“ Stopped here while in the area traveling for work. Food was great, I had the charred cauliflower for my app, and the tuna poke bowl. I also ordered the fries to try the house-made peri Peri ketchup, it was awesome, so much so, I asked for more Peri Peri ketchup. Just a heads up, they don't have any soda products, so if you are like me and need that carbonation you get from a soda, you won't get that here. I don't drink much soda, but when I eat out, I like to have a diet Coke or coke zero with my meal. Even though the food was great, the no-soda is a deal breaker for me, I know it seems ridiculous, but it's not hard to keep cans in the fridge for those that prefer it. First restaurant I've been too while traveling for this job and eating out every day of the week that didn't have soda product. They get a great review, five stars across the board for the food for sure. I was going to come here with my co-workers one night this week, but they too like to have a soda with their meal. Seltzer drinks just aren't the same. ”★★★★★Don Valentine · 2 months ago

“ We came for lunch. Unlike some other healthy food places I have been, True Kitchen provided a relaxing environment with a spacious eating area and tables farther apart which was great for conversations. We had Ava, who took great care of us, checking back on us but not interrupting all our talking and catching up. The organic, grass-fed hamburger came with a salad or fries or maybe another healthy option, but I got the fries. We shared a kid's meal blueberry pancake which had some protein, not just flour. The lavender matcha latte was nice, a gentle fruity sweet undertone, not too sweet or too lavender. We were there talking and watercoloring for a few hours, and it wasn't too busy so we felt okay staying so long. True Kitchen made for a really nice place to meet friends to catch up, and we will return. ”★★★★★Claire WithLove · 2 months ago
