If you're looking for a completely seed oil-free restaurant, this is an excellent choice. All dishes are prepared with avocado oil or olive oil, which really sets it apart. Any fried food is prepared with an air fryer. I also appreciated how the menu clearly lists the protein content for each item--a thoughtful and useful detail. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and my waiter, Rudy, was especially polite and professional. The ambiance is another highlight, with pleasant lighting and quiet outdoor seating in the later evening. Highly recommend! read more

Killian and his trainee were awesome and did a great job taking care of us! I loved my food and had a great time!

Irena was a wonderful server! She was attentive, kind, energetic, and very accommodating with my dietary requests. She's the best!!

I stopped in for lunch today and had such a great experience. I sat at the bar and was served by Hannah, who was super friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit really enjoyable. I ordered the Korean noodle bowl and it was absolutely delicious full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Everything tasted fresh and comforting, exactly what I was hoping for for lunch. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the service really stood out. Hannah did an amazing job checking in and making sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend stopping by for lunch if you're in the area. I'll definitely be back! read more

I used to frequent this chain when I lived in Chicago. They always have really good food and healthy options unlike most restaurants. I truly enjoyed the sparkling prickly pear tisane and my friend enjoyed the O.G., although it was quite heavy on the ginger. The TrueTrio lunch looked like a great deal at $19.95 for 3 items, but we decided to go for the lasagne al pesto and poke bowl. I can't ever eat bolognese at any establishment besides True Foods because it is made with pork and True makes their dish with turkey. The poke bowl, while a little light was delicious and the fish tasted fresh. To top off our meal, we had warm chocolate chip cookies. I will be back soon as the pizza dough is made with sourdough! read more

True food kitchen is a pretty good spot for brunch. I got an almond milk latte and the avocado toast. The avocado toast was very fresh- but spicy! I wasn't expecting the kick. The little salad that came with it was very good- I enjoyed the cucumbers and the dressing a lot. My latte was average. They don't offer syrups or other milk alternatives- they just have the almond milk. The service was good and they gave a little gift to all the mothers for Mother's Day which I thought was darling. We parked in the garage under the Trader Joe's and there is also some street parking in the area. read more

True Food Kitchen - Avocado toast - New American Near Me - Austin, Texas

Really good food, bowls and salads , and some twists on traditional cocktails. Ancient bowl or chopped salad with a smoky old fashioned or grapefruit margarita. It's Austin , why not. Friendly service, good location by seaholm and the little dog area by Trader Joe's read more

Delicious healthy dinner option We tried the Brussels sprouts / incredible - loved the mushrooms and sauce I got the Korean noodle bowl with chicken - my favorite!! My husband got the burger and really enjoyed this too I got a side of the kale salad - so good!! I tried the gin cocktail with grapefruit juice - so refreshing and light!! We also tried the carrot cake but wasn't our favorite personally Service was great. Food came out quickly and the inside is very open and has nice decor. read more

Nice casual atmosphere downtown. Food was good but it took a while for a Sunday afternoon when it wasn't busy. The sides were plated well before the main part of the dish so the temp wasn't great for the sides. Burger tasted great and they let me order it because I didn't want a large meal. I consider the portions small except for the kid's meal. Friendly service but it seems they were short staffed for servers. read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today after walking the trail downtown. It had been a while since our last visit, but wow! The food was fantastic! We ordered the Mediterranean Breakfast Bowl, Brussels Sprouts, and my wife had an espresso martini. The bowl was incredible. All the savory flavors were pouring out of the bowl. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the tzatziki sauce was a great addition to the pickled radish, onions, chickpeas and snappeas. The Brussels sprouts were so good as well. There's like a garlic chili sauce they put on it that was amazing. We'd definitely order both items again. Service was great. We sat bar-top. The restaurant was kind of calm which was surprising since it was Friday. The restaurant had a cool vibe inside. If you're downtown, go check it out! read more

Great for foodies, fitness bros, people with allergies or food restrictions alike! It's a wide swath of the population that would be well served here, since the primary emphasis is on fresh, whole foods. Everything is clearly labeled, taking the stress out of eating vegan or gluten-free in a mixed crowd. You've got your grain bowls and salads of course, but there are also dumplings, pizzas, and cocktails, which feel like smart indulgences. It's upscale and nice enough to take your parents, or colleagues, or a date, or go solo all the same. It's always a good experience and even if you indulge, you don't walk away feeling like junk. read more

I dropped in for a lunch on my own and enjoyed sitting outside on the patio. The vibes of this place are super friendly and there's plenty of seating. I opted for the Mediterranean wrap with butternut squash soup and ofc a cookie. It was a decent meal that was more flavorful than I expected and my waitress was super kind! read more

After a day of exploring in Austin, my family recommended this place. They had tried it before and raved about it. To start, we had the edamame dumplings and the hummus. I have to say, I was so pleasantly surprised with the appetizers and the main dishes did not disappoint either! I had the poke bowl and devoured it all. Ingredients are fresh and quality of food is undeniable! Healthy and tasty! Their menu offers a great variety of choices from pizza, to salad, bowls, and much more! Service was prompt and great! Definitely returning and definitely recommend! Not to mention the welcoming and friendly ambiance and beautiful and earthy interior design! read more

Great healthy and tasty entree's. Restaurant is always clean and the service is top notch. Our server Trinity was superb.

Rather average today, as I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was on the small side for $19.50. The chicken was good but the sandwich didn't have much on it except lettuce and their house dressing. The fries were so hard and stale that I sent them back. Iced tea was good. Service was okay but I had to flag down servers because mine rarely checked on me. read more

We had an absolutely amazing experience. We came here for lunch with my two boys and my parents, and I was not disappointed. The service was incredible, and the food was amazing. I had the teriyaki chicken bowl with quinoa, which I devoured completely, and the boys shared the pizza, which was plenty for a 4- and 3-year-old. The ambiance was beautiful, considering we sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful day. We will definitely be returning soon. read more

Emily was our server and she did amazing. She made our group feel welcome, she was very attentive to our needs and even gave us some great recommendations on appetizers and entrees. She gladly took pictures for us at the end of our dinner. It was overall just a warm and cozy experience and we will definitely be going back to True Food! read more

Total crap. There grill was down and half the menu was unavailable. They could have told us ahead of time but didn't. Couldn't go anywhere else because all were booked. Ridiculous. read more

Trinity was amazing and so were her nails. There was a family sitting next to me that were slightly rude and she handled them with grace. Nice job, Trinity. I could never. read more

I went to True Food Kitchen for the first time in a while today and I thought it was very yummy! We were hungry before getting our groceries at Trader Joes and thought why not grab a bite nearby. I ordered the korean noodle bowl and my boyfriend got the all american burger. I thought both dishes were very tasty. I love glass noodles and I thought this one was pretty good. I did add some hot sauce on top to give it a little more flavor. I really liked the burger though, it was very juicy and flavorful. Our waitress was really nice and appeared at just the right times. I love eating at health concious spots so I will probably be back here again in the future to try different menu items. read more

Wonderful patio! Even on a hot day, the shade allows relief from the sun and due to the structure of buildings you'll be sure to catch some nice breeze from time to time. Lunch can get busy! Because there is so much seating it actually was busier than it appeared. Service was kind. Menu is committed to responsibly sources foods, highlighting prime ingredients. Health conscious. Keep in mind, food may be priced higher than alternative restaurants. Ironically, I ordered the Poke Bowl despite being across from a Poke spot. The weather was just too nice to not have something as refreshing as a Poke Bowl. The crispy chicken lasagna was very good!! Pro tip: HH starts at 3 PM M-F. Seasonal menus are taken seriously. For example, it's the end of September and their pumpkin latte is made with REAL squash pie...And not a syrup. Spaghetti squash was also served with the chicken Parm. read more

Tasty healthy food, good cocktails, and Trinity is amazing! .

Our server, Trinity, was awesome! Panang curry bowl was flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend.

Trinity was great! I didn't like the way you cooked the tofu in the ancient grain bowl.

Trinity was our server. She has served us on two previous occasions. I would like to thank her for the consistent service that she always provides. Trinity's smile and pleasant approach is the start of our dining experience. Another shoutout to TrueFoods for their wonderful tasting food. One of our favorite places to enjoy a tasty meal. Thanks for making eating out a pleasure. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I ordered this for a corporate lunch and was very upset that half my lunch order was not included. That being said the protein I did get, a side of blackened shrimp was delicious. I asked for a side of regular steak but that seemed to come blackened and overcooked but I ordered regular. My vegetables (the rest of my lunch) was missing lol read more

Came here for an evening dinner around 6pm. We placed a to go order and honestly, I wasn't feelin the vibe. I frequent the True Food kitchen in Houston and I know Austin in itself has a different vibe but this location looked stressed, overworked, and underpaid! We walked in and sat at the bar. The bartender looked at us two or three times before she actually acknowledged us which I thought was a little rude. There were only two other people at the bar. Maybe she was the only bartender but a "Hi, one minute," goes a long way. We told her we were placing a to go order and she said that there was a designated area. We ordered the meatloaf slider appetizer and a pesto pasta w grilled chicken. No drinks or anything else. It was about $45 and took a little over an hour. It seems like they serve a lot of DoorDash orders, but that was a little longer than we expected. There was no real "hospitality," it was like, "Here. Thanks. Bye." They have a medium sized dining area and they do allow dogs on the patio. Food was just ok. I wouldn't go back. read more

I would like to write a review the food, and service. It's a non-starter. It's 1 hr. later and I haven't received the order of fries, humus, nor the sandwich. As I walked in the informed me they had have burgers nor something else, but I thought I'd like to give them a chance. They had few customers when I walked in. How long does it take for humans or fries? I I write the review, still, no food. This will be my only business I give the restaurant. Never again. read more

Trinity had perfect service! Food was great! Loved it! Will come again. Thank you see you again!

I go back and forth between Chicago and Austin and because I always have a reliably good experience at TFK in Chicago, I keep returning here too by giving them the benefit of doubt. Unfortunately, after several failed attempts, I'm forced to write off the Austin TFK as a dining option. The service is mediocre, the food is tiny portions, the matcha latte has no flavors of actual matcha, prices are super high (which is fine if you're delivering a good satisfying product at least). The one plus is the patio seating on a good weather day. read more

amazing service. attentive and friendly. feel good , healthy food. Everything was spot on. .

Ordered delivery through Uber. Spicy panang curry and two kids chicken tender meals. Chicken tenders were burnt, kids did not want to eat them. Paid extra to add shrimp to my curry (I think $9) and it was awful, al.pst like shrimp jerky it was so overcooked. I love True Food when I go into a restaurant, I guess they are just not to be trusted with takeout. Will never order again. read more

Needed a quick bite during our trip to the Austin Public Library and decided to try True Food Kitchen. I was excited to check it out! We were seated quickly, but service was a bit slow--our waitress didn't greet us right away and just walked by saying she'd be back to take our order. When she finally returned, she didn't introduce herself or offer waters, but luckily, we already knew what we wanted. That said, the food and drinks were absolutely amazing, which made up for the service! read more
