Food is always great!! Service is also friendly! Tonight was take out night but Leigh and Abby made sure I felt welcomed and that everything was perfect! read more

My favorite part about True Food is that I can eat so much and still feel great after. The kale aid is my favorite but I love all of the refreshers. This time I didn't get any dessert, but last time I got a vegan brownie with a scoop of vanilla icecream that was phenomenal. Everything in this photo is vegan as well, but they have plenty of non vegan options. I didn't take a photo but also had edamame dumplings that I could eat an endless amount of. If you're looking for a funny healthy place, this is for you. It's a little bit expensive, but very nice interior, staff, and again very healthy food. Definitely worth trying at least once! read more

We had a great experience at True Food Kitchen! We started by splitting the charred cauliflower, which was outstanding--the sauce was absolutely delicious and really made the dish. My wife ordered the spaghetti squash casserole with tofu and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the seasonal market salad along with a cup of autumn squash soup. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and it was filling without feeling heavy. The menu had so many other items that sounded amazing that it was hard to choose. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for fresh, flavorful food! read more

I visited for the first time to True Food. I loved how open and plenty of seating they had. We were seated right away. Our server Jessica was great. I got the lasagna al pesto and it was ok. I've had better pasta. The skinny margarita was deliciously made. I would come back and be open to trying other things on the menu. read more

Ambiance and atmosphere gives working cafe/ quick business meeting lunch spot. Restaurant is spacious.. Our server was nice and friendly. Menu wasn't impressive unless you're a big veggie person.. Solid burger cooked well and seasoned nicely.. fries weren't worth the up charge pretty basic nothing special about them.. dragonfruit lemonade was very underwhelming super tart not worth the $6 Not something i would try again. read more

Our waitress was really kind and was a great guide to the menu. Unfortunately the food on offer and our actual order fell well below expectations. My wife and I split the Air Fried Chicken tenders and fries, after coming off from a big brunch earlier in the morning. The chicken was fine but was seriously lacking flavors and crisp, and the fries might have been the worst I've ever had at a restaurant. Raw, un-seasoned and floppy all around. I know this place is aiming for high protein and macro focused meals, but the adherence to this is detrimental especially with the absence of traditional sodas. Their alternatives were just not cutting it for our party. Just not an enjoyable experience for the tastebuds. read more

True Food Kitchen - Chicken Tenders and Fries - New American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We came here because we were shopping at Saint Johns Town Center. They had all the doors / windows open so inside was the same temperature as outside. If you're walking around outside doing shopping and you want to come inside the cool off, this is not the place to go. The food was good. It wasn't the best I've ever had and it wasn't the worst. My husband got a buffalo chicken sandwich that was 3 stars. Wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to rave about. I'm not sure what these sides were that came with it, but I do know that french fries weren't up charge and they were extremely bland lacked salt and were cold. I got a salad because it said that it had carrots and cauliflower and I added chicken but honestly, it was mostly spring mix. The other salads said that it was Green and Spring mix. This one did not so I was hoping for it to be more vegetables and not so much spring mix. If there was two florettes of cauliflower cut up in there that was a lot . The service was definitely five star. We sat at the bar and there were two people work in the bar and they were both very attentive and one of them made up extra of a green kale drink and gave us a little sample, which was quite fabulous Honestly, moving forward whether to go in here or not would depends on whether all of the doors were open going to the outside. The dumplings with the edamame were really good, but that's also more about the liquid broth that's in it. You can't just eat the dumplings so I think each item has its own quirk. I have no idea why on a hot day they would have all those doors open and not have the AC running for the people inside that wanted to be cool. Maybe they did have the AC running but with the doors open, it would be pointless. read more

Love their concept! Super healthy and great for the environment.... My favorite dishes were the Asian shrimp (great flavors and full of different textures to make it a party in your mouth) and the pizza because the crust was AMAZE~balls!!! The edamame dumplings had great flavors (hint of truffle oil) but the dumpling wrapper was way overcooked and mushy. The only reason why they didn't get 5 stars was due to the service, it was pretty terrible. We came around 4pm and there were only 4-5 other tables in the whole restaurant, so no reason for the bad service. I didn't get to order my entree until way after the appetizer got there, we listened to the phone ringing for 10+ minutes while the bartender was behind the bar not doing anything. They should train their staff better. I would still return for the food. read more

We made brunch reservations for my birthday. I was so excited! We made it in and were seated, then it took up to 20-25 minutes for our server to appear. We tried getting the attention of an employee "working" the section, who responded to our request for beverages with "I'll get your server." The restaurant was "busy" with an above average noise level, pick ups, and music. When our server finally appeared, he was nice with a bright smile. My mom & I were set to order Pomegranate mimosas, but found out that they were out. She ordered a Moscow mule w/pomegranate, my dad ordered a Spicy (zero) Margarita and I had the True & Crisp Citrus cocktail. The zero margarita could have used some salt on the rim to help offset the 0% tequila in the drink. My drink had warm rye whiskey, sour mix with a cinnamon stick & lemon garnish...it was okay. We began with guacamole and pita chips, which was surprisingly good and more guacamole than chips! Our entrees were the Jambalaya pasta (mom), Farmer's hash with a side of steak (dad) and Wild-caught shrimp with regenerative black rice, edamame, scallions, mushrooms in a ginger soy vinaigrette. That vinaigrette was love! My rice was a bit gummy but the dish, overall, had a nice bit of spice and firmness to the shrimp. My parents seemed pleased with their dishes until my dad asked for jelly to go with his toast. They offered honey, which seemed to satisfy. He also requested salt & pepper. Then, finally, for dessert, I, the Birthday Girl, ordered the chocolate chip cookie a la mode and requested the coconut whipped cream and caramel sauce while the parents shared the carrot cake with mascarpone and candied orange slices... I sampled the mascarpone, which tasted like cream cheese. But, my dessert had vegan vanilla ice cream and coconut whipped cream - literally the best part of the dessert with the caramel drizzle. The cookie was a big clump and very dry. Our server asked if I'd like another but I declined. Overall, I would not be too inclined to return anytime soon. I picked it for a birthday brunch and enjoyed the company most. read more

I came less than a week ago with just my kids after church. And it was so amazing and everything tasted so fresh that I had to bring my boyfriend back after just a few days. Today, the edamame dumplings didn't taste very fresh though, and they were a winning point when I came here the first time... ( I mean literally jaw on the floor good!). It tasted like the edamame were old and sour and the dumpling filling had the same taste. I'm sure it was an unfortunate mix up but overall: great place, great atmosphere, clean, friendly staff, and good food. (Their squash soup is also amazing!) read more

True Food Kitchen is an extremely well thought out and delicious dining experience. The restaurant is beautiful outside and inside. It's elegant but simple inside. Great use of earth tone of green and brown along with wood floors and walls. There is every type of seating booths, tables both small and large. You can see into the kitchen and drink station and it's done in a way that just adds to the decor. We were seated immediately with our reservation and waited on with water soon after. There is no soda served here, just their own drink blends along with alcohol drinks. We had water and decided to try their drinks another time. Everything is fresh, locally sourced and delicious. I had the jambalaya pasta and it was really good. Slightly spicy, the shrimp and chicken cooked to perfection and the "holy trinity " hit just right. My wife ordered the farmer's scramble off of the brunch menu and it was amazing as well. The true star of our meal may have been the sweet potato chips. Just the perfect crunch, the exact right amount of salty and sweet...fantastic. The fries were solid, the sauce was unique, tangy and a great accompaniment. Our lemon blueberry muffin was just a bit dry. Average in a meal that was otherwise stellar. Because they use such fresh ingredients and cook it in ways that are a bit more healthy, I left feeling full but not overly stuffed or bad. If you haven't tried True Food Kitchen, I highly suggest you do. There's something for everyone and everything is done well. read more

Updating my review from 4 to 2 stars. Went recently for brunch and ordered the orange juice with the tofu scramble (I've ordered the same thing 3 times before). The orange juice had a weird after taste, almost like the juicer or the glass had other stuff inside and was not properly rinsed off. Tofu scramble was half the portion size as the previous ones I've had, and it didn't have the sauce at the bottom this time for some reason, so it was very dry. Toasts that it came with were completely burnt. Services was good but the food was terrible this time. read more

Finally made it in. Place was spacious all interior is the same. I recall going go one a while back in Los Angeles. This one had a different feel, once we walked in, it took a minute for us to be "acknowledged" workers glanced at us but did not speak to us. Once seated our waitress came, we ordered. Here is my rating on the following dishes ordered. * Kids burger 10/10 (juicy juicy juicy) * Fries 3/10 (cold, and wilted, not crispy) * Chicken Parmesan ( 8/10 chicken) (6/10 pasta) * Quinoa Bowl 10/10 flavorful, quinoa was cooked perfectly! * Edamame Dumplings 1/10 (flavorless, not good at all) * Drinks 8/10 the ginger one was good, and so were the dragon fruit lemonades. The prickly pear was tart too tart * Flourless Chocolate Cake 10/10 yummy, fudgy, delicious $132 was the total for 4 people to each have a drink, a meal, and dessert, plus 1 appetizer. Fair price, but food sort of didn't hit it for me. Explanation was the burger was super juicy and full of flavoy, but the bun was dry and tasted like sandpaper. The chicken on the parmesan was good, but the noodles were cold and interesting no flavor and very airy. I may give it a try again. read more

Stopped in here for dinner on a Friday night with my brother and his wife, we thought it would be a good choice for her because she is gluten and dairy free. We made reservations cause we thought it was going to be super busy, but there was only about three or four tables busy when we got there. It didn't get any more crowded as we went along. So the server was very friendly, they offered us sparkling tapwater from the bar or bottled sparkling water or some hand squeezed juices, which were pretty good. The food was OK. I thought most of it was pretty bland. I was excited for the butternut squash soup, but it was really quite tasteless. It also had no dairy in it so it had no body. The glass noodles were OK, but they weren't great, it was quite expensive for what you get. The carrot cake was interesting and unique, I can't say it was great, but it was OK. You know part of this might just be because there was no gluten and no dairy in a lot of of the food. The ambience was nice, the store was very clean, I just feel like they could do better with the flavors. My sister-in-law loved it. She's kind of used to things that don't necessarily taste that good because she doesn't eat gluten or dairy lol. I would take her there if she wanted to go again, but I wouldn't go without her. read more

We dined in on a reservation and were seated about 10-15 minutes after our reservation time. Our service was fast and courteous. The lemonade was crisp and not too sweet. The dumplings were delicious but the sauce was the highlight of the dish. The avocado toast was on a piece of sourdough that was well toasted and reasonably sized. The Mediterranean bowl had a zesty tzatziki that was a standout. Overall we had a good experience. read more

I love True Food Kitchen! My favorite item to get is the Plant-Based Double Cheeseburger. It is SO GOOD. I love that I can eat this burger and feel good about the ingredients in it. I also tried the air fried French fries with a side of ranch which was delicious. The French fries do come with a side of peri peri ketchup which has a tangy flavor and tastes great. We also got the Brussel sprouts which I liked but not as much as the burger. I am already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Fresh and delicious food, great service and clean and bright restaurant. We have thought about dining here a few times and finally did. Now we are wishing there was a location closer to us in Riverside. We came on a Sunday and were able to choose from the brunch or regular menu. As a big fan of sweet potatoes, I was happy to try a few menu items. The sweet potato chips were fantastic, I just wish there were more! Light and crispy without being greasy. For my entree, I chose the Farmers Scramble. Good amount of Scrambled eggs, roasted sweet potatoes, onions, peppers with some cheese. It was delicious and really satisfying. We also tried the lemon blueberry muffin and the apples r fried French fries with Peri-peri sauce. The muffin was good, especially the parts with blueberries which helped the moisture. The pieces without blueberries were a little dry. The fries were just okay but I loved the sauce. My husband enjoyed his jambalaya pasta too. A couple of things to note, they offer beer, wine, and cocktails, but no soda products. They have other non alcoholic drink options including refreshers. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. read more

My husband made a reservation at this beautiful restaurant at St. JOHN'S TOWN CENTER for today. We arrived around 10:30 and were seated at one of the tables along the wall. The place is very bright, airy and colorful. Our server provided us with both the regular menu and the brunch menu. There were plenty of options to choose from. I opted for the Chinese chicken salad. It had grilled chicken chunks, avocado, cabbage, ginger, bok choy, greens, watermelon radish, cilantro, and a ginger carrot dressing. It was very flavorful. I did need an additional dressing with the salad, which they quickly brought out. My daughter had the mediterrean breakfast bowl. It came with jammy eggs, tomatoes, chickpeas, cucumbers and watermelon radish. My husband had the wild caught shrimp dish. It came with black rice, mushrooms, edamame, snap peas, and cilantro. He really enjoyed his dish. My mother in law had blueberry pancakes. read more

3.5 stars I really enjoy the concept behind True Food Kitchen and love their bowls and flatbreads--fresh, flavorful, and creative. That said, I've had stomach issues after eating here on two separate visits, which makes me a little hesitant to come back. Service can also be hit or miss depending on the day. I want to love this place more because the menu has so much potential. read more

Love the service and food. Great restaurant with great healthy choices. Highly recommended

We love this restaurant and go every time we shop here. Which is why it was surprisingly not up to par this time. We shared the hummus, which was great. The entrees and sides were a different story. The chicken parm was bland- no seasoning. The pasta was awful. And the sauce on it had zero flavor. The $6 tiny dish of "cheesy mashed" was embarrassingly under seasoned. Also, it was no mashed. It was chunks of potato with very little cheese. I'd be embarrassed to sell this for $6. My wife's burger had no seasoning either. Bland she said. We had a waitress who really seemed to rather be doing something else. Def an off day for True. We both said we'd try a different rest next time. read more

My daughter suggested that we go there for lunch and I'm so happy I did. I ordered Roasted Butternut Squash soup and Edamame dumplings since it was so cold outside. Both dishes were phenomenal. My daughter ordered the grass fed burger and she said it was delicious. The food is so fresh and good and the service was excellent even though it was very busy. I will definitely go back to try some of their other dishes. The style of the restaurant is minimalist but very clean and classy. I loved it. I didn't think to get a picture. read more

The good: the Spaghetti Squash Casserole was amazing! The sauce was rich and tasteful! The pesto pasta was also amazing as was the hummus. I ordered a side of chicken breast and it tasted funny? Looked down and saw it was uncooked. The pizza was okay (think a Step below California pizza kitchen). Wish it was more of a charcoal Italian style. Didn't have much flavor. Cocktails were great and our waitress was phenomenal. read more

Not sure why this place is popular. It's located in Town Center Mall where all the restaurants are at (by Capital Grille). It's a healthy alternative compared to other dining options in the area. I thought the food would be similar to Fresh Kitchen in Tampa but it is lacking in flavor. I would not recommend the grass fed burger: it was cold and lacking any flavor. The street corn was good although I wish it were off the cob. I would recommend the kale Caesar salad but it's pricey for what it is. It was my first time here but probably won't be back. read more

My friends and I attended a Spring Menu Preview event at True Food Kitchen at the end of March. This was my first time dining here, and I enjoyed the experience! We started off with Mediterranean hummus served with ancient grain pita. The starter was amazing with all the spices and red peppers blended together so nicely. The second course included small bites of pot roast sliders and yam and cheese bites. The pot roast was tender and juicy. But the yam bites were the biggest surprise because I liked it lol. The combo when I read the menu threw me off a little, but it worked! For the main course, I chose the Citrus Salmon Salad. The salad presented well and the salmon was crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful on the inside. I was happy with my choice! We were served several different drinks, some with and some without alcohol. My favorite drink was the Sparkling Prickly Pear Tisane, with zero alcohol. This drink was light and refreshing. The only drink I didn't care for was the Crime of Passion. My favorite dessert was the Pink Lime Tart with key lime & ube filling, marcona almond & coconut crumble. The crust was just as good as the filling! I'm down to check out this event with every changing season and in between! The service was great too. read more

They had no issues with free parking as the restaurant is located in the Town Center mall. We were seated promptly. Our waitress seemed distracted as she kept trying to get the attention of her colleague in the middle of our order. My wife found a hair in her food and they offered to remake it. The remade dish had burnt vegetables with extra sauce on top , perhaps to disguise the appearance of the vegetables? They did not charge us for the affected dish . The chicken sandwich was tasty and the meat was tender. We also ordered a flat bread but it was a little tough. We are normally pleased with the restaurant from previous visits so I am hoping this was an atypical night. read more

My family and I have loved True Food for years, but Mother's Day was such a let down. It breaks my heart that the entire evening was just one off thing after another. Simply put: *setting aside the line at the door which can happen anywhere that's busy, there's was a kitchen container (cambro) right in the middle of the check-in area catching the leaking ceiling. *the hosts did not seem experienced and the host stand incredibly disheveled * we waited 15+ minutes before being greeted by our server * once 30 mins of no water or drinks passed I went to the bar for some assistance and had to get our beverages through them * one bowl had a large crack splitting down the middle, and my Collin's glass was chipped along the side and only noticed when I was sipping from that spot * found a hair in two separate dishes * they didn't have enough glasses so they asked for one of our water cups that we got from the bar to put another beverage that we ordered into * our 2 appetizers came after our entrees On the upside, they did take off the late appetizers and the bar back/bartender who assisted us with water and a couple cocktails was an absolute angel. Our server was also very sweet but she was spread much too thin with too many tables/ people in her section. If you're understaffed then block reservations so that the people dining can have a quality experience. read more
