Angel was an absolute joy, they gave us detailed information on our dinners, as well as offered up options with our drinks choices. At no point were they over baring with their service or too lackeds They found the perfect blend of service, and light hearted fun to make our evening wonderful. We will most certainly come back within the following week based on that alone, where as normally we come maybe once every few months. read more

Thanks so much for the farm to fresh food, generous marketing (coupon), and for the use of avocado/olive oil. Very cool experience here. I enjoyed trying the Hangover drink with the aloe Vera and sea moss! It had an interesting taste that tasted healthy lol which I love that! The air fried chicken tenders were interesting, a bit more burnt than I'd like. The sauces were different also not preference but interesting taste. It certainly tasted healthier. Angel was easy and kind and quick after I was finally attended to. I can appreciate being given a moment to settle myself while they cleaned before they came over to attend to me. Different than usual being hopped on as soon as you sit down I almost wondered if I was noticed but I think this is a good shift in service norm so keep it up. The interior is nice and sunlit like I like it! Not too bright of harsh lighting. I couldn't figure out how to enter though. I will be back. Go, enjoy!! read more

Was super excited to try this restaurant out as they practice sustainable efforts when serving food. I had the ancient grain bowl with air fried chicken tenders and my friend had the teriyaki bowl. I personally forget to remove the edamame from my order, but my overall portion was really good for the price. Misha, was efficient and helpful with every question we had for him. The place kind of reminded me of a rustic restaurant with the open seating and neutral tones. We also ordered sides and I fell in love with their cheesy mashed potatoes!!! read more

Love the kale salad. I would come back to true food for the food, the rest leaves room for desire.

The food is very healthy! The homemade ketchup was great with the homemade fries. The service was great very friendly and knowledgeable of their food. It's very comfortable inside and they offer outdoor seating. The buffalo chicken was awesome! read more

Very expensive and poor quality food that didn't taste good. The spaghetti squash casserole was ok, but a bit too tangy. The chicken parmesan was also sour, and the pasta was cold. The air-fried french fries were so oily and soggy - it felt like they were actually deep fried and were not pleasant to eat. I didn't care for the peri peri ketchup, either. None of our food came out hot and fresh. It's almost like they just microwave the food, since some parts are cold and some are warm. Service was fairly quick but just alright. They weren't friendly or inviting. We sat outside on the patio and didn't like how close the tables were to each other. It was so close that the person sitting behind me could've hit my head if they leaned back in their seat. I was not comfortable dining here. I remember eating a turkey burger here about 10 years ago and did not like it, but I wanted to give them another shot since they seem to have lots of healthy options. I was sorely disappointed by their food, service, and atmosphere and won't be returning. Highly DO NOT recommend!! read more

We loved coming here for trivia! We came a few times. I think my favorite item is the burger. I also really liked the hibiscus tea. It's not often you find hibiscus tea eating out. Service is very good and attentive. It is a large space with a bar up front. The restrooms are nice and clean. We can't wait for trivia to return. We will be back! read more

I stopped by with my boyfriend and another couple on July 4th around 5. Luckily there was free parking nearby, and it wasn't very busy (probably due to the holiday) so we were seated right away. We sat outside which was lovely. For drinks, I had the Rosé Sangria which was delicious and refreshing, but not very boozy. I'm a lightweight and I did not feel a thing after this one. I also had the Indigo, which I knew would be floral, but it was powerful. Tasted like a flower in a cup - not my favorite, but stronger than the first. My boyfriend had the Crime of Passion and this one was so yummy - it's got a sweet but tart flavor and will wake you up. We tried the Thai Shrimp Lettuce Cups and I was a big fan of these. I wish they gave a bit more because this was barely enough for two, so I wouldn't recommend sharing. But it was flavorful and so fresh! A delicious little bite. For our entrees, I got the Chicken Parmesan and my boyfriend had the Lasagne al Pesto. I thought my chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy, and it tasted like a classic chicken parm. I didn't mind the squash noodles but they are a little mushier than regular pasta. My boyfriend absolutely loved his lasagna and I thought it was a clever pairing of flavors. I would come back for the food, it's certainly fresh and reasonably priced. read more

Brussels sprouts are still king. Cauliflower appetizer was good but I like the Brussels sprouts more with the flavors. Had the lasagne like item and it was pretty good. Prices still high especially drinks. They look great but there's really only a few ounces of liquids. This is true of the non alcoholic drinks. Advertisement for "healthy" fare still there. read more

I've been here several times. Since it's known as a plant based restaurant a lot of my "meatier" friends won't go with me, but they have plenty of dishes with chicken and ... just come and check it out. Personally I am no vegan but I am in love with the food here. It's so delicious! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. And it's quiet enough you can have a conversation with your friends and not have to go home hoarse! They have outside seating as well. There a parking garage across the street and behind the building and on the street - street parking obviously gets gobbled up fast. There's plenty of shopping around her and this is a great place to stop for drinks, a snack, or a meal! read more

It was a rainy Tuesday evening when I met up with former colleagues at True Food Kitchen, craving something hearty yet wholesome. I started with the cauliflower appetizer, which came with dates--the smoky, grilled flavor paired with the sweetness of the dates was an absolute standout. For my entrée, I went with the grass-fed burger with mushrooms. It was flavorful and satisfying without feeling heavy, and pairing it with the air-fried fries gave me that comfort-food fix while still feeling a little lighter. My colleagues ordered the quinoa bowl and a shrimp and noodle dish, and both looked amazing! And they look like they enjoyed it. We capped off the night with a seasonal carrot cake which was moist with a creamy frosting, which was the perfect finish. Overall, everything was consistently good, from start to finish. True Food Kitchen continues to surprise me in the best way, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

We were looking for an outdoor venue, but the day was iffy. True Food Kitchen had the perfect setup. When it started pouring, the server lowered the clear shades to keep the rain from splashing in. Our server, Olivia was sweet ,efficient and attentive. My wife was impressed with the Matcha Tea, me not so much - just not my thing. The peach lemonade was fantastic! As some of you may know, I am a burger guy, and the Grass Fed burger was cooked perfectly as ordered, nicely presented on a multi seeded bun. The flavor was good but not exceptional. I had the butternut squash soup which had a creamy texture and delicious. My wife had the Chinese Chicken Salad which was a good balance between veggies and protein served with an exceptionally great tasting dressing. I recommend True Food Kitchen for casual dining. They have a huge fully stocked bar, although we did not partake this time. read more

Love the lively ambiance at the open, airy and attractively designed True Food. The restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. Service was excellent. What we really like about True Food is that their food is prepared with high-quality and healthy ingredients. We went with a friend who insisted on ordering both the brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters. These dishes were good. Of the two, the brussel sprouts were better. Unfortunately, my pepperoni pizza was poor. Yes, the pizza's flavor was very good but the Neopolitan-like crust was so soggy and thin that it had to be eaten with a knife and fork. But maybe that's how True Food wants their pizza, and other people prefer it this way. JP ordered a turkey burger. To cut back on carbs, JP requested and received a lettuce leaf as the bun. The burger was excellent, though the kale that came with the dish could have stood more dressing. Our friend, also wanting to restrict carb intake, requested the meatloaf entrée, but without the mashed potatoes. Myself, the boy from Idaho, could never say no to mashed potatoes. Our friend was surprised that the meatloaf only came with carrots. The server explained that the potatoes would have been the other vegetable. Our server graciously then brought our friend a bowl of steamed broccoli to supplement his dish. I tried the meatloaf and it was excellent, definitely prepared from high-quality beef. For a beverage I ordered iced tea. I didn't like that the tea turned out to be a fruity hibiscus variant. When I order iced tea, I like to get iced tea. But overall, our dining experience was very good. I do recommend making reservations. read more

i love sitting at the bar and have my meal. the ambiance is great and the gal who manages the bar is such good energy. Love the food. requests: bring wild caught salmon and not sustainable so many studies how toxic sustainable and farm raised are2. vital eggs owned by black rock if not mistaken and the food chickens get are corn. look into truly local egg that are pasture raised and organic and ensuring no corn is in feed. keep current on brands that are being tested and ensure you stay clear of low quality and toxic food even if they do great marketing to be known as true food. read more

I hate giving a negative review but I honestly cannot recommend this place. Came here to his evening with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. He ordered the Jambalaya Pasta and I got the turkey burger with fries. Neither of our dishes were seasoned at all... He said his pasta did not even taste like jambalaya (and I tasted a shrimp of his and it void of flavor). My turkey burger had zero seasoning whatsoever. The only flavor was from the sauce and cheese. My friend had no seasoning either and were pretty hard. For plates around $20 and up, I would at least expect some seasoning. Was pretty disappointed. I can at least say our server was very nice and the service was prompt. The atmosphere is also quite chill... However, I think in their effort to be "healthy" they have neglected taste and that is sad. For what we paid, I can't say it was really worth it. I don't think we will be back. read more

Stopped in for lunch with a friend as this is one of our go-to places. The food is always good and they are careful with food allergens, which is important for me with respect to gluten. I want to especially take a moment to say how great our server, Addison, was because the service was awesome!! read more

I came for a winter brunch, and I would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time! My party of 8 had a nice table in the back. Service: Our waiter was so slow and so inattentive. He did not bring waters, or take our orders for appetizers. We were sitting there for such a long time waiting for service. (Hence my 4 stars instead of 5) it was so frustrating! Our meal took 30-40 minutes to come out! Food: The food was the highlight though! The Brussels sprouts were charred and cooked to perfection! It feeds about 4 people so we ordered two for the table! It was lemoney and so so good! I ordered an avocado toast and this was by far the best one I've had at any restaurant!!!! It came with a side salad, which is too healthy for me haha but the bread was toasted to perfection and the egg and seasoning worked so well together! I dream of this!! read more

Ate here for lunch and dinner because I'm on this new diet and this place is seed oil free according to their menu. I thought the food here was very tasty considering it's a healthier alternative. I had the grilled salmon with sweet potato hash which had grilled onions and I thought it was great. We stayed a while at each meal and were never rushed. They even decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. This will be my go-to health food spot for the foreseeable future. They are also running a gift card special I would ask about read more

True Food is consistently one of our favorite restaurants to go to in the area. Our family is vegan and the options are stellar and delicious. We love the plant-based burger, the pizzas, the bowls, and the drinks. The cookie a la mode is one of the best desserts I've had -- the ice cream is so light and refreshing, I've never had anything like it. The ambiance is great and the service is always impeccable. Tonight we had Marianna and she was such an attentive and personable server, she made our experience great and played with our 15 month old son. Thank you Marianna and True Food! read more

I would give zero but you can't. We just left. Why? We were sat immediately and then sat at the table. For 8 minutes. My threshold is 5 minutes ... 5 minutes without a server acknowledging, we leave. So I gave them an extra 3 minutes for benefit of the doubt since it was our first (and last time). We sat there looking at the menus and watching others get served. Must be nice. Is it a discrimination thing? They don't like serving Asians in their restaurant? Do I have bring that up? Everyone else was getting served. ‍ We just got up, walked out the door but I did let the host know that no one acknowledged us and that we are leaving. He had a dumbfounded and shocked look. I guess there is a first time for everything! LOL... As we were leaving, some nice lady apologized on behalf of them. I told her please don't apologize for them. They don't even care. I was going to spend at least $60 on dinner. Lost revenue and bad publicity for them from this Yelp Elite reviewer. drop read more

So I go to this place thinking I'm getting something clean, something fresh, something with a pulse. Instead, everything tasted like it was terrified to have a personality. And the room doesn't help. You get the obligatory wood-beam ceilings, all light and airy, like they're trying to convince you you've been magically transported to California. Newsflash: we are not in California, and no amount of reclaimed lumber is changing that. The waiter comes over -- overly chummy, instant-best-friend energy -- and he launches into his whole routine. I'm polite, but inside I'm thinking, I'm good on friends. Let's just see the drink. The cocktail arrives and it's basically a kid's juice box with a driver's license. Sweet, flat, uninterested in being an adult beverage. After my "bestie" finishes praising his "life-changing" appetizer, the edamame dumplings land on the table -- allegedly sitting in "dashi," with Thai basil and sesame seeds sprinkled like stage props. There was about as much Asian direction in that bowl as there is on a farm in Kansas. One bite in and I genuinely had no idea what I was eating. Whatever it was, it wasn't good. Confused, bland, and somehow both heavy and pointless. And the rest of the menu? On paper, it reads great -- the same way a hospital brochure reads great... until you're the patient. In reality: under-seasoned, uninspired, and priced like it thinks it's doing you a favor. And if you need the word "sustainable" fifty times on one menu, you don't just need to train the chef -- you need to hire someone who can actually write a menu. I took one sip, one bite, and said, "That's enough of that." I left and found a real restaurant -- the kind that knows food isn't supposed to feel guilty for having flavor. read more

This is my third time here. Good environment, great for conversation and enjoy time with your company here. The servers are very nice, would repeat just for the service here.

The bowls consists of very fresh quality ingredients, giving you a refreshing feeling after finishing them. read more

Lance provided us with excellent service at the restaurant. He was pleasant, polite, and answered all our questions. In addition, the restaurant is very clean and well organized.

The pizza was amazing, and the kids' meal was huge. We will definitely be coming back again. read more

I have driven by True Food Kitchen many times and finally decided to give it a try. Even though we had reservations we were left standing for a few minutes while tables and servers were sorted out. Once seated, we were greeted quickly and provided drinks. I had the chopped salad which was fresh and enjoyable. The meat loaf sliders lacked flavor and I was disappointed. Others in our party order the filet with cheddar cheese mashed potatoes and gluten free blueberry pancakes. Everyone else were pleased with their entrees especially the pancakes. Our waiter was great and attentive. For a busy Sunday brunch, he was on point and made us feel like we were his only table. read more
