    Really, really NOT my fave. The concept is a great one, but the reality is... not very clean, super crowded for some reason, and just not my cup of tea. I have some photos here of a situation I repeatedly reported to the management as we waited in the huge line. A man and woman were both snacking from their plate while in line, licking their fingers, then handling the food service tongs. Finally, I think maybe because they saw me taking video of the event, the manager stepped in- she replaced the tongs on that side, said she spoke with the guests about WHY they aren’t supposed to eat in line, etc. After that, they did a nice thing and basically took 50% off our bill. Not worth it to me really, as I’ve had a kidney transplant, and this inattention to detail could spell disaster for my weakened immune system. I’ll go to a full service restaurant I trust, instead, I’ve decided.

    Fresh food. Lots and lots of options. The staff was very friendly. This is basically all u can eat, they took away all the used plates very quickly. I would definitely come back.

    Salad heaven, everything feels and tastes fresh. The soups don't disappoint and the service is always good notch. Pretty crowded most of the time, but thanks to the booths it doesn't feel that way. Always a favorite for a nice healthy and fresh style food outing.

    I was going to do 4 stars just because the restaurant was built too small and it's always packed and noisy, with a bit of a wait for tables, especially for large parties. However, I was very impressed with the management. They looked up recipes for me because of a food allergy so I knew what was safe to eat. They even especially made a foccacia bread just for us (with the pans and cutting utensils cleaned first to avoid cross allergen contamination), AND they delivered most of the tray to our table. Impressive. The restaurant was mostly clean. Just very busy. It's a buffet, so there's a lot of traffic through the restaurant as customers flit from buffet to tables. We chose to enjoy the covered patio which was much quieter than inside. There is a wide variety of food. Plenty to choose from for salads, and then soups, pastas, potatoes, muffins, breads, desserts, etc. All of it was delicious. The only other thing that detracted from a stellar experience was the small bathrooms that were always in use. Be forewarned, especially when bringing young children.

    The food was okay; not the best place to grab salad or soup. The desserts were an average delight. All other options were not very appetising. However, I do believe that the prices are just right.

    Got the level 2 take out. With an email discount coupon, it was $9.99 b4 4pm. We stuffed our salad box, got 2 huge soup containers, filled our bakery bag with focaccia, baked potatoes and muffins. Then I made iced coffee for the beverage cup. Everything was fresh and delicious.

  • 3/5 Cindy E. 4 years ago on Google
    Waited 30 mintues in line, no exaggeration, not a good selection of soups

  • 5/5 Rueben P. 4 years ago on Google
    Best ever location and food

  • 2/5 Mario S. 4 years ago on Google
    Routine salads. Boring taste. Expensive. Same old stuff. Soups however do change. Soups should clearly inform nutritional info, including sodium content.

  • 3/5 S B. 4 years ago on Google
    I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. The name is Souplantation, but it should be called Saladplantation. There is only 8 very plain everyday greasy spoon soup offerings. The world has thousands of different types. We also live in an extremely diverse population. I was hoping for more than French Onion without croutons or melted cheese or bland Clam Chowder. I won't be back.

  • 4/5 Jon M. 6 years ago on Google
    Staff keeps it clean. Fresh food always comes out and has high turn over on the weekends. Prices are good and even better if you have a coupon. It was very economical to feed 22 people when we came with a large group.

    No meat here!!! Love it!! ;)

  • 5/5 DarkTower09 0. 4 years ago on Google
    1st time visit, I was impressed. Enjoyed everything I had, food was very fresh! I did not expect their dessert breads to be very good (buffet breads and pastries are usually not very good) these were awesome. Too good! Bonus, staff were nice.

  • 5/5 Joe G. 4 years ago on Google
    Always fresh, always bright, always colorful and always YUMMY! You can't go wrong. Be sure to check their site for coupons before every visit. You can save a bunch of $$$

    I usually go to the one in Point Loma, this one really disappointed me. The salad bar had many less choices. And all of the prepared items lacked spices and seasonings.☹️☹️

  • 4/5 Jose Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Great salads and a pretty decent soup selection. The biggest issue is the place is too small and the wait to get seated can be a bit long.
