“ We absolutely love True Food Kitchen! My husband and I have been coming here for a few years now, have brought several family members, recommend it to everyone we know, and it has truly become our favorite place to eat out. We drive all the way from Berthoud, and it is worth the trip! We both have multiple food allergies and special dietary restrictions, which usually makes dining out stressful and rare for us. True Food Kitchen has completely changed that experience. They are incredibly knowledgeable about cross-contamination, avoid seed oils, and offer so many gluten-free and dairy-free options. The kitchen is an open concept, so you can see the food preparation, which makes it an exciting atmosphere. For the first time in a long time, we feel normal going out to eat and that means so much to us. The food is consistently delicious. Some of our absolute favorites are the salmon, the steak, the grass-fed burger, the spaghetti squash, the prickly pear drink, and the gluten-free chocolate chip cookies with dairy-free vanilla ice cream. We always have the cookies warmed up and take extra home, they’re that good! I would love if coconut milk was added as a dairy option with the coffee selections though. Beyond the food, the service is exceptional. Every server we’ve had has been kind, helpful, patient and attentive. Most recently, Mason waited on us for Valentine’s Day and made the entire experience feel so special. Mason was warm, inviting, and created such a fun atmosphere for everyone in the section. I feel like the holiday was well staffed for how busy it was too! It truly made the holiday memorable. True Food Kitchen is truly the best restaurant. We’re so grateful to have found a place where we can eat safely, enjoy amazing food, and feel so welcomed every single time. It is always good to make a reservation too. Highly recommend! ”★★★★★Mackenzie Bajema · 3 months ago
“ I had a fantastic meal at True Food Kitchen, feeling nourished and satisfied. Servers Bailey and Jesse were welcoming, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, enhancing the experience. Started with the Hangover RX refresher—refreshing, zesty, and hydrating without excess sweetness. Mains included the juicy, flavorful grass-fed burger with creamy, spiced butternut squash soup, and standout Panang curry with plump wild-caught shrimp—aromatic, balanced, and mildly spicy. Ended with butternut squash pie: flaky crust, smooth spiced filling, and wholesomely sweet. True Food excels in healthy, tasty eats in a great atmosphere. Highly recommend—5/5 stars! ”★★★★★Joey Haight · 6 months ago
