Salad
Ziad M.

If you're looking for a meal that satisfies your comfort food cravings without leaving you feeling heavy, the lineup at True Food Kitchen hits the mark perfectly. The Food The Chicken Parm: A standout dish. The chicken is perfectly tender with a light, crisp exterior that holds up beautifully against the rich marinara sauce. The melted cheese on top adds just the right amount of indulgence, keeping the classic flavor profile intact while feeling incredibly fresh. Air-Fried Fries: A total game-changer. They deliver all the satisfying, crispy texture of a traditional fry but without the greasy aftermath. Perfectly seasoned and guilt-free. The Side Salad: The ideal counterpart to the meal. Crisp, vibrant greens tossed in a light, bright vinaigrette that cuts through the richness of the chicken parm and refreshes the palate.

Lunch specials
Rebekah D.

Service was very friendly, seemed knowledgeable about the menu items. The only thing that I didn't like is that each item I asks about, she said it was really good, which usually something is not. She did mention that she prefers another salad over what I selected, and I like when servers tell me their favorite items. It definitely seems like a place for a business lunch, I went by myself and actually quite a few people were there by themselves in case you're shy about dining in by yourself. It was fairly busy for a Monday morning lunch. I originally was going to get their lunch special to go bc I have stuff to do, but they said it wasn't available to go. Since I did actually have time to sit for a bit I decided to dine in. (It says dine in only on the bottom of the menu but my brain conveniently skipped over that part) When they seat you they stick a white card on the table that the server picks up after they've come to the table. I feel like it's a subtle thing that clues in the servers about which tables they've been to, especially on a busy night. I had an iced matcha with almond milk. It was sweet, but not too sweet. Matcha grade seemed on par with what I'd expect in a matcha beverage. Lunch special was $20 for a drink, main and side. Some stuff was a surcharge. I had the burger and Chinese chicken salad. Drink was a pink dragon fruit lemonade which I knew my mini mini would love, so I saved it for her. I thought it was a little tart for me, she thought it was amazing. The burger- I requested to add pickles bc I love them. It was cooked nicely, flavor was decent. I'm a huge fan of white cheddar. The sauce, per the server, was ketchup and Mayo, and they didn't drown the burger in it, so that was good. I think they make their pickles in house and tbh, I know I would have liked the burger less without pickles. I think it needed a tiny bit of acidity for balance. It was a $5 surcharge. Overall I enjoyed it, 8.5/10 The Chinese chicken salad was a hearty salad, and a lot of beautiful colors and textures. Watermelon radish is so pretty in this. The carrot ginger dressing wasn't over the top with ginger. I think the natural sweetness of the carrot really tones it down. The toasted quinoa, I could take it or leave it, but it didn't taste bad, I'm just not a huge quinoa fan. 8/10, and a $2 surcharge. So, if you want to get it as close to $20 before tax and tip, don't get anything that they have a surcharge for, but I liked what I got, it came to under $40 before tip. I wanted to try the kale aid but I'll get that next time. (A $5 surcharge if you get the lunch option) Another plus- I think the straws are biodegradable but they are not the paper straws that dissolves 2 sips in. Yay! The chocolate chip cookie- to me it tasted like they put banana in it. If you're hoping for a chewy chocolate chip cookie, this is not it. It's thick and fairly soft. It reminded me of when people make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies- similar texture. The tcho chocolate in it was good, but I didn't like the actual cookie dough that much. Mini mini thought it was so good, but she also thought it tasted like banana was in it. I think it was a 6/10, mini mini would give it an 8/10. So, about a 7/10. Restroom was relatively clean, had a baby changing table in the stall if needed. The floor seemed a bit sticky though. Would I come back? Yes when I'm in the area, I don't live close by.

Nice ambience and decent menu but as to the experience a total disappointment and will never come back. I don't have too many poor reviews. Margherita pizza could have come out of a frozen section and was warm if not cool like it had been sitting for 10' or so in the back. Steaks was bland and tough and also like it had been sitting post cook 10' We must have waited 20' for our tiramisu. Waiter had to be flagged down for order, and where our meal, drinks and dessert was coming . Can't wonder why he'd want to face us if it takes 2 and half hours for a two course meal. We gave up on desert Avoid this place!

so nice  carrot cake
Jessica C.

I forgot how much I love this place. I was starving and hoping for some plant based grub. I managed to order direct from TrueFood for delivery, of course it came from a 3rd party driver BUT I didn't have to sign up there to order. SCORE! Plant Based burger - delicious, even luke warm because I am further and it's chilly today. Carrot cake - also delicious, saved half, helped me realize how hooked on the sug I am these days. Very excited for some mashed potatoes (that was my side for my burger) later and their Korean Noods. Oh man, it's been too long. They packaged it all so well that even after arrival it looks beautiful (carrot cake picture before devouring occurred)

Ancient Grains Bowl, Chicken
Bryan N.

Had lunch at True Food Kitchen Biltmore and it absolutely delivered. I ordered the Ancient Grains Bowl with chicken and it was spot on. The balance of flavors felt clean and intentional without being boring. The chicken was tender with a nice char, the veggies were fresh, and everything worked together instead of competing on the plate. You can tell they care about quality ingredients and thoughtful prep. The space is bright, comfortable, and easy to have a conversation in, whether you're meeting friends or sitting down for a quick business lunch. Service was friendly, food came out fast, and the overall vibe made it easy to slow down and actually enjoy the meal. If you're in the Biltmore area and want something that tastes great but still leaves you feeling good after, this is a solid choice. I'll definitely be back.

Teriyaki
Michael B.

I got to eat here with two baby boys, a 5 year old boy, and two grown men. My shaken iced coffee was tasty, but far too tiny for the price. Our server was very responsive and on top of her stuff. The outdoor seating was perfect for us with all the shade. Our food was satisfactory

Hannah Z.

Our server Sam was so nice and fun! I came with my family on a Sunday morning around 11am, we were seated right away since they weren't too busy. We ordered the hummus which was sooo delicious, I think I hogged it from the rest of my family lol. Price-wise, the menu wasn't TOO crazy. What I really love about this place is that it really helps for someone who is trying to be more health conscious / trying to track protein & calories (all visible on the menu). As someone who's been trying to be more mindful of diet and health, this place was a relief. One critique would be that the first dish in these series of photos (I can't remember the name, sorry!) was too salty. Other than that, the food was delish and the vibe was chill and clean!

Debbi P.

Fresh, healthy menu and always made exactly how you like it!! They are so cognizant of food allergies and preference. Best waitstaff that are sooo friendly and patient. Lots of options for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian as well if any dietary restrictions. Perfect menu choices, and they are always updating with seasonal offerings. Dine in with indoor and outdoor seating or takeout.

Jambalaya pasta
Elsie M.

A few friends and I chose this spot for an early dinner before attending a concert recently, based on convenience of location and that they were one of the options in the area that were listed on the inKind app. On this visit, instead of sticking to my usual order, I decided to try something different, an item off the seasonal menu. I ordered the apple lemonade and the jambalaya pasta. The apple lemonade was a bit more sour than I had anticipated but it wasn't bad. The jambalaya pasta had a nice kick of spice to it, the pasta was not over or under cooked and there was surprisingly a good amount of protein in this dish. Overall, service was fast and efficient. Like other locations, this one is similarly decorated in furnishing and color scheme. Since we were headed to a concert afterwards, we had decided to make reservations for an earlier time, but they were already quite busy when we arrived, so I highly recommend making reservations if you're thinking about dining here.

Tried True Food Kitchen and had a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and super healthy. Biggest highlight was our server, Stormy. She is super friendly, attentive, and really on top of everything. Definitely coming back

Here's the updated version:…read more Tacos Vegonos is hands down the best vegan Mexican spot I've found, and I'm picky! Growing up on San Diego taco shop street food, I have a high bar for Mexican food, and this place hits home in a way nothing else around here does. The selection is unbeatable -- there's literally nothing on the menu that isn't good! I used to eat here one to three times a week. My work schedule changed and now it kills me that I can't get out as often, since they're in central Phoenix and I'm out in far East Gilbert. But trust me -- this place is absolutely worth the drive. The birria is my go-to on anything, and I'll often do a 50/50 split on the nachos or the fries -- both are killer! I remember when they were just a taco truck, and the food was amazing then too. Moving to a brick-and-mortar didn't change a thing -- same incredible quality, same fantastic customer service every single visit. Worth your money and worth the trip, even if you're not vegan! It may not be the healthiest ingredients, but the flavor more than makes up for it. Go taste it for yourself -- you won't regret it! Want me to tweak anything else?

I was so excited to go to Tacos Veganos after reading all of the amazing reviews. I took my mom…read morehere on a Friday evening around 6pm. I was glad we got there when we did because shortly after we put our order in there was a line almost to the door. It is counter service so you kind of need to know what you are getting and everything looks so yummy it was super hard to decide. I got the AZ burrito with birria, which is made with jackfruit. It's meant to be like pulled pork. It was huge and very messy. They tortilla was very rubbery but the filling was good and I think there were French fries in there? Maybe that is what makes it an AZ burrito? Overall the flavor was good but it needed something else like beans or guac. It just tasted very one note. Also I got the horchata. It was delicious. My mom got the surf and turf taco. Again the tortilla was tough to eat so she got a fork and a plate and tore into it. This one had the "asada" soy steak and then breaded and fried pieces of cauliflower. The fake meat was not that good. It was too salty and so was the rice. The cauliflower although tasty was so big it was hard to eat. Overall it was good but not as amazing as I had wanted it to be. I likely won't go out of my way to come back.

I settled on the Rotisserie Chicken which came with a side of onion rings. I'm a big pesto fan and loved the buttermilk pesto for dipping. I had a nice time and look forward to a return visit.
