Sweet Tomatoes

I think the greatest thing about Sweet Tomatoes is there ever changing menu. They always have new choices which keeps the place fresh and makes you keep coming.
Between the salad bar with the basics and all of the other pre-​made salad options. They have it figured out.
Beyond that they have like 6 different delicious soup options, pasta, delicious breads, baked potatoes and a bunch of other delicious options.
They also have great desserts with ice cream.
This is a great fresh place that helps you avoid the fried foods of other restaurants and buffets. It’s great for groups and great for the kids.

Salads are fine, but the rest of the food is very bland. Also it would be nice to have some meat toppings for the salads, like ham or chicken.

It was pretty good, there weren’t any savory thing is the bakery only sweets, there were only a few different salads but they did taste great. There was an ice cream machine but when I went chocolate wasn’t working. There was good service, and considering the price it wasn’t all that bad.

I come here a few times a year. If you are looking for comfort food, look elsewhere. Gluten free, nut free, meat free…
Come prepared with a touch of cash for the person clearing your table, they don’t add tip to your receipt.
I’m not a fan of the baked goods, I find them all dry and bland.
Service has always been friendly. Food stations clean and presentable.
Floor plan awkward, other patrons almost always annoying.

Jolly good restaurant! Tip top, vegetarian friendly food! I simply adore their soups and what not!

The variety alone is worth the drive for me. The salad bar is so good. The soups are excellent and baked potato bar is amazing. I never eat ice cream but I know it’s good because my husband eats two or three.

This location is always clean and the food is always available. I like eating here. The pasta is always hot and the salads and ingredients are fresh.

Sweet Tomatoes is great — mostly ate it in California, have only been to the Sandy location a handful of times. It’s got the standard setup, but a slightly smaller dining room. The food is always fresh but it seems that prices are going up, not to mention that they are now trying to nickle and dime you for extra ingredients (chicken).

There was a lot of variety and its a good deal as a lunch buffet, all the while feeling healthier than other buffets. The salad selection is diverse. I prefered the hot stuff though. The pizza bread, corn bread, and soups are pretty good. Nothing special about the ice cream. The fruit is kept in good condition (pineapple was decently sweet). Service was very good, the waitress promptly came to take our dishes away and refill our drinks.

After visiting the Festival of Trees, I was excited to take my family to Sweet Tomatoes for a late lunch. The salad bar was good, but everything else was just ok. As for service, we were onto dessert before anybody came to clear the plethora of plates at our small table. Unfortunately, two of the four became sick a couple hours after eating here. It is unlikely I will be back.

I tried the Sweet Tomatoes by South Towne Center and was none too impressed. It was my first time ever eating at a Sweet Tomatoes and, while I know this shouldn’t affect my opinion, the place was far too crowded for a Wednesday night.
It was so crowded in fact that my family (my parents and younger brother were in town) and I had to basically corner another family at a large table and wait for them to leave. We sat at their dirty table until the waitress came by and cleared everything away as quickly as she could.
The one thing I did like is that the waitress carried my tray to the table for me. The service was pretty good.
The food was sub-​par at best. The salad was basic but not bad, but anything at the bakery I would avoid. I didn’t try the soups but they didn’t have a big variety of soups anyway. The meal was $ 10 a person and I don’t feel the meal was worth the price.

What can I say about Sweet Tomatoes or Souplantation as we call it where I’m from. It’s good, sometimes even great but it’ll never blow your socks off. But if you go with a coupon it’s usually $ 7.99 for all you can eat soups and salads, which is a pretty stellar deal regardless. It definitely beats olive gardens endless soup and salad deal any day. I love that they constantly have limited time menu items — keeps things interesting. Recently they had pumpkin muffins. I topped it with maple whip and it was deeelicous! Since it’s a buffet I would say try a little bit of everything if it’s your first time. But if I had to say, I would say my favorite items are the Chinese chicken salad and Joan’s broccoli madness. I stack those items til they’re overflowing on my plate every time mmMm!
Don’t forget to sign up for their emails! They send out coupons very often and they are better deals than the coupons you get in the mail.

Sad day…
I use to eat here at least twice a week if not more. When I started traveling for work I didn’t come in for about 6 months and yeesh… Have things gone downhill fast.
One of my favorite things use to be the chicken noodle soup. What made it awesome was the actual pieces of rotisserie chicken abounding within. Both white and (my favorite) dark meat. Tonight it was straight up canned chicken or what I lovingly refer to as «tuna chicken» so sad.
In terms of food quality, it is obvious that they have taken a step down, and yet, prices have gone up since last we were here. This really makes me sad… And I hope they step up their quality to where it was when it was my favorite place to eat.

Having a more healthy option for buffet food is a great idea, and is my main reason for ever coming here. The salad bar is great and you can make a satisfying yet healthy plate of food quickly and easily. I have generally found the items available in the salad bar to be fresh and they do have a good selection of items.
For the most part the soups are also fairly good, but also not anything to write home about. Breads here though are not good, they are often stale and dry — fortunately I don’t come here for that and honestly it helps my diet as a result by preventing me from indulging in the one thing that could offset my healthily chosen salad items!
Realistically, it’s a buffet folks — and so you don’t expect stellar service or gourmet food, nor will you find it. The bathrooms here are also nothing but gross.
I personally think it’s overpriced same as others mention, but to counter that I think of when we make salads at home, buy a crap load of ingredients and subsequently never use half of it, that’s wasteful and expensive too.
So on that note, I’ll conclude that I enjoy the convenience of Sweet Tomatoes and the selection of its salad bar items combined with the fact it’s a good alternative to less healthy options I could pick instead, and thus despite the few negative factors give it a solid A OK rating and suspect it’s somewhere I will continue to come to.

How could you not love this place? When ever I’m craving a good salad & soup, this is the place I like to come to. Yes, it’s your typical buffet style restaurant, but they have a lot of choices of salads and soups to choose from. The corn bread and cheese bread are to die for. The fresh strawberry juice is a must try! I would rate it 5 stars, however the desseret bar could be a little better. And I must say they do a good job at keeping it pretty clean.
The staff are really friendly and great about removing your plates in a quickly matter.
Also, it’s a great place to take the kids!

I love this place for many reasons. The first one being that I LOVE buffets. I love variety without the extra added expense.
If you’ve never been here before, as you first enter you pick up a tray and a couple of plates and build your salad (s). There are pre-​made salads or you can build your own with the huge slew of salad add ons. I like to get 2 plates and get both the premades and also build my own. Here they also have a variety of pasta salads. After you’re done creating your ideal salad you pay. You then pick your seat, enjoy your salad and then take advantage of the many soups they have! At the soup bar they also have pastas and a fruit and ice cream bar and assorted breads. Save room to try everything. Most people get full off the salads. I really liked the minestrone. All the other soups were ok. ;)
All in all, it’s a relaxing semi-​healthy food joint to eat at with lots to choose from.

It’s really kinda gross. Maybe I’m just not a buffet person but it is very similar to Golden Corral and Chuck a Rama.
Food just sits under the heat lamp. Gross. Even the salad is just iceberg out of bag.
I’m just not a fan. I don’t think this is a place that is worth paying to eat at.

I’ve always avoided going here because I don’t like eating grass i.e. salads.
but hubbie dragged me here last night and I was surprisingly pleased.
Pros:
1.delicious soup – tried two types. really liked both. If you like chicken noodle soup, this is the place for you
2. friendly & courteous staff
3. Wide selection of salads & dressings
4. Clean
Cons:
1. fruit bar was not that great — only had oranges, jello, apples…

Typical Sweet Tomatoes chain. I love this place because I like to eat vegetarian and enjoy buffets.
Pro’s:
— Decent salads
— Large selection of soups
* My favorite
— Clean
— Friendly & courteous staff
— Had a Sweet Tomato mascot walking around saying hi to the kids
Con’s:
— Fruit bar is lacking and full of fruit that looks like it’s been sitting there all day and should be tossed out. Oranges and apples I think.
* Where is the canteloupe, honey dew melons and watermelon that I’m used to seeing in Sweet Tomatoes in California?
— Jello and strawberry pudding are in the fruit bar section.

Where’s the meat? A friend was going to Sweet Tomatoes with his family and invited us. There were no expectations. I’ve seen several around Salt Lake Valley and thought we should give it a shot.
This is a buffet style place with salad being the main attraction. The problem I had was that the salad bar was pretty basic. Nothing out of the ordinary or extraordinary comes to mind. I was hoping for some good side salad choices but there were few if any. There is a small pasta bar and a few baked goods like muffins and cheese bread to break the salad monotony which was alright at best.
Food was semi-​fresh and the place was clean. It was late in the day around 3:00 and there were few patrons and few employees.
Summary– When dining buffet style I like lots of options and try a little bit of everything unfortunately for me there wasn’t much to try. The only choice was Spinach or iceburg. While I’m not a fan I do see the value in being able to grab a healthy lunch quickly.
