    We travelled down from Phoenix and were excited to find our old favorite. Food was very yummy as we remembered, but there is a lack of variety and high protein options. There are sugar free desert options which is a plus. Service was great. They continued to pick up our empty dishes and made sure we were done using them. They were also very quick putting out fresh food. We also loved getting to pick out a sticker for our travels. The ambiance is very casual. Great for a group of friends or large party wanting to catch up.

    I haven't been to Sweet Tomatoes since they closed the location near the Tucson Mall. A friend of mine from California was passing through town and wanted to meet for lunch. I made the 40 minute drive from my house (I live on the far Northwest side of town) to meet my friend. I'm glad I did! The service was friendly from staff greeter, cashiers, to those busing tables. The salad that I put together was crisp, fresh, and refreshing! I had some clam chowder too. In a word, delicious! Great value, and worth the drive!

    So so, so so happy that they are back!!!! Sweet Tomatoes (AKA Souplantation), was basically my childhood, and now that they are slowly reopening, makes me so happy. Can't wait for them to further expand out of Arizona and Florida! This establishment will basically be welcomed throughout America, and I know for a fact that they will be busier than ever. I think it's amazing their prices are pretty similar to pre-Covid prices! Really appreciate management's efforts to keep this restaurant accessible to families. Please keep up the good work! Prices as of May 2026 M-F lunch (open-4PM): 12.75 Dinners + Weekends: 13.75 Stopped by on a Friday afternoon around 3:30 PM, just in time to catch their lunch prices. Parking is pretty easy in the lot, but just don't expect to be parked right out in front of sweet tomatoes. Services warm and quick throughout the visit as well. Bussers are super kind and very attentive to your needs. Even at 4 PM on Friday, the spot was quite busy, although there were still plenty of tables available. Not sure if there are lines in the weekend anymore, but can definitely see this restaurant being busy on weekends and dinners. Overall, welcome back sweet tomatoes! So happy you're back, thriving, and serving the same quality food at very accessible prices for all families. Really looking forward to your expansion! Just know that you have tons of fans throughout the US waiting too frequent y'all once again.

    We made the trip down from Phoenix for what was probably our eighth visit to one of our favorite spots. Unfortunately, this experience fell short of the high standards we've come to expect. While the main courses still tasted great, the salad bar started things off on the wrong foot with wilted lettuce, and the dessert station remained empty and unkempt for most of our meal. The service felt stretched thin; it took a while to have trays cleared, and the restrooms were in poor condition with a broken urinal and lack of cleanliness. The drink station, however, was well-stocked and tidy. It seemed like the team was simply understaffed for such a busy night. We're chalking this up to a rare "off night" and will definitely be back to give them another chance.

    What a nostalgic trip! It it exact what we remember from our local Phoenix ST. Hard to believe the original chain has been closed since 2020. Sitting here it feels like only yesterday.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. I finally had a chance to go with a friend. Nothing has changed. Same food, friendly wait staff, and cleanliness. The clam chowder had HUGE chunks of clam, the salads were spot on. We were really happy with the consistency of what Sweet Tomatoes was and still is. Great job! Now, if you'd just buy a few more of the closed Sweet Tomatoes and get this great chain back in business, you'd have a lot of happy people!

    I can see why this place went out of business not long after covid started. The entire business model is based on buffet style eating and during those days no one wanted others to be around their food Since it reopened they have better covid safety precautions in place but the general buffet vibe remains. Having never been it reminds me like if Dennys were a buffet. The food is average. You start with a make your own salad bar and then they have soups, breads, and pasta available at their hot stations. They also have a full ice cream service bar. I think for the salad lovers you will love coming here. If you're looking for a something more substantial then go elsewhere. We will be back eventually as everything is fairly cheaper.

    If your a salad person then this is your place. I am a salad person but the selections of ingredients were ok. I feel the placement of condiments were not good. They had cinnamon sugar and honey by crushed peppers & parmesan cheese. Not many dessert foods. This was my first time visiting and I guess my expirations were a little higher than I experienced. I may or may not return. But see what you think?

    My co- worker came in in lunch break into Tucson from scottsdale ,Az .. we had been told there was this spot that we had in Phoenix a while back and needed to try out . We sure are glad we finally made the stop . It was delicious, clean , great choice in salad , the staff was very helpful especially the young lady cleaning the tables on 1-28-26 @ 2pm .. we had fresh strawberry lemonade , great pasta , soups , and dessert.. the price I think was very reasonable. The only issue was the parking around the building other than that perfect place to a great salad meal .. but mainly cause of the staff is why I wanna come back .

    What's not to like? Buffets do make me slightly nervous from a hygiene standpoint, but I wash my hands/ sanitize after every trip to a station before eating and have never had an issue eating here. The produce is always fresh, cold, crisp as it should be and there are so many options at the salad bar to please everyone. We also enjoy the soups which rotate, baked regular and sweet potatoes with toppings, pastas and little flatbreads, and dessert options including pastries/ muffins, soft serve ice cream and toppings, sugar-free mousse and puddings, and fresh fruit. The prices are reasonable, especially for lunch, and we always leave feeling satisfied. The staff works hard to keep things clean and organized, clear plates quickly, etc.

The spiced oil soaked into the rice, spreading the flavor to every last grain. It's really lovely and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is bigger than it appears from the outside, with a bright, cheerful ambience. Despite being busy, it never felt too loud, which was nice.
