I go here for business lunches quarterly and the food is always consistent. Nicole was our server today. She was great. Patient and attentive while not imposing so we could conduct our business conversation. Thanks Nicole! read more

True Food Kitchen is one of our go-to restaurants. If we don't know what we are hungry for but are looking for hearty, satisfying food in a bright, welcoming atmosphere; this is the place. Their seasonal fare is usually outstanding. We also love trying their non-alcoholic drinks as they're very creative and refreshing. Dishes come and go so if you try something you like you should go back while they have it. The first time we tried True Food was years ago and they had something called "The Inside Out Burger". We had it a few times and although it was so popular that news articles were written on it, one day it was gone. Alas! But as always, there are wonderful new dishes to try. read more

Came with a group of 8 for dinner and was a little disappointed - I had an okay experience at the Bethesda location and was hoping for a better one here. A friend and I shared the margarita pizza, which was good but nothing notable. I couldn't tell if it was frozen or not, but it was thin crusted and tasted like a standard pizza. My friends tried the chicken pesto bowl and burger (can't remember the rest), but unfortunately everyone was dissatisfied with their meals and didn't finish. I think food quality and flavor missed the mark here. The assistant general manager also offered us free dessert in exchange for a 5-star review on Google or Yelp if we mentioned his name. He offered us some chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream to share. The cookies were supposed to be a healthier version - they tasted different, kind of like oats. This was a nice gesture and more positive end to the dinner, but it just didn't feel right writing a 5-star review considering the lackluster entrees. read more

Our first time, we choose it base on the concept of healthy food and light lunch. We had friends visiting town from Europe. The decor was minimum and clean, very refreshing and on brand. While I can appreciate the concept and most of the preparation. There are a few major mishaps. 1. For an alternative dining restaurant, their alternative choice was actually quite limited. Only dairy options were cow and almond. No choices for bread, only sourdough. Etc. 2. Menu items are missing crucial details. Salad dressing that has chili flakes but not mentioned any where by anyone. Children's side of hummus was spicy but not notified. 3. Servers seemed to be under-educated on their own menu items. The menu is not big, but even a simple question of "what is the dressing for this salad" was met by: let me check with the chef. While this was a casual lunch, it was not a cheap one. So I was a bit disappointed for my first visit. read more

My friend and I shared many apps here on a Friday evenings. The charred cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, and the new aid crisp'd fries. I was so excited they now have fries and they were yum. We got the Peri Peri ketchup which had a delightfully spicy kick. The charred cauliflower was delicious with a strong umami flavor from the tahini. Our server, Lazarus was attentive and welcoming - and checked on us several times. We were very impressed by his service. As a vegan, I love having a reliable place, with real choices for me -- and with the great service we had - we'll definitely be back. read more

Once again we had fantastic food! Love the Thai chicken wraps. Elizabeth is an amazing friendly, and warm waitress. She was on it!

The vibe is pretty laid back. Service was good. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals. Accommodations for dietary requirements. read more

True Food Kitchen - Meatloaf with cheesy mashed potatoes. - New American Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I start off by saying that the ingredients here are of above average to superior quality. Likewise the service is lovely and attentive, and organizationally, it seems not there are lots of people who handle specific tasks as well as those who round robin. From the perspective of a very discerning client as I dine out often, I appreciate little things like that. Likewise the ambiance and seating are all decent; with the only thing being that the interior is sometimes too cold, though that is likely not a problem during the summer months in which case they have a lovely outside seating area which has music low enough to carry a conversation; and which is half-closed, thus providing some privacy from passers-by. Toward the latter end I would also point out that it is on the less traversed side of RTC, providing some level of respite for weary or low-key patrons. Unfortunately, the reason for my less than favorable score is because of three things: the food; the price; and the value. Whereas the quality of ingredients is not in question, the quality of execution and, in some cases, concepts, is highly suspect. While several items can be quite well balanced in terms of portion, flavor, and cohesion, others miss entirely. Likewise, many items--as I anticipated--suffer from a lack of flavor and seasoning. Given the premise of the restaurant being of superior quality and sourcing, as well as healthy, I knew what I was getting into--or supposed to have been getting into. But the health value of the food here is not practical from all athletes' perspectives. I suppose I would say here that the ambition of the restaurant overshadows It's ability to deliver, and its vision is too broad; or at the least unsupported by its conclusion. I further have to offer quarrel with the fact that several items are literally an item--in the singular. Are you ordering the tuna tostada? Well, it is, literally, a single tostada. Imprecise advertising? Not necessarily. Fraudulent? Definitely not. Common to the standards of diners and colloquial understanding? Nay. And I would be remiss to not point out that several of these items are advertised as a Happy Hour, as if enticement to visit is heightened based off such. But is it enticement, or merely inducement? The latter. But that is fine; just pointing this out for clarity. What is not fine, however, is that I noticed a lower level of attention to detail and quality in the happy hour items as opposed to the regularly priced / regular menu items. While that may be a coincidence, were such a trend to only appear in one or two items, it occurred nigh universally. To be fair, perhaps the items on the happy hour are either less popular or [insert alternative explanation as you desire here]. Which brings me lastly, friends, to the price point and value. I cannot say I would be less satisfied were I to visit Taco bell, Wendy's, or Subway; if we want to be health conscious. If we're comparing relative satisfaction within the same area, I am at a loss as to why one would not simply go to Fogo de Chao or Mason's, both also located at Reston Town Center. If comparing like product, eg health-conscious and or source-premium items, I would tender superior reference to Hot Spot or Kare Bar, both of Chantilly. As this restaurant is very popular, locally and nationally, I hope a positive change may result in the future. As of now, I cannot, under any circumstances, tender favorable comment; nor revisit, outside of particular, unique, or compelling circumstances. read more

This is a great version of the True Food Kitchen brand! Love to sit outside and experience the Reston Town Center ambience. I have consistently experienced great food and service here. On my last visit, my friends and I received great, patient service from Chris the bartender as we transitioned from happy hour to dinner. A fabulous place for all kinds of dietary preferences, too. read more

True Food Kitchen reminds me a bit of Seasons 52, but has more menu options. The food offerings are fresh and inventive, and the atmosphere is casual. read more

The restaurant was empty and that should have been a clue. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The overall ambiance was ok, Just very open. My partner had a bowl which she described as "ok" but the salmon was not good. I had a hamburger, it was more or less cooked to order, it was not very good. The mashed potatoes were very good. Dessert was a very dry chocolate chip cookie with a TABLESPOON of ice cream. At best it was disappointing. We decided that we will never visit it again. read more

I was in the mood for a healthier meal via DoorDash and stumbled upon a local True Food Kitchen in my neighborhood and decided to give it a shot. First of all the menu offers such a wide variety of healthy options and it can literally satisfy any craving because of lots of healthier spins on traditional comfort foods. I went with the Charred Cauliflower for a starter and a Mediterranean inspired salad which I added salmon for a protein and both were absolutely delicious! The salad ingredients were perfectly balanced and the dressing added just the right sprinkling of magic to tie it all together. The items were also packaged well for delivery while maintaining the integrity of solid presentation. I was thoroughly pleased with my meal overall and can't wait to order from here again! read more

Total fan! My friends have been raving about True Food Kitchen for months now, and I can see why! The food is delicious AND healthy. I can enjoy a meal packed with flavor without feeling like a bloated log afterwards. The brussel sprouts were cooked in what seemed like a sweet chili sauce. 10/10. I also had the cauliflower pizza, and that was amazing! I finished the entire thing because it was just that good. But the amazing part is that I didn't feel uncomfortably stuffed afterwards. This place really is quite a gem, and I will definitely be back! read more

I'm still hungry, but on a positive note, I did not leave True Food feeling gross or sick to stomach like some other places. The food is really good. The butternut squash flatbread we had, had wonderful flavors. They complimented each other well. The salad was so fresh. It had great flavors! My husband enjoyed it. My absolute favorite was the teriyaki bowl. It was so good. It was also piping hot. Pizza crust is thing, FYI I like that the menu changes with the season. Pricing was not too bad.

Anali was the best! Prompt and courteous. The atmosphere was super chill and that air fried chicken was the best. My favorite part was the pomegranate mimosas!

Such a cool place in the Reston Town Center complex. The food is great! We had a new server...she did fairly well. She answered my questions. They have cocktails, but even a few mocktails. I highly recommend the Blueberry 75. It was a nonalcoholic sparkling with blueberries floating to the top! The Hatch Chili Turkey burger was cooked perfectly. It have avocado, Bibb lettuce, and a tasty sauce. It came with white and purple fingerling potatoes...yummy yummy. The brussel sprouts appetizer and charred cauliflower appetizers helped me get my veggies in for the day. The brussel sprouts have peppers and mushrooms with it, which gave a little spice kick to the app. And I ended the evening with their squash pie - similar to a sweet potato pie but not as sweet for the flavor profile. They also had a flourless chocolate cake with vegan vanilla ice cream and chocolate nibs; it was delicious. They have a full bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and several seating options (booth, table, bar counter). I'll definitely go back!! read more

From the decor to the food and drinks, you can't go wrong with this place. I first discovered this establishment in Veg a few years ago and have been coming to Reston location since. My favorite app is the edamame dumplings, I highly recommend it. The margarita pizza is spot on, get it with extra basil and well done. The vegan burger is great as well as the lasagna. Try any of their desserts, you can't go wrong! The service provided by Chris and Brianna was excellent. If you're in the area, check them out!! read more

Good food and our waiter, Chris, was great! Quiet enough to talk to each other over brunch.

Juman was amazing and very much on point. I will be back for sure just because of the great vibes

Awesome food. Hummus was delicious. Chicken Parm was exquisite. Excellent service. Elizabeth was lovely.

This is very clearly a super hipster cafe. I adore it so much, in part because of it. I adore light bulb shaped light fixtures, and am a big fan of murals. There are pictures attached- my favorite is the avocado mural. There's avocado toast on the menu! Sold. The pink lemonade tasted like summer- dragonfruit made it more *magenta* than *pink*, but that's just pure pedantry and either way we loved it so much that I got a to go cup to take the rest of what I had home. The mac n cheese was amazing, the parmesan making it rich, thick, and deliciously cheesy. The burger I got (which I can't remember the name of, but can remember it was the bottom left burger with mushrooms) was also rad as hell. The mustard I asked for paired really nicely with it. Our server was Brianna, and she was absolutely just the sweetest. When she found out I had never been (was there with a partner) was ready to answer any questions I might have about the menu, and made sure to prompt me with asking if there were any questions. Got me mustard immediately when I asked, though she was apologetic about it not being yellow. (Side note, their stone ground nonsense? Fantastic, super duper good.) Was quick, friendly, laughed when I excitedly responded with a mouthful of food to tell her how amazing the food was. Sorry, miss, I was definitely raised in a barn. Obviously, loved this place. Absolutely would go again! read more
