A weekend splurge, and well worth it! The usual enormous salad bar, but also for brunch - eggs (3 dishes), biscuits, gravy, potatoes, pasta, cinnamon rolls, Belgian waffles, etc., etc. All fresh, inviting, and irresistible! And unlike lunch or dinner time, it's great to go when it's not crowded - we were there unknowingly when it opened at 9am and... More

They usually have 6 soups and always a vegetarian selection or two. I don't eat the pizza, pasta or desserts but they are definitely there. I try to go there... More

The food is okay and is a good value for the price - especially if you use a coupon. We came here as a big group and the greeter was fantastic. She played riddle games with us while we waited for all of our party to show up. And at the end of our meal she came and played games... More

sweet tomatoes concept of salad and soup (with a bit of other items tossed in) works wonders for so many people who don't look at it as eating "heavy". no doubt this location is popular as we were there about 5:30 pm on a sunday just before it got really crowded. the salad bar is fresh and varied. you have...

Sweet Tomatoes and Soup Plantation is a US chain. We used to live down the street from one and now this location is the closest to us (3 hours). Sad face. Whenever we drive to San Francisco, we make it a point to stop here for lunch or dinner. It is the BEST PLACE FOR FAMILIES AND KIDS BAR NONE.... More

Lots of low quality stuff on a two sided salad bar. Limited, if any, hot meats to be found. Lots of families that don't watch or control their kids, if you make it to your table without being bumped into, you were lucky

We like it for a basic salad bar sort of place. You can sit outside in the summer which is nice.
