If you are one that loves a buffet, then the best place to visit is one of my family’s favorite locations, Sweet Tomatoes! They have the best assortment of salads, soups, sweet treats, pasta and more.

Several times a year, my daughter and I visit my mother in Central Florida for vacation. When we start the process of planning our vacation, I know that one of the first stops will be Sweet Tomatoes. My mom and aunt LOVE this establishment and family coming to town is always a great reason to visit their local restaurant near The Villages, FL.From the moment you step into the from door you are greeted with a enticing views and scent of fresh, wholesome food. The journey begins when you grab your tray, grab your plate and start down the salad buffet aisle to an endless bounty of delicious food. As you make your way down the primary salad bar, you end at the register where you get your drink, pay for your meal and select your table. From there you can get a full glimpse of the soup bar, bread and pasta bar and even more excitingly, the dessert bar!Sweet Tomatoes is completely self service style dining; however, they have delightful, polite staff that come around and ask if you need anything and clear your dirty dishes.

Once you have your salad prepared, head over to their drink station where you will find a large abundance and variety to choose from.
They carry Pepsi brand soft drinks, hot coffees, hot and cold teas of many flavors, lemonade and water.

My personal favorite? Their Sweet bread selection!

Baked fresh daily, you can find Brownie Bites, Quattro Formaggio Focaccia, Buttermilk Cornbread and Multi-Grain Bread, just to name a few.

WARM UP WITH SOME HOT SOUP!
There was a great variety of soups for even the choosiest of soup lovers. From a heart chili to a more fluid minestrone soup, you can find both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options! I really want to try out that Irish Leek Soup they have this month.

About Nutrition:

At Souplantation, they believe that eating fresh, healthy, wholesome food is an important part of leading a well-balanced life. In fact, their restaurant was founded upon this very idea and that’s why all the menu items are farm fresh and made from scratch. They are committed to stocking the salad buffet with the freshest ingredients to allow guests to make their own salad creation to enjoy alongside the house made salads, soups, breads, and desserts. They want all their guests to have the options to create a healthy meal all their own.
