    True Food stands behind their quality as non-GMO and healthy options. The food is tasty, but a bit on the pricey side. It’s a lot like an upscale diner atmosphere, trendy, and hip. They have unique dishes and pizzas and other offerings, as well as signature cocktails, and nonalcoholic drinks for a healthy option. Overall, True Food is yummy and with a visit!

    Thank you for your feedback, Denise. We're glad you enjoyed our tasty and unique offerings, and we appreciate your thoughts on the pricing and atmosphere.

    I love the concept .clean food no bad oils most organic . The place was lovely and clean. Our server seemed a bit overwhelmed but still not terrible. I like the food options there should be more thou. I don’t like the fact they don’t have French fries . If they had air friend fries or tallow fries would be wonderful . I think restaurants should have options for vegans, but I don’t think that they should focus on vegan for dessert. There were no options that were regular. That was upsetting.. I noticed that the quality of food is great, but the quantity of the food is very little we had to order a couple of entrées each. There should be more of a pizza selection on the burgers should be slightly bigger.. I like the fact that there were filtered water machines. And they had a lot of cool different refreshing non-alcoholic drinks. Like I said, the concept is really cool. I just think they need to fine-tune it a bit. I would definitely go back.
