text: Never going backnnWhat a disappointing waste of time My wife and I were in the area Tempe and have not been to Sweet Tomatoes in a while so we decided to stop in From the outside everything looked the same as last time except for a small sign out front that said something about a field Kitchennot really noticeable As we walked in we soon noticed that things were not the same It was total confusion from the start when we were asked if we had been to a field kitchen before and were then in the middle of a tour We were instructed on how to order a salad and about the separate stations that were available Gone were the long and endless serve yourself salad bar soups focaccia and other familiar items You could still build your own salad but over half of the original toppings were available and only two choices lettuceold yellow and a mix of spinach and some bitter red leaves And at the end of the line a dressing Czar inquires about the choice of dressinghow weirdnnYou are now REQUIRED to carry a CARD with you at all times to purchase items A la carte at the various stations Swipe for your salad swipe for your drink and swipe for your entree The basic salad included a smallish bowlcup for one of the three soups and a smaller cup possibly the mac cheese There was also a small waffle cup that you could take to the soft serve machineno toppings available And gone was the fruit and desert barnnThe end of the line for me was when I had finished my disappointing salad and ventured over to the entree areasticker shock for basic side items for pasta and up for precooked meat items NO WAY was this Sweet tomatoes We finally had enough and made a line for the door Once at the register it was apparent from the couple in front of us that they eliminated their senior discount raised their prices and add an automatic gratuity to the total What nnIf the government ever ran a restaurant this would be IT nnWe hope that ST takes these reviews seriously and dose not ruin the remaining locations with this ridiculous concept
