Exactly what you would expect. Soup and salads galore. For a first time customer o would have preferred clearer direction on where to start, how to proceed, pricing, etc. We walked in and we're mostly left to our own devices to figure everything out. The food was good though and it's a nice alternative to super heavy buffet.
I really love Sweet Tomatoes. I really do.
So, why a 4 Star rating? I'll tell you.
First, the things I love is the All-You-Can-Eat concept of salad, soups and pasta, oh, and ice cream.
Second, there is plenty of seating.
Third, there is positive signage everywhere.
Fourth, the staff is super friendly and introduce themselves as they were your waiters/tress to take care of the cleanliness of the table, which set it apart from other self-service, all you can eat restaurants.
Fifth, both Orlando locations are close to the interstate, so they are easily accessible.
Sixth, the things that can improve are to add more gluten free items, especially with the soups because several have flour or thickeners. Another option would be to add gluten free pasta and at least 2 gluten free desserts.
Only good food here is a large salad buffet and like 5 soups. However, if you're going out for only soups and salads than you'll love this place. Great theme, appears clean, promotes good food sourcing.
This is a must stop on our Disney trips, salad bar, pizza bar, soup bar, and good bread and dessert. Love the ice cream bar, only suggestion would be to include a drink. Even if you raise the price of the buffet, I hate paying separate for the drink. Also your gluten green options are great, love that there is always a gluten free bread or cookie (or both) on the buffet. We stay at Disney’s French Quarter and this is a short drive (or Uber) and it’s well worth the trip.
Love the salad bar. Biggest selection of salads, vegetables, and extras including their homemade dressing. Usually 5 different soups to choose from , potato bar ( both regular and sweet ) with all the fun toppings, homemade breads and sweet butter , self serve ice cream station and fresh lemonade and tea. The staff are pleasant and ensure your table is free of unused dishes. Love this location. Parking lot is busy as there are many restaurants that share the same area . However Sweet Tomatoes is at the very end and offers extra parking on the side of the building.
