next comes the baked potatoe and sweet potatoe options. Several toppings are available for you to pile as high as you like. I go for the classic baked potato with chili, cheese, green union and a large dallop of sour cream. Mmm.
Slide on down to the bread section. Warm chocolate muffins, blueberry muffins and savory cornbread are available with butter. Also available are several thin crust pizzas. Veggie, cheese and pepperoni are your options. The pizza options are not all out at once so keep an eye out for the pizza you want.
We've come to the end of the food buffet. They used to rotate the food options frequently in this area. Lately i have noticed that the nachos have taken permanent residence in this space. I wish I had something nice to say about the nacho "cheese" but no. It's lumpy, watery and flavorless.
Desserts available are soft serve ice cream (vanilla flavor only), toppings, seasonal fruit and strawberry shortcake.
Now for the REALLY exciting part about this place... It's an architectural blast from the past! Yes folks, a mid-century gem!!! One of very few mid-century buildings left in Phoenix. Geek out and enjoy!!!
