I haven't been there in a while, but I hate that it is closing. This restaurant (pictured below) is across the street from our hotel. Its food is fresh, gets great reviews and is family /kid friendly. This particular one was where we would meet when we were in college - easy to get to and great for a large group get together.
My sons and I met every so often at Sweet Tomatoes at Barrett Parkway ... same chain, different name. I know the news keeps talking about Covid-19 changing us. I think once we get through this, like H1N1, we will put it behind us and forget, and be back to buffets, stadiums, movie theaters, and conventions. Maybe I am naive, but I would totally go out to a buffet once this is behind us.
Souplantation Is No More | San Diego-Based Restaurant Chain Will Not Reopen
May 7, 2020
The first Souplantation restaurant was opened by founder Dennis Jay in 1978 on Mission Gorge Road in San Diego. After growing to two locations with the help of friends, Jay sold the pair of buffett-style eateries to Garden Fresh Restaurant Corp in 1983. The eatery grew to over 130 locations over the years, with all those located outside of California named Sweet Tomatoes. In 2016, the company filed for bankruptcy and shuttered dozens of outposts, but 97 locations remained as of this year.

Founded in San Diego 42 years ago, Souplantation's parent company Garden Fresh Restaurants has laid off its workforce after announcing it would not be reopening due to uncertainty for the buffet restaurant sector in the face of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
