We never miss coming here when in Kansas City. The atmosphere is great. It's located in a nice part of town. The food and service is excellent. This most recent visit the town was taken over by the World Cup and fans were everywhere. I was a bit disappointed they were out of their plant-based double cheeseburger, but a pizza substituted nicely. Recommended without hesitation. read more

Had the seasonal salad with chicken. Twas delicious. I've been to several locations and True Food always comes through for good healthy meals. My server was Mary and she was also great! read more

I had a great meal here with my friend tonight! I travel for work and am always happy to see a True Food Kitchen nearby. The quality is always great and they have a wide variety of options ranging from bowls to pizza to traditional entrees. I'll definitely be back while I'm in town! read more

True Food Kitchen - Spinach and Mushroom Pizza - New American Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Tried True Food yesterday for a solo date after looking at it for awhile and it was great for what I needed it. I was really hungry so it did not matter! I went on a weekend late night and realized it wasn't too busy. I ordered the lemonade and it did not taste anything like I was expecting it to taste. I had their guacamole apps and I enjoyed the chips the most! They were so good. I made sure to take them home with me. The entree was the star of the restaurant. I got the pasta and it was very delicious. I loved the flavor. My waiter was nice, she checked up on me through the night which I appreciate. read more

Had a very nice experience coming here with some friends who had been several times. They ordered the charred cauliflower and edamame dumplings which surprised me how much I enjoyed them. My friends got burgers and I had the jambalaya pasta. I liked the flavor of the pasta enough but the sauce didn't remind me of jambalaya at all. There was a little kick but there were no tomato-y flavors in it or enough garlic or something. It did still feel healthy so I wouldn't mind eating again but I'd probably order something else. Our service was excellent as we ended the meal with the cookie and ice cream which was massive and a great ending. read more

I crave the charred cauliflower app! It is. Must try. I wanted the lasagna but they had sold out for the day. I tried the hot matcha and it was a great ending to my meal. read more

This was my first time dining in and although the server was the best something seemed off about the visit. We were sat around a round table close by the patio door and as the door opened an closer the cool brief was a bit uncomfortable. So the server who greeted us noticed and asked us if we wanted to move and we agreed. However, the next round table had a piece of hair wrapped around the knife which I'm sure had to be whomever was in chair of setting the table. So, as you can probably guess that put a bit of hesitation into whether we were going to stay and dine. The entire time thinking and wondering what else would have a hair in it. Thankfully our food came and no additional hairs were present. I ordered the turkey burger but this time with the fries. The air-fried fries were a bit different as they seemed more like fry pieces. The broken fries that are normally at the bottom of the bag. I myself won't order them again and was happy that the turkey burger was still as delicious as i remember. I had to give this review 3 stars for to the hair found and the disappointment of the fries. read more

We had a great experience at True Food, and with our server, Kanyon. True Food is clearly committed to providing an dietary inclusive, flexible, high quality menu. Given the prices on the higher end, I was delighted with how accommodating they were for dish modifications and special requests. Every member of our table got something different off the menu and each dish was a hit. True Food is definitely a great, casual yet elevated spot to bring folks and know that there's something on the menu for everyone. read more

Location couldn't be better for a view and people watching. Service was outstanding with promptness and exploring the menu. We only ordered appetizers and they were delicious and filling. See pics. Hummus was lovely and the pita chips were light Edamame dumplings were light and albeit filling. Pizza was thin crust also yet filling for zesty squash with burrata cheese. Excellent wine selection and the server was knowledgeable and provided good recommendations. read more

It was our first time at this restaurant, and the staff was both helpful and friendly, which enhanced our experience. As someone who follows a low-sodium lifestyle, I appreciated having the nutritional information for the menu items available. My husband ordered the grass-fed burger for dinner. It was juicy, fresh, and bursting with flavor, and the bun was soft. He also had a side of sweet potatoes, which paired perfectly with the burger. He mentioned feeling satisfied but not overly full afterward. I chose the Chinese chicken salad, which came with generous slices of grilled chicken. I opted for the dressing on the side since I'm allergic to ginger. It was good but I probably would find something different next time since it was a little dry with no dressing. I love that. They also offer a variety of gluten-free options as we have someone in our family with celiac disease. we are looking forward to coming back and trying their menu as it changes with the season. read more

I thought True Food Kitchen would offer a delicious, but healthy meal. Instead the food was bland and forgettable. We ended up going elsewhere to eat after trying the food here. We sat at the bar and the bar tender was pleasant. The vibe is a mix between Olive Garden (chain restaurant) and Tropical Smoothie Cafe (fast casual dining). read more

I am known to write reviews years later, that stick in my mind and True Food Kitchen is no exception. Was traveling through and being someone who values healthy food, I had to try this spot. Let me tell you, it's a good vibe the moment you walk in, smiling faces, and delicious food! I loved the charred cauliflower with chipotle sauce, I can't recall if I asked for it or if they gave it with the order, but it was perfect! I really never eat lasagna but tried it here since it seemed like a specialty and it was so worth it. I had a couple apps, and drinks, can't recall exactly which ones, but when I left I recalled how good the meal was. Just want to help people find good places to eat since it seems rare these days. This was perfect for a meal on the go. read more

Not a vegan place read more

I'm definitely in my crunchy era, so I was excited to try True Food Kitchen! The restaurant vibes were modern and clean. And it's nice that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. My husband and I did the dinner duo where you could choose an app, two entrees and a dessert. I might have had too high of expectations, everything was good, but not great. I definitely appreciate the real, whole ingredients and sourdough though! Service was good, nothing special. There was some confusion with our order and us getting double of things. Timing was a little off too, our sides came out when we were almost done with our entrees, but dessert came out before we were done with our entrees. Nothing major. I was super full by the end of the night, but not overly stuffed, like I still felt good, which is a true testament of their real, whole foods! I think I'll be back! read more

I got a pasta with chicken, I was very impressed by the pasta with its mix of vegetables, fun pasta, shapes, herbs and such. I was much less impressed by the chicken which seemed small (but ok to be fair it's organic and such) -- and I chose the option to get it blackened, but it looked like it had just been mildly toasted. Less carcinogens for my health, i suppose? The pasta was very rich and flavorful (so much I'm glad I had plain protein pasta to cut it with) and the chicken was fine (not amazing but nothing terrible about it either. read more

Update. We never got our money back, even tho they offered to refund it and we have followed up, This has happened two other times. One time we only got half of a pretty large order, another time they left off a pizza- not a big deal but we still should have been refunded, since it was like 25 bucks with the gluten free crust. Both times we have had to call repeatedly (last time we called SIX times before it was resolved). GUYS- don't offer a refund if you're not going to process it! We should have just contested with our credit card this time. We're going that route now and will not be returning. read more

The salads were so fresh and crunchy. I had the Asian chicken salad and enjoyed the delicate tasting ginger dressings. I paired it with the ginger tea!

If Yelp had a Hall of Fame for servers, Bailey would already have a statue out front... probably holding a tray in one hand and solving world peace with the other. From the moment we sat down, Bailey appeared like some kind of hospitality ninja--friendly, fast, and somehow already knowing what we needed before we did. I'm pretty sure she refilled my drink before I even realized it was empty. At one point, I considered testing her by thinking really hard about needing ketchup... and boom--there it was. Either she's incredibly attentive or mildly psychic. I'm not ruling anything out. Bailey didn't just take our order--she guided us through it like a seasoned tour guide of Flavor Town. Her recommendations were spot on, and I would trust her with major life decisions at this point. Career advice? Probably solid. Fantasy football picks? Undeniably elite. What really stood out though was her energy. She made the whole experience fun without being over the top--like the perfect mix of professional and "we've been friends for 10 years." The kind of server that makes you want to come back, not just for the food, but to see if she's working. Honestly, if every restaurant had a Bailey, the service industry would collapse because no one could compete. 10/10. Five stars. Would follow Bailey to another restaurant if she ever leaves (please don't). read more

Service by Bailey was very pleasant. We will look for her next time. The manager ( male) on staff was also pleasant. What an evening!!! Thx guys. read more

True Food Kitchen - 3- jambalaya's and one Korean noodle. - New American Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We love this place! This is my second time back. I took my wife and another couple after I had a business meeting there last time. Both couples enjoyed the Thai noodles, one with tofu and the other with chicken and they were amazing! my dining companion had the veggie double cheeseburger and I had the grass-fed cheeseburger! Everyone enjoyed their meals immensely the place was magnificent. I love the interior here as well as the incredibly friendly staff and staff. Free parking is just up the street next-door. We can't wait to return! read more

Ashleigh took amazing care of us. The Ancient Grain Bowl and the Butternut Squash soup were delicious.

One of my fav spots in KC for a quick bite! It's very reliable and has a wide range of things to choose from. The inside has a great vibe & when it's nice enough outside, their patio is one of my favorites! They also have great seasonal selections. I got their lunch "True Trio" special where you can choose a main + pairing + beverage for $19.50. I got the pink dragon fruit lemonade (delicious and very refreshing), edamame dumplings (I really enjoyed these + the unique flavor of the dashi), & the mediterranean wrap (I added chicken and it was pretty good!). Will always come back to this place and get to try something new. Honorable mentions not pictured: skinny marg, pomegranate mojito, lasagna, spinach & wild mushroom pizza, roasted brussel sprouts. read more

Seasonal pizzas here are undeniably fresh and fantastic. It also doesn't hurt they are included during the happy hour specials. The last time I popped into this healthy sit down eatery on the country club plaza the flavor of the season was a delectable butternut squash variety. The chewy thin crust had the perfect char and the aromatic sage and thanksgiving adjacent spices made for such a pleasant eating experience. Every bite reminded me of the nuances of why I like winter instead of the existential dread it can bring. The warm garlicky flavors with the subtle sweetness of the buttery orange squash worked extremely well together. Additions to the pie included rich deeply amber caramelized onions and hearty dollops of creamy vegan?! ricotta cheese, that could have used a little bit of salt and pepper but almost has a cottage cheese texture, for being dairy free it was darn good! read more

Food was bad, mayo was something vegan, no coke, very overpriced. Service was adequate,

Service was extremely slow. Busy on Saturday afternoon but wait for food after ordering was over one hour. Food was edible but. Overpriced. read more

Went on a Wednesday night. Place was not too busy, which was perfect. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient. The bright eyes drink was fresh with a slight kick from the ginger. Ordered the roasted brussel sprouts which were flavorful and tangy with that squeeze of lime. The vibe is chill yet classy. Great place for a date or just to grab drinks. My server was really nice, Mary may have been new but she handled my questions and everything quickly. My only complaint is that this place is so far from my apartment. read more

We selected True Foods to bring an out of town guest for a fresh seasonal meal. Sadly we chose the wrong place for a good meal. The food took forever to arrive. We watched multiple tables who arrived after us receive their food, eat and leave, while we sat and waited for our food. After the long wait we were all very hungry. Sadly, the food was a disappointment, it was not the mouthwatering, savory bites promised on the menu. Rather, the flavor was bland and underwhelming. The salmon was undercooked and the dessert was nothing special. This was not the meal we had hoped for with our company. Given the slow service and mediocre food quality, I cannot recommend True Foods at the Plaza in KC. Lastly, we watched as other customers were given a laminated QR code and asked to leave a review. When our check arrived we were not provided with that same QR code. This doesn't say we want honest reviews. In truth, I never write reviews, had I been asked to provide my feedback I likely would not have done so. Given the obvious exclusion to request feedback I felt more compelled to provide this review. read more

Came mid-day. Completely empty, but the host attempted to seat us right next to the only other table in the restaurant. Strange choice, told her we would prefer literally any other table. Nothing wrong with sitting next to someone, but in an empty restaurant, it's awkward at best. Ordered 2 burgers medium. They came completely charred. Didn't send back, was not feeling confident. It begs the question, why offer temperature preference if it's going to come charred regardless. The flavor was not there. Pretty expensive for what tasted like a backyard burger, salt & pepper are your friend. The menu is a little limited - probably due to hamstringing themselves in ingredient options. The building is nice, located in a lovely area. It does feel like a waste of a really nice spot. Big company with big name investors, unfortunately, it seems they will be able to weather burning money due to not being busy & providing nothing special other than 'no seed oils & fresh ingredients.' Places like that are a dime a dozen, and you will find the same quality at an EatFitGo. read more

I had my first and last experience here tonight. Our waitress, who was doing her best, shared that they were out of some items, and come to find out, they were out of all but one entree, no chicken breasts, not gluten free buns, and more. The reason was a "change in the summer menu". I have never had an experience where half the menu wasn't available. I felt bad for the servers who had to share it with the customers as it was awkward and they shouldn't be put in this spot. They should have just closed if they didn't have half their options. We should have left but we were already settled, so we stayed. Disappointing. read more

First time visiting, I did have a reservation and received it pretty quickly the wait staff was pleasant attentive restaurant looked great. I ordered the All American Burger medium well and I had the kale on the side I wanted the new fries but unfortunately after my order was taken the waiter came back and said they were all out so I'll be trying them in the future hopefully the burger was a four out of five the meat was tender full of flavor bread was soft feelings were flavorful the only reason it's a four out of five versus a five out of five is the size of the burger it's a little on the small side the kale was a 4 out of five and I'm not a big kill person but whatever seasoning they put on it it really did cut the bitterness for me my wife had a horchata which was a 5 out of five per her and her green Bowl was also a four and a half out of five if you've never been you should definitely come and give him a try I will be coming back at some point in time to try those fries with another Burger read more

Visited around late lunchtime (1p) busy but no wait. Nice clean atmosphere with lots of natural light. It still took a bit long to get our order in and same with getting our food out (over 30 mins total) but our server was friendly and talkative (making sure we didn't feel ignored). I had the tuna poke bowl. Tasty and filling - maybe a little overpriced but expected considering the location. Good quality and fresh ingredients elevated the meal. read more

One of my favorite spots in the city! The butternut squash pizza is to die for. They only have it on the winter menu, but it's my go-to order. Their squash pie is another delicious option! I've taken both family and friends and everyone has absolutely loved it. You can't go wrong with any order and the portions are great! If it's busy, service can be a little slower, but the vibes inside are relaxing while still being bright and fun so grab a cocktail and the wait will be worth it! Highly recommend! read more
