Yes, True Food Kitchen is all about fresh, organic, and nutritious food -- but honestly, even if it wasn't, I'd still give it 5 stars! The food and drinks were absolutely AMAZING. I had the All American Burger, and it was everything you want in a burger -- that rich, meaty texture that tells you you're eating real beef, and the True Food Kitchen sauce added just the right kick to bring it all together. My wife ordered the Mediterranean Wild-Caught Shrimp, and it not only looked incredible but actually tasted authentically Mediterranean -- a huge step above the generic farro and tzatziki you get at other places. Drinks were delicious and beautifully presented, and the ambiance inside was warm, stylish, and welcoming. This place gets everything right -- flavor, freshness, and feel. We'll definitely be coming back!

Based on previous visits today not so great. Shrimp way overcooked and no seasoning on sweet potato side. Ran out of our beverages and place not even busy. Too bad as it was our favorite place.

Thank you for your feedback, Joanne. We're sorry to hear about your experience with the shrimp and sweet potato, and we'll work on ensuring better consistency in the future.
