Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant - Healhty, All-You-Can-Eat, Fresh Food

During our recent family vacation in Florida, we stumbled upon Sweet Tomatoes, a healthy all-you-want-to-eat restaurant within driving distance of Walt Disney World. After eating several meals in the Parks, I was craving something fresh and healthy but filling, and Sweet Tomatoes was an awesome food find that we will frequent again.

When entering Sweet Tomatoes, you start at a super long salad bar loaded with a rainbow of freshly prepared vegetables. At the end of the salad line you pay per person, so don’t worry about loading up your plate. In fact, I sometimes grab two plates of salad. I would be happy enough with just their salad bar with the endless variety of healthy ingredients, but after you’re seated you can also enjoy their other all-you-care-to-eat specialties made fresh daily. They have a bakery section including fresh baked breads and muffins. A potato bar offering baked potatoes and sweet potatoes with all the toppings. A soup bar with about 8 different varieties of made from scratch soups. A pasta bar featuring hot tossed mac & cheese and other pasta creations (I’ll admit I didn’t sample the pasta since I tried to select the healthiest main dish options). And don’t miss dessert with selections of fresh fruit, soft serve frozen yogurt with tons of topping options including homemade caramel sauce and more!

We loaded up on the salad (my favorite part), a sweet potato, a piece of multi-grain bread with honey butter, soup, and ended our meal with a swirl of frozen yogurt, sometimes over one of their warm homemade brownies. We ate quite a few meals at Sweet Tomatoes on our vacation and couldn’t get enough of their fresh quality ingredients. I wish they would open locations in Pennsylvania so we could enjoy this restaurant near home.

If you’re going to Walt Disney World and would like to try Sweet Tomatoes you’ll probably need a rental car to get to this location, but it’s worth a visit. Savings Tip: We joined Club Veg on their website and they emailed us coupons that made this a super affordable, healthy yet filling vacation meal that we highly recommend.

Update as of January 2014:  On a recent visit to Disney World, we ate at Sweet Tomatoes a few times. They accepted emailed coupons on our smart phone...no printing necessary, which is great!  The grandparents found the senior discount offered even better pricing than the coupons, but for everyone else the coupons worked well.  We still love and recommend Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant!
