text: We've been coming here for years. It is a bargain if you have the coupons that are available in the mail or online.\n\nThe past couple times, I have noticed a downward trend of quality. recently, some items were added to the \"upgrade\" section. For almost $11 for dinner, I would rather pay an extra buck & just have as much chicken as we want. Not for $2.49 & only one 3 or 4 oz serving!\n\nThe soups are fairly good quality. The chowder & the potato leek soup alone made a star on the review.  \n\nThe pasta dishes have dropped badly in quality. Fazoli's had better pasta - and that is a fast food place! I would like to see a return to basics on their pasta. What's the use of sausage & peppers if you cannot get the pasta right?\n\nFor a salad bar restaurant, Sweet Tomatoes has a very poor selection of fruit. Watermelon, pineapples, & cantaloupe should be standard, plus maybe one or two others. They had bananas and apples! Wow how imaginative for the price we paid. Not. \n\nThe selection of hot tea is quality. Two different red tea selections. The pomegranate green tea was tasty. BTW, it is the Republic of Tea company, not Lipton or Nestea. \n\nJason's Deli does offer a better salad, where a soup can be bought for $1. Maybe we will give Sweet Tomatoes another chance in a few months. But it is no longer the go-to place it once was.
