Let Sweet Tomatoes come to the rescue on days when you just don't feel like cooking. This unique eatery in northwestern Houston offers a huge, all-you-can-eat selection of fresh, veggie-centric dishes that are just as beautiful on the plate as they are delicious and healthy.

The menu changes regularly with the seasons, so you won't get bored with the same meal over and over again. Try the spicy cucumber watermelon salad with sriracha sauce that adds an extra kick to the sweet flavors, or go for the Asian ginger broth with mushrooms, cubed tofu, and chopped scallions for a fresh and light dinner. Sweet Tomatoes also strives to offer kid-friendly options such as tossed salads and the festive red white and blue potato salad with bacon. And of course, don't forget dessert, which includes lemon lava cake and peach cobbler soft-serve ice cream.
