    Peri Peri Chicken (seasonal) Sweet Potato Chips Tender Plate
    Meredith S.

    Popped in here for lunch after shopping. Service was very friendly, but a little slow. Food was very tasty! Perfect fresh light meal and the overall vibes of the restaurant match.

    Chinese chicken salad with salmon

    I will be concept behind true food and have been there a few times at different locations. While I generally have a decent experience at this particular one in the Avalon, I don't think I've ever had any occasion where it was consistently above. On this late Thursday evening, it was not very crowded and I got seated promptly. The server was friendly and brought my water over pretty quickly. I had to flag her down in order to order my salad and specifically instructed her how I wanted my add on salmon to be prepared. She agreed and seemed to understand, but the food was delivered with the salmon way overcooked. While they did attempt to rectify the situation with a replacement, the replacement was just slightly better and still overcooked, but I did not want to complain again. And she seemed preoccupied since I had to flag her down again just to get a refill of water. It seemed to take forever to even get my final check which I had hoped to have sooner so I could beat the impending storm. Unfortunately, she took so long that I ended up having to navigate a downpour afterwards. The salad was very unexciting, although the ingredients seem to be very appealing. Unfortunately, the chicken was really dry as if it had been sitting around for quite a while. With the restaurant being so empty, and several staff just hanging around, I'm very surprised at the lack of hospitality and food quality. Definitely so many choices that would be better considerations in this area.

    My husband and I dined at True Food Kitchen while shopping in the area. We opted to sit outside, but they also offer indoor seating. Jasmine was our server and she was great! She was super informative, helpful, and kind. We were pretty hungry, so we ordered right away. We ordered two Sparkling Prickly Pear Tisanes, the organic Tuscan kale salad with blackened shrimp and the teriyaki quinoa bowl with blackened shrimp. Everything arrived promptly, and it was fresh and delicious. From the service to the food, we enjoyed our dining experience. We look forward to dining here again!

    I love this place! Yes it is a chain but I feel staff here goes above and beyond to please customers! Perhaps my luck is such since Sebastian has been serving me every time and it has been just great every time!!! I am partial to Ancient grain bowls, Tuna Pome Bowl, Guacamole and Hummus. However - everything I had here was great!!! On top of it all - located in Avalon - location is good and spacious!!!!

    I love that True Food focuses on quality ingredients and has a lot of gluten free options. I believe they also don't use seed oil, which is a huge plus! They also have a patio which is fun for a nice day. Unfortunately, when we visited today, the service was extremely slow and our server did not check on us at all so we had to flag him down to let him know that our steak arrived cold and raw in the middle. It took such a long time to get the steak to the table, we didn't have time to wait on them to try and put it back on the grill or make a new one so we just asked them to take it off the bill (which they did) and then we left. It was strange because the outside seemed medium but the inside was raw! My sister had also ordered a dessert, the carrot cake, and after waiting 20 minutes for it she gave up also and decided to just check out and leave.

    Eve. Some of reviews are not so kind, we decided to give a try after looking through their menus. We had great food and service. Not so Kale fan husband really enjoyed their kale salad. My bowl was excellent! We will be back for sure.

    Tuna poke bowl
    Yvette M.

    Met a friend for dinner- she is vegan and I was not eating meat on Friday- so plenty of items to choose from on the menu. I got the tuna poke bowl which was good but small portion for what it cost. Also I ordered a green tea and took a while to get it and then the wrong drink came. They were quick to bring the correct drink. It was busy on a Friday night so glad we got a reservation. So if you have various dietary requirements, give them a try. There are several locations.

    Jambalaya Pasta
    Ken S.

    My wife and I ate here for the 1st time yesterday. She had the OG Juice with the Lasagna and I had the jambalaya pasta. Both were just OK, not bad but nothing special. The best thing was her OG juice which is ginger, lime and honey. The staff was fine and inside was clean. We were hoping for more but will return and try other items in hopes of a better culinary result.

    Spinach & Mushroom Pizza
    Dave B.

    We had two gift cards to use at Avalon today and we really enjoy True Food Kitchen. We FINALLY found a parking spot and made our way inside. It was early in the lunch hour and we were seated right away. Reece was our server who brought us water just after we sat down. We had pizza on our mind and found a new entry for Spinach and Mushroom which we ordered. It was amazing and did not last long ! We will be back for that selection again when nearby. Reece was awesome. Lunch & Beverages & Tip was $32.

    Spinach & mushroom pizza

    I've previously really liked True Food Kitchen but either it's gone downhill or we all ordered poorly, except my 6 year old who had cheese pizza. Hers was definitely the best. I had the seasonal sourdough butternut squash pizza & my husband had the spinach mushroom pizza. Neither had any cheese aside from dollops of ricotta on top, so all of the toppings fell right off. Neither had any flavor. At the very least they needed some salt. Mine could've done with some kind of herbs or a balsamic drizzle or something. They both just sounded much better than they were. My other daughter had the kids burger, which was decent, but the fries weren't even edible. They tasted like they'd been sitting out for several hours. For a kid to not even eat fries is bad. I like that they have healthier options but it was all just bad today.

    Happy Hour Menu

    True Food is a place that just feels special and unique when you walk in. I love the ambiance and warmth of the space. It was very busy when we went during the holiday break but we were seated quickly. Service was not bad and considering how busy they were, our server was really all over the place and moving the entire time. Our meal came out quickly and everyone was satisfied with that they ordered. The portions are on the smaller side. I do think it's a little pricier than the average place but it felt like a treat eating there and my mom loved it, which was all that mattered.

    Kale Aid
    Kris A.

    After seeing Megan 2.0 on a double date (which is really good by the way lol!!) we invited our friends to come to True Food which is their first time! It was a really great time with Jael taking good care of us. I mean REALLY good care w of us! She felt like an extension of family and gave great suggestions for food which our friends appreciated very much. I had the Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl with tofu and a kale aid. While I didn't have the old fashion (our friend did), he said no one else had gotten it right like this except for here. It was also super cool to film lol!! My partner and I are a regular, so we're married to the place

    Margarita Pizza
    Kaelyn C.

    Came in for lunch on a weekday and were sat immediately. Decided to try the sourdough margarita pizza. It was really good, the crust was nice and chewy and sauce was a bit on the sweet side. Service was pretty quick with a friendly staff. The restaurant was very clean, same with the restrooms. Great place to come for a quick lunch

After reading the great Google reviews, we decided to give it a try on Saturday, August 15, after 7:30 PM--and I'm so glad we did! We were seated right away, and the restaurant was very clean and welcoming. Our server, Candice, was absolutely amazing! Since it was our first time visiting, she made us feel right at home. She even brought us their homemade chips and dip complimentary, which was such a nice touch. Candice was friendly, attentive, and offered great suggestions throughout our meal. She truly helped make our first experience special. For dinner, we ordered the salmon ($38), which was a little pricey for this type of restaurant, but overall it was good. We also took advantage of the $15 special, where you can select from certain items and receive a dessert. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries with the S'mores Brownie for dessert--absolutely delicious! Our daughter ordered the chicken sandwich and upgraded to the onion rings. Everything came out hot, fresh, and tasty. Our only suggestion would be to add a little more seasoning to the onion rings and provide a few more onion rings with the upgrade. The portion of fries was much larger than the onion rings, so for an additional $2.50-$3, we feel the upgrade should include a few more onion rings. We also enjoyed regular soft drinks, water, a margarita, and a beer. Everything was good, and overall, we had an amazing dining experience. A special thank-you to Candice for making our first visit so enjoyable! She even provided us with a coupon to come back and visit again, which we definitely appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely consider returning! If you're in the area and looking for a clean restaurant with good food and excellent customer service, Lazydog is worth giving a try.

The restaurant is in a really nice area of town in Alpharetta with beautiful surroundings and really nice decor, just a really, really nice part of the city. We started off with the Louisiana spring rolls, Cajun crab dip, and a jumbo lump crab cake. The crab dip was really good, and honestly, all of the appetizers were excellent. For the main course, we had the Parmesan-crusted salmon, jumbo stuffed shrimp with crab, branzino, and blackened redfish. Everything was cooked to perfection, and everybody really enjoyed their dishes. The service started off a little slow, probably because we were waiting on one of our party members, but once things got going, we had impeccable service for the rest of the evening. Shout-out to Jason for taking great care of us! The mixed drinks were really good too. A couple had a little more ice than I would have preferred, but hey, it's summertime in Atlanta, so maybe that wasn't such a bad thing! Parking can be a little challenging. There is a garage on the side of the building, but I believe it's primarily for the apartment complex. We parked there and didn't get a ticket, but street parking was definitely a little difficult. All in all, we had a really good evening. The prices were reasonable, and they even offer a military discount, which definitely made the experience even better. If you're in Atlanta and don't mind taking a drive up to Alpharetta, I definitely recommend giving Coalition Steak & Seafood a try.

Unfortunately, this visit was the complete opposite. We were seated near the kitchen, which wasn't a problem. The restaurant had a soccer game on the TV, but it was quiet and there was no indication anything unusual was about to happen. Without warning, a group of approximately eight staff members gathered just a few feet from our table and erupted into an extremely loud celebration, screaming at the top of their lungs as if they were in a sports bar. The outburst startled us so badly that it literally sent my husband into atrial fibrillation (AFib). He was visibly shaken and extremely upset, and we were prepared to leave immediately. Our waiter could clearly see how distressed we were. Since we had already ordered the lobster bites appetizer, he kindly offered to move us to another table. We appreciated his effort and accepted. We finished the appetizer, but by then the evening was ruined, so we left and had dinner elsewhere. What disappointed us most was the complete lack of management involvement. Our waiter knew exactly what had happened and how upset we were, yet not once did a manager come to our table to apologize, ask if my husband was okay, or acknowledge that the staff's behavior was completely inappropriate for a fine dining restaurant. This wasn't about cheering for a game--it was about professionalism. Guests who choose a steakhouse expect a calm, enjoyable atmosphere, not to be startled by employees screaming just feet away from their table. We have always enjoyed Coalition, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope management addresses this with their staff so no other guests have their evening ruined the way ours was. We will not be back. Later Added: I just found out the Manager was one of the ones screaming. Pathetic! We went to PappaDeauxs which was half the price and honestly better food & calm atmosphere! Not a sports bar!

As a self-described foodie, I'm always searching for restaurants that offer creative, thoughtfully prepared dishes with plenty of variety. Foundation exceeded every expectation. I ordered every dish the staff recommended, and each one was outstanding. Julio provided attentive, knowledgeable service, and you can tell Chef Mel and his wife, Sandy, have poured their hearts into every aspect of the dining experience. Their attention to detail is remarkable--they genuinely care that every bite is exactly as it should be, and it shows. We started with the Crisp Spanish Octopus and the mushroom ravioli. Julio also suggested adding an order of bread to soak up the incredible sauces, and I'm so glad he did--not a drop was left on the plate. For my entrée, I chose the scallops, and they were cooked perfectly. I even skipped most of the accompanying beans to save room for dessert, which turned out to be one of the best decisions of the night. The blueberry olive cake with blueberry sorbet was phenomenal and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and refreshingly free of distractions, allowing the food and conversation to take center stage. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with incredible food, outstanding hospitality, and an environment where every detail matters, Foundation Eatery is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back. PS. I can't believe they have a burger on the menu. I'd try that based on everything else!
