It's no sweet tomato. But the food is good and the prices aren't bad.

This place is a standard salad bar, similar to Sweet Tomatoes if you can compare it to that. I ate here one evening because at the time there were no Sweet Tomatoes in Mesa or Gilbert and I was really needing my salad fix! First thing I noticed was how filthy the salad bar was. It was seriously a mess...goopy salad dressing smeared all over, lettuce everywhere, vegetables that looked like they hadn't been wiped off the counter for hours. It was just gross to see that type of a mess in a buffet line. The place was packed for a weeknight so I figured it was going to taste pretty good, or as good as salad buffet can be. The selection was mediocre at best, without too many options for salad toppings, and worst of all- the lettuce had seen its share of better days. It was wilted and browned. Plus if I remember correctly, there was an overabundance of iceberg lettuce and virtually no romaine and no spinach. The soup was equally as disappointing. One of the soups was so salty it almost seemed like it was a mistake, like they accidentally doubled the sodium in the recipe. Ugh. I tried the other soups thinking they'd be better but all of them tasted like they came from a mix, or something out of a can. There was no distinct flavor to anything. I left thinking, is this it? Even so, I returned a second time to see if maybe it was just an off-day, plus I needed another salad fix. Well, same story, different day- dirty restaurant, and questionable food.

once again Rand H. talked me into one of the rabbit food buffet's to start with i skipped right by all the lettuce salads and found some sausage and red bean soup and it was really good. I then ventured back up to the rabbit food. I chose to try the pasta salads (3 of them)and they were all good I also had two different potato salads that were also very tasty.As far as meat goes the choices are limited but they have a big pan of taco meat (browned hamburger)and all the taco fixings.I also had the vegetable lasagna it was alright. Then it was on to the sweets,always my favorite part of a meal. They have some cubed angel food cake which I put into a bowl and then added vanilla pudding and strawberries topped with whipped cream( yum) it was so good i went back and made another one,Then i had some soft serve ice cream with chocolate syrup,the soft serve was watery and not to good but it was the only thing i had that was below par.

Super Salad is predictable. The food is good, the selection is fair in comparison to other buffets but I find myself draw to Souper Salad because it is the same. I know exactly what I want and exactly where it is before I even get to the restaurant. The price is right, the wait staff is pleasant and ponschual. I'm meeting a friend there today.

We came here for lunch today was very disappointed in the food. It seems as if the selections have been reduced greatly! There was no watermelon. Only a few salads to choose from, and the soup was as if it had been watered down. There was no flavor either. My husband had macaroni and cheese but stopped with the first bite. The chocolate syrup was watered down too. The beets didn't have any flavor and the tuna caserole had no flavor. I had fond memories of years gone by when they had the best watermelon and other fruits in season and much to choose from. We will not be returning.

WARNING WARNING WARNING! All you need to know about this place is I saw an employee leave the toilet stall and leave the restroom WITHOUT WASHING his hands! When I came out of the restroom he was restocking the salad bar! When I talked to the manager about this he didn't seem to think it was a big deal. He didn't even ask which employee it was so he could talk to him. I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!

Good variety of salads and pasta salads. They also have soups, pizza, tacos, nachos, and mac and cheese. The breads are yummy and there is soft serve ice cream. The food is decent for the price and nice for a food sampler like me.

Souper Salad offers less salad choices than Sweet Tomatoes, but it does make up for it by adding a make your own taco bar and cheaper price than Sweet Tomatoes. The quality is decent. In addition to the make your own salad station, there are a few premade salads, a few soups, pasta, garlic sticks, the aforementioned taco bar, sweet and regular potatoes, and cooked veggies (Spicy kernel corn when I was there). They also have muffins, brownies, and soft serve for desserts. Service was great. My server was prompt in refilling drinks and taking away plates, and was very friendly. Overall, I liked the convenience of the buffet, especially if you have limited time for lunch. I'd definitely eat here again if I were in the area.

Found this place on Yelp and after reading the reviews we were so excited to go! After walking in...we should've walked right back out! The staff was fine but the patrons looked at my daughter and I like we were two drug addicts trying to rob the place. The average age in there was 60+ and they stared as if they had never seen two beautiful Puerto Rican ladies before! The food was pretty good although the same toppings are not on both sides of the bar. Red bean and rice soup with sausage was really yummy but the atmosphere was so bad that we couldn't wait to get out of there! A lady actually told my daughter to move because she needed a soup bowl...have you we were in a line of people and we where already serving our soups so 5 seconds is all she had to wait with her mouth shut! Incredible! My daughter has never told me that she feels out of place before but in the parking lot she asked me to never bring her back. So sadly all the nasty stares and dirty looks worked we'll never go back so all the good ole boys/girls don't have to worry! The old and rude people win! Everyone got a kill you with kindness smile out of me and its just sad that the people in that establishment are actually okay with their behavior...for a 14 year old to vocalize it speaks extremely loud volumes to me!

We tried for lunch today and three stars is fitting. The salad bar offers above average variety and is well tended, but the soups were below average. I tried both the broccoli cheese and the vegetable beef and both had some strong off flavors. I didn't try the miscellaneous items at the end such as tacos, chili, and nachos because they were not particularly attractive and not worth the calories and saturated fat -- I came here to eat healthy! Souper salad is pricey in my book (I don't get the senior discount), upwards of $10 for the salad and a drink. Don't go out of your way to eat here, but stop by if you're nearby and need a healthy option.

I've been driving there recently since salads always taste better to me when someone else prepares them. I've noticed an improvement over the years in that some time back, it stank in there--most unappetizing--and I just left. Tried it again one day and was pleasantly surprised--the funky smell is gone and the green-leaf lettuce and mixed greens are fresh, and so are the vegetables. Since I started going there a while back, I've noticed some unfortunate changes--I used to love the minestrone soup and now it tastes strange to me; I've tried other soups that I would normally enjoy, and haven't liked any of them. I used to like their potato salad and some of the pasta selections, but not any more, and the ginger and blueberry bread squares are not the same, either. I don't know if they tried to 'new and improve' some items and made them worse or are cutting corners, as another reviewer observed. Since taste is such a subjective thing I wouldn't tell anyone to not try those items; I just find there is less to choose from now for me personally, though I still enjoy a nice cool salad on a warm/hot day. I always get my salads to go so can't comment on a dining-in experience, though if they are busy it does seem very loud and it is impossible to walk back up to the front without walking very close to folks sitting at tables, which doesn't seem like a pleasant experience for the diners. Despite the negatives above, I would like to see them open a location 'out here' in the San Tan/Queen Creek area to have more ready access to a their salad bar during the six months of summer.

ok, this is the second time I tried this restaurant. the food was sooo bland and no taste. I love thousand Island dressing and this was horrible. My daughter used ranch and said it was horrible. the pasta salads had no taste and I had to salt my food even though I haven't used table salt for 20 plus years. horrible. had a very nice waiter though, but he never refilled our waters. the only thing that was good was the strawberry shortcake and the blueberry cakes. other than that it was horrible and I know now to never try this restaurant again. I will drive the extra miles for Sweet Tomatoes.

I give it three stars because of the service. I love the staff but am not in love with the food. I have frequented here but lately the food has been less than satisfactory. The tortilla soup didn't taste as good as usual and the ice tea had a significant aftertaste that wasn't desired. I do repeat how much I love the service as the staff is always more than welcome.

This staff is outstanding, very polite and courteous. It's hard to find good quality service people. The cashier was busy but turned to me and apologized and said he would be right with me, which he did. Layla my server was smiling the whole time, and checked on me with reasonable time in between, at times some servers are over attentive or non existent. The place was busy but everything stayed stocked and was fresh. My hats off to the management and staff for making this a pleasant visit for my first time, at this location. Keep it up!

I'm going to write my review while I'm here so I remember everything. First, was overcharged. They had to refund me and charge correctly. But he was nice so it was all good. Salad: They need to take the time to actually cut the lettuce. It was in huge pieces. Not a huge selection of veggies. My salad dressing, which I thought was blue cheese was more like a ranch-like milk. Made my salad very bland. Soups: nothing looked good so I skipped it Potato: it was ok. I mean how do you screw up a baked potato? You do have to backtrack and get your toppings from the taco bar (which I skipped too) Random Mac and cheese was cold. It might have been ok if it was warm. My daughter's ice cream Sunday looked pretty icky too. Overall, not impressed. And won't be back.

If you're coming here expecting it to be like it used to you'll be slightly disappointed. No more spicy or regular peanuts, no more real bacon bits, no more spring mix, watered down taco meat (too greasy), watered down chili, no more Warm bread (just sitting out exposed to whatever little kids and other people might expose it to), no more real butter on 'potato bar', watered down cheese sauce (gross now!), soups aren't good any more and don't taste homemade like they used to... Seriously obvious they're cutting corners now. Sweet Tomatoes or Sizzler for me from now on instead of here. Just found out why... It has a new franchise owner.

This location needs some serious overhauling. Buffet rehab perhaps. They had four soups, but only the Garden Vegetable was edible. Jalapeno and cornbread was just too weird and Onion soup was overflowing with Dill. The fourth soup was chicken something, but too creamy and not white meat. The ice cream is not ice cream, it is some fake form of the product and there are no toppings available. The mac and cheese is inedible and the grease is flowing atop the taco meat which will get your stomach churning instantly. Nacho cheese sauce and salads loaded with mayo do not help the cause. The cornbread is cold and the garlic sticks have no flavor. They have enough veggie and dressings to make a decent salad, but that is about all that is good and the price is reasonable at seven bucks. Chicken is extra money, which is nonsense, it is like an airline now at this buffet, everything ala carte. Head to the bigger chain which tries harder.

I'm a big SouperSalad fan, so I tend to be picky about going to new locations. The location in Phoenix was my favorite for a long time. I used to go to the Mesa Grand location, but only because of it's convenient location. Once I started coming to this location, I fell in love. My family loves to come here, I even bring the out-of-towners here regularly. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Even the thin crust, plain pizza is super yum. Their only downfall is not having my favorite Baked Potato Soup on hand everytime I'm there. Other than that, I love going there. I take my 2yr old all the time. I usually serve her veggies (broccoli, peas), fruit (melon, grapes, oranges), a few vanilla wafers, a slice of pizza, and 3-4 chips with nacho cheese. She loves having options and she always eats a little bit of each. I'm not sure what to call them...waiters...no...busboys...no....hosts, maybe. Well, the hosts that come around refilling your drinks are great. They even have a self-serve beverage station and they still come around if you're needing a fill. Since this is one left in Mesa, it has become ridiculously popular. My recommendation: come for early lunches, and early dinners. Don't ever come between 12-1pm, or 5-6pm and you'll have a great experience.

This place is a standard salad bar, similar to Sweet Tomatoes if you can compare it to that. I ate here one evening because at the time there were no Sweet Tomatoes in Mesa or Gilbert and I was really needing my salad fix! First thing I noticed was how filthy the salad bar was. It was seriously a mess...goopy salad dressing smeared all over, lettuce everywhere, vegetables that looked like they hadn't been wiped off the counter for hours. It was just gross to see that type of a mess in a buffet line. The place was packed for a weeknight so I figured it was going to taste pretty good, or as good as salad buffet can be. The selection was mediocre at best, without too many options for salad toppings, and worst of all- the lettuce had seen its share of better days. It was wilted and browned. Plus if I remember correctly, there was an overabundance of iceberg lettuce and virtually no romaine and no spinach. The soup was equally as disappointing. One of the soups was so salty it almost seemed like it was a mistake, like they accidentally doubled the sodium in the recipe. Ugh. I tried the other soups thinking they'd be better but all of them tasted like they came from a mix, or something out of a can. There was no distinct flavor to anything. I left thinking, is this it? Even so, I returned a second time to see if maybe it was just an off-day, plus I needed another salad fix. Well, same story, different day- dirty restaurant, and questionable food.

once again Rand H. talked me into one of the rabbit food buffet's to start with i skipped right by all the lettuce salads and found some sausage and red bean soup and it was really good. I then ventured back up to the rabbit food. I chose to try the pasta salads (3 of them)and they were all good I also had two different potato salads that were also very tasty.As far as meat goes the choices are limited but they have a big pan of taco meat (browned hamburger)and all the taco fixings.I also had the vegetable lasagna it was alright. Then it was on to the sweets,always my favorite part of a meal. They have some cubed angel food cake which I put into a bowl and then added vanilla pudding and strawberries topped with whipped cream( yum) it was so good i went back and made another one,Then i had some soft serve ice cream with chocolate syrup,the soft serve was watery and not to good but it was the only thing i had that was below par.

I tried the other soups thinking they'd be better but all of them tasted like they came from a mix, or something out of a can. There was no distinct flavor to anything. I left thinking, is this it? Even so, I returned a second time to see if maybe it was just an off-day, plus I needed another salad fix. Well, same story, different day- dirty restaurant, and questionable food.

once again Rand H. talked me into one of the rabbit food buffet's to start with i skipped right by all the lettuce salads and found some sausage and red bean soup and it was really good. I then ventured back up to the rabbit food. I chose to try the pasta salads (3 of them)and they were all good I also had two different potato salads that were also very tasty.As far as meat goes the choices are limited but they have a big pan of taco meat (browned hamburger)and all the taco fixings.I also had the vegetable lasagna it was alright. Then it was on to the sweets,always my favorite part of a meal. They have some cubed angel food cake which I put into a bowl and then added vanilla pudding and strawberries topped with whipped cream( yum) it was so good i went back and made another one,Then i had some soft serve ice cream with chocolate syrup,the soft serve was watery and not to good but it was the only thing i had that was below par.

Super Salad is predictable. The food is good, the selection is fair in comparison to other buffets but I find myself draw to Souper Salad because it is the same. I know exactly what I want and exactly where it is before I even get to the restaurant. The price is right, the wait staff is pleasant and ponschual. I'm meeting a friend there today.

We came here for lunch today was very disappointed in the food. It seems as if the selections have been reduced greatly! There was no watermelon. Only a few salads to choose from, and the soup was as if it had been watered down. There was no flavor either. My husband had macaroni and cheese but stopped with the first bite. The chocolate syrup was watered down too. The beets didn't have any flavor and the tuna caserole had no flavor. I had fond memories of years gone by when they had the best watermelon and other fruits in season and much to choose from. We will not be returning.

WARNING WARNING WARNING! All you need to know about this place is I saw an employee leave the toilet stall and leave the restroom WITHOUT WASHING his hands! When I came out of the restroom he was restocking the salad bar! When I talked to the manager about this he didn't seem to think it was a big deal. He didn't even ask which employee it was so he could talk to him. I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!
(1)Hedy P.
Good variety of salads and pasta salads. They also have soups, pizza, tacos, nachos, and mac and cheese. The breads are yummy and there is soft serve ice cream. The food is decent for the price and nice for a food sampler like me.
(4)Karen W.
Souper Salad offers less salad choices than Sweet Tomatoes, but it does make up for it by adding a make your own taco bar and cheaper price than Sweet Tomatoes. The quality is decent. In addition to the make your own salad station, there are a few premade salads, a few soups, pasta, garlic sticks, the aforementioned taco bar, sweet and regular potatoes, and cooked veggies (Spicy kernel corn when I was there). They also have muffins, brownies, and soft serve for desserts. Service was great. My server was prompt in refilling drinks and taking away plates, and was very friendly. Overall, I liked the convenience of the buffet, especially if you have limited time for lunch. I'd definitely eat here again if I were in the area.

Found this place on Yelp and after reading the reviews we were so excited to go! After walking in...we should've walked right back out! The staff was fine but the patrons looked at my daughter and I like we were two drug addicts trying to rob the place. The average age in there was 60+ and they stared as if they had never seen two beautiful Puerto Rican ladies before! The food was pretty good although the same toppings are not on both sides of the bar. Red bean and rice soup with sausage was really yummy but the atmosphere was so bad that we couldn't wait to get out of there! A lady actually told my daughter to move because she needed a soup bowl...have you we were in a line of people and we where already serving our soups so 5 seconds is all she had to wait with her mouth shut! Incredible! My daughter has never told me that she feels out of place before but in the parking lot she asked me to never bring her back. So sadly all the nasty stares and dirty looks worked we'll never go back so all the good ole boys/girls don't have to worry! The old and rude people win! Everyone got a kill you with kindness smile out of me and its just sad that the people in that establishment are actually okay with their behavior...for a 14 year old to vocalize it speaks extremely loud volumes to me!

We tried for lunch today and three stars is fitting. The salad bar offers above average variety and is well tended, but the soups were below average. I tried both the broccoli cheese and the vegetable beef and both had some strong off flavors. I didn't try the miscellaneous items at the end such as tacos, chili, and nachos because they were not particularly attractive and not worth the calories and saturated fat -- I came here to eat healthy! Souper salad is pricey in my book (I don't get the senior discount), upwards of $10 for the salad and a drink. Don't go out of your way to eat here, but stop by if you're nearby and need a healthy option.

I've been driving there recently since salads always taste better to me when someone else prepares them. I've noticed an improvement over the years in that some time back, it stank in there--most unappetizing--and I just left. Tried it again one day and was pleasantly surprised--the funky smell is gone and the green-leaf lettuce and mixed greens are fresh, and so are the vegetables. Since I started going there a while back, I've noticed some unfortunate changes--I used to love the minestrone soup and now it tastes strange to me; I've tried other soups that I would normally enjoy, and haven't liked any of them. I used to like their potato salad and some of the pasta selections, but not any more, and the ginger and blueberry bread squares are not the same, either. I don't know if they tried to 'new and improve' some items and made them worse or are cutting corners, as another reviewer observed. Since taste is such a subjective thing I wouldn't tell anyone to not try those items; I just find there is less to choose from now for me personally, though I still enjoy a nice cool salad on a warm/hot day. I always get my salads to go so can't comment on a dining-in experience, though if they are busy it does seem very loud and it is impossible to walk back up to the front without walking very close to folks sitting at tables, which doesn't seem like a pleasant experience for the diners. Despite the negatives above, I would like to see them open a location 'out here' in the San Tan/Queen Creek area to have more ready access to a their salad bar during the six months of summer.

ok, this is the second time I tried this restaurant. the food was sooo bland and no taste. I love thousand Island dressing and this was horrible. My daughter used ranch and said it was horrible. the pasta salads had no taste and I had to salt my food even though I haven't used table salt for 20 plus years. horrible. had a very nice waiter though, but he never refilled our waters. the only thing that was good was the strawberry shortcake and the blueberry cakes. other than that it was horrible and I know now to never try this restaurant again. I will drive the extra miles for Sweet Tomatoes.
(1)Sharlene R.
I give it three stars because of the service. I love the staff but am not in love with the food. I have frequented here but lately the food has been less than satisfactory. The tortilla soup didn't taste as good as usual and the ice tea had a significant aftertaste that wasn't desired. I do repeat how much I love the service as the staff is always more than welcome.
(3)Jen P.
Food was gross. Out of almost everything. People who were working were eating instead of making food. Worst management I've ever seen. Will not go back
(1)Maila N.
*Fast, fresh and healthy food. *Friendly people always willing to help. *CHEAP. *The only complaint I have is that it is almost always crowded. They need more space and more tables. One of my favorite places to catch a quick bite.
(5)Phil J.
This staff is outstanding, very polite and courteous. It's hard to find good quality service people. The cashier was busy but turned to me and apologized and said he would be right with me, which he did. Layla my server was smiling the whole time, and checked on me with reasonable time in between, at times some servers are over attentive or non existent. The place was busy but everything stayed stocked and was fresh. My hats off to the management and staff for making this a pleasant visit for my first time, at this location. Keep it up!
(5)Suzanne P.
I'm going to write my review while I'm here so I remember everything. First, was overcharged. They had to refund me and charge correctly. But he was nice so it was all good. Salad: They need to take the time to actually cut the lettuce. It was in huge pieces. Not a huge selection of veggies. My salad dressing, which I thought was blue cheese was more like a ranch-like milk. Made my salad very bland. Soups: nothing looked good so I skipped it Potato: it was ok. I mean how do you screw up a baked potato? You do have to backtrack and get your toppings from the taco bar (which I skipped too) Random Mac and cheese was cold. It might have been ok if it was warm. My daughter's ice cream Sunday looked pretty icky too. Overall, not impressed. And won't be back.
(1)JD A.
If you're coming here expecting it to be like it used to you'll be slightly disappointed. No more spicy or regular peanuts, no more real bacon bits, no more spring mix, watered down taco meat (too greasy), watered down chili, no more Warm bread (just sitting out exposed to whatever little kids and other people might expose it to), no more real butter on 'potato bar', watered down cheese sauce (gross now!), soups aren't good any more and don't taste homemade like they used to... Seriously obvious they're cutting corners now. Sweet Tomatoes or Sizzler for me from now on instead of here. Just found out why... It has a new franchise owner.
(2)Brad W.
This location needs some serious overhauling. Buffet rehab perhaps. They had four soups, but only the Garden Vegetable was edible. Jalapeno and cornbread was just too weird and Onion soup was overflowing with Dill. The fourth soup was chicken something, but too creamy and not white meat. The ice cream is not ice cream, it is some fake form of the product and there are no toppings available. The mac and cheese is inedible and the grease is flowing atop the taco meat which will get your stomach churning instantly. Nacho cheese sauce and salads loaded with mayo do not help the cause. The cornbread is cold and the garlic sticks have no flavor. They have enough veggie and dressings to make a decent salad, but that is about all that is good and the price is reasonable at seven bucks. Chicken is extra money, which is nonsense, it is like an airline now at this buffet, everything ala carte. Head to the bigger chain which tries harder.
(2)Dustin H.
Food wasn't fresh, service was terrible, everything was dirty and gross. This place is worse every time we come in, used to love coming in here. $24 for salads and water is pretty steep too, I think we're done here.
(2)Jeanette A.
I'm a big SouperSalad fan, so I tend to be picky about going to new locations. The location in Phoenix was my favorite for a long time. I used to go to the Mesa Grand location, but only because of it's convenient location. Once I started coming to this location, I fell in love. My family loves to come here, I even bring the out-of-towners here regularly. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Even the thin crust, plain pizza is super yum. Their only downfall is not having my favorite Baked Potato Soup on hand everytime I'm there. Other than that, I love going there. I take my 2yr old all the time. I usually serve her veggies (broccoli, peas), fruit (melon, grapes, oranges), a few vanilla wafers, a slice of pizza, and 3-4 chips with nacho cheese. She loves having options and she always eats a little bit of each. I'm not sure what to call them...waiters...no...busboys...no....hosts, maybe. Well, the hosts that come around refilling your drinks are great. They even have a self-serve beverage station and they still come around if you're needing a fill. Since this is one left in Mesa, it has become ridiculously popular. My recommendation: come for early lunches, and early dinners. Don't ever come between 12-1pm, or 5-6pm and you'll have a great experience.

Those with the review that said they liked this place...have you been to Soup Plantation? Souper Salad...not so good! Soup Plantation - we absolutely love it! I would not go back to Souper Salad, unless someone begged me too. The broccoli cheese soup tasted like nacho cheese - yuck! Honestly, everything was just awful. I wished I had paid more for a nice salad at a nice restaurant.

Like a poor mans version of Sweet Tomatoes. Less choices and less flavor. It's pretty disappointing. Spend the extra couple bucks and drive down the street to a better salad bar, or go to a real restaurant

This place is a standard salad bar, similar to Sweet Tomatoes if you can compare it to that. I ate here one evening because at the time there were no Sweet Tomatoes in Mesa or Gilbert and I was really needing my salad fix! First thing I noticed was how filthy the salad bar was. It was seriously a mess...goopy salad dressing smeared all over, lettuce everywhere, vegetables that looked like they hadn't been wiped off the counter for hours. It was just gross to see that type of a mess in a buffet line. The place was packed for a weeknight so I figured it was going to taste pretty good, or as good as salad buffet can be. The selection was mediocre at best, without too many options for salad toppings, and worst of all- the lettuce had seen its share of better days. It was wilted and browned. Plus if I remember correctly, there was an overabundance of iceberg lettuce and virtually no romaine and no spinach. The soup was equally as disappointing. One of the soups was so salty it almost seemed like it was a mistake, like they accidentally doubled the sodium in the recipe. Ugh. I tried the other soups thinking they'd be better but all of them tasted like they came from a mix, or something out of a can. There was no distinct flavor to anything. I left thinking, is this it? Even so, I returned a second time to see if maybe it was just an off-day, plus I needed another salad fix. Well, same story, different day- dirty restaurant, and questionable food.

I then ventured back up to the rabbit food. I chose to try the pasta salads (3 of them)and they were all good I also had two different potato salads that were also very tasty.As far as meat goes the choices are limited but they have a big pan of taco meat (browned hamburger)and all the taco fixings.I also had the vegetable lasagna it was alright. Then it was on to the sweets,always my favorite part of a meal. They have some cubed angel food cake which I put into a bowl and then added vanilla pudding and strawberries topped with whipped cream( yum) it was so good i went back and made another one,Then i had some soft serve ice cream with chocolate syrup,the soft serve was watery and not to good but it was the only thing i had that was below par.
