text: This new concept of fast soup and salad service just doesn't make it for me.  I like the original Sweet Tomatoes full service soup and salad bar on Stephanie but this one just doesn't satisy.  I stopped in to get a quickie lunch and it was.  You have your choice of 6 soups and a salad that is custom made by the servers as you walk the line.  I got an 8 oz. cup of their delicious chicken noodle soup (including chunks of chicken) and simple salad.  The price with tax came to just over $11.00.\nNo value here.  You can go to the soup and salad bar on Stephanie and for $8.99 get all the soup you can eat, all the salad you can eat (you make your own there), several different types of other salads such as macaroni, broccoli, cole slaw, etc., baked potatoes, pasta bar including mac and cheese, pizza, muffins and several desserts.That is an all you can eat buffet so the concept is what I'm used to at S.T.\nI didn't feel I got my money's worth at the Express.  Why didn't they put a full sized Sweet Tomatoes on this side of town?   We all agree we would have preferred that. With so many places to eat surrounding this one I can't imagine spending $11.00 for soup and salad.  Make no mistake, the  quality and freshness are still evident here; I just don't get the Express thing.\n\nYou can eat in - there are several booths inside, take it home or take it out on their  patio. The drawback is that the patio is located right on Eastern with all of the traffic and gas fumes along with the noise.  Not cool. \nI live right up the road but won't go back.   I WILL continue to go to the original S.T. on Stephanie.
