Reviews
"LOVEEEE the food!! Highly recommend the chicken sandwich with kale salad. Will be coming back"
"Initially when I wrote a review it was to highlight the seemingly subpar experience. However, after the establishment responded to my post I was persuaded into providing another chance. Luckily so, because on my second trip I was particularly impressed with the range and quality of such establishment from the individualized customer service to their ever changing food options. The menu is filled with delicately handpicked ingredients accompanied with exceptional service seeking to actively improve your experience. Safe to say, I am fortunate to return and contribute to a restaurant interested in showcasing their growth."
"As longtime patrons of True Food, our recent dining experiences have left us increasingly disappointed. Having dined here many, many times for several years, we noticed that the restaurant reached its peak about a year ago. Unfortunately, small but significant changes have gradually undermined the unique appeal that once set this place apart. Originally, True Food's commitment to healthy eating was exemplified by their avoidance of potatoes, which they deemed not so healthy. This was particularly beneficial for someone like me with a rare potato allergy. However, recent menu changes suggest a shift towards more mainstream, financially driven decisions. The introduction of potatoes is just one of many alterations that suggest a move away from their health-centric ethos. Today's experience was particularly troubling. I ordered “Not my mother’s meat loaf” and specifically requested no potatoes due to my allergy, asking for sweet potatoes instead. Despite my explicit instructions, my meal arrived with a fingerling potato hidden beneath the meatloaf. This oversight not only displayed a lack of attention to customer requests but also posed a severe health risk to me. When I pointed out the issue, my dish was taken back to the kitchen only to be returned with the same meatloaf nervously given to me. I know because I had cut it in half. This clear disregard for cross-contamination protocols and basic food safety was shocking. After waiting over 30 minutes still no meal, with no satisfactory resolution, we decided to cut our losses and left. I ended up getting a California burger at Houston’s next door, which was, fortunately, excellent with NO potatoes. It is disheartening to see True Food lose its unique niche and quality of service. The restaurant seems to be prioritizing cost-saving measures over the quality and care that once made it special. Sadly… for those seeking a genuinely healthy dining experience, True Food no longer stands out as it once did. Just my thoughts. Hopefully they go back to basics. @vinopotato"
