Highly recommend!
July 21 · Viz RitzTrue Food Kitchen is my favorite “Go To” spot!The fresh organic food is flavorful and the atmosphere is bright and airy. They always have delightful vegan options on the menu too. This is a dream come true for me. It seriously feels like a much healthier version of eating out, one that you can feel good about!I was there 2 times this week. On my last visit, our waiter Kevin worked very hard to ensure that our meal & dining experience were fantastic! We are grateful for this.The pics speak for themselves. Go, but make sure that you leave room for dessert.
September 12 · Janet AGreat place to grab lunch and/or dinner. The restaurant portrays more of a healthier concept of food, but still offer a variety of different foods. The food tasted fresh and “organic” if that make sense (the flavors taste was not oily or high in salt). The drinks are amazing are delicious from cocktails to mocktails, to fresh juices and spritz’s. The menu consists of different appetizers, bowls, air fried chicken sandwich’s and French fries to delicious entrees.
August 09 · Jennifer CapellanWent here for sunday lunch, the food came out fast and everything tasted really good.
June 08 · Nikhita ClereTrue Food Kitchen is one of those places you go to almost every day for a good meal. The high-quality ingredients and delicious dishes make you want to go there even if it's just one of their desserts whenever you're nearby. Add to that the friendly staff, always willing to help and make you feel comfortable. For example, waiters Gustavo and Israel are there. Ask for them and they'll provide exceptional service.
