    Teriyaki Quinoa Bowl, V GF
    Roy H.

    Very nice place to grab lunch or easy meal. Huge indoor and outdoor patio section located on the corner of a multi complex. The food is really good and tastes fresh. Large menu worth a try. The service was really good; lot of nice folks on the staff.

    This place was great, the lunch combo is absolutely worth the price, and our server, Matthew, really took care of us. It's in a great spot across from the mall, and we were in and out. We will definitely be back!

    Burger with fries

    Stopped by on Saturday evening with the family for dinner. Was surprised that it was fairly empty at 6pm on a Saturday, nothing like it used to be. It used to be hoping at the bar, patio and restaurant. We were seated outside and seemed they didn't assign us a waitress. Fortunately one of the wait staff asked if we had been waited on and notified our waitress. We were underwhelmed by the food on this visit. The price has always been on the high end, but used to be really good quality. This time, not so much. Two of the entrees had chicken added, one was chopped salad and the other was the pasta with chicken added. The chicken was dry, almost like it had been cooked earlier in the day, chopped and placed to the side to be added to the entrees. Not freshly made for each entree. Basically same cold dry grilled chicken pieces on each. They advertised the air fried French fries, but were very skimpy on the side of fries with burger and included a good number of overcooked fries too. Almost like I received the end of the basket leftovers. I would suggest sticking with salad side vs $2 up charge for the fries. Overall, it seems that the smaller crowd may be an indication that the quality of food and service has gone down. Unfortunately, we all said this will be our last visit.

    I've been to several True Food Kitchen's in various states, it's arguably my favorite chain. As someone who generally steers clear from seed oils, I really value TFK's mission of using whole ingredients and avocado/olive oils in their dishes. I love that the menu is always changing, as I've never ordered a meal I didn't love. I typically order the grain bowl with tofu or chicken added, but today I decided to try one of the summer dishes: the watermelon salad with grilled chicken. It was a pretty good portion for being a starter and the grilled chicken only made the salad more filling. The passion fruit vinaigrette paired delightfully with the avocado mousse. To add an extra flavor kick I asked for jalapeños for a sweet-spicy combo. The staff are always so casual and friendly, making you feel right at home with every visit, wherever you're visiting from. The vibe is casual yet sophisticated and fun. This location was in a little suburban-luxury apartment complex, where it was easy to park and had parking validation. I will definitely be back, and hoping to visit all locations!

    This is our first time visiting this restaurant, and I am impressed. The service has been pleasant from the moment we walked in. Our server Jess was so sweet and recommended great selections. The food was flavorful! I love spicy food and my curry bowl had a nice mild spice. The open restaurant is nice but it's a little noisy. I will visit here again.

    Pretty decent food quality for vegetarian centered health food. You can order your proteins including meat. The dishes are well made with balanced flavor- I usually enjoy less salty dishes and this hit the right spot. We also ordered butternut squash pizza- I really enjoyed it. Ambience is super nice. We took outdoor seatings- when weather is good, you'll enjoy outdoor seating more. Service is great but the price is a bit on high side for the ingredients. Would come again for the pizza and the Penang curry bowl.

    I set my expectations too high based on the menu and concept of this place. My wife and daughter had raved about this place, so I decided to try it for lunch while in town for an appointment. The edamame dumpling was plain with limited flavor. The teriyaki quinoa bowl with chicken looked amazing, but the chicken was dry. Our server was relatively new, but did a great job with service. There is ample inside or patio dining to accommodate your preference. I will go back and give it another chance because of my wife's and my daughter's previous experience. Everyone can have an average day.

    Air fried french fries
    Tonisha B.

    First time back here in probably 6 years or so because I wasn't impressed with the food and the price the first time but I decided to give it another chance after a friend suggested it for lunch. We went Thursday around noon and it wasn't crowded at all. The service was decent but could use a little improvement when it comes to going over specials (I wasn't made aware there was a lunch special and would've loved to get that but oh well). I added chicken to the noodle bowl but honestly it didn't really need it. The mushrooms were hearty and actually my favorite part of the dish. I love potatoes but skip the french fries. They were hard and kind of like chips. The ketchup was unique though. My friend and I spit the bill but my card was swiped twice and I'm still waiting on the adjustment. The server was apologetic and said it was an honest mistake but it's still an inconvenience to me. They only have paid parking in that area now but True Food validates up to two hours. The menu has improved since I visited last but this definitely would not be my go-to.

    Soggy fries after waiting 30+ minutes past my order quoted time online. Gross.
    WatermelonGuy ..

    Online order was 30 minutes late and customer service was super lacking and inattentive, unfortunately not the first poor experience here which sucks because I used to hold TFK to such a high level of respect, sad days. Sat inside for 30 minutes and had to ask someone where my order was, no one ever even came back up to ask if I was waiting on something. Clearly poorly managed, with poor training, and bottlenecks somewhere in the service line. Overpriced and underserved. Won't be returning. Oh and even better the fries are soggy and undercooked after waiting all that time. Also legit had to ask two separate people to even talk to the manager.

    How do we make reservations?

    We used Open Table online.

    How is parking here? No more valet?

    Valet service is available Friday/Saturdays and for Sunday Brunch. Parking is very available in the four-floor subterranean garage attached to the property. No charge.

    Do they have a happy hour like other True Food locations?

    Happy Hour is finally here! Mondays thru Fridays, 3pm-6pm. Excellent deals on both food and drink -- might I recommend a Peach Mojito and Grilled Cheese Dipper pairing, both coming in at a stellar $8 HH pricing ea.

    Special hours on the weekend ? What does that mean?

    Normally the restaurant closes at 9pm, but on Friday's and Saturdays they're open until 10pm!

    Do they also serve the full menu during weekend brunch hours or only the brunch menu?

    I went during brunch hours & they served the full menu. Enjoy!

    Is there free parking? Where is the best place to park?

    As stated above, there is "free" valet parking. However, if you choose to forego the obligatory payment upon that free service, you my use the free public garage at the…

Appetizers, we got meatballs and wings. We also got a chocolate lava cake with cookies and cream ice cream as a dessert. 10/10 across the board! The wings are definitely a must - it's super light / airy crunch with great flavor. Their sauces are definitely homemade. The shrimp and grits... wow! Super buttery and creamy with amazing shrimp and gravy sauce. Must ask if they have dessert because the lava cake was SO decadent and warm. Will definitely be staying at the Hilton hotel and coming to this restaurant every time we come to Nashville! If you are diamond status for Hilton, you should definitely stop by because they do offer specials for diamond status members - free things! :)

The goat cheese with grilled peaches was absolutely amazing--great flavor and easily the highlight of the meal. If that were all we had eaten, I would have given this restaurant 5 stars.

The carrots were bland, and the potatoes were hard and also lacking in flavor. It was especially disappointing because everything was plated so beautifully.

HEADS-UP the happy hour menu is bar-top only, so plan accordingly if you're going specifically for those deals. Limited seating available. Happy Hour & Spice Level I had the happy hour cocktail it was bourbon, lemon and honey. The food was flavorful overall, but I do wish the menu clearly noted which items are spicy. Most of the happy hour dishes seemed to have some kind of chili oil or heat element. That may be great for people who enjoy spice, but it would be helpful to know ahead of time, especially if you're sensitive to heat. For dessert, we always come back for the chocolate panna cotta with graham cracker crumble and burnt marshmallow, which was a nice sweet finish. This one is a must! To put this into next level I recommend adding the pretzel bites instead of graham cracker and a few salted flakes. We also tried the almond butter cornbread with blackberry, but I would avoid it. It was pretty dry and didn't have enough balance. The manager? Said it was a new item they were trying. I think it would be much better with ice cream or a salted caramel sauce to add moisture and richness. It was dry even when I mentioned it they didn't comp it we only had a bite and immediately decided it wasn't worth it. Final Thoughts Overall, Answer is a nice spot with a great happy hour, but clearer spice notes on the menu and a few tweaks to the dessert options would make the experience better. If you are seating by the bar it gets loud I wish the bartender doesn't just throw the drinks/plates so aggressively that it clanks. Also this place gets loud definitely not a lot for sound to absorb.

It was a really nice day out so we had marked in our reservation that we wanted patio seating with a view. We were seated at a standard height half-booth table that did not have a view over the railing so it was kind of a waste. The booth material was also cracked/peeling along the seam so it was pinching my thighs (I was wearing a dress) and was uncomfortable. The food was just okay. It's definitely on the pricier side for brunch in Nashville, albeit probably in line for 12S. My partner's French toast was little burnt. The best thing was the truffle parm fries, but mainly because of the dipping sauce. I had the Beverly Club but it wasn't anything special and a little pricy for what it is. I'd be interested to see how their dinner service compares.

If you're in Nashville and need a lunch spot that works for actual conversation, this is it.

    Honestly the best meal we had while visiting Nashville. We enjoyed every course and our drinks…read more Waitress was suburb. We arrived early and staff accommodated that as well. We also left our bag from shopping under the table and it was closing when we left. We called and an employee met us at the door with it. We had Smoked Carpaccio to start (no pic) and an amazing arugal salad (no pic). Espresso martini and the spritz w rum added. We then had the venison, filet and butternut sqaush. The mashed potatoes with the filet were like butter, so good.
